THE Protestant Episcopal Church
finds it has a good share Of work to do
with reference to the new accessions.
First comes the missionary diocese Of
Hawaii, which has heretofore been
under English jurisdiction, but now
must be transferred to that Of this
country. Then, something must be
done for Porto Rico, Cuba, and the
Philippines. This accentuates the de-
mand Of the strong party which insists
that the name Of the Church should be
changed TO something more broad and
comprehensive. They want adopted
the name "The Church in America, :"
which viii place it on the same plane
as the Greek Church, the Roman
Church, and other branches Of the Holy
Catholic Church. They still further
urge in support Of this that there is a
strong call for the development of the
Church in the countries of South
America, particularly in Brazil,
which will be promoted by the
adoption of such general designation
rs the Church in America" bat is
hindered by the present name of "The
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States of America" The mat
ter will come up for earnest discussion
in the Triennial Convention, now in
session in Washington.

THE New Haven Comm Union is
one of the papers that is always trying
to find something to allege against the
pension system In a recent issue it
says editorially:
The suspicion that the Pension Bureau is
run as a political machine is strengthened by
the decisions given out by the officials from
time to time. whereby doubtful claims, even
in contravention Of law, are allowed.
Every deserving soldier should have his
claim recognized, but when devices are re-
sorted 10 which result in placing thousands
Of names on the list that have no right there
it is time for investigation. When by the
bidding for the soldier vote, deserters and
camp followers are placed Oh the list, while
many just claims are refused for political
reasons. the deserving soldier will suffer.
This is absolutely and wilfully I'M
true. There are no claims allowed in
"eontravention of law" The trouble
is that the intent and purpose Of the
law are not carried out, and men are
denied pensions on unjust technicalities
and rulings who are clearly entitled to
them under the law. No deserter /"
can get pension. That is an absurd
lie, gotten up by the pension-haters, and
often shown to be a lie, but stuck to by
them all the same.

LAST week the French navy gave an
exhibition of gunnery which shows
"the men behind the guns " to be pretty
fair matches for the Spaniards. A
wooden vessel was anchored off the
harbor of Toulon, and six warships
fired $50 shots at her before setting her
on fire and sinking her. Dewey would
scarcely allow such gunners as that to
heave coal on his ships.

WAR-WAILINGS.

IDere is something exceedingly un'
manly and un-American in much OF
this belly-aching about the war. War
is terrible. 1t cannot be anything else
Whoever goes to war must expect to
encounter hardships of no ordinary
kind, and great dangers. 1t is the
pride of manhood that this is under
stood and bravely encountered. There
would not be any credit about enlisting
if men expected to sleep on spring
mattresses, and have coffee and an egg
served them before they rose.
1t is the glory of the veterans of the
war of the rebellion that when they en-
listed they knew that they had to sacri-
fee everything that they hitherto ac-
counted among their necessary comforts
of life, that they must march directly
into the presence of the enemy, live on
the scantiest and coarsest of food, fire.
qucntly be without even that, toll end
lessly through the mud and rain, the
sleet of Winter and the parching suns
of Summer, to meet fierce and de-
termined foe, and conquer him by en-
during more than he, by outmarching
and outfighting him. Any one of them
would now look back upon three months
spent in such camps as those at Alger,
Chickamauga, Jacksonville, ETC., as I'M
expectedly pleasant parts of their ex-
perience. They would be Ravens of
peace, quietness, rest and recuperation.
Think what good times the war-worn,
foot-sore veterans of Gettysburg had at
Culpeper after the army settled down
there for the Winter; what pleasant
times those of Chickamauga, Missionary
Ridge and Nicksburg had at Chatta-
nooga after the cracker line " was put
in good working order, and they got all
the bareback, pork and coffee they
wanted.
The main trouble is that many Of
the volunteers have been in the army
just long enough TO get the novelty of
camp-life worn off and become home
sick, and not long enough to settle
squarely down to soldering, and get all
the comfort possible out Of it. Then,
the yellow papers have started their
screech and made them believe they
we're martyrs. If these same boys
could be kept in another three months
they would become as fine soldiers as
the world could show-soldiers who
would take the passing ills of the camp
and the march with quip and jest,
and Jolly" the winners into silence.
The worst feature Of the present ex-
hibition is in the light that it represents
our manhood abroad We have been
so proud of our volunteers and their &C
complishments that it hurts our Ma
tional pride terribly to have all this
clamor raised about the hardships" of
Summer camps in the pleasant Pied
mont region of the South.

THE VICTORY AT oMDURMAN.

| HE tlCIOhH Al OMDChMAN.
To understand the Importance of the
victory of the British forces at Omdur
man it must be remembered that thirC
of century ago, Ismail l., Khedive o
Egypt, and grandfather of the present
Khedive, had Napoleonic dreams o
empire, to be formed out of the Sudan
the great, rich strip of Africa lying
south of the Desert of Sahara. Thi:
touches Egypt at its southern border
Khartoum-where the White Nile and
the Blue Nile unite to form the Nile
proper. The Khedive sent the army
which the American officers had organ
lied and drilled for him into this
country, and reduced large portion OF
it to more or less complete subsection, so
that he organized it into " Provinces"
with a complete outfit of tax-gatherers
and other officials. Then came that re-
markable uprising of the inhabitants OF
the country, led by the Mahdi who
claimed to be Messiah. The Egyptian
troops were swept out of the Sudan,
frequently massacred by thousands,
and the officials murdered. In short
time about all that was left of the
Khedive's Sudan Empire was the town
of Khartoum. In the meantime the
Khedive had become bankrupt, and the
English and French took possession OF
Egypt to administer it for the bond
holders-the French afterward with
drawing. There was strong division OF
opinion among the English as to how
| much of the Sudan should be kept, il
any. The famous "Chinese Gordon
was sent to Khartoum, and held ii
splendidly for awhile. But timidity
and indecision marked the English
policy, no reinforcements were sent
him, and the Mahdists, or " Dervishes, y
as they are now called, finally took
the town, and murdered him. This
became a subject Of most acrimo-
NOUS political discussion in England.
OF late years England, feeling more
secure in her possession of Egypt,
has cast longing eyes toward the Sudan.
The French have done the same from
their African possessions on the east
and west coasts Of Africa, both of which
border on the Sudan. The result has
been the Anglo7Egyptian -" expedition
led from the head Of navigation on the
Nile across the desert by Sir Herbert
Kitchener, which met the Dervishes in
their greatest strength at Omdurman,
and inflicted a most crushing defeat
upon them. The reports state
that 10000 Dervishes were actually
killed. This completely breaks the
power Of that great religious uprising,
and gives over into the full pos
session of the British tract of rich
country containing nearly 100000
square miles, or about third as much
as the United States, and about 10000
600 people. The French, at the same
time, advanced smaller force into the
same region, for the purpose Of observ-
ing the British movements The two
white forces are now near together, and
consequently the situation is very tense.
The British are in no mood to have q
part of the fruits Of their victory
snatched away from them. The French
are as little inclined to concede the
very best part of Africa to the British,
and to Withdraw their force now will
look like another backdown before Eng
land, the memories of too many which
rankle in French minds
