consisted of a membianous substance, which when
the snake was in dormant condition. remained foIl

the ground and sailed through the air at terrific
speed. The snake is as black as charcoal and has a

RituaIism in England.

A very strong and vigorous agitation has
sprung up in England directed against the
innovations of high churchmen of the es-
tablished church. These innovations are of
various nature. The doctrine of the real
presence at the sacrament is laugh in
many of the churches, and in such
churches there are many candles burned,
censers containing incense are swung, con-
fessions to priests are made and even
mariolaty, as the veneration of the Virgin
is called, is INDUCED in. The movement to-
wards these things has been progressing
many years, and the movement is now en-
countering a reaction in the form of a
popular agitation. AS parliament is now in
session, and the church is state church,
anti-ritual bills will be introduced and
pressed forward.
The prime minister, the Marquis of Sails
bury, is not in sympathy with the popular
movement. He believes in letting the
churches manage their spiritual affairs in
their own way, and no doubt the conserva-
case Nor is it known that Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, the new liberal
leader in the house of commons, will sup
port the movement, and yet he may be-
cause nearly all liberals are either dissent
ers or anti-ritualists. But the anti-ritual-
lists have a good leader in Sir William Yer
non Harcourt, and the chances are very
good that England will be as much vexed
with the ritual question as France has
been with the Dreyfus revision.
The matter does not go very deep 1t is
more a matter of forms and ceremonies
than anything else. If any one thinks
that the control of England is to be trans
ferred to Rome" they are troubling them
selves unnecessarily. England will remain
Protestant in any event. Ritualism does
not carry with it the control of England
The dissenters and low churchmen consti-
tute a large majority of the English people
and when they combine, as they would in
a religious crisis, they would easily carry
the house of commons, which is the Eng
fish government They would resist any
departure from the religious independence
that England won in the Reformation
Reformation is spelt with big r in their
minds and creeds.

The Fiuhtinq at Manila.

The several battles in the neighborhood
of Manila have displayed much the same
courage on the part of the men and of
Skill on the part of the officers that were
witnessed at Santiago. The difficulties of
climate and supplies were alone lacking.
General Otis, supported whenever it was
possible by the guns of Admiral Deweys
fleet, managed thesheavy and long-impend-
ing attack well, and the Aguinaldotes
have received lesson they have long
needed. Some of the attacking force were
not well armed, but some of them had
Mauser rifles, and they had the support of
Krupp guns. The latter were served by
Spanish soldiers. The utter rout and dis
persion of the Filipinos was therefore
creditable to American soldiers, and par
ticuarly to General Otis, who has been
under fire before.
The effect of the battles will be salutary
The Fiipinos will hereafter respect the
Americans. Nothing is more useful in that
direction than fighting of the kind that
General Otis afforded; and if the war de-
partment will give him free hand 1t is
believed that he will soon settle one feat
ure of the Philippine problem He Will, if
left unhampered from Washington. estab-
lish peace and order. He will also teach
the Filipinos that American warfare Is not
savagery, and that they can safely trust
themselves for a while to American mill
tary rule. 1t should be remembered that
the Fiipinos do not know Americans well
or their methods, and this lack of knowl-
edge has enabled Aguinaldo, who is simply
an ambitious youth of rs, to misiead them.
After armed resistance is overcome will
come the efforts needed to win the conf
dcnce of the Filipinos. These efforts will
consist at first in good government; and
then will follow the serious and difficult
task of leading them up to self-govern-
Ioent. The' Work of Spanish rule through
thrce centuries Is to be undone. The task
Is serious one. but America is equal to 1t.
When Ii is plain that the Filipinos can gov
ern Themselves, then will come the selec-
tion of government in fair election, and
