Baptist Ministers Practically Rescind Al
Invitation to HIN to Speak.
Tho mention of DR.. McGlynn's name
caused q lively discussion at the weekly meet
ing Of the Baptist ministers at 8 Murray street
yesterday. He had been invited by the con-
ference to speak before the ministers on the
subject of the Pope in Politics." and his let
ter was received yesterday declining to speak
on that subject. He stated In his lstter that he
wished to avoid the semblance Of discussing
the Pope from Q Protestant standpotnt, but he
was willing and would be pleased to speak on
the subject Of the religious aspect OF the labor
movement.
A strong opposition developed against hsv-
ing the Doctor speak at all. and one clergyman
declared that II the matter were pressed 1t
would result In the disruption OF the Conferences.
The Rev. Mr.; Bur!ingsme said he believed In
fair play. and II McGlynn was invited, then
George and DIR. Psntecost must be invited.
A motion to extend an invitation to Dr. INC,
Glynn to speak before the conference on next
Monday morning on any subject he chose was
offered, but a motion to lay the whole matter
on the table was finally carried with but four
dissenting votes.

majority, 67s3.


Il will De observed from q perusal of
the figures here presented that with a
revenue tariff candidate on revenue
tariff platform the Democrats carried
New York in 1876 BY over 80, 900 majority,
New Jersey by over 1000 m.jority, and
Connecticut by nearly 5000 msjority-
In 1880, with revenue tariff platform
and candidate leaning to protection,
New York and Connecticut were carried
by the r republicans, and the Democratic
majority in New Jersey was reduced from
$4,000 to 1000.
In 1884, with tariff reform candidate
and both parties committed to tariff re-
vision, but with hating declaration OF
principle on the part of the Democracy,
Grover Cleveland carried all three states
by narrow msjorities over the most popu-
lar Republican in the country.
The lesson of these figures is perfectly
plsln. The Democratic party Is in favor
of tariff for revenue, and not for protec-
ton. 1t fights its best battle when It
carries its own flag and stands by its prin-
cipleE.

Tn. COLOR Line in Religion.

A curious revival OF spirit common in
ants-belium days and during the war,
took place recently at the annual meeting
Of the Western Presbytery in Chicago. The
question raised WAS regarding the union
OF the northern and southern Presbyterian
churches, and the Rsv. DR.. Herrick john
con introduced resolution refusing to
recogniz, the establishment Of separate
African Presbyterian church, or any ar
rangsment looking to that end, but pro.
Tossing willingness to let the present
boundaries and constituencies Of presby-
teries and synods in the south remain
in statu quo, provided this shall be the
uncopstrained preference of both parties,
and provided it be no bar to future ad-
jusIments, subject always to'the acts Of
The General Assembly. Tnereupon Dr.,
Gray, the able editor of the Interior, pro-
tested against such sn ustersnce IS dis
graceful, saying: cit means that We
shall 60 down there with arms AID resus-
citate all the old Issues of sIoloody and
nearly forgotten war The Pfesbyteries
of Florida, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee have already sisnifed desire
to come over to the reunion, but not q
man OF them would, in the face Of such
an insult SIS this" The Rev. DR. With
row also theoretically protested against
the "in.roduction Of the color line in
religion" Oiher speakers opposed an
attempt 90 revive old issues and impose
conditions on the southern bretherr, and
finally 1t WAS simply res solved that "rhis
PresbVtery is heartily in favor OF reunion
with the southern church on the basis Of
our common standards, pure and
simple" This, after ali is said, was the
rational way OF disposipg OF
much-vexed question. There
has been IN open issue kbetween
the northern and southern Presbyte' ians
for many years, and brethren in Christ
have allowed themselves to be divided by
g question very similar to the questions
of social rights which have continually
arisen in the south since the war. 1t Is
easy to argue that, as matter OF 40
admitted to full fellowship and
all matters, but it is obviously unjust for
one section to seek to impose conditions
upon another whose social conditions,
traditions AID manner OF thought are dir
ferent. A process of social REIMBURSEMENT
is going on at the south, and outside in
reference must be regarded IS unfortu-
nate. There may be much to deplore,
but the people of the south must settle
such questions for themselves. More
over, it has been shown, first, that any
attempt to force the process Of amslga-
nation is certain to react unfsvorably,
and, secondly, that many Off the colored
churches prefer their own Presbyteries,
and even decline to enter into others. IL
would be most unfortunate for clergy
men to revive race feeling which, if left
to itself, will gradually become Ut less
and less account. The final action of the
Chicago Ptesbytery was judicious.
