LUG ueXt pEOpOScu CuduBe was as IOllOW6:
Section 4, chapter vi, now reads: From this
original corruption, whereby we are utterly
indisposed, disabled and made opposite to all
good and wholly inclined to all evil, do pro-
coed all actual transgressions." The reading
proposed by the committee ia as follows: From
this original corruption, whereby we are indis-
posed to good and inclined to evil, do proceed
all actual transgressions."
In explanation Of this change DR.. Hamlin
said that the words would indicate that all who
were not Christians were entirely devoid Of
good. He thought that 1t was an over state
ment.
What was meant by these words, in the opin-
ion Of DR.. Fullerton, was that non-Christians
did not have the goodness necessary for saliva
ton. He proposed in place Of the change
recommended by the committee that the pres
bytery recommend to the general assembly to
so modify this section that it will not appear
to deny the existence Of civil and social virtues
accepted by DR.. Hamlin.
After discussion the presbytery adopted the
substitute and it was made part of the report.

CHOICE A STORIES.

A huge blackSnake, four feet in
length, was killed in the private office
of the Exchange Bank of Cheill, Soil 81
Co., at Carthage, Ill. The bank is on a
principal street. and nobody saw the
snake enter. The reptile had swal-
lowed two large packages of notes, and
was about to escape with its plumber.
A woman at Great Hill, Conn.,. finding
a snake among her growing cucumbers,
took an original way of dispatching him.
She poured a kettle of boiling water
owe the intruder, and the dose so used
him up that she found no trouble then
in finishing him with a whip. He
measured, it is said, four feet in length.
Miss Jessie Slingluff,. of Wayne town.
ship, was on her way for the cows a
few evenings since, when suddenly she
espied a rattlesnake. the reptile being
within two feet of her. She did not
faint nor run away. but sizing a club
killed the snake and dragged its body
home. The snake was four feet in
length and was the possessor of eight
rattleS.
while in Corn Cobb county, Geor-
gia," says a Penfield man, Tin 1865, we
were repairing railroads that had been
torn up. I was on the bank watching
for h~Oopsnakes. Seeing n coming l
yelled to Jim Murphy, to look out. He
suck his pick in the ground and jumped
back. The snake struck the pick handle
with its tail, and in five minutes the
handle turned black as your hat and
swelled up and busted the eye out TO
the pick"
George l.. Stephens. of Newark, while
walking through the woods at Lake
wood, n. j.. Saturday, was attacked by
a spotted adder five feet nine and a half
inches long. The reptile jumped from
a bush and fastened its fangs in Mr..
Stephens leg. Mr.. Stephens was not
in the least disconnected and quietly
stamped the life out of the adder.
Neither did the gentleman deem it nee
essary to drink a quart of whisky or APP
ply to a physician to use his efforts to
extract the virus. This is explained by
the fact that Mr.. Stephens wears two
artificial limbs. He lost both legs by
being struck by a train OF the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad.
Mr.. Stephens brought the snake to
Newark, where it is now on exhibition
in a showcase Oh Broad street.

THEY CAN FIGHT.

The campaign in South Dakota for
female suffrage is not taking we'll. The
rivaIries of two eminent and devoted
ladies may have something to do with
it, but the old prejudices and conserva-
tism are still in obstructive service there.
The most formidable argument in use
there. as elsewhere, is that women add
nothing to the physical strength of the
state or the enforcement of law, and
therefore should not be lawmakers.
The ladies in one of the foreign lands
have in recent times furnished an Illus
tration of the meagernesS of this argu-
ment. Reports sent in lately by French
army officers afford evidence that the
tongue is not the only weapon that wom-
en- can WELD with manly vigor. Some
two or three months ago the French Of
ficers met in battle an army of disci-
plined female soldiers in Dahomey.
The latter had not the advantages of
the French in equipment and skill, but
in valor there was no. disparagement of
them. They fought with a steadiness
and nerve that would have utterly
routed the French legions had not
timely refnforcements come to their re-
lief. After the contest was wei sixty
women were found fallen close up to
the intrenchments. There is no dis
our upon their capacity as material
supports of the governmental fabrics,
but it will hardly be insisted that they
have the highest qualifications for the
use of the ballot. The intelligent ladies
of South Dakota would be much safer
custodians of the elective franchise.
The fighting argument is not quite
adapted to this enlightened age. Moral
force counts vastly more than brute,
and the opposition to woman suffrage
is easily driven from that refuge.

NOTES ABOUT THE CENSUS.

Official and s%emi-official census re-
turns give the new state of Washington
a population of $50. 900.
After a of Denver, Col, an
unofficial estimate of the population has
placed the total at la, 900.
When the census agent calls the roll
the Kansas City man shouts here" so
fast that 1t makes his teeth chatter and
his nose bleed.
The census enumeration in East An
dover, N. H.. made the acquaintance of
a man and his wife who were rejoicing
over the birth of their twenty-ffth
child.
W%yandotte school district of Butte
county is noted for it's good school facil-
itleS, yet tie last census showed that
only one baby was born in the district
this year.
The oldest inhabitant of Wilkinson
county found by the eDumerat0rs is old
man Bill Fountain, cOlored, at the eoun-
ty poor house. His age is returned at
107 years.
The New York Herald correctly OBJ.
serves in connection with the census
figures that it isn't great cities SO much
as good cities that we ought to look for
and cultivate. Thanks, awfuIly. Bos-
ton appreciates the compliment.
Rather than roast the census enumer-
ators for neglect of duty, the Register
is willing to believe that the population
of Sandusky is less than it was two
years ago. If it is, Sandusky is the
only city in Ohio which is on the down
grade.
The census enumerators found one
town in the heart of a rich country
.,I -, H. ~ IL 1910 L
the population in ten years. This is
Gilroy, in Santa Clara county. CAL, the
center of a great wheat country. The
main reason for the stationary position
of the town is that the land Is held By
large owners in ranches of many thou
sand acres, and no encouragement is
offered to small farmers.

UNREST.

The rose that is perfect to-day is blown over
full Tomorrow;
Life is nothing but change. and change is
7 nothing but sorrow.
The world SWAPS back and forth, a measure
less, vast machine,
High and low, and ever bringing back what
has been.
The days that dawn and die, the moons that
wax and wane,
The seasons that freeze and burn, the grain
and the crop and the grain
Are symbols of change unchanging, bicycles
whirling by,
The living apfng the dead, and ripe In their
turn to die.
Could we clear our eyes to gaze, we should
see to the verge of time
The long dead level of death and Life and
love n crime,
Torn and tossed by passion, and ridged and
quarried with graves
AS the changeless level of ocean is broken by
tide and waves.
Where shall our feet inc rest2 Or is there q
rest to find2
Is it a dreamy delusion shaped by q restless
mind?
A rainbow arching our sky, looked on, but
never possessed?
Our feet must stumble on, while OUT hearts
cry out for rest.
The world sways back and forth, suns kfndle
and flash and die,
Our stars arise and set till the dawn of
eternity.

POIITICAL

The camera is coming to be an Incl
dent in politics. 1t has sought to catch
the president in the unimposing divest-
ure of the bath. The dramatic Kansas
senator has had the %eloquence of ora
torical pose tranSfXed. Over the water
the other day the Irish members of par
lament used it to hold up to indignant
observation the annoyaEces to which
their leaders are subjected by the gov
ernment. 1t has been the practice, as
alleged. to employ detectives to shadow
the prominent Parnellites and keep all
their movements in view, as if they
were criminals. 1t is not surprising
that this should be taken as insulting
and provoke those interested in
the objects of it. They reversed
the usual methods. The camera was
brought IN to picture the ~pursuers,
and not the pursued. A bright
manipulation of the shadow takar was
secured, and the parties most watched
took a stroll with an air of unwonted
mystery. The spy followed, and was
transfxed by the artist in various fur
tive and eager attitudes. These pict-
ures were then made illustrations of
discourses, being thrown upon screens
on the conspicuous parliament house
terrace. The prosecuted parties por-
trayed to the crowds the treatment of
which they were the victims, showing
the spy DIGGING their footsteps. 1t
presented the subject in a very striking
way. and made an effective impression.
The uses possible for the camera in
politics are not greatly developed. but
must be numerous, and often very forci-
BILE. For instance, the political attitudes
and purposes of the Sage of Nininger the
past week had their facial illumination
that could be caught by the alert CAM
era. With the aid of the magic lantern
political oratory could be greatly en-
livened.

TOPICAL TALK.
The First


The First Judge Flandrau told
an interesting story
Dakota in yesterdays GLOBE
about the effort of
Government. some of the early
Minnesota pioneers to
erect an independent state cut of
the Dakotas. When the territory of
Minnesota was created the Red River
of the North was made the western
boundary. All of that country between
the Red river and the Missouri
was left in an unorganized condition,
and it occurred to the .adyentur.
u pioneers that this region would
establish an empire. 1t was a
daring movement, and only lacked
fOrtuitOus circumstances to make it a
success, but Fortune was not smiling in
that direction at the time. The extreme
conservatism of the Buchanan ad-
ministratlon prevented public at
tention from being directed to
any movement that was out of the
regular order of things. If the expert
ment had been made after the war in
stead of before it is probable that Judge
Flandrau, ..AGoY." Albright and their
associates would have won as much
%notoriety as was gained by Capt. Payne
and his Oklahoma boomers. Still, the
incident has a historical value, and it
ought to be written up by Judge Elan
drau OF some one to be preserved in
the national archives. They attempted
to do what Aaron Burr was arrested
and prosecuted for, erecting an indie
pendent government within the limits
of the United States. If the Albright
government had succeeded in involving
itself in a war with the Sioux Indians.
the federal government would have
been compelled to take notice of it and
would probably have given it some
standing. But it is pretty hard
to get up a revolution or rebel
lion this country for the sole purpose of
booming town sites.

NOTIONS OF A

Count ToLsToI, the Russian novelist
and social reformer, is attracting more
attention in this country OH account of
his effort to portray marriage as a fail
ure, and to be discountenanced, than his
views merit. He would abolish mar
rlage because it allows debaSing in
diligence and develops the animal nat
ure, just as others would abolish all
stimulants because they afford the
ean of debauchery with the unre-
strained. TOLsToI affords no substi-
tute for the family estate, and finds no
serious objection that his scheme in
wolves the collapse of the species. His
view is not specially original or novel.
1t is in substance that of the Shakers.
This society has survived several gener-
atiOns and been prOspered in material
affairs. 1t is remembered that a party
of young men visited one of the Shaker
communities some years ago with
professions of a disposition to re-
tire from the vanities and confusion of
the outer world and become members Of
their serene and ~paSSiOnlesS body. The
elders and strong men of the faith came
into a protracted argument, and their
line of thought was much the same as
the Russian sociologist now advances.
The only obstacle the young men found
was that the universally of their prac-
tice would obliterate the race. This
was conceded by the Shakers, but they
held that the giddy and reckless world
was plunging in that direction. It wa
Fastening to its own immolation, and it
were better to purify and lift above
grossness u element. The example and
absence of incubation by Christ were
as palpable to the followers of ANN LEE
as they are to ToLsToI. But
Christ attended weddings. and they are
likelyto continue after all the cranks of
the Russian variety are forgotten.
