Greeting to the Churc Inn en-.
n the Washington. D. c.. Church Militant.

From the Washington, D. c., Church Militant.
1he last meeting Of the general conyen-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the nineteenth century VIII be also its first
meeting III the capital of the United States.
Its members will receive cordial and
hearty greeting from the churchurcn of
Washington. We regret that they will ar
rive at a period when Congress Is not in
session, and when many OF our prominent
citizens Will not have returned to the city
from their Summer vacation to welcome
our distinguished guests. and extend to
item the genial hospitality OF their homes
but this regret is tempered by the Thought
that In Washington October Is one of the
NEST beautiful months of the whole year;
when, amid the cool breeZes of autumn
the streets still retain the garden-like as
pect OF their summer Verdure. The COM
ing convention meets in one of the most
eNentful and historic years of the century
and If 1t rises to the Importance of the
questions that are to come before 1t, it Will
Undoubtedly leave an historic memory of
its own behind.

A Song,

Let by-gones be by-gones'-the wind as it
strays,
No trace CT the summers rude humor be-
trays.
The leaf as it smiles from the autumn
kissed tree
For beauty strives on, though the blossoms
may flee.
And, though in its turn to the dust it may
60,
The branch will be brave in garland of
snow.
The sun as he travels ne'er pauses to cast
a glance of regret on the ways that are
past;
On yesterdays gloom he ne'er squanders a
ray;
His light shines alone for the journey to-
day.
The hour that has vanished is not worth
a care.
Let by-gones be by-gones." The future is
fair

natural center and field for effort The
local and national phases of this endeavor
of the EpisCopalians of Washington are not
easily separable The church as a whole
is necessarily concerned in the enterprise
which promises to give it a representation
on a national basis at the seat of govern
ment, where already are ample evidences
of the new spirit along the same line in
other fields.
The convention now in session, therefore,
is of exceptional Importance to the capital
city, not alone as regards the Immediate
benefits of the session, but as the charac-
ter of Washington as the nations city and
the national center Is emphasized and i'm
pressed upon the national representatives
of the church. The cathedral project,
which is largely dependent for success upon
the aid received from beyond the bound
aries of the diocese, is certain to be ad-
vanced, for from their personal observa-
tions the delegates to the convention, both
clericals and laymen, are sure to be i'm
pressed with the desirability of giving the
church a representation in the growing
community of national religious establish
ments
When this cathedral foundation has be-
come fact. with It's buildings designed
upon an appropriate scale of magnificence,
thus symbolizing in architecture the pur-
poses of the organization creating it, Wash
ington will have won new honor an addi-
uOnal right to the title of the national
city, having then in evidence signs of
the steadfast drift hither of the nations
thought in education. in religion. in lofty
moral purpose, as well in governmental
endeavor. The church endowing the estab-
lishment. too, will have received the benefit
of central place in the rapidly enlarging
sphere of influence emanating from the ma
tion's city.

Beaten Once for All,
From the Philadelphia Press

Democrats in states like Massachusetts,
where they are certain to be beaten and in
southern states, where they are certain to
win, adopt the Chicago platform. In New
York and other states where democratic
conventions imagine that the party has a
chance to win something the free silver
plank is carefully avoided. But whether
democrats adopt reject or are silent over
free silver, the people are against it, and
1t is beaten once for all.

From the Syracuse Herald.

From the Syracuse Herald
Il is true that Platt quickly recognized
the merit of Roosevelt's candidacy and
adopted 1t as his own. But this saeacious
movement on the part of the boss does not
alter the vital consideration that Roose-
welt is distinctly an unfettered and an un-
muzzied candidate, that he is no mans

NEW YORK srocK EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, Aug. e3.-There was
nothing in the general situation in the
political or the business world to ac-
count for the reaction in stocks today.
The market was simply o~verbought,
and was subjected to a process of test
ing. which. whether designed to 10 SC
or not, inevitably read just prices to
the true basis of value Yesterdays
heavy profit taking on the part of some
of the powerful interests, who had
been buying stocks in the confidence
that they would advance in price. led
the way naturally to today's move
ment. 1t became evident at the open
ing that the strong support for the
leaders had been withdrawn. In the
ranger even the outside buying,
which has so eagerly absorbed these
stocks for some time past showed 4
marked diminition. There were selling
orders in the commission houses for
outside account. thus showing a large
part of h recent public interest has
been for speculative count. But the
outside speculative public failed to
show the aggressive confidence in their
holdings recently manifested by the
powerful bull clique. Neither had they
the combined resources at their COM
mand to come in and support stocks on
the declining market.
