To Gin and Pack Cotton Free.

President Stokes wants the Government to
coin the silver free of cost TO the miners. We
are not able to understand how he and his
followers have been misled into any such
great interest in behalf OF the miners. II he
and his satellites had proposed TO gin and
pack the cotton of the farmers free OF cost
we could have understood that the object was
TO do something for the material advance
ment of our people.
Instead OF q warehouse in which to store
cotton, let the Government put up public
gin house at every Court House. where all
good Alliancemen could get their cotton gin
ned free OF cost There would be sense in q
proposition like this.

PARNELL DENOUNCED
ARCHBISHOP WALSH WRITES A
SCATHIyG CONDEMNATION OF
THE DEAD MAS.

Ispecialto TIM woRlp.l


LONDON, October 9.-The Dublin
Catholic, an official organ Of the Catho-
lie hierarchy, printed to-day leader
written by Archbishop Walsh which
win create sensation and meet with
expressions of dissent. The prelate
boldly follows Parnell into the grave
with the denunciations of the Church.
He says; Mr.. Parnell's death is one
Of those events which remind the world
of God. So faras known Mr.. Parnell
died unrepentant IF the offense against
his God and his country. He died
plotting fresh discord, while the cham
pion or the tool of faction, stepped IN
traitorism to the very lips. BY the
grave now open, charity can scarcely
find a place. Such tears as are shed
must be for the memory Of what he
had once been.
1.-THE name of Parnell and the story
of Ireland's destinies are forever linked.
The record of his services must always
live. The pity is that it must be read
through the tangled veil woven in his
later days Of pride, sinfulness and fall
sity. Parnellism is dead. 1t is impos-
sible to say how far Parnell's name
may still be used as rallying cry for
treachery. The weeds which grow on
the grave of dead cause are noxious
and rank. But there is no cause to
feal that those which spring from the
tomb of Parnellism will be able to
thwart the freedom Of Ireland. Her
feet are strong enough to tread down
the unholy growth. To Catholics the
close of Mr.. Parnell's career is one Of
terrible significance. Death has come
in the home of sin, his last glimpse Of
the world unhallowed by the consola-
tions of religion, his last memory
linked forever with hers whose presence
seems to forbid the thought of repen-
tance. He has passed into, eternity
without sign Of sorrow for the insult
offered to morality, for his offense
againstt the law resting at the base OF
society, for his revolt against his ma
tive land and against the amounted
prelates and ministers of God'sC Church.

4 RuMPUs OVER THE BIBLE.
Especial to THE woRID

FLINT, Mich, October9. The ques-
ton of having, the Bible taught in the
pnblic school has aroused a heated dis
cussion here and will result in lengthy
litigation. Formerly the Bible was
never used in public schools, but agi-
tation from pulpits caused itsadoption
in several institions. There was Wig
orous opposition, and in Kearsely Dis
tri6t School the teacher, Mrs. Mary
Cummings, was ordered not to use the
Bible. She persisted, and the School
Board, rather than give in, closed the
school this morning.
The board claims that Mrs. Cum
mings agreed not to read the Bible.
Mrs Cummings has brought suit against
the board to compel it to open the
school and allow her to proceed with
her work.

He walks 375 Miles and Puts up with a
Good Many Hardships.

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 9.-Bishop
Coleman, Of the Delaware P. E. Dio-
cese, returned here yesterday from q
twenty DAYS pedestrian tour through
The Shenandoah Valley and other parts
of' Virginia, during which he covered
$40 miles. His walk began III Harris
burg and ended at Roanoke after i
circuitous route.
The Bishops identity was unknown
to the residents, and he was mistaken
for a detective, book agent, circus adj
vance agent and speculator. One
individual, who thought he was trying
to ferret out moonshiners, offered to
give him points. The venerable walk
er was not favored with pleasant wealth
er, for the thermometer exceeded 100
degrees during much of the journey.
At village between Harrisburg and
Staunton the populace we're suspicious
Of the tourist and would not accommo-
date him. Not wishing to spend the
night in the open air he burst in the
door of a forsaken dwelling and slept
on the floor. The next morning he
walked three miles for breakfast. One
afternoon, while mapping under trees
he was rudely awakened by snake
which was coiled uncomfortably neal
him.

minute specifications by committee
appointed at a previous meeting of that
body. He is charged with teaching
doctrines in his inaugural address to
the seminary mentioned which conflict
with and are contrary to the Bible and
the standards of his church, and with
being unsound in his views as to the
character, state and sanctifcation Of be-
lievers after death. DR.. Briggs will
conduct the defense personally.
He is regarded as the head of the
new school of Presbyterians, and in
learning and ability commands the at
tention of educated people everywhere
The expectation seems to be that he
will be found guilty Of the charges
made against him, with the probable
result that he will withdraw from mem
bership in the religious body Of which
he has long been an ornament.
DIR. Briggs was born in New York
City in 1S41. After his graduation at
the universities of Virginia and Berlin
he entered the Union Theological Sem
mary, New York, where he was gradu-
ated with the class Of 1868. He spent
the following few years in business
pursuit. In 1870 he was chosen pastor
of church at Roselle, N. J. Since
1875 he has been connected with the
Union Theological Seminary as Pro-
fessor.
