EpiscopaIian independence +.

The Episcopal church of America has
declared its independence. The bishops
from this country at the recent Lam
beth congress without hesitation re-
jected the proposition that the Arch
bishop of Canterbury be made the head
Of the church in all parts of the world
1t is true enough that the Episcopal
church in the United States is de-
scendant of the Church of England, but
it must be remembered that it's relation
to the mother church is the same as
that of the United States to the mother
country. The church here owes its in
s.itution to England just as this nation
country for it's common law.
But during more than IA century of
many differences have arisen. The
Protestant Episcopal church has re-
jocted the proposition to havea primate
of its own choosing as its head, and al
though there is some agitation in favor
which threatens TO he again preached
atsthe triennial conference in October,
1898, ii is doomed to defeat 1t would
be strange, then, that the Episcopalans
unwilling to accept a primate of their
own election, should be willing to sub
nit to the rule of one who would owe
his appointment to the Queen of Eng
land and be absolutely without respon-
sibility to the church in America
There is no analogy in the Roman
Catholic church, for our cardinals have
voice in the election of a pope.
One might as well expect that the
United States itself, having once de-
cbared Independence of England should
agree to accept Queen Victoria as its
temporal ruler, as that an American
church should accept primate of her
choosing

The days are hot and hazy
And lively is the fly.
We feel so awful lazy,
So lifeless and SO dry:
The hammock's never empty.

Are welcome as a chill.
Now flourish countless picnics
Where turks ants and black flies
To tease the dude, white-t rousered,
Who sits in strawberry pies.
And the hum OF the mosquito
Is heard throughout the land.

The Demand On Spain.
lPawfunkaf Times

II is given out in Washington that
Minister Woodford goes to Madrid in
str,icted to demand of the Spanish
Government $1,000 damages for the
death of DR. Ricardo Ruiz, the Cuban
American who was treacherously muir
dered by the Weyler minions in the
Guanabacoa prison. The amount Is
fairly equitable one from a material
standpoint. 1t is $4,000 more than the
Madrid Government offered the widow
of the assassinated dentist.
This will be the first definite fiat from
the United States to the home office Of
the Cuban Butchery Company. 1t IL
the price of one case of SPANS deh-
ance of the American government.
There are MANY others. II is not to be
understood that Spain openly ac-
knowledged her error when she offered
to pay Mrs.. Ruiz $4,000. She offered
the money simply as an effort to evade
furthur complication in the matter. for
she is as well aware as the United
States herself that DIR. Ruiz was foufiy
dealt with. She offers to pay Mrs. Ruiz
the sumo of $4,000 to stop further in
vestigation and also to avoid the hui
initiation of paying indemnity to the
hated Yankee government. This the
United States does not propose to per-.
met. Spain must pay directly to this
government the sum of $4,000 for q
violation of International privilege
otherwise she must be prepared to take
the consequences.
We may expect to hear loud objec-
ton from the Spanish capital. coupled
with a good deal of fiorid language
about Yankee insolence and the death
less pride and invincible courage OF
Spain. All such talk is nonsense and
not worth space rates. 1t is insepara-
