Contentment, even without godliness, is
some gain. A prisoner in . Colorado
prison liked his quarters 80 well that when
his time, less Communication for good be-
havior, was up he begged to be allowed to
remain. His request being refused, he
raised the point that he did not have TO
accept the months rebate for good be-
havior unless he wishsd to. As he did not
want to accept the Communication, he held
that they could not put him out of jail le.

Moreton Frewen, the English bimstsllist,
now in New York, points out that the
great depreciation of the currenciss of sil-
ver-using nationsis cutting into England's
exports. These nations, numbering 700.-
000, 900 people, have been among Enalsnd's
best customers, but the fall In silver has
made It 20 costly to trade with England
that business has fallen of greatly, and IL
is this, says Mr.. Proven, which t'since
last July, has converted London by whole
sale to bi-metallism, grudgingly and un-
willingly, admit, but the conversion is
there and as the result of nine months

As was predicted by the federal author
titles, the San Francisco Chinese are olsm-
oring for an extension of time beyond May
in which to register under the McCreary
act. Applications have materially fallen
off of late, and there are probably 1000
Chinese In San Francisco who have not yet
registered. This phase of affairs was lit
tie puzzling ct frst, but It soon came out
that the Chinese were making all kinds of
excuses for their bsckwardness. such %,
that they had to wait too long In line to
make out their applications, and had visit
ed the bureaus repeatedly without being
able to secure certificates. It Is now raid

Chinese consul-general to use his influence
to secure an extension of the allotted time.
Two or three months more would be suffi-
cient, they say. 1t Is charged that this
agitation is simply cover for the schemes
of the Six Companies, which are interested
In bringing fresh cargoes of Chinese to this
country and aiding them to come In as old

"Whether the Roman Church In Amer
lea is yet ripe for revolt and reformation,
we cannot eay," remarks the New York
Churchman (P. E.. GAS Archbishop Cor
rigan can scarcely conceal bis dislike to the
opposition of an italian monsignor thwsrt-
Ing him in his own diocese, and as an
American archbishop who knows the bis
tory of the sub apostolic church must feel
his own spiritual Independence of an Isal-
ian bishop, We should not be surprised If
he stood to his guns, and became an instru-
ment In bringing about an eventual deolar-
alton of ecclesiastical Independence for the
Roman Church In these United States. 1t
is quite impossible for the bishop of Rome
to continue forever the bishop also of
New York and of the whole Union.
Whether ecclesiastical autonomy come
soon or late to the American members Of
the Latin communion, 1t must come at
last. The present attitude of the arch
bishop of New York, If maintained and
supported throughout the ecclesiastical
body to which he belongs. is just the very
course which will result to America In the
same contamination which the interference
of other pspal legstes brought to pass In
England"
