The War on DR.. Briggs.

It looks very much as If Prof. Briggs of
the Union Theological Seminary of New
York. the alleged hereto. would be sub
jected to kind OF attack from his enemies
In the Presbyterian church not often re-
sorted to in the religious world. It is pro.
posed, it is said, to boycott the seminary
with the view of soaring the trustees by
driving away the students of the institu-
ton, and thus forcing them to dismiss the
obnoxious professor
The professors enemies were not success
full in getting him tried on the charge Of
heresy by the general assembly OF the Pres
byterian church, which recently met in
Portland, Ore, but they did succeed in GET
ting that body to pass resolutions which
they interpret as a boycott OF the Union
Theological Seminary, and it is understood
that they intend to use the resolutions to
the disadvantage OF the seminary.
1t seems remarkable that ministers who
condemn the boycott when 1t is used by
labor organizations should themselves make
1t the means to accomplish their purp 1ses
The boycott is not in harmony with the
spirit which prevails 10 this enlightened PEI
Rod of the world, and those who make use

might he kept away from it, but the atten-
ton OF others would be directed to it, and
the probabilities are that it would soon be-

The trustees of the seminary uphold Prof.
Briggs, and doubtless would continue
to do so even if the iusti-
tuition should be boycotted, because
they ara convinced that t he professor is not

Hiding Their Real Sentiments.

Very few of the republican papers ex-
pected that Mr.. Cleveland would be nomi-
mated. His own state being against him,
and about all the practical politicians Of
his party being opposed to him, together
with the fact that he was beaten in 1888,
were TO them satisfactory reasons that his
party would not honor him with a third
nomination. But now that he is the nominee
they pretend that the nomination of no
other man would have been 30 satisfactory
to them.
The truth Is they do not express their real
| sentiments The nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land has alarmed them. They see that 1t
will be extremely difficult, II not impossi-
BILE, to elect Gen. Harrison. They are,
therefore. giving reasons, which they know
are not the true Ones for Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination, hoping in that way to rob him
of some Of his popularity.
The New York Advertiser. for instance,
says : There was no man of sufficient
strength, character or brains in the Demo-
cratic party to contest with him, and so the
party has chosen where it really had no
choice.n Nothing could be further from the
truth than this. There are ADLER men in the
Democratic party than Mr.. Cleveland, but
there is no one OF them who commands so
fully the confidence Of the people.
There were half q dozen other men
voted for IN the nominating oon-
vention any one of whom is the
intellectual equal of either Gen. Harrison
or Mr.. Cleveland, but no one Of them has
the qualities which have given Mr.. Cleve.
land a third nomination. II Is all nonsense,
therefore, to say that the convention had
no choice, unless 1t is meant that the oonven-
ton simply oDeyed the voice of the people.
Mr.. Cleveland Is the choice Of very nearly
the whole Of the Democratic party. If he
were not he could not have been nominated
In the face of the protest OF the delegation
from his own state.
The rank and file Of the Democratic party
recognize the fact that they are responsible
for Mr.. Cleveland's nomination and they
are going to be more active in this campaign
than they have been ia any previous one.
They are not going to depend upon the
politicians to elect him. There will be
more enthusiasm for him throughout the
whole country than there has been for a
presidential candidate In many years

Savannah Should Protest.

Savannah should protest against the re-
fusal Of the postofflce department to make
the South Bound railroad a mail route.
Her council and her trade bodies should
make their infiusnce felt in the matter.
The South Bound runs through a thickly
settled country with which the merchants
of Savannah have close business relations.
1t is impossible, however, TO reach any
portion of that country quickly through
the mails, because no mail is carried
on the South Bound. The people
along the South Bound feel
very much eggrieved because the letters they
send or receive are greatly delayed by hav-
ing to reach their destination by a round
about route. People who live within
comparatively short distance of Savannah
and Columbia do not get their newspapers
until the day after publication. When the
South Bound was projected they thought
they would soon have better mail facilities,
but thus far they have been greatly disap-
pointed in that respect.
The action of the postofice depsr tment in
refusing to make the South Bound a mail
line is something that is not easily under
stood. There must be some hidden reason
for refusing to give SO large a section of
country the benefit of quick mails
And the South Bound is a much shorter
route from Savannah to many points in
| South Carolina, North Carolina and Ten
nes'ee than any other. For instance. il
there were mail service on the South Bound
letter mailed in thiI city to. Ashes
vile, n. C., in the morning would
reach its destination In the evening of that
day, while by the present mail service it
does not get there until late or the following
day. The present mail service, therefore,
when it is possible to improve it so greatly,
is simply an outrage upon the people who
are interested in having the service i'm
proved.
The city authorities, the cotton exchange
and the board OF trade should interest them
selves in this matter at once. 1t is of great
Importance to this city that there should be
a mail service on the South Bound,

An Extravagant Administration.

/ An C4 u VOL INV obAOhs
The administration of President Harri-
son is an extravagsnt one. That 1t is will
be shown beyond all doubt during the
presidential campaign. When Mr.. Cleve-
| land went out of office there was very
large surplus in the treasury, and the reve-
nues of the government exceeded its ex-
penses by about S60 900, 900 year. 1t was
| upon this excess IN the revenues that Mr..
| Cleveland based his celebrated tariff mes
sage.
When the Harrison administration came
into power, supported as it was by ma
iority in both branches of congress, the re-
publican leaders declared that they did not
want any reduction in the revenues, and
that they would soon get rid Of the surplus.
They quickly cleaned out the treasury. and
then they passed the Mckinley bill increas-
ing the tariff taxes.
During the first two years of the Harri-
son administration the appropriations
amounted to billion dollars, and the CON-
gress that made these appropriations is
known as the billion dollar congress.
But It is said that the appropriations Of
the present congress, notwithstanding the
fact that the House is democratic, will very
nearly reach a billion dollars, if those of
the second session should be as large as those
of the session that is now drawing to Close
The amount Of the appropriations Of this
congress will be very large, but the demo-
cratic House cannot be charged with
extravaganza. The last congress, being de-
termined to get rid OF the surplus revenue,
greatly increased the fixed charges Of the
government. IL enacted laws which take
millions Of dollars annually out of she
treasury, and these laws cannot be repealed
or amended as long as there is a republican
Senate and a republican President
One law il enacted was the dependent
pension law, which has already increased
the pension burden many millions OF dollars
a year. The appropriation for pensions for
the next fiscal year is S34 ,000, 900 more than
that for the present fiscal year. 1t can be
seen very readily, therefore, that il the
democratic House does no more than TO ap~
proprfate an amount sufficient to meet the
actual expenses OF the government the ap-
propriations Of this congress may very
nearly reach a billion Of dollars. 80 greatly
has the Republican party increased the
OApobnco 4nc utLnOCTdblC
House has tried In every possible way to out
down the appropriations, and In cases where
1t has done 90 the Senate he's
refused to follow 10 In the direction Of coon
omy, but has increased the appropriations
To the pension appropriation alone the Sen.
ate has added about s14, 200, 900.
The Democratic party can do very little
toward introducing economy into the ad-
minissFation Of the government as long as
there is a republican majority in the senate
and a republican In the Office of President.
What the people must do IN order to have
the government economically administered
is TO elect q democratic President and a
democratic congress. They will undertake
to do that next fall. and it is sincerely to
be hoped they will be successful.

Made Elkins Nervous.

Only few people have heard the story, says
the Washington Stor. and Secretary Elkins
says he does not know how it has leaked out.
1t Is said to be perfectly true. The Secretary
OF War left Washington for West Virginia
several days ago, and, as he is interested In a
bank out there, he decided to take with him an
assortment OF new bills fresh from the bureau
OF engraving and printing. He purchased
Sl2 800 worth Of the green backed promises to
pay, bad them wrapped up in a bundle, and
took the bundle home.
After while he went to the station and when
ready to board the train missed that small
package. For some time he suffered from a
succession OF chills, which kept up their re-
frlgeratlng influences uncomfortably. He
returned 20 his abode, but failed to find the
bills. The treasury department was visited and
therel the seer etary was assured that he took
the money away with him. Another search at
home. was fruitless, and the secretary was
about to make application to the court for the
appointment OF guardian when q chamber
maid remembered that she had found q small
package on q chair in the secFetary's room,
and to get 1t out Of the way had thrown it on
top OF the wardrobe
Secretary Elkins did not catch the train he
started for, bat that was matter of compare

A Clean Campaign.

There Is very general satisfaction at the
prospect that the presidential campaign
will be free from personalities. There will
be very little, if any. mud throwing, because
there is no excuse for it. Both Mr.. Cleve-
land and Gen. Harrison are men who have
clean records, and in their private lives they
are above reproaeh.
The fact that qualification is expressed at
the prospect Of a clean campaign shows that
the people do not approve Of personalities.
Scandals relating to the private or public
life of a candidate may give satisfaction to
a few, but the great majority of people like
to feel that the men they propose to put in
to the offices of honor and trust are above
reproaeh.
Mr.. Cleveland has been President and
Gen. Harrison is President now. The peo-,
pie, therefore, have had ample opportunity
to find out the kind of men they are. Mr..
Cleveland has impressed himself upon the
country as thoroughly homes. and con-
scientious man, and in his domestic rela-
lions he measures up to the standard Of the
most exacting. No one has ever suggested
that Gen. Harrison's standard of morality
In public life is not high one, nor that his
private life is not above reproach.
The campaign will be fought, therefore,
on the issues between the two great parties.
Much will be said. of course. relative to the
fitness Of each OF the candidates for the
office for President. but the subjects that
will be chiefly discussed in the newspapers
and on the stump are the principles of the
two parties and their policies. 1t is proba-
BILE, therefore, that there will be very little
bitterness ip the campaign. In that event
business will not be seriously interrupted.
