There's one sign of war that
never fails. When the great
American mule gets in motion the
fighting is bound to begin. As
long as he is allowed to roam the
broad prairie in unbridled free
dom there is hope for peace, but
the moment he is lariated and put
into harness we know that the in
carnate friends of sanguinary
strife are to be let loose. The
news that England has closed her
New Orleans options and that
thousands of mules are going
abroad the transports at the Cres-
cent City wharves dissipates the
last hope that Dom Paul and
Johnny Bull will be able to smooth
the wrinkled front Of their con-
trOyersy.

Though as a general rule quite
and moderate of tongue, Admiral
Dewey can on occasion show init
mate acquaintance with the sultry
language often heard on board
ship. Then, again, he has been
known to restrain himself under
great prOvocation. While cruis-
ing in the Mediterranean some
fourteen years ago on the Pensa-
cola, of which he was then cap
tain. a white squaIl struck the
vessel. Some sailors bungleG
their work in such a way as nearly
to cause the loss of a spar. They
expected to hear something sui
phurous when they reached the
deck, but Captain Dewey only
said to his next in command;
"Will you kindly tell me what
was the matter Just now with tie
agricultural population on tie
main tOpsail yard?' Needless to
say the sailors would have much
preferred the most vigorous cuss-
ing to being thus dcl:cately ciassed
as farmers.-Cmcago Chronicle.

BIG QUARANTINE FRAUD.

Among the grandest FRAUDS
now existing in the United States
Is the Rigolets quarantine, which
/ for seven months in the year, rob
the Mississippi vessels out of
thousands of dollars. This sta
ton is situated near the mouth of
the Rigolets, and by right should
0c termed Pirate Station, '
harges each and every vessel
hat passes through this stream
from one to two dollars ac-
cOrding to size. The stream
is used only by vessels haIllng
from our coast and inland towns,
nine-tenths of which have never
had a case of yellow fever in their
midst. and the idea of a yellow
fever-breeding city like New Or
leans pretending to be afraid of
vessels halling from the pine reg
ions is simply ridiculous, and we
all know that this quarantine sta
ton is not being operated for this
purpose alone: it is simply here in
order to compel the Mississippians
to help keep up one of the grand
est frauds that was ever operated
by ra>cally machinery. No ex-
animation of the vessels or their
crews are made By the physician
in-chargc. who simply rows aIong-
side each vessel and demands his
fee IN return for which he gives
the captain permit to proceed to
New Orleans. After the vessel
arrives at her wharf naturally one
would expect representative
from the Louisiana Board of
Health to come aboard and call
for the vessels permit, but this
never happens; but woe unto the
poor devil that attempts to pass
through without allowing these
pirates the privilege of holding
him up. His vessel hardly has

ARCHDEACON FSRRAR.
The Great Leader of Liberal Thought
in the English Church.

Were Rev. Theodore w. Farrar, d. D..
archdeacon of Westminster. London. an
American, he would surely be at the front
in the controversy now going on among the
Episcopalians of the United States over the
published beliefs of DR.. Briggs. 1t is GER
tain, also, that the archdcacon would favor
the liberal side of the discussion. for 1t has
long been known that he is one of the most
l-~eral-minded ecclesiastics in all England.
Moreover. certain passages in his book on
the Bible, published in 1897, are 50 like the
utterances of Dr. Briggs that they might
easily be mistaken for his.
1T is because | deeply reverence the
Bible, and because l absolutely accept the
Word of God which 1t contains" says the
arChdeacon in this book that ! refuse to
be guilty of the blasphemy of confusing the
words of men with the Word of God or the
differences of ignorant teachers with the
messages of God" Further along he dis
cusses Joshua Qor whom he thinks the sun
did not stand slid. of Jonah Cwho was
swallowed by no fish. in his opinon), and
other miracles, the truth of which he can
not accept, although described in the Bible
But, like DR.. Briggs, Archdeacon arrar
believes in the incarnation, the resurrection
and the ascension.
Born In Bombay. the son of an English
missionary to India. Archdeacon Farrar is
now siXty-eight. and mis- hair and whiSkers
are almost snow white. But his eye is still
bright, his face stiil shows the flush of
health, and his voice is still firm. and full.

He Is a tremendous worker. The parish
toner's of Westminster are very numerous,
and ii would be impossible for any one TO
Know them all. bur the archde9con can call
the majority by name. and. with several
cIrates to help him, he does the lions share
of the parochal work TO him this work
and his sermOns-he breaches two each
week-are more important by far than his
literary productions. but il is mainly these
that have made his fame world wide. Be
sides the book quoted from above and his
celebrated Life Of Christ" Life OF S.
Paul, Eternal Hope etc, he has written
some delightful volumes about British
school life, and his contributions to the
periodical and newspaper press have been
Vo!uminOus.
The archdeacon's study is located within
the precincts of Westminster, overlooking
the abbey's serene Enclosure. 1t is album
dainty supplied with such books as a
scholar, worker and preacher like him
hang on the walls and the general effect is
soothing and res;rul. though NJ one can
enter the apartment without perce.ving at
once that il is the workshop Of a busy man.

later than $50 in the morning ana rarely
finishes before 10 at night. Sometimes he
