The present indications are that the
sentiment of the English people is favor
able TO Mr.. Gladstone's scheme for the
settlement of the I.ish question, and it
is even claimed that he will secure ma
jority in the House of Commons for both
his home rule and land purchase bills.
IF he succeeds, it will be the grandest
triumph which any statesman of modern
times has achieved. The press, the crown
and many Of the leading forces Of Eng.
4 lish sentiment oppose both of these
schemes, but the influence of Mr.. Glad
stone is likely to prove more potent than
all Of. these forces combined. Mr.. Glad.
stone may, however, live to see the day
that the home rule feature of his Irish
scheme will be ampli6ed until it will
abolish the monarchial powers of Great
Britain and give to the world another
republic. The powers of the Irish Par
lament under Mr.. Gladstone's bill are
very aimilarto the, powers of our State
Legislatures in this country, with only
such powers reserved TO the crown as are
absolutely necessary to prevent the disso.

Meeting of I'resDytery.

NEwBERRY, April 13.-The South
Carolina Presbytery has been in session
here since last Friday night. 1t was
organized by electing the Rev. W. T.
Mathews, of Greenwood, moderator, and
the Rev. D. L. Morris. Of Edge6eld,
secretary, and Col. J. J. Norton, of Wal.
halla, assistant secretary. Nothing of
special importance was before the body.
On Saturday night the following young
gentlemen preached their trial sermons
and were licensed to preach: The Rev.
Mr.. Fulton of Savannah, Ga, the Rev.
Mr.. Boggs of Pickens and the Rev S. R.
Riley, also of Pickens.
On Sunday the different congregations
in town we're preached to by members of
the Presbytery. The new directory Of
the church, which has been submitted to
the different Presbyteries for criticism
and approval, was up for discussion.
Among other things the matter of church
decorations with flowers, branches OF
trees, statues and pictures, was discussed.
That portion of the new directory which
speaks of this matter was sustained by
the Presbytery condemning the use Of
any kind of decoration as illegal and
wrong.
Rev. D. E. Frierson and Elder R. H.
Wardlaw were elected commissioners to
the General Assembly.
Williamson obtained leave to secure
the services of Rev. G. L. Stewart, OF
Enoree Presbytery, for six months.
A collection was taken last night for
domestic missions and S102 was raised.
There were about fifteen ministers present
and about thirty.five or forty lay dele
gates.
The business was finished this morning
and the Presbytery adjourned. The next
place of meeting is Seneca.-Conespon.

DIR. Woodrow Wins,
Auq,.sta Chronicle, AprH 17th.

The Presbytery of Augusta met in
Waynesboro Wednesday night. A large
party were in attendance. Rev. MIR.
Dook, the pastor of the Eatonton church,
was elected Moderator. After the ap.
pointment of the usual committees and
the general routine of business was gone
through with, the case of DR.. Woodrow
vas brought before the Presbytery. A
committee of FIVE were appointed to
consider it. The committee replied ma
king direct charges against Dr.. Woodrow
for error in his teachings, and that his
Interpretation of the Scripture was not
in accordance with the standard of the
Presbyterian Church, and that the Pres
bytery institute proceedings against him.
This report was concurred in by only
three of the committee, two dissenting.
The Presbytery declined to endorse the
report by vote of eight to seven, and a
substitute was offered and carried by the
same vote, which in substance is: While
we do not endorse the teaching of DR..
Woodrow on the subject of evolution, we
see no case for judicial process.
QeEoupOu LIZ <iuoAo luIluCO1otOIy
notified the Presbytery that he would
table the charges against DR.. Woodrow
and become the prosecutor.
These proceedings occupied the Pres
bytery until Friday night.
On Saturday morning DR.. Adams pre-.
ferred charges against DR.. Woodrow, for
error in his teachings and the Presbytery
cited him to appear at his trial at the
next meeting of the Presbytery, which
will take place at Bethany Church in
Taliaferro County, the last week in
August.
It is highly probable that the whole
matter will be brought before the Gen.
eral Assembly, which convenes here on
the goth of May, as the Savannah Pres
bytery has overturned the Assembly to
take cognizance of the matter, and
speedy termination may be looked for.
DR.. Woodrow and Col. r. l.. Hunter
were elected commissioners to the Gen
eral Assembly.
There was not a word said in the meet.
ing to cause offence, and everything
passed off harmoniously and was con-
Quoted in Christian spirit.

A Reply to ssFarmer's Son."

Mr.. EDITOR /: In your last issue is q
communication signed "Farmer's Son"
in which article your correspondent says :
ssNo, gentlemen, the fault is not in the
politician, professional men, taxes, tariff,
or the prohibition movement. 1t is true
some of the foregoing cause small leaks
or drains upon the farmers purse, but
they are diminutive spickets compared
to the reckless slashing going on at the
bung by the farmers themselves and
merchants"
Now, let us see how much one of these
.ssmall drains" cost the farmers of the
United States in one year. According
to Mr.. Augustus Montgredin there are
in the United States 100000 farmers.
It is a safe estimate to say that each of
these pay out annually s57 per capita,
overcharge on goods, caused by the tariff
rates. This would amount in round
numbers to s4OO, 100000 annually stolen
from the farmers of the United States.
OF this enormous sum only S6O,OO0,OUO
goes to the government, leaving $780,
100000 that the farmers give to the sup.
port of the Northern manufacturers.
Take, for example, matches. A few
years ago you paid FIVE cents for a small
wooden box containing about one hun.
dred of these articles. Now they can be
purchased for ten cents for 1900. When
the tariff was removed there went up q
howl all over the North from the match
manufacturers. 1t was declared that
every one of them would have to close
up, but have never heard of one failing.
At Gainesville, Ga, there is factory
turning out 500 gross per day that has
been established there only two years.
Mr.. Courteney, match manufactures,
died in New York recently worth s5,OOO,-
600. A great deal of that amount was
from "small drains"
A farmer goes to town to buy suit of
clothes. He pays $40 for it. Take off
the tariff and he can buy the same suit
for SIP. Eight dollars thrown away |!
His wife buys 50 worth of checks. Take
off the tariff and she could get the same
amount for $6. Three dollars thrown
away! Should he purchase pair of
blankets he pays 80 per cent. tariff; on
his plows S5; and, in fact, on everything
he uses-his tools, his clothing, his rice,
his sugar-and SC on ad infnit1ns.
According to the last census there was
in round numbers 1000 families engaged
in farming in Anderson County. Ac-
cording to figures above, and they are
low estimate, the tariff causes "small
drain" of s228,oOO annually out of the
pockets of the farmers of Anderson
County alone. 1 think that if you will
cause this "small drain" to remain in
our County for ten years, you would see
that the farmers condition would be
bettered, as we'll as the professional man.

The Ne,us and Courier seeks to deter
the growing sentiment throughout the
country that the pretended Civil Service
Reform is humbug by denouncing
those who express the opinion that the
offices under Democratic administra-
tion should be filled by Democrats, and
calling them spoilsmen and similar COM
.plimentary epitheta. There is no force
in such line of argument, and such a
policy is not calculated to help the party
that is blind enough to indulge in it. If
a Democratic administration is to keep
Republicans in Office, then we do not see
where. the use for such strenuous work
at the polls comes in. 1t is contended
that the fights not oyer the Offices, but
over principles. This is true. in one
sense, but the main fight on principle is
not to. day one of abstraction but of per-
sonal application. The platforms of the
two parties had no widely divergent
positions in them, and the representatives
in Congress from both parties are divided
on all of the leading questions of the
day. The last battle mas not fought on
the tariff, or the currency or, national aid
to education, or any of the leading
questions of the day, but the cry of the
canvass which brought victory to the
Democrats was "turn the rascals out"
1t is not especially inspiring to the men
who bore the heat and burden of the
canvass to be quietly told by those whose
friends are provided for that they are
spoilsmen, simply because they believed
the Democratic party>meant to turn the
rascals out" when they promised to do so
in the last election. In our judgment,
every Republican, from the President
down to the smallest postmaster in the
country, should be supplanted by 8 Dem
ocrat, and it is pure hypocrisy for the
Democrats to retain them in Office.
President Cleveland has turned some as
efficient, honest and acceptable Republic.
cans as could be found in the United
States out Of Office, and we can see no
reason Why he should hesitate to turn the
balance of them out. It is only in ex.
ceptional cases that an efficient, honest
and partially acceptable radical Office
holder can be found, and in those cases
they should be bounced for being in bad
company. These are our views on this
subject, and at the riskiof being classed
with the spoilsmen, we venture to express
them. u

Senator Hoar has introduced in the
United States Senate the most consum-
mattel ridiculous measure that has yet
been bred Of the sectional hate which
the Repnbli entertain for the South.
sItprovides in brief that whenever three
citizens of q State petition under oath,
setting forth that any person has been
killed. seriously injured in person or
property, or threatened because of politi.
cal opinions, or with view to prevent
the free expression of opinion in regard
Ftomasters affecting the general welfare Of
the United States, it.shall be the duty of
the Circuit Judge to hold an inquest into
the circumstances and report the evil
sdence and his conclusions to the Presi.
dent to be laid before Congress. The
remedy for killing or .intimidating men
3on account of thar political opinions is
now ample, and suitable punishments
are inflicted in case their guilt is estab.
lished. The bill introduced by Senator
Hoar is intended simply to work up
political capital-nothing more and
spothing less. There issno chance, we
stake.it, for such a measure to become q
Law. The people Of the United States
do not wish to make their Circuit Judges
political coroners, or to foot the bills for
the manufacture of partisan political
ammunition. Til. bill practically pro-
poses tohold an er parte investigation,
and giye,to the world the conclusions on
it o. a Judge whois expected also to
play the part of a partisan. The Judges
haze enough solid work without making
them perform the duties of partisan po.
litical coroners.
