they should not be refused citizenship

of Westminster rubs along on f1,500,
why should the Bishop of Durham
have $1,000? Before churchmen sub
scribe to missions and clergy funds,
they might request the bishops to
consent to reduction all round of
their outrageous incomes.
From the earliest times bishops
We're greedy. When parochial clergy
We're first established, the tithes Of
each parish were divided into four
parts: one for the parson, one for the
church fabric, one for the poor, and
one for the bishop. TO get fourth
of all the tithes, as much, that is, as
all the poor of a parish had amongst
them, was little strong even for the
days of episcopal domination. 1t be-
came scandal when the bishoprics
secured endowments in addition, and
ultimately the share was taken away
and the tithes We're divided amongst
the other three objects.
When the pay is big, we have right
to expect some noble work to be done.
There is hardly one bishop alive who
can point to any useful achievement.
Where are the great books they have
written? When have they solved
problems of State? In the past the
church had Lightfoot, Dean Afford,
Dean Church, and few other authors
of distinction. Nobody reads the
writings of the bishops Of to-day. DR..
Alexander, the Irishman, is the only
orator-prelate. The Bishop of Here
ford is the only Radical. The Bishop
of London is magnified curate, and
the others are nonentities.
There are more than thirty ex--
bishops amongst us-bishops who
have resigned their sees for some rea-
son or another. But, with the ex-
ception of Bickersteth of Exeter and
Perowne of Worcester, all the thirty
were of the small-pay order. They
were bishops of Barbados, or Bombay,
or Ballarat. The $4,000 year class
rarely resign. They live on to a use
less, toothless old age, neglecting
their duties, except the duty of signing
receipts for their salaries. When
we'll wrapped up they may ride down
to the House of Lords, but that is only

ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.

In it's national platforms Of 1896 and
1000 the Republican party favored the
admission of the remaining territories
as states Of the Union, and yet when
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory seek statehood
it is denied to them by the Republic
can leaders in both houses of con-
greSs. For the past two months the
Republicans in congress have been
debating the fitness of these territor-
les for statehood. and Senator knute
Nelson, Of Minnesota, occupied six
days in reading Il speech against adj
hitting the inhabitants of New Next
co and Arizona to full citizenship be-
cause they are of Spanish descent and
speak the sonorous language of Cas-
tile instead of the Anglo-SaXon
tongue.
No objection was made to their ad-
mission on the ground of population,
for in 1900 New Mexico had 195.31O
inhabitants and Arizona 22.931, while
the state Of Nevada had only 1885
and the state of Delaware 1874 1855. In
point Of wealth and intelligence the
four territories are entitled to become
separate states and compare favor
ably with some western states when
admitted into the Union. Knute Mel
son and other Republican senators
want to join some Of the territories
together to form state and leave the
others out in the cold. They want the

Capt. John Shave Taylor.

Captain John Shawe-Taylor, to
whom belongs the credit of bringing
the landlord and the tenant represent
tatives of Ireland into a conference
about their mutual interests, is at
present in America, on a mission of
peace and goodwill. He was inter-
viewed at the Manhattan Hotel, New
York, on Jan. %, by a representative
of the Boston Pilot, to whom he gave
the following address,:
To the Irish in America,
Irishmen:-Ireland is to-day, be-
lieve. passing through one of the
greatest crises of her history.
For the first time, leading represen-
tatives of both tenants and landlords
have met together in conference. and,
after full discussion and careful con-
sideration, have agreed upon certain
broad terms as the basis of settle
ment, which, by enabling the tenants
to become the owners of their hold
ings. will end. once and for all. the
Irish Land Question.
These terms are now before the
British government, which is consider
ing whether or not they shall be
adopted and embodied in the new
great Irish Land Bill.

morn of that new era for which all
freshmen have so passjonately longed
will have at length dawned.
If the terms of the conference are
rejected, then, with equal certainty,
there will be fierce renewal of that
Irish land war which, while it has
for centuries produced hatred and bit
terness between all classes and Sec
tons of Irishmen, has also devastated
and laid waste what should be the
brightest and fairest spot in the civil
lied world.
Hence it is now, 1 believe, Of the
utmost Importance that the British
government should realize the enor-
nous responsibility that rests upon
them of taking advantage of this great
opportunity of restoring prosperity to
Ireland and Irishmen.
Therefore, in the highest interests
of our country, appeal to every Irish
man in the United States Of America,
Whatever his position, class or vOca-
ton to join with his patriots in
such united expression of sentiment
as will show plainly the feelings Of
the Irish race in America in the pre-
sent crisis and will also help to
strengthen the cause of those who are
now, whether tenants or land owners,
in Ireland striving to restore, without
injustice to either party, the Irish
land to the Irish people. 1 have the
honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient
servant,

THE NEW ENGLISH ARCHBISHOP.

A writer for Reynolds Weekly, who
signs himself "Gracchus," has not Il
very high opinion of the Scotchman
who has been appointed by King Ed
ward as Archbishop of Canterbury.
He says of him:
II DavidsOn's appointment is the
best choice, as public opinion says,
what poor lot the others must be.
Here is II cleric of no intellectual pre-
tcntions, not an orator, not II classic
scholar, not Il writer not even Il
theologian of any standing. Balfour,
who is responsible for the selection,
prctends to be keen about education,
and lie shows his kcenncss by pro-
noting Il man who only took IL pass
degree at Oxford. After all, Balfour
does not belong to the Church of Eng
land, and possibly he left the matter
in the hands of that dcvout church,
man and Defender of the Faith, Ed
ward VII. In that case, we under
stand the appointment, for Dr. David
son, although far from being a great
parsonage himself, has always been Il
friend Of great pcrsonages. AS Clerk
of the Closet to the King. he was a
success. AS preacher of sermons on
official occasions, he buttered every
body and offended none. remember
that he was at Windsor Castle when
the South Africa Commission was
asking for the Rhodes kilograms to
be produced. A few days later he
was the guest of Sir William Harcourt
ut Malwood. Can it be that he was
the intermediary employed by the
Queen to pacify the Liberal chieftain
and induce him to let the kilograms
vanish into thin air? If that SUPPOSE
ton be correct. it affords us IL speci-
men of DR.. Davidson's chief virtue
tact. The possession of tact it is that
has got him the Archbishopric.
Shrcwd sagacity is worth more to the
government, to royalty and clericalism
than mountains OF piety or carloads

Those who are outside the pale of
the State Church will perhaps not be
sorry that the see of Augustine is to

theology is of the mild order. Broad

THE FAMINE IN SCANDINAVIA.

A Cry OF distress has come from the
Scandinavian peninsula to the ears
Of the American people. A famine is
raging throughout a large district OF
Sweden, and about one hundred
thousand persons are on the verge OF
starvation. This great calamity that
has befallen the sturdy and industri-
GUS people of that frigid climate has
awakened sympathy in the hearts of
all Americans, and steps are being
taken to come to their assistance.
Last Monday in the Minnesota legis-
lature, Senator johnson introduced
a bill providing for an appropriation
of $4,000 for their relief, and in Min
neapolis some of the Leading citizens
are actively engaged in their behalf.
This is matter that requires prompt
attention and every citizen should be
ready to respond to the appeal for
the sufferers and contribute literally
of their means.
The famine in Sweden has followed
a flood that has inundated the coun-
try and destroyed the crops. During
the brief summer, rain poured down
in torrents from the northern skies
and kept on falling until winter set
in. The barley and oats and hay re-
manned uncut under the frozen waters
and half the cattle persisted. The
horses, too, died for want of fodder,
and the animals that survived are
being killed by the furnishing inhabi-
tants to save their own lives until aid
from abroad reaches them. Clothing.
food and money are needed to save
the people from death. The worlds
aid cannot reach them too soon. The
poor people are suffering the pangs
of hunger, and that is enough to eN-
cite the sympathy of all Americans i'll
this prosperous and happy land.
Shiploads of flour from the northwest
will undoubtedly be sent for their re-
lief. and the sooner the better. 1t is
Il case of life or death.
1t is said that the famine has eN-
tended into Lapland and Finland, and
that the people of these arctic regions,
who subsist chiefly on fishing and
hunting. are killing the reindeer by
hundreds for food.
The government of Sweden is doing
everything possible to alleviate the
distress. but Finland, which is under
the rule of Russia, appears to be en-
tirely neglected in it's afiliction. The
people of northern Europe have never
before appealed to the outside world.
They are not responsible for the sad
condition in which they find them
selves. It has not been brought about
by alien laws or landlord tyranny.
They are the victims of a calamity
which was unavoidable and over
which they had no control. 1t is the
duty of all American citizens of every
nationality to come to their rescue at
once and save them from destruction.
