A TEMPEST BREWING,

Trouble Expected la tho Presbyterian As
sombiy Over tho Revision COMMITTEES.
SARATOGA, N. Y, May ga tempest
Is believed to be brewing In the COM
mittee appointed to nominate the COM
mittee of fifteen ministers and ten
elders who are to revise the West
minister Confession. This Nominating
Committee, as far as the ecclesiastic cal
politics of its members are known, is
believed to be pretty evenly divided
between revisionists and anti-revisi on
lists.
1t is understood that some sixty
names have been brought before it
from which to select the twenty five
revision committeeman. Some of the
names are those of persons who do not
want the Confession revised. The re-
visionists on the Nominating Com
mittee urge that revision should be
performed by its friends and not by its
enemies, and declare that it would be
on the Revision Committee. The anti
revisionists argue that it would be
worse than a blunder to fail to utilize
the learning of the great theologians
like DR.. John Hal, Prof. w. q. T. Shedd,
DR.. Patton, G. w. Hodge, Prof. War
field and w. H. Green merely because
they do not approve of revision.
Whichever way the fight In the
Nominating Committee is determined
it 10 believed that 1t will be transferred
whom the committee reports to the As
sembly, whose approval of the persons
nominated is necessary. If the re-
visionists in the Nominating Commit
tee secure the nomination of commit
tee composed entirely of revisionists,
the anti-revisionists in the Assembly
will of course lift up their voices in

Talks on Labor and Capital.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May ga grand
union meeting of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers was held at the
Hyperion Theatre yesterday In the
morning private business session was
held, which was attended by about 500
members. At the public session in the
afternoon fully 1000 people were in
attendance. After prayer by Grand
Chaplain Dority, of Charleston, Mass. ,
addresses of welcome were made by
Chief of Division Corbett, Lieutenant
Governor Merwin and Mayor Peck.
Grand Chief p. NJ. Arthur then de-
livered an address in which, after tell
ing the audience "who we are and what
we aim to do" he said among other
things:
1.-The moral standing of a railroad
man twenty-seven years ago was not
very high; there has been marked
Improvement in his standing since that
time. In regard to strikes, l hold that
the policy OF the Brotherhood is Just
and wise one in dealing with differences
that arise between employer and en-
ploye. My idea of solving such prob
lens Is in the words of the Bible: Come
let US reason together Whenever there
has been railroad disposed to meet
US and reason with our members u
strike has never occurred. There is no
such thing in the Brotherhood as or
dering strike. No one is vested with
the authority of ordering men to quit. l
am opposed to our Brot herhood forming
| an alliance with any other class of la
Dor. Character makes the man and
without that no organization can sue
| coed. l attrikAte our success to the
fact that We have kept aloot from all
ether organizations. Our policy has been
| in plain, solid English: Mind your own
business When the Brotherhood fed
| crates with any other organization it
| will forfeit the respect, not only of the
public at large, but the employers"
| AS Chauncey NJ. Depew stepped to the
| front of the platform he was given a
rousing reception. He began his re-
marks by saying: II want to say at the
| outset, and to say it as president of the
| New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad, that every word uttered by
Grand Chief Arthur is endorsed by
me-" He then continued: II am here not
SO much to make speech a. to be here.
Railroad service demands intelligen ce
and character. The question between
capital and labor has been better settled
by the Brotherhood than by any other
organization in this country. Labor
has come to the protection of capital
against demagogues."

CARPET WOOL AND sHoDDY
a Case of Protection That VIII Protect No
body and lnjure All.

a Case of Protection That VIII Protect Mo-
body and Injure ALL
Secretary Rusk insists in a recent let
ter that we can and must grow our own
carpet woods. 1t is to bring about this
result that the tariff bill now before
Congress contains clause which raises
enormously the duty on carpet wool.
At present carpet wool worth less than
twelve cents a pound pays a duty Of two
and one-half cents pound; carpet wool
above the twelve cent limit pays five
cents only.
The law now proposed raises the duty
on wool worth twelve cents or less to
three and one-half cents; and on that
above twelve cents, the duty is to be
eight cents pound. This is an attempt
to compel farmers to raise carpet wool.
But why do we not raise carpet wool?
Because we have developed our wool
growing industry beyond that stage.
Our farmers used to produce carpet wool
but they soon found that they could i'm
prove the breed of their sheep and pro-
duce finer grade of wool. Accordingly
we produce no carpet wool now. The
grower finds it much more profitable to
produce Merino clothing wool worth
thirty cents a pound, or more, rather
than to waste his time and energies in
producing carpet wool worth only ten or
twelve cents. A sheep with coarse car
pet wool on its back will eat Just as
much as one with fine clothing wool and
will cost just as much in every way.
Where is the sense then in trying to
compel our people to grow carpet wool
when they can do better for themselves?
Is it not like foolish attempt to make
water flow uphill, while it will serve
our purposes better by flowing down-hill?
Besides this the carpet manufacturers
of our country need the carpet wool Of
certain foreign countries The manu-
facturers are Sc; iously embarrassed in
many places. In Philadelphia, which is
the greatest carpet manufacturing CEN
ter in the United States, several large
mills are reported to be idle, and several
thousand laborers in the mills are out
of employment. Under the proposed
tariff the manufacturers would be ssri-
ously hindered, the wool-growers would
| still refuse to raise carpet WOOL and the
people who use carpets would foot the
bills for all this folly. The Mckinley
bill would put certain grades of carpet
woods absolutely out of reach Of our
| manufacturers. They will have to I'M
port practically every pound Of wool
they use, for even tariff of 100 per

THE strangest and most remarkable
grip stories yet told come from DR. N. G..
Paine, superintendent of the Westboro,
Mass, insane hospital, who declares that
he has seen it bring back the reason
of-several of his patients. OF four wo-
men that all entered the hospital with
acute manit, two had afterwards passed
into dementia. That all, including the
last two, were lifted out Of their hopeless
condition is a phenomenon rare even in
the wonders of medical records. The
three men who have recovered were
similar in the character of their disease
having delusional insanity, with halluc-
nations Of hearing, which is a
form of insanity generally consid-
cred incurable and from which
only small proportion recover.
That makes seven of the eighty-six pat
tents attacked by the influenza who APP
pear to have recovered. Much more inn
portent is the conclusion-that five of
the seven would never have recovered if
the epidemic would have passed by.

TARIFF OF 1893.

So that free foreign wool and high
priced domestic wool go together. Why?
Because the demand is lessened for
home woods unless foreign woods are
mixed with them, therefore, the easier
the entrance of foreign wool the more
the demand and the higher the price OF
domestic wool. That is the reason. If this
increased demand of domestic wool ran
1t up in price 25 per cent higher, it
were better for the manufacturer to
stand this than to pay SO per cent. duty
on the foreign wool which had been
mixed with it heretofore under the
existing tariff.
The advance of a5 per cent. in the
price of domestic wool, and the saving
of so per cent. on foreign wool leaves a
clear saving of IS per cent. on the
finished goods: and the consumer would
get his share of the saving.
