BISHOP PHILLIPS BROOKS.

Death continues to make havoc
among the public men of this coun-
try, and now Massachusetts mourns
the loss of Bishop Phillips Brooks,
whose demise occurred suddenly on
Monday morning after brief illness
which, beginning with an affection
OF the throat, developed rapidly in
to pneumonia and heart failure, the
end coming painlessly
The death OF this distinguished
divine is serious loss not only to
Massachusetts, but to all New
England and the entire country as
well. OF heroicproportions physical
~, brilliant in intellect, and seeming
ly ureless in activity, DR.. Brooks
was an admirable specimen OF Chris
uan manhood, and a veritable tow
cr Of strength to those with whom
he was directly associated or to
whose aid he was called in the
prosecution of religious work. All
who knew him admired him as a
man and as a representative of a
LIBERAL Christianity.
Phillips Brooks was born Dec. 10.
1885, and at sixteen years of age
entered Harvard College, GRADUATE.
ing in 1855, Entering the Episcopal
ministry, his first work as rector
was done in Philadelphia, and in
] G2 he succeeded to the rectorship
of Holy Trinity church, one of the
wealthieSt aud most important
charges in that city. His labors
there were aggressive and magnetic,
and most fruitful in good results
subsequently DR.. Brooks went to
Boston, where he had since resided

he was the ninth rector Of Trinity
parish, and the fifth rector thereof to
be made bishop, the highest office
in the gift of the Episcopal church;
he was consecrated bishop in 1891.
He never married.
Dr.. Brooks was an interchangeable
worker and his untimeIy death may
be said to be due largely to the
enormous amount Of labor he had
taken upon himself during the past
few years, both in church and college
fields. He was a great preacher and
a genuine philanthropist, and will
be sincerely mourned.

ADVICE FROM ABROAD.

The editor Of the Galignani Mes
senger, published in Paris, who is,
taking his own word for it, AN
American who loves his country"
vouchsafes generous amount OF adj
vice to the incoming administration
in this country, and gives Mr.. Cleve-
land and his yet to be chosen cabinet
several pretty plain hints as to
two directions in which reformatory
measures can be prohtably applied
namely, the consular service and the
management of Indian affairs
Although located in foreign coun-
try, this EDITORS vision is so keen
that he can see deeply into the United
States methods Of dealing with the
red men and can discover much that
needs reforming. He finds that the
Indian has been abused and cheated
ever since the white man stepped
foot on American soil, and he tells
Mr.. Cleveland that if he will put the
management of Indian affairs into
the hands of linen who have some
conception OF personal honor even
in its most documentary stages" he
will do away with much unfavorable |
criticism which exists throughout |
the length aud breadth Of Europe"
But it is to our consular service |
that this foreign critic pays his most
emphatic respects. The manner in
which affairs are now conducted
among these particular representa-
tives of the United States he de-
nounces as "a blot on the national
escutCheon," and he calls on the new
president to erase the blot. Ameri-
cans abroad, he holds, cannot, as
rule, place reliance on, or secure any
protection from our consulS, the lat
ter being too busy with wine, wom-
en- and song" to devote much time
in behalf of American interests. The
present service he characterizes as a
farce.
This is rather sharp criticism, and
let us hope and believe, the picture is
somewhat overdrawn. While the
consular service may afford opportu-
nifty for negligence of national inter
ests on the part of appointees and
while there may be ample room for
Improvement in that line, the people
OF the United States will be slow to
believe that SO disgraceful a state of
things exists as is painted by Galig-
nani's editor.
As to Indian affairs, no one will
claim that perfect system has yet
been reached, but the record in that
branch of government for lew years
past would seem to show some i'm
provement in the methods of dealing
with our Indian wards.
Galignani's criticism is of course
well meant even it too severe; and to
that extent the american who loves
his country" will be given credit.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland will heed the
Jealous exhortation "to ply his axe
vigorously and remorselessly in
these two directions, remains to be
seen.

Low Water Makes Pulp Scarce.
There is an unusual demand for
wood pulp for paper making, from
all localities. The cold dry weather
has caused small streams in New
England to nearly dry up, leaving
no power for grinding. Bellows
Falls manufacturers usually sell
large amounts, besides what is used
there. The Connecticut river is lower
now than for years, causing an in
ability to run over half the pulp
mills at one time. Not enough pulp
is being made for local use, and con-
siderable more expensive stock is
used, which has already caused a
large loss in the manufacture of
paper.
A Fatal Railroad Accident.
A wreck occurred on Monday, on
the Bennington and Rutland road,
in the yard at Rutland, by which

best of our nations great rulers. as
he was a brave and skiful officer and
one OF the truest and most loyal and
lovable of men,"

The name of Justice l.. Q. c. La,
mar, who was United States senator
from Mississippi from 1877 to 1888.
and who was appointed to the su-
preme court bench by President
Cleveland, must be added to the
death roll of 1893. His life work
ended suddenly at Macon. Ca, on
Monday last. The decease of this
prominent representative of the
Southern wing of the democracy
creates vacancy in the judiciary
branch OF the government which it
will devolve upon President Harrison

American policy the New York Her,
aid says:
Leo XIII proposes that the American
section OF the Catholic church shall be in
accord with American principles and as

old and inhrm, but neither has age
dimmed the brightness of his mind nor
nhrmlty married the breadth of his
policy.

A VERMONTER HONORED.

Frank c. Partridge OF Vermont
has been honored by being appoint
ed United States minister to Venez
uela. Mr.. Partridge is a native OF
Middlebury, graduate of Amherst
College and Columbia Law school
and has had brilliant public career
for man only 80 years old. He be-
gan his Washington life as private
secretary to Secretary Proctor, and
remained in that position until about
two years ago, when he was APP
pointed solicitor OF the department
of state to succeed the late Walker
Blaine. In that capacity he devel-
oped a marked aptitude for the clear
and thorough exposition of the in
tricaces of international law, and
particularly OF that branch apper-
tanning to extradition. He will
make good diplomat and his St.
Johnsbury friends congratulate Mr..
Partridge on his appointment.
In his official proclamation an
nouncing the death OF Rutherford B.
Hayes, President Harrison pays this
manly tribute to the memory of his
predecessor in the nations highest
office
"Iie was patriotic citizen, a lover of
the flag and ofour free institutions, an in
dustrious and conscientious civil officer
a soldier of dauntless courage, loyal
comrade and friend, a sympathetic and
helpful neighbor, and the honored head
Of happy Christian home. He has
steadily grown i'll the public esteem, and
the impartial historian will not fail to
recognize the conscicntiousness, the man
iness and the courage that so charac-
-erized his whole public career"
The above is in marked contrast
10 the disgracetul utterances of demo-
ratio members of the Ohio state SEN
ate, during discussion over mo-
ion to adjourn that body as mark |
IF respect to the deceased states
nan. One senator said "He was
never chosen president of the United
States by the people," and another:
Mr.. Hayes had been forgotten, and
MS death is merely revival of the
act that he ever existed" Fortu-
1ately, such comments stand only |
or intense partisan bitterness, which
must indeed be firmly rooted not to
Yield in the presence of death.
