has elected himself. Probably he will
not tell us, but il would be a great
advantage to know, who will be his
advisers The Democratic convention
appears to have been controlled in the
main by southern statesmen, whose
ability to govern the ocountry in a
just and broad spirit with due regard
to the larger interests of the people is
not fully demonstrated. They are
sectional in an extreme degree. Their
views Of equal rights, equal laws, and
the Interpretation Of the constitution
are peculiar. That Williams aud
Tillman, Champ CLARK and vsrdaman,
Bailey and Carmack are men of ability
may be conceded, without having sure
confidence that the country may wisely
be committed to the guidance OF men
whose notions of the enforcement of
the constitutional amendments are so
sectional and evasive. We shall hope
that Judge Parker will favor the citi-
zens with some definite statement con-
cerning the subject OF suffrage under
the amended Constitution. Is he a
northern man with southern princi-
pies, instead of broadly American
prinoiples, regarding freedom, educa-
tional opportunities and government
by majority of all the people under
laws that are not prosoriptive Of any,
merely on account of race or color,
contrary to the spirit and genius OF
American libertyp This is matter
as fundamental as the monetary stand
ard, and as certain to plague the ma
tion eternally until it is settled
right. ="

The third party ticket will be of
interest in the coming campaign only
in so far as they affect the results by
taking votes from the other parties.
There is not the least likelihood of
any man being elected to office at the
national election in November except
he be candidate on either the Re-
publican or Democratic ticket. The
Populist party, which in 1892 had
about million votes in it's grasp, is
practically dead. 1t sprang into be-
ing and swelled in membership be-
cause of free silver and few other
wild ideas. 1t elected Senators and
Governors and controlled. States. But
the Democratic party swallowed its
beliefs and made them its own and
the Populist party fast dropped into
littleness because it's reason for ex-
istence was gone. The other parties
never have amounted to anything and
have no prospects of amounting to
anything in the future. In 1900, out
of total vote of 1S, a6l, sos for presi-
Dental candidates, all but 1893, 597 bal
lots were cast for the Republican or
Democratic tickets, and there appears
no particular reason why the number
OF third party voters should be much
greater this year. There are four
presidential tickets in the field besides
those of the two great parties
Thomas e Watson, of Georgia. heads
the Populist ticket, With Thomas H..
Tribbles of Nebraska, for running

vania, and George W. Carroll, Of

tion party, Debs and landlord, Of the
Social Democratic. and Corregan and

1t is announced that James J. Hill,
late of the Northern Securities Com
pany, is going to vote the Democratic
ticket. He probably thinks that,
with the Democrats in power, he
would be free to make all the railroad
mergers that he pleased without in
reference from the federal govern
ment, and he is undoubtedly right.
He does not approve of Roosevelt be-
cause Roosevelt saw to it that the
Sherman antitrust law was enforced
against the company that Hill was so
much interested in. Hills avowed
preference for Parker ought to give
Roosevelt many votes.

EPISCOPAEiANS TAKE
UP LABOR QUESTION
This After Further Consideration of
the Divorce Canon

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 19.-An at
tempt was made today by the commit
tee on claims of the Episcopal house OF
deputies to arrange a compromise pc
tween that body and the house OF Dish
OPS. The bishops had adopted an
amendment forbidding the renarflage
of divorced persons, while the deputies
had declined to accept so rigid a pro-
vision. Notwithstanding the fact that
a. majority of them took stand SINH
lar to that of the house of bishops.
The committee on canons offered a
resolution compelling divorced persons
seeking remarriage to wait one year
after the decree of the court had been
issued before the solemnization of the
ceremony. BY this resolution, which
referred to the innocent person in di-
vorce for infidelity only, it was hoped
to secure at least a temporary agree
ment between the two forces. The
divorce issue was made a special order
for tomorrow.
The deputies devoted a large part OF
the day to the consideration offthe re-
quest of several dioceses for permis-
sion to use the revised version of the
Bible in churches. When the house
was divided the request was refused
by a majority of both clerical and lay
delegates. In the house of bishops
Bishop Henry c. Potter, of New York,

DIES MONIES. Iowa, Oct. 1s.-The
National Congregational council to-
night placed itself on record as op-
posed to Chinese exclusion, declaring
that it was wrongful discrimination
against the Chinese in the face OF the
unrestricted admission of undesirable
immigrants from Europe and other
Asiatic countries. The council voted
to hold the next triennial session IN
Philadelphia.
Closer union and federation with the
Methodist Protestant and the Uhltea
Brethren churches was voted by the
council. This consummates the laoorS
of twenty years in Congregational
ranks for such an end. The council
voted to name a committee to devise
nlans for educational work, especially
in the South among negroes and noun
tain whites.
Today's sessions were devoted chief
" to the interests of the Home Mis-
sionary association, whose annual
meeting was also held. Rev. Nehemiah
Boynton. D. D.. of Detroit, was elected
president of the society. The annual
reports were presented. This evening
an address was delivered by Rev Ly-
man Abbott, of New York, on The
Spiritual Life and Religious Educa-
ton There have been proposals look
ing to q union of some of the semi
naries in New England, but reports
presented today were adverse to any
such union and advocated the main
tenance of the institutions where they
now are and the hearty support OF
them by all Congregati ationalists.

PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 19.-Gov. Her
reid after reading an article in regard

expressed his dissatisfaction at the fact
that the team was characterized as
Coyotes" His designation for the
state is Sunshine state" and he does
not like either the name "Singed Cat"
which some one attempted to fasten on
the state some time ago, nor that of
Coyote" which appears to be more
commonly used. The governor said:
Even the educators of the state,
when they attended the national asso-
citation meeting at Boston last year,
went wearing badges bearing the pic
ture of a coyote, when they of all peo-
pie should help to bring into use the
more appropriate and much better
name of Sunshine. l believe that the
state institutions should assist in
bringing the better name into common
use. and believe that they will do so II
they consider how much better it would
sound.
