The Episcopal Convention.

Boston, Oct. 19.-The principal
feature in the Episcopal Convention TO-
day was the report on the new canon re-
gulating marriage and divorce, passed yes
terday by the House ofBishOps, in which
the committee asked concurrence by the
House of Deputies. While there were
several changes made in the phraseology
Of each section of the proposed canon,
the principal amendment is that which
demands that all divorced persons seek
log re-marriage be compelled to wait
one year after the decree OF the court,
before the solemnizing Of the church
ceremony. After debate, q motion that
the matter be made a special order o.

Senator German is in hard luck.
He is afflicted with a consuming de-
sire for the Democratic Presidential
nomination, and is equally DESTROYS
of some great issue upon which to
stand. He first felt the public pulse
on the race problem, and was given
no encouragement. He next turned
his attention to the canal treaty, and
undertook to make it political is
sue. His colleagues in the Senate
utterly refused to aid in such a
scheme, and Mr.. German must look
elsewhere for an issue.

The ratification of the canal treaty
now seems more than probable, and
in the meantime the Columbian peo-
pie are preparing to invade Panama
with an army of ten thousand men.
When that army camps upon Pana-

with a "dull, sickening thud." That
same thing will be Uncle Sans
boot heel. ~

The Democrats in Congress are
kicking because the administration
has conceded the Isle of Pines to
Cuba. That is not very gracious
thing to do since they are respon-
sible for the Teller resolution which
lost Cuba to the United States.
And yet we are entirely in sympathy
with the Democratic contention in
that the Isle of Pines should belong
to us. We have always claimed
that the Teller resolution was the
acme of folly. Had it not been
passed Cuba together with the Isle
of Pines, would now be part of
the United States.

The assistant attorney general re-
Gently started out for the purpose of
rallying the truly good around the
reform flag-pole, and incidentally
booming himself as candidate for
Congressional honors in the third
district. While on his trip he took
occasion to add to the unsavory
reputation of the attorney generals
office by slapping a gray-haired old
veteran in the face. There is moth
ing like having plenty of dignity
and respect for law in the law de-
partment of state government that
is honey-combed with reform. AS
a Congressional candidate who is
con his muscle" the assistant attor-
ney general will shine.

1t takes all sorts to make world.
1t is the assumed province of some
to be "agin" everything proposed
by others. 1t is noticeable that on
every annual occasion when bill
comes up in Congress to make an
appropriation for the distribution of
rare seeds some lawyer representa-
tive in the House is "agin" it. Per-
haps he is working in the interest of
the seed merchants! Certain farm
papers also oppose the distribution
of seed. You will notice that every
last one of these papers that opposes
the distribution of free seeds carries
a number of advertisements of seed
merchants. These seeds are in
tended for the benefit of agricultur-
lists. Does this class do any kicking
about the seeds? The opposition of
lawyers and farm papers carrying
seed advertisements is in mighty bad
taste. 1t is also very sthin."

In writing these letters from "Out
West" the ninth and last of which
is published to-day, we have aban-
doned the beaten track of person
al narrative with the minute and in
consequential details Of an itinerary
and mentioned only such things en-
route as would be of interest to the
public. 1t is probably source of
qualification to the pride of the ordi-
nary egoist to tell the public the pet
ty details of his personal experience
but the general reader will skip it,
or peruse it with ennui or sardonic
grin. Few care to know the exact
minute when fellow leaves one
station and his arrival at the next;
how many telegraph poles he coun-
ted in the interim; where he stopped
for dinner; whether his beefsteak was
tough in the positive, comparative,
or superlative degree; whether the
coffee was sweetened to his taste;
whether his dinner agreed with his
digestion, or whether or no he had
any dinner.
AS to the statement of fact, we
have spoken of things as they ap-
peared to US, with the intention to
Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice
The manifest inadequacy of the
letters may be laid partly to the stu
alton. In railway journey through
the country one sees and knows COM
paratively little of the surroundings.
What most profoundly impresses
one in journey through the great
west is it's immeasurable vastness.
The swarming millions may come
with advanced appliances and dig
and delve in these mines and forests
and fertile soils for centuries and not
exhaust the resources of this bound
less empire. The advice of Horace
Greedy to young men fifty years ago
to ego vest is pertinent still.

The law department OF Gov. La
Follette's reform administration is
giving US some interesting examples
of reform. The attorney general is
charged with having opened pri-
vate letter addressed to another per-
son, and then procuring its publica-
ton in a Milwaukee newspaper.
The matter is in the hands of post
office inspectors. The assistant at
torney general is charged with mon
keying with railroad pass furnished
by one of the naughty railway cor
-porations which La Toilette insists
is making life burden. If the as
sistant attorney general knows as
much law as he ought to as an in
cumbent of that office he should
know that an official Of his rank is
prohibited by the constitution from
using a railroad pass. "Anti-pass"
was one of La Follette's very active
hobbies, but at the hour of going to
press we have not learned that legal
proceedings against his assistant at
torney general have been ordered
by the reform. How would it do
for the La Toilette chorus to muff1e
its sreform" notes for few weeks
pending repairs in the law staff of
the music?

distance of over GOO miles, is
given up almost exclusively to cat
tie ranching. Here grass is good,
but water scarce. tits in the region
of the "chinooks," which modify
the rigors of the climate in winter
and melt the small amount of snow
that falls so that the cattle can get to
the grass almost continually. East
of Moose Jaw the agricultural area
begins and from this point TO the
eastern part of Manitoba a good
deal of grain is sown. North AL
berta and Saskatchewan, through
which runs the Saskatchewan river
and its numerous tributaries and
where there is considerable timber,
seem to get larger amount of
moisture than the southern part of
the Northwest Territories. A glance
at the map will show us that the
Rocky mountains toward the north
trend to the west so that where the
Canadian Pacific energies from the
range the eastern terminus of the
range is only half as far away from
the Pacific as it is where the North
ern Pacific enters the range from
the east. AS the mountains trend to
the west the ranges gradually recede
in height SO that breezes from the
Pacific ocean reach the plains in the
latitude of northern Alberta, modi-
flying the climate and depositing
more moisture-snow in winter and
rain in summer.

ANARCHY IN COLORADO.

Failing to elect Peabody on the
eighth of November, the Republicans
of Colorado are trying to elect him
through the Supreme Court route.
That court has given it's first decision
in favor of Peabody. The plan is
to throw out enough Democrats elect
ed to the Legislature to enable the
Republicans to count in" Peabody.
They have the courage of their viii
lainy, and will carry out their pro-
gramme if the courts will give them
half chance.
The commencement of the troubles
in Colorado will be found in the en-
ployment of a large corruption fund
by the mine-oWnerS to defeat labor
legislation in the General Assembly in
Colorado. That was the first crime.
Some labor men were guilty of a
diabolical crime and deserved hanging,
but, instead of executing the murder
ers, Peabody deported labor men who
had no connection with the crime
without shadow of legal right. But
he didn't deport enough to defeat his
opponent, and it is now proposed to
steal the Governorship in 1904 as the
Presidency was stolen in 1876.
