II is astonishing what apparently re-
mote and fanciful topics at times excite
the solemn consideration Of the most Sc.
date persons In the world. Presbyterians.
perhaps, are not generally noted for keen
sense Of humor. but there must have
been some subdusd hilarity In the Gen
eral Assembly at Detroit the other day
when the question Of a device for a new
seal, serpent twined about a cross, was
elaborately discussed and learned speeches
we're made by the advocates and the
enemies Of the serpent. in early iconog
raphy such device was used to symbol.
ize the victory Of Christ over the devil
but the simple faith Of the worshirers
In the Catacombs is not TO be expected ID
these skeptical latter days. II was, per
haps a gust OF the modern critical spirit
not wholly alien from that which DR.
Briggs applies to the Bible, or freak Of
individuslism like that which inspired
the last sermon OF DR.. PRrkhurst, whicl
induced the thoroughly aroused assembl,
to erase from the device that horrid
loRthsome and abominable snake"
Evening journal., 1891-05-29

THE Republicans may be unduly ex-
cited about what Mr.. Carpenter did ten
years ago when in fact the real danger is
what they intend to do now to promote
Illegal voting. The Democrats should
not be diverted from their work in
preventing illegal voting.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The Pulpit and the Key.


New York Herald.
Speaking from a layman's point Of
view, we have always supposed that the
grand truths Of christianity were so
firmly embedded that investigation and
hostile criticism serve only to show their
stability. II 1t is really fatal to q man s
belief to reason about It. or to examine
it In the light of the best science, then
all the more need for examination
What the PresbyteriRns want is one
thing, but what the world wants is a
creed that is ready to meet all comers
and Is able to hold its own against all
odds These heresy trials seem TO prove
that some Christians are so timid lest
their faith be shaken that they would
like TO check inquiry. We don't care tC
dogmatlze TO the dogmatists, but we
have q strong conviction that In many
quarters there is a great deal more OF
reasonable religion in the pews than tbs

such collector had not such right to

Does the BIN Provide?
1t only remains to consider whether
the act of April 2S, 1891, has provided any
fundamentally or agency for the collee-
tion of taxes now due to this county and
remaining uncollected. The act, In my
opinion, has provided no such
instrumentality or agency. 1t has created
the office of receiver of taxes
and county treasurer, and 1t has also
created the office of collector of delin-
quent taxes; hut the duties of the re-
ceiver of taxes and the county treasurer
and lof collectors of delinquent taxes re-
late, so far as the collection of taxes is
concerned, solely to the taxes laid during
this year and to be laid in succeeding
years. Section 2 provides that it shall
be the duty Of the Levy Court Commits
sioners to have prepared from the assess
ment lists for the year 1891, AMI as shall
De settled thereafter Ia succeeding years,
duplicates Of taxes for each hundred for
the use of said receiver of taxes, on or
before the 6rst day in July every
year, and shall fix the rate Of
county and poor taxes and issue
their warrant TO the said receiver
for the same. Collectors of delinquent
taxes are to be appointed BY the receiver
OF taxes and county treasurer for the pur
pose Of collecting such taxes with which
he is charged as shall remain unpaid after
the first OF January of each year. There
is no authority whatever conferred bv
the act upon either the receiver Of taxes
and county treasurer, or the collectors Of
delinquent taxes, to collect taxes now
due and unpaid.

is now In force no provision Of law

GUILD-Flora A. Guild was born in Som

died at her home in Russellville, Arcadia
Valley, August 26th, 1891. When but nine
years of age she emigrated to Arcadia VAL

and sisters, which has been her home ever
since. At the age OF nineteen she was mar
r;ed to Mr.. A. B. Guild, with whom she liv-
ed most happily until his death, December
18th, 1874. Four children were born to them,
two OF whom were taken to the Happy Land
in their childhood, while two, Mr.. Frank
Guild of Sedalia, NO., and Mrs. VIM. Delan
of Arcadia Valley, remain to mourn their
loss. She was a devoted and self-sacriticing
wife and mother and grandmother. She
united with the Presbyterian Church OF

wear 1861, and lived truly consistent Chris.

That advice was UNDECIDED, and, as result,
the town is to-day without a marshal. We
ave had three, and the most important act
of each was his designations not that aught
could be said against their characters, or
that we have aught against them; on the
contrary, they are our friends, and we con-

Our town has again been been visited with

from the bills, looks as though it might be
worth taking in if advertising goes for any
thing, and we are inclined to the belief that
there is great deal in advertising, as has
been proven in our picnic just held.
