Scarcely day passes without news of
some act Of persecution threa ened or per-
petrated by ruscaIs who cali themselves
White Caps When that appellation came
into use few years ago timid persons
imagined that a secret order of cutthroats
and marauders had been organized all
over the country sort of American Malta
which held life cheap and revenge dear
But no proof exists to Justify such an APP
prehension, though outrages ascribed to
White Caps seem to be growing more
common. The truth probably is that the
name has caught the fancy of miscellan-
eous ruttians and is used 10y them as a con-
venlent means of inspiring terror and es-
Gaping detection. That the numberless
gangs ef Iawless scoGndrels who sign their
DEGREES after that fashion and execute
them under that guise have any conection
with one another or obey any central au-
thority, SO far from being established is
not even credible. This being the case,
proposed victims may advantageously and
without added danger show more courage
and Independence hereafter than have gen
orally been displayed hereto Many man
has suffered himself to be scared by a
warming and atterward maltreated with
out much resistance because he had i'm
agiued that secret order of desperate
men was sworn to carry out whatever its
members might decree. Occasionally
somebody has taken advantage of warn
ing to make suitable preparations for re-
sistance, and has given his assaiants a
warmer welcome than they bargained for.
Il has seldom happened n.such cases that
the man of pluck was finally worsted. The
White Cap business would soon be played
out if everybody who received notice that
he is disliked should do his fair share of
| determination.

morning. He was unconscious for several
hours before his death.
Bishop Cyrus Frederick Knight, who

became rector of st. James parish a,
Hartford, Conn, where he remained until

Pa, as rector of prominent church. 1t
was while he was located at Lancaster

connection with the place of bishop of this
diocese to succeed the late Bishop

test and the generation of considerable
feeling between the So.caled high and low
church factions, he was elected Dec. Is,
