THE ENGLL>H CHURCH WAR.

The British agitation over 'lawless-
ness in the church is ecclesiastical
rather than religious. To Americans
! at the end of the nineteenth century
the intensity of the popular feeling
aroused seems inexplicable. Paradox
lcaIly, the issue is amazing because
OF its combined littleness and great
ness. The principle Of religious tolera-
ton is at stake, as Arthur BaIfour in
tlmated at the opening of parliament
Whea he opposed as an amendment TO
the address to the throne, a resolution
regarding ''laWIessness in the church -
The general question of an established
church is also involved in the larger
aspect of the case.
But what are the offences that have
been stigmatized as lawless and have
brought ON the fierce contention? The
answer brings out What seems ia he
the bitterness of the issue In a general
way, the offences may be described az
attractions of the ritual and prescribed
ecclesiastical forms; the introduction
OF priestly practices that have heen
denounced as forbidden, unlawful and
Romish. To many these forms are oh
noXlous simply because the Anglican
church prides itself upon it's ancient
independence; others have more nrac-
tlcal reasons for their indignation
Among the practices condemned a,.e
the burning Of incense, the elevation of
the hosc the confessional. and ava,
the eastward position for
example, the minister shall face tba
congregation or the altar at ho1v com
union. Trivial as some of the counts
IN the indictment against the extre,oe
rituallsts may seem, they constitute in
the aggregate a presentment that hos
reused all England
Inc present dissention NAV probably,
De traced to the broad liberalitv al
lowed and, in sense even encour-
aged within the established chlrob -,
regard to both faith and practice. The
result has been growing divergence
between the two wings. On tbe ono
sloe may be found congregations whose
g service differs but little from tbo+ ~
me roman church, and on the otba,.
congregations that might find ready re-
coghitlon in America as Unitarian re-
tween these opposites are MANY da
sFees OF variance. The fact seems 70
De- that the extremists have exbaus4ad
each others patience, and a forn, &c
religious war is on.

THE P9TNT or VIEW.

There are times when tne point of
view is not to be taken into practical
consideration, no natter how impor-
tant it may seem when regarded pure
ly as a matter Of sentiment. William
Nesbitt a policeman Of New York city,
has reached one Of those periods. Not
long ago, Nesbitt, whose official stand
ing on the force is that of roundsman,
reported a patrolman whom he found
off his beat and in 4 saloon. No doubt
he was perfectly conscientious in do
ing this, the frequenting of saloons, or
any other places except ones beat dur
ing working hours being contrary to
the rules of the department Mr.. Mes
btt himself is now in trouble because
he was found exhorting in Methodist
church, when he should have been go
ing his rounds.
From Mr.. Nesbitts point of view,
exhorting in a church is a credtable and
even praiseworthy act, while going into
a saloon and there spending time which
should have been given to the public
service, is altogether reprehensible.
But these facts will not i'll any way
influence the police authorities in deal
ing with his case. He should have
been attending to tis duties. He was
not paid to exhort, but to make his
rounds, and see that the patrolmen
were attending to business. So far as
the practical question was concerned,
he might as well have been in a saloon
as in church, so long us he was sup
posed to be doing the work which he
was hired to do, The point of view
has its uses, but it is not to be con-
sidered in connection with such cases
as that Of Mr.. Neshitt

Small pox has been rooted out of Hol-
gum, Cuba, where it has been epidemic
for twelve years. The rigorous scav-
enging and sanitary campaign waged
by the Americans for the past three
months has had extraordinary results.
1t is fine thing for humanity. but it
is rough on the vultures. They have
lost their jobs in the street cleaning
department, and their means of liveli-
hood as well. 1t will be in order soon
for some of the tender-hearted oppo-
nents Of expansion to propose an ap-
preparation for the relief of the vul-
lures. Their faithful services in the
past might be urged as an argument
for a pension.

A bill has been introduced into the
Texas legislature making the proof that
q man has been called a liar proper
defense in cases of assault and battery.
The member who is responsible for the
bill stated that it was based on a law
already in force in Kentucky and he
wanted citizens OF the Lone Star state
to enjoy the same rights as Kentuck-
ians. This man has unconsciously
paid delicate tribute to the growing
self-control of the men of Texas and
Kentucky. There was a time, not so
very long ago, when the native Texan
or Kentucllian who had been called a
liar. was tried for murder, if he was
tried at all.

The treaty with Spain is anything but

Many fair-minded reople hope that
the latest effort to recover the liber-
alton of Mrs. Maytrick, who has al
ready passed many years of life SEN
tence in an English prison, will sue
coed. The verdict of the jury in Mrs
Mayorick's case was surprising, and
some of the rulings of the judge who
presided at her trial We're generally
considered astounding. The fact that
this judge was soon induced to retire
from the bench because of rapidly de-
veloping insanity has always afforded
a strong argument in favor of reopen-
ing the case; and there was much in
the evidence to strengthen the belief
that Mrs. Maybrick's husbands death
was the natural result of his own
habits
