BISHOP TURNER AND HIS UT
TERANCES.

The Washington. d. c. Post in
its issue of the 27th ult. seems much
wrought up over utterances accred-
tied to Bishop II. NJ. Turner reIa-
tive to the flag of the nation. It
says:
In New England fifty years ago
there were white citizens Of high in
telligence, liberal education, unques
toned integrity and eminent respec
liability who believed and declared,
in the most open, formal manner,
that the Constitution OF the United
States was a league with hell and a
covenant with the devil They
condemned the flag OF our Union in
unsparing terms. refused TO vote or
hold Office under either the national,
Serte or municipal governments, be-
cause their moral judgment forbade
them thus to acquiesce in that cove
nant and league. Their course was
most decidedly disapproved by at
least 80 per cent. of their fellow cit
liens even In Massachusetts. where
most OF them resided. Occasionally
their leaders were subjected to per-
soDai indignities In the shape OF
stale eggs and small stones. Even

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

The expected has happened and
the breach in the Republican Party
OF the nation has been made both
wide and deep. The action OF the
United States Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee in naming Senator
Benjamin r. Tllman OF South Car
Olina TO present the Hepburn Rate
Bill 10 the Senate is without a paral-
lei in the legislative history OF the
country.
No rebuke could have been admin
istensd 10 the President of the Unit
ed States that would have been more
singing in its nature and more hui
initiating in its adoption. At one
fell blow, il stamps him as over
riding his party and as forcing up
on a Republican congress all of the
nauseat'ng features Of a plank from
the Democratic platform. II en-
phasizes the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt
has thrown party discipline and
pledges 10 the winds and has de-
cided that there shall be but one
platform and that is the viii OF the
distinguished occupant of the White
House.
Senator Aldrich and his four Re
publican associates have certainly
given him a Roland for his Oliver"
and made him drink deeply from the
cup OF political humiliation. For
our part. we are Of the opinion that
the Democratic members Of the
committee in general and Senator
Tillman in particular showed very
poor judgment. They profted by
Mr.. Roosevelt's discontinue and
played well into the hands OF the Re
publicans. who sought his unlolng.
Had Mr.. Tillman declined the honor
and forced the same upon some
member of the Republican Party,
they would have shown surprising
sagacity and made possible the pas
sage OF this momentous measure.
AS the matter now stands. Sena-
tor Aldrich and his supporters NAV
rest assured that the measure is Sc
riously handicapped and loaded by
being In the custody OF Senator
Tillman. He is a man OF little skill
and no judgment. He is the ''blun
