The overwhelming verdict against Dr. Briggs, and his suspension from the ministry, is disappointment to the liberal element of all denomina- tions, who had hoped for the manifes. tation of 8 more tolerant and enlight- ened spirit in that eminently respecta. ble and dignified body ''rhe General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church.

 The Presbyterian church has failed to appreciate the evolution that has taken place in spiritual matters as well as in terrestrial affairs. While civili. zation and the sciences have been moving forward at tremendous pace, the Presbyterian and other churches, have held back like pouting children and watched the procession pass by.
 There is no church that has been so weakened by dissensions and sehisms. There are in this country twelve Pres byterian deneHinations, and as reli- gious writer himself Presbyterian significantly remarks "those which have the longest creed have the short est membership roll, and the most elaborate creed as well as the simplest is still compromise"

JOAN or ARC.

It was i62 years, Tuesday May 30th since the French heroine, Joan of Arc, was burned at the stake by the English, as a sorceress and heretic. After lapse of four and fifth centu- ries, however. justice was done to her memory, and, yesterday, according to dispatch from Rome, Pope Leo crowned his episcopal jubilee by am nouncing her Justification Tho an nouncement gave great satisfaction to French Catholics, as 1t is regarded as a signal tribute to the patriotic spirit of the country. Las Vegas Optic.
 Joan of Arc was the daughter oi peasants, born in 1412, in the depart- mont of Vosges, Franco, She was taught, like ether young women of her station, in that age, to sew and spin, but not to read and write. She was devoutly religious, and at the age of fifteen cOHceiving what she regarded a revelation from heaven, she succeeded in being placed at the head of the French army, She entered Orleans, then closely beseiged by the English, and in four days, by successful sallies upon the enemy, compelled them to raise the soige
 Subsequently, through the yicissi- tude of war, she was captured by the Burgundeans who had invested Com piegns and sold to the English for 16, 600 francs, Arriving at their head quarter she was accused and tried by a spiritual tribunal as a sorceress and heretic, pronounced guilty and burned Twenty-Five years thersafter tho iudg- ment in the former trial was reversed but that did not reanimate her ashes.

As to the supply of gold in the world it is not to be denied that the annual product has diminished largely during recent years. But while the annual product has dimished, the supply of gold is greater to-day than ever before Statistics show that the monetary stock of gold and gold reserve in the treas uriss and banks of the civilized world has shown an increase for every decade since 1850, being at the end of 1885 nearly four times what it was in 1850, so that instead of there being re- duced supply as compared with former times, there is a greatly increased sup ply It should be borne in mind d. ways, in considering the supply and annual product of both gold and silver, that these metals are not like other commodities of which the greater part of the annual production is annually consumed. They are not consumed, but merely used, and the only con sumption involved comes from loss and wear, winch is comparatively trifing. They do their work over and over again, year after year, for decades and even centuries, and the supply is steadily growing with time.

Option Business.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-The option busi-
ness ia carried on by spectators who
live in comfort and luxury at the ex-
pense Of the general public. AT times
they sell large quantities of fictitious
produce; this artificial supply depresses
prices to the detrlment Of producers. At
other times they buy large quantities of
fictitious produce not required for con-
sumption, and this artificial demand in
flstes prices to the detriment Of con-
sumers.
The fact that farmers sell the great
bulk of their produce during about three
Or four months of the year, while con-
sumers buy their supplies from day to
day during the entire twelve months of
the year, affords the speculstors the op.
portunity of fleeing both producer and
consumer. While the farmer is market
ing his produce and receipts at the great
trade centers are heavy, the speculRtOr
operates on the bear side Of the deal,
sells large quantities of fictitious pro-
duce and depresses prices to the lowest
notch, at which dire necessity will force
the farmer to sell. During this bear
movement the great milling combine
and meat combine get possession Of the
major part of the actual grain and actual
meat.
After the farmers have sold most of
their product, and receipts at the trade
oenters become light, the speculRtor
takes the bull side Of the deal, creates
an artificial demand by the purchase Of
fictitious produce, initiates prices and
holds the market stiff during the other
eight or nine months Of the year, much
to the annoyance Of consumers and to
the profit of the great combines that
work the msnipulstors.
The option dealing not only enables
the great combines to rob the people
systemsticly, as above described, but it
operates continually against the farmer,
as the speculstors during the entire
year become bears on the pariculRr
days when receipts are heavy and never
operate as bulls except when receipts are
light. These are the plain, unvarnished
and fundamental laws Of option dealing.
The editors and congressman who are
apologizing for the option business are
either ignorant Of its operation and ef-
fects or they are public enemies. All
the profits Of the speculstor are outside
of or an addition to the cost of produc-
ton and distribution, and any business
of q purely speculative nature is 3 public
evil. We do not class in this category
the business Of purchasing and holding
products from harvest time until they
are required for consumption. This
business is legitimate and belongs to the
system Of distribution; it serves the pub
lie convenience. But option business as
conducted by the various boards Of
trade is purely speculative, and ought to
be suppressed, for the public good.

State Convention of the "WomsnS Pro-
gresgive Political Qlub.D

To the P0puLGSt Women of Kansas:
A state convention Of the w. P. P. G.
has been called for the second Tuesday
in June (the 13th), at Topeka. All
women Of Kansas who are willing to
assist in removing by womsn's influence
the evils brought upon society by the
corrupt use Of power and the monopoly
Of natural opportunities, are earnestly
urged to attend. Our brothers are al
ready afeld; and the constitutional
amendment, if carried, as it can be, will
give as, too, the ballot with which to
come to their assistance; and in an in
vincible phalsnx we shall fall upon their
foe and ours, and drive from the world
forever that heartless monster organ
lied grsed-which, if only wealth result
to the exploiters, cares not for the hRppi-
ness nor the life Of man, woman or child.
Will you let false notions Of "woman's
sphere" deter you from joining the ranks
Of those who are struggling to be free?
Not only is the ballot to be gained, but
our women must be prepared to use it
with intelligence when it comes. Our
enemies count on the indifference of the
women of the people, aud expect to over
come the Peoples party through the
assistance Of the votes woman suffrage
will give to organized greed while our
women stay at home. The woman who,
having working man or farmer for a
husband, father, brother, or son, fails to
take advantage Of the opportunity the
proposed suffrage amendment offers,
must reflect that she is aiding to keep
those she loves, and herself as we'll, in a
condition of slavery which will grow
more and more unendurable till blood
shall sunder the shackles which, now,
woman's frRil hand might 80 easily and
peacefully break. Even the small trades
men are now mere wage esrners; the
manipulstors Of finance and trRnsporta-
ton leave the trsdesmsn only enough to
keep up the delusion that he is IN busl-
ness for himself.
Let all women who would help destroy
the power which is surely and rapidly
enslaving them and theirs organize
clubs and send delegates to this conven-
tion. All delegates will be entertained
during their stay as guests Of the To-
peks club. On arriving at either Of the
depots, delegates will take electric cars
to the transfer station, where they will
obtain transfer tickets, and, boarding
the West Sixth street car, will tell the
conductors to stop at the second cross
ing of Harrison street. On the north
west corner stands the residence of DR..
Eva Harding, where they will find men,
bers Of the Topeka club waiting to re-
ceivs them. Delegates are requested to
wear badges of pale blue ribbon; and we
shall be able to recognize and greet them
anywhere.
AS clubs are organized and delegates
chosen, the fact should be reported to
our corresponding secretary, Mrs. Belle
K, Hopkins, Ala West Seventh street,
Topeka, 30 that we may know how many
are coming. STELLA M. CLEMENS,
Chairman.

bank for 1884, with Henry Lamm as
trustee. Liabilities, $4,000; assets, Sl2,-
600. The firm hopes to so arrange mat
ters as to be able TO resume business.
New YORK, May 22.-The Sesboard
National bank to-day notified the Ma
tional Bank Of Deposit that it would not
clear for it hereafter. The National
Bank Of Deposit was chartered in 1887.
It's capital was 100000, and, according
to it's latest statement, it had net sur
plus of 100000, and undivided profits OF
$4,000. The president OF the bank is
Lewis Ransom. The bank is q small
concern, and never figured to any great
extent in the financial world. The clear
ing no 1850 committee has been requested
to inspect the assets of the bank, and
their decision will govern whether the
bank shall liquidate or not. The Sea-
board bank, while not disputing it's SOL
vency, says the Bank Of Deposit had be-
come 80 pressed for ready funds that it
deemed it's course Of refusing to clear
for it wise one.
ELMIRA, May 23.-The Elmira Ma

ing. The banks failure ia due to the
recent financial troubles of Colonel G.
D. Robinson. The bank examiners last
week reported the bank perfectly SOL
vent in case Colonel Robinson paid his
obligations; il not, the depositors would
be paid in full with q small loss to the
stockholders.
LAWRENCE, KAs., May 20. -Justus
Howell, fifteen years in the implement
business in Lawrence, assigned to-day.
Liabilities $4,000; assets $55,OOO Cause,
too much credit. There are no preferred
creditors.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 23.-Rslph Z.
Rust was to-day appointed receiver Of
all the property Of the National Electric
Manufacturing Company. The assets OF
the company appear to be about S56O,OOO
and the indebtedness about 100000.
The appointment was made by Judge
Bailey. The company is one OF the
largest electrical manufacturing concerns
in the United States. The cause for the
appointment is owing to threatening
suits arising out OF the stringency Of the
money market.
E1MIRA, May 23.-The suspension Of
the Elmira National bank has caused
big run to be made on the Elmirs Saw
ings bank. Hundreds Of excited deposit
ors have crowded around the bank all
day, but the bank has kept right along
doing business and the depositors will
all be'psid in full.
CHICAGO, May 23.-Hirsm J. Thomp-
son, wholesale and retail manufacturer
Of picture and photographers supplies
at Wabash avenue, made voluntary
assignment in the court to-day to Chas.
H. jackson, assignee. Assets, $4,000;
liabilities, $4,000.
New YORK, May 22.-The Domestic
Sewing Machine Company is in the
hands OF the sheriff under two attach
ments secured by the Astor Place bank
and aggregsting the sum Of $4,000. The
bank officials claim that they were de-
ceived when the loans were made, by

and was liable to upward OF $0UO,OOU as
indorser upon various notes which it
had discounted, which fact was willfully
concealed.
New YORK, May 24.-The suspension
Of the National Bank of Deposit, the fail
ure Of q house which has been promi-
nent in the toy trade with liabilities not
far from 100000, and the attachments
which have been issued against the Do
nestle Sewing Machine Company are, it
is believed here, only the beginning Of q
series Of financial embsrrassments which
will be made public one after another,
and will probably last all summer. There
are two, and perhaps three, large banks
which have loaned large amounts Of
money to institutions which have failed.
NEW YORK, May M.-The Van WsG-
ner & Williams Company, wholesale
dealers in hard ware, has failed, caused
by an attachment for $4,000. A receiver
has been appointed. No statement has
been made, but it is not believed the
creditors will sustain very heavy loss.
Slow payments is said to be the cause.
ELMIRA, n Y, May 25.-Mayor Robin
SON to-day made an assignment. The
ElmirR bank, that closed it's doors yes
terdsy, is q preferred creditor. The as
sets and liabilities are not known, but
may reach 100000.
DULUTH, MINI, May 25.-The Mime

Of Chicago people, with Charles Himrod
at the helm, assigned yesterday to W. Fl.
H. Stowell, president of the Duluth Iron
and Steel Company, from whom the
Blast Furnace Company leased the plant
at Duluth nine days ago. The Standard
Ore Company attached the pig iron on
hand to secure claim for ore sold.
New YORK, May 26.-The Fostoris
Banking Company, Of FOstoria, O., which
assigned this morning, according to the
last issue Of the Bankers Almanac, had a
capital of only $4,000, surplus Of $4,000,
and undivided profits Of $4,000. The
New York correspondent Of the Fostoria
Banking Company ID the National Shoe
and Leather bank.
FosToRIA, o., May 26.-The affairs Of
the MambOry Crockery Colored Glass
Company, and Brass and Iron Works,
and the Fostoris Light and Power Com
pany are so involved in the failure that
they will be put in the hands OF an
assignee at once. Everything is IN such
chaotic condition at present that facts
and figures cannot be obtained. The
bank Of Foster & Co. carried several
hundred thousand dollars Of deposits.
The bank had negotiated loans for the
brass works and the glass house, being
compelled to give its own endorsement,
and it was this fact that caused the
crash.
FINDIAY, o., May &c. President
Weisel, Of the Peoples bank, Of North
Baltimore, was here this evening to en-
deavor to procure aid. Failing to secure
this, he announced the bank would close
its doors in the. morning, having been
dragged down by the Foster failure. It
was heavily involved in another recent
failure, and this second blow caused the
collapse. Mr.. Foster was stockholder
in the bank.
