President McCosh of Princeton tells
the Philadelphia Press that he is III
favor of "a shorter aud simpler creed'
than the Westminster Confession.
He wants a creed that Presbyterian
ministers will absolutely believe in and
preach from their hearts.
The inference, of course. is that they
do not so believe in the Westminster
Confession, though at their ordination
they all declared with great solemnity
that they sincerely received and adopt
ed it, "ss containing the system of
doctrine taught in the HOLY Script
ures." But how can they believe any
the more in the new creed proposed
by President McCosh, when he re-
quires that it shall not take lone j It
or title from the great cardinals of re-
ligious truth as thew are formulated in
our confession?" The Committee of
Revision appointed by the General AS
sembly of last spring was also instruct
did to make no changes which would
impair the integrity of the Calvinis!ic
sys EN-, though the very doctrines in
which the Presbyterian ministers do
not believe, and which they refuse to
preach, are the foundations of that
system.
President McCosh's plan is to get
over the difficulty by giving in his
shorter and simpler creed especial
prominence to the love of God for His
children" Yet the Calvinistic doc
trines of total depravity, election, par
ticular redemption, effectual calling and
the perseverance of the saints are to be
left unimpared. by President McCosh's
advice and the command of the Gener-
al Assembly. The Confession already
declares that God is "most loving,
gracious, merciful. abundant in good
ness and truth, forgiving iniquity,
transgression. and SIM" The new
creed could not go further than that;
and whatsoever the form of words it
used to express "the love of God for
His children" there would still re-
main the distinctive Calvinis.ic doc
trine that "some men and angels are
predestinated unto everlasting life, and

Congressman Mckinley and Brosius
are in bad repute with the Cubans
who have settled in Florida and be-
come citizens of the United States by
naturalization and Republicans by
association. The Mckinley bill strikes
a fatal blow at the Cuban tobacco in
dustry, which has become very impor-
tant at Key West, Tampa, Ocala,
Punta Gorda, ST. Augustine and 9th
err towns in Florida. Congressman
Brosius, not satisfied with the ruin
the Mckinley bill will bring upon
the business of the Florida Cubans,
in a recent speech attacked them on
the grounds of personal character,
charging that the Cuban workmen
employed in the Florida factories were
the scum of Cuba, "morally and intel
lectually inferior to the Chinese"
Mr.. Ramon RiverO, at meeting of
the Republican State Legue held in
Jacksonville, made spirited reply to
this criticism of his cOuntrymen, in
which he declared that the majority
of the Florida Cubans were not only
naturalized American citizens, but
members of the Republican party in
the bargain. 1t is quite proba BILE
that Mr.. RiverdO knew what he was
tdlhluS dUOub, So IdI DIS Ills CotHtI
men were concerned, and certainly no
one can blame him for being hurt at
the double attack upon the chief in
dustry of his fellow Cubans and the
character of those engaged in it.
But Mr.. Riverdo has not been long
enough an American eli tiZen to be-
come accustomed to the eXigencies of
American politics. There are not
enough Republican Cubans in Florida
to make that State Republican.
Mckinley may ruin their industry
and Brosius call them all the hard
names in the vocabulary without risk
ing the loss of a single Republican
Congressman or Presidential Eleetor.
The Mckinley Brosius idea of politics
is to take care ofthe States and Congress
sional districts that furnish big Re-
publican majorities and big money to
carry elections. The Republicans and
their industries in minority States
must take care of themselves and be
called hard names if they protest. This
isn't justice, of course, but justice and
the Neutrality-suspicious. scheme of poll
ties are two very different things

The one thing in the Burks-Noel
fight in Ste. Genevieve that we could
not understand, was-Why should
the 500 Burks men secede from a
meeting where their opponents num-
bered only $50? But even this difficult
problem is fully solved by the Herald,
and its statement bears the impress
of truth. That statement we deem of
sufficient importance to reproduce.
The Herald is a Republican paper,
and has no interest with either faction:
'sThe chairman of the County Central
Committee called the meeting to order
and Patrick Cummings nominated
William F. Cox, a Noel man, as chair
DIR. w. w. Scott, a Burks man. The
Noel men being in the large ajority
in the hall where the meeting was
called to order, William +. Cox was
chosen. The greatest enthusiasm was
manifested by the Burks men who
had an overwhelming majority out
side of the hall but could not come in
for want of room. 1t was the dancing
floor, open on the sides, where the
meeting took place, and some of the
Burks crowd not being able to come
near enough to the chair to get recog
milton in the great noise of the assem-
bled multitude and still eager to make
themselves heard climbed the pillars
ON which the roof of the dancing floor
rests and shouted ''Hurrah for Burksn
till they were hoarse. When Jasper
Burks saw that he was being downed
inside he called off his forces and
marched them little distance off,
where a second organization was per-
fected and the business of the day
proceeded with as in the hall. So
two sets of delegates were named. 1t
NAV be remarked that the Noel men
voted for their Senatorial candidate
by ballot, while the Burks men voted
in the good old style of UiUa UOce.
The actual vote showed 517 for Burks
and PSI for Noel. 1t may be imagined
that neither faction is satisfied with
the action of the other and a great
deal of vituperation is going one both
sides charging fraud in the organiza-
ton and in the counting of votes.

The deficit of Treasurer Bergman
of Madison county has not yet been
made good, and the prospect is that It
will not be until after a tedious course
of litigation-if it be then. Last week
the bondsmen and the county court
got together and tried to fix the matter
up, but no agreement was reached.
The bondsmen offered to pay $4,000 for
releasement, but the court wanted
Sc, 500. They then agreed to disagree,
and the matter will have to be settled
through the courts.

A Floating Island.

Sadawaga Lake, large sized pond
in Nottingham. VT, has one of the
most remarkable islands in the
world within its borders. The island
is larger than any farm in the neigh
borhood, containing over $50 acres.
Its peculiarities lie in the fact that
it daily shifts its position, being first
on the north, then on the south, and
again on the east or west borders of
the lake. 1t is known as 1.-THE
Floating Island" and has kept up
its aberrant voyage since time out of
memory. 1t has many trees upon
its surface, some of which are 20 to 80
feet in height, besides an immense
thicket of cranberry bushes. II is
rare that portion of the island
breaks off and sinks to the bottom,

just 100 rapids. writes Denver Re-

run the greater part of this 100 and
portrayed but few, ,and over. many of
them our boats have danced and
jumped at the rate of fifteen
miles per hour, and over some, by
actual measurement, at the rate of
twenty miles per hour for half mile
at time. Standing in the bow of
one of the boats as she goes through
one of these chutes, with first the
bow then the stern jumping into the
air as she shoots from wave to wave,
