which begins in Washington or Tuesday of this
week, promises to be more than usually inter-
esting. During the last few years the Episcopal
Church has been undergoing a most significant in
ternal revolution, one result OF which has been
the virtual disappearance of the old Low Church
party, and the rapid growth of the Broad Church
school of thought During the same period, also,
the High Church party has grown in numbers and
coLcrencc, and is now getting ready to break a
lance with the Broad Churchmen. The Church
Congress, being by it's very constitution q free
forum for the expression Of all shades Of opinion
in the Church, has naturally attracted to it the
Broad Churchmen, while il has just naturally
excited the suspicion, if not the opposition of many
extreme High Churchmen. This Is not the fault
OF the Church Congress, whose officers are only
too anxious to give hearing to both schools Of
thought, but arises from the fact that thoroughly
consistent High ChGrchman must believe that only
his own opinions are right, ard that the eX-
preston of any other opinion is 'heretical In
spite of the opposition to it, however, the Con-
gress is great and growing power in the Episcopal
Church, and cnists among its writers and speakers
some of its abcst and clearest thinkers. The
topics to be discussed at the coming meeting are
Of great practical importance, and the uttcrances
on them will excite general attention. even outside
the Episcopal Church.

Come now, Mr.. Hill, honest Injun, is it owing
to public care TO private spite that you have
determined to hold on TO your office until January
| and thus keep General Jones out of the Gov
ernorship? Thinking 1t over, don't you see that
you are really petty, contemplate sort Of
creature, built on q small scale and devoted to
mean purposes?
During the last decade the hopes of Irshmen
everywhere for the attainment of Home Rule
for their native land have centred around the
person of the late Charles Stewart Parnell. The
last twelve months have been crowded with in
cidents Of weighty import 70 Ireland's cause. The
tragic and pathetic ending Of Mr. Parncll's career
touched the sensibilites Of every hearted
man and woman, no matter how widely in
dividual opinions may have differed on the moral
points associated with his latter days. Certainly
Mr.. Parnell accomplished much for Ireland and
even his most unrelentng enemy ought not 10
begrudge proper and reasonable euogy. Probably
no man is better qualified TO give voice to the
varied sentiments of the Irish In fitting tribute
to Mr.. Parncll than Chauncey NJ Depew 1t is
delicate task which few m,n could hope sue
ccssfully to perform Unusual interest exists
everywhere In what Mr.. Depcw shall have TO SAY

One of the needs Of Barnard College is scholar
ships in order TO extend the benefits OF the in
stituton to young women who cannot afford to
pay the tuition fees. In default of scholarships
efforts being made to raise funds TO supply the
money needed for the education of poor girls
The cause is a worthy one and deserves public
furtherance whenever appeal is put forth in its
behalf The prosperity of Barnard is shown by
the fact that the present freshman class is twice
as large as last years.

There is singular condition Of things Id
Broolxlvn arising from the reappointment as
member of the Board of Education of man VINO
q wear or two ago retired from the Board under
what is ALPHABETICALLY termed "a cloud" Inc
fact Is that he was found to be connected with
the purchase of a piece of real estate by the
Board in such a way as to make neat little
sum for himself 1t is believed that when
Mayor Chaplin reappointed him he was not fully
aware of the facts in the case. Anyhow the
other members of the Board are greatly incensed
over the matter, and large number Of them
threaten to resign IL Barthman holds on to the
Mace he has secured Their feeling is easily
understood The appointment ought to be re-
scinded forthwith and the reasons for doing this
plainly set forth.

Will Secretary Rusk kindly send General
Dyrenforth to the relief Of this city?

Some time ago, it will be remembered, Mayor
Grant proclaimed that in point Of cleanliness the
streets Of this city were equal to those of any
other city on this continent and would compare
favorably with those Of the European capitals. IL
would be good thing for him, and perhaps for
New-York, if he should improve his present OPP
portunity to confirm or revise his recent assertion
Not everybody has been willing to take the Mayors
say-so on the subject.

The utteranccs of Lord Salisbury; the Mar
auis di Rudini and the Emperor of Austria are
analysed in our special cable dispatches with
view TO the determination of the chances OF
European war The general effect of all these
official declarations is markedly pacific. If Lord
Salisbury was uncompromising in his treatment
of the Egyptian question the Italian statesman
was unusually diplomatic in his references to
France. The Emperor of Austria in asking FOR
money for the army could hardly do otherwise
than qualify his own sanguine forecasts OF Con-
tinental peace. Diplomatic rhetoric counts for
little in the European circle OF camps. When so
many nations are under the tremendous strain
of preparation for war Oh grand scale, it Is
generally some unforeseen and often trivial Incl
dent that plunges the Continent into war.
President Harrson's speech in receiving the
Gillian Minister was what Spanish diplomacy
never is-drect and almost brsque. 1t was
evidently designed TO be an explicit declaration
Of American policy respecting the obligations OF
neutrality and nOn-intervention in the alialrS
of other nations on this Continent. As such II
has a clear, unmistakabe ring. The United
States aims to maintain the frcndliest relations
with all its neighbofs, and TO exert its influence
always on the side Of peace When war arises
il preserves strict and honorable neutrality.
During the Chi.ian complications it was as en-
phatic in its refusal to allow an American ship
TO carry Balmaceda'' silver cut Of Valparaiso
as it was to avoid giving aid TO his enemies.
The questions involved in the conflict were
CHILEAN. and the American Government had
nothing to do with them. Non-interyention was
its only policy and when excitement has been
arlayed in Chill the honorable and painstalsing
Sorts of the United States to fulfil the obIga-
tons of neutrality will be appreciated That is
the substance of as forcible and painspoken a

Captain Pratt. in his report on the Carlisle
Indian School, takes occasion to refer again to
the benefits derived from the so-called outing
system p,ps,cd with the Indian youth under his
charge there. The good accomplished by this
plan of giving these young men and women a prac-
teal grounding in the purposes and meaning Of
our civilization is deserving of all the emphasis
that is put upon it. The Carlisle School has done
work Of inestmable Importance in educating
and turning toward practical and useful citizen
ship the rising generation of the Indians. but
there is no part of it's scheme that is more val
liable than this As Captain Pratt points out.
the fashion of bringing young Indians into actual
personal and commercial relations with the better
class Of white industrial people begets in them
common-sense ideas Of individuality and indc.
pendence and self-support. Such course Is doubly
valuable, since the Governmental policy toward
the wards Of the Nation" has so long tended
to inculcate notions Of exactly opposite nature

Report of Spring Grove Asylum.

The board of managers Of the Spring
Grove insane Asylum, Gainesville, met a
that institution few days ago and received
Medical Superintendent Richard Gundry 5 an
uual report concerning the condition of the
asylum. DR.. Grundry reported IN the insti
luton at present 424 patients, the whole mum
Der under treatment during the year being
52s. There were discharged II and 80 died
during the year. The Treasurer's repor
showed that the year closed withouta deb
remaining upon the hospital. The manage
ment is much embarrassed owing TO the neg
lect Of the counties to pay the subsidy annual
" due for patients sent there The sun
owing from the II counties and Baltimore
city amounts to S24,962 80. DR.. Grundry
strongly advised the separation Of the white
from the colored patients.
This county has many patients at this in
stitution, for which it has to pay $3.50 each,
Der annum. In consequence of mismanage-
meut a large sum was due the Institution al
one time, but has been boiled down Of late
to a mere pittance.

Bel Alton


The name of the dear old village of Cox $
Station, with to US It's pleasant memories and
associations, has been changed to Bel Alton
the lofty, the high, the picturesque. The
purpose Of the change is 10 suit those inter-
ested in the development Of that vicinity who
think that more can be done towards its i'm
provcment under its new name than the old /.
So may it be. Nothing should BE- allowed to
stand in the way Of progress, but we doubt
very much if the change will accomplish any
greater results than if the village we're allow
ed to retain the name Of its energetic founder
lie was all energy, thrift aud push, and the
village that bore bis name is forcible evil
