PRACTICAL BENEvoLBNUE.

Mr.. P. d. Armour. Of Chicago, has
long been known to his friends as a man
of practical benevolence who has made
many Investments where the only re-
turns to himself were the satisfaction
of doing kind acts and the pleasure
arising from contemplation of the con-
sequent prosperity and comfort of fell
low-creatures whom he had aided-the
highest form of pleasure, according to
excellent authority. In many cases this
b~enevolence, always modest and unob-
trusive, has taken the form of assist
ing young men to help them
selves, and it is probable that
his intercourse with young men out
of employment has convinced him of
the advantages of an education which
will fit a boy for some profitable occupa-
ton al the same time that it gives him
intellectual training. AS conditions are
now. the majority of boys leave school
at an early age. owing to the necessity
of fitting themselves for business.
With a chance for doing this while they
were in school a large number Of them
would remain longer and could we'll
afford to do so, for the manual skill
or technical knowledge they would
have acquired at the age of
eighteen would qualify them for
better positions than they would be likely
to command through their independent
exertions by that time. And the addi-
tional "book knowledge" that a boy
gains between the ages Of fourteen and
eiehteen-literary studies as well as
mechanics and arts being a part of the
curriculum of manual training schools
lis necessarily of great value to him.
1t is because of the time required to fit
young men for business that so many
are unable to spend more years in
school, and it is the lack of practical
knowledge which he can put to immedl-
ate and profitable use that places the
college graduate at SO great a disad-
vantage.
The benefits that will accrue to the
people Of Chicago from the institution
likely to exceed in value all they will
derive from the worlds fair, great as
are their expectations in this line. They
are fortunate, indeed, in having among
them a citizen who combines with his
wealth and public spirit the good judg-
ment which enables him to bestow a
gift that will be of service to the great

THE CASE OF REV. DIR. SMITH.

Although the decision of the Cincin-
natl P~resbytery in the case of the Rev.
DIR. Smith had been pretty clearly fore
Swallowed during the trial, it's announce
ment will cause somewhat of a sensa-
ton in Presbyterian Church circles.
After about nine months of contention
and a trial lasting several weeks the
presbytery finds DR.. Smith guilty of
heresy and suspends him from the min
istry until such time ms he shall make
manifest to the satisfaction of the pres
bytery his remuneration of the errors he
has been found to hold. and his solemn
purpose no longer to teach or propagate
them" There is in this decision and
punishment an er cathedra tone of in
fallibility and intolerance that does not
accord with the spirit of the nineteenth
century, and which can hardly fail to
set many ministers and members of the
Presbyterian Church wondering whether
they are not heretics as well as DR..
Smith.
There were three charges against DR..
Smith, with several specifications under
each charge. The charges were based
on certain teachings of his in two ar
ticles published last spring in the New
York Evangelist and in a pamphlet en-
titled biblical Scholarship and Inspira-
tion." Stripped of verbiage and boiled
down, the charges and specifications
were all to the point that Dr.. Smith
was guilty of heresy in denying the
verbal inspiration of the Bible and in
sisting that many statements of the So
called inspired writers were historically
unreliable and scientifically incorrect.
He did not deny nor in the slightest de-
gree inpugn the sacredness'and binding
force of the Bible as q rule of faith and
practice, but he insisted that those por-
tions of it which did not relate to spirit
ual life and conduct should be judged
in the light OF reason, and that, being SO
judged, they disclosed errors of history
and fact. The finding of the presby-
terry. in effect, asserts that every part
of the Bible is equally inspired and in
fallible, and that to attempt to bring
any statement in it to the test of his
tory, science or reason is heresy. Ii
this is heresy there is reason to believe
that many of the brightest men in the
Presbyterian Church are tainted with it.
The decision of the presbytery does
not end the Smith case. 1t debars him
from preaching until he shall recant,
but he says he will not recant. That
means that one of the ablest men of
the Presbyterian Church in the West
will be excluded from the pulpit tenn
porarily, at least. and. perhaps, perna-
nently. DR.. Smith will appeal to the
synod, which meets next October. and
meantime will continue to teach In
ane Seminary, but he cannot preach.
The action of the presbytcry savors
strongly of ecclesiastical intolerance
and big0try.

The Boat Railway.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The, Democratic
members of the house of representatives
are getting ready to make big fight on
the Columbia river boat railway amend-
ment In .he river and harbor bill. They
do not make much of an objection to the
improvement of the river, but base their
opposition to the boat railway scheme as
q whole. They assert that this PROPOSE
tion means the government will be com
mitted to building railways at such
places, as seems expedient for the com
merce of any section of country, and for
this reason they intend to oppose the
project The real reason why the Demo
Gratis Of the house will make such fierce
opposition to the boat railway scheme
comes directly from the Democratic party
of Oregon. That party, having com
mitted itself to the portage railway
scheme, seeks to prevent action by the
national congress for the boat railway, or
more practicable plsn, for party reasons.
1t has been impossible TO get at all the
communications received in Washington
from Governor Pennoyer, and other lead
ing Democrats in Oregon, but enough is
known to make it absolutely sure that
every effort Is being made to prevent con-
gress from committing itself to the boat
railway scheme, which is fathered by
the Republican senators and urged by
the representative from Oregon. The
opposition is beng used in secret
manner, and, it is understood, the
Democrats of the house are be-
ing urged, as party, to stand by the

DoIph,s Position.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Dolph
says be felt much relieved by the passage
of the Chinese restriction law and its ap-
proval by the president. The attorney
general had sustained his position that
previous legislation expired May 9th, and
in view of that emergency, the president
took the opinion OF the attorney general
and approved the bill within four hours
after he had received it. The judiciary
committee of the senate had never agreed
or reported that the Chinese law would
expire May 9th. Senator Dolph had 8
long interview with the president con
cernlng the bill Immediately after the
report OF the conference committee had
been adopted by the senate. and it is
understood the president agreed with him
that the bill was not. violation of the
treaty, and that the provision for issue of
certificates, while 1t would be effectual to
enable the government to distinguish be
tween Chinese laborers entitled TO remain
in the United States and those unlaw
fully here, might as well be treated as a
measure beneficial to Chinese lawfully
here, by affording them evidence of their
right to remain, as Injurious to then.
