LOGOs CLUB.

1t should be stated that at these
commandments it is customary for
the bishops of Southern diOceses,
with many of the superior clergy
and influential laymen from all
parts of the South, to be present.
They become, in short, informal
church conventions as it were. Be-
fore an assembly of these, compris-
ing seven bishops and many of the
most intellectual clergymen and
laymen whom it has been the priv
ilege of this writer to meet, the
nature and purpose of the associa-
ton was inaugurated in an address
by Prof. McCrady, OF whom | gave
some account in former paper.
The purpose stated is the remedy of
an evil which is assuming porten-
tious dimensions at this time-the
increasing alienation, namely, be-
tween science and religion. 1t is
denied, of course, that there is any
necessary opposition between the
two, and it is maintained rather
that, the more profoundly each is
studied, the more clearly can it be
established that harmony and CO.
operation is the legitimate relation
of the two; in both, truth is the OBJ
iect, and truth is one.
How this harmony is to be devel-
oped is the problem of the Logos
Club. The gentlemen engaged in
establishing it have strong and
deeply grounded convictions of the
personal intervention of the Word
the second person of the Trinity in
both the creation and continued
sustentation of the universe, as ex'
pressed in the opening chapter OF
st. Johns gospel, and believe thai
they can successfully oppose the
modern idea of an impersonal force
as the central cause of materia
phenomena by course of reason
ing based on that assumption
hence, the title "LogOs," taker
from the Greek expression for thu
: Word.
l believe that this organization
will bear fruit-the bishops ant
clergy took hold eagerly of the en-
terprise, every bishop pledgins
himself to advance its interests il
his diocese. The nucleus of tn
Club will consist of a knot o
learned and scientific men in thi
University, with Prof. McCrady &
host in himelf) at its head ; but it
believed that much talent, at pres
ent scattered elsewhere, can be con
centrated upon the object i'll view
J and that the world will be wiser 10
: it. 1t is proposed to publish annua
reports of proceedings, oontainin
. essays bearing upon the principle
advocated, and written by men
bers of the Club, and l believe tina
much will have been achieved if
only results in the publication {

Q which Prof. McCrady has long bee
maturing.

our public schools at GAINESVILLE
had been worked up to high pitch
of excellence in this respect, but !
must sadly acknowledge that in all
the merits of elocution, articulation,
information and expression, Sewanee
beats us. TO be sure, they have
the advantage of having it taught
by man who has nothing else to
do, while our teachers have to do
everything from spelling to chemis-
try, aud throw in elocution as an
episode. =
However, elocution s'not every
thing, though it is generally the
only department of which the pub
lie has the opportunity of judging.
The professors here have volun-
tered to afford me ample opportu-
mites of testing the quality of their
instruction by inviting me to be
present at the various examinations.
OF this invitation | so far availed
myself as to be present and partici-
pate in two Latin examinations, in
two opposite extremes.of the course;
one, a general examination in Latin
literature, for the degree of master
of arts; another, in Latin grammar
for the younger grammar school
scholars. Without particularizing,
1 will say that two things were
manifest from the proofs l wit
messed F.; first, that the instruction
given has been thorough, compre-
hensive and infinitely accurate, and
secondly, that the honors of the
institution are not awarded without
a most stringent scrutiny into the
use which has been made of these
privileges. But these are things
that may be said with more or less
appOsiteness of many schools and
colleges. What l have to add will
show that the scholars and divines
here associated recognize as func.
ton of University, which really
deserves the name, duty incum
bent on them much higher thar
that of grinding gerunds and aorist'
into the heads of undergraduates
that they consider themselves under
an obligation to forward the cause
of religious truth by efforts outside
of the limits of mere college cur

ONE of the editors of the Russell

1t is difficult to reconcile the argu
ments of those men favorable to the
nomination of Robertson, with the presi-
dents mode of procedure in creating
vacancies. Granted that Robertson is
capable and honest, may not these quail
ties be truthfully attributed to Merritt !?
If Conkling Is to be charged with AFRO
gance in the matter of appointments to
federal offices in New York, by what
course of reasoning is the president to be
absolved in BUSTING an officer proved
competent and trustworthy, one who has
instituted reforms and who is backed by
the people of New York, and appointing
one believed to be honest and capable
but not proved SO by having managed
the affairs of the Office SO as to be entitl-
ed to that praise unquestionably If
Conkling is deserving of censure in OPP
posing the confirmation of man believed
to be worthy of confidence, how is Gar
field to be commended for discharging
an officer known to be reliable and worthy?
Garfield has acted in summary man
ner, inconsistent with his professions,
and in an indefensible way. If he sought
to substitute good officer for an ineffi
cient or dishonest one he would have the
hearty support of the country and Conk.
llng's opposition would be simply prurile.
Conkling's strength now comes from the
weakness of the presidents position
He should be sustained by every right
thinking man.

HE entire press of the state in COM
menting upon the members of the new
board on charitable and penal institutions
speaks with uniform praise of our towns
man, Mr.. Luling. The praise is well
deserved. Mr.. Luling is O man of ex-
cellent executive ability, good sense and
sound Judgment. He has besides these
necessary qualifications something pri-
mally essential in the position to which
he is appointed and which makes his Sc
lection pre- eninently worthy one, that
is heart which always sympathizes with
suffering, bodily or mental. 1t is on ac-
count of Mr.. Luling's fitness that we feel
the state is to be congratulated on his
appointment. He is stalwart republic
can but no one who knows him notices
this fault in his mental organism except
on election day.

The Sheboygan Herald appeared last
week under its new management. In the
salutatory of the new editor is senti-
ment which should govern the action of
every editor in the state, and which should
be dilated upon until local politics are
purified and only men OF well recognized
ability are put forward as the leaders of
the party. The announcement is as fol-
lows:
"We have no intention of supporting
for public positions of responsibility, men
whose only claim to represent the prin-
ciples of the republican, party is that
they are willing to accept Office at its
hands when their chances for election
seem good, or that they wear the badge
of republicanism," Cor democracy
This is starting out on high moral
ground which, until lately, was unoccu-
pied by the local press of the state. De-
votion to offic seekers, a readiness to
defend every action on their part, will
lingness to recognize their dieta as the
elements of party orthodoxy, have been
the test of allegiance to the party ascen-
dant in every county in the state. When
a county officer is installed in his Office,
he assumes that his duty is not limited
to a performance of official duties, but
also includes determining what shall con-
stitUte party marks. \ party man must
surrender his judgment to the keeping
of those men WHO are leaders because of
the grace of office, must sink his intelli.
gence and take his articles of faith from
those self constituted leaders. Are we
to understand that The Herald means
what it says, and that it will kick against
dictation when directions are unpalatable
or account of the men from whom they
emanate and when contrary to those
principles which should govern intelligent
actlonE Ii SO, We wish it Godspeed and
welcome 1t as recruit under the banner
OF reform, which, in local matters, makes
success the reward of merit. The servi-
tude of caucus packing has become a
badge of disgrace. No party can persist
il it without harvesting ruin. We ap-
peal to tue local press of the state to
fight against it until coaventions express
the will of the people and not the wish
of candidates or supinely bend to the
dictates OF otficious people.

Matthews, notwithstanding which his
confirmation is confidently expected
There are some things which make
Matthews elevation to the bench distaste-
full to sensible people. He has been a

partial to these corporations. He has
been mixed up in the Louisiana iniquity
through which Hayes secured the presi
dency. He was nominated by his broth

field selects for position on the bench
a man whom, Hayes, his relative, did not
choose to force upon the people. There
are rumors of bargaining which are alike
discreditable to Hayes and Garfield

Notwithstanding that appearances are

dence, the confirmation of Matthews
