A Way the President Has.

From the Kansas City Times.
1t was during Cleveland's first incumbency
The daughter Of lawyer prominent in .
neighboring Kansas town had married an officer
who a few months after the ceremony had
been detailed to q remote post The young
wife. who had enjoyed q sort of belleship in
the semi-metropolitan community IN which
she had been reared, felt as if she were abou,
to be buried alive. Encouraged by her hus-
band and father she repaired to Washington te
seek reprieve at headquarters.
Fort Riley? Why. that's q pretty good de-
tail, isn't it," asked the President to whom the
lady had stated her case.
'No, sir; it doesn't suit me at all"
shouldn't we try to be satisfied where w
aret' continued the chief magistrate with q
pstronizing smile.
You might have been satisfied with being
sheriff At Buffalo, but You wanted to be the
President Of the United States" came the pert
retort
Mr.. Cleveland arose with the same patriarohal
smile on his face. but the lieutenants wife still
drees her weird at Fort Riley.

Press Comments on the Briggs Case.
This schism turns on nothing that can be
permanent 1t is q quarrel about terms and
not about things. The terms will eventually
be adjusted and harmonized. Both sides admi,
that the Scriptures contain all the necessary
rules Of faith and practice. but one side insists
that the Scriptures are not a history book q
science book or an arithmetic book, while the
other side insists that those questions should
not now be raised. One side insists upon the
primary and another upon the only secondary
agency of human reason and the church az
guides to God. That is but distinction with
out vital difference.
So long as men can read men will think So
long as men will think they will think on wha,
they read So long as they think on what
they read they will think on the Bible, and
will subject it to the criticism and examine
ton which every work claiming to be divine
or human will always and everywhere receive.
What is called the new theology today will
be old and superseded century hence. What
is called the old today will be something fol
which people, one hundred years from now
will excuse and forgive their forefather fol
having held. The attempt of the assem-
bly, to stop the operation Of thought il
puerile. The attempt of the Briggs men to
force the mental pace Of the conservative
majority was Ill advised and vindictive. Both
sides between them have weakened the hold OF
Presbyterianism on the intellect Of the age and
decreased its attractiveness to the heart Of the
Brooklyn Eagle.
The conviction Of DR.. Briggs Of heresy by the
Presbyterian general assembly will probably
not cause much excitement in the world.
1t simply means that the assembly
prefers to stick to old-fashioned
Presbyterianism, while DR.. Briggs prefers
no longer to Submit to the Presby-
terrain doctrine. but be something else. This Is
all there is of il, and as this is land in which
freedom Of conscience prevails the assembly
will in future go their way and DIR. Briggs will
go his. while each will be willing to make final
appeal to the Creator of both.-Richmond
Times.
DIR. Briggs must go. The high court Of Pres
oyterianism pronounces against him, preferring
an outworn creed to the living truth He musi
go; but he will not go alone The three to one
vote OF the general assembly, virtually convict
ing DIR. Briggs of heresy after he had once been
acquitted by the New York presbytery, without
doubt will open a schism in the church.-Port-
land (1Me.) Advertiser.

All You Need is Naked Eye and an Ordi.
nary Smoked Glass.
From the New York Sun.
The astonishing large group Of spots on the
sun has been the talk Of many astronomers fol
several days. Some Of them think 1t the big sun
spot Of year ago broken up and distributed. II
disappeared from view when the earth passed
to the other side Of the orb, and would be due
In the field Of vision about this time.
The more general opinion among the local
astronomers, however. Is that the big group Of
spots signifies . new convulsion In the sun and
that changes Of extraordinary magnitude are
In progress there. Never before have sun
spots appeared SO suddenly and upon a scale
% gigantic. They will change from day 10
day, and the future, 1t Is thought, may have
IN store phenomena Of trsnscendent interest.
When the sun was recently under observation,
during its period Of total eclipse. nothing was
seen Of the spots. The corona, as observed by
Prof Schasbsrls In South America, showed by
the play Of its ross-colored flames that the
gaseous envelope was undergoing sxtraordi-
nary changes and that commissions Of some
kind were In progress or approaching.
