The approaching visit to the United

everywhere. not only because Of his
Official eminence. but for his piety and
learning and broad tolerance in faith
and practice can be taken as certainly
assured.
DR.. Davidson will have an opportu-
nifty to see and Judge with his own
eyes the effect upon religion here dur.
ing more than q hundred years. Of the
rigid separation of Church and State.
This. after all, is the unique institu-
tional contribution of this country.
Representative institutions in govern
ment have been worked with signal
success elsewhere, notably in Eng
land. Our laws themselves are avow-
edly founded upon EUROPEAN proto-
types and the people themselves are in
the main Of European stock. 1t was In
dealing with the office OF religion q
great departure was made, and is be-
ing maintained. The United States has
become the home of large number Of
churches that flourish in quite an UNI
exampled way. yet these acknowledge
no indebtedness to the State, nor the
wonder over the water. There they
have for centuries regarded 1t as in
dispensable to the welfare Of each or

the same would hold true Religion
has thrived here through the statutory
neglect of the State, and the State has
been lifted above and removed firm
all possible discords In fits admin.3tra-
tion growing out Of differences In

In commanding to the English Pri-
mate a study Of our Amertcan churches,
it will be proper. peSrap for our own
people to recall n n indebtedness that
must be gladly acknowledged. when it
is said that Englishmen with every
abatement that may be made. pre-
served certain noble temper in mat
tiers religious, serviceable to all. even
those who may differ in creed; and in
particular through the agency of the
Book of Common Prayer they set up a
literary ideal that has been of in
calculable value to the English-s speak
ing races. Coleridge. a competent
Judge, surely, said that after the Bible,
it is the noblest literary monument we

We doubt II many editors Of weekly
papers. especially the country week.
Hes. know how their sheets are appre-
ciated by persons away from their
homes where the papers are published.

missed one issue of his home paper and
wrote to the editor, saying:

do not. and often fail 70 come when
expected.
This is a matter that some papers
pay too little attention to. We re-
ceived some days ago a copy Of a
weekly published In . fiourishing little
Alabama town. and o careful examina-
tion Of its pages failed to show a sou-
tary item Of local news Of any kind.
Almost every inch Of It's, four pages
was printed In plate mattar. much OF

to those abroad. A person from that.
town or vicinity. absent for . time.
could learn positively nothing about
his home people or home affairs. A
paper from Kalamasoo' would have
been more interesting.
A paper conducted in that manner
has no right to complain Of lack of
patronage. This was an extreme case.
but we have others in mind which are
not very much better. It 10 not to be
expected that a country weekly can
obtain and publish the news Of the
world as the great city dailies can. or
that its editor Is so situated as to dis
cuss the important events of the day
as thoroughly as the editors in the
large cities can. for they lack the IA
cilities for obtaining information that
their more fortunate brethren have.
but that is not a matter Of so much
importance to a weekly as 1t Is to the
dailies Of the great cities.
The country weekly has a sphere of
it's own. where no other can compete
viva w. anu ~ ououiu tdho advantage
Of It. It should be the abstract and
brief chronicles OF the time" in its own
domain. II should record the births,
deaths, marriages and all other hap
penings of its town and neighborhood;
the movements Of prominent people.
and the various events that take place
in its part of the world. We have some
country weeklies on our exchange list
which are almost entirely filled each
week with local news, not only in the
town of publication. but from all por-
tons of the county. To a man away
from home, a copy of such a newspaper
gives more home news than a dozen
letters would. for 1t covers much more
ground and embraces more subjects.
These are the papers that are, and
ought to be, both popular and pros
porous.

ALEGAL CURIOSITY.

There has been for many years q
steady breaking away in all legal
forms from the technicalities of the
common law. Legislatures in all the
States have worked in the direction of
simplicity and certainty in the re-
quirements made of a legal craftsman
The textbook writer's themselves make
merry over the quips and quiddities. the
cumbrous and unending repetitions
that formerly characterized pleadings.
contracts and wills, and pleadings in
particular.
So it is with something of start
when one is brought face to face with
an indictment recently presented by "a
New York grand jury against ,wo-
man, charged with shooting a man to

What does the President think about
that? We are left to conjecture, but,
fortunately, we are not without light.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge says that
the mere mention of Canadian recipro-
city is an insult to this administration.
Maybe that is why the President re-
fuses to mention it, though there are
said TO be $4,000 Republican voters of
Massachusetts who persist in regarding
Canadian reciprocity as the paramount
issue of the campaign.
1t is true the President says he is for
the reciprocity advocated by Mckinley.
but how comes 1t that those reciprocity
treaties negotiated by the Mckinley ad-
ministration sleep the sleep that knows
no waking? Nobody can tell from the
Presidents speech what he intends to
do for reciprocity IL he Is elected.
He hastens over the race questions,
and says a word or two of platitude
that may mean nothing to the North
ern man with investments down South
and may mean everything to the negro
politician North or South.
We do not know from this speech
whether the President believes in
Crumpacker or disagrees with him.
He also talks about capital and labor,
and manages to say nothing.
It Is the speech of Candidate Roose-
welt, not Theodore Roosevelt.

Every portion of Alabama is adapted

at least enough to supply their fami-
lies all the year. and they ought also
to learn how to save it for winter use.
