by passing resolution instructing the treasurer of the board of missions to pay over his fund upon the order of the bishop. A wonderful spectacle to behold the bishop of the diocese. one day when 1t suits him. a sticl<ler for the enforcement of an unimportant canon to the extent of driving hundreds of good church people from him. the next day when it suits him threatening to remove from office inside of five mnutes" an officer elected by the council for no other purpose than that such officer refused to violate the plain provision of the canon upon his demand 1! To what would such a system lead if al- lowed to go on? I here hazard the state ment that history does not afford one single instance of a case where public funds brought into existence lay the vol untary offerings of community of in terests are attempted or allowed to be managed, controlled, or even disbursed by the ipse dixit of any one man, but that such attempt is marked from beginning to end with absolute failure. Not only with failure, but with the severest crit icisms and oftentmes scandal growing out of the mode and manner, the time and the place of, and the person or persons to whom it is claimed such funds have been paid We cannot reasonably hope to mark an exception in history. No wise man will take voluntarily upon himself such a task nor will he ever allow 1t to be placed upon him by others.
 It is not my purpose or desire in this or elsewhere to make any attack upon the board of missions. Nor is it my pur- pose or desire to make any attack upon the bishop of the diocese. I disclaim any such purpose or desire. If any such a disposition has ever possessed me. which I here deny. it has passed entirely away and there now remains in my heart noth- ing but a feeling of profoundest pity and commiseration. not only for the bishop himself but for the diocese as we'll In that all that I hear. see and know. but demonstrates the fact of the utter inabil- ity of the bishop to cope with the duties and responsibilities of his office. What I would alone attack is the evil of a sys- tenn which seems to be creeping into our church organization. and which if not checked will soon destroy all interest in the church. if if has not already in a measure, destroyed 1t.
 In conclusion if it be said that the calling attention to such evils Is unusual and at first blush appear to be unkind, I grant if. If it be asked what good to the church is expected to be ac- complished by if. I answer with equal as- surance that. if it be a fact that this tendency exists and of which there seems to be no possible doubt. then the calling attention to them is not only a duty we owe to the diocese. but a kindness to the bishop himself For it may be possible that he will so see it. and will be in- duced 10 saw: "T did not see or realize 1t before. but I now see it.

Brighton Is Prospering.

Brighton is having a building boom.
 During the past month it is estimated that
 over fifty handsome residences have been
 built in this thriving city. Especially is
 East Brighton, along the banks of Valley
 Creek, building up rapidly. The prospects for Brighton securing a waterworks and an electric light system
 are very bright. A charter has already i been granted for a company to build a waterworks system to bring water from Parker springs.
 The electric lights will be furnished by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 During the last year a considerable sum of money was expended by the city for street improvement.

7:S5, as Walthour never had to call for speed in order to defeat Caldwell. The second heat was made in GIT and Wal thour called for speed all the time. IG was a neck and neck affair and Moran lost by only POO feet in five miles. The race tonight will be thirty miles. in three ten mile heats and should be the best ever seen here. Moran is in better condition than ever before in his life, as evidenced by the race last night.
 The amateur event last night went to Allen in 2:13 for the last heat, with Car avello close second. Stubbs won a one mile motor race against Jenkins. The two riders put up good race for one mile.
 The race which will be witnessed tonight between Walthour and Moran Is similar to those which will be seen on all the big eastern tracks after the first of June. when Walthour and Moran are scheduled to meet once a week.

Just as the last lap of the first heat between Caldwell and Walthour was be- ing run last night at the Coliseum before a crowd of 1000 people. Caldwell's wheel struck the roller on the pacing machine and he fell heavily to the track.
 Fortunately the rider was not seriously injured by his fall. His arm was sprained and his side bruised, but the injuries are not dangerous. He will be able to ride in few day Moran took Caldwell's place in the second heat and put up one of the best exhibitions that he has ever made against Walthour.
 Walthour won the first two heats and the race. He had Caldwell easily beaten. but he was never able to lap Moran in the second heat. Judging from that heat Moran will give Walthour the race of his life when the two meet tonight at the Coliseum.

AT one Of the ports where we stopped
