Rritnin.nnd AInrkn.

We are quite convinced that cousinly
feeling, philanthropy. and, indeed, all the
beatitudes, boil out of the British Govern
ment and people where America is con-
cerned like altar of roses out of the OF
ter" All the same, it could be wished
that our dear relatives and friends across
the pond were not quite so set in their
ways when it comes to matters OF practical
business. We do not like to be unkind or
critical We will not even refer to the
aphorism of the London National Re-
view" which once remarked that "all the
beatitudes seem TO go hand in hand with
Britain's interests" But we are little
touched, and uncomfortably SO, by the evil
dent tendency of Lord Salisbury's Gov
ernment to back Canada In trying to swim
die us out of a large slice OF Alaska which
we bought with the rest of II, from Russia,
which Russia had possessed peaceably for
half a century, and as to which our pos
sesgory rights would never have been
called into question but for the discovery
of gold In the Yukon region.
It is an old and trite story. We own
and occupy the Territory of Alaska under
terms of purchase which give us all the
area between Mount ST. Elias and the top
of the continent within ten marine leagues
from the coast line. BY common consent
and under the laws of nations and ordinary
as Russia did, from the shores of the
continent Canada insists that our pos
sessions should be measured inland from
the exterior coast lines of the outlying
islands.
OF course 1t is impossible for anyone to
know what a Republican Administration
might concede in such circumstances, for
a valuable political or personally syndi-
Gated consideration; but nothing is more
certain than that the American people
would demand war to the knife with any
power attempting such a green goods game
at their expense, rather than submit to 1t.
Our Ambassador at the Court of St.
James has been endeavoring to arrange
a modus vivendi with Her Majesty's Gov
ernment, for the present season, with
view thereby TO avoid the border strife
which has been more than threatened by
the encroachments OF the invading Cana
dians. 1t had been reported that a protocol
was about ready for signature. Yesterday,
however, news came that Lord Salisbury
had made new conditions and that the
whole matter was In the air again.
II would be better TO let Il stay there.
We have few troops and no end of miners
and prospectors armed with Winchesters
up in Alaska. If the British Government
will not act reasonably. and the Canadians
really feel that they must tackle our
pioneers. the results may possibly be Sc
rious, but nobody here will be likely to
lose sleep over them 1t would not take
many things like the Alaskan boundary
and insistence upon the validity of the
abandoned, and exploded
old Clayto9- -Bulwer treaty to change the
sentimental friendship of Jonathan for
John Bull into the liyeliest kind OF enmity.

coYLE MUST STAND TRIAL.
Indicted for Corrupt Solicitation n,
Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, June 15.-At least one of
the men charged with bribery in connec-
tion with the contest for the United States
Senate in the last Legislature will be
brought TO trial. This evening the grand
jury returned a true bill in the case of
former Senator John ]. Coyle, on the count
charging him with offering Representa-
tive Engler, of Lycoming county, $500
with a promise of more, TO vote for
reconsideration of the McCarrell jury bill
There were eight counts in the indict-
ment seven of them being ignored. The
count on which the jury returned a true
bill is an indictment for corrupt solicita-
ton.
Judge Simonton called the jury Into
court when District Attorney Miller sub
mitted the several bills in the bribery
cases, and gave them special instructions
as to the law bearing on bribery and the
solicitation of members of the Legislature
The court was particular to caution the
jury about the danger of allowing politi-
cal prejudice TO influence them in these
cases, which. he said, should be consid-
cred the same as any other cases before
them
Action on the other cases will probably
be taken tomorrow. All the defendants
and their counsel are here, but 1t is un-
derstood that none of the cases will be
tried until the September term, owing to
the large criminal list that must be dis
posed OF at the present term. Former Con-
gressman Monroe Fl. Kulp, Representative
Charles b. Spatz, of Berks; Robert A
Evans, John J. Coyle, Thomas Moyles, and
other accused persons are here waiting
action of the court and jury.

ORDINATION OF DIR. BRIGGS.
Bishop Potter's Action Criticized by
Bishop Huntington.

oswego. N. Y. June 15.-At the thirty
first annual convention OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church of Central New York,
held here yesterday. the Right Rev. Fred
erick Dan Huntington. ID. D.. of Syracuse
made reference to the ordination of Dr.
Briggs In his sermon and showed his dis
approval of the action OF Bishop Potter
He said:
Needless public occurrences have lately
done deplorable injury to the great cause
to which We all alike owe our supreme allie
glance. Since the first few generations
after Pentecost. the power, the extension,
the doctrine, the worship. the work, the
defence Of the Christian faith have been
inseparable from the Holy Scriptures of
the Old and New Testaments as a book.
The proofs of this fact, as they appear in
every department of Christian learning and
literature from the beginning, in systems
and treatises. in corporate and personal
religion, in institutions of education and
charity. and the preaching OF the gospel
in missions and reforms, are too plain and
too all-prevailing to be named here. l
suppose il Is not too much to say, not
referring now to what the Church has owed
TO these writings before they were formally
brought together in the canon, that IT is i'm
possible to see how the Church could have
kept its integrity. its authority, its unity.
its practical force in the living world with
out them; i. e.. how Christianity could have
survived.

itself through ages. without etfectual dis
pute to be the word of God, which has

seats of law and courts Of Judgment, which

men. and seers, which has saturated lit
anies, missals, prayer books, altar an
thems, and august obsequies with its un-
earthly spirit and glorified them with its
grandeur. could have been only offensive
by its impotence and amazing in its aduac-
ity." This was Bishop Huntington's ref
erence TO Bishop Potter's action in ordain-
ing DIR. Briggs to the Episcopal priest
hood.

Richard Parks Bland.

Another old Democratic war horse has
left us. Richard P. Bland, whose name
has been SO long identified with the peo-
pie fight for the bimetallism of the Con-
stitution, is dead and gone. He was one OF
the few conspicuous survivors of the old
Democratic guard that carried the party
TO victory in 1884 after an exclusion from
power lasting almost a quarter of a CEN
tury. Long before he was called to join
the great majority, their ranks had been
sadly thinned. He lived to see some of
the most cherished leaders of the organiza-
tion die, and others turn traitors and leave
II in humiliation and disgrace worse than
death.
But Richard p. Bland always stood to
his guns. Within the party he was always
a man of influence and Importance. Out
side of Its pale he was sincerely liked and
respected by even his most extreme politi-
cal opponents. During his long service in
Congress there was never a suggestion OF
personal interest In anything that he did,
advocated, or antagonized. He was par ex-
ceIlence, the Straightforward, honest, simple
man of the people. His death will make
vacant place in popular estimation not
easy to fill.

ating the assertion that Otis does not care

skeletoning the regular forces on home

bacteria in the kindergarten.

1t is reported that the kindergartens OF
Boston have begun interesting the chill
dren in the study OF bacteria. They are
given small glass boxes filled with a gel
atinous preparation suitable for the de-
yelopment of bacteria, which they examine
with microscopes. This is truly a Boston,
Ian scheme. Chicago Enthusiastically
suggests that it might be well 10 send
the little Boston children a barrel or SO of
Chicago water, but II is TO be hoped this
plan will not be carried out. Health
should not be sacrificed to scientific re-
search except in cases of extreme need
or course, the practical value of this
new branch OF study depends largely upon
the antecedents OF the children who are
taking II up. II the young students be-
long to that stratum of society likely to
produce college professors and scientific
investigators, IL may be OF the utmost
value to familiarize them with the methods
of science at an early age. as the children
OF ballet dancers are taught to dance as
soon as they can walk. But II these meth
DDS are to be applied indiscriminately to
all kindergarten infants. their wisdom may
be doubted.
The kindergarten In some OF its forms
is one OF the most valuable agencies for
popular education ever evolved. par
ticularly practical system of kindergarten
teaching. in force in some of the New York
schools, is that which instructs the pupils
in the simpler forms OF industrial work.
The boys are taught TO drive nails, use a
saw, and carve wood and the girls are
instructed in housework by means OF dolls
furniture, toy brooms, and other imple-
ments. Work is thus made interesting and
attractive. and the hands are trained to
use tools with deftness and care. This is
certainly more useful to the children of
working people than the folding of paper
or embroidering of perforated cardboard
But it is difhcult 10 see how the study of
bacteria, as bacteria, would be of much
use to the ive-year- son or daughter
of a common laborer.
There are ways. however, In which this
study could be made useful. One OF the
greatest dangers Of tenement life arises
from the consumption OF fruits and veg
etables which are ovcrripe and of poor
quality. 1t might be OF some use to show
the children what sort of a thing a spoiled
