RESIGNATION OF MR.. B1sPHAM
A Former Washington Rector Leaves
New Haven.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Jan. 15.-Rev.
Clarence Bispham, one of the curates at
Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church here
has resigned.
Rev. Mr.. Bispham has been a curate at
Trinity for four years. He has had charge
of the musical service and has been verv
successful in training the boy choir. Rev,
Mr.. Bispham came here from Washington
d. c., where he was rector of ST. Michael
and all Angels Church.
Rev. DR.. George William Douglass. who
now is in New York. was the rector of
Trinity, and it was he who brought Rev.
Mr.. Bispham here. DIR. Douglass was in
clined to be ritualistic. His successor at
Trinity. DIR. F. W. Baker, who came here
recently from Cincinnati has more liberal
views. and be objected to the manner in
which Rev. Mr. Bispham has led the choir.
AS Rev. Mr.. Bispham has strong ideas
about the musical service, he resigned.
Rev Mr.. Blspham is a cousin of David
Bispham. the singer, and a son-in-law of
Commodore Casey, of the United States
Navy. The family of Rev. Mr.. Bispham
came from New Jersey. but he began his
church career in Cheshire, England, to
which place he expects to return.

posure and in collateral ways. it has been
made plain to the public that the move
ment of concentration among the dominant
factors in trust control of industry and
transportation has progressed very far;
that the men who for practical purposes
own and direct the great basic productions
and manufacturers. the articles of prime
national necessity. the railways and mu-
nicipal franchises and facilities have been
growing together in closer and still closer
communion. under cover of great financial
institutions which serve them at once as
private clearing houses and as a means
for the pooling and central administration
of their stupendous interests. All these
things are indicative. if we should not say
ominous. of final step. which. perhaps,
after war of Titans among few of the
greatest of combinations, may lead to the
absorption of all independent and semi
independent units by one central trust
welding power over all money, all indus
try, all transportation, and everything else
useful TO count in the enterprises and ac-
tivities of the country.
AS something in the way of an offset, at
least theoretically. we have the combina-
tion of labor. Ii is not necessary at this
time TO consider how directly or to what
extent this movement has contributed to
the other. a generation or less ago trades
unionism began TO demonstrate its strength
and the remarkable power of organized
labor. At the beginning capital was not
similarly organized, and industry for some
years was continually perturbed by strikes
and such things. The beginning of the
present regime may be traced 10 the fear Of
ers first into closer alliance. and then,
when overpToduction and the Chinese pro-
tectiye tariff made low prices certain, into
the surrender of personal or small cor
porate effort, and the formation of trusts.
As Mr. Low truly says. if we have wit
side, we have also seen the individual la
borer absorbed by the union the union by
the central organization, and that by the
federation. Moving on parallel lines we
find capital and labor both apparently
marching 10 a point where all money and
property will be controlled by one trust,
and all labor by another.
BY this We do not mean thsi this is abso-
lutely about, or soon. to happen, but the
signs OF the times indicate such an ulti-
maie possible concurrence And then what
That is a question too large for present
decision. What would happen, naturally
or probably. if a score or two of men held
all the property of a nation, and all the
means. agencies, and usufruct of its pro-
ductions, manufactures, and commerce
and, the remaining hundred millions or SO OF
the citizenship were represented b. a fed
Grated organization composed of all the
able-bodied men of continent? No doubt
soon or late there would be clash between
the two forces. Then. what next? These art
thoughts which might well engage the
minds of our great masters of industry and
fiinance-at least of those who are not in.

There seems to be a widespread i'm
preston that the German Government is
pressing England in an unfriendly spirit,
in the matter of the Bundesrath seizure,
and that the Kaiser is looking with less
favor upon the idea of a permanent Anglo
German alliance than he did a few weeks
ago. But, il the report be true. that a
large number of rifles and other contra
band of war have been found on the Bun

Prize Fighting VS.. Boxing.


1t would be idle to deny that prize fighting ex-
cites an interest beyond the circle of roughs and
FOUNDERS. The papers are practically compelled
to give their readers full accounts of every cham
pionship contest. But it is the idea of a COM
petition of strength and skill that attracts at
iention and glorifies the heroes of the ring Many
a man who reads the story of battle eagerly
would be siekened at the sight of the contest
itself. 1t is in true sport. Boxing
is all well enough. 1t is one of the best of
exercises and no field game is better calculated
TO arouse a lively and intelligent interest. When,
however il degenrates into bloody, repulsive
and dangerous show, whose purpose is to raise
money for the brutes that engage in it, the time
for legal prohibitions has arrived.

A STRIKE IN CLEVELAND.
The Rod Workers Trouble Reaches
the Ohio City.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 1.-THE strike
of the Rod Mill Workers Association was in
full effect here today. 1t is understood
here that the mills of the trust are affected
in Ohio, Pennsylvania Indiana. and Illi-
nois. In Cleveland go men are affected
The strike was precipitated by the receipt
of information that three men had been
discharged at Beaver Falls, Pa, for being
members of the Union.
The men claim they are fighting for
recognition of their union as well as for
the signing of the wage scale. Even if the
company refused to sign the scale it is
stated, that the fact that the men were
discharged for the reason given, would be
sufficient to cause a strike. None of the
three mills of the trust here is in operation

There is some reason to fear that sand
is running low in the land of Clay. Only
the other day the Kentucky Republicans
were breathing birthstone and the fire OF
Jehannum. They were going to declare
the Legislature and Court of Appeals
a mob and disperse them at the points OF
eleven-inch bowie knives. Now they are
talking of an appeal to the Federal courts.
by which means they hope to hang up a
decision for a couple of years. But gen.
eral opinion seems to grow that if the
Legislature and State courts declare the
Republican government a usurping and IL
legal one, Governor Taylor will have TO
step down and take his remedy on the

We are not so sure that the Fenian in

warlike frame OF mind, and the Minister

In view of the acknowledgedly Anglo
phobe public feeling in Germany, it is per-
haps as singular as it is interesting to
see France quietly but steadily increasing
her military forces on the German from
tiers. 1t may be that the French authori-
ties do not take a great deal of stock in
the idea that there is any serious friction
between Berlin and London over the
Bundesrath incident. even If it is said
that the German Foreign Office has just
despatched a curt second note to Lord
Salisbury in that connection. As one OF

there is a good deal more of gravity in the
European diplomatic situation than ap-
pears on the surface of things.
