Consideration of Articles Relating to tine
Legislature Completed.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June Coon
sideration OF articles relating to the
legislative branch Of the government was
concluded to-day. A section was added
making persons holding any office under
the government ineligible to election to
the Legislature, and also providing that
upon the removal from the county OF a
Legislator his seat becomes vacant.
Fruitless attempts were made to insert a
clause compelling the presiding officer Of
each house of the Legislature TO sign all
bills passed by both houses. The article
relating to public instruction passed to its
third reading without being amended.
The convention is IN session tonight and
is working well.

The Committee on Suffrage and Eligi-
bility favor the assessment Of a poll tax

Beecher's New Departure.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
According to Mr.. Beecher the Bible is merely
a record and reflection of human progress in the
perception of truth, and all literature is precise
ly that His theory makes no more of the Bible.
even as a body of ethics than of other literary
works Indeed. he was at pains to point out that
the ethics of the Bible is false and bad in many
respects; that it sanctions slavery and polyg
amy. and other things immoral in themselves
His rejection of the Bible as an authority in
doctrine and morals is as complete as that of
Herbert Spencer, or Frederic Harrison or Tyn-
dali, or Huxley or Heckel, or Monsignor Capel.
Plymouth pulpit is nationalist platform from
which Air. Moncure Conway or Mr.. Frothing-
ham, or Mr.. Felix Adler might, with perfect
propriety, be asked to speak
