The British authorities and mer-
chants continue to mourn over the loss
of the lnman steamers. The paper

1t is demonstrated 10y the completed
census lists of the six New England
States, the only portion of the United
States where the number of aliens is
yet figured out, that a little more than
ohe-half of all the adult males of for
eign birth are not naturalized Ameri-
can citizens. Judging from the ratio
established in New England there
must he fully 100000 adults of foreign
birth in the United States who have
failed to take advantage of the natur-
alization laws. This fact is important
both as political and sociological
factor in the growth of population.

A Southern View of IL.

The white race never was ruled BY
any other one, therefore it never will
be, writes in effect Mr.. Thomas Nelson
Page in The North American Review.
Mr.. Page, the author of "Marse Chan, A."
here sets his mind seriously to the dis
cussion of the negro question. His view
is substantially that of all southerners.
He agrees with Professor Bryce that the
question of what to do with the negro IN
the south is the most serious problem
confronting the United States.
But Mr., Page does not believe the
black man is capable of receiving the
white mans civilization. Here he may
be right, for no two races ever did de-
velop precisely the same civilization.
The negro has certainly had a fair
chance in New England, we are told,
yet what are the blacks doing there af-
ter all these years of education and pub
lie sympathy They are BARRIERS, shoe
blacks, whitewashers and chimney
sweeps, but never a merchant or a
banker.
In countries Of their own, where they
have had every chance and encourage
ment for reaching the highest results of
modern development, they have stood
still or gone backward, says Mr.. Page
In Liberia they seem to be lapsing into
the condition of the barbarians around
them. In beautiful Santo Domingo. the
Black Republic, yoodoo worship is
springing up and ''negresses are cooking
their bananas amid the ruins of the best
houses of the capital" Mr.. Page thinks
that in this country, in cities and neigh
borhoods where the negroes are in con-
slant contact with the whites, they are
improving; but where they are left to
themselves, among only people of their
own color, they do not advance peg.
Mr. Page believes in educating the
negro, but he would not let him vote
till he is educated. As to the future of
the negro i'll America, Mr.. Page says he
will disappear. He will in time be
crowded ont by the white man. Some
of the blacks will go to Africa, part to
Mexico and South America The con-
ditions of life will become harder and /
the struggle for existence fiercer, and
those that are left will simply give up
and disappear, "a portion by absorption
into the stronger race, the residue by |
perishing under conditions of life un-
suited to them"

Chemistry and the Farmer.

Every discovery of great practical
benefit TO the manufacturing arts and to
agriculture has been given to practical
men by abstract scientific investigation.
a marked case is that of the application
Of phosphate fertilizers. Science found
by investigation that pure phosphoric
acid was constituent without which no
plant could live and thrive. Moreover,
nineteen pounds of phosphoric acid are
taken from the soil for every acre of
wheat that is grown. This, too, science
discovered. 1t was then merely a ques-
ton of time when all soils that gave ND
their fertility thus readily would be ex-
hausted, unless some means of putting
back the phosphoric acid could be de-
vised.
Here again science came to the aid of
the practical man. 1t found that
immense beds of phosphates existed in
various parts of the world. It inyesti-
gated and found means to separate the
phosphoric acid from the minerals and
foreign substances that held it, and
force it to go into service for the farmer
This is the greatest boon as well as boom
to agriculture in many year
The phosphoric acid largely comes
from decomposing bone, animal sub
stance and shells. Sometimes the bones
are those of fossil animals that lived be-
fore the dawn of history. This kind of
phosphate is found in Canada. In Flor
ida are immense mines of fossil guano.
Untold millions of tiny sheilfish, too.
lived and died cons ago in what is now
Florida to give fertility to the soil of the
American farmer, and science found
them for him. In South Carolina the
remains of fish mostly are the sources of
the phosphates. Other deposits are
found in North Carolina, Virginia and
Georgia, but from South Carolina and
Florida comes the largest supply. Here
in our own favored country we have
beds which will supply our needs for
generations to come, though the need
already reaches millions Of tons a year.

THE BRIGGS "RERESY" CASE

From the proceedings thus far in the
Briggs case in the Presbyterian general
assembly, it is very evident that the
friends of the distinguished theologian,
who is charged with being too liberal
for his church, are greatly outnum-
bered by those who humbly bow to the
iron creed of Calvin, who was largely
instrumental in 1858 in securing the
conviction of Servetus for "heresy and
blasphemy" by the despotie court of
Geneva, which arbitrarily revived a
long extinct law in order to legally
burn the great polemic at the stake.
While 1t is not for a moment assumed
that the opponents of DIR. Briggs have
any desire to roast him as Servetus was
roasted, it is evident that they are OPP
posed to any notifications of their
creed which would admit the truth of
his teachings, and that they are deter
mined, if possible, to close the doors of
the church upon him. The principal
allegations in the charges against him
are based upon alleged errors promul-
gated by him in an address before the
students of Union Theological Semi
nary about year and a half ago, and
for which he was arraigned before the
presbytery of New York. The presby-
terry dismissed the case without either
affirming or denying the truth of his
teachings. The matter has never been
heard before the synod of the state, and
DIR. Briggs and his friends are pro-
nounced in their denial of the right of
the general assembly to usurp the pow
ers of the synod by proceeding to the
trial Of the case on direct appeal from
the presbytery. On this point they
have been beaten, the assembly having
decided, by large majority, to enter
tain the appeal.
The teachings of DR.. Briggs to which
SO many of his brethren are opposed
are, in substance, as follows:
First-His declaration that "there |
are historically three great fountains of
divine authority-the Bible, the church !
and the reason"-thus making the |
church and the reason each to be an in |
dependent and sufficient fountain of
divine authority.
Second-His affirmation that, in the
case of some, the Holy Scriptures are
