THE change suggested IN the Home
Rule bill by which the autonomy of Ire.
land is more secure, on the plan Of our
states, is not only wise but nece ssary.
1t is suggested that the local taxes for
local purposes shall be laid and col
lected by Ireland; that one third Of the
revenue from those taxes be paid into
the imperial treasury, but that the Gus.
toms and excise duties remain in the
control Of the imperial government.
That is practically the plan adopted by
our states and-th Federal Government
here, with the exception of the provi-
sion for one third OF the local revenue.
In regard to that the bill recommends
an entire revision after a provisional
term Of six years. With the
diverse interests and the many
theories which have been suggested
there cannot be any practical solutio
better than this. It provides that the
imperial government shall lay, collect,
and keep the customs and excise taxes.
That is necessary for the support of the
imperial government as well as for the
uniformity of the taxes, There can be
no other solution of that matter. The
local taxes for local purposes laid and
collected by local representatives and
agents is certainly the obvious aud
logical solution Of that matter. But, to
correct any friction or error that this
plan may how, it is put ON a trial period
Of six years, with one-third of the
revenue to the imperial government,
after which trial-period a readjustment
may be made in the light Of experience
There will be objections TO these sug-
gestions Of course, but whether they are
objections to the plan or objections to
any plan whatever is a matter of serious
import. One prevents anything from
being accomplished, the other permits
something to be done.

British battle ship "Victorla" and sunk
her with frightful loss Of life. These

Christ never calls this thing secular and that thing religious, but teaches us to "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" that the Father of all may give us sall the good things of life, both here and there. We are to rev. erence the things of religion because they are holy; but the object and end of the means of grace is to make all things holy. Christianity blends the secular with the religious so that, as St Paul says, "Whether ye eat, ,or drink, ,or what soever ye do, do all to the glory of God" True religion puts the spirit of truth and holiness into all the relations and conditions and uses of this life, and makes life here on the earth to be in harmony with the eternal life every where. There is not little pious cant and nonsense about the worldly, as op- posed to the heavenly, but the simple and grand ideal of religion is, that Gods will may be done on the earth as it is in heaven. Religion is the bond of life and love between the Father of all good and it has to do with all the affairs of life, both temporal and spiritual. In Christ there is neither superstition nor quack cry, but the science of Eternal life.-[O. O. Wright

MISS ATWOOD-MR WILLIAMS.
 The marriage of Fred J, Williams and Miss Florence H. Atwood, daughter of Mir and Mrs Wallace H. Atwood, took place at Christ church, Tuesday after noon at l o'clock. The church was ex- ceedingly handsomely decorated with the very choicest potted plants of the season, with large bell of asters, un- der which the ceremony was performed. The local florist, John Evans, did the decorating in the best shape possible. The ceremony was performed by Rev Dr James Stoddard of Cheshire, assisted by Rev pr Nichols, the regular pastor. The bride was attired in a very rich handsome gown of white silk null, trim med with white lace, covered with a pure white veil. She carried bouquet of white roses, with white kid slippers. The maid of honor was Miss Belle Net tleton of Bridgeport, cousin of the bride. She was tastily dressed, with white kid slippers and bouquet of pink roses. James Hungerford was the best uC uSIGI5 W6IC EuSOu b. IAOCh- wood, William Reynolds, Arthur Skill ton and Austin Atwood, a brother of the bride, all of Watertown. The church was well filled with both relatives and friends of the happy couple. AS they left the church, Mendelssohns wedding march pealed forth to the pleasure of all. It was said by all to be the prettiest wed- ding ever witnessed in town before. Mir and Mrs Williams left on the 4.40 train for New York, where they will take the steamer Roanoke, of the Old Dominion line, for Richmond, Va., where they will spend two weeks and visit points of in- terest and visit old battle grounds.
