The Case of Or. Bro oks.

The contest now going ON over the c0nfir-
nation of Phillips Brooks as bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal church is of great sig
nihcance. From the present outlook DR..
Brooks seems likely to be confirmed by a
bare majority Of the votes of the dioceses.
But there is possibility Of his defeat,-a de-
feat that would probably shake to its foun-
dations the Episcopal church of America.
The controversy over Dr. Brooks's confrma-
tionis Only one part of battle that has
been waged for centuries in the senior branch
OF professionalism. 1t is high church against
low church, the claims of the efficacy of
historic Episcopacy against the denials of
those VINO believe that Bishops are really
unessentlal part of the great church of
Christians. The High Church claim is that
divine grace has been transmitted from the
apostles down through an uninterrnnted
line OF bishops by tactual succession, Ac-
cOrding to this view no clergyman can be
properly ordained except by bishop who is
repository of a portion of this divine grace
transmitted through the line of bishops
from the fountain head of eighteen
centuries ago. Now Phillips Brooks does
not subscribe to these views. He Is a Low
Churchman, and he believes, as he an
nounced recently, that the whole body of
Christians constitute the church, and that
the bishops are only part, and not an es-
sentlal part In short, he does not accept
them as the regularly established channel of
the divine grace. Because he does not be-
lieve In this character of the body of bishops
the High Church section of the Episcopal
body are opposing his confirmation as bIshop.
That they are able to make SO strong an nm.
position is significant circumstance in the
American church, which has from verv earlv
times been Low church in its tendencies. It
means that the High Church party is grad
ually gathering into its hands the powers of
the church.
This conflict between the High and Low
Church ideas is very old. When Henry
VIII, asovereign of Catholic England. began
his conflict with the Pope, the English
branch of the Catholic church was cut off
from the rest of the church. The Pope
ceased to be the head. But bishops and
plan OF organization and observances were
retained as in the Catholic church. But
Henry VIII was aided and sustained in his
conflict with the Pope by the protestant SYM
pathies OF England; and the spirit of pro-
testantism was against not only the Pope
but the ideas and ceremonials of the Catholic

church. Archbishop Cramner, who wrote
the prayer book, .and who exercised great
influence over Henry VIII. was a Low
churchman, although the term was not then
used. Cramner's ideas pervaded and in
auenced the church of England greatly in its
early years. But with the accession of the
Stuarts, who held with James. the first of
their line on the throne of England, that
there can be no state without king and no
church without 2 bishop, came a reac-
tion. The later Stuarts were actually Catho-
lies, but as they could not bring their people
over to the Pope they contented themselves
with bringing the church Of England as near
to the Catholic church as possible. With
the house of Hanover came reaction, and
the old anti-cathollcism of .Cramner became
more the ruling spirit. But again in 1882,
when the reform bill of Earl Gray and Lord
Russell drove the aristocracy from this con-
troll Of the bor0ughs, the Tory party turned
to the church. and there consolidated their
strength by bringing about reaction to
High Church ideas. Cardinal Newman was
the product OF and leader in this move
ment. But Cardinal Newman followed High
Church principles to what he considered
their logical conclusions, and found himself
forced to pass over to Catholicism. To-day
Lord Salisbury is a high Churchman, but
he is statesman as well. He is appointing
Low Churchmen as well as High Churchmen
to the sees of England. The present Arch.
bishop Tate was Low Churchman. The
Archbishop of York, Magee. lately deceased,
was Low Churchman. So was Dean
Stanley.
In America the great body of the laity
have been Low Church in their ideas. and
probably still are. But the High Church
party has been growing unquestionably in
influence and power. as is very signally
shown in its strong opposition to man SO
eminent and irreproachable as is Phillips
Brooks. He is opposed simply upon the
issue between High and Low Church ideas
upon the question Of the historic episcopacy

There seems to perfect craze in New

sufficient to catch thousands of New Eng.

1t would be interesting to know just how
much money has been invested in these con.

Is that they catch chiefly people of small

The Concord Monitor has been making
some inquiries as to the opportunities taE-
work In that State, and it finds them abun-
dant both in the trades AMI in the depart
ment Of agricultural labor. The Connecti-
cut Courant, which has been looking es-
pecially into the demand for and sup
ply OF farm laborers, reports that
the former very much exceeds the
latter, and that 1t is almost impossible
to obtain good farm help at any reasonable
price. The truth seems to be that there is
very little excuse for anybody who is able
and willing to work being out of employ
ment vi course 1t is impossible for eyey-
body to obtain exactly the employment
which best suits his taste, but If man is
disposed to take what he can get there is lit.
tie danger of his not being able to get any,
thing. Yet demagogues are perambulatipg

times are all out of joint, that the poor man
is being crushed by the capitalist, that our

thing closely akin to serfdom and that their
only hope lies in the formation of a new
party which shall flood the country with an
lrredeemable currency, and make the gov
ernment sort of eleemosynary corporation,
with Its hands outstretched to assist every
body who is hard up. without much regard
to how his condition has been brought about,
no matter even If twas by his own laziness
or improvidence. OF course the promises of
these demagogues are utterly absurd. The
government is pauper, having no money
except what the people contribute to it. The
scheme that these demagoguesproposes is
essentially to compel the industrious, the
prudent and thrifty to contribute to the
support of the lazy, the improyident and the
shiftless.

When Speaker Reed counted the Quorum
In the House of Representatives the
paper that abused him most heartily
ana most persistently was the Florida Times
Union, published In Jacksonville. In season
and out of season that paper heaped upon
Mr.. Reed every form of abuse that witless
brutality could devise. Yesterday there
came to the Office Of the pnEss a Times
Union filed with BOOSTERS, triumphant head
lines and every other typographical sign of
delight The occasion was the reelection of
Wilkinson Call by the counting of quorum
In the Florida Democratic legislature. A
portion the Democratic party reyolted
against Call, and would not support him.
When the legislature assembled in Joint ses-
sion the anti-Call members refused to vote.
There were but 81 Call men. and "a were re-
CURED to make quorum. When the roll
was called the anti-Call men acted as follows
according to the Times Union: "When their
names were called down would 60 the heads
Of the 'antis, and sickly smile would play
over their features" Although only 81 men
voted the clerk announced that quorum of
"a was present. This was undoubtedly
right for there were ffty-four present, a
refusal to respond not making the ants abb
cent. But this is just the proceeding for
which Democrats high and low have con-
demned Mr.. Reed. Let us see what the
Times Union says now about the proceeding.
1t is as follows:
Thus ends one Of the hardest contested sem
aIorlai contests ever known In the history of the
United states, and thus the tactics of the unruly
minority TO thwart the will of the people have
been lad low in the political history of this state
and the wishes OF the element which should al.
ways rule Qhe majority have been spoken in
thunder tones.
Were Call anything but politician of the
cheapest sort it would be interesting to see
what he would do when he gets back to the
Senate and is congratulated for being elected
through the self-same parliamentary pro
cedure that he and they have condemned so
heartily as the "Reed rule"
This is the second recent instance of the
counting of quorum by Democratic legis-
lature. The first case was few weeks ago
in the Texas senate, when the presiding Off
Ger announced that quorum was present by
the rule of God Almighty who had given
him eyes to see the members in their seats.

The Illinois Senate has defeated women
suffrage by vote Of 81 against to 81 for. AS
generally happens the defeat was brought
about by the women themselves, who re.
monstrated in large numbers against the
passage of the measure on the ground that
its tendencies :were soclalistlc. The reason
given is somewhat absurd, but the reason
had probably very much less to do with de.
feating the measure than the fact of opposi.
ton irrespective of its cause.

THE Farmers vidette. !


During the meeting of the Farm
ers' Alliance at Ocala certain per-
sons not connected with that organ
ization circulated document con-
vening all industrial organizations
in conference at Cincinnati next
month. The object of this call was
to perfect national organization
and create a third party. This call is
signed in most instances by persons
not connected with the Farmers
Alliance. The signatures from
Louisiana are those of J. B. La
fargue, L. u. Laurent and l. Miller,
all of them members of the colored
farmers alliance.
We notice a paragraph going the
rounds of the Press connecting the
Associate Editor and Business
Manager of this paper with this
movement. J. B. Lafargue, the
signer, is a colored man of Alexan-
dria. A. d. LAFARGUE is of this
paper, and is no third party man.
The following correction from
our talented confrere of the Baton
Rouge Truth is so clearly and
neatly stated that we append it
here for the purpose of properly
correcting this error.
In an article in last issue, entitled
"The National Union Party" we
were guilty of a grave injustice to
a worthy gentleman, when we GER
tainly had no intention of so being.
In the call for a convention looking
to the formation of third party
we found the name of j. B. La
fargue of Alexandria, La, and
jumped at the conclusion that it
could be no other than the associ-
ate editor of the Vidette, when in
fact j. b Lafargue, as well as the
other two signers, are all colored
men and members of the colored
alliance. We are really sorry for
making such a serious mistake,
which is all the more grevious
when we could have referred to the
heading of the Vidette and dis
covered that the initials of the as
sociate editor we're A. d. and not
j. b. as we had them.
