English View of Christian Reunion.-


President Lincoln used to tell this
story: A friend Of his came TO him one
day, saying. "Me and wife have quar-
relied" Indeed, how sop asked Lin
coin. "She wants the house painted red,
I want 1t white" They parted to meet
a fortnight later. "How's your quarrel?"
asked Lincoln. Settled" said his friend.
'And how have you settled it?" Com
promised It," was the answer. well,
how have you compromised it?' THE
house Is to be painted red" Cardinal
Vaughan's reunion" reminds us OF this
sort Of compromise. There can only be
two cases of reunion, so far as doctrine
and authority are concerned; compro-
mise-that Is. federation and mutual re-
cognition--and submission-that Is. indi-
viduai or corporate absorption. The first
IL inconsistent with the divine constitu-
ton Of the Church. There remains only
the second" The Cardinal may consider
that reunion and absorption are the same
thing. But then he proposes to absorb
not TO be absorbed.

failed. In consequence of their failure
hundreds OF men were crowded 10 the
wall and many were ruined.
The Dresbach deal was mere CANT BILE
and failed because instead of depositing
the margins TO secure the sellers those who
engineered the affair spent the money as
quickly as they cOllec' ed il, ard conse-
Quently had not the coin with which to

"As to the claim that the shorts are

caught short in consequence of legitimate

and says nothing. The advances in wheat
in our market are not legitimate, however.
The present prices are inflated. Wheat is
dropping all over the world. Why, there

truth IS that this deal resembles the Dres-
