Crockett's race As a politician has
always been a subject OF diversion,
and with Justice How man 50 ig
norant as he, though stuffed with
what is styled horse SENSE" could
ever conduct a canvass, Is thing to
wonder at His first essay of this
kind was when he tried for a seat III
the Tennessee Legislature in 1921. in
Jackson's administration. His quail
fications are best indicated by his own
testimony. Il first Went into Heck

not tell them anything about govern

ignorance, Dayy must have made a
strange congressman, but in that
position, though stanch Jackson

the gallant colonel could not have
been inserted. His "reminiscences are

SATURDAY. NAY %.
An Insult to Our Flag.

The Queens birthday celebration at Mon
treal, Canada, was made the occasion by
body of the Canadian volunteers, wearing
Queen Victoria's uniform, to show their loyalty
by insulting the American flag The annexa'
tion sentiment has been increasing 80 rapidly
of late that the ultra loyalsts are very much
excited and lose no opportunity OF showing
their feeling. After the military parade in
honor of the day body of volunteers in uni
one of the leading thoroughfares OF the city,
when they noticed the Stars and Stripes dis
played on one Of the stores.
The volunteers sent delegation to the store
to demand that tho Stars and Stripes be taken
down. There was only woman in charge, and
the volunteers addressing her. said:
We want that American flag down. This
is the Queens birthday. and We cannot allow
that flag to float on this day"
Mr.. Lorge. the proprietor of the store. here
entered, and the volunteers, who had been re-
inforced by another company, declared that if
the flag was not taken down at once they
would tear it down. Mr.. Lorge protested that
the flag was put up to honor the day.
That's all very WE'LL" retorted the officer
In command, "but We won't have that damned
American flag flying beside the English flag to.
day. We are English, you know. Take it
down or We will tear it down."
Mr.. Lorge. in order to avoid further trouble,
had the flag taken down. Tuesday he made a
complaint to the military headquarters, and
an investigation will be held The volunteers
are believed to be members OF the Montreal
garrison artillery. Mr.. Lorge is an American
and member Of the Grand Army of the Re
public. but has lived there many years. The
action of the volunteers in insulting the flag
of friendly nation is denounced by all except
few ultra loyalsts.

A T1iieyish Gang.

Edwin Crockett, Cour d'Alene, Idaho. says
that he was once placed in similar position to
that described by a comrade headed, "Quelling
Mutiny," published q short time ago. 1t was
on a trip from New York to City Point ON q
city transport on which were large number of
recruits, among whom were number OF bounty
Jumpers and a viler crowd of rascals of every
grade from pick -pocket to cut-throats were
never banded together for plumber. They
went about in body robbing and abusing the
honest recruits seemingly without restraint of
any kind. One man was stabbed and many
robbed Of bounty moncy-much OF their dep
relations being committed In the night but
some by violence in the open day. Some 90 or
80 of the party slept in circle with their feet
outward for mutual protection. Even they
made desperate attempts at robbery, at one
time joining in scuffle near u.s. and throwing
brute of their number on top of some Of the
recruits. hoping. probably, to break the ranks
and make an easy prey of the crowd He
thinks that Capt Daggitt's ship must have had

Repairinp the AID N. Y. Monument.

The monument of the 43d N. Y CTammany
Regimen0 at Gettysburg is undergoing ex-
tensive alterations and repairs. Engineer
Zabriskie, of the New York State Monument
Commission. is experimenting the work. The
monument was dedicated last Fall, and ar
rived only a few days before the exercises.
Some of the stones were defective. but in order
that Tammany might dedicate something more
than a hole in the ground the authorities AL
lowed the bad stones to be used temporarily,
and the monument was put in place. Wednes-
day, May 26, the entire structure was taken
down. All the stones are being cut and two
new granite ones substituted for those con-
demned. The work was completed before the
dedication on June of the high water mark Of
the rebellion tablet, which stands just across
the avenue from the Tammany monument.

PREsBYTERIANsIN SESSION
The General Assembly of the Church at
Portland, Ore,


The Presbyterian Church of the United
States is in session at Portland,s Ore. There
will be two specially important matters to be
decided Mt this General Assenbly-the Briggs
case and the revision of the Confession of
Faith. Thirteen points have bsen agreed upon
by the Revision Committee. They are Divine
DEGREES Preteritiou, the Creation, the Cove
nant the new paper on the Holy Spirit. Mans
Fall, the New Chapter On the Gospel, Predes-
tinstion, Efectual Call, Infant Salvation,
Nom Election, and the Lords Supper.
The section upon which there was the most
discussion is in the third Chapter, and is as
follows, the brackets indicating the omitted
part:
The rest Of mankind God twas pleased) saw IT.
according to the uusearehable counsel of His own
WILL whereby He extendeth withholdeth mercy
as he pleaseth for the glory of His sovereign
power over His creatures to pass by) and to ordain
them to dishonor and wrath for their sin, to the
praise OF His glorious jnstce; yet neither Is any
Limitation put upon the offer Of salvation to all
upon condition of faith in Christ, is restraint
laid upon the freedom of any one to hinder his
ceptance Of this offer. yet hath He pleasure in
tho death Of the wicked nor is 1t His decree but
tho wickedness Of their own hearts which restrain
eth and hindereih them from accepting the free
offer Of His grace made in the Gospel.
The section relating to elect infants is worthy
of mention. By the old Confession the infer
ence was left that some infants went to hell. as
the wording elect infants " implied that there
were "non.elect infants" The new section
clears that mystery, reading as follows:
Infants dying in infancy and all other persons
who not guilty of actual transgre,sion are in
cluded In the election of grace and are regenerated
ard saved by Christ through the Spirit, Who
worke,h when and where and how He pleaseth, so
also the elect persons who are not outwaydly
called by the ministers of the word"
The other essential change is in a section re-
lating to the Roman Catholics in the nnrevised
Confession. In the revision the section reads
as follows:
The Lord Jesus Christ Is the only head Of the
church. and the claims OF the Pope of Rome or any
other Roman authority to be the vicar Of Christ
and the head Of the church universal IL without
warrant to Scripture fact, and is . usurpation
dishonoring to the Lord Jesus Christ.
An offer was made on behalf Of DR.. Briggs
to the Assembly to admit the appeal as a matter
of form. the case to be reheard by the New York
Prssbytery. The Prosecuting Committee, how
ever, after conference, declined to aceede to
this, stating that the case must go on, and the
Assembly assume all responsibility.

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
Methodists Convened in Omaha in Quadren

Methodists Convened in Omaha in Quadren-
NAL Session.
The General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church closed Friday morning.
The Committee on the State of the Church
reported in favor of the appointment Of Q COM
mission consisting of three Bishops, three min
isters and three laymen to consider the ad-
visibility of the organic union of all the Meth
odist Churches in the United States. The re-
port was adopted.
At last the women question came up, and
then followed spirited debate. The Judiciary
Committee reported that the word "laymen,
in the Disci pline, did not mean both sexes.
DIR. d. II. Moore, the womsn's champion, Of
fered substitute declaring that the plan of
lay delegation was not constitutional ques-
ton but it might be decided by the action of
the General Conference, and therefore that the
General Conference might decide the right to
admit women to the General Conference with
out constitutional change. He held further
that the word "laymen did mean women as
well as men.
DIR. Kynett did not agree with the report.
He held that the word "laymsn" did mean
both men and women.
DR.. Hamilton offered an amendment proyid-
ing that the annual conferences should vote
upon the proposition to make the word "lay-
men mean men only, and in case the PROPOSE
ton was not carried by q two-third vote, then
the word "laymen should thereafter mean
both men and women. This WAS great hit.
Dr. ]. NJ. Buckley rolled out a vigorous
speech going to show that the word "lsymen"
never had meant women. He wanted the
women to come in fairly if they came in at ALL
Drs. Hamilton and Moore, he said were trying
to get the women into the conference by 8
trick.
DIR. Bristol was opposed to the scheme pro-
posed by DR.. Hamilton. He held that the
women should not come in by jugglery. Let
them come in by vote of the annual Confer
ence or not at all.
A motion was made to lay DR.. Hamiltop's
amendment on the table. 1t was not carried.
DR.. Hamilton's amendment was adopted by
a vote of 294 to liza. The result was tumul-
tuously applauded.
The question was divided. DR.. Moore's part
of the paper was laid on the table. Dr.. Hamil-
toms substitute was then adopted by vote of
241 to 100, to take the place of all othsr parts
of the paper and be submitted to annual Con-
ference. The victory was greeted by long
burst Of applause.
