their mill, the manufacturing of tin

TOO MUCH PREACHING.
why the Rev. MIR. Proudfit Wanted To
Leave the Presbytery.

NEW YORK, November 15.-At a meet
yesterday, somewhat remarkable
communication was received. 1t was
the request Of the Rev. r. r. Proudtit to
have his name removed from the roll of
membership Of the New York Presbyte-
ry. Mr. Proudfit has not been an active
pastor for some years, and is at present
at Highlands, n. j. His letter, sent to
the Rev. Dr.. Alexander, stated as his
reasons for desiring to sever his connec-
ton with the Presbytery that, while
humbly receiving the scriptures OF the
Old and New Testaments as containing
the word of Christ, decline to submit
to a merely human declaration of their
contents, even though the declaration be
so able and so venerable as the West
minister standard. l further decline to
be called reverend as being too much
like being called rabbi against which
our Lord expressly enjoined His disci-
pies.
'Again, I decidedly prefer not to be
identified with any particular denomina-
ton of the followers of Christ, such
names and the spirit which they engen-
der seeming to me unscriptural and
baneful rather than beneficial. Finally
| suspect that the world and the visible
church are somewhat surfeited with
preaching, at least of the prevailing
type. Like the Army of the Potomac in
1862, the church has been abundantly
and perhaps excessively organized and
drilled.''
No formal notice was taken of the
Rev. Mr., Proudft's request, but he will
be permitted to withdraw and his name
removed from the roll.

Especial to the Associated Press

CINCINNATI, O., November 15.-The
trial of Professor Henry Preserved
Smith, of the Lane Theological Semina-
ry, for alleging that the Old Testament
contains errors of historic fact and that
the inspired author of Chronicles and
other inspired writer's of the Old Testa-
ment were guilty of suppressing sundry
historic truths, was resumed in the First
Presbyterian church before the Presby-
terry of Cincinnati this morning. The
reading of the minutes OF yesterdays
proceedings led to a long and sharp dis
cussion this morning. The temporary
clerk, Rev. DR.. Francis. read from the
minutes that Professor Smiths objec-
tions to certain ministers sitting In the
case were overruled by au almost unani-
nous vote. Rev. DR.. Maxwells said the
clerk sat in Judgment 40 times on the
case in his minutes, and had no right to
record the vote of yesterday as almost
unanimous.
Professor Smith began reading his de-
fence to the second charge which con-
tanned the gravest of the charges against
him; namely, that he taught that the in
spired author of Chronicles was guilty
Of asserting errors of historical fact, and
suppressing sundry historic truths. He
had not completed his defence when DR..
Roberts raised point of order that it
was not proper for Professor Smith to
incorporate in his argument citations
from his pamphlet made by the commit
tee on the prosecution in its report
After a recess, Dr.. Smith continued his
argument.

Two years ago, Mr.. Depew said, he de-
livered speech at the Astor house upon
'sThe Typical American Laughter.
That speech was used at the Chicago
convention successfully. 1t also was
used, he regretted to say, very success
fully ever since. The American people
had pronounced Mr.. Cleveland their
choice in figures that were disastrous to
the Republican party. He believed that
as the Democratic party had had thirty
years in which to study the political
history of the country, they should be
ready to present their programme at the
first opportunity.

ceedings closed.

RAILROAD OWNERSHIP.

1.-THE unwisdom of the demand for
government ownership of railways
which has been made in the plat
forms of various farmers and PEG
PIES political parties of late must ap-
pear to those who investigate the subject
with any thoroughness. Some of the
difficulties in the way of this chimerical
scheme were suggested in q recent ad-
dress by Speaker Crisp Of the national
house before an audience of Georgia
democrats, in which he said:
elm the third platform the railroad
plank providing the government owner
ship OF railroads is absurd. It would
cost the government nine billion dollars
to buy them. Where is that money to
come from? There is not enough money
in the country. It is more than the
money of all nations. But suppose that
we had them. It would take 1,5OO, 900
people to operate them. We have now
loo, 900 Office holders, and 100 of them
were in the convention which nominated
Harrison. If we had q million and a
half of federal holders, when
would the people nominate anybody

THE WOLFSHOWS HIS FANGS.

The wolf cannot conceal himself in
the sheep-skin that he has been wear.
ing as disguise. His natural procllvi-
ties are too strong to be suppressed. Mr..
Dana, the editor of the N. Y. Sun, has
decided that the alleged force bill is to
be the issue of the campaign. He has said
this 90 often that he really gives evidence
of believing it himself He claims that
the republicans intend to pass a bill
giving United States officials unusual
powers at elections, which he fears will
damage the Cleveland party. He real
ICES the fact that his party must lose if
we have honestly conducted elections.
He is sure that the republican party in
intends to pass what he calls force
bill, because that party defeated the
force bill in the Fifty-6rst Congress.
He goes to all this trouble to keep Jack
sonian democrats from boiling the
Cleveland ticket because it contains q
free trade plank. He knows that free
trade will defeat his party, and he has
fairly dragooned the leaders into an
of the John G. Calhoun
issue.

THE FINAL RESULT.

The English press was never more
outspoken in favor of democratic su.
preracy in the United States than at
the present time. The following, from
the Liverpool Echo of September 16,
1892, is worthy the careful attention. Of
all men who intend to vote for their
own interests next month:
"Undoubtedly filling in the success
at the presidential polling, of Mr.. Cleve-
land, who has pledged his party to a
revenue tariff, the future of British
manufactures and of ali the subsidiary
industries depending upon them is dark
indeed. No doubt the old country will
pull through somehow. as she has done
before, but it is to be feared that if the
Mckinley tariff is to be indefinitely
maintained it will be at cost in suffer-
ing and poverty which is at present i'm.
possible to estimate, and it may further
involve q permanent lowering of tho
greatly improved standard Of comfort
which has been attained by the working
classes of this country during the pres
emit century"

STOCK AND FARM.

Fredonia Citizen: Native grasshop-
pers homegrown crop) are working
on the wheat that is up. A good frost
would put quietus on most of them.
VIII Leniton, of Chautauqua county,
will corn-feed forty head of 2 year Odds,
and rough feed the younger stock,
though he is paying 30 cents for corn.
A few instances are again reported
this year of death of cattle from eating
second growth of sorgum. It kills in q
few minutes, and is as dangerous before
frost as after 1t.
Downs Times: It rained, it poured,
it came down in carload lots, and there
was great rejoicing by the multitude.
It was just such rain as has been
needed for several weeks. Right now
there are, in northwest Kansas, larger
number of happy and contented people
than can be found in any other section
of the country in the whole universe.
The farmers can now finish putting in
wheat and that which was sown will
come up and grow finely. Confidence
has advanced seven hundred per cent
and still going up. Great is Kansas,
and still greater its possibilities.
Bronson Pilot: There seems to exist
an anomaly between the prices realized
at public sales for horses and what is
paid by horse buyers for good sound
and fat horses; the latter have brought
good fair prices while those sold at pub
lie sales-and undoubtedly many are
good marketable horses-have brought
desultory prices. The general markets
are not overloaded with that class of
stock, and if we may be permitted to re-
fer to S. o. Markham, who has just re-
turned from Chicago, we venture to say
that horses are now as high as
they have been for many years. A
good pair of draft horses will bring there
$500 and many a neat, trim, we'll built
horse that would not bring here if
auctioned off more than $40 or $50 will
sell all the way from 1928 to $50.
Why can't farmers who have a surplus
of horses pool together, make up car
load of horses and ship it themselves?
They can do it as we'll as when shipping
cattle or hogs and would be the gamers
in the end.

EVILS OF STATE BANKS.

An Issue Which the Democrats
Have Forced in the Campaign.
The attempt of democrats to bring
about return to the old banking sys-
tenn has called forth many experiences.
The following communication to the
New York Press by Texan can be ap-
preciated by every man now over As
years of age:
1--WE old folks have been very bitter
towards the democrats for the ruin
wrought by their blunders in financial
Legislation, from the day Andrew Jack
son vetoed the bill creating the third
national bank to the time they we're
driven from power in 1861. And now
they wish to return to the same evils.
"In 1859 I was in Memphis, Tenn,
and about to 60 north. I ascertained
the fact that the exchange between our
best Tennessee banks and New York
was three fourths of one cent on the
dollar. So I went to the principal bank
in Memphis to get my money changed
for New England currency, but could
not get dollar, so I took bills on that
bank in lieu thereof.
81 went to the steamboat, paid my
fare to Cairo. ILL.,, and got of just at
dinner time. / went to hotel where
had been before, and told the clerk that
I wanted dinner. We'll. step right into
the dining room, for they are dining.
In I went, and after dinner came out
and rendered $10-biIl in payment. To
my establishment the clerk said: why,
there is Q discount on Tennessee money
here How much? Fifteen per cent,
he replied. WELL I said, I have moth
ing with me but Tennessee money So,
as I had to pay IS cents for my dinner,
that and the discount cost me $2.25.
mo matter how current Tennessee
money was all over the state, Just SO
soon AZ you stepped over the imaginary
lines bounding and adjoining states it
was subject to discount.
"In those days the man who did not
carry q Thompson's bank-note detector
to tell him the discount on the different
banks throughout the United States.
and also the various counterfeits-
they were legion-was one who had oc-
casion to handle but little money.
at was to me curious fact that in
Memphis there was not only no discount
in Memphis on any bank bill hailing
from Now England, but q premium OF
per cent. On several occasions l paid
that amount OF premium to get New
England money to send to Maine ana
New Hampshire.
