THE St. James Gazette, a London
Tory paper, declares that the oTiginators
OF the meeting held at the Academy of
Music, in New York, on Friday night
last, to express approval of Mr.. Glad
stones efforts to extend home rule to
Ireland, "were rebels, outlaws and sup
poIters Of aliens" The English Tories
of 1776 said the same thing about the
people of this country when in their
public assemblies they denounced Brit
ish tyranny and oppression, and express
ed their determination to take up arms
in defence OF their right to govern them
selves. No English Tory ever had
much love for government. Per-
hsps the Tory editor of the Gazstte
didn't like the summary way in which
O'Donovan Rosa was disposed of at the
New York meeting.

Mr.. BENJAMIN Folsom, of Buffalo, who
has received the appointment of United
States Consul at Sheffield, England, to sue
ceed Mr.. G. B. Webster, is the cousin OF
Mrs, Cleveland. He accompanied Mrs.
Folsom and her daughter in their recent
travels through Europe and also accom-,
panied them on their homeWard bound
trip in June last. The appointment nat
urally excites much interest OF partly po-
litical and partly sentimental nature, as
the appointee is so closely allied in rela-
tionship to Mrs. Cleveland, and he is
everywhere widely and favorably known,
and designated by the familiar epithet OF
"Cousin Ben" He figured at the wed
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland as the
only male representative of the brides
family. He is said to be good hearted,
easy natured young gentleman and there
are few Democrats who will grudge him
his Office or it's pecuniary compensation,
although all indications point very strong
" toward nepotism on Mr.. Cleveland's
action in this appointment. In the forin-
er days of President Cleveland's admins
tration, he was decidedly opposed to giving
q relative of his own, or any relatlve OF
the Cabinet or other official, position, on
account of the alleged favoritism to re!a-
tives, which he wished to avoid. Mr.:
Folsom has been candidate for several
positions and for the Sheffield consulate,
especially, for years. He worked hard to
elect Mr.. Tilden in 1876, expecting to OBJ
tain this office as his reward, but his plans
were frustrated ar! went far astray on
this occasion. Again in 1880 he worked
for General Hancock with the same object
in view and when Grover Cleveland was
nominated, Mr.. Folsom put all his ener-
gies to work and at last won his appoint
ment through the election of President
Cleveland. This is the alleged Official ex-
planation which none but the sorely dis
appointed will presume to discredit as the
APPOINTMENT was won by the efforts OF
Mrs. Benjamin Folsom alone.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEI

HEREsY IN NEW ENGLAND.-Dr.
Woodrow is not the only preacher
who is in trouble as to his theological
views and departure from the stand
ards. There are now five professors
of the old Andover Theological Sem
mary on trial for supposed heresies.
They are. Egbert G. Smyth, Profess
sor of Church History and President
of the Faculty; William J. Tucker,
Professor of Elocution; George Har-
ris, Professor of Systematic Theolo-
gy, and Edward Y. Hyncks, Profess
sor of Biblical Theology. These are
considered the representative men
of the liberal or progressive school
of theology in the Congregational
Church of New England. The the
ology is Calvanistic and these profess
sors have published a joint work en-
titled "Progressive Orthodoxy" We
have not seen it, but it is probably
like Mulford's and Munger's contri-
buttons to theology, much tainted
with novel and unsOund views, how
ever, original or brilliant the setting.
There are sixteen counts in the charge
brought against the Andover Pro-
fessors.
Among other things it is supposed
that these "progressives' believe that
the heather will have a probationary
state after death. They reject the
dogma that men will be punished
who have no knowledge Of the
historic Christ" If this be So,
then the Romans, Greeks, and all
heathen nations are to be congratu-
lated, for their condition is far more
desirable than the condition of any
modern Christian nations, and the
very worst thing that could be done
would be to send them a knowledge
of the historic Christ, whom five
sixths of them would reject and con-
sequently be damned. These And
over "Wise men" have discovered
that the Bible sis fallable and un-
trustworthy" according to one of
the counts, and that "faith ought to
be scientific and natural, rather than
Scriptural." There is more of the
same dreary stuff. If guilty they
ought to be jerked out of their places
they 80 foully abuse because they
violate the very terms of the con-
tract-that they were to teach the
recognized doctrines of a specified
body of divinity Wilmington Star.
