NEW SET OF RULES.
Clearing House Makes Arrangements
 to Control Trust Companies.

New York February 2.-It was an nounced that the clearing house com nlittee will recommend to the full association on Wednesday a new set of rules controlling the trust com ranies.
 The rules, in brief, will require all companies clearing through the asso- citation to keep a per cent reserve and provide for an increase of that amount by degrees at specified times until 10 per cent reserve shall have been reached. This maximum amount is two thirds of the reserve which the New York state laws compel stato banks to carry.

sOWELL'S FOLLY.

From the Florence Herald.
 The press all over the state is pro- testing against the provision in the Sowel bill. calling for an assessment of 75 per cent of the insurance carried on merchandise.
 It Is net at all probable that the bill will become a law, as with the personnel of the present legislature it seems impos- sible that any measure could pass which was calculated to injure and work an in- justice to so important a branch of the states industry as the mercantile busl- ness. There are found in every legisla- ture a few mossbacks who are "agin' everything that has any capital, and who believe that by injuring the business in- terests of the state they are benefitting the farmers, but this is not the case. An injury to one effects all to a greater or less degree. Under such a law the mer- chant would be compelled to pay a tax of 75 per cent on his stock or carry an inadequate amount of insurance. In either case he would be compelled to put up the price of his war.s to protect him self, and the extra burden would fall upon those who buy the goods.
 Should this bill become a law 1t is doubtful If it could stand the test of the courts, as any unjust discrimination in taxation is contrary to the constitution.

DISCUSSION OF NAME
 OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH

During ecent decision of the question at the Chur chmen's club of Providence the Rev. Dr.. Donald, rector of Trinity church at Bosthon, argued that change of name impXing that the Episcopal church is prrs-eminently entitled to be considered tn e American Catholic church" would be prejudicial to the growth of the church, which, in New England more especially. has been large ly from other Ch riistian bodies The same remark may be male of New York as concerns the soureesaof Episcopal growth. The gains made kherA have been largely, if not chiefly. frorn9Protestant denomina- tons. Dr. Donald opposed a change also on the ground that 1t would be regarded with suspicion which would interfere with the Christian llrity for which the Episcopal church is know protesting so much desire, movement which, we may add. is advocated Ivy the Churehman in the most liberal spi ait.
 A layman from Milwaukee took the other side very deei6eouy He argued for change of name to "The American Catholic church." Chief Justice stiness duNOCeileu lHe ulOpplNS' CH the description Protestant as "a figh ting name,9 in- dicative of discussion. disagreement" and making the title simply the Episco- pal church. the name by which already it is known in the conmcm speech. "If were starting out aneu7,''. he said, "the word Catholic in ,ouri title would not be objectionable, but thes word 'Epis- copap has become attacked to our church.
 These very radical differences of opin- ion as to the subject, made x1l1e more evi- dent as the discussion goesT on, seem to indicate that no change of nanAs is likely to be agreed on by the gener al conven- tion to be held at Boston inpAOetober Of next year. Other questions of more es- sential importance, the marriage and di- vorce question, for instance. are ,lilzey to osyershadoW it.

or the year 1902:

The year 1902 added more spindles to the country's stock than any pre- vious year except the years 1899 and 1900. The latter is the record year, but the year 1902 was a very good year, it's aggregate of new spindles being S62,576. Of projected mills" in 1902 fifteen are located in the south, and fourteen elsewhere.
 The table presented shows a large growth of mills in Massachusetts. More spindles were added in that state last year than in any other state in the country, and this is the most surpris- ing fact brought out by the Textile Worlds annual statement. As things now stand Massachusetts and the four southern milling states-North Caro- ina, South Carolina, Georgia and Ala bama-are running a race, the other states having been left at the post.
 The south as a whole is doing well in mill building The spindles added last year number 470,256, as against 25e, ,360 added in 1901 The prospect of another good mill construction year is excellent, and the figures of 1899 may be reached. The record of 1900 will long stand, however, unap- preached, for in that year over mill lion spindles were installed in the South
