The Mission of the Archbishop of
Cant erbury.

The most significant remark made by
the Archbishop of Canterbury in his adj
dress to the Episcopal General Con-
vention on Thursday was this:
81 am here by your courtesy, to learn, rather
than to speak: to understand, II It may be, some
what more clearly than before the practical work
Ing OF such convenuon--such representative
Church council clerical and lay. has, in Its now
triennal gatherings served your Church so well for
100 years. and may appropriately be model and a
guide, in a large and general sense, for new de-
partures OF similar sort In other branches OF our
Communion"
This is significant because the main
motive Of the Archbishop's visit to this
country has been supposed to be de-
sire personally to observe and study
the working of an Episcopal Church
which is independent OF the State. in
view Of the not improbable disestablish-
ment of the Church Of England in the
comparatively near future.
The General Convention, meeting tri-
ennially, is representative of both the
clergy and laity, and consists OF two
houses, of Bishops and of deputies. .
It is the highest legislative body OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church in this
country. The canons for the govern
ment of the Church are adopted byit.
In the Established Church Of England
there is no counterpart to it. In each OF
the two provinces into which the Church
is divided there are 4Convocations," but
their power is almost wholly nominal
merely. Since 1884 they have been sub
ject to the Crown and to Parliament.
OF themselves they have no Legislative
power. They are summoned at the
Kings mandate. The Convocation may
make canons which bind the clergy, but
only with the consent of the Crown. The
King as head of the Church appoints or
dominates Archbishops and Bishops.
This is condition of things Of which
an increasing school of the Anglican
Church, of both the clergy and the laity,
are resentful. They feel that the Church
is outraged by being put under such
subsection, and main cause Of the angry
troubles in the establishment is this
objection to the submission of conscience
to State authority. Outside of the
Church there is the standing opposition
OF Dissenters to an established Church,
but if disestablishment comes, the forces
contributing most powerfully to bring it
about are likely to be within its own
ranks.
In this country, of course, every
Church is free to manage its own affairs,
lay down it's own doctrines and make
it's own laws. The Archbishop of Can
terbury will find that under that system
there is more and healthier Church growth
than in any country where there is con-
nection between State and Church.

1t is not probable that the Democrats OF
Wisconsin, when for the fourth time they
nominated the author Of -Peck's Bad Boy "
for Governor, could have foreseen the COM
plications- into which their Republican
brethren in the Badger State would be
thrown The local situation in Wisconsin
has some features which must strongly
appeal to PECK as humorist, II his faculty
of jocose appreciation survives his defeat
by $4,000 when he was last a candidate
for Governor.
The election statutes in Wisconsin, adopted
in 1890 and since amended, were all devised
by Republicans. They have been in I'M
restricted control of the Legislature for
many years. All the higher executive
officers are Republicans, The electoral
laws of Wisconsin have been applauded as
in the phrase of party platform, "blazing
the way" to electoral primary and caucus
reform for the whole country,
Upon the first practical and serious test
of their efficiency, the Supreme Court, by
a divided vote, has sustained one Of the
Republican factions in a decision which
Senator SPooNER, one Of the ablest Consti-
tutional lawyers in the United States and
the recognized leader in Wisconsin OF the
Stalwart or anti-La Toilette faction, is
quoted as saying does not decide the merits
of the Republican case, but merely defines
the power OF the State central committee
to decide disputes.
The decision OF the court leaves two
Republican State tickets in the field, with
a most unusual provision az to Presidential
electors, namely, that these electors can
not concurrently remain on the two Re-
publican tickets, even though both factions
of Republicans of Wisconsin are insistent
that they shall remain.

The Piers and New Works Prosperity

No municipal question before the city

in order to retain the patronage of the

A Market for Porto Rican Coffee.

1t js difficult to treat candidly the
serious condition OF the chief industry
of Porto Rico without seeming to under
estimate the unhappy situation of those
, dependent on the coffee industry for
their maintenance and without seeming
to reflect unkindly on the people of the
island. Both Of these errors we desire
to avoid.
In commenting on various articles
published in the Boletin MercnnM de
Puerto Rico we have sought to show at
least a. kindly and sympathetic interest
in the welfare of people for whom the
United States has, by it's own aot made
itself largely responsible. But If the
spirit manifested in some of the recent
issues of that periodical is typical of the
general insular sentiment, there is likely
to be to some extent a withdrawal of
American sympathy and interest. We
sean only hope that the Boletin is not
representative.
:The unhappy case Of many, perhaps
Of the majority, of the Porto Ricans is
Sreebgniaed here. We have given con-
sideration to suggested plans of relief.
] But the Boletin, which has made itself, or
has been made, a leading organ in the
coffee campaign, is getting on the wrong
track and is in danger of ditchng the
efforts of those whom it purports to repre-
sent. Nothing can DO gained by such
4 intemperate comment as this: DO we
!. not owe our ruin, our miserable and an
gyiished condition, to the United States?"
Admitting, as it unfortunately seems
necessary to do, the poverty and misery
of many of it's people, the island is not
yet ruined, and there are still means Of
escape from further disaster
Nor will the Boletin advance its cause
by such statements ps the following: at
Is the duty Of he hinerican people TO
buy our coffee in.preforence to that Of
other countries. II may be our duty to
. buy no sugar except that made from
domestic bcets, but we import more than
half OF our supply from foreign sources.
It may be our duty to wear no silks or
woollens except those made on American
I lboms, but here also we fail wofully in our
duty, as our import list clearly shows.

ing, claiming right, demanding the
payment Of a debt I'VE are entitled to

TRADE WITH CENTRAL AMERICA.

The United States Government has no
reciprocity treaties with Mexico or with
the Central American States. Yet, without
such aids to our commerce. and solely as
the result of American commercial activity
and an encouraging development OF those
countries, our sales in the region lying be-
tween the Rio Grande and the Chagres
river show a gratifying increase. This
appears In the statement OF exports for the
first eight months Of the present calendar
year. in comparison with the exports for
the same period in the preceding years.
Our sales to Mexico for those periods
have been az follows
1907. 1908. 1901
ST .s27.27a sa1.7ois27 sso,sas.7os
The records for the Central American
States appear thus:
1907. 1908. 1904.
ssO2oe7e 4e,ssts G,5s2, 545
This statement requires modification.
The figures for 1904 include Panama as
buyer Of s1,5OO,SS8. Prior to Jan. 1, 1904.
the purchases of that area were included in
our exports to Colombia. As very con-
siderable increase in our trade with Panama
hns resulted from the new conditions and
new relationship, we may, for our purposes
here, exclude the trade Of that country.
That would leave the sales OF 1904 to the
six remaining States as se,0S2, 1859, and
bring them into proper comparison with
the preceding years. This is 20 per cent.
increase over 1902, and 81 per cent in
crease over 1908.
A few lines OF merchandise show falling
off. This may be illustrated thus:
1907. 1908. 1901.
Agricultural implcmentsSis.ss $50 ss.sts T,Ss
Meat products. ........... 1919 l5,Si2 H,Io
The general list, however, shows a good
increase In some lines and a remarkable adj
vance In other lines. The gratifying feature
appears particularly In the fact of improving
sales in miscellaneous rather than in special
articles. This is shown by the following
items taken from the list:

An Installment Of Home Rule for
Wales.


Mr.. WYNDHAM, Chief Secretary to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, has an
nounced that the present Unionist Gov
eminent will not sanction the approach
to Home Rule advocated by the Irish
Reform Association which has been or
gained by the Earl Of DUNRAvEN and
other Irish landlords. We infer that the
Dunraven project will for the present
be abandoned but It Is likely to be re-
vived when the significance of the con-
cession lately made to Wales by the
>Balfour Parliament comes TO be thor
ouehly' appreciated. -, .
Thanks to the sagacious/ apd vigor-
Gus leadership Of Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE,
NJ. p, the Welsh members of the House
of Commons succeeded in securing the
assent of the Unionst Government to a
limited application of the principles of
self-government and decentralization,
the very principles which Mr.. WYNDHAM,
when rejecting the Dunraven propos-
ais for Ireland declared that the Min
istry to which he belongs would never
recognize. What Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE
obtained was the creation of Welsh
National Council to be elected on popu-
lation basis by the County Councils.
For the present the powers OF the Coun-
Gil are confined to administering acts
of Parliament. including the recent edu-
catonal act, to which Welshmen, most Of
whom are Dissenters, are vehemently
opposed. Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE demands
that the Council shall also be authorized
forthwith to deal with the question of
local option for Wales. He points out
that the treatment of this question at
Westminster afforded conclusive proof
that the British Parliament is out of
sympathy with the desires and inter-
ests of Welshmen, and too preoccupied
with imperial affairs to give adequate
attention to Welsh requirements. He
directs attention to the fact that al
though the Welsh representatives at
st. Stephens are five to one in favor of
local option, yet the bill permitting
local option in Wales never got, beyond
a second reading in Parliament Mr..
LLOYD GEORGE, for his part, can see no
reason why the Welsh National Council
should not dispose of all bills and pro-
visonal orders relating to Wales which
do not affect interests of imperial or
very great importance. He reminds
his fellow members Of the House OF Com
mons that the committee which sat upon
the bill providing a special procedure
for private Legislation affecting Wales,
though they reported against the meas
IRE, acknowledged thGt there was q
case made out for separate treatment
for the Princpality.
II, as is expected by almost all observ-
ers Of the drift of opinion in Great Britain
the Liberals shall have a majority in
the next House Of Commons. it is al
most certain that Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE,
who has made himself power in Par
lament and has welded the Welsh mem
bers into phalanx, will become men,
Der Of the Government. In that event
he will undoubtedly maintain that. since
even the Unionists have granted to Wales
q National Council, the least that the
Liberals can do will be TO add to its
powers. Welmsy assume that bill
~er,bodytne' such demand would be
