The recent disciplining of DR.. Briggs.
and the proposition to mete out like treat
ment to Reverends Heber Newton and
Rainsford for alleged heterodoxy, has led
TO an impression that the churche. are
becoming more intolerant with the lapse
of time.
To counteract this impression the New
York Learner and Teacher, an educational
journal of high repute, submits a great
document which is vouched for as genuine.
the original having been preserved in
Book of Records, dating from early in
100 10 i749. and kept in an old Quaker
Westinghouse q: Greenpoint, Rhode
Island. IL reads as follows:
SEPTEMBER Is, i6s2.

There be now at sea ship, called the Welcome.
which has On board sn hundred or more of the
heretics and malignsnts called ouskers, with
W. Penu. who is the chief scamp, at the head of
them.
The general court has accordingly given secret
orders to Master Malachi Huseott, of the brig
Porpoise, to waylay the said Welcome slylv. as
near the Cape of Cod as may be, and make can
tive the said Penn and bis ungodly crew, so that
the Lord may be giorided, and rot Knocked on
the soil OF this new country with the heather

Much spoil can be msde BY selling the whole

Lord greas service by Furnishing the wicked. but
we shall make great good for His minister and
people.

Episcopal church would be brought into disre-
pute on the other side of the ocean, where the
power to try and convict heretics is VIGOROUSLY
feeble, as was seen In the case of the Essays snd
Reviews and in that Of Bishop colenso." DR..
Dix has written q letter In which he has ex-
pressed his entire sympathy with the movement.
The signers of the requisition repudiate the
Idea that Father Ignatius has in any way iniSi-
ated the step. They assert that the letter in
the Tribune from Bishop Seymour, of
Springfield, who IL considered by some the
most scholarly of the Bench of Bishops, and the
scathing rebuke administered TO Mr.. MacQgeary
at the Nineteenth Century Club by Rabbi Got
theil, did much to stimulate clerical opinion on
the subject; and in addition to these facts the
opinion OF the presiding bishop OF the church
has had great weight in the matter. Should
Bishop Potter institute an inquiry, proof viii be
given, It Is said, of DR.. Newtons denial OF the
virgin birth of the Savior, and of the resurrec-
ton of Christ's body. Should Bishop Potter de-
cline 70 move in the matter, a memorial will be
presented 70 the house of bishops. As Bishop
Potter has already given al opinion on Mr..
MacQuesTy's views, 1t ia felt that he cannot very
well refuse to act in the of the rector of All
Souls church. 1t would be hardly fair 70 at
tack Q clergyman in q diocesse remote from his
own and to allow a rich rector OF his own do

church, his orthodoxy viii be indicated.

and inequalities. Besides, Senator STAN
ford suggests an interest Charge low
one, to be sure, but still an interest charge
by the government, which in fifty years
would double the Indebtedness.
This charge the farmers would save by
banking on their own land and issuing
their own money. And il opens up other
possibilities in harmony with the new
movement. By no other means can the
money power" be so efectually "de-
posed" as by thus supplanting it. The
Tillman plan surpasses Stanford's in the
highly important particular that while the
latter would make borrowers of the farm
ers, Tillman would make them lenders.
Thus far it seems perfectly clear sailing
for the Palmetto state Governor. But evil
IDENTIFY there is weak spot that has es-
capped his attention. There has been no
intimation that the 800, 90 to be raised as
preliminary campaign fund" for the
new party is TO consist of that kind OF
money. The indications are that coin viii
be preferred. Has it struck the Governor
to consider how, in that case, he could
"size up" with the Senator? The pro-
posed new currency may be all right as to
land values, but the chances are that it is
wholly unfit for 'energizing" the new
party movement, at least as to "prelimin-
airy campaign purposes"

When the late Cincinnati conglomera-
ton dispersed it seemed that Senator
stanford's scheme for energixing farms by
cheap government loans upon them gave
him q safe lead and 3 sure thing for the
new psrty's nomination for president next
year. But Governor Tillman, OF South
Carolina, has come to the front with 4
proposition in the same line; Just as con-
stitutional; just as feasible, and more
economical and independent, which
throws that Of the California senator into
the shade.
why" says Tillman. ''if the farmers of
county desire to establish bank, could
they not subscribe their land to the stock
of the bank while living on it, and thus OBJ
tain tie needed increase of the circulating
mediums" This viii be pretty hard
oonundrum for Mr. Stanford TO answer.
There Is not the slightest reason in the
world. if his energizing views are correct,
why the farmers should not pursue this
course, nor is II open 20 the constitutional
question that might Re raised against his
government loan proposition.
Under Tiilmans plan the only action
required Of congress or the government
would be 20 guarantee this currency and

contemporary calls attention to the fact
that only about century earlier, on the
27th of October, 1853. history assures Us
that at the instigation of John Calvin, the
devout Servetus was burned at the stake
in Geneva for teaching doctrines that Cal
vim did not consider orthodox.
However, comparing the general temper
and enlightenment of this era with the
periods named. perhaps there is as much
of the spirit of intolerance and as much of

Briggs and Messrs. Newton and Rainsford
up TO opprobrium for including Reason

there was in burning servetus in 1858, or
as there would have been in trading Penn

THE NEW ENGLAND TOWN sYs.
TEN"


The effect of the town system of repre-
sentation-giving representation to towns
without regard to population, which pre-
walls in New England-has been graphic
ally presented in grouping of Connects
cut towns recently made by a noted math-
ematician. On the basis of the last census
(1s90) he divides the towns of the state
into four groups of about equal popula-
ton. One of these, with 8 towns and
a tax list of $l2O, 2O0, 600 sends s represent
atives to the legislature; the second, con-
tanning 10 towns and with a tar list of
So, 10000. sends 10 representatives; the
third, with So towns and tax list of 49,
10000, sends So representatives: the
fourth, with lis towns and $S3,0Oo, 600 tax
list, sends l73 representatives.
Thus the latter group, with about Is per
cent. of the population and % per cent. Of
the property, sends 50 per cent of the rep
resentatives, while the first group, with %
per cent. of the population and over 80 per
cent. of the wealth, has little over per
cent. of the representation. The condi-
tons are about as bad in New Hamp-
shire, and in some instances worse in
Rhode Island.
In the "wild and woolly West" with all
of its alleged faults and weaknesses, a
system that would give 173 representatives.
to one section of the state and only to
another equally populous and with larger
property interests, would not be tolerated
for as long time as it would take to FORM
ulate it. Exact equality is difficult of adj
justment and impossible to maintain from
one census to another, but such monstrous
inequalities as have been perpetrated in
New England are not consistent with any
pretense of popular Republican govern
ment

COLONEL 1NGKRsoLL,s SLIP.

Colonel Ingersoll, the eloquent agnostic,
delivered masterful lecture on Shake
speare a few days ago. 1t was one of the
happiest Of his many happy efforts. The
capabilities of the English language were
taxed to their utmost to furnish fit adorn-
ment for the bright children of the Colo
nel's fertile imagination.
But in the excess of his enthusiasm
and he was bubbling over with enthusiasm
he exposed weak spot in armor which
hitherto has been considered fiawless, and
which the lances of his vigilant enemies
have most gleefully pierced.
Referring to the attitude of Donnelly
and others in respect to the authorship of
Shakespeare subject which on this
occasion he had declined to meet Donnelly
and discuss, by the wayne admitted that
the proofs were not sufficient to establish
shakespeare's authorship of the works
that bear his name, according to the es-
tablished rules of evidence, but neyerthe-
less he declared in impassioned terms,
that with all his soul he believed in
Shakespeare as the author, simply because
he TAINTED to-
1t was, on his own showing, simple but
Astounding faith. And with a feryor
worthy of the devoutest saint in giving
vent TO religious zeal, and which from
such lips he would have sneered at as the
outpourings of superstition, he poured
forth deluge ofmatchless rhapsody based,
not on unerring reason but confessedly
upon unquestioning and obdurate faith.
He cannot prove that what he believes is
true, but intensely believes it all the same,
and would defend that faith TO the verge
of martyrdom. How he would shine in
the pulpit. Stranger things have hap
pened.
