What Did 1t Mean?

It seems that when the Rev. Mr.. GooCH OF
Chicago proclaimed and defended the old
fashioned views OF the Scriptures before the
Congregational Council in London the other
day, his remarks were received with loud
cheers, O remarkable innovation In an Eng
fish house OF worship.
Yet there are no ministers and no theolo-
CLANS among whom the new methods OF
Biblical criticism have gained greater cur
rency than those represented at this council.
Long before the fallibility Of the Scriptures
was taught publicly by DR.. BRIGGS, and before
he had announced his theory Of progressive
sanctitcatlon" after death, similar doctrines
were inculcated by professors OF the Congre-
gational Theological Seminary at Andover.
and their influence was frequently mani
tested when candidates for the ministry
came before ordination councils. II there
Is any theological school at which the
new German Biblical critics are more thor
oughly intrenched than at Andover, 1t Is not
found In this country.
If DR.. BRIGGS were driven out Of his pres
ent place. Andover would be "a congenial and
a sympathetic home for him. Among the
members OF the London Council are several
Congregational ministers from the United
States who are known to be thoroughly Inn
bued with his views. Tho stoutest defender
OF DR.. BRIaas's opinions In the Presbyterian
Church Is the Rev. DR.. PARKHURST OF this
city, and no passed over to Presbyterianism
from the ranks Of the Congregaionalists.
The Andorer ReuieW, representing the teach
ings OF the Massachusetts seminary, is dis
tinguished for its rationalistio interpreter
ton and analysis OF the Scriptures. Con-
gregational ministers In good standing do
not hesitate to denounce the doctrine Of the
damnation OF the heather as monstrous and
satanic, and not few OF them receive with
satisfaction the theory OF second proba-
tion after DEATH Tho most brilliant of the
young men Offering themselves as candidates
for appointment by the Missionary Board
are affected by the same views.
Thus. however tho London Council may
have applauded the Chicago speakers de-
fence of what DIR. BRIGGS calls Bibliolatry,
the sentiment OF many of the ablest OF the
Congregational ministry in this country
is on the other side. They are also and al
most invariably ministers distinguished for
their popularity with the laity. They occu-
by some OF the most prominent and infiuen-
tial pulpits in the denomination. and they
are secure against attacks on them as
heretics. The more heretical they are the
greater seems to be their popularity So far
| as their views of Biblical inspiration are
| concerned, there is very little difference be-
| tween them and tie llnitarians. The diff
| ference is rather in the manner of teach
! ing. the forms Of expression. than In the

The Camera Must Go With the Ticket.

Some years ago the Dlrector-General was
the great man OF Worlds Fair. but con-
sidering an extraordinary line Of special
artistic development since that time, the
most important functonary now must be
acknowledged to be the official photographer.
The boss Of this department for Chicago will
be Mr.. CAMERA DRYPLATE ARNOLD. MIR.
ARNoLDs special work will be to take the
buildings as they arc built. Who shall
officially photograph the Fair at its height
for the purchases of the general public Is for
later selection.
Another and much more important Ques-
ton relates to the general right Of photog-
raphy when Chicago shall open the show
gates The number Of cameras Of the anna
teur automatic persuasion Is increasing In
far greater ratio than the population. The
adaptation OF larger and more satisfactory
sizes to the portable button-pressing forms.
has progressed OF late 30 successfully that
the next few years may expect an enlarge
ment OF the camera.carrying class, such as
the already marvellous extension Of the
Photographic fancy could scarcely suggest.
The spirit OF enterprise that animates the
use OF the camera Is so vigorous, and the
number OF its devotees will be so great by
1898, that not only will thousands OF photog-
raphers DO among the visitors OF the Chi
cago Fair, but thousands will visit the Fair
for the simple reason that they are photog-
raphers, and know that they will find in
such an aggregation Of men and things a
memorable opportunity for the creation Of
interesting negatives.
We dissent. therefore. from the PROPOSE
ton Of our esteemed contemporary. the
Photographic Times, that In Chicago. as In
Paris. the privilege Of photography should
be sold to applicants at sums fixed for ANA
teurs and professionals. This branch OF the
artistic public Is 80 large and its work so
desirable that subsection to such discrimina-
ton from tho rest Of the population becomes
an injustice. What more magnificent mon
ument could be erected to the memory OF
COLUMBUS than the recognition Of the
right OF free photography 1t is an indis-
pensable feature OF the scientifically pro-
gressive society that enjoys the other time
honored blessings Of tho United States.
At the great Columbian event tax on
| cameras is not to be thought OF. Let US all
take views, II we desire, upon no other con-
dition than the legal entrance into the
grounds by the customary surrender OF q
| ticket.

The report OF Adjutant General
Kenney has been prepared and Will be
submitted to the egislature. The fol-
lowing Is a summary OF 1t.
The strength Of the national guard,
as per the returns Just made, Is $50
officers and enlisted men, organized
into one regiment OF infantry, eight
companies), and one squadron of
cavalry, (two troops). sin Of optn-
ION, and would most respectfully
recommend TINT the present organizl-
tion Of the infantry should be changed
by aboIlshing the existing regimental
formation, and instead formation Of
two battalions OF four companies each
be made. This could be done, so that
Companies A, @, ard II, OF Whining
ton and New Castle, would form the
First Battalion, and the Kent and sus-
sex companies, B, d, L and g, would
constitute the Second Battalion, each
OF which TO be commanded by a
lieutenant-colonel. Then going a step
further and forming the two battalions
and the squadron into brigade would
make the most perfect organization
that could be had.
The law limiting the strength of the
guard to ten Q0) companies should be
changed, and the limit made In the
number OF men, say not to exceed ], ,0oO
men.
The encampments Of 1889 and 1890
were held at Brandywine Springs, q
few miles west OF Wilmington, and
were each a success as a practical
school and training Of the troops.
The total expense Of the encampment
OF 1889 was 80 950.27, and that OF 1870.

ennampments, one over the, other, if

amount of necessary camp and garrl-
son equipage purchased in each year,
and which are assets In hand, and
should be treated as q credit on the
total encampnent expenses.
i The records OF the soldiers OF Della,
ware In tho Revolutionary VIZ, the
/ war OF 1879, and the Mexican war, are
at present unclassified and stored In
an old wooden case in the office oi
Secretary of State, where they are
destined, in the end, to become lost o.
destroyed. These are valuable as 3
matter of State history, and some
steps should be taken to preserve them
or their contente.
The salary Of the adjutant general u

enough to pay bis necessary expenses.
The fact is, the work that now has II
be done by this officer Is worth q SALARY
OF at least 1880 per year.
1t is most gratifying to be able II
