Archoishon of Canterbury.

1.-The Right Honorable and Most Rever-
end Frederick Temple D. D.. archbishop
of Canterbury and primate of all Eng
land, who crowned King Edward would
be a notable figure in the Anglican
church, even were he not holding his
high office" said a churchman.
Before he was selected by Lord Palm
erston for the bishopric of Exeter, DR..
Temple was one of the authors of the ia
nous Essays and Reviews which were
colored with rationalism and there was
considerable opposition to his consecra-
ton on that account In later years his
views became more evangelical and as
bishop of London he was regarded as one
of the most conservative of ecclesiasists
in matters theological.
while filing the London bishopric DIR.
Temple was active in the temperance
cause. He was total abstainer himself
and made many addresses in favor of
total abstainance.
"As archbishop of Canterbury this aged
prelate has made by reason of his deep
piety, strong character and hard COM
mon sense a deep impress upon the
church. He is so years old and from the
reports Of the coronation Is In feeble
health, but his usefulness may yet con-
tinue for some time. The archbishop of
Canterbury, In court precedence, ranks
Immediately after the royal family The
lord chancellor comes next; then the
archbishop of York, and then the Duke
of Norfolk"

Cholera in the Philippines

Asiatic cholera first made its ap-
pearance in Manila on March 90,
when two cases were discovered. The
infection was brought no doubt from
China, where the disease is very prev
alent this year. Although steps were
speedily taken to stamp out the di-
sease it continued to spread among
the natives and Chinese until it is es-
timated there has been fully $4,000
cases, and nearly as many deaths.
Comparatively few Americans or Eu-
ropeans are attacked by it, but it is
almost impossible to enforce measures
of sanitation among the natives and
Chinese with whom the island is
crowded. Thus far the disease has
been confined to Luzon in the archi-
pelago. The disease is of a deadly
type this year and few recover from
it. 1t has by no means run its course,
and the island will probably be af-
fiicted by it until December at least,
and perhaps longer.
The archipelago has been rid of
bubonic plague, and the 5000 cases of
leprosy in the islands are under gov
ernmental observation with a view
to the suppression of the disease in
the long run. Smallpox is under con-
troll, and thunderpest no longer af-
flicts the cattle of the islands. The
sanitary task among such horde of
natives and Chinese, who have no
respect for approved regulations, is a
heavy one, but the board of health is
doing good work, and no doubt it will
after while be able to free the arch
ipelago from all alarming epidemics.
1t is one of the problems that Admiral
Dewey bequeathed to us when he sud.
denly appeared In Manila harbor on a
morning in May three years ago.

Closer Traffic Relations.

president Samuel Spencer of the
Southern railway is authority for the
statement that his great line has finished
its map. and is therefore buying no more
railroads." remarked a traffic official yes

Of the question, but so long as ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. have a say In the Louisville
and Nashville policy that line and the
Southern will be in close relations.
Neither will the Southern attempt to get
control of the Seaboard Air Line. But as
Mr.. Spencer points out, all the Southern
railroad companies cooperate in main
tanning freight rates, even where they
are strong competitors. In the past three
years a stability of rates has been the
rule In fact, this stability has not been
equalled anywhere in the United States"

PHILOM Ella.

By Matthew Arnold.
Harki ah the nightingale
The tawny-throated!
Hank, from that moonlit cedar what a
burst!
What triumph! hark,-what paint
O.wanderer from a Grecian shore.
Still, after many years, in distant lands.
Still nourishing in thy bewildered brain
That wild, unquenched, deep-sunken, old
world pain
Say, will it never heal?
And can this fragrant lawn
with its cool trees, and night,
And the sweet, tranquil Thames
And moonshine, and the dew,
To thy racked heart and brain
AFFORD no balm?
Dost thou tonight behold.
Here. through the moonlight on this
English grass,
The unfriendly palace in the Thracian
wild?
Dost thou again peruse
With hot cheeks and scared eyes.
The too clear web, and thy dumb sisters
shame?
Dost thou once more assay
Thy flight, and feel come over thee
Poor fugitive, the feathery change
Once more, and once more seem to make
resound
With love and hate. triumph and agony.
Lone Daulis, and the high Cephissian
vale?
Listen, Eugenia-
How thick the bursts come crowding
through the leaves!
Again-thou nearest,
Eternal passion !
Eternal pain!

A PHYSICIANS VACATION.

From the New York Press.
1.-The best thing a physician or surgeon
can do is to go off about six months
every two, of three years and give pa
tents chance to miss him, then come
back and resume practice. They will
flock back to him in swarms-providng,
of course, he has established a reputa-
ton and gained their complete conf
dence.'' So says leading and eminently
successful surgeon.
Here is a physician living In a city OF
$1,000 inhabitants, with a practice of $2O-
900 a year, of which he collects s12,
1.-THE most successful practitioners in my
town." he says ARE two young men who
spent a year each in Vienna and Paris,
apparently studying the latest methods
and cures. All that they know they learn
ed right in New York, but the mere fact
of their having taken a course or two in
Europe, or having pretended to. has given
them a vogue which no one who has
never been abroad can appreciate. A
foreign reputation is worth $4,000 a year

CANE FIELDS OR NOTHING.

From Letter in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
Whether the people of the United States
really want to annex Cuba 1 do not
know. l do know, as every one who
lives here, that the Cubans as whole
are bitterly opposed to anything of the
sort. There remains only the remedy of
reciprocity for the evils of the island,
and that must come quickly or it will be
too late. 1t has taken many, many years
to educate the Cuban laborers up to the
habit of working the cane fields, and If
they are forced to abandon that habit
and all that 1t represents there is no i'm
mediate salvation for the country or its
people, for nothing but humiliation could
separate Cuba from sugar cane.
Practically all her resources are in
vested IN sugar making, and her people
have made 1t part of their lives. Her
only salvation is in the lifting up of this
industry.

Mr.. Whitney's Position.

intellectually, said w. c. Whitney
recently at Bar Harbor in an inter-
val of horse racing, politics is less
interesting Just now than usual. The
trouble is the democrats have no issue
and no man." When reduced to its
final ingredient this remark means,
81 am out of politics because | belong
to the muti-millionaire class, and my
merger schemes are coming on finely
under the rule of the republican party,
and I do not care to disturb existing
conditions. Tam therefore giving my
spare time to horse racing rather than
to politics"
II this were the sentiment of all
democrats accomplishing one-half of the
voters of the country-there would be
little hope left. A country without an
active opposition party is not coun-
try in a healthy condition, nor is it
one that has much promise in it. The
Age-Herald declines to think this
country has fallen into such condition,
although it is plain Mr.. Whitney has.
II is not true that there is no issue
at present. The country was. never
fuller of great and difficult issues
never in its entire history. We need

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

From New York Mail and Express.
The demurrer in the so-caled beef
trust injunction suit will raise the in
teresting and important question Whether
the packing houses of the west, with
their agencies in the east, are engaged
in Interstate commerce, and consequent
" whether they are subject to the juris-
diction of the United States courts. Thus
far they deny nothing and admit nothing,
but say practically to the Federal au-
thorities 1T is none of your business"
That is the question to be argued, and
If the court concludes that it is the busi-
ness of the United States to interfere
with the operations of the Combine" if
they are as alleged, then they will have
to be admitted or denied and their re-
lation to the law of the land will be de-
termined.
1t is of the utmost Importance that we
get a clear determination of this ques-
ton of what constitutes interstate COM
merce, in the sense that it is subject to
regulation by congress. Can a single
concern or combination of concerns con-
duct business all over the country, buy
ing material in various states, and even
controlling the supply and price of it,
and distributing the products in various
states and controlling the market for its
sale and the price to consumers, and
not be engaged in Interstate commerce,
because it does not itself do the trans
porting from one state to another? That
is question that needs deciding before
we can know what either the Federal or
state courts can do about it.

The Next Bishop.

1.-THE Alabama diocesan council of the
Episcopal church will meet In Montgom-
cry in October to elect a bishop to succeed
the late Bishop Barnwell and several ex-
cellent clergymen are now being dis
cussed as candidates" said a prominent
layman.
1.-THE Rev. w. A. Query, native of
South Carolina, but now at Suanee, is
mentioned as a possible candidate. He is
well known in Alabama as an uncom-
monty strong man.

Locomotive Cinders.

1T have been saying that locomotive
cinders are larger and fly faster into the
passenger coaches now than in former
years." said a commercial traveller
"An old railroad superintendent told
me the other day that while fuel used
now was no more'cindery' than that used
in the past, cinders were thicker be-
cause the engines pulled much heavier
trains, and therefore had TO do more
putting and blowing. 1t was this heavy
work that caused more dirt in the
coaches.
I'm this inventive age it seems strange
that some mechanical genius cannot
make a smoke consuming device that
would minimize, IL it did not entirely
stop, the cinder nuisance"

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Two Holidays Within Week Caused
Light Business.

London, August 10-The payment of a
20 per cent installment on the consol loan
last week forced d considerable selling
CT consols at lower prices. but The appre-
hersiops of a shortage in money were
fairly dispelled by large government dis
bursements, and. as. there are no formid-
able demands on the market credit may
be expected this coming week. and mon
ey is likely to continue easy. Last week
the tone of stocks was erratic, but it
concluded cheerful. Two holidays within
the week caused light business.
American RAILROAD shares rose on New
York buying, and further Increases are
anticipated. British railroads fell in SYM
pathy with consols, and dividends are
not expected to more than maintain last
years figures.
Labor difficulties continue to contribute
to the weakness of South African shares.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.
Hardening in Price of Cotton Made
the Market Firmer.

Manchester, August I0.-Tn view Of the
hardening in the price or cotton, the
cloth market was generally firmer last
week. In some quarters higher rates are
anticipated shortly The bear contingent
is large but timid. The transactions in
cloth between bank holidays was APP
parently not large, although there has
been some increase latteriy at the pre-
viously unavailable prices, This slackness
is attributed to the high holiday season,
and to the fact that many dealers were
absent. The inquiry from india was mod
crate last week, and the inquiry from
China and JaIan showed no improve
lnent.
The small outlets are improving grad
uaily.
Yarns are made discouraging, although
steadior. Some lines of American quality
were placed for home consumption.

THREE THOUGHTS.

From the London Answers.
young and pretty woman entered
Charing Cross telegraph office the other
day and wrote out a dispatch to be sent
to Birmingham. She read it over, re-
fected for moment, and then dropped it
on the floor and wrote a second. This
she also threw down, but was satisfied
with the third and sent it off. The three
kilograms read:

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
1t is little children that lead cur feet
up the heavenly stairs.
Half the world falls into temptation and
the other half is tempted into falling.
The only time most people can save
money by not spending it is when they
haven't got any.
You can never make woman under
stand that a. crying baby in the bedroom
can break a mans rest as much as a
flock of mosquitoes.

sand dollars from a friend saves IN that
amount to pay it back, but GOES and

tinues to ride in street cars.

Here the patient rouses himself with

But the physician, being true to his eth
les, refrains from mentioning his charges
until the patient has regained strength.
