RELIGION IN THE SOUTH.
The Presbyterians and Evolution and the
EpiscOpalians and the Color Line.


A Charleston special to the Philadelphia
Press says; There is trouble in the Episcopal
and Presbyterian churches in South Carolina
In the presbytery yesterday occurred the cleo
ton for delegates to the Presbyterian general
assembly in the south. The vital issue in this
church is the body of man." which was made
an issue by the expulsion of DR.. Woodrow from
the theological seminary of South Carolina
DIR. Woodrow was religious adherent of Oar
win, and believed in the evolution of man. sub
ject to the divine act of creation. He was ex-
PEELED some three years ago, but his case has
been brought up again and again before every
presbytery, synod, and assembly in the south
ever since. At the Charleston presbytery to-
day a distinct issue was made and the anti
Woodrow delegates were elected by vote of
% to IA.
The colored man is the issue in the Episcopal
church. He has been an issue for six or seven
years. Three years ago he became so promi-
nent an issue that nearly one-half of the par
lshes represented in the diocesan convention
seeded and these parishes have since kept ont
OF the convention. The next convention meets
at Aiken in May. A conference was held re-
Gently. at which efforts were made to arrive at
a compromise, but it was not successful. Yes
terday meeting of the seceders was held in
this city, and it was decided to make an effort
W pdtcu up Il peace WIN tIls OBJECT the con-
ference recommended to the seeding parishes
to elect delegates to the coming convention,
and to ask a preliminary conference before the
meeting of the convention. The plan of the
proposed compromise seems to be to admit the
colored clergymen who are now on the bishop 3
roll, but to bar out all new corners and to es-
tablish sort of side convention for the colored
people, subject to the bishop OF the diocese.
In this way it is hoped to bridge over the trou-
bles. 1t is not probable, however, that the
colored brethren will agree to the separation.
Bishop Howe and the majority of the clerical
delegates are fighting the battle for the col
ored people, while majority of the lay dele
gates and a very small minority of the white
clergymen are on the white side. The coming
convention therefore is looked forward to with

sentimental side and not the science of hats
In the National museum there are scores of fig
ures representing natives of different lands. all
having their characteristic headgear. Besides
stored away in boxes or cases are hundreds of
hats and caps of all kinds. The ethnologist
studies hats with much interest as he
studies the habitations Of men or the
implements with which they hunt or fish,
So il happens that there is large collection of
hats at the National museum. The styles and
manner of manufacture are as varied as are
the peoples of the earth. Prof. Otis Il. Mason.
curator Of the department of ethnology, to
whom STAR reporter preached the subject of
hats. remarked that in speaking of hats one
must not lose sight OF the fact that hats had
their origin IN some cases from a desire for
ornament, and in others for the sake of use.

ceedingly heavy and are worn only on cere-

of plumes and great trail of feathers to hang
down behind the warriors back. Many of the
Indians wear hats or caps of dear skin or

CONTENDING FOR THE STATE
CAPITAL.

Captain Gray, who has large inter-
ests in land ut Pasco, is proposing to
make a vigorous pull to secure the To-
cation Of the state capital at that place.
Pasco is at the junction of the Colum'
bis and Snake rivers, and is at the
point on the Northern where the Yak
ina branch diverges from the main
line. 1t is in dry, desert-like spot,
but an artesian we'll il being bored
there at public expense and it is hoped
that water will be more plentiful in
the future. Pasco is the second town
that has arisen to contest with Yaki-
ma the claim of being the best loca-
ton for the seat of government, the
first being Ellensburg which has
sprung up on the west of Yakima, as
Pssco is now springing up on the east.
Ellensburg was At first small post
Office point in the northwestern part
of Yakima county, while Yakima was
a good sized town. 1t was sometimes
jokingly called Robbers Roost" by
the early inhabitants OF the surround
ing valley and owing to the strong
winds that nearly always blow there,
it was also sometimes dubbed "WIndy
Center" 1t has now become flour
ishing young city and the county seat
Of Kittitas county. Captain Gray in
sists, however, that Ellensburg is not
a suita BILE place for the capital because
of the fact that it is so nearly sur
rounded by mountains as to be mac
cessible, while Pasco, with better
climate, may be reached from any di-
rection. He proposes to offer plenty
of land for public buildings if the cap
ital is located at his town. He is able
TO show with good deal of plausibi!ity
that even after Yakima is connected
with the southern part Of the state by
the Vancouver & Yakima railroad and
with the northern part OF the state
with an extension of this line through
the Big Bend country to Spokane
Falls, as now proposed, Pasco will still
be as accessible as Yakima and far
more 30 than Ellensburg can ever be.

ment and at the close of the war was
sent as one OF the peace commissioners
to confer with Lincoln and Seward
upon that memorable occasion at Fort
Monroe, when Frank p. Blair came
forward with the proposition, approved
by Jefferson Davis, for the two armies
to unite In the enforcement Of the
Monroe doctrine IN Mexico and leave
the disputes of the war TO be adjusted
At some future time.
And here we recall the wise re-
sponse of that stern old patriot, who,
with malice toward none but with
firmness in the right" peremptorily
declined to accede TO any such settle
ment AS that suggested. Lincoln could
never be led away from the main issue
with tinespun sophistry or foreign
propositions. On this occasion he an
nounced that he would listen to no
proposition that did not include an
immediate restoration of national au-
thority throughout all of the states,
the recognition of all the acts OF the
government respecting the abolition of
slavery, the prompt cessation of hos
tilities, and the disbandment of the
Confederate forces. The peace COM
mission, of which Mr.. Campbell was a
member, was not prepared for such
response as this and therefore reported
the result of their conference as II
failure, and while JeG Davis was
spending his time in denouncing Lin
coin for not acceding to his plan

The announcement of the death of
Hon. John A. Campbell at Baltimore
on Wednesday of the past week calls
back to our recollection one of the
prominent figures OF ante-bellum and
wartime days whose name had nearly
passed out of recollection. Having
graduated in the Georgia university
when quite young and hurrying on
John A. Campbell became ripe law
yer before he had reached the lawful
age for admission to the bar. This
was remedied by an act of the legisla-
ture. He rose rapidly in his profession
as we'll as in political standing until,
after conspicuous services in the leg
islature, he became member OF the
United States supreme court at Wash
ington,
Like Alexander Stevens and many
other able Southerners. Judge Camp.

twelve years under the republican secre-

1t is sincerely hoped that the an
nouncement with reference to Secre-
tary Windom's contemplated policy
is incorrect. Silver is the peoples
money, and the desire is almost uni
versal, especially throughout the pro-
ducing regions Of the West and South,
that its value be maintained on par
with gold. The secretary Of the treas
ury can accomplish great deal in
that direction by authorizing the
coinege of the maximum amount al
lowed by law, instead OF the mini
mum, as at present. There is no sp-
parent reason why this should not be
done, and all the people, with the ex-
ception of the money sharks in the
East, would rejoice to see such II pol
icy inaugurated. At the same time
nothing could be done that would
tend in greater degree toward pop
ularizing the new administration
among the masses.

RECENT LAND OFFICE RULINGS

Secretary Villas made a decision Ie-
Gently that is of considerable import
ance to the purchasers of timber lands
under the act of June 3, 1873, as it in
wolves the question of preference right
between preemption and homestead
settlers on the one hand and timber
land applicants on the other.
The homestead and preemption
laws are designed for those seeking
homes in good faith on the public
lands, and the timber land act of 1878
was designed, on the other hand, to
protect and benefit those who in good
faith seek to procure land for the tim
ber growing thereon. The tim Der
land actrestricts purchasers hereunder
to land that is chiefly valuable for it's
timber and to land that is practically
unfit for agriculture, even after the
timber is removed. There is no law,
however, that prevents a homestead or
preemption settler from locating upon
imber land, and it hls always been
the policy OF the land department to
give preference of right to actual set-
tiers where there is any conflict
between the different classes of claim
ants. For instance, although there is
desert land law, it has beeu the poll
cy to give preference to the claim of
a settler over that of desert land
claimant. even though the land set
tied upon is actually desert in charac-
ter aud not susceptible of cultivation,
without artificial irrigation; and by
application OF the same policy, pref
erepce has been given TO the claim OF
settler in the timber when in con-
fict with the application of one seek
ing the land for its timber. Taking
advantage OF this policy il often hap
pens that person desiring to cut out
or defeat timber land applicant will
60 upon the land AS "settler" or file
preemption or homestead claim over
that Of the timber land applicant. The
same course is sometimes pursued
with reference to land that has been
, 1889-03-21

Secretary Villas has also reiterated
the doctrine which Commissioner
Sparks undertook to break down
with reference to pre-emrtion and
homestead claims of public officials
1t was long since recognized that pub.
lie policy required that a person elect
ed or appointed to public Office
should not forfeit his homestead or pre-
emption claim while serving the pub
lie in an official capacity. Without
such "a ruling communities within the
public land districts of the West would
often be deprived of the advantage of
securing the best representatives in
public positions. Commissioner
Sparks, with that process of reasoning
peculiar to himself, reached the con-
clusion that public Office WINS gra-
tuity to the holder thereof and that it
would not be right to allow a man to
enjoy two gratuities from the public
ut the same time! 1t didn't occur to
Mr.. Sparks that the holder of a public
office might earn all he received and
that the public might be rs anxious to
receive his services rs the Off "er is to
render them.
MIR. Villas has very properly held
that when bona fide settler has es-
tatlished II residence upon public land
and is afterwards called away by Of
fetal duty, such absence shall not
work a forfeiture Of his rights.
