GERMAN MYSTICISM"

DO They Know What They are Talking
About?
American, Philadelphia.
The general assembly Of the Presbyter-
ian church is learned body. The minis
ters, who make up the majority, do not
receive ordination until they have been
graduated from some college and have
passed through a theological seminary.
From such a body We have the right to
expect dcfniteness and accuracy in the
use Of words. Yet in tie recent session at
Springfield, in a report prepared 10y a
western college president, the assembly
deplOres "the prevalence of German mys-
ticism aud the higher criticism" Those
who know nothing about mysticism I"
may be excused for using it in the sense
of unintelligibilty. But this excuse can
not avail either President Gregory or the
assembly. - German mysticism stands
for something as definite as does Antino-
mianism or Arianism and its prevalence
in the United States is confined to a few
like the Harmony ties. The truth seem to
be that, just as, fifty years ago, in Germany,
the. ratiOnalists found this word "mysti
cisin," handy rs a stigma upon the
views which in America are called evan

singled out for reprobation in this con-

speculative Germany, but from hard.
headed, Presbyterian Holland, that the
prevalent type of negative criticism dates.
Quinn, Kuenen, and the rest, are not
Germans, but Dutohmen and these are
the masters at whose feet Professor
Robertson Smith studied. All the lead
ing critics of Germany Dillmann, as we'll as
Delitzsch, Schrader equally with Keil,
repudiate the extreme views of the Old
Testament to which the Scotch professor
has given currency. So far as we know,
Wellhausen is the only German scholar
of any prominence who has given in his

VAN WICK TO HOWE.

on Senators.

" 4 Dirty SneakinE l.Oafer," who Sets Spies
on Senators.
1t seems that Senator Van Wyck had
some trouble getting a little postal ap-
pointment out in Nebraska and he went
over to the pOstOffice department to see
about it. The senator made known his
crrand, and Mr.. Howe in reply made some
criticism upon the senator's course in the
Senate.
"What's tho matter?' queriod the
senator in surprise.
Why" rejoined the cabinet officer,
''yOu don't stand by your friends"
81 do stand by my friends,'' said the
senator. What do you mcan?''
g ''Well how did you vote upon the
Worthington case ~
"Oh, didn't vote at all upon that.
was absent. l was opposed to WOrthing
ton, ,and did al! could against him. What
next?'
"Well, how about the Buckner casc?'
The senator did not recall the Buckner
case at once, having been absent from
town when it was brought up. This was
the case where Mr.. Wilson, all internal
revenue collector, holding the highest
grade in the service, was removed after
being two years in office, to make room
for a Grant man.
Whom the postmaster general had con
cluded his catechism, the senator, who,
though exceedingly good -natured, has no
hesitation in expressing his opinions in
unequivOcal terms, turned upon his ques-
toner and said "This accounts for the
delay, does it? l want to know if you
intend me to understand that because l
vote according to my convictions in the
Senate my suggestions are to be unhecded
by this administration Is that what you
mean I? If it is, tell me SO plainly and
will never darken your doors again.
just want to know the fact, so it may be
made known to my constituents that,
simply because of my votes in the Senate,
their representative is to be denied all in
fluence in the departments under this ad-
ministration."
Why" interposed Secretary Teller,
"that's what Hayes did for HE because
l didn't support his nomination..
And," shouted the now indignant
senator. You called him dirty, sneak
ing loafer for it, didn't you =? That's what
my opinion is of this administration, if
this is a specimen of it's policy. How is it
with your department Undressing him
self to Secretary Teller p 1 want to know
all about this thing. We are interested
in few land Offices in our state. Am
to come and see you or stay away 81
Secretary Teller, who was about leaving
the room. rejoined "Oh, come over and
see me about them by all mcans."
Turning again to the postmaster gen
eral the irate senator continued: $50
you keep spies upon us, do you And
you take the word Of sneaks who violate
their oatbs and come here to lie about us.
That's another reason why l want he ex-
ecutivo session abolished. tell you there
is no need Of any spies upon me. All do
is open and above board, and you can know
all about it by asking me-" With that
the senator bade the postmaster general
good morning and departed.

OF the now men selected for tho tariff
commission, Alex. Il. Boteler is conser-
vative Democratic farmer and politician
from w. ", disposed toward a tariff for
revenue. He was an Old Line Whig, aud
in 1852 and 1856 was on the Whig and
American electoral tickets. He strOve as
siduously for many years to defeat Henry
Biddington and Charles J. Faulkner for
Congress and in 1859 he was at last elected
a representative from Virginia to the
Thirty-sixth Congress. When the war
came hc joined the seceSsiOnists aud serv-
ed in tho Confederate Congress. In 1875 he
was appointed a commissioner to the Cen
tenuial Exposition. Boteler is said to have
been rich before the war, but he is now in
moderate circumstances and lives on q
small farm in jefferson county. He may
possibly be regarded as the representative
of the agricultural interest on the com
mission. Mr.. Boteler was recommended
by Senator Davis and Camden, of West
Virginia, and it is expected their votes
will be cast for confirmation of the commits
sion, thus assuring tho success of tho nom
inatiOn.
Very little is known about Mcmahon,
Lapham says he is an expert on matters
relating to the tariff. He served under
General Arthur. He was an officer of a
New York regiment in the war, and was
very severely wounded. In 1868 no was
appointed an entry clerk in the custom
house, aud about 1868 was made chief

Beaver mt Chicago.

Gen. Beaver has made a serious 70
litical blunGer, if he has not deliberately
lied, in challenging the assertion that
misrepresented the known and plainly
expressed wishes of his constituents.
The best that has been claimed for him,
we believe, has been that as he took his
credentia from the state convention he
took his instructions from it, too, and
that in voting for Grant he was true
and not false to his constituents. But
it must be remembered that a large por-
tion of the Republican delegations from
New York and Pennsylvania success.
fully asserted and vindicated before the
Chicago convention the right of district
representation and the privilege of the
delegates to break through the attempt
ed instructionsOf state convention. If,
therefore, Gen. Beaver had been origi-
nally nominated for national delegate by
his immediate constituents, and they
had expressed their preferences unmis.
takably, he was in honor bound to serve
them or resign his place. The record,
as made at that time by the Bellefonte
Republican,, now his home organ, shows
that the county committee which sent
the delegates from Centre county to the
state convention took a vote on presi-
dent, which resulted, Blaine 81, Grant
4, Sherman land the man who cast
the Sherman vote said his constituents
were almost unanimous for Blaine. The
other five counties of the congressional
district represented by Beaver at Chi
cag0 had instructed their delegates to
use all honorable means to secure dele
cation from this state favorable to
Blaine. Finally the district conference,
which appointed Beaver and his col
league as the national delegates-their
nominations only being ratified by the
state convention-unanimously instruct
ed Beaver and Brosius TO vote for
Blaine for president. Mr.. Brosius was
present and personally pledged himself
to obey the instructions. Gen. Beaver
was not present, but the Times says his
own delegate from Centre county pledged
him to obey the Blaine resolution. In
the face of all this Beaver went to Chi
cag0 and voted for Grant, and then and
there Don Cameron first gave out that
Beaver was to be the next governor of
Pennsylvania, When Beaver says, or

GEORGE l. SENEY's explanation is as
honorable as his deed. Said he :"If auy

whom, under God, owe more than to all
the world besides. admire the Southern
women. There are possibilities in the

IMPURE MILK.

The bill recently passed by the New
Jersey legislature to suppress and pun
ish the sale of impure milk, and to
regulate the sale of Sc skinned milk, is a
commendable measure, says the New
York Times. It's restrictive provisions
are stringent, but excellent in scope, and
will receive the endorsement of the pub
lie and all honest dealers. It provides
that any one who shall offer for sale,
transfer or carry, or have In possession
with intent to sell, milk from which the
cream has been removed, shall attach to
each and every can or other receptacle
a metal stamp with the words "skim-
med milk" engraved thereon All who
offer for sale or have in their possession
skinned milk not so marked, or any
adulterated milk, are liable to penalty
of $50 for the first offense and 800 for
the second offense and all subsequent
offenses of the kind. In default of pay
ment the law imposes penalty of i'm
prisonment for not less than 10 or more
than SO days. Similar penalties are
further imposed upon persons who shall
keep milking COWS in a crowded or un-
healthy condition or feed them with food
which is calculated to produce impure,
diseased or unwholesome milk. The law
rigidly prohibits feeding the animals up
on the distillery waste usually known as
"swin, or upon any substance what
ever which is in an unwholesome condi-
ton or has an unwholesome effect. So
far as the adulteration is concerned, the
new law is very comprehensive, and de-
clares that in addition to that doctored
with the common adulterant, water, all
milk shall be classed as adulterated
which is obtained from animals fed on
has been exposed to or contaminated by
the presence of unhealthy surroundings,
Or in proximity to persons or places in
fected with contagious disease. In gen.
eral, all milk found upon analysis to
contain less than II per cent. of milk
solids or more than SO per cent. of wa
terry fluid is classed as adulterated.
For the purpose of securing proper in
spection to suppress illegal traffic by
the law finally provides for
the appointment of an inspector at
salary of $500 per year. This official is
empowered to open any receptacle he
may suspect to contain "skimmed" or
impure milk for the purpose of analysis.
If this shall establish its impure charac-
ter, each can containing doctored fluid is
to be emptied and its owner prosecuted.
To insure the more thorough enactment
of the law, provision is also made for the
of assistants to the inspec-
tor at salary of SIS per day.

HUNGARIAN IMMIGRANTS.

Among the colonization schemes which
have recently come into notice in various
parts of Europe one of unusual promise
is that devised in Hungary to promote
emigration to this country. The pro-
jectors have in mind certain available
lands in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Virginia, on which they propose to es-
tablish villages of fifty or one hundred
farms, the soil to be sold at cost on in
stallments, and other lots in the COM
munity to be held for rise, to reimburse
the movers in the enterprise. Some 500
families are said to be making prepare
tions to come over in a body. They are,
in Hungary, well-settled farmers, used
to toll. and in no danger of becoming
poverty-stricken or Migrants. They are
said to be honest, hberal-minded, devout
and highly moral. Whether success will
follow the new departure depends on a
variety of circumstances, chiefly the
ability and integrity of those who have
the project in charge. But whether all
contingencies are provided for or not,
there seems to be a considerable furore
for the movement in some parts of Hun
OarV
