REFORMED PREsBYTERIANs.
The Suspended Minister'S Cases Create
Animated Discussion.


Animated Discussion.
PursBURe, May 2y.-At today's ses-
sion of the Reformed Presbyterian
synod, the appeals of various suspended
ministers were presented to the synod,
but were referred to the committee on
discipline, without being read. The re-
port of the board Of missions showed
that one-third of the amount required
had been contributed. A resolution to
prefer charges against a number OF min
listers for having written letters and
giving utterance in the newspapers to
their views on the recent trials Of the
suspended ministers, caused an ami
mated discussion.
The entire afternoon was occupied by
DR.. McAllister, who held the floor
against attacks from every side. His
motion to try the four elder ministers
before the seven younger, was finally
lost, and the younger ministers will be
heard Monday. The minority has grown,
and should the eleven ministers be re-
tired from the church, it looks as if
twenty will follow them.

The Gar In Moscow.

Moscow, May 29.-The czar and czar-
ina and the Grand Duchess Xenia ar
rived today. They drove to the Krem-
lin, receiving enthusiastic greetings
from the dense crowds that lined the
route. The discovery of four large boxes
of dynamite in the customs department
cf the French exhibition, last Sunday,
was in part the reason for the delay Of
the royol party in coming.

\ coEoNEE's JURY VERDICT.

II is fortunate that a Coroner's jury does
not have this last say in murder cases.
While the men composing Coroner's jury
may be and often are as intelligent as trial
jules, their conclusions are often Of a queer
character. In the case Of Du Rose, the IN
70 tunate man who killed his wife for an
offense that would have entitled him to a
separation. the COroner's jury find that the
act was committed under great mental ex-
element. The jury does not say that no
guilt Is attached to this act, but in the lack
of finding guilt the slayer is exonerated.
This is neither good law nor good morals.
No law, divine or human, gives a husband a
right to kill an erring wife. He may put her
away, but he may not take her life. When
he does take life he commits murder The
more clearly this fact is impressed upon the
mind the better it VIII be for society. That
the act of killing was committed under great
mental excitement viii be admitted. So, if
two men have a quarrel and one draws a
pistol and shoots the other, killing him,
there is more or less mental excitement.
Compassion for man who has taken life in
a moment Of passion should not blind the
executors Of the law to the good Of the public.

WOMEN, YOUNG AND OLD.

Mrs. (. A. Allen, the new President of
the woman's club known as SOrosis, lately
delivered discourse on the text that sd
woman's empire is bounded by her YOUTH
and explained to her hearers that when a
woman has grown old the only thing to be
done with her is to lay her ON the shelf To
this doctrine the New York Sun takes ex-
ception, and argues that the period of life at
which women have exercised the most in
huence In society aud over men especially
comes after their youth has gone by, and
with the development of their minds and
character. The Sun cites actresses as in
stances In which fame and popularity opIy
come with years, and it mentions that all the
great social leaders have been ladies who
had passed the first bloom Of youth.
1t is comforting to women who are made
aware by their looking glass that their
beauty is on the decline to believe that
their empire is not in the like case; that
they may still rule where they once reigned,
and hold the rougher sex at their feet But
this is probably delightful delusion. Mrs.
Allen is erhaps nearer the truth when she
AYERS that womans sway ends when she
fails to attract adorers by the power of her
personal beauty. 1t is true that the ladies
whose salons cut so large figure in Euro
pean history were ladies of a certain age;
but their guests were not; they would have
found 1t difficult t. fiji their rooms if they
had not decorated them with blooming young
maidens. The men would have STAYED
away, and the salon, destitute of men of wit
and learning and distinction, would have
ceased to constitute a social center II
would be better for men to cnnsort with
ladies whose age and experience fit them to
be wise counselors There is nothing more
delightful than the conversation of an old
lady who knows the word, and preserves
the klndliness of her temper and the spright
illness of her wit. But man is such A per
verse creature that he will often desert the
companionship of such lady for a young
thing whose chief recommendation is her
bright eyes and her smiling face.
There are, of course. limitations to the
rule. A girl in her first season. with faint
fragrance of bread and butter hanging
around her, is pretty dull company. She is
capital in a waltz, and will do well enough
for an after-supper filtration. But people
who have once entertained her for an even
ing are not inclined to repeat the expert
ment, unless they harbor matrimonial de-
signs But after the girl has been under fire
In Two, or three, or half dozen campaigns;
after she has crossed swords with bright
men, and learned something of the times in

METHODS OF No1IINAT1oN.

Political bosses and would-be bosses are
distrustful of the workings of the feature
of the so-called Australian system which
permits percentage of voters to place a
candidate on the official list without run
ming the gauntlet Of political convention
The organ of one of these would-be bosses
recently said that the bosses would dictate
nominations much more absolutely without
conventions than with them. The voter, it
adds, would find on his official ballot only
two sets OF nominees to choose from, one
set nominated by the bosses and the other
by piece club. This assertion will not go
far when we consider that in the event Of
nominations that are regarded as having
been dictated by the bosses a small proper
ton of the voters can place another set of
nominees on the official ticket. for whom
voters may vote without loss of political
standing. 1t does not follow that the
voters who nominate by petition, as is pro-
vided for in the bill before the Legislature
constitute piece club The men they may
place in nomination will depend largely for
support on the character and standing of
the petitioners.

THE FREE COINAGE TRAP"

The Philadelphia Record says the Demo-
cratic Senators will have Jumped out of
the frying-pan into the fire if they have de-
feated the Force Bill, only to fall into the
free-coinage trap" This is equivalent to
saying that bad as the Record thinks the
Election Bill it thinks the Free-colnage Bill
worse. The CALL, as our readers know,
has advocated sufficient purchases of silver
to raise the market value Of that metal to its
former ratio TO gold. We believe that if
81, coo, 600 worth of silver month had been
coined since 1873 the value of silver would
now approximate to the old ratio. But if
Congress should pass a free-coinage law the
worst that can happen is a temporary drop
TO the silver standard. But the increased
use of silver would speedily restore the
white metal 10 its old relation TO gold. For
a time we should experience the inc0nven-
ience of two kinds of money of different
values, but in the end these values would
equaIize, aud we should have metallic basis
for currency twice as broad as Wa can have
with the single gold standard.

A PRETTY STEEP TAX.

A correspondent of the Brooklyn On. "
Eagle has entered into a close calculation of
the rate of taxation on land that would be-
come necessary if all other taxes should be
abolished. That rate he estimates at about
per cent on the full present value of land.
The uncertain factor in his calculations is
the estimated amount of revenue that would
be necessary. The present value of land he
finds to be S1O,S63 972, S47. The amount of
revenue needed he estimates at $780, 600, 900
annually. To raise this amount of revenue
from land tax of little more than per
cent of its present value would be neces-
sary. The SS00,OOO,OO0 it should be borne in
mind, is in lieu of national, State, county
and municipal taxes. Possibly the esti-
mate of Ss00,00 600 is too large. The State,
county and municipal tax of the city of San
Francisco is less than 2 per cent on IA full
valuation of real and personal property. Ii
we take personal property and improve
ments from the aggregate of assessable
property we would have a tax rate of be-
tween Sand per cent This would leave
about the same amount to be raised for ma
tional purposes. What would a laboring
man gain by substituting tax of per cent
in place Of the ordinary rental of land?

and people who are not willing to become
her slaves had better keep out of the range
of her guns. 1t Is from % to 26
that the sex is most dangerous, and, as sta
tistics show, most marriages take place be-
tween those years.
To say that a woman loses her empire
after 80 or 50 is not exact. She loses one
empire-the world-to gain another-her
home. She cannot sway drawing-rooms by
the magic of her eye, or the witchery of her
voice. But in this she is merely obeying the
common law Of human nature, which orders
regular progression of aims. duties, hopes,
ambitions and wishes. There are lots of
things which a man can do at %, but which
he neither can nor wishes to do at 30. When
a lady around whose eyes the crowfeet have
begun to gather wonders that men are not
so willing as they used to be to sit at her
feet and drink the poison of her glance, she
forgets that she is human, and that she has
no more real ground of complaint than
man of 80 would have if he found that he
did not enjoy leap-frog any more.
