70 compensate for the loss OF revenue by
the removal of duties on wool and tinplates.
If Mr. Springer is not sufficiently radical and
ultra for the Reform Club, what shall be
thought Of the men who enjoy its entire conf
dence? Would they put the duties low enough
10 bring in four OF five or six times as many
pounds or yards Of woolen goods as are now
imported? Is it Speaker Crisp's crime that his
chosen leader of the House does not propose
TO destroy American industries fast enough
The real motive of the Reform Clubs rude
ness appears TO be nothing but spite. Mr..
Crisn was one of those who did not believe the
welfare of the world depended upon Mr., Cleve-
land. Of course he was greatly in error: the
Democratic party must have fallen into IN
nocuous desuetude and perhaps some wander
ing comet would have eXtingulShcd human Ire
on this planet if the idol of Free Traders had
been translated before the election. But be-
cause he is such an odiOus hereto as not to
worship Mr. Cleveland the Democratic Speaker
Of the House has been subjected to indlgnity. 1t
is painful to see these malevOent passions
rising in the bosoms of men who have publicly
consecrated themselves with Mr.. Cleveland to
the service of their country.
III Is SAD 10 see, tOO, bndb tnc h'ioIh Ni"'
resents the mention of Mr. Tilden as the Simon
Pure and only original author of tariff reform.
No one can deny the fact that Mr.. Tilden was
for many years the great champion of tariff
for revenue only, and the power behind the
American Free Trade League. But it has come
60 be regarded in some quarters as species
Of profanity TO sugge,t that any other man ever
thought the thoughts or uttered the words OF
Mr. Cleveland and the worshippels who mover
saw any virtue in Mr.. Tilden, but who regard
the President-elect as the sum total OF all
human wisdom, are petulant and discoultcous
when they are told that the Democratic doc
trne which triumphcd in 1892 was that of
the platform which Mr. Tildcn dictated in 1876.
Speaker Crisp and his friends are likely to
have other occasions for indignation within
the next four years. Mr.. Cleveland will 90
into Office with an extremely healthy and vigor-
Gus memory. The Democrats who regarded him
as a humbug, as a Professor Of Cant and As a
man who could not possibly be elected, will be
reminded from time 10 time that he bestowed
upon the Democratic party its principles and
convictions, and with his mighty outstretched
arm lifted it out of the mire Of defeat.
Whether he and Mr.. Crisp agree about the
methods and extent Of tariff reform no man
can tell. because Mr.. Cleveland has taken pains
not to be explicit on that subject. Nobody can
know how far he will 60 or how fast. But it
was Mr. Crisp's objectionable sin not to dis
cover under all DISCUSSES, tho one and only
true prophet of Reform, and for that sin he Is
insuted

IN revising her Confession, and when this very

Scrptnres when it sits on the bench as Judge
and dictates terms of ministerial standing then
4; is time TO test it by the facts and declarations
of Scripture"
The small majority against him shows that
this view of the case had considerable weleht
with the Presbytery, and will encourage the
friends of Professor Briggs to hope that the
prcSbvtery of New-York, in which the liberals
arc much stronger than in the Cincinnati Pres
hvtory NAV acquit him. The two cases, m
deed. are very similar. Both the accused men
are eminent scholars. and deyout believers IN
tbe Creed of their Church. Both affirm their
belief in the Scriptures as the Word OF Ood'
and the infalble rule Of faith and practice.
But both declare that a careful study OF the
Bible shows that It's human authors were not
proydentialIy and miraculously preserved from
all error in their variations. And for taking
this ground both have been arralgned by inc
conservatives of the Church 1t may be added
that both men have behind them on this ques-
ton the great majority Of modern Biblical
scholars, and that every year the traditional
view of tho Bible which they reject, is be-
coming more incredible to those who study 1t
in the light of modern scholarship. The schol-
ars may be wrong but whether right or wrong
they arc against the traditionalsts in the
Church.
OF course. the Smith case is not ended. 1t
will be appealed to tho Synod, and then to the
General Assembly. If the Briggs trial should
end in an acquittal, there will also be an APP
neal. in which case the General Assembly
might be called upon at tho same time to re-
verse two diverse decisions Of two lower courts
on the Same question. All OF which indicates
that the prospects Of peace in the Presbyterian
Church for long time to como are slight.

sPEAKER CRISP'S UNPARDONABLE SIN

SIEHh I'm tHiDI - b-'f 1HDH-'ib nm ''-''
Speaker Crisp is offended and his friends are
angry. With some reluctance he attended the
banquet Of the Reform Club upon invitation and
took it for granted that, as he he'd the highest
Office in the country now occupied by Demo
crat, he must be requested to speak. The sup
position would have been a reasonable one, if
the Reform Club had not been what it is, and if
Speaker Crisp had not been what he is. His
prepared speech was given to the Associated
Press, but he was not asked to make any re-
marks whatever, which he regarded as dis
courtesy on the part of its club and its mana
gers. His friends declare that he will gain many
votes as candidate for Speaker by reason of
this treatment, which seems to be both prob
able and natural.
The opponents of Mr.. Crisp assert that he has
not been sincere in hostility to Protection, and
that he organized the House with intent to pre-
vent any effective assault upon the protective
system. The speech which he prepared but was
not permitted to deliver, indicates that this is
not the facts. At all events he selected as Chair
man of the Committee OF Ways and Means Mr.
Springer, Of Illinois, who is so much of a radical
tariff reformer that he publicly proposes to bring
in imports of 500, 900 900 worth of w0Oen
goods in a year. about three times the quantity
now imported, and argues that the duties at
ONLY 30 pcr cent would then be large enough

POSTPONEMENr DEMANDED.

The Board of Supervisors of Onondaga Coun-
" recently took step which we heartily APP
prove and which 'rc trust VIII be initiated by
the Boards OF Supervisors in other counties OF
the State. This step consists in tho adoption
Of resolutions favoring the postponcmcnt of
the Constitutional Convention, which is 70 be
held in Nav according 10 the law Is II now
stands until date which will enable the dele
gates thereto to be elected on the day Of The
next general election, in November. 1898. Tho
clerk Of the Board was instructed o. com
municate this action 10 the other Boards OF
Supervisors, and 10 request their cooperation
in securing a pOstponcment of the convention.
The action of the Onondagl Board was both
sensible and Straightforward, and it is 10 be
hoped that the movement thus started will
be taken up all over the state, and the de-
stability Of postponemcnt urged upon the
Legislature with such unanimity and force aS
20 make radical changes in the law passed last
winter inevitable. Already five or six other
Boards Of Supervisors have taken similar
action.
That important changes are absolutely neccs-
sary Is evident 10 any one who gives caIciul
attention 70 the matter. The law must be
amended by doing away with that part Of il
which provides for the appointment of certain
delegates by the Governor IS TIE TRIBUNE
has air ady pointed ont. any such appointment
would be unconstitutional the Prohibition and
Labor parties can be represented in the Con-
stitutional Convention only by elected dele
gates Furthermore, it is obvious that the pro-
posed special election in February will be both
costly and useless. In this city alone the cX-
pense is estimated at S30Q0OO; for the state
at largo a conservative estimate places the cost
at nearly S700.00O. What need is there for
this big outlay? Not the slightest in the
world There were, il may readily be granted,
good reasons for not choosing delegates 10 this
convention at the Presidential election this
year. In the excitement attending the great
ouadrcnua contest, the importance of the Con-
.titutional Convention would have been 20 "A
large extent overlooked. But At the next gen
cral election there will be no such reasons in
force And at that time the delegates to such
a convention can be elected with practically
no cost TO the State.
All the arguments arc in favor Of amending
the law so as to put off the convention. The
subject will demand early attention from the
Legislature next month The Boards Of Super
visOrs which have already expressed their Opn-
ion have done well to 90 on record at this
early day in favor of postponing the conven-
ton and preventing the abSuIdity OF "A general
election at great expense in February.

PROFESSOR SMITHS CONVICTION.

Professor Henry Preserved Smith, Of Lane
Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, has been
convicted by the Cincinnati Prcsbytery of
hcrcsy in asserting that there are errors in the
Bible, but by "A much smaller majority than was
expected, in view of the fact that the Cincin-
natl prcsbytery has the reputation Of being
exceedingly conservative. ProfcS sor Smiths
alleged hcrcsics were contained in pamphlet
recently published by him, entitled Biblical
Scholarship and Inspiration.o In this pam
phlet he denied that the Holy Spirit so con-
trollcd the inspired writers as to make their
utteranccS absolutely truthful that is, free from
error when interpreted in their natural and
intended sense And he adduccd as proof of
his assertion, certain discrepancies in the his
torical books Of the Old Testament. In meet
ing the charge that this view of the Bible i
contrary to the Standards Of the Church, Pro-
fcssor Smith cOntcndcd that the doctrine of
inerrancy, now so widely held by Protestants,
is modern invention, found neither in the
Bible nor in the Confession, an accrctOn which
has grown on the earlier and tucr teaching
concerning the Bible once held by the Church
and a dogmatc refinement Of the declarations
Of the Confession "The Committee of Prose
cution." he declared in his answer TO the
charges, proposes to set up an unscrptural
and xtra-confcsSional test of doctrine. They
tell the student of the Bible that his results
are in conflict with a theory OF inspiration con-
tanned in the Confession, if there at all, only
by precarous inference and for which they
have been able to bring not even a single text

The fur men who undertook to rob a Chesa
NJ AXE and Ohio train near Huntington, w. Va,
IN Monday night were extremely bold. Hunt
inpton is a populous CITY, but not far away
from il is tho wooded region made famous by
the Ha:fields and McCoys, and it was from this
reoion doubtless that the robbers came. They
met with a warm reception, and were driven
off without securing any booty One pasSen-
ger, unfortunately, was MORALLY wounded IN
the scuiile with them. No effort should be
srared TO secure their capture and punishment.
u Considering the foulness or the weather yes
terdav afternoon and evening, there was
satisfactorily large vote at the Republican
primary elections in this city There were
contests in several of the districts, but all were
good -natured in one district as many as three
tickets were in the field. 1t is evident from
the list of delegates printed on another page
that the County Committee next year will con
tain large number OF Republicans OF weight
and influence. IL is an encouraging TACT that
in \ number of the districts new leaders have
come to the front, showing that Republicansm
;s alert and aggressive in spite Of gerrymanders
that have intienched the Tammany Democracy
so firmly.

The Maynard question is before the bar
Association once more, Maynard's term as
Judge of the Court of Appeals expiring at the
end Of this month. At last nights meeting
resolutions were introduced setting forth his
un6tness for that Office and calling upon Gov
ernor Flower TO appoint some one else 10 ,he
vacancy that will be created when Judge An
drews becomes Chief Judge There can be
little doubt that these resolutions will be adopt
ed by a vote as overwhelming as that by whch
Maynards impeachment was demanded III

heed this request, he certainly cannot plead that
he was ignorant of the popular sentiment re-
garding this most unfit candidate for high

The phy sicans who make it are among the lore
