The Presbyterian General Assembly.
On Thursday at Surntomi American
PrtsliytorlaiiH will take up the ttauso of
popular Interest which American Meth
odism Is preyurliiK to relinquish ut
Cleveland. In other words, the atten
tion of the religious world will be tratui
ferred eastward to the Presbyterian
general usxeinbly, where it Is now
expected that the public will witness
a repetition tif the animated debates
which have characterized pi eceiiins as
semblies, during the past live years.
The Irrepressible Hi'Ibks Issue is due
for another leap Into public promin
ence, and the news columns may be
expected soon to bristle ukuIii with the
brltrht points of theologians lu battle.
For the purpose of refreshing the
memory of laymen It may be noted in
way of brief review that the HiigKS
Issue first reached the general assem
bly at Detroit, in lX'.U. when the election
of Dr. Ui'Ikrs ns professor of biblical
theology in I'nlon Theological seminary
was disapproved. The basis of this dis
approval was the address which Dr.
Hrlfigs had delivered on Jan. 20 of that
year, upon assuming the duties of his
professorship. In that address he held
substantially that reason Is a fountain
of divine authority which may and does
savingly enlighten men, even such men
as reject the scriptures um the authori
tative proclamation of the will of (lod;
that the church can save, apart from
the scriptures; that the original text
of the Holy Scripture contains errors;
that Moses did not write the Penta
teuch; that !salah dXl not write
"Isaiah"; and that sanctlilcation Is not
complete at death. Among the utter
ances of Dr. llrikgs In this address to
which special exception was tuUen were
the following:
"Divine, iniiliorlty has been no encased
Intheuullioillyof popes and council, prel
ates an. I priests, ecclesiastics anil theolo
gians, that multitudes have been unable
to discern It. Men of deep spiri
tual Insight may be able to force their
wuy through these obstructions and llnd
tied i splie of tiein. Hut to men of the
temperament ami environment of the av
erage educated Protestant such an ex
perience Is illllleult if not Impossible.
The vast multitude of men are
guided by (lod through (he forms of the
reason, without their having any con
acloutmess of tils presence or guidance.
The ttllile.hns no magical virtue In
It, and there Is no halo un loslni; It. It will
not stop a bullet any better than a mass
book. It will not keep oil' evil spirits bet
ter than a cross. It will not guard n home
from lire half to well as holy water. If
you desire to know when mid how yo I
shall take a Journey, you will llnd a safer
guide In un uliuaiuic or a dally newspaper.
The Milile Is no better than hydromain v
or witchcraft, if we setk for divine gulii
ance by the chance opening of the book.
The Itible, as a book. Is paper, print and
binding nothing more."
The later stages of the Hrlg.ss "heresy
hunt," as the sieoular press Irreverent
ly dubbed It. are mentlonnblc in the
following chronological order: In ISM,
at Portland, Oregon, I'nion seminary
took steps leading to the breaking of
the compact which had been In force
between It and the assembly for moro
thnn twenty years. At Washington, sn
1893, Dr. llrlggs was suspended from
the ministry and the assembly disa
vowed responsibility for the teaching
of Vnlon seminary. In 1881, at Sara
toga, an effort was made to bring all
of the seminaries of the church under
direct control of the general assembly,
and making It lmnosslble for un In
stitution to break loose from the as
sembly without forfeiting its property.
At Pittsburg, last year, the Presby
tery of New York was enjoined not to
receive under Us care young men study
ing In tfnlon seminary or 'proposing
to study there. The assembly went
farther than that; and requested its
committee on conference with the the
ological seminaries to Inquire Into and
report to the coming general assembly
ns to the rlirhts of tip? Presbyterian
church In the United States of America
In the propertynow held by the Union
Theological seminary In , the city of
Now York, and to report what meas
ures should be taken to enforce those
rights.
It Is this phnse of the question which
Is expected to make the forthcoming
general assembly Interesting. There
Is a pretty general belief that the sem
inary did not act altogether honestly
when It broke loose from the assembly
and carried with It moro than a mil
lion of the endowment which had come
to It by reason of its unquestioned fit
ness during prior years as a Presbyter
Ian Institution. Legally Its right to
this endowment may be Impregnable,
although there; Is considerable talk of
carrying the case Into the courts. '-But
morally the Impression Is widespread
that the seminary's course was scarce
ly honorable, v The friends .of the aemJ
Inary, however, assert that the semin
nry It still rresbyterlan, bince all the
members of It faculty, excepting Pr.
Iiriggs, are approved divines, and Us
directors ure all members of the Pres
byterian ministry ir tncmbfra of the
Presbyterian church. Hut the force
of this argument was weakened by lust
y.ar's virtual repudiation 'of Union
eeminary by the supreme council of
the church.
It Is noteworthy, ns a general obser
vation arising lu this direction, that the
Protestant churches its a group just
now are uncommonly free from th. dis
position to pursue theologians for dif
ferences of interpretation. The lii lggs
issue seems to have exhausts d this
tendency fur a time. Km rgy Biems at
present to be concentrated more on
eSTuits to diffuse the spirit of Chris. Ia;i-
ity than upon schemes of creating dis
sension over comparatively unlmport
unt differences us to its letter. It Is
Well.

Unfortunate All 'Round.
President Kllot. of Harvard, huvii.g
been censured bv the Illlnoi-: Orand
Army encampment for his alleged
Ilclency in patriotism, makes reply as
follows: "Of course I shall not lOti
ccrn myself about It at till. It Is iiliuttt
as nearly fair us on- lun expect lYom
such men men who arc always: look
ing for an 'opportunity to pass ui'.vetse
criticism upon a public speaker's vb-w.i
of what they call patriotism. No poli
tician, particularly no member of cin
tvicss, dares to speak his m'nd regarding-
an organization which does little
ii'oie than get what money it can from
the government."
'i lie action of the veterans was per
haps unnecessary. If not Ill-advised.
While there Is much In the public Ut
terances of the president of Durvard,
which may with propriety be criticized,
his views being sadly wuiped In many
directions. It Is doubtful If It was In
good taste for the Illinois encampment
to make a personul nttack upon Mr.
Kllot by questioning bin fidelity ns a
citizen. Pad as some of his beliefs may
be twisted, Mr. Kllot Is still one of the
foremost educators of our time, and a
mat. wln.se personal Integrity and sin
cerity are above suspicion.
At the same time. If his crltliM were
ci table, 1'ie.lil.nt Kiiot's retort shows
that ho cun himself be guilty of se
llout Indiscretion In speech. Ills fling
ut the Grand Army comes with p r
grace from a man whos. position and
influence have come, In the course of
Mars, to stund for anything but posi
tive Americanism. That one body of
veterans In u hurrah convention werj
misled Into an unwise nttack upon him
self afford!' a very Inadequate excuse
for the offering by the executive bend
of America's greatest university to
the Kieat majority or the nation's v t
ctun defenders of a dtiect and poiptid
Insult. President Kliot, when h.' Flnv
tneis down, will be ushamed of h!m
si If.
Senator Quay denies the soft Im
peachment that he has vice presiden
tial aspirations. He objects to being
embalmed.
.
Watterson on the War-Path.
Those who talked with Henry Wat
terson during his visit to Scranton last
winter will doubtless recall the empha
sis with which the distinguished Ken
tucky Journalist and orator approved
President Cleveland's Venezuelan mes
sage not, as he said, that he pretended
to know very much concerning the Im
mediate points at Issue down In Vene
zuela, but because, us a general propo
sition, some such robust sounding of the
Yankee tocsin was needed to awaken
contemptuous und indifferent Euro
peans to the fact that the United States
Is a country which merits respectful
consideration.
In the meantime. Colonel Watterson.
with his charming family, has gone to
Kurope and has begun to write charac
teristic letters back to the Courier
Journal. These letters are chock full
of exultant spreadeaglelsm. They
would scarcely do for perusal at an In
ternational arbitration convention. Hut
they ut all events are decidedly pictur
esque and Interesting, which ought to
warrant us in making a quotation.
Writing from Purls on April :i0 Just
whut Inspired the outburst does not ap
pear he observes:
Mr. Cleveland lmlldtvl very much wiser
than lie knew In Ills Venezuelan messaiie.
Whatever his motive may have been,
and luiwever limited his perspective, he
called "the despots of Kurope" down and,
reminding them of the existence of the
Anierienii Union, served notice upon them
that, hereafter hi human affairs, tlcit
Union will have to be reckoned Willi
Inst. The si k to the nerve-centers of
monarchy was Instant and prodigious. The
Indignation und outcry knew no bounds.
Hut the president of the I nlted Slates,
sitting calmly In the while house, might
observe to the noisy protestants. as
.'Jansy Sniffles on a certain ne. psloii ob
served to his recalcitrant critter, "You
may kick and you may jump and von
may prance, but I kin hold you, gol ding
you, I kin hold you!" Anyhow, the sur
prised kings ad queens pretty soon
fuiiiid out how the matter stood and be.
an tu cool off und to mend their man
ners, and. as :i consequence, the dons and
other war dojrs, and the counts ami no
nccounts. fell in line nnd followed suit so
that ever since, to he nil American in
Kurope is to be something mere than the
proverbial Illustration of n fool and his
money, or a nobody in lie whistled down
the wind of every titled donkey's pre
tended nobility!
There is much more In the same key,
but It Isn't necessary to quote further.
It Is sufllclcnt to establish the fuct by
his own testimony that the gallant and
chlvalrlc Kentucklan Is hnppy; that
the glorious emblem of liberty Is not
being spat upon In the capitals
of effete Kurope, and that, whatever
may have been her cisatlantic vicissi
tudes, the Star-eyed Ooddcss of He
form Is at least in clover among the
aristocrats of Paree.
If this Is to degenerate Into a conun
drum campaign, the Chicago Times
Herald serves timely notice that It will
Insist upon Governor Morton defining
his position relative to the split In the
Salvation army. And it adds: "Mr.
Heed may have clearly defined Ideas as
to what should be done with the high
theater hat, but the country Is so far
densely Ignorant of them, neither Is the
public Informed as to his opinion of the
guinless stamps now Issued by this ad
ministration. Mr. Quay has been om
inously silent on the nebular hypoth
esis, and no one knows how he stands
on the question of 8-cent Btreet railway
fares. It Is a grievous exhibition of
cowardice and lack of moral courage
for these candidates to keep the people
In the dark concerning their attfltudes
on these burning Irsuea of the hour."
Our contemporary Is to be congratu
lated uion Its determination to smoke
these oracles out. The public Is clearly
entitled to a complete mental dlagiai.i
of each of the jioliticul suppliants for its
favor.
The ChicagoTlniea-ileraldhas cast its
lot with the opponents of capital pun
ishment. "We have had a good many
hangings In this city." It remarks.
"Hut can anyone show that human life
!.; less often assailed after a long fling
of the hangman, or that crime has been
less persistent for an Interregnum'.'
Dues anyone believe that Illinois affords
better protiKtion against crime of vio
lence than Wisconsin or Maine or
Ithode Island, where the death penalty
has been wholly suspended? It may be
that the hysteih-al religious demonstra
tions, the unrepentant repentance, the
line wriilug, the tawdry pomp that r.ur
rouiiil a capital execution sww a use
ful purpose. !:ut It remains to be
proved that to whisk out a pt.ur rag of
humanity amid circumstances t.f pro
found indignity Is to perceptibly Im
prove the human lace." An a deterrent
i f othi r crinns it is a demonstrated
failure.
Mr. Piatt's two attacks up m McKln
ley have elicited from Lieutenant (Inv
entor Saxton, of New York, tie- lemark
that he "Is amazed to sou Republican
leaders furnishing the enemy with
poisoned airows t) l e u icd ava nst th"
man who n liable to be thj iitcnln c
of our party." Mr. Saxton is not the
only tine in that state of mind. How
ever, the poisoned arrows will hurt
the traitors worst.
The esteemed Philadelphia Record
professes not to believe that Democrat
ic trilling with the tariff during the
punt three years has Inflicted great losa
on American wage-earners. If it will
send a representative to Scranton we
will nut him in direct communication
w ith hundreds of disgusted victims, the
counterparts of whom may be found In
ecory other industrial city.

It Is unfortunate that the leading Eu
ropean papers are so violently opposed
to the presidential candidacy of Wllllum
AicKinley, for he Is really a go id man
who does not deserve the hatred of any
one. Hut if the candidacy of f.IcKlnley
must give offence anywhere It might
better be in Kurope than In America.

The steamer Three Friends, which
left Jacksonville, Fla., Sunday night,
with 2,000 rilles. 1,000 revolvers, 1,200
machetes and J0O.000 rounds of cart
ridges, bound for Cuba, ha'd to steal
out, to avoid the Federal authorities.
If Cleveland would do his duty this
woald not be necessary.
Stephen W. Holies, of Erie, an
nounces that Senator Quay favors Me
Klnby as his second choice. Quay can
hardly be blamed for preferring Quay
to McKInley for first choice.
The greatest need In this city at pres
ent, in connection with the street rall
wuy problem, is not a three-cent fare
but a better service for live cents.
One thing Is tolerably sure. If Quay
drops, he will land on his feet.

reasons to the public, weighing both sides
of the question thoroughly; by so doing
ho Is Imformlng the public how to think,
how to feel, how lo converse, how to act
In order to grow wiser und better, bo
sides bettering himself and paper before

be given to writers regardless of his name
and Etundlng in this worlu tor the discus
sion of all kinds of religion and public
questions. If the editor thlnkt the writer
1b not an orlglsal writer and a poor one,
