BRITISH RELIGIOUS STATISTICS

The religious statistics of Great Britain
are compiled annually from the yearbooks
of the various denomina tons, and, as they
are given out by the church authorities
themselves, they may be regarded as au-
thoritative. The last report for 1903 shows
that the Nonconfornists have half the
churchgoers in England and more than
half the Sunday school scholars. the last
year bringing them an increase of 2S,G00
communicates and $4,000 scholars. The
Anglican church possesses 7,127, 1874 church
sittings, with about 100000 attendants,
counting communicates and Sunday
school scholars together. The free
churches have 100000 sittings, with
about 100000 attendants.

enough of haphazard roadmaking. It is

TO TUNNEL UNDER THE CHANNEL

. One of the results of the recent Anglo
French agreement is a renewal of the
scheme for tunneling the channel between
France and England. The London and
Paris Chambers of Commerce are leading
in the matter. It is nearly fifty years
since the tunneIproject was first put upon
practical basis Of experiment. but since
then the original estimate OF cost has
been reduced from $50, 900, 600 to $40, OoO,-
600.

"A Good Purpose.

In subscribing 100000 to the pro-
posed endowment of Manchester coli
lege, Mr.. George D. Dayton says that
he hopes the endowment will even
tually be made at least $4,000, 900. He
is reported as saying that he hopes
for such a large endowment because
he thinks there ought to be an institu-
ton in the twin cities like the Armour
institute in Chicago and the Cooper
institute of New York, and that Mac
alester college may be so enlarged as
to include in it's program work SINH
lar to that done by those institutions.
It is rather strange that Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul have no such institu-
ton. T he ] rnal has often
called attention to this grave hiatus
In our educational system. Certain
ly these two cities with their popula-
ton of 100000 and their large tribu-
tary territory have great need of a
technical institute that will give in
struction to boys and young men of a
mechanical turn of mind. American
industrial supremacy is largely due to
the technical skill of her engineers
and workmen. A high standard Of
skill in mechanics can be maintained
only by technical schooling. So, we
join with Mr.. Dayton in hoping that
Manchester college may eventually Sc
cure an endowment that will enable it
to take up the sort of educational
work he suggests.

The regents of the Iowa state university
have exonerated President Mclean and
dismissed two members of the faculty
who were most active in preferring
charges. College politics is about the
meanest kind Of politics, and when it
gets started in an institution it is almost
certain to produce very damaging results
if allowed to run. The action of the re-
gents in dismissng two of the most active
schemers against the president is an in
dication that they will expect the mem
bers OF the faculty to devote most of their
attention in the future to their respective
duties. President Mclean has many
friends here who will be glad to know
that the attempt to GUST him from his
position was not supported by the re-
gents and has failed.

The Harpers have published, with the
imprint of R. H. Russell, a notable book
Of poems by a child, little Julia Cooley
born in Connecticut and now living in
Chicago, entitled The Poems Of Child.
There is an introduction by Richard LIE
Caffeine, who was the 'discoverer' of
the youthful poet, quite accidentally,
when they were both making a summer
visit to the Connecticut valley. The
verses Of the little girl are said to be Of
intrinsic beauty and poetical value.
The Copper Handbook, the manual of
the copper industry of the world, for the
year 1903 will be found more complete
than any of it's predecessors. The sta
tistical tables and much of the other
material have, as far as possible been
revised and brought down to the close Of
1908. Additional revisions will be made
for the year 1905. The book is the author
ity on the industry.
The Mystic Mid Region, by Arthur +.
Burdick, is a book describing the wonders
Of the deserts Of the southwest and pic
turing them in excellent halftones. The
book is full Of accounts of strange things
perhaps none appealing to mans sense Of
the novel more than the story Of "a
Remarkable Harvest Field The crop
harvested is salt. The field is the heart
Of the Colorado desert which lies 265
feet below the sea level. The author says:
So plentiful is the natural deposit of this
necessary article that it is plowed with gang
plows, is scraped into windrows as hay is
raked in the field and, like hay, it is stacked
into heaps from the windrows. and is then load
ed into wagons and later into cars to be carried
to the reduction works
The book has handsomely designed
cover.

Judge Willis of st. Paul. is very coy
in his attitudea5toWaHd the governorship.
While reiterating his statement in the let
ter to Colonel Williams that he would
not become candidate if the "reorgan-
izers' gain control Of the national demo-
cratic convention, he says he is in no
sense candidate for the nomination, and
is not sure he would take it even if his
ideas prevailed in the national platform
However, Judge Willis has said enough
already. The democratic party of Min
nesota is not in the. habit of waiting for
a man to announce his candidacy for
governor. If the party wants him it will
draft him, and he does not need to say
another word. = A"& 81" Et

Gratis now as to available candidates for
governor, altho the nominating convention
has not been called yet. John A. John.
son of st. Peter would be general favor

repeatedly refused. 8 G. O. Baldwin of ,Du-
luth, who has been repeatedly mentioned.

that business would not permit him to
accept. Frank A. Day of Fairmont is
busy discouragings his boom. A number
OF other available men are mentioned
including Captain Harries of Caledonia.

and Frank D. Larrabee Of Minneapolis
Frank A. Day of Fairmont was in the
city to-day. He says the sentiment among
the second district delegates seems to
be largely against Hearst He is likely
to be one of the national delegates from
that district.
Elmer H. Dearth state insurance com
missioner. whose withdrawal from the
Dunn camp has caused so much com
ment. says the inference that he is really
for Van SAINT for governor is unwarranted.
So far as he knows, Governor Van SAINT
is entirely out of the race. He will not
take any further part in the contest, but
will remain neutral. AS to Mr. Dunn's
denial that he has ever attacked Gov
ernor Van SAINT, Mr.. Dearth says: Il
admit that he has never used a club,
but in nearly every one of his speeches
he has abused the governor roundiy, and
I cannot support him after that
