THE TEST OATH IN ENGLAND,
How Protestant Succession to the
Throne is Safeguarded.

|
Throne is Safeguarded,
It would probably be no exaggera-
ton to say that the frame Of mind of
nine out of ten Englishmen on the
subject of the sovereign's declaration
of anssubstantiation and certain
cognate subjects might be best repre-
scented by Melbournes classic question,
why can't you lave 1t alone?" I'm
fortunately. the tenth man is affected
by a yirulent form OF theological
rabies, for the cure of which no eCcle,
siastical Pasteur has yet arisen, and
he will not leave the remaining nine
in peace.
Earl Grey, in the course Of a speech
of great moderation and excellent
sense in the house of lords yesterday,
expressed the opinions of most rational
men when he said that personally, if
he were a Roman Catholic-and there
was, probably, no member of the house
more opposed to their doctrines-he
really thought he would prefer the
declaration in its old unamended form
because he would regard it as an ar
chaic, meaningless formula which had
come down to us"
However, our Roman Catholic fellow
subjects not unreasonably refuse to
regard in that light the extensively
worded reputation of beliefs which
they hold sacred. Something, how
ever. has 70 be done, and the question
is, What shall 1t be? The very infu-
entail and representative committee
appointed to consider the problem re-
ported in favor or form Of declara-
ton which as Earl Gray said might
be conscientiously made by the en-
press of China or the mahdi Were it
adopted the sovereign would assert
that certain dogmas are not consistent
with the Protestant religion and that
no one ever pretended were so. And,
so far as the latter part Of the declara.
ton is concerned, it might be taken
without scruple by the most cOnscien-
lions Catholic

the propriety or necessity of main.
tanning an ancient form to inquire
how it came into existence. Every
schooIboy really does know that the
declaration in it's present form was in
the Test Act Of 30 Charles II, and was
incorporated in the bill OF rights
adopted to give statuary effect to the
Declaration Of rights which William
and Mary accepted as the condition
Of their elevation to the throne from
which James II had been driven. The
first section began by reciting the
various acts by which James did "en-
deayor to subyert and extirpate the
Protestant religion and the laws and
liberties OF this kingdom" the tenth
section prescribed that every king or
queen, on the first day Of their first
parliament, shall prescribe and audi.

demurred to the view that tests were
no longer necessary and asserted that
1T was not in accordance with the
constitution or the practice Of this
country"
Lord Grey however, had contended
with admirable justice that before he
was crowned the sovereign was re-
CURED solemnly to swear that he
would govern according TO tho statutes,
maintain the laws OF God and truth,
and the Protestant religion as estab-
lished by law. and be was required
10 seal his oath with the most sacred
form Of conservation that the church
divided" n that assurance be not
considered sufficiently binding, surely
all that f. requisite Is supplied by the
act Of settlement OF 1900, which enacts
that whatsoever shall hereafter come
to the possession OF this crown shall
Join IN communion with the Church
Of England as by law established"

these safeguards the declaration
would appear to be altogether super.

bly, repeat the declaration mentioned
in the statute 80 Charles IT,"
Now, the statute in question, best
known as the Test act, required
all persons holding any office of profit
or trust under the crown TO take the
oath Of allegiance and supremacy re-
ceive the sacraments according 10 the
rites Of the church of England and
subscribe the declaration against
ransubstantiation" This act though
aimed at Roman Catholics, was equal
ly operative against dissenters. and
it was not repealed, as is well known,
till 1928 The declaration, therefore.
was an incident in an episode Of great
importance, limited, however, to par.
ticular crisis in our history.
We may infer, consequently that
the original justification Of that spc-
cial section Of the bin Of rights was
to exclude the possibility or a Roman
Catholic successor TO tn throne Il
might, however, have b, IN thought
that sufficient precautlon against such

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE.

While strolling through SCandina-
via, William E. Curtis learned tEHt
Marshall Bernadotte was the last
French governor of the territory of
Louisiana, which in those days in
GUIDED that part of Minnesota west of
the Mississippi river. Bernadotte never
visited the new world, but he was APP
pointed governor general of the colony
by Napoleon and was preparing to sail
for New Orleans, when Napoleon con-
cIuded the sale of the territory to the
United States.
This fact suggests to Mr.. Curtis
that it would be emincntly proper for
the directors of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition to be held in St.
Louis in 1903, to invite the grandson Of
the last governor, King Oscar II. of
Sweden and Norway to attend as the
guest of honor,
I cannot say that the king would &C

health is delicate, but the plan has al
ready been intimatod to him, and he
is nightly pleased at the possibility
of receiving such a compliment from
the United States. If he cannot go
himself he will certainly send one of
his sons to represent him, which
would be almost as interesting and
important The invitation, of course,
would have TO come through the regu-
lar diplomatic channel They are

formalities, although at the same time
the king is one of the most democratic
of sovereigns. He rides in the street
cars. he goes about the streets Of

with one of his familiar chums, and
loves a joke and a hearty laugh as
much as any man living. He is particu
larlv fond of American humOr, and
when he gets Mr.. Thomas, the United
States minister. off alone he invari-
ably inquiries for the latest American
story.
