HARRISON'S CANDIDACY.

Russell B. Harrison has made a
good many unwise remarks concern
ing his father in the past but in his
latest interview he gave his opinion
as to his fathers candidacy and
quite likely stated the matter just as
it existed in his fathers mind. He
said he did not think his father
would enter the race if the wishes of
his family were consulted, but that
if the people demanded it it was a
different thing. He also denied the
printed statement that there was
any GOODNESS between his father and
Secretary Blaine. President Harri-
sons recent tour overcame mnch of
the prejudice that existed against
him in the West and many of the
leading republicans now regard him
as the coming man. Whether any
republican can be elected in 1892 is
another question:

DR.. Briggs Case.
The decision against DIR. Briggs
was not unexpected. Indeed, it has
at no time seemed quite possible for
the Assembly to decide otherwise
without approaching the whole sub
ject in an entirely different spirit, and
with a breadth and liberality of
opinion wel-nigh unknown in theo-
logical discussions. Starting with
the idea that particular creed must
be upheld, starting with the notion
that its defence and maintenance
against all opposition whatever is
the one sacred duty to which all
others must give place, men could
not well help deciding that DIR. Briggs
did not interpret nor teach the creed
as they understood it, and therefore

FOR HUMANITl'S SAKE.

The western public will be panied to
learn that the "Siberian Exile Petition
association" is out of funds, flat broke,
and unless some philanthropic soul rush
es to its rescue the central bureau, pre-
sided over by Rev. A. j. Mcclure, OF
Philadelphia, will not be able to forward
to the car of all the Russias the monster
petition, signed by 100000 Americans,
urging clemency for the Slbeslan exiles.
What lot of rot all this is What an
immense amount of misdireCted energy !.
Of course there is a grand principle OF
humanity involved, and it's all very we'll
for Americans to show themselves the
most humane people on earth; but What
profit is there in this, when the ear of
Russia is to have the final say-so in the
premises. Is there not greater field at
home for these good people? What would
they say to sending half a million names
to congress petltioning that the govern
ment appropriate 100000 toward the ex-
penses of national commission Of med
ical scientists whose duty it shall be to
investigate and report upon the subject of
climatoogy and its effect upon disease?
Here is sublime field for American phil
anthropists. They need not 90 away
from home in search of task of humane
inheritance
