The Philadelphia Record remarks
that the Archbishop of Canterbury has
surprised the British public by affirm
ing that the experiment of an unmar-
ried ministry has been failure, and
that the people prefer married clergy
because the family of a clergyman oft
en- do as much good as he does. That
Is all very well, provided the people be
willing to pay for married ministry
Experience indicates that they are
not The present celibate system Gin
which large proportion Of the minis
tiers are unfnarried) was the result of
the failure of the parishioners to pay
living salaries. The number of highly
educated daughters of poorly paid cler-
gymen became burden to the con-
science of the nation. These young
women were without the means of liv-
ing as educated girls should live, and
the demand for governesses was not
enough to provide places for most of
them. The problem enlisted the eff
forts of Sir Walter Besant, who began
crusade in favor of the employment
of the daughters Of clergymen as do
nestle help. The poor ministers with
big families have been thinned out, and
it is rash for the Archbishop to urge
matrimony on the clergy until he shall
have worked the people up to the pay
nent of bigger salaries.

A Buffalonian says that the exposi-

fording accommodations to more than
10000 people. There are about 700
boarding and lodging houses that can
easily take care of 10000 more Nearly
5000 householders have opened their
homes to the public providing sleeping
room for some 10000 visitors. In ad-
dition the exposition authorities have
pitched tents inside the grounds for
uniformed bodies to the number of $50,
and speculative organizations manag-

more. 1t is believed that Buffalo can

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

This is the one hundred and twenty
fifth anniversary of the independence OF
the United States. In that short Pc
riod of time no other power on earth
ever achieved such wealth, such popu-
lation, such authority and such impe-
rial boundaries; though other powers
have made sudden and dazzling ad-
vances along the road of military tri-
umph. With this one exception of the
United States, first-c1ass powers es-
tablished on a permanent foundatlon,
have been the slow growths of CEN
turtles; here we have one where the
living citizen of little more than mid
die age has seen men who were born
before the Stars and Stripes or any
emblem of American independence, ever
rose on halliards by land or sea. Sure
ly we have done much in little time
grown an oak in the period of mush-
rooms: acquired an empire in two gem
erations and consolidated it in two
more, passing the dignity of empires
that have celebrated their millennial.
Today no single power would dare at
tack the United States unless goaded
by us until there was no alternative
but loss of honor; no single power could
raise so much money nor secure SO
much credit nor produce so much
food nor marshal so many patriots
without CONSUMPTION, nor speak IN the
affairs of men with more authority. 1t
is record to be proud of and 1t was
made in one hundred and twenty-five
years.
