HIGH-oHURCH AND LOw-oHURCH

1t is said that the most important ques-
lion that will come before the English
Parliament, which assembled yesterday, is
that relating to the troubles in the Es-
tablished Church. It seems that the
church is torn by internal dissensions re-
spectng ritualistic practices. There is a
high-church faction and a low-church fac
ton, and one is bitterly hostile to the
other. The ritualism of the high-church
faction is so pronounced that the faction
differs from the Catholic Church in only
one respect, namely, it refuses allegiance
to the Pope
1t is said that the high-church faction
contains the majority of the intellectual
and influential class of the people and the
low-church faction the most of the fanat-
les. When low-church bishop orders the
dismissal of curates for introducing the
confessional and mass into their churches
they are at once given curacies by nigh
church bishops. And thus the war goes
on It threatens the destruction of the Es-
tablished Church. 1t is probable that a
goodly number of those who are taxed TO
Keep up thS GStdplA9ASN C'''N Va "N"AN'A
care if the church were disrupted.
The difficulty in bringing the matter to
the attention of Parliament is that in that
body there are many Catholics, plenty of
dissenters and not a few agnostics. Ii can
readily be seen that in such an assembly
the Established Church would likely re-
ceive pretty rough handling. In fact. it
is asserted that if the trouble should be
taken up by Parliament there would be
split in the church and that the high
church faction would attach itself to the
Catholic Church. That is, of course, mere
speculation, but it shows the kind of talk
that is going on in religious and political
circles in England respecting the Anglican
church

Willing to SpIit,

There is Pittsburg life insurance agent

statue into buying policy in his company
the most liberal on EARTH" says the Pitts
burg News. He wrote policy for Chi
naman n few weeks ago, the first ever
written for a man of the race in Pittsburg
How he did it he alone knows. The Chi
naman has no clear idea of 1t. He under
stood that by paying the premiums
promptly he would be entitled to 5000
some time. He began bothering the agent
for the money after a couple of weeks had
passed, and the agent tried to explain to
him that he would have TO die before he
could get it, The Chinaman fell down a
cellarway on Grant street and was badly
hurt. His friends tried TO attend to him
without calling in a doctor. When they did
call one in two days later the doctor was
angry.
''Why didn't you call me sooner" he
asked. This man is half dead now"
Next day the injured mans brother was
at the insurance Office with a claim for

is dead

Her Savings in the Breach.

I don't suppose you have forgotten the

upon me in a way that 1 will not soon
forget.
You remember how money disappeared

and refused to loan a cents even upon the
best of security.
Il have always made it a rule TO never
talk business with my wife, and she, poor
woman, never knew at the time the many
anxious days that 1 had; for I tried 70
conceal my hopeless condition.
"At last it came to point where 1
was without even a hope, and I staggered
home with bankruptcy staring me in the
face. had made the fight and lost, and
then, seeieng all the savings of a lifetime
swept away, 1 gave up like man doomed
to die, and knowing that no fate could
ward off the blow.
Il knew that my wife must be told, so
I took her in my arms and broke it to her
as gently as possible.
For several minutes she said not
word. and I began to fear that the shock
had been too much for her. l had told
her that if I could only raise a small
sum, it might see me through the worst
and enable me to get upon my feet again.
Finally she spoke: john she said, I
have always had a presentiment that some
day something might happen, and when
ever I CHANGED to have a little money
that I thought 1 would not need 1 put it
away in one of little Wilie's discarded
toy banks. I haven't the slightest idea
how much there is, but 1 have been ad-
ding to it for years. I will get it, and we
will count il together
Il never knew it until that moment how
a man feels when he is reprieved under
the gallows.
'She placed the bank before me, and
dumped the contents upon the table
There was a total of rs cents. mostly in
pennies
1T was so comical that had to laugh,
but that laugh saved me. 1t drove away
the gloomy thoughts with which I had
surrounded myself. and took courage to
again look the situation in the face, and
finally won out.
II am still paying my wife her usual
allowance; but I haven't the face to ask
her if she Is again putting aside for rainy

SWIFT JUSTICE.

If there were many such judges in the
South as Judge Sheffield, who has just
concluded special term of court at Col
quit, Miller county, ia this state, there
would be fewer lynchings. He has done
the people of Miller county, and Of South
west Georgian fact, of the whole state
the greatest kind of service. He has made
il known that, at least in his judicial cir
cult criminals viii be swiftly punished.
Let the impression get into'the minds of
the people all over the state that judges
intend that the laws are to be promptly
enforced that criminals are to be tried
as soon as possible after they are arrested
and there win be a very noticeable de
cline in the number of crimes committed.
The defendants in the Miller county cases
were charged with a very heinous offense.
They were charged with having assassin
ated an old farmer named Rustin. and his
son. Virgil, and with having attempted
90 assassinate the Old mans daughter.
Their purpose was to prevent the old
man Rustin from prosecuting one of their
number for having wronged his daugh-
ter
Within a very few days after the crime
had been committed the accused parties
were under arrest. a special term of the
court was convened, a grand jury
sworn in, indictments found, the trials
held and five of the seven persons indict-
ed conceived. one being sentenced TO be
hung. the others to the penitentiary for
life. That was quick work and reflects
the greatest credit on the court the pros
ecuting attorney, the court officers and
the men who composed the grand and
petit juries.
There is no doubt that the people of
Miller county approve of what was done
in the cases. There was talk of Iynching
the persons accused of the crime. The
respectable people of the county were
aroused to the highest pitch of indigna-
ton by the atrociousness of the crime
They are doubtless glad however, that
the law was permitted to take its course
They realize now that great mistake
would have been made If the accused par
ties had been lynched. Judge Sheffield
has shown them that justice can be
pi ompt and sure when administered by
the right kind of judge, He did not ad-
init pleas made for the purpose of delay
He required the accused parties 20 plead
at once. and almost before the people had
time to realize fully what was taking
place the criminals were convicted
and sentenced.
The people of the state owe Judge Shelf
field debt of gratitude. He has set an
example which will be followed by other
judges. In future, we may expect fewer
delays in the administration of justice.
Persons charged with crime will be
brought to trial more promptly, and the
people will regain confidence in the courts
and will cease 10 resort to lynchings to
satisfy their desire for justice, and Grim
Inally inclined persons will be more care
full not to overstep the bounds of the law.

The lumbermen of Maine. Michigan and
Wisconsin have at last begun to be alarm
ed concerning the rapid rate of forest des-
truction that is going on in those states.
The paper pulp makers are sweeping the
timber off of thousands of acres of land
every year, and no thought is being given
to a renewal of the forests thus destroyed.
The paper trust has just secured control
of 10000 to $1,000 square miles of timber
land, and it goes without saying that the
trees will be swept off the land ruthless
ly. There, is one way to check the trust and
save the forests, and at the same time
benefit all purchasers of books and news
papers, and the remedy is in the hands of
Congress. Let the tariff duty on pulp from
Canada be removed, and the trust would
be checkmated.
