The Diocesan Magazine for April
has the following postscript" which
which will be of interest to members
Of the Anglican Catholic church in
Honolulu
The Diocesan Magazine is in a
position to state. that whilst the final
transfer of spiritual jurisdiction in
the Hawaiian Islands to the Church
in America is in the hands of the
Archbishop of Canterbury, from
whom the Bishops of Honolulu have
derived their mission and jurisdic-
tion, whatever action is necessary to
be taken by the present occupant of
the See to facilitate such transfer
has already been taken.
This being the case, it should be
recognized by all who desire that
the matter should progress smooth
ly, and as speedily as the circum-
stances will admit, that the inter
position of self-constituted, ire
sponsible body, styling itself a
"Church Defence Society,"" can have
no other effect than to retard the
attainment OF the desired end.

HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

| Cases of stabbing are so common in Rome that the general public only no- tlces them with the national shrug of the shoulders. On the Tiber en- bankment at midday recently two young men faced each other in silence armed with knives, four or five other fellows stood by, forming a ring, while
 at distance the people of the neigh l borhoOd, mostly women and children looked on with critical eye. After a few passes one of the two young mer staggered, fell heavily and died. The murderer and the witnesses withdrew and the women and children raised an uproar for the police. The dead man was Florentine, twenty years old. the other fellows. jailbirds all. were ar rested. One of them made a clean breast Emilio and the prisoners be- longed to an association of thieves. as sisted by receivers of stolen goods who provided them with free board and lodgings when business was slack

When some offeGse against the association is to be fnves- tigated board is appointed and the party acused pleads before this com mission of inquiry If all are con- vinced that he is innocent, the court and the accused adjourn tO the nearest wineshop; if, however, all or any of the judges be not convinced, the party accused is to fight the dissentient com missioners there and then. Emilio was suspected of being a spy and appeared before a board of five members of the association to exculpate himself. He convinced four of his judges, but the

At Hopkinsville, Ky, the other day the evangelist, Sam Jones, said that w J. Bryan is nearly forty years old and paying cnly sS taxes and that any man who cannot manage his own af- fairs better than that hasn't any bus mess fooling with the finances of the nation. The Hopkinsville people who are strongly for free silver and the boy orator" took offense at these re- marks and a message was at once wired to Lincoln, Neb., for the facts. An an- swer came saying that Bryan paid $135 in 1896, $241S8 in 1897, and $32277 in 1898, and the evangelist was at once asked to. correct his statement MT. Jones did it, and he might have added that the Boy Orator is appar- entity prospering under the iniquitous gold standard.

sUFFERINGs OF THE. POOR.

] It is Q selfish mind that can fail to think with pity of the awful suffer ings of the poor during a season of bit ter cold such as the east is expert encing. An official of the poor depart ment of the New York city govern
 ment has estimated that 10000 are
 starving in that municipality, 15,000 others needing immediate help and thousands more facing inevitable suf- fering if the weather does not mod
 crate. This appalling picture is only
 an enlargement of that existing in every city of the nation subjected to radical climatic changes. Bitter cold weather and blizzaTds throw large
 numbers temporarily out of employ
 ment, increase the cost of living, az
 gravate old and cause new diseases,
 and render hundreds of miserably con- structed homes little better than barns.
 The prolonged torture of multitudes
 of people throughout the country un
 der these conditions is inconceivabIe
 to those who do not suffer or witness
 il, and the only wonder is that there are not mere Of the pitiful fatalities 
 such as the news dispatches record
 from various points. How to reach and alleviate the sufferings of the af- f1icted in emergency times is a great problem. There are many who would be eager to help in the benefcent work, but are deterred by the absence of any organized agency to direct the charity, and many more stand ready to contribute who need only a remind CT and solicitation. In the absence of directing head, however, those citizens whose hearts are moved by the suffer- ings of the poor can find with little search about them these who need the help ofa Samaritan hand, and can learn, if they do not already know, the pleasure of doing "to the least of these'' an act of mercy. It is a cap tious person, void of real charity, who would stop in such an emergency to debate the w0rthine3s or unworthiness Of any suffering beneficiary.

ENGLAND's RELIGIOUS DILEMMA.

If the clergy dislike the interference
 of the state they can get rid of it on perfectly well known terms. They can 2gitate for establishment, and if they did they would obtain it. But they have no intention of doing any thing of the kind. The vast majority of them denounced Mir. Gladstone as a sacrilegiolts robber because he discs ta blished the church of Ireland, and tried to disestablish the church in Wales No man used stronger Ian guage on the subject than Lord Hali- fax, the president of the English church union. These men want to eat their cake and have it. But the Eng fish people have had enough of them. There is no halfway house between the Erastian and the voluntary princi- ples. So long as the Church of Eng land is established and endowed, it must be subject to the law of parlia- nent and the supremacy of the queen
 The judgment of the house of lords in the leading case of the Exeter ReredOs has made the bishops masters of the situation. They have the same right in ecclesiastical prosecutions that the attorney general has in other prosecu- tiOns. They can stop them all. The bishcps are irresponsible, and they nave taken adEantage Of the tact. It therefore becomes the duty of parlia- ment to take from them a power which they have perverted and a discretion which they have not exercised judic- ially. A bill for this purpose would be very short, and the government dare not refuse to give time for it. It would almost certainly pass the house of commons, and we doubt whether it would be rejected by the house Of lords. The popularity of the Episcopal bench, such as it is, does not extend to the temporal peers.-The Speaker.

WANT" MEDIUMS.

The small popular advertising known as wants" is a great and much sought after feature of the modern newspaper. The newspaper which carries the Largest number of paid want adlets" is regarded with special favor by other advertisers, and also by readers, who like to lock over the wants" each day. Every publisher is anxious to lead in this regard, both on ac- count Of the profits and because of the prestige it gives.-Des Moines News.

SHOULD BECOME A LAW.

The woman suffrage bill comes be- fore the council this afternoon. It is to be hoped it will be brought to final vote without further amendments postponements or other jugglery. Op- position to this measure is opposition to progress and liberty.
 It is claimed many women do not care for the suffrage, and this is un- doubtedly true, but by what reasoning shall all women be debarred from the enjoyment of political liberty, because some women are content without it? The same reasoning would disfran- chise men, for it is a we'll known fact that many men never vote, and still l larger numbers only vote occasion ally. Under present arrangements, all women are legally restrained from ex- pressing at the ballot box their polit- icaI preferences. It does net matter how great a stake a woman may pos sess in the government, how vast an estate she may hold, how high her men tai and moral fitness there is no pos sible method by which she can sur mount these legal obstacles and de- fend her own interests at the polls On the other hand, the most ignorant and wretched specimen of manhood is given full freedom to express any po- litical opinions he may possess. at whatever election he chooses, so long as he does not overstep the slight tests Of residence. An election is the mere counting of opinions and to vote is merely to express an opinicn in such form that 1t will be counted.
 There is certainly something radi- caIly wrong with our political institu- tions when our laws prevent and de- fend a weak, ignorant besotted wreck of man in his effort to vote, but which would thrust Clara Barton or Helen Gould in jail if they should venture to put their opinions in a. bal | lot box where they might be officially | counted. Men are free to vote, or net to vote. Give to women the same free dCm. If some women do not care to | exercise the right, no law will compel | them to do so; while such women as desire the privilege will have liberty
 
 results which have, been predicted to follow woman suffrage has faded like dew before the morning sun, under the overwhelming tesNmony of legislators, judges and good citizens in the states where women are already voting
 When such men as Tom Reed, Sena- tors Allison, Proctor, Davis, Depew, Platt. Hawley, Hoar and countless oth- CTS are open advocates of woman suf- frage, the budding politicians of Ari zcna need feel 10 hesitancy to give the a fair test Secretary of the Navy John D.

If the American beef packers emerge from the ordeal through which they are now about to pass they will receive more than a popular vindica- tion valuable only in a sentimental and moral way, They insist that their meats will bear the closest scrutiny. It cannot be denied that large numbers believe otherwise, whether justly or unjustly, and it is certain that that doubt has materially injured the busi- ness of the Chicago dealers. But if the probing of the inquiry court shall show that the beef furnished our sol dlers and that sold in the open market was and is free from deleterious sub stances, the packers will have a gov eInment guarantee worth many thou sands of dollars more than the amount of injury done by the present agitation
