THE discussion over the revision OF
the Presby terian confession of faith
develops very marked antagonlsm
any change on the part of the col
leges. Those presbyteries within the
bounds OF which the theological
schools are located, as rule do not
favor revision. The most liberal ten-
denotes are developed in the Chicago
presbytery, where DR.. Woolsley
Stryker's motion to change the whole
confession and adopt new creed was
strongly supported by able leaders in
the church and was only defeated af-
ter very prolonged and at times
quite sultry controversy. Such men
as Drs. Stryker, Barrows, and john
son express themselves as confident
that the time Twill come when
the Presbyterian church will sec wis
dom in entirely setting aside the old
Westminster standards That time
has not yet come it is true. The pres
ent only looks to changing the decla-
ratiOns that intimate God did pass by
a portion of the human race, and COLI
corning infants The wedge Of change
has entered. 1t will be driven home
until the old wordy creed is changed
for some brief formula of general ac-
ceptance.

WHO IS THE BEST MAN?

All useful work is honorable, says q
writer in the Inventive Age, but the best
life is that in which the powers of mind
and body are most benefcently en-
ployed. An indolent life, whether
passed in poverty or wealth, is a de-
graded and degrading life. No man can
serve God by any better means than by
serving his fellow-men. We do not dis
parage the church or the worship of God,
in public or private places, but he is the
truest and most devout worshippeT who
goes about the practical duties of life in
the right spirit, feeling that he is respon-
sible for the use he makes of his time , tall
ents, strength and opportunities. The
man who, according to his ability, does
the most to promote the welfare of his
fellow-men, be he scavenger or states
man, hod- carrier or preacher of the Cos
pei, is the best man on earth. The dig
nifty of labor is not dependent on the
sphere of ones activities so much as on
the spirit of the worker and the nearness
of his approach to his highest possibilities
OF usefulness. A good cObbler is a more
dignified aud honorable worker than the
man who, having no capacity for INTEL
lectual pursuits, scorns to toll for live
lihood and wastes his life in the sub
stratum Of profession. We do not often
see day laborer who missed his career in
failing to be clergyman; but who has
not been panied to see and hear in the
pulpit men who missed their vocation
in declining manual labor? The most
useful of all workers are scientists and
inventors. The former increase the area
and sum total of human knowledge. The
latter apply this increase TO the practical
affairs of life, so that it makes this world
brighter, happier and better. The in
ventor's work multiplies the work of all
other toilers, enabling one man to do
that which has previously required the
efforts Of many men. Invention has ele-
waited almost all kinds of work, elimin-
ating the grosser elements and augment
ing its Intelle ctuality. The gap between
man and beast, in the world of labor, is
being steadily widened by the work OF
the inventor. Granted that his motives
are as good as those of other men, we
must give the inventor the place of hon.
or, for the results of his labor are more
beneticient than those of any other class
of workers.

The LEAD ORE QUESTION.
f workers.

Ore Men ArxiousIy Awaiting Final Decision
Which will Govern Its Importation.
Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX, March 22.-During the
past week there passed through this port
of entry, bound TO smelters in Kansas
City. Omaha and st. Louis, forty-seven
carloads of high grade ore, aegregating
l ,529 ZOO pounds. It's estimated value
was $50 900. Ore men are anxiously
awaiting q final decision which will gov
ern the importation of that product from
Mexico. If he effort of the lie, d men of
Colorado and the West to place duty
on all lead ores irrespective of the value
of silver contained therein is successful,
then the sampling works at all points
along the border, also all smelling and
concentrating industries will be closed
out, pull up their plants and leave.
Then Mexico will of course retaliate, as
she has already done to cert ain extent.
Large smelling works are now being put
in at Monterey, Mexico, which would
have been erected in this city had 1t not
been for the late ruling of Secretary Win
dom on the lead ore question.

THE country absolutely tributary to
Fort Worth has increased its taxabl g
values 27O per cent. since 1881, and Fort
Worth has not added 10 per cent. to its
capacity for handling the trade of it's
territory. Is 1t any wonder that other
cities grow rich on the trade that would
have made Fort Worth the largest city in
Texas had its people erected houses?

TEXAS SPRING PALACE

Woodstock (Vt.) Standard: The sec
ond season of the grandest exhibit of the
soil ever made By any state or any num-
Der of states, will be opened at Fort
Worth, Tex, the 10th of May and con-
tinue twenty-one days. Like that of last
year it will be confined TO the pro-
ducts Of the state, but more counties will
participate, the building be greatly en-
larged and improved, and with the aid
of experience everything will be made
more elegant and attractive.
Texas is an empire in all its character
isterics, vast area, variety of climate :,
diversity of products. AS the Boston
Herald well says: ''Texas produces any
and everything that is produced in any
state in the American Union. Texas can
show gold TO California, silver to Nevada,
iron to- Pennsylvania, coal to Alabama,
lead to Missouri, copper to Michigan,
lumber 10 Wisconsin, rice to South Car
olina, sugar to Louisiana, cotton to Mis-
sissippi, corn to Iowa, wheat to Mime
sofa, wool to Ohio, hay to New York
aud to every state that which il produces
and much that it does not. -
The object OF the exposition is to in
duce people of other sections to visit the
state, ana to assist the people of New
England to do so an excursion of elegant
vestibule ears, with dining cars attached,
is talked of to leave Boston the 18th of
May, The charge for the round trip, &C.
cupying about two weeks, inclu ling all
expenses, will be S100, a moderate ex-
penditure for delightful trip,
when the Texas climate is at
its best and its crops well
advanced. and rare opportunity TO see
a good deal of this great and glorious
country. In the pOrtheTly portion of
the state there are many Northern men,
from New England, New York and
Pennsylvania, and some of the active
managers of the exhibit are Vermonters.
The heartiness of the welcome to stran-
gers must be experienced to be ap-
preciated. AS to the exhibition itself,
words are inadequate TO describe Its
magnIficence, its eXquisltiveness and its
universally of product.
