CONGRESSMAN WHITE, of Kentucky, is
every day doing famous things. His last
famous thing is to take woman suffrage kind
ly by the hand and offer to bestow upon it the
privileges of an amendment to the Constitu-
ton. A joint resolution t, that effect has
gone to the country in the pages of the Con
gressional Record and Mr.. White will be-
come more and more famous wherever it is
read. And that is what that very young
gentleman wants, that is to say, to get into
the newspapers and in the dinner table talk Of
the ladies' ordinary wherever people read and
eat. Mr.. Whites anxiety does not attach
itself to the amendment, and is not likely to
get to white heat over woman suffrage, but
when it comes up question of Mr.. Wri'e's
importance as political crank its tendency is
to eogult his entire mental syst m and A at
him on a sea of delight. The constitution
may not acquire the amendment, nor woman
suffrage ascend to the elevation of an org mic
principle, but the young gentleman wi |. all
the same, 60 back to the average Kentucky
constituent statesman with healthy ears.

THE ..CoDE OF HONOR" has setits remorse-
less seal on another life. The parties were
Joseph Addison and Richard Garland, of
Maryland. 1t occurred at Baltimore, and the
particulars are given by the special of the N,
10. flmes-DemOCrat.
The duel was fought at distance of six
feet. Addson's pistol hung fire four lines.
He only fired once, the bullet striking Car
lands wrist. Garland fired five times. The
last shot taking effect in Addson's body, near
the navel and lodging under the skin of the
back Addison died az six O'Clock this
morning The duel resulted from Garland's
telling young lady residing in Lulenburg
county. to whom Addison was engaged to be
married, that Addison was fiji ting with her.
The moral Of this sickening tragedy is much
strengthened by comparing cause and conse-
quence. We then reach, in all its might and
magnfcence, the logic Of duels.

Lord Jesus Christ shall be enthroned as
King over this service, and that Chris
tians shall give under sense of obliga-
ton to him from intelligent conviction.
We suggest, therefore Cd that church
sessions take this matter into serious con-
sideration; (2) that before the time for
the Sustentation collection ministers give
the congregations full instruction in re-
gard to its design and wants; (3) that
the church collection shall not be relied
on alone, but have coupled with it,
means to bring out the full beneyolence
Of Gods people (4) that missionary Sc
cieties be established as regular part of
the machinery of the Church; (5) that
the monthly concert of prayer be OBJ
served (6) that Sabbath Schools he in
duced to aid in the work, and thus be
trained in sympathy with it.
This article is wholly needless, as it
regards some churches which are already
working in the line of its suggestions.
Many, however we are sure, may profit
by its hints.

UvALDE, TEXAS, Nov. "a, '92

My Dear SIr,-Upon my geturn from
nr Han3Sgh N ihs nrmee miee d Sa b sttsg eom Gn
tee had agreed to ask an appropriation
for the church building here. Thinking
that few words from the field itself
might not be amiss, have written this
letter.
This town has changed wonderfully
since l came last fall. It's growth has
been wonderful to me. I enclose you a
scrap from the. town paper which is but
a sample of what comes out each week.
This is now the largest and most impor-
tant place west of San Antonio. 1t is on
the great route from Galveston to San
Francisco. Around it are canons, famous
for beauty and fertility Then it is fast
becoming favorite resort for consump.
tives. Every winter numbers come here,
most of whom are greatly benefited
From its position also, it is the centre of
mission work. Eighty miles west is Del
Rio, on the same railroad-just now be-
ginning to grow, and promising to be
quite place. Eighty miles northeast is
Bandera, small, but growing town, sur
rounded by thickly settled country.
Then north of US are the Nueces and Frio
Canons, in both Of which we have fam
lily whose influence is already felt.
During my recent visit to Bandera,
last Sunday, [ received into the church
there six members. Mr.. Guthrie, a most
worthy Scotchman, has started Sabbath
School. Having had much experience in
Scotland, we expect him to do great
work.
Until 1 contemplated going to Con
zales, had no idea what a hold l had on
the Uvalde people. Men Of different de-
nominations, and many of no belief at all ,
begged me to. return, telling me that /
was exerting a great influence for good
write this in no boastful spirit, but sim
ply that you may fully know the facts as
they are. Numerically, we are very
weak in Uvalde, yet in certain sense
We are strong
The Methodists have built here a
$4,000 church, and this year have sent
one Of the best men in the Conference to
J6ls UNI field, though heretofore it has been
nIled by men in their first year. The
Few man has been ordered to preach
yhree times month instead Of twice, as
oeiore. This leaves me only one Sunday
IN the month I shall therefore have to
preach in one Of the canons till we can
get church building.

The Number of our Candidates

The report of the last Assembly s
standing committee on Education has
been recently quoted several times in
print as authority for saying that our
Church had only ia candidates for the
ministry last year.
That report says, But according to
such statistical reports as has been occeS-
Si6le to This committee, we find that there
are only ia candidates for the ministry
against 144 of last year, showing loss
of 80" printed Minutes, 1882, page
555.) Qtalics mine.)
When this clause of the report was
read to the Assembly, it was then pub
licly explained to the following effect ::
A number of Presbyterial reports (my
present recollection is that the number
was about ten) has not been accessible to
your committee, which when received
will doubtless change the figures; but
allowing the usual average to each Pres
bytery not reporting, we think the re-
suit will show some loss on last year.
In view of the publication of the re-
port, it would unquestionably have been
better to embody in it this explanatory
statement. For while it made the facts
obvious to the Assembly, its omission
was likely to mislead readers.
Now it we turn to Minutes, 1882,
pages 666-9, we shall Gee that the total
number OF candidates reported to the
clerk by all the Presby teries is 16O, or a
gain of l6 over the year last preceding
that, result as gratifying as it was un-
expected. A. @. HOPKINS.

These long horseback rides of 40 and
so miles through the storms Of winter
are very trying, yet 1 willingly undergo
them. My last trip to Bandera was, 60
ing and coming, 100 miles through a
severe Norther which had to face.
In regard to the church building
when l began to solicit subscriptions, it
was predicted that would fail, as the
people had been worn out by such ap-
peals. They have built the Methodist
and Episcopal churches, subscribed to a
Campbellite church, built two churches
in the Canon, and have subscribed liber-
ally to school building. Notwith-
standing all this, l have secured on paper
$3.50, and $55 in cash. Our membership
here is small and poor-all the help must
come from without. I feel that build
ing is absolutely necessary, on else aOe lose
all 10e haze gained. Of my own means
| have contributed till am now embar-
rassed for funds
1 sincerely trust that you will help us
all you can. 1t is not only helping this
particular church, but it will help the
cause through this great region in years
to come.

Floyd County, Va.

MeS8r8. EdttorS,-In the CentroZof the
9th instant, there was a communication
from Jacksonville, Floyd county, Va, in
which was mentioned the fourishing con-
dition of the Presbyterian church there.
Ten years ago this church, the only one
then in the county, had only five resident
members, and the building was in di-
lapidated condition At that time Rev.
j. K. Harris took charge of the field as
stated supply, and also of New River
church in Montgomery county, thirty
miles distant Regardless of the weather,
he rode that distance and back, twice a
month, to meet two or three appoint
ments each Sabbath, and at the same
time teaching regular school. This
was continued for six or eight years,
when Mr. Harris left New River church,
which year or two afterwards secured
a pastor, and turned his attention to
founding church east of Floyd G. H
There were many and serious difficulties
in the way, but through the providence
of God his labors resulted in the building
Of neat and substantial church and Sc
curing an intelligent membership. And
sOi WlGulu nlue VI Ten years. IneT6 were
received into the Presbyterian church
under his ministry about one hundred
persons. During that whole time the
Sabbath School at Jacksonville was not
discontinued on a single Sabbath. This
is only partial account of ten years
work-what the world knows about it
but the necessary labor and sacrifice to
accomplish what was done will never be
fully known. Thus strong Presbyte-
rian foothold has been established in
Floyd county, one church built up, an
other erected, and the commencement of
third
Where ten years ago Presbyterianism
was unknown (this does not apply to
jacksonville it is now established, and
those who at first were preiudiced
against Mr.. Harris because he was a
Presbyterian, sincerely regretted his de-
parture A classical school which he con-
Quoted has elevated the character OF
many who are now citizens, and has
furnished the county with many public
school teachers who are doing real good
in their several spheres, and some are
Presbyterians.
1t is encouraging to notice what pro.
gress our Church has made where almost
every influence was opposed to it, P.

Letter from Rev. j. r. Bridges

MesSrs. Editors,-I send you extracts
from private letter from Rev. J. R.
Bridges, one of our evangelists in West
ern Texas, which will be interesting to
some of his friends, and at the same time,
I trust, call forth some liberal gifts to-
wards this and other church enterprises,
which the Executive Committee would
like to help, but which they cannot for
want of means. Our Sabbath Schools
and Christian people in Richmond espe-
cially, will be interested in brother
Bridges and his work, as he is one of
their own boys, now laboring for Christ
in far off, important, and hard field.
Most truly yours, R. NJ.

SHALL WE INCORPORATES

Three months ago, when we first learned
Superior was not an incorporated Village
we took occasion to urge upon some Of our
business men the necessity of at once pro-
ceeding to effect such an organization, but
being met with strong opposition, we sub
missively took back seat to patiently wait
until the scales should fall from their eyes,
and they could see plainly. That time
seems to have arrived, at least some Of
those who then most strongly opposed US
are now ready and anxious for such incor-
poration. TO this end therefore, we would
suggest that public meeting be called to
meet at the court house or some other pub
lie place, where this subject may be freely
discussed, and the views of all Oh this i'm
portant question be heard. Then let COM
mittee of three FIVE or seven be appointed
to draft a charter describing territory &C.,
and the matter laid before Judge Clouqh
for his approval, as under the laws of this
State the Circuit Judge may grant village
charter, and we think village charter is
all we want at present.
1t is folly for us to try to do anything in
the way of making substantial local i'm
provements for the village Of Superior under
a township organization. One point is suf-
fcient to demonstrate this fact. Take the
matter Of the water supply. Under existing
laws we can appropriate but fte hundred
dollars in any one year for this purpose, a
sum utterly inadequate to the demands of
the case, and sum so small that it is like
throwing away money to use it, as it would
be spent before any work of a perma-
nent nature could be effected, and then
what was done would decay before more
funds could be made available to complete
what was Comneaced. Our street, public
building, park, dock, and all other funds
are in similar condition, and must remain
so while we continue to operate under the
township Laws.
With even village organization these
defects can be remedied. We can then
make appropriations to carry on these need
ed, nay, positively necessary improvements,
where the property benefited will not pay
for such needed improvements. This ques-
ton of securing local government is one
Of vital Importance to our future prosperity
Now is the time for action! We cannot af
must be pushed forward five would gain
that en1inence we desire. As we are situat-
ed we cannot DO this. Shall we organize,

THE VETO.

We are not what would be called an ard
ent admirer of President Arthur, but it is a
very poor man indeed, who has no good
qualities or reasonably good sense, and our
president is by no means such an one. He
may not care continental whether We APP
prove or disarprove of his actions, but We
want to tell him that we do most earnestly
approve of his action in vetoing the Chinese
bill, and we hope he will continue to veto
every such bill that q venal congress may
enact. We are not particularly in love
with the almon eyed heather, but we hold
that he has Just as good right to come to
our shores as any other foreigner, and that
it is too late in the day for US to begin to
draw lines and to say who may or who may
not come to this Gland of the free" from a
social standpoint, to say nothing about the
national commercial interest which would
have teen adversely affected had the act
become a law If the Chinemcn were Of
vicious character spendthrifts and drunken
sots, spending all they could make, and
without love of country, we should not hear
this great cutlery against them. But they
are, as a class, the very opposite of ali this,
hence they are obnoxious to the sand lot
Kearney element of the Pacific coast, and
to please that element congress has become
a tool in their hands to drive the unoffend-
ing race from American soil. Thank you,
Mr.. President for vetoing that BILL
