Work OF the Commlttee on Revision Almost

The most notable action taken by the Pres
byterian Committee on Revision yesterday in
it's work OF revising the Westminster Confess
sion OF Faith was the confirmation of the ac-
tion Of the former committee at Washingto
In regard to retaining in the Confession what
is called tho protest against the usurpation
OF Popery.' This protest is section OF chap
ter ~ "Of the Church." A vigorous debate
took place over the clause yesterday. and con-
siderable divergence of views was shown. As
finally adopted the section reads There is
no other head OF the Church but the Lord
Jesus Christ. and the claim OF the Pope Of
Rome to be the Vicar OF Christ. and the head OF
the Church universal, is without warrant in
honorns t" the fe Lord JESUS is Ghrist o's

THE REV MR. roRDEN,s CASE
He Will Re Tried for Giving Up the United
Presbyterlan for the Episcopal Churrh

He Will He Tried for Giving Up the United
Presbyterian for the Episcopal Church.
The case Of the Rev. Mr. Jarvis worden, late
pastor Of the City Temple United Presbyterian
Church. who is now in the Episcopalian
Church. was considered yesterday by the
Presbytery Of the United Presbyterian Church.
The committee appointed to investigate the
case cited Mr.. worden as guilty OF deceit. dis
honesty. and OF obtaining money under false
pretences. The committee finds that Mr..
Worden was for many months surreptitiously
attempting to go and to take with him the
City Temple congregation into the Protestant
Episcopa! Church. While he was receiving
$500 q year salary from tho United Presby-
terian Church he was seeking grant
Of $4,000 toward building new church.
The committee had no fault to find with
any ono who because OF an honest ichange OF
opinion desired to leave the United Proshy-
terian Church. Especially for such a respect
able body OF Christians as the Protestant
Episcopal Church." but it was the manner Of
Mr.. Worden's leaving that displeased them
seriously. The committee recommended
that he becited to appear at q special meeting
OF the Presbytery on Feb. Is. to show cause
why he should not be suspended from the
ministry OF the United Presbyterian Church.
Some mem bers wanted to drop Mr.. Worden
and the whole matter. 1t was generally agreed
that he would not appear for trial, and cares
nothing for any action OF the Presbytery. But
the Presbytery wishes to assert its dignity, so
1t will cite Mr.. Worden and meet for his trial

agreement as to the prevalence OF wickedness
n that fegion. They boldly told their hearers
that there is gross depravity among them;
that many OF the young mon are dishonest
and do not pay their debts: that the moral
tone thereabout is dlsgraceful: and that the
morality even Of church members Is low. A
newsbeper reporter who was present at the
union meeting tells how the ministers "raked
tho people fore and Aft" and raked their wick
edness till even the wickedest Of them had
nothing to say In defence.
Now. It Ia fair to ask II the people Of this city
OF New York. or even the people Of Chicago or
Of Boston. are any wickeder than the people
OF the outlying region Of Connecticut In which
Middletown is located2 Are not the people OF
New York: as whole. for less wicked than the
people whom the three ministers at the union
meeting denounced for their wickedness3
And ret We would not do these people injus-
tice by saying that thcy are really wickeder
than the other people living in other parts OF
the country outside OF this city.

Mayor Grant has despatched a letter to

States interest in Wards Island. Tho State
Commissioners Of Emigration have resolved
to sell this interest and to open sealed pro-

the Governor that it will be against the inter-

rigid investigation OF the scheme might be
disastrous to the oriRinators Of 1t. The inter-

Tho Unpatrlotic Mugwumps.

We have read the Mugwump newspapers
pretty carefully. and we have failed to find
in most Of them any faint glimmerings even
of national pride and patriotism. Almost
without exception they ieer at the Ameri-
can side Of the controversy between the
United States and Chill. They take it for
granted that the United States must be in
the wrong. and that the depravity and am
bition Of American statesmen are at the
bottom Of it all. What is the use
OF making so much trouble. any way.
about few sailors II there is anything
wrong. it must be the work OF Mr.. BLAINE
and Mr.. EGAN Chilli has not asked for the
recall OF Mr. EaAN. but he has Christian
name which Is very offensive to LARRY"
GoDKIN Of Cloughbawn. In fact. II there
should be war. the responsibility would
have to be shared by " Mr.. BLAINE and the
Irish" Such is the Mugwump understand
ing OF the situation. Judging from the ut
terances Of Mugwump newspapers.
The Mugwumps talk unweariedly about
the evils and the dangers Of partisanship. If
partisanship were to be judged by their par
tisanshp. it would be an evil and a danger.
Their narrow. mean. ignorant, bitter. and
mendacious petty partisanship in their
imitation OF politics is known to everybody.
When. as now. they carry their unreason-
ing and venomous prejudices into their
views OF great question Of national self
respect. they show how utterly devoid OF
national patriotism and political decency
they are. Legitimate political descendants
of the Tories OF the Revolution and the
Blue Light Federalists Of 1912. they sacri-
flee to the bitter party spirit OF their
wretched little faction the feeling OF pa
triotism and the instinct Of Americanism.
Most Americans. Democrats or Republi-
cans. are proud to be Americans. The Mug
wump always sneers at the side OF his
country in its difficulties with foreign pow
crs. He ia always essentially a foreigner;
like GoDK1N. unnaturalized and unnatural

single detail II falls short Of what they wish.
The common sense Of Ireland would revolt
st such wrong headed attitude on the part
OF any Nationalist member. and we 90 mot
believe that Mr.. REDMOND himself would
venture to vote against bill which IN its
fundamental features answered the popular
aspiration for self-government.
Mr.. REDMOND defines his own notion OF
these fundamental features. He says that
the Irish executive should have full control
OF the judiciary and the police. But Mr..
MCCARTHY has expressed an equally de-
cided conviction on these points. and MIR.
GLADSTONE has signifled his acquiesence In
the latter's views. When. on the other
hand, Mr.. REDMOND says that he wants
Parliament which in Irish matters would be
supreme and subject only to the veto OF the
Crown. we do not understand exactly what
he means. The veto power Of the Crown
has not been exercised since the days OF
ANNE. and is universally acknowledged to
have been lost by non-user. Does he mean
that the Prime Minister Of Great Britain
should advise the Crown torevive Its lapsed
prerogative as regards Ireland alone. and
claim the right Of vetoing bill passed
by the Irish legislature and recommended
by the Irish executive? He certainly can
not mean that, for he goes on to say
that Ireland should be subject to the control
Of an executive responsible only to Parlia-
ment elected by the Irish people. But an
Irish Prime Minister would not be respon-
sible to the Dublin Parliament alone II his
will was liable to bc overridden by the re-
vived veto power OF the Crown exercised at
the suggestion Of an English Prime Minis
ter. The question how an Irish Government
Is to he prevented from encroaching on i'm
perial concerns is. indeed, a very knotty
one. and Mr.. REDMOND has not succeeded in
throwing any light on 1t.
As matter OF fact. the difference between
Mr.. REDMOND and the McCarthyite leaders
Is one Of words rather than Of ideas. Such
men as Mr.. DILLON and Mr.. DAvrTr can be
trusted to obtain from Mr.. GLADSTONE all
that the latter has in his power to give. and.
having once obtained the lever OF self-gov-
ernment. they will unquestionably use 1t to
redress any shortcomings in the original
concession OF home rule.
