NEW HAVEN, Oct. 2l.-In his address
before the Episcopal church congress, last
night, Archdeacon Frrrar said The doc
trine of the atonement is the key to Chris
tian faith. Its truth declared the recon
ciliation of man to God. Errors have
arisen from theological subtleties, and
sometimes the name has been given to
some systematic theory of atonement but
the belief set forth in the Scriptures is the
real doctrine of the atonement | say at
once, and without fear of contradiction,
that no theory of the atonement, no scho-
laStic explanation of the atonement has
ever been accepted by all creeds or can
put forth any claim to catholcity. This
is sufficiently admitted by all eminent
theologians and every doctrine ever writ
ten. After referring to the variour theo-
ries which had been put forward aud
zealously advocated for years he said
"NOne of these theories have ever been
stamped with approval by the church of
God. They have at the utmost been left
as permissible opinions in the region of
unfathomable mysteries. In the popular
apprehension, all such theories are dan
gerously tainted with heresy. The cause
of these errors, he held, was that they
sprang from ignoring the fact that it had
not pleased God to give us the plan of
salvation in detail"

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.


PARIS, Oct 2l.-President Grevy has ac-
cepted the resignation of VI. Pierre Le-
grand, minister of agriculture and NJ.
Herve Mangan, minister of commerce,
who failed of election to the chamber of
deputies The Republican majority, which
is now assured, has dismissed all fears of
disturbance in Paris, and the moderate
party has won certain victory to the ex-
clusiOn of the cOnsummation of the plans
of either the extreme Monarchist or Radi-
cal. One of the results of this has been
that NM. Brsson, Clemenceau, Floquet,
and Best are elected to double seats.
The second ballots show that that part
of the public who voted the Conserva-
tive ticket on the first ballot with the idea
of crowding out the violent Radicals by
making at least "A large and formidable
| Conservative minority, and thus mark
| their diSapDrOval of the OppOrtunlSt
| policy, took an opposite course as soon as
| the full result of the victory became evi-
dent. They turned square around when it
was seen that this policy had nearlyrestored
| the monarchy and laid the foundation for
| a new revolution. NJ. Grevy only con-
sented to contest the presidency on the
condition that NJ. De Freycinet should
| also become premier of the re elected ad-
ministration VI. Grevy intends to soon
resign in favor of NJ. De Freycinet thus

| causing the commotion and uncertainty
which would have resulted from his refus-

A GENUINE DENyoCRAT

While bowling reverentially to the goddess
of civil service reform, Attorney General
GARLAND seems to have better under
standing of what the people wanted last
fall when they spoke in favor of a change
of administration than any of his cabinet
colleagues. Soon after he entered the cabi-
net, Mr.. GARLAND quietly and respectfully
Informed all the employees of the depart
ment of justice who We're not protected by
the civil service rules that their designations
were wanted by the LIST of July. There
were no charges of offensive partisanship
and no dismiSsals for cause. 1t was under
stood all around that the Republicans were
expected to get out and let competent and
worthy Democrats take their place. And
to-day Mr. GARLAND looks with pride and
satisfaction upon the work he has accom-
plished in his department in the last four
months. He has had no trouble about it
either. There has been no kicking, no
hunting up charges of partisanship and fl
ing written accusations, as has been the case
in other departments. The Republican
officials, one after another, have stepped
down and out, while Democrats have come

ANMDIAN UTOPIA.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald interviewed Senator IN
CALLS on his return from visit to the In
dian Territory, whittier he had gone with a
subcommittee to investigate certain matters
by order Of the senate. Mr. INGALLS, speaks
with enthusiasm of the condition of the
civilized tribes. He said the trip had en-
lightened him with regard to matters which
seemed quite remarkable and of which he
had no previous appreciation. The tribal
government was democratic in form, with
an elective chief magistrate and an upper
and lower house of legislature. Fifty per
cent of the entire revenue of the Chero-
KEGS was spent for educational purposes.
Wherever thirteen children could be gath
cred together a school house was built and
a teacher with ample qualifications was
employed. Two colleges, one for each sex.
were maintained, the buildings being of
noble proportions and all the appointments
creditable. The tribal government not only
furnished buildings and paid the teachers,
but clothed and fed the pupils. A number
of graduates were selected each year and
sent, at the public expense, TO continue
their studies at Yale, Dartmouth and other
high institutions of the East.
The utmost good feeling prevailed toward
the United States, but no disposition existed
to change the relations between the tribes
and the nation. 1t was conceded that the
treaties had been faithfully kept by the gov
eminent, but there was a feeling Of appre-
hension that the tribal forms of government
might be overturned by the admission of
white settlers, TO which the Indians were
earnestly opposed. On the other hand,
however, they manifested no objection to
the admission of other tribes of Indians to
homes in the Indian Territory, and they
seemed to think it would be the policy of
the government TO concentrate the Indians
there.
In the senator's opinion the indians
seemed to have reached the ideal solution
of the land question. All the land belongs
in common, to the tribe, but any
citizen may cultivate as much as
he chooses, provided he does not
come within a quarter of a mile of the
tract cultivated by his neighbor. This pro-
vision is designed to break up the tendency
to collect in small communities, which was
thought to be provocative of idleness. The
occupant of the land is its absolute possess
sOr and may leave it to his children or sell
his possessory rights TO another citizen.
But he may not sell to an outsider, and il
he ceases to cultivate, the land reverts to
the public domain. This prevents the ac-
quirement of large bodies of land by indi-
viduals and removes the danger of the evils
which result from land mOnopolies. The
freedmen are better treated than among the
AnglO-SaXons, and no civil or political right
is denied them. Il OF the 10000 Indi-
ans inhabiting that country there is not a
pauper. No person is supported at the
public expense and no one lacks a home.
Only one insane person was heard of.

MIR. FLKINs DENIES.

Mr.. ELKINs disavows ownership in the
MAXWELL land grant beyond a few shares
that were placed to his credit for the pur-
pose of rendering him eligible as a di-
rector in the old company, whose attorney
he confesses TO have been. Mr.. ELKINS is
entitled to the benefit of his denial. and it
now behooves Land Commissioner SPARKS
to tell the public who it was he
had in mind when he spoke of
the "alleged owner whose brother
was the surveyor of the company" Mr..
ELKINs says that his brother was the sur
veyor, and for that reason he infers that
Commissioner SPARKS intended to connect
him with the swindle. 1t will be an agree
able surprise to the friends of Mr.. ELKINs
to know that he is not connected with the
MAXWELL land grant swindle. Mr.. Ell
KINs has happy faculty of making very
narrow escapes from being connected with
doubtful enterprises of great magnitude.
In fact, his life seems to have been check
cred with just such adventures. 1t will be
remembered that when the star route frauds
were first mentioned there was a great
deal Of talk about STEVE ELKINs having
a finger in the pie. But somehow that gem
tleman managed to convince the govern
ment that he was an innocent party, and
the matter was hushed up so far as he was
concerned. Then il will be remembered
that scandal mixed Mr.. ELKINs up with
Mr.. BLAINE in some Hooking valley coal
speculations, from which Mr.. ELKINs not
only eXtricated himself but also brought his
friend, Mr.. BLAINE, TO the surface along
with him. And then people talked during
the last presidential campaign about the
danger of ELKINs being placed at the head
of the interior department in case that
BLAINE should be elected, and it was just
this sort of gossip that contributed to the
latter's defeat. Ever since the exposure of
the MAXWELL grant fraud gossipers have
been rolling the name of ELKINs under their
tongue, speaking of him as the chief mogul
of the swindle. Mr.. ELKINs has been a
much-abused man. Because he left his
native state few years ago a very poor boy
and now comes back from New Mexico
with eight or ten million dollars i'm his
pocket there are suspicious people who
will not believe that Mr.. ELKINs made his
money by working for 81 day digging in
a silver mine. Mr.. ELKINs' money is his
own and it is no concern Of the public where
he got it. Yet the country viii await with
a good deal of interest the response of Com
missioner SPARKS TO the ELKINs letter.

j. NEackin's Trial.

CHICAGO, June SO.-Mr. Emory A.
Storrs made the opening statement for the
defense this afternoon in the case of Joseph
c. Mac6in on trial for alleged perjury. The
counsel declared the state would have to
show the special grand jury, which indicted
Mackin, was legally impaneled and that the
perjury was deliberately committed and
they would also have to show that the
printing of the election tickets found in the
Eighteenth ward ballot box was
an offense. The state would also
have to prove that Mackin really took the
genuine ballots from the envelope in the
county clerks Office and substituted the
spurious ones. The prosecution submitted
the records showing the impaneling of the
grand jury, and then called A. II. Beard
sley, member of the grand jury, who tes-
titled Maekin had sworn before the grand
jury that he had not ordered the printing of
the ballots and de"ied meeting the Wrights.
who printed the tickets, as they had testi-
fed. Other witnesses were called regard

THE mETROPOLITAN CLOSED.
Too Much Competition Pushes it to
The Wall.

The Metropolitan hotel, which seems to
have been white elephant on the hands of
whOmSOever touched it for some years past,
will close its doors to the pnblic after
breakfast this morning. Mr.. G. w. McIn-
tyre, the present lessee of the house,
was its manager year OF
so under his predecessor, and
has assumed the burden and risk of running
it for the past twenty-One months, The re-
cent depression in the hotel trade of the
country has been heavily felt by the
house, however, and as he was losing money
continually he appealed to his landlord for
a reduction of rent. which being refused he
determined to close the establishment. There
are not great many guests at the hotel at
present, many having gone to the Ryan and
a large number to the lakes during the last
few days. This event is to be much de
plOred, as the house has been well man
aged and has borne a good reputation
among the travelling public.
Speaking of the matter last night, Aid.
Cullen, one of the owners of the house,
said that during the fifteen years the house
had been running it had never done so poor
a business as within the last few months,
and the opening of the Ryan would tend to
make it worse. as that hotel could do all the
business of the Merchants, Windsor, Metro
pOlitan and Astoria hotels and still have
room to spare.
