ACoUNTRY CLUB.-The handsome new
home of the Union County Country Club
was opened to visitors on the last day
of the old year, and it is described as
one of the most attractive buildings of
the kind in that portion of New Jersey
lying adjacent to New York. It's casino
is one of the prettiest play-houses imag-
Unable, and there are, in addition,
billiard-rooms, bowling alleys, tennis
courts and fine library, all furnished
in the most artistic and luxurious style.
One might suppose from all this that
the farmers of New Jersey are amaz-
ingly prosperous, but those who read
the description to the end found tackled
to it modest announcement that most
of the members of the club are New
York business men. When real country
men can enjoy the privileges of country
clubs, even approximating this in con-
venience and elegance, there will be
less complaint Of the disposition of
farmers sons to come to the cities and
try to be business men.

Lecky, the historian. writes in the
same magazine about ireland in the
light of History The article is prin-
ciply remarkable for ignoring the land
question as cause of trouble. Mr.. Leclxy
thinks the disturbed state of that coun-
try is primarily due to the fact that the
conquest of Ireland under Elizabeth
took place just after the reformation.
He says that the result of this was that
the conquerors became Protestants, and
the conquered remained Roman Catho-
lies, but that, nevertheless, all breaches
might have been healed by a union of
the countries about 17OO. He does not
explain how this could have reconciled
the religious differences.
The land question shows itself, new
ertheless, in such incidental phrases as
the following: ''When population
pressed closely on subsistence the sys-
tenn of middlemen produced a fierce
competition, which raised rent in the
lower grades to an enormous height"
It would be more consistent were the
disturbances attributed to the owner
ship of the land by Protestants whose
tenants are Roman Catholics.

Place 100 men on an island from
which there is no escape, and whether
you make one of these men the absolute
owner of the other ninety nine, or the
absolute owner of the soil of the island,
will make no difference either to him
or to them.
In the one case, as the other, the one
will be the absolute master of the nine

life and death, for simply to refuse them
permission to live upon the island would
be to force them into the sea.-Progress

have not been heard of for some years.
The pioneer lawmakers met in the two
uppers rooms of small two story frame
building on Main street in Olympia. 1t
is now tumbledown affair, occupied by
the Gold Bar restaurant. The first ses-
sion took up ninety days. The first thing
the pioneer solons considered, of course,
after organization, was the message of
Governor Stevens. The message was of
pretty good length, and embraced many
of the things they most urgently needed.
Public roads, the Indian schools, and all
such matters received great deal of at
tention.
Ameng other things recommended by
the governor was the planting of grass
seed on Matches pass. The message called
attention to the fact that there was no
| feed there for the horses and cattle of
travellers, and said that while it was
days travel on each side of the noun
tains from grass to that point, there was
nothing there for stock. 1t ought to be
, attended to, else stock must go two days
without grass.
"In the consideration Of this part of
the message" said Councilman Seth
Catlin, who was noted for his directness
and wit, 81 do not think the governors
recommendation apropos. Wise as we
are, we can't make grass grow where God
Almighty can't"
The fact was the ground about the pass
was absolutely barren, there being no
soil there, and Catlin's speech shut of
further consideration of the matter,
amidst roars OF laughter.
Thurston county originally embraced
the whole OF Washington territory north
of Lewis. During the last session OF the
Oregon legislature before Washington ter

Theological Seminaries.
DETROIT, May 28.-The Presbyterian
gun in the Briggs fight
The Committee on Theological Semina-
ries condemns DR.. Briggs and strongly
advises that his appointment to the chair
of biblical theology in Union Theological
Seminary be disapproved.
The recommendation was coupled
with another to appoint a committee of
15 to confer with the seminary as to the
relations Of the institution with the gem
eral assembly. What this second recon-
mendation means no one seems to know.
The Rev. DIR. Roberts, Chairman of the
Westminster Catechism Revision Com
mittee, said frankly that he had not the
least idea what it meant The Rev. Dr.
Ormiston said: "It was the sugar coat
ing over the quinine pill" But he could
not explain his explanation.
1t is expected that the case will be
finally disposed of this afternoon.
The Rev De. Parkhurst of New York,
strong defender of DIR. Briggs, says |:
"If the General Assembly condemns
DR.. Briggs it is simply going to drive
some of our brightest and best men out
of the Presbyterian church, for, as said
in my sermon last Sunday, the question
that is on the lips of thousands Of
young men who are on the threshold of
the ministry is: Can entertain my in
tellectual self respectP My own idea is
that there is plenty Of room for cerebra-
ton within the limits of Presbyterian
principles
"The great trouble is that DR.. Briggs's
critics have fired at him from long range,
and in many instances without under
standing the facts in the matter at all
One distinguished minister wrote three

Conflicting Reports About the Esmeralda

wAsmNeroN, May 2s-The cruiser
Charleston reports to the Navy Depart
ment that she has arrived at Callao and
has seen nothing of the Itata.
The Charleston will join the squadron
under Admiral Mccain in Chilian waters,
and it is surmised that a report will soon
come thence announcing the peaceful
surrender by the insurgents of the elu-
sive craft, which the United States Gov
ernment will libel and perhaps forfeit for
violation Of our neutrality laws.
The report published in New York Of
advices by private letter from the City of
Mexico that the Mexican authorities are
giving aid to the Chilian insurgents, is
not borne out by any information in pos
session of the Chilian Legation at Wash
ington.
On the contrary, kilograms just re-
ceived report as follows: "Chilian re bel
cruiser Esmeralda still at Acapulco her
officers have been trying in vain to buy
provisions, merchants refusing to accept
the drafts offered in payment on credits
which are not considered good"
1t is also stated that President Diaz, of
Mexico, refuses to entertain any PROPOSE
tions from the Chilian rebels or in their
interest. This policy disconcerts the in
surgents as much as that of the Govern
ments of the United States, France, Ger
many and England has.
