would NOT permit any of the members OF

to bed, leaving Flynn lying on the floor,
where he remained throughout the rest OF

Early in the morning one of the family

fed the neighbors who hastened to the

suit OF the man, He came up with Bou'
IanRer, who had taken refuge In barn
near the Connecticut river, but the lat

Then the Consscrator shall give the

After this general osouiatlon, Of which
our Prayer Book Is happily innocent, they
all sang "Eooe Guam Bonum." There
was even an endeavor to import into the

during portions Of the Te Deum, is but
natural.
"After the Blessing the Consecrator

Then the Consecrator shall return to

n Is possible that all these things
should be permitted in the Protestant
Episcopal Church. That Is o question
into which we do mot enter here. IL lie
a question for the General Conven tion.
But what is not question for the Gem
eral Convention, but a question OF fact,
is that this Is not the serivce set apart In
our Prayer Book for the Consecration Of
Bisnops, and that those who publish it rs
though it were, tamper with documents
In a way that will be condemned BY the
common consoience OF the Church.
That they do this with intent to deceive,
we do not assert They may merely wish
to crafty a whimsical fancy and 60 as
sert their liberty to be law to them
selves. That again is their right as in
dividuals, but not as members, still less
as bishops, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.

died at the Maine General hospital, where
he had been conveyed Thursday after

of age, and was accidentally discharged,
the bullet taking effect in the body OF
Morris Lavinsky, IA years old, as related.
Saturday forenoon Coroner HPerry was
notified of the death of the boy. He had
previously Investigated the case and SO

RITUAL ANARcHY.
(From the Christians


on November 8, being tho octave OF
All SaInts," there was consscrated as
Bishop -Coadj utor Of the diocese Of Fond
du Lac the Ven. Reginald Heber Weller,
Jr. The Bishop OF Fond du Lao was the
consecrat,r; the co-oonsecsators. the
Bishop of Milwaukee and the Bishop-Co-
adiutor OF Chicago. The Bishop Of Chi
caeo preached, the Bishop OF Marquette
ana the Bishop OF Indiana were the pre-
senters. These gentlemen may, therefore,
be supposed to have devised or to have
condoned the order Of service that was
used on this occasion, and so to have
made themselves aiders and abettors OF
ritual anarchy in the American- Church.
We have no objection whatever to any
legitimate development of ritual We
do not think our Book OF Common Prayer
incapable Of amendment or enrichment.
There are lines on which we wish 1t
might he enriched, but the method OF
this 'Ordsr OF Servics'' is disorder

tion under this administration.

who preached the doctrine of repudi-
alton; they regarded individual and
national honor as more vitality i'm
portant than their party regularity,
and they bolted.
In the four years that have inter
vened since that time nothing has oc-
Cured to diminish the soundness of
the reasons advanced by the sound
money Democrats. The recent pass
age of the Currency bill does not al
ter the situation in the least. 1t es-
tablishes the gold standard in an I'M
equivocal manner, yet the act of this
Congress is subject to repeal by its
successors, and the election of free
silver House this fall, and of free sill
yer President, would be the entering
wedge by which the whole free silver
fallacy might ultimately be foisted
upon the country. Mr.. Bryan's Ne
braska platform evidences plainly
that he is still devotee of this her
esy. If he should be nominated again
this year his campaign would have
the same underlying motives as that
of 1896 Aroused to fury in his con-
temptation of the Currency bill,
while writing the Nebraska platform
Mr.. Bryan went to the extreme Of de-
claring for a fiat paper money, is ued
in boundles quantities. Such finan-
cial doctrines as he officially enunciat-
ed on Monday are as Numerically
opposed to sound and honorable bus
mess principles as were those to which
he vowed allegiance in 1896.
In view of this, it is not possible for
any Democrat who was sincere in his
sound money convictions in 1896 to
support Mr.. Bryan in 1900. That
Bryan will again be the Democratic
nominee seems certain. That he will
again be defeated is equally certain.
1t is foolish for him to build castles
upon the hope that the sound money
Democrats will either fail to see their
duty or lack the courage to perform
it as plainly as they did in 1896. The
sound money Democrats realize that
the party must purge itself of Bryan
before it can hope to win, and party
fealty will not hold them against per-
sonal and public duty. They will
stand exactly where they did four
years ago. There is no other position
for them to occupy and they still re-
tain their old courage and vigor.

The most important measure passed
by the Maryland Legislature since
last Thursday was the gas bill at ST. 10

discussion Of the bill great deal of
bad blood was engendered between
the Democratic leaders, but Governor
Smith whipped the recalcitrants into
line and the bill was whooped
through on Monday night.

the purpose of driving the pulp mill
away from Luke-called the Potomac
pollution bill-was killed in the

the measures will be Enacted upon.
