THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

At the close of the fifteenth day of the
Episcopal General Conference, in Bos-
ton, the House Of Bishop and House of
Deputies were still at variance on Satur-
day on the question Of marriage and di-
vorce.
The issue will be taken before the lat
ter body today for the third time during
the convention, the bishops having de-
clined to accept without amendment the
compromise measure adopted by the dep.
ulies Thursday.
As compromise the deputies amend
ed the original canon so that the inno-
cent person could not be remarked in
the church within one year after the d.
yorce.
The House of Bishops Saturday amend
ed the compromise so that the bishop of
diocese will not be required to issue
license for the remarriage Of the inno-
cent person, even should the court evil
dence be satisfactory; but will be merely
called upon to declare in writing that, in
his judgment the case of the applicant
conforms to the requirements of the
canon.
Rev. DR.. II. G. Duncan, of Alexan-
dria, La, in presenting the report on the
State of the church said the church was
the friend of both capital and labor, and
that she stood ready at all times to as
sst both in maintaining peace. The
committee Endorsed the work of the
church association for the advancement
of the interests of labor. A decline in
family worship and in individual piety,
the neglect of Christian education for
technical education, fragrant disregard Of
Sunday observance, and the danger lurk-
ing in the sensational character of much
of the present day literature, were de-
Dlored by the committee and members of
the church were admonished to avoid
these evils.
The house accepted the report and
voted to request the bishops to issue a
pastoral letter at the close of the conven-
ton on Tuesday next.
A new canon seeking to improve the
missionary regulations of the church, re-
ported by conn ttee Oil canons, was
adopted by the deputies. A clause COM
pels all churches to make a contribution
at least once year to the mission board.
1t appears that 1900 parishes failed to
contribute to missions last year.
Among the large number of revised
canons adopted was one enjoining the
observance Of Sunday. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
All persons within this church shall
celebrate and keep the Lords Day, COM
monty called Sunday, by regular partici-
patton in the public worship of the church,
by hearing the Word of God read and
taught, and by other acts of devotion of
works sand charity, using all godly and
sober conversation.
The old canon did not specifically state
tn, persons should attend Sunday serv-
ices.

The Fall River Strike.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. Pat is
just three months ago today that fifty of
Fall Rivers cotton mills made vain at
tempt to start up, with the enforcement
of ~! per cent reduction in wages, and
from that day to this not wheel has
turned in them and the prospects are as
dubious as when the trouble first began.
1t is estimated that operatives have lost
81, 905, 900 in wages, while the loss to
the mills in broken contracts, &c. is i'm
measurable. Should the mills start up
in the near future the prOprietors will
find that many of their former customers
ere patronizing other mills. Last week
there were more than 800 calls for as
sistance at the local overseers Of the poor,
the greatest number in the history of
the city. 1t is estimated that probably
l6, 600 have gone elsewhere and found
work,

Judge Parker.

Esopus. n. Y, Oct 24.-"Campaign
practices aud abuses" was the subject
of the speech delivered at Rosemount
this afternoon by Judge Parker to four
visiting delegations, aud some neighbors
and friends. In the course of it he de-
clared that the officers of the govern
ment, under republican rule, have been
frequently chosen by the managers of
the great corporations, who in turn con-
tributed vast portions of their business
assets to the conduct Of the campaign of
the party, whose leaders they have sub
sidized and whose official acts are often
fagrantly directed towards the private
interests of the trusts.

Cause of IOckiaW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiiuliy
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes such injuries to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t is

JuDGE PARKER delt sledge' hammer
biows at the trust tariff Saturday. IN
urping a necessity for revision upon the
600 club delegates from New York who
visited him at Rosemount. 1t was TIE
longest speech he has attempted since
his formal notification and demonstrated
in A most convincing way his thorough
and comprehensive grasp OF every detail
in the defects of the protective doctrine
under republican rule. Judge Parker
did not mince his words, but spoke IN a
straightforward way. His first utter
ance that, inasmuch as the law puts the
tariff benefits exclusively in the hands
of the capitalist and provides no means
for giving the wage worker his share,
was the virtual acknowledgment OF a
system that let the government take care
of the rich and the rich take care OF
the poor, was cheered 10 the echo by
bis visitors. He demanded a revision
that will benefit the masses, and said the
law of republican rule puts the Dement'S
of protective system exclusively in the
hands of capitalists. He showed that
there was no share for the wage worker
and declared that trade interests have
supplanted principle in government and
that the only remedy lies in democratic
control. No declaration Of the candi-
dates speech was cheered mort heartily
than his protest against the men who
make the unjust tariff laws and then
''stand pat whenever anybody proposes
TO repeal or modify them.

Z SECOND part OF the Democratic
1t Book, which was given out last
6eek, calls attention to the fact OF the
tariff aud the trusts in increasing the
cost of living and in keeping down the
rate of the workingman's wages. The
statisticians show that wages have de-
clined in the last few years s or 10 per
cent, and they add that 29S trusts have
been formed since the Dingley tariff
was enacted They properly charge that

aged with such articles as nutmegs, pep

RUssIAs Baltic fleet has caused the
greatest sensation in attacking and sink
ing English fishing boats, and the out
come of the strange act is awaited with
interest. So tar as can be seen, no good
reason has been given for the procedure,
and that England will naturally demand
a prompt explanation, apology Snd heavy
indemnities is inevitable. 1t is suggested
that those in charge of the fleet were in
fear of mines and torpedo boats, but the
fact that the feet scrutinized the fishing
boats with their searchlights and subse-
0uently opened deadly fire upon them
must dispel the theory that the boats
we're mistaken for hostile craft. 1t has
been a long time since the North Sea

federate steamer Alabama and the Kear-
sage occurred over forty years ago, since
which time those waters have been tran
ouil. 1t has often been said that before
the trouble between Japan and Russia
shall have been brought to close other
nations will become involved. There
have already been several narrow es-
capes by strained relations growing out
of the seizure of vessels belonging to
neutral nations. This last act, how
ever, is more serious than any, as the
Russian feet has entered British waters
and destroyed lives and property.
