RrsuLT OF THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.

A leading Republican journal admits
that since President Harrisons tour

ern people than ever before ana IN

sion on both sides has been removed
There Is probobly some truth In tniS'
II northern extremists, as Whole'
eould be brought face to face with the
people OF the south as Harrison mas
been. there is little doubt much OF this
sectional feeling that still animates the
northern masses would disappear.
One great cause OF this feeling has
been the northern ignorance OF the
southern people, their surroundings
their characteristics, and their dis
positiol 8. Harrison, thorough rep

tive towards the south as any OF MS
naipbbors I'm Indiana. But he has
seen the southern people in their
homes, partaken Of their hospitality
and goes away with old impressions
dissipated and feeling towards us
rather friendly than otherwise. All
that il now necessary to wipe out
forever the last lingering prejudiceS
that grew out OF the war, and unite
the two sections as they were in the
DAYS of old, is for their people to un-

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRAT.

As might be expected party organs
are harpipg on the fact that the recent
Kentucky Democratic convention fall
al IN endorse Cleveland. The incl
dent. though a fact, can hardly be
taken as an indication of Democratic
sentiment. There was aresolutlon Of
fered at the winding up of the conven-
ton backing up the course OF expires
ident Cleveland. There was no action
taken. 1t was doubtless passed over
in the hurry and tumult usually at
tending the breakup OF conventions.
II It was intentional it only shows the
representives of the Democratic party
of Kentucky did not think it
necessary to pass upon the
silver views Of Mr.. Cleveland which
the passage OF the resolutions would
have involved. Anyhow, the resolu-
tions we're premature, having special
reference as they undoubtedly did to
the contest OF 1899. The Kentucky
Democrats acted wisely in keeping
their feet of it, and declining to take
sides on q side issue which may b'
whisked out OF the way before the as
sembling OF the national convention
next year.
Whether the ignoring OF the Cleve
land resolutions by the Kentuckians
was accidental or Intentional it could
hardly much affect Mr.. Clevelands
chances In 1892. While his silver let
ter has cooled enthusiasm for him in
the West, it has undoubtedly strength
ened him in the East and made him
solid with the Democracy OF Massa-
shusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
It is most too soon for the Democ-
racy Of Kentucky, or any other state
to press its preferences in the Presi-
dental fight of next year.

WHO THEY ARE.

The third party affair at Cincinn att
could not be better guaged than by
the Arkansas members of their nation
al committee. L. p. Featherstone
heads the list. He is the gentleman
who held the seat Of Breckenridge, the
Democratic congressman from Arkan-
sas last session. Breckenridge was
elected, but Reed Il Co, turned him
out and put Featherstone in. F.. voted
with the Republicans on every issue.
Isaac E. McCraken is second on the
list. Mack is the gentleman who
"steered" the farmers wheel" of
Arkansas into the Union Labor ranks
last election.
j. o. A. Bush, the third member, is
a gentleman Of color. He has been a
barnacle on the body polite at Little
Rock for years. An employe in the
post office, ward worker and a
striker for the Republicans in every
crisis. These men are all Republicans
and their sole aim and object in asso
ciating themselves with third party
movement is to help the Republicans
all they can and do all possible dam.
age to Democracy. They don't care q
fig for the third party" except to the
extent that they can employ it as q
means to those ends.
That's the Arkansas part of the
crowd and those three bad eggs are
enough to condemn the whole "set.
tin"
Charlie Cunningham who called the
Cincinnati convention to order as
temporary chairman, has for time ont
of mind been a Greenback crank OF
the worst kind. He was the Union
Labor fgurehead for vice president in
the last national election. His home
is in Little Rock, too, but that should
not be held up against the City Of
Roses.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLIES.

Presbyterian church in the Unlte'
States now in progress at Detroit
Mich, and Birmingham, Ala, ar
among the most learned, educated ant
ablest ecclesiastical bodi n tn
world. Their decisions in matters per
tanning to christian doctrines will
therefore be accepted as coming from
authority entirely competent. 1t i
possible that before the Northern as
sembly at its present session maI
come the now celebrated case of Rev
DR.. Briggs of Union Theological semi,
nary, New York, who is charged with
heresy.
The indictment laid against him by
the presbytery OF New York is based
on his inaugural address delivered
some time ago on his assuming the
chair now occupied by him. 1t is
charged that in that address DIR.
Briggs made, in effect, the following
declarations:
/. That conformity with the bible,
the church and reason are sources OF
authority in religion.
Q. That the Bible contains errors.
8. Progressive specification after
death and in the intermediate period
between death and the resurrection
and day of judgment.
In regard to the first charge
President Hastings and the rest
OF the faculty of Union Theo-
logical Seminary, in card
published in the New York Herald a
week ago in the defense of DIR. Briggs,
while Directing to the word
source" held that there was
nothing in the address incom
patible with the Westminster
confession of faith the basis of Presby.
terianism. They assert that DR..
Briggs has not attempted to exalt the
church or human reason above the
Bible.
AS to the second charge they say
DR.. Briggs is unjustly charged with u
tendency to undermine the divine
authority of the Bible, but that he
holds and teaches the divine inspira-
ton, in allibility and authority of the
Scriptures.
These learned theologions say that
the attack in DR.. Briggs address was
not against the divine in
spiration itself as contained in the
Bible, but against the errors that
have accompanied its transmission
through various languages down
to us of the present day.
In this opinion they say Briggs is
not alone, but that John Calvin and
other distinguished divines OF the past
as we'll as the present hold the same
opinion.
AS to the third charge, they assert
DIR. Briggs, having rejected the doc
trines of other creeds concerning the
intermediate state. has an open field.
Nor, in their opinion, has he uttered
anything that justifies trial for
heresy, or his expulsion from the Pres
byterian church as a hereto, after the
fashion of the olden times. when men
were burned at the stake for opinio ms
sake.
The matter has stirred up pro-
found interest outside of church cir
Giles. The secular press has taken it
up, and DR.. Briggs, the graduate of
a Southern university, suddenly
finds himself the leader OF the liberal
party in the Presbyterian church of
America.
Whatever the outcome, it is to be
hoped the Bible will be left intact, and
its authenticity withstand the test OF
criticism as it has always done. With
out it humanity is like a rudderless
ship on the sea of Infinity.

THE GOVALLE ALLIANCE.

Judging from the resolutions adopt
cd by that body the other day the
GovallelAlliance has enunciated in its
resolutions whole volume of political
wisdom. ahd practical good sense.
The Govalle people hit the nail square
on the head and if the whole State AL
lance will occupy their platform, they
will have acted the part of patriotism
as we'll as political acumen. The local
Alliance denouuc7s the Third party
and the attempt to make of the AL
lance political organization. 1t re-
pudiates the sub-treasury foolishness
as visionary and impracticable. There,
that Is the situation in a nut shell.
Let the rest OF the Alliances in Texas
pattern after our Govalle friends.

BUTTER MAKING.
The making of gilt edge" butter
requires experience and skillful man
agement. The methods successfully
employed in the cold ATTITUDES fail
here at least in the matter of tempera-
ture. While SO degrees is the proper
heat to commence churning in the
north; experience has shown that 6s
| degrees ia right for the south.
Mr.: E. l. Kelsey, a professional but
ter maker Of North Carolina, writing
to Hoard's 7Dairyrnan says: after
experimenting several times I found
that cream could not be churned
or butter handled, at so low
a temperature here as in the
north, so adopted the following
rules. which give entirely satisfactory
results:
1. Commence churning at SO de-
grees.
2. Stop when the butter grauules
are the sizes Of wheat kernels.
3 Wash with clear. pure water till
all traces of butternilk are removed.
tempering the last bath to so degrees.
4. Sift the salt as eavenlv as possi
BILE over the butter while it is still in
the granular form.
) Let it stand twenty minutes or
till salt is thoroughly dissolved.
6. Revolve the churn until the butter
is massed, being careful not to ever,
work it.
Z. Print or pack Immediately from
the churn.
If colorine is needed. add TO the
cream after it has been brought to the
proper temperature for churnng.

Our butter goes to private custom

thirty five cents per pound, while those
