BRIGGS INDICATED,
The Case Against him for Heresy Dis.

A New York dispatch says: The pres
bytery, which was to try Professor
Charles B. Briggs, of the Union Theolo-
gical seminary, for heresy. met Wednes-
day morning in the Scotch Presbyterian
church, with a large attendance. Pro-
lessor Briggs was present and pleaded
his own case. One of the chief charges
against him was that he disputes the ex-
emption of the Bible from error. The
session ended by the presbytery dismisss
ing the charge. DR.. Briggs read
his statement, in which he OBJ
jected te the charges as lacking specifi-
cations and vague. He said no man re-
GREETED more than he any disturbance
to harmony in the church. He de-
clared his belief in the Bible as the
only rule of faith and belief. DR.. Van

said he did SO not in the interest Of

BUSINESS REVIEW.
The Outlook as Reported by Dun 6 Co.,
for Past Week.


Dun's review of trade for week ending
October 30th, says: Business failures
during the past seven days number for
the United States 207, Canada, AZ, com.
pared with total of 249 last week and
s59 the week previous; the correspond
ing eek last year, 218, representing 100
failures in the United States and % in
Canada.
Improvement in business continues.
It is greater than before at the west, con-
Tiderable at the south, and is clearly per-
ceived even at the st. Yet discourage
ment in some branches of industry is not
less, but more apparent than before,
evidently because calculations have been
made upon a more rapid and greater in
crease in business than has been realized.
The peculiar expansion in some forms Of
production and of trade has invited the
| usual incorrect view, and depression ex-
lists which is SO general that it might
easily be misinterpreted.
The iron industry shows most change
for following the large increase of output
last mouth, there has come a decided
change of tone. Extreme anxiety to
sell pig iron, and financial weakness in
unexpected quarters produce the present
with the Astounding confidence which
prevails regarding the future. Plate
mills have fair business at the lowest
prices ever recorded, and structural iron
10 irregular and also very low. The
anthracite coal market is more cheerful,
the production to October Gath being
81, sos, 975 tons, or 8, 059, 447 more than
last year to date.
The dress goods market is active and
works we'll employed, though narrow
margins of profit. Cotton mills have an
increasing business in fancies, but the
trade in staples is falling off and buyers
urge that lower prices are justified by the
decline In raw cotton. Yet the southern
demand is better and trade, on the whole,
fairly good.
Reports from other cities than New
York are decidedly more encouraging
than usual, though at the east the i'm
provement is not rapid. At most southern
points general trade improves, but at
Charleston money is tight. Wheat rises
cents without any excuse. Speculative
manipulation has hoisted corn cents,
but pork products are u shade lower, and

ing heavy reeeiptsA Oil has fallen three

TIE COMING WAR ON DOGS

What may be the germ of great reform is
reported from Mt Carmel. Conn. A farmer named
Norton is responsible for it, AS yet his voice is
the voice Of one crying in the wilderness, but il
would be rash to predict that il may not some
day become movement and attract general
attention.
The embryotic crusade to which we refer Is
directed against dogs; that is, the new thing
which it is directed against is dogs Mr. Norton
has large apple orchard, and month ago he
discovered that he had great deal more fruit
than he could dispose of, even by putting up a
sign saying that small boys caught stealing apples
would be prosecuted-a notice which, of course at
tracted all the small boys for miles around. Mr..
Norton decided to give away all OF the surerfuous
fruit TO the poor. But he had no desire TO give
any of it TO the criminal vicously inclined poor,
and 50 he advertised in the local papers as fol-
lows: Il will deliver, free of expense. during the
month Of October, fifty bushels of good apples

but is now divided
Military government is not an unmixed evil IN
countries like Uruguay, the Argentine and Mex
leo, where there arc railways available for rapid
transportation of troops In such instances reyo-
utionary movements are easily suppressed and
public order is resolutey maintained. In
country of vast territorial extent and few rail-
ways military government cannot be strong
enough to accomplish these supreme purposes
and hence the evil tendencies OF irresponsible
power predominant. In the present instance,
while the restoration of monarchy is not favored
in any quarter, the army has suspended tne
operation of the Constitution and has divided
into two camps II there were coast railway
from Para to Rio Grande do Sui, strong and
effective military government would be prac-
ticable. As the construction OF such railway
cannot be hoped for, at least in several genera
tions. the standing army will be source OF
weakness rather than strength. If 1t were mus
tered out of service and an efficient national
guard were organized in the States, the chances
of counter-revoution and civil war would be
diminished; but under prevailing conditions OF
public ignorance this would be hazardous ex-
pertinent. Repubicanism will ultimately triumph
because no other form of government is possible
in Brazil but q transition period OF confusion
and uncertainty will intervene.

4 SUGGESTION TOUCHING THANKSGIVING

A SGGGESIION IOCtHINU 1HHN hNHf| INb.
In obedience to the proclamatons of the Prpsi-
dent of the United States and the Governors of
our respective commonwealth all the people of
this Republic will devote next Thursday TO
thanksgiving. That is to say, they all will
ostensibly-all on whose heads the bump of graf
tude is as well developed as il ought TO be-
But il is to be feared that many of the multi
tudinOus inhabitants OF this great town of ours
however laudable their intentions, will be so
busy with other things on Thursday as to have
precious little time to devote to anything ap,
proximatng to a conscientious review of their
share of the manifold mercies of the year or to
devote to benefcent Thanksgiving deeds. For
on the morning of Thanksgiving thousands Of
New Workers will be getting good ready for
the football match in the afternoon they will be
gazing with breaths a good deal bated upon the
collegiate gladators and after that the great
home feast of the year will long claim their I'M
divided attention. And dinner DONE the supply
of Thanksgiving hours remaining manifestly will
be UNEQUAL to the demands which will be made
upon them by the crowding reflections suggested
by the great festival-unequal if adequate Justice
is to be dene to Thanksgiving in all that il
implies. And, of course, il will be too late for
the performance of deeds of'charty worthy of
Thanksgiving.
Hence ID is that we venture TO suggest TO those
who purpose to attend the football match-which
has come to be as assuredy associated with a
metropolitan Thanksgiving as our esteemed con-
temporary, the Turkcy-that they devote to-day
- well ss Thursday next 10 thissfestiyal. Let
