Senator Browns Divorce Resolutions.
Editor Morning Necs, Allow me to say
a word in reference to the action of the
Southern Baptist Convention on Senator
Browns resolutions, to which attention
was directed in your editorial of to-day.
In justice to the convention and the
great body Of Christians represented by It,
it is necessary to explain that the vote by
which the decision of the convention was
reconsidered, and the resolutions finally
tabled, did not indicate opposition to the
spirit OF the resolutions, nor want of
sympathy with the principles involved.
That the convention was practi-
cally a unit on the divorce Ques-
ton, and in hearty sympathy with
the efforts to RESTRICT divorces within
those limits assigned by the Scriptures,
was made apparent by the overwhelming
vote by which the resolutions were at first
adopted. The history of the resolutions,
AS connected with the convention, will
make this fact still more evident. A mo-
ton TO table the resolutions preceded the
motion to adopt, and the convention,
fearing that the tabling of the
resolutions might be isunderstOOd
and construed as indicating OPP
position to the resolutions themselves.
refused to take such action. When, how
ever, the resolutions had been adopted,
almost without a dissenting voice thus
showing most Enthusiastically the position
OF the convention upon the subject matter
of the resolutions J, the motion to recon-
slider, and subsequently to table, the reso-
| buttons prevailed solely because the dis
| cussiOn and decision Of such matters did
not tall in with the purposes for which
the convention was organized. Tie con-
Vention Is engaged in nirthsring the cause
of missions at home and abroad; it can
not legislate for the churches nor
| speak authOTitatiYely concerning the
| duties of the ministry; and the decision
of questions of morals, or those more or
less political in their bearing, would have
! been wholly without precedent, and, it was
believed, would have paved the way tor
The Introduction of many embarrassing
! discussions. But, after all, the resolu-
tons were not without their effect; for
they gave the convention an opportunity
/ for expressing its views on the divorce
laws, While they compelled the convention
TO define more precisely the sphere Of it's
! legitimate work. j. Il. l.. HOLMES.

agency, states that by the re-
cent death of Young Antelope, Stan.
ley Hundley, a newspaper man
who was, at one time, CONNECTED witt
the Dakota press, now in New York
becomes chief of the Teuton Nation
The manner in which Hun.
dley becomes chief of all
the Sioux tribes is like
a fable. Years ago, before Sitting Bull
surrendered, Hundley was sent by a
Chicago paper to northern Montana,
to interview the warrior. Tired OF
securing the plains he crossed the Dor
der and became the guest of Maj
Walsh, at Wood Mountain, in the Brit
ish northwestern territory. Here,
camped around the majors post were
old men and squaws, among whom
were Little Knife, the her
editary ,chieftain Of the leu.
war and Buffalo trails. Little Knife in
jured his limb while dismounting from
q pony, and the medicine man
failed to give him any relief and
the old chief WAS given up to die.
Hundley appeared on the scene, and
with newspaper mans extensive
knowledge, bound the wound with
leaves and oil, and he recovered.
Hundley was adopted, and last fall,
when Sitting Bull and troupe went east,
an adopted sister of Hundley was
with them and recognized Humid
ley. Little Knife had two sons
Mountain Bull and Young An
telOpe. The former was killed
some time ago, and now by Antelope's
death Hundiey becomes chief, as a male
relative by adoption is as strong as if his
blood was among theIndians. Hundley's
Indian name is Waukapy Wonkan, or
Holy Leaf. Hundley is the author of the
well-known "Spoopendike Papers,"
