Several Addresses Made bv Bishops Upon
the Subject of Missions.
BALTIMORE Oct. 1.-THE Protestant Epis-
copal convention to-day resumed the revis-
ion of the prayer book. After some time
they laid the matter aside to listen to the
central missionary board. Several mis-
~sionary addresses were then read, the first
from Bishop Nichols, describing missions
on the Pacific coast. He said when he first
went there he expected to find nothing but
peopl stepped in vice and sin, but was
glad to find the young men of the west had
not forgotten their God. By unanimous
consent of the house the bishop of Kentucky
offer ed a resolution to give the several mis-
sionaries supreme power in their dioceses.
This was carried. The missionary address
by Bishop Garrett requested young men to
leave their homes and come with him, to
preach tie word of God in Texas. Bishop
Talbot, of Idaho II Wyoming, also spoke.
At the afternoon session missionary ad-
dresses were resumed. Bishop Whipple, of
Minnesota, spoke at length Of his work
among the Indians. Bishop Whitaker, of
Pennsylvania. gave his views on wo k
among the blacks, and the Importance of
enlisting more missionaries in the conduct
of the woy K, 80 we'll organized. He con
clnded by reading a note from an African
Indian chief to the archbishop of Canter-
bury. 1t was: "Mr. Archbishop-Send US
more gospel and less rum" The bishop of
South Dakota delivered an address tonight
npon his visit to China and Japan.

The New York Herald, in summing
up the political situation. says:
Before the Mckinley law was passed
the party of protection scored n plural
ity of $4,000 in Michigan, $4,000 in Hi
nois, $1,000 in Iowa, $1,000 in Nebraska
and l1,000 in Wisconsin. After it was
passed these states went democratic by
plurallties ranging from 1000 to $4,000.
"Before it was passed the republican
plurality in Kansas was $4,000 and in
Minnesota $4,000. After it was passed
the plurality in the former state was
1900 and in the latter less than 5000.
Before 1t was passed Massachusetts
gave Harrison 10000 plurality. After it
was passed that state elected a demo
cratic governor by 5000 plurality.
"In line with these results are the re,
election Of Gov. Boies in Iowa and Gov
Russell in Massachusetts and the great
plurality of Gov. Flower it this state
last year-to say nothing Of the repub-
lican losses at the recent elections il
Maine and Vermont"
All very true, and it is also true that
there is no indication that the voters OF
the country have concluded they were
mistaken i'll 1890. On the contrary
there are many evidences that thou
sands of republicans who stood by thei,
ticket two years ago will vote for Cleve
land and tariff reform.

pie financial endowment. In the other
western states new colleges ARE apringing
into being yearly, II not oftener, and In
number al loast that section will soon out
strip the east.
1t may be said, however, that muitiplioa-
tion of colleges does not necessarily guar
antee superiority In the direction of useful
education. The west has not ignored this
consideration. 1t builds its foundations
broad and deep. Its first care ID for the
public free schools, and il can proudly
point to an unsurpassed system. 1t 10 the
boast of many western states hat one can-
not travel more than a mile or two in any
one Of the settled districta without finding
a schoolhouse. while in the cities the large,
we'll equipped and handsome school build
ings invariably attract the attention of Wis
itors, and are shown by residents as tho
best and most hopeful local features. The
teaching Of the masses must be done in the
public schools, and the west shows its ap-
probation of this by giving the masses the
best possible public school training.

Troy IN. " Times: Most of the colleges
Of the country are open, or about to open.
for the new year. 1t is significant of the
prevalence of a desire for education that
almost without exception they report large
freshman classes. OF the colleges which
have made statements, the figures run
sixty at Bowdoin to $50 at Harvard. Cor
nell and Yale have not been heard from
specifically, but it ia known that they are
up to the average. if not beyond it. The
same condition of things exists in the west,
and special interest attaches to college
work there owing to the opening of new
and large Institutions. We quote from the
Philadelphia Press;
The colleges and universities in the
western states wee never 80 we'll equipped

about the new Chicago university, which

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-The American board
of commissioners for foreign missicLs re-
convened this morning. The tellers re-
ported the election OF the entire ticket OF
officers voted on last night. Then the bat
tie between the conservatives and liberals
began. Rev. DR.. Storrs, who had been
elected president, arose and said he was
unwilling to accept the position until the
board had defined its position on the terms
under which missionaries would be sent
abroad. Acting under rules made at the
meetings at New York and Minneapolis,
the board had felt that it was not justified
in sending out young men to teach the
heather the doctrine of probation after
death. He was willing to interpret the
rules literally and commission men who
would say that they knew nothing as to
post-mortem salvation, leaving the ques-
presidency If the board was to allow mis-
sionaries to teach that kind of salvation
afirmatively.
A resolution was introduced reaffirming
the New York and Minneapolis rules, lib
orally applied. Prof. Smythe, of Ando-
yer, leader of the liberals, declared that the
rules had not been literally interpreted.
for the ministry had been excluded from
missionary work. The standard of work
had been steadily lowered for years. The
matter was further discussed at length by
Joseph Cook and DR.. Web, of the oonserv-
atives, and DIR. Quint and DR.. Washington
GLADDEN.. of the liberals, and others.
The resolution was finally adopted, and
some further important business the board
adjourned.

II the people of this state, when
called upon in 1889 to decide whether
they would ratify the new constitution
or not, had rejected that instrument and
decided to remain in a territorial o n
dition, they would not have been guilty
of a greater act of folly than they will
be this veal if they decide net to select
a permanent capital for two years more,
and that they will not accept from the
general government 100000 acres of land
set apart by the United States for the
benefit of various state institutions. 1t
is now as certain as anything can be
that Helena and Anaconda will lead IN
the capital race. There is not the
slightest possibility that Boulder, Boze-
man, Butte, Deer Lodge or Great Falls
will get within thousands of votes of
even second place. A vote for any of
these places is simply a vote to postpone
for two years any settlement of the
question and after all the delay the con-
test will then come between Helena and
Anaconda. Voters who study the stu
alton carefully will discover this to be
the true status of the contest. Why
not decide between the two leaders in
the race this year instead of two years
hence?

LIKE their brethren in Lewis and
Clarke the democrats Of old Madison
have Nominated a splendid legislative
and county ticket, Two years ago Mad
ison gave a small majority for Dixon
and elected Buford to the senate. This
year they will repeat tho success of 1890
and make the majorities greater for the
whole ticket. In some of tho counties
of the state the democrats have de-
pended too much on Silver Bow, Deer
Lodge and other populous counties, and
have done little at home. The demo-
Gratis of Madison are not Of this class.
They believe II democratic vote counts
one, wherever it is cast, and they are
working along that line very etfectually.

The situation in New York daily grows
brighter for democracy. In SO great a
state, having within its borders more
than a million voters, the early stages OF
every campaign are passed in adjusting
party differences and c!ashing interests.
With tho democrats in New York this
trying period is over. From Buffalo to
Montauk Point the party is now work
ing in complete harmony. There is not
"a bolter or a refractory leader to cause
uneasiness. Our advices are that for
the past few days there has been a
marked change in sentiment in Mr..
Cleveland's favor, and there is no doubt
that he will get a large part Of the re-
publican business vote. There has been
a great change, too, among the republi-
can farmers and hundreds Of them are
going over to democracy on account of
the Mckinley tariff, which has brought
to them none of the benefits that were
promised, and only increased burdens.
The empire state is ali right.

THE RHODE ISLAND ELECTION

The result in Rhode Island yester-
day was in favor of the Republicans.
They will have majority on joint
ballot in the legislature, which will
insure the return of Senator Aldrich
to the United States Senate, and also
the election of the Republican State
officers as there was no choice by the
people, it requiring majority vote to
elect in that State.
Never have the Democrats made a
more determined fight to secure pos
session Of the state than in the cam
paign just closed. 1t would have been
quite feather for Democracy had it
been able to have carried the State.
Under those circumstances the lead
ers of that party could go before the
people and state that a State which
had received as much or more benefit
from the protective policy than any
other State in the Union, had repu-
dated it, for the campaign was fought
out on the tariff issue.
But it was not to be. The free
traders have again been worsted, and
