The New York presbytery has resolved
81 to 15-that the Westminster catechism
ought to be revised. A report of the pro-
ceedings in one OF the New York papers
says:
The sentiment of the presbytery was not only
Overwhelmingly in favor of revision, but sew
eral of the members spoke so fervently IN de-
nunciatiOn of the old confession of faith as to
shock the strictly orthodox minority. An ex-
preston used by many of the speakers was
that "the presbyterian church was IN need of a
doctrinal statement which can be used ana
which can be understood" The doctrines Of
irrevOcable predestinatiOn and infant damna-
ton were repudiated. One speaker compared
the Westminster confession TO anaconda,
ems away the members of other denominations.
DR.. PAXTON said:
A man who could preach some of the articles Of
our faith would not be a contemporary OF the nine
teenth century He must have walked out OF the
seventeenth century. He would be survival--and
HAMS lungs. We caunot look at GOD through Cat
WINS eyes CALVIN looked at GOD an saw nothing
but His terrible sovereignty. We see that His name
is LOVE.
Many of the speakers declared that the
church needs a new creed, brief, compre-
hensive statement, containing only what pres
byterians hold il necessary to believe, The
HOWARD CROSBY, JOHN r. PAXTON, H. J..
VAN DYKE, RICHARD HARLAN and SAMUEL
ID. BURCHARD were among those who voted
in favor of vevision.
Wonder if JOHN CALVIN has not turned
over in his grave since this revision cam
paign began!

A DIsGRAcEFUl RECORD.
Mr.. Harrison's Scandalous Appointments
in His Own state.
TSt Inuis. Republic1

TSt. Louis Republic.l
In the Washington correspondence yes
terday the Republic summed up the record
of Harrison administration appointments
in Mr.. Harrison's own state. We venture
to say that a more scandalous record was
never made in the history OF any country.
The appointments embrace criminals and
outcasts of every class. Neither proven
theft; nor the suspicion OF murder for pur-
poses of robbery; nor notoriety as a male
inmate OF bagnio; nor any other crime
of all the infamous crimes which fill the
penitentiaries, has been held to disqualify
these republican workers" from receiving
the rewards of their sacrifices under the
essential and discriminating test" of fit
ness applied under Mr.. Harrison's system
of spoils' bossism.
In Missouri this system has resulted in
the frequent sale of the offices for money,
as the Republic has proven from time to
time by sworn statements of reliable wit
nesses, as well as by the forced confession
OF one of the principal criminals, but vii
famous as is such an abuse of constitutional
authority, it cannot compare with the foul
and shameless indecency of the distribu-
ton of the spoils in the presidents own
state.
This infamous work has been done in
the grades of the federal service TO which
appointments are made without consent of
the senate and without the regulation of
the Pendleton civil service law. The men
thus rewarded have received Office be-
cause they were a part of the blocks
of five conspiracy by which Indiana was
carried. Gross as is the partisanship
and arrogant as is the bossism of the
republican majority in the senate, such
appointments would not have been made
possible had they been subject to review
by the senate. But being held to no direct
responsibility to anyone, the administra-
ton went TO an extreme OF vicious respon-
sibility which if allowed to become pre-
cedent will surely destroy the govern
ment 1t is not Mr.. Harrison's individual
action; it is worse-it is his system. The
results are achieved by a machine con-
structed for him by the distribution of the
spoils; set in motion by him and operated
under his sanction. He would have
lacked common sense not to anticipate
such results. He certainly knows what
they are, and giving them his counte,
nance. sustaining them with the authority
he holds in trust, he accepts full response
bility for them.

our costly, homemade ships on an
equal footing with the English and
French Ships unless the subsidy
we give is considerably larger than the one

dollars can not be run so as TO compete
successfully with a ship equally good that

do not appear to be taking this into con-
sideration when they talk OF substituting

THE Journal tells its readers that the In
diana geography is now used ''in some of the
schools of Minnesota" The fact is that
these biographies are used in practically
all the schools of Minnesota. On the 9th
OF July last we published an interview
with Prof. KIEHLE, state superintendent of
public instruction in Minnesota, touching
this geography. We make the following
extract:
Cor.-"Is it true that Minnesota is trying to
get rid of these books"
Supt Misunderstanding could be further
from the truth and the facts. The books are
held in universal esteem and are certainly
growing in favor. They are used in nearly all
the schools of the state to the entire satisfac-
ton of teachers and pupils"
But the facts make no difference to the
school-book trust and its corps of paid
liars, chief of which is the Indianapolis
Journal Facts are commodity in which
they do not deal.

MlCHENER NOTIDLE.
His Agents Already at Work Throughout
the ate.


[Seymour Democrat
Chairman Kitchener of the republican
state central committee, admits with re-
freshing candor that the assignment of
postmasters to the fourth-class offices in
the democratic congressional districts of
this state has been placed in his hands
He admits, further, that the business of
patronage distribution is congenial, that
he likes it in fact, and that he proposes to
dispose of his favors by placing them
where they will do the most good. But
Chairman Kitchener has other business in
hand, which he is pushing for all that it
is worth. He is conducting a general
agency, his trusted men" are at work in
all parts OF the state, and
For ways that are dark,
And tricks that vain,
Chairman Michener's agents are peculiar.
And thereby, and thereon, hangs a tale
A few days since, a dapper, mysterious
fellow, who told those to whom be talked
that he was from Shelbyville and that he
was Mr.. Michener's agent" visited
Brownstown, and called upon such repub-
lican workers, and such only, as were earn
est and answering in their support of
Harrison before his nomination and dur
ing the last canvass To these he said
that he had mission, and that his mis-
sion was to get the republicans together
and in line for the next state canvass.
His instructions were not to call upon or to
have anything to say to such republicans as
were inclined to independence in political
action. They were to be ignored by him :;
but he was to instruct the trusted men"
to call upon these disaffected or disap-
pointed ones, and to say to them that, "of
course, Harrison wasn't their first choice,
but now he was elected, and everything
was republican, and that, by all getting to-
geJher and working in harmony the re-
publicans would be able TO maintain their
control of the state and general govern
ments indefinitely" In the course of his
remarks, he offered many suggestions and
made a number OF revelations. He even
went so far, in his description of the re-
publican ways and means of the last can
vass, as to pirate about the distribution of
Doodle, and 10 boast of the extent to
which he had used the corruption fund in
the purchase of Shelbyville and Shelby
county voters. The work had been well
done, and it could be easily accomplished
again in the same way. AS an induce
ment to those partly out of the traces to
come again into line and pull with the
machine team, he said that of course all
could not be rewarded by one adminstra-
ton, but that such as had been neglected
this time would be fully recognized the
next. The Democrat, in this narration, is
reciting no idle tale. The Democrat is mar
rating facts CT which it has full, accurate,
reliable and indisputable evidence. How
this information came to the Democrat is
not the concern of any one. We have
told the plain truth in plain terms. The
honest voters of Jackson county will
learn from this DER true tale what is to be
expected of the powers that be in the next
canvass.

THE Journal, which supposes that it is
for protection, but, for the life OF it, can't
tell why, parades this statement, by a
miner who recently visited England, under
the apparent impression that it is good
high tariff ammunition:
The miners wages range from an average of
80 cents Tin some localities) day to SLIP a day
in Durham and Northumberland, where they
are said to receive the highest wages. Accord
ing 10 the best information at hand, both from
mine inspectors and officers of the miners
union, the average wages day will not reach
shillings (S1) for each day worked. year il
will average about 500 to S225.
There are a good many thousand pro-
tected miners in this country who would
be happy if they were guaranteed earn
ings OF 500 to S225 year. A dollar a
day, according TO an eminent authority, is
enough for a workingman; and we have
the assurance OF the Journal itself, made
only few months ago, when discussing
this very question of miners pay, that
81 week is not pauper wages. If that
paper were edited, which it isn't, it would
not take so much pains>to show, on its
own evidence, that miners in free-trade
England do not receive pauper wages.

IL now seems that in spite of politics
next year, the issue before the people is
going to be cheap school-books, and that
there will have to be legislature elected
on this issue. The thieving octopus has
its agents at work throughout the state,
buying up newspapers and even courts, in
order to render the new school-book law
nugatory. 1t has heretofore purchased
even state officers, but the public vigilance
is so focused on them that they are placed
on their good behavior The time has
passed for the octopus TO dictate the NOM
ination and election of superintendent of
public instruction. To their shame be it
said, the democratic and republican parties
have both been dominated In this office by
the octopus. Hereafter every man with
the smell of fire on his garments must be
spotted and ostracised. If either party
nominate an octopus man, let him be de-
feated at all hazards.
The unprincipled old school book octo-
pus has at last found a Jeffrey in the
northern part of the state corrupt and
ignorant enough to pronounce the new
school-book law unconstitutional. Amongst
all the circuit judges OF Indiana one has
at last been found who could be bam-
boozled if not bought Thank the Lord,
the interests of the poor children of the
state do not depend on the decisions OF
purchasable judges. The prices of books
are going to be lower. or the people will
know the reason why. A legislature will
be elected next time that will find way
to pass law that will be constitution
proof.
The newspapers of this state that are
doing everything in their power to keep
up the prices of school books and to fortify
the power OF the octopus-one of the most
unprincipled and corrupt monopolies that
ever existed-are subiecting themselves to
serious suspicious of mercenary motives.
IT will not do for the republican party or
any other party to identity itself with the
"onto" it.
