In recent issue the New York Evening

eating that the North punish the South
for voting almost solidly for Bryan by
declining to make further investments at
the South. The Posts rejoinder Is slight

and historic flavor and IL must be admit

is anything inherently funny in anything
the Post says, but the fun is in the ago
nizing attempt TO be funny Of a paper
that takes itself as seriously as the Post
does.
However, after the Post has made It's

Post is its own serious. solemn self in

Of making it return interest or profit

How Archbishops Are Made.


DR.. Temple. lately Bishop. OF London
was on Wednesday last Elected Arch
bishop Of Canterbury in the Chapter
House at Canterbury. Yet several weeks
before he was appointed to that Office
by the Queen. and it was understood
that her Maiesty's authority was absolute
and final in the patter. The apparent
discrepancy between the two statements
may seem puzzling 10 those not familiar
with English ecclesiastical ways. II Is
merely one Of those formal relics Of
olden times. which are so carefully pre-
served in England and which give so
conservative an air to that really radical
country.
In early times bishops were elected,
laymen as well as the clergy enjoying
the suffrage Then the lay electors were
excluded. and the suffrage was confined
TO the clergy. the sovereign and the
Pope. In Saxon times in England the
sovereign was the sole dispenser Of such
dignities. and such was the case under
William the Conqueror. Under Henry
/. there was a great contest between
King and Church, at the end Of which
the King resigned his power of making
bishops. In Johns reign IL was formally
decreed that every bishop should be
elected by the chapter; the King should
as a matter of form. appoint; but his ap-
pointment was neither necessary nor
binding. Henry VIII exactly reversed
the system. making the royal appoint
ment authoritative and the election by
the chapter merely formal, and the prac-
tlce established by him remains I'M
changed and i'm force to-day.
on the death OF a bishop the dean and
chapter announce the fact to the sOve-
reign. and beg leave 10 elect his success
or The sovereign responds, not only with
such permission. but with a positive COM
mand that they shall elect the person
named In the command. That is the royal
appointment and ii is I'm fact final. The
dean and chapter, after a little time. 90
through the form Of an election. But they
cannot lawfully elect any other person
than the one already appointed. and If
they neglect or IN any way fail 70 elect,
the royal appointment remains perfectly
valid. a court Of confirmation is afterward
held, before which objection to the con-
frmation Of the blshop-elect. may be
made But objections are rarely made
and are still more rarely sustained. In the
present century only three bishops have
been objected 10. one Of them. by the way
being DR.. Temple when he was Bishop
elect Of Exeter in 1869; and in all three
cases the objections were overruled. In the
present instance there will be no conse-
Grafton. since the ArchbishOD-eect has al
ready been consecratcd as a bishop. No
thing remains. therefore, but the ceremony
OF enthronization. and then DR.. Temple
will be practically the supreme authority
Of the Anglican Church.

The Little Arm-C hair.
CNew York Times.)

(NeW York TimeS.)
Nobody sits in the little armchair;
IL stands I'm a corner dim.
But "A white-haired mother gazing there,
And yearningy thinking Of him.
Sees through the dust OF long ago
The bloom of the boys sweet face,
As ne rocks so merrily to and fro.
with laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book in his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate;
And the lesson Is hard TO understand,
The figures TO calculate
But she sees the nod OF the fathers head,
SO proud Of his little son,
And she hears the words so often said,
NO fear fOr our little one"
They were wonderful days. the dear. sweet
days.
When n child with sunny hair
Was here 10 scOld. 10 kiss. and to praise,
At her knee in the little chair.
she lost him back IN her busy years,
When the great world caught the man,
And he strobe away past hopes and fears
To mis- place in the battles van.
Eut now and then in a wistful dream,
Like picture out of date,
She sees a head with golden CLEAN
Bent over a pencil and slate;
And she lives again the happy day,
The day of her young lifes spring,
When the small armchair stood just I'm
the way,
The centre of everything.

a CHANGE NEEDED.

The Providence Or. ID Journal. In dis
cussIng national-bank circulation, says
Il remains TO be proved whether the ma
tional.banking law places the southern
planter at great disadvantage. The Jour-
nal admits, however, that, when the
uses of funds I'm the technical sense OF
the word are considered, the South IS
unfortunate in being 80 far away IRON
the great centres OF national-bank circu-
lation. Say what you will, adds the
Journal II is expensive to obtain funds
to move crops. and. broadly speaking,
one may rest convinced that the farmer
has to pay for the process OF exchange
involved I'm the transaction.
1t strikes us that the Journals admls-
sions afford the very best OF proof that
the MISUNDERSTANDING law, or, rather, the
operation Of the law. works to the dis
advantage Of the southern planter what
the South needs-indeed what the coun-
try needs-is "A change in our banking
system which will obviate the difficult
ties under which all communities except
the large money centres labor, whenever
the uses of funds" I'm the technical sense
Of the word are necessary to move crops
or push business. In short, we need a
system that will give us more currency
more "funds"-and a wider distribution
thereof What Is more. the Repubh-
can party and the great monetary inter
ests that joined forces with that DSrty
I'm the last election would as well make
up their minds that the financial issue
in this country will not be settled until
some such system shall have been devised
and put into operation.

Senator Chandler, OF New Hampshire,
whose views on bimetalism we have
heretofore quoted. thinks that a resolu-
ton should pass Congress providing Tor
a commission TO repre- ent this country i'm
a speedy conference with the other ma
tions, and that "the commission should
be composed Of honorable men who will
not let the matter drop" This resolu-
ton Mr.. Chandler argues, could be
passed and "be ready for Mr.. Mckinley
when he comes into office" And the
Senator concludes:
There is no use of putting the ques-
ton off until next summer or next fall.
The sooner IT is decided 10 do something.
the better. l do not see how there could
be any opposition to this. l do not be-
lieve the silver Republican senators would
oppose this course. They want bimotal-
lsm.
"They do not believe it can be secured
by international agreement. The APP
pontment of this commission would test
the matter Of whether il could be Sc
cured. II would give them the opportu'
nifty they want. on the other hand, If
il is shown that the Republican party
is making a strong effort to carry out
its promises to the people, and should Sc
cure action favorable to silver. it would
be strengthened. and would become more

TRUTHFUL AND REFREsHING.
The Criticism of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra by Two Urchins.

paragraph in the Boston Sunday
Herald says:
Last Friday afternoon two small boys
wandered into the Winter-street corridor
OF Music H9ll. They were anywhere
from TO s years OF age, and that
wholesome type Of youngster that
attracts any one who has heart In
his body. Looking about for a
moment, they at last espled Assistant
Manager Gomez, and at once accosted
him. Say, mister. is the band playing
now?' 1T IS" replied Mr.. Gomez. look
ing the pair over and. greatly taken
by their bright, fresh faces, he added.
would you like TO go In and hear the
musiey' "Oh. yes. sir" they responded
eagerly so the doorkeeper was instruct
ed TO admit them. About five minutes
later Mr.. Gomez met the urchins on heir
way out. "Well. boys" he said plea
sanity. you didn't stay very long"
NO sir. We didn't like it, The naive
response very nearly finished the as
sistant manager. and he is still wondering
what sort OF band the young gentle
men imagined they were going TO hear.
The honesty OF the reply, however, If
absolutely un-Bostonese i'm its criticism OF
the finest orchestra in the country, was
most refreshing,
