A SENSATION in the political world
was created yesterday by the an
nouncement that Hon. David B. Hen
derson, Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, has declined a renomina-
ton for Congress from the third Iowa
district because of differences with his
constituents. Mr.. Henderson is for
high tariff. Many of the Republi-
cans in his district demand a revision
of the tariff, believing that reduction
Of the duties on articles manufactured
by the trusts will curb these insolent
combinations. This sentiment has
become so strong that Mr.. Henderson
felt that he was not in harmony with
the people of his district, and he there
fore declines to run for Congress.
This is a straw that shows the way
the political wind is blowing in the
middle West.

A NUMBER of the big men Of the
party, including Senator Hanna, SEN
ator Platt, Senator Allison and other
well-known leaders, had conference
with President Roosevelt on Tuesday.
1t was agreed that there should be no
attempt to revise the tariff at the
coming session of Congress, but the
President is to keep up his show Of
opposition to the trusts. 1t is thought
the people can befooled awhile longer
by the talk against the trusts, while
at the same time the trusts know they
have nothing to fear.

New Rector of Christ Church.

The Rev. William jackson Nor ton,
who, it is understood, has accepted the
call extended to him by the yestry of Christ
Church in this city, comes of an old and
prominent Virginia family, and was born
in Orange county, about thirty-fiye years
ago. His father, DR.. C. B. Morton Apply
stefan, now resides near Fredericksburg.
Mr.. Morton received his theological educa-
ton at the Theological Seminary near
this city and was graduated in the class
of 1891, in whose ranks are also found
Bishop Ingle of Hankow, China; DR..
Brown of the Brazil Mission of the Epis-
copal Church; Rev. Professor Mss.ie OF,
the Seminary, and Rev. E. NJ. Stires ID,
d.. rector of st. Thomas church, New
York city. Immediately after his grad
nation Mr.. Morton was ordained TO the
diaconate by the late Bishop Whittlc and
appointed to ST. Georges Chapel, North
Danville. After his ordination to the
priesthood by Bishop Randolph in 1892,
he accepted call to become assistant at
St. James Church, Richmond, where he
remained until 1894, when he be anne
rector of the Church of the Epiphany,
Knoxville. Tennessee. He returned to
Virginia in 1896 when he assumed the
rectorship of South Farnham parish,
Essex county, residing at the town ofTa2-
pahannock. In the fall Of 1900 he re-
moved to Harrisonburg, and became rec
tor of Emmanuel Episcopal church in
that place, which he has just resigned,
As has been stated, to accept the rector
shin of Christ Church in this city. Mr..
Morton married Miss Dora Moncure,
a daughter of Powhatan Moncure,
esq. of Stafford county, whose wife
Is sister of the late gallant Gen
eral Turner Ashby, of Confederate fame
Mr.. Morton is clergyman OF much
dignity of character, and is accounted
an efficient pastor and good preacher
From the excellent record he has left in
the positions he has so well filled, he
will soon establish himself in the affec-
tons and gain the high esteem not only
of the congregation of Christ Church but
also of all the people of this city
irrespective of church utilization. In
this connection it is interesting to
notice the loyalty Of the congregation
of Christ Church to the Episcopal
diocese of Virginia and the Seminary
near this city. Since the time of Rev.
DIR. Dana its rectOrship has been filled
by Revs. Cornelius Walker, d. d.,
afterward Professor at the Seminary; X.
II. McKim, d. D., now rector OF the
Church of the Epiphany, Washington,
d. c.; A. NJ. Randolph, ID. d., now
Bishop of Southern Virginia; W. Nj.
Dame, d. d., now rector of Memorial
Church, Baltimore; Henderson Suter, ID.
d.. who died as rector of Christ Church,
and Rev. Bergman Green, recently
elected to the professorship of the Eng
Iish Bible at the Seminary. All these
clergyman were educated at the Nlr-
ginia Seminary and when called to
Christ Church were in the Episcopal
diocese of Virginia. The same honor
able loyalty to her traditions has been
observed in the case of the Rev. Mr..
Morton.

called after Swithin, an old time Bishop OF
Winchester The story goes that when he
died he left instructions that his burial should
be in the churchyard, instead Of in the chan
eel along with the other bishops. His wishes
were carried out, but later some monks,
thinking il beneath his dignity to remain
out in the churchyard amcng the con-:
mon people. began to dig up the ground
about the grave preparatory to re moving his
10 ly to the chancel. However, no sooner had
they set spade to earth than it began to rain,
and poured in torrents for forty days there
after. The monks took it that they had re-
ceived gentle hint from heaven that their
labors were unappreciated, and thenceforth
81. Swithin was allowed TO have his own way
as to the place Of his sepulturc. The rain be-
gan on July IS, whence the old refrain;
"And ever. since, whene'er shower
