The General Assembly in Session at Pordand-Dr.
Briggs Arrives on the Ground Feeling
Well After His Long Rids-His
Case Not Yet Called.

PORTLAND, OREGON, May 93.-Dr
Briggs has arrived. after a pleasant trip
over the Union Pacific. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Briggs, and is looking
improved in health by his journey.
After reading the minutes OF the as
sembly the reports Of special commit
tees were again taken up. DR.. Bartlett,
of Washington, presented report on
Indian schools. 1t was recommended
that heuceforth all public moneys for
Indian education should be expended by
Government officials, and that appropri-
ations for sectarian schools should abso-
lutely cease The constitutional amend
ment now pending looking TO this end
was heartily approved. DR.. Bartlett
addressed the assembly in support OF
recommendations.
The order of the day having arrived,
the report OF the standing committee on
missions and freedmen was presented
by DR.. Sutherland, Chairman. After
the reading OF the report the assembly
was addressed by DR.. Glenn, its Secre-
tary.
The Committee on Bills and Overtures
reported that IL is not considered wise,
I'm view OF the present agitation in the
church, 20 proceed Immediately with
the preparation Of the shorter creed.
This shelves the matter tor another
year.
The report Of the committee on re-
vision OF the Confession OF Faith was
presented. None of the changes pro-
posed impair the integrity Of the Cal
whistle system OF the confession. The
action proposed by the committee con-
SiStS OF twenty-eight overtureS, each
one covering a change proposed to the
confession. The report says:
'It was found impossible to meet the
individual preferences OF every presby-
terry without setting aside what were
known 10 be the views Of the large ma
iority OF the church. There was an ef-
fort made 70 secure harmony at any
sacrifice. The report is the very best
that the committee has been able TO pre-
pare.
The seminary directors report in the con-
ference was then presented. 1t dwelt up-
on the conference committees acknow-
Judgement of being party TO
agreement by which a veto power
over seminary appointments was grdnleu
to the Assembly in 1870. IL was also show
ed that the transfer of DR.. Briggs to the
chair of biblical theology was not an cleo
tiou according 10 legal requirements.
In the matter Of elections, the directors
said: The Board respectfully reports TO
the Assembly that we can but regard our
selves as sOlemnlv bound by our in
terpretation Of the agreement, and
must discharge our duties as directors
accordingly. In 1870. this board conceded
one thing. and only one 70 10 the general
assembly: the right 20 disapprove the cleo
ton or appointment Of professor. II DR..
Briggs had been appointed TO the
chair of biblical theology disapproval
of the assembly would have been decisive
with US. Buta professor can be elected in
this institution only in accordance with
our laws, and according to those laws DR..
Briggs was not elected"

WOMEN AS MINERS.

They Are Employed from Mere Girls to
Old Women.
LONDON, March 14.-The awful calam-
ity in Belgium has called general atten-
ton to the subject of female labor In the
coal mines of that country. The en-
ployers prefer women as miners because
they are more docile, and work for
somewhat less wages than the men.
The women receive one franc and a
half for twelve hours work in some of
the Belgium collieries. They are most
ly middle-aged women, but females are
found in the coal pit as young as four
teen and as old as sixty years of age.
Some of the married women have
been known to take their babies strapped
to their backs down into the pit, and lay
the little ones near them while they
We're engaged in digging coal. This is
one of the evils that worlingmen want
to see reformed. They claim that if
they had universal suffrage, the Belgian
parliament would not be merely repre-
sentative of the upper and middle
classes, but would legislate also for the
benefit of the toilers, who are now little
better than serfs. 1t is said that some
colliery ON lers refuse to employ a
miner in Belgium unless he is able to
bring one or more members of his fami-
ly into the pit with him.

Go 10 Work.

We are on the eve of great
political battle in West Virginia.
The Republicans not utterly dis
couraged by the result of 1890, are
gathering their forces together for
another mighty effort to gain our
State for their State and Presiden-
tial ticket this fall. The exigencies
of the hitherto doubtful and Re
publican States are now such that
the vote of West Virginia is more inn
portant to them than ever in the
electoral college; hence we see the
attention given West Virginia by
Harrison; the reward of Golf, their
old leader, with fat Office; and the
installation of a cabinet officer, a
man of great wealth and reputed
INSCRIPTIONS political methods in
the position of leader of the Re-
publican forces in West Virginia.
And already we observe renewed
activity around their political head
quarters; two secret circulars have
been brought to light, and clubs
and committees are organizing from
one end the State to the other.
Our committees and clubs, we
are happy to see, are not wholly
idle. Never before was there a
greater need of thorough committee
work. The new election law will
revolutionize the old methods of
party warfare on election day. The
task of casting ballot will be far
from the simple one of former
times, when any ignoramus, though
deaf, dumb and blind, could scarcely
make mistake. In consequence a
campaign of education in method,
as well as in principles, will be es-
sential and should be commenced
in plenty of time.
We are in receipt of an excellent
pamphlet from the State committee
with instructions for the organiza-
ton of clubs and committees so as
to do the most effective work under
the changed order of things, which
we would be pleased to give to any
Democrat who will call at our Office
for a copy. We trust our local
leaders will hasten to post them
selves in accord with the plan of
organization. With an united party,
full vote, and strict watch upon
Elkins' reputed methods, victory is
certain. Let the movement for a
Democratic club at this place be
put on foot at once.
