THE BEST STYLE OF PAVEMENT.

Mayor Gourley's point raised yesterday
at the Board of Awards meeting that as
phalt should not be laid upon streets over
which there is heavy hauling, may
apply in some cases; but the most
frequent and urgent cause for complaint
is that asphalt is not used as often
as it should be. In every particular, ex-
cepting its resistance to extremely heavy
traffic, it is superior to cobble-stone, block
With the svstem of railroad switches and
river lighterage which is being established
for moving the heaviest of Pittsburg's
products from the mills and manufactures,
the extremely heavy loads upon the streets
will not be SO frequent or SO noticeable. At
least they cannot be considered factor
when it comes to choosing payements for the
outer wards.
1t is an excellent idea for the members of
the board to use their independent judg-
ment as far as they feel they can rely upon
it, in the matter of pavements. But it is i'm
possible to ignore the fact that asphalt,
vulcanite and kindred clean and noiseless
pavements are growing in popular favor
here and elsewhere. Such is not the case
with stone, excepting where, as upon Euclid
avenue, Cleveland, the blocks are laid in
tar and filled with tar between the joints.
A point in regard to the pavements usual
ly classed together as asphalt. which Mayor
Gourley and his colleagues might, however,
well consider. is the monopolistic features
Trinidad article all over the country Prices
are lifted so high as to Justify experiments
upon other lines. But, other things any
thing like equal, smooth, noiseless and
clean pavement is, as a matter of course,
quiet preferable to one devoid of these quail
ties

IMPROVING THE MISSISSIPPI.
General Comstock Approves the Results of
the Eads Jetty System.

the Fad Jetty System.
WASHINGTON, May IA series of hearings
upon plans for the improvement of the Missis-
sippi river was begun by the Senate Committee
on Commerce to-day. The members of the
Mississippi River Commission, Captain Cow
den, of Lake Borgne outlet fame, and num-
ber of other persons interested in the subject
were present.
General Comstock, Chairman Of the Missis-
sppi River Commission, made a statement of
the work done by the com mission, and said the
results had been favorable. He opposed the
Lake Borgne outlet scheme. In his opinion the
Eads jetties had not raised the bed of the river.
The levees had not raised the bottom of the
river, but the high water leyellhas been raised
somewhat by levees.

Tho Revisionists Not Harmonious.

NO AAcNisioututs Not
THESE five classes may have hard time OF it
in acting harmoniously. One class does
not want the old creed touched, but wants
something added to the end of it. Another
thinks the wording of the whole confession
should be changed. A third believes that few
features of the creed need revision. while a
fourth object to the entire confession. Some
of these divisions, while favoring revision in a
general way, would. it is said. rather vote
against any change at all than 60 clear over
with the anti-C -Calvinists. Even if two-thirds of
the Assembly favor revision, it may be long
time before any change can be made.
Many of the best ecclesiastical lawyers say
that the General Assembly of 1889 had no con-
stituIional right to tell the Presbyteries to vote
upon the question of revision at all. and that
an overture for revision must have been made
to the General Assembly by at least two-thirds
of the Presbyteries in the country before it had
the rightful prerogative of doing anything in
the matter. This constitutional objection will
be pressed by such churchmen as President
Francis L. Patton, of Princeton College. and
George Junkin, of Philadelphia, both of whom
think that the General Assembly OF 1889 went
beyond its bounds.

Uninstructed Delegates.
X EV. DIR. HoYT, of the Chambers Presby-
terian Church, Philadelphia. says it is not
possible to tell now what proportion of the
delegates elected favor revision. as they go un.
instructed. As a rule the presbyteries which
oppose revision have elected delegates of the
the same opinion. but In some cases this is not
the fact The three presbyteries of Phila-
delphia are all opposed to revision, yet one of
the alternate delegates will not vote that way,
if he gets chance to vote at all. The dele
gates are generally of the same opinion as the
Presbytery which they represent, but they are
independent, and can vote as they see fit The
supposition is, however, that since the majority
OF presbyteries favor revision. the greater num-
Der of the delegates will also, though there may
not be the required two-thirds.
Dr. Hovt. who is delegate from the Phila-
delphia Presbytery is decidedly opposed to
any revision of the Confession of Faith, and
feels confident that the General Assembly can
not do more than discuss the question. While
conceding majority of delegates to the re-
visionists, DIR. Hoyt said that they were divided
into i've main classes, with several sub
divisions, while the people opposed to revision
were arrayed In solid mass against the move
