There is considerable comment in Epis-
copalian circles in New York over the pub
lication of certain utterances of the Rev.
DIR. Heber Newton in his sermon on Sun
day last. Speaking of the resurrection of
Christ from the dead he said:
Without doubt the general belief is that
there was a physical resurrection-a rising
from the tomb of the very body of flesh
and bones which was laid away there after
the crucifixion. / have held to it's belief as
long as possible, but no superstructure can
forget its foundation, and my reasons for
rejecting this belief 1 propose to tell you.
We know now from our fuller knowledge
of the times of Jesus Christ that the people
and his disciples themselves believed not
only in immortality, but in an actual ply
steal resurrection. | cannot accept the testi-
mony of the disciples. And there is the
fact that no one saw Him in the act of ris-
ing fronl the tomb and passing forth in
the same Identical form of His earthly
body.
This may be tenable ground from a philo-
sophie point of view, but it is not the doc
trine of the Episcopalian Church. DR.. New
ton is probably a candidate for church dis
cipline.

The Local Council of Women acted
wisely in deciding not to offer a candi-
date of it's own this rear for member
ship in the School Board. A large num-
Der of voters in any one of the districts
in which a vacancy will occur would,
no doubt, support a woman candidate,
but, on the other hand. a good many
are not yet educated UP to the merits
of the idea and might antagonize it or
show an Indifference which would be
equally disastrous. The welfare of the
schools depends SO largely upon the
election of candidates opposed to the
ring now in control that it would be
unfortunate if the putting forward of
a woman should prevent this desirable
northumberland for public interests
and for the prospects of the women
in future. The placing Of a woman in
the Office is something of an expert
ment and one that it will be better not
to try until conditions are more favor
able. The local council is to be COM
mended for the good sense of it's de-
cision.

CLEVELAND, o., April 2S.-An opinion
has been handed down by United States
Circuit Judge Taft which decides a IA
nous patent case which has been in court
for a number of years, and which has ex-
cited a great deal of interest. The suit
was brought by Francis Lowry, Executor
of the estate of Grosvenor p. Lowry,
against the Cowles Electric Smelling and
Aluminium company and Alanson T. Os-
born. The defendants claimed that they
had the right of two patents by assign
ment from Charles S.. Bradley for a pro-
cess of separating metals, particularly
aluminium, from their ores by the use of
an electric current both to fuse and cleo
trolyze the ores. They claimed that they
came into possession of the patents by
virtue of O sale to Alanson O. Osborn. who
was said to have assigned the right to
ium Company. The plaintiffs, on the other
hand. claimed that Bradley sold and as
signed the patent right to them, and that
they held letters patent from the Bureau
of Patents in Washington. The Cowles
people also held letters patent, and the
suit was 10 determine which party was
guilty of infringement.
Judge Taft, in a voluminous opinion COW
ering over fifty pages of typewriter mat

and were not entitled to letters of patent.
He granted the piaint-ns a pefa -t.al III
junction restraining the defendants from
using the patent lights and ordered the
letters of patent held by the Cowles COM

to read books explaining the mysteries of
the games. But, except for use In such
pastimes, who would think of cards as
having any Importance? How many would
ever find in them any interest," One wom-
an has done it, however. Lady Charlotte
Schrieber, an Englishwoman, who lately
died. published two folio volumes illustrat-
ing the history of playing cards from re-
sources in her own collection. Even these
volumes did not complete the work. which
was left unfinished at her death. Sir A. w.
Franks. of the British Museum, will take
up the task and prepare the third and last
volume. When finished they will adorn the
shelves of libraries which can afford to buy
everything in the shape of a book. and
will there gather dust, for, though the per-
sons may be found to write such works.
where are they in this hurrying, busy world
who will stop to read them?

There is" he said. somewhat of the

and invention, or in that between a new
article of manufacture which is universally
held to be ~patentable, and the function of q
machine which it is equally clear Is not.
1t may be said in general that processes OF
other similar elemental action are patent
able. though mechanism may be necessary
in application of carrying out of such
process, while those which consist solely
in the operation of a machine are not.
Most processes which have been held to be
patentable require the aid of mechanism
in their practicable application, but where
such mechanism is subsidiary to the
chemical action, the fact that the patentee
may be entitled to a patent on his mechan-
ism does not impair his right to q patent
for the process. since he would lose the
benefit OF his real discovery. which might

June s, 1872, the Secretary of the Treasury
was authorized to receive United States
notes from banks in sums of 10000 or over
and issue certificates therefor in amounts
not less than 5000. Such certificates were
used as a part of the legal reserve of banks
and by clearing houses. The act of Feb.

fully engage in the production of idols for

government were to lend ear to the vehe-

hurled at the heads of the offending foun-
drymen from pulpit, platform and religious

the enactment of a law making the ex-

orders of the kind which have been filled

Vishnu and the Sacred Bull, in India, which
are pouplarly regarded as divine in origin,

The Young Woman's Christian Asso-

twenty-seven of the most prominent
delegates occupied church pulpits there
on Sunday evening. The rules of the
United Presbyterians. Reformed Presby-
tcrians, German Lutherans and Episco-
palians do not permit women to preach
from their pulpits. Nevertheless. these
churches wanted to do the poliff thing
by the Y. w. c. A., SO some of2the con-
gregations had platforms erected in
front of the pulpits, and. standing upon
these. the visiting ladies addressed large
audiences. 1t would, perhaps, hardly dc
to say in this connection that the Pitts
burgers were whipping the devil round

they were enabled to declare that no
woman preached from their pulpits is so
fragile that it will hardly sustain a
good able-bodied Christian. 1t would

FEARS OF THE NEW NATION.

Sir Edwin Arnold, the Oriental scholar
and poet, has warned Great Britain and
the United States to be on their guard
against Japan, which has become one
of the facts of the universe" because
the cheap, 1.-THE incredibly cheap labor"
of the latter. now that it is to become
a great commercial nation, will be
thrown into competition with the high
priced labor of America and England
He is certain hat "the victory of Japan
over China may well make certain En-
glish and American industries tremble."
There can be no question that the
result of the war between japan and
China will be the establishment of a
new nation in the Orient such as there
has not been for hundreds of years. The
era of European dictation to the East
has ended. japan, with it's 40, 900, 900 of
people and it's hold upon China, stimu-
lated by modern ideas, is sure to be one
of the powers which must be consulted
in the years to come when the rulers
of nations hold councils. The leaders
and the people which can establish fac
tories to make modern firearms to take
the place of those with which it's troops
are waging an aggressive war against
a nation with ten times its popula-
ton are not to be ignored in the future.
A people which has shown such enter
prise and courage as has Japan in its
contest with China may be assumed to
have but started on it's path of progress
and power.
If, however. Sir Edwin Arnold were
as much an economist as he is philos-
opher and poet he would not be so
frightened as he is about the destruc-
ton of European and American indus
tries because of the cheap labor of
Japan. Cheap labor, that is, the labor
which Sir Edwin calls incredibly
cheap, cannot carry forward its great
work of civilization Upon which Japan
has entered. Coming in contact with
the better paid labor of the highest
civilization, Japan must abandon a hui
man labor which is so cheap that horses
and mules are dearer than men as
beasts of burden. Even if many of
China's superfluous millions are enlisted
in the competition, forty millions of peo-
pie, taking the place of machinery in
production and of railroads and even
horses in transportation, cannot pro-
duce enough of the general manu-
features of the world to %supplant the
products of skill and machinery in the
rest of the world. Furthermore, the
people of Japan, having once been
touched with the spirit of modern civili-
zation, will demand it's advantages.
They will a more wants, and better
compensation for labor will follow in
time. If the economic policy of Japan
shall be such that the masses n
earn more than 8 or 10 cents a day that
nation will not come to the front as a
competitor in the great industries of the
world. Nc people fed upon a handful
of rice and a bit of fish day after day
can hereafter lead the worlds procession
in civilization and in it's varied indus
tries and enterprises.

Free-Coinage Tactics.
New York Evening Post.

2 TUT IFcIIIl6
The free-coinage men plainly betray their
apprehension that thorough discussion OF
the issue in any State will be fatal to their
cause. The tactics which they have adopted
in Illinois show their conviction that the
only hope of success is in a snap Judgment.
The call for a State convention a few weeks
hence to define the position of the party on
the silver issue was sent out by a minority
Of the State committee, after a meeting
which had not been publicly called. The
faction who thus carried the call for the
convention are now pulling wires in the
various counties to have the primaries
called at a very early day, with the view of
preventing a full consideration of the ques-
tions involved. 1t Is perfectly plain that the
free-coinage men are afraid that they could
not carry the State if opportunity for de-
liberation were afforded, and that they real
ize that their only hope lies in snap eau
cuses and a snap convention. There could
not be better evidence of the essential weak
ness of the silver craze.

the action of the United States would
bring the silver question to the front in
other countries and strengthen the
cause of bimetallism. If each govern
ment waits on some other to take the
initiative nothing will yer be done. The
President could not do a more popular
act than to Immediately open corre-
spondence with other governments on
the subject, and as long as he fails to
do SO the people will suspect that he is
not in favor of the conference.

Sudden and remarkable has been the
agitation in New York because a we'll
known retail book seller has reduced the
price of 'sTrilby." The book seller, who
has thus wrung the withers of other book
sellers and publishers, explains that it is
the action of the bag department stores
which has caused him to take this step;
since they for the sake of Advertisement
sell books at cut rates. Accordingly he has
resolved to andersen them. This is good
logic, but the application thereof is bad. The
department stores sell books in order that
people may buy their silks. If the book
seller really wants to get even he should
sell silks below cost in order that the ladies
may come and buy his books.
