Owing to tiie rapid growth u the church
much more work viii have to b. done
duril : this years session than has been
accom- Iiaisod by any previous conven-
ton. Since 1880 the population CT the
United States has Increased about five
fold, bat she co-alIngin ieaats Of tho
church are now Is times as numerous
as then Among the most import ant
things to be considered are the requests
preferred from the dioeoses Of California
ai3d Minnesota for G division in each
case, and while there S little doubt
that these requests will be granted,
since the demands are almost pnani-
nous, much legislation thereon will be
necessary. Another matter to come be-
fore the convention, which will I'M
dOubtedly excite great interest, is the
proposed revision CT the constitution
and canons of the church. A committee
has long been at work upon this sub
ject, and its report is alreSdy III the
hands of the members of the convention
and many others. 1t is paper Of ex-
ceeding brilliaucy and ability, but
there is an apparent desire III some

oppose its adoption say it enlarges the
power Of the bishops more thar is we'll,
and that for several other reasons it is
not desirable. At this time it is irnpos-
sible TO predict what will be done with
it, bat it is certain that it Will lead to
serious and Interesting debate.
The general convention of the Episco-
pal church is always a most impressive
body. It is divided into two houses, one
of which is composed of the bishops and
called the house Of bishops aud the 9TH
er of 1ayrRen and lesser clergymen,
termed the house of delegates. A law to
pass must have a majority of both
houses, thus insuring deliberate action
and preventing i'll advised decisions.
The secretary Of the house Of bishops is
the Rev. DR.. Hart and the secretary of
the house Of deputies is the Rev. Dr.
Hutchins. The Episcopal church in
America has about 5000 parishes and
missions and clergy list of 1860. 1t
is proposed 70 extend its missionary
work in many directions, and three
years ago a number of new missionary
bishops were appointed. Doubtless their
reports On missionary work will be
among the most important documents

John n artin as saying that ne does not
think the Democrats should GO into the
next campaign with any such misleading
platform as that of 1899 On the silver
question. The Star then purposely pro-
ceeds to plan an interpretation of Mr..
Martins remarks, which was obviously
never intended. 1t makes his words the
basis of an argument on the relation of
honesty and dishonesty of various kinds
of money. Judge Martin clearly had no
reference 20 any question of that kind.
What he is insisting upon is the adoption
of platform that means what it says,
and ssys what it means, and that needs
no Interpretation. That is being honest.
A platform may declare for the diehon-
est gold standard and yet be an honest
platform. The people will demand hon-
est platforms from all parties next year.
They are tired of being deceived aud

that those who oppose the restoration of
silver to its former place in tho coinage
favor the single gold standard and the
fact cannot De obscured by any adroitly

still lives. This was in 1859, and there
were then 81 parishes with less than 600

Travelled 81. coo miles in the discharge of

When the Indians uprose in 1862 and
massacred the whites. the bishop, at i'm
minent danger to himself, visited the
scene of carnage and bound up the
wounds Of the injured. He speaks with
pride Of the fact that not one Christian
Indian joined in the bloody work Of that
awful year, and adds that it was to the
