these times to discipline him in the old
fashioned way in which churches used
to try to convert or punish heretics. He
may go forth without gyve or letter and
freely proclaim his opinions to all who
will listen. Aud though he may not do
so as Presbyterian minister, he will
still be treated as Christian teacher and
a learned and devout Christian scholar.
DR.. BRIGGS, in spite of all that has
been done, has considerable following
among the ministers of the church
which has suspended him. His views
will be more widely discussed than ever.
The result will probably be that. after
awhile. that church will either formally
reverse its creed or become more liberal
in its Interpretation and the requirements
made upon its ministers. Progress is the
demand of. the age, and Forward is
the watchword OF the hour. Churches
as we'll as nations must advance or they
will go down to feebleness and decay.

THE ASSOCIATION of the collapse of
Ford's theatre building in Washington
with the funeral OF BOOTH, is one of
names only, but naturally recalls Presi-
dent LINCoLN's assassination of April
18th, 1865. On the night of that day,
whilst the play of s'Our American
Cousin, - by LAURA KEAN's company,
was going on, JOHN WILKES BOOTH,
one of EDwIN's brothers, fatally wounded
the president, as he sat in a box festooned
with the American flag. For that cruel
act, just at the close OF the long secession
war, the south suffered far more than
during the war itself. With LINCOLN liv-
ing, reconstruction would have been short
and peaceful. The assassination fired the
northern heart and gave pretexts to the
STANToNs and the THAD STEvENsEs to
Judo the work then in progress at the
hands of Gen. SHERMAN. The mad act
of WILKES BOOTH drove EDWIN from the
stage at once, only to be resumed many
years after.

Senuel of The Briggs Affair.

The suspension of DR.. BRIGGS by the
Presbyterian Assembly is variously COM
mented upon both by the religious and
the secular press. The views of THE
HERALD have been expressed as to the
right OF religious body TO reject as its
minister any one who, having subscribed
to its creed and accepted its service, seeks
to break down its tenets while acting as
it's representative. There can be no rea-
sonable doubt as the right of church to
defend its own integrity by the exercise
OF such power.
The position now occupied by DR..
BRIGGS is peculiar. He is at the head OF
the Union Theological Seminary, a Pres
byterian institution, and is entrusted
with the training of young preachers
who are to be expounders OF Presbyterian
doctrine and discipline. DIR. BRIGGS an
nounces that he still holds to the views
for which he has been virtually deposed
from the Presbyterian ministry, so it is
fair to suppose that they will form part
of the doctrine which he will impart to
his pupils.
This will probably bring about con-
fict between the seminary and the As
sembly, as that institution will stand by
DIR. BRIGGS and retain him in his posi-
ton. viii the church discipline the
seminary, and il so what action will be
taken ii it remains a repository of
BRIGGS theories and opinions?
It is reported that both the Congrega-
tional and the Episcopal churches have
invited the suspended preacher to Join
their ranks. 1t is somewhat surprising
that the Episcopal church should desire
to take within its fold one who, but a
little while ago, it would have punished
as a hereto. Is it possible that DR..
BRIGGS could subscribe to the thirty nine
articles and to the Athanasian creed?
This he would have to do if he took holy
orders in that church.
The Athanasian creed declares: "Who-
soever will be saved, before all things he
must hold to the Catholic faith, which
faith except he do keep whole and unde-
filed, he shall without doubt perish ever
lastingly.' Then follows strange jun

to that he might just as easily adhere to
the creed that he has virtually in some
respects rejected. But, come to think Of
lit, he placed himself under obligations tc
teach the latter, and might possibly be
able to do the same with the former.
One great consolation to him and to al
other free thinkers is, that there i,

ROBERTS, THE British billiard cham
pion, has sufficiently recovered from his
establishment at being defeated by young
IVES, the American, to challenge him to
another contest of 5000 or 1900 points,
under the same conditions as before,
Except where the balls are jammed they
are to be spotted. - The English players,
it seems, are not up on the nursing
system. They play four ball game with
six pockets in the table, a carom mark
ing and pocket 8 points, misses count
ing one each for the adversary. Now the
Englishman will get his cue-ball on a
line with the spot-ball, and keep on
pocketing the latter ''till the COWS come
home" There is no delicacy of touch re-
quired, as in the nursing carom," and
one kind of shot is as monotonous as the
other to the spectator. a run of 254O
points, such as IVES made before he pur-
posely ''broke up' the balls, is no doubt
great exhibition of steady nerve and
patient work, but it is very tiresome to
the looker-on. and particularly was it so
to the friends of ROBERTS. For the gall
leries, there is nothing prettier than the
American three-ball two-cushion carom
game.

GENTLE READER, we invite you to
examine the contents of to-
days HERALD and note how they COM
pare with those OF the best of western,
especially far western, journals. Some
twenty-five columns of them are pub
lished simultaneously with the Chicago
Inter- Ocean, st. Louis Repablic and few
other newspapers of that character. The
special articles, and those prepared es-
pecially for women and youths, are equal
to any printed in the first-class maya
zines of the country, being from the pens
of the foremost writers in the literary
field. The pictorial features are most ar
tistic; far different from the Ratchet work
of some of our contemporaries. The whole
paper is carefully edited, and aside from
the editorial, local and Geographic pages,
and features of immediate interest, all OF
which are abreast of the times, the ''syn-
dictate, or cooperative matter is partic-
ularly entertaining. THE HERALD, in
its subscription and advertising depart
ments, has sail seasons for its own,n and
there is no time as good as now.

TIE REFLECTION. at the world,s fair q

THE REJECTION, at the Worlds fair art
department, OF Artist ANDERsoN's pic
ture illustrating the scriptural verses to
II of the eighth chapter of JOHN, has
given rise to much Interesting discussion.
The popular title OF this picture is ''The
Woman Taken in Adultery" but the
painter insists that the sentence, s'Neither
do condemn thee'' is the correct one, as
it brings out the moral sought to be in
culcated. There are three panels in the
piece, which is canvass 2Ox12 feet. The
first panel shows the entrance of the tenn
pie at Jerusalem, with the woman led by
slave and guarded by Roman soldier.
The central panel shows the Pharisees
turning away disguised when CHRIST
utters the words: "Let him that is with
out sin cast the first stone. the populace
ready with missiles to attack her. The
third panel has CHRIST saying to the
woman, "Neither do / condemn thee. u
There are in the picture nineteen life-size
figures. Prof. IVES, chief of the art de-
partment, says it was not the theme nor
the question of nudity that induced the
turning OF the picture to the wall, bat it's
artistic unworthiness. Indeed, he says 1t
is not nude picture, but did not meet
the standard requirements. 1t seems
an outside jury of ministers saw the
painting and invited ANDERSON to hang
it in their institute, SO it cannot be SO
very bad. The controversy makes good

Preachers and Sunday Papers.

a. pious Philadelphia preacher informs
the public that when he sees a newspaper
published daily except Sunday" he
knows that it is a godly paper worthy of
his support and suitable to be recon-
mended to his hearers and good people
generally. 1t is not like those wicked
papers that are published on Sunday
morning, and which no Christian ought
to read or support, because they break
the Sabbath.
The gentleman is sincere, no doubt,
though so much mistaken in his ideas
which show that he does not think quite
deeply enough. He would read with
great complacency paper published on
Monday morning feeling that there was
no contamination in its touch, but would
shrink from Sunday morning paper
as something unholy and to be kept far
from his sight.
And yet the Sunday paper is innocence
itself, from the gentleman IS own stand
ing paper, which he finds unobjection-
able. The paper published on Sunday is
all prepared, and most of it put in type,
before Saturday night is closed, and be-
fore the Sunday sun rises and sheds its
light over Christian and on-Christian
alike, is printed and ready for the public.
While the Monday morning paper entails
Sunday writing, Sunday typesetting and
sundry other Sunday labors, without
which the preacher could not have it at
all at his Monday morning breakfast.
There is p great deal of religious hum
bug in the world, and the average priestly
denunciatlon OF the Sunday newspaper
is one of its prominent features. The
preachers should not try to stop the
people from obtaining information. The
press is today the most powerful popular
educator in the civilized world. IL reaches
more eyes than the pulpiteers can possibly
reach ears. 1t disseminates more intelli-
ligence. 1t may not deal with the same
objects as the churches take up, but it
does not interfere with their peculiar
functions, and the labors of both NAV
tend to the same end. providing the pull
pit is used for the spread of intelligence.
1t is mistake to suppose that the reader
of a Sunday morning paper is hindered or
untitled for attendance at church. He is
more likely to be up and reading long be-
fore the man who doesn t take the papers
leaves his bed. And being informed
upon the topics of the times and the pro-
gress of the world, he is able better to
appreciate such lessons as the live preach
er may draw from current events, and
to perform the duties which the needs OF
the hour may devolve upon him.
Then there are many thousands of peo-
pie who do not attend public services,
Are they not better engaged in pursuing
the columns of good Sunday paper than
in idling their time or breaking the Sab.

denounce?''
| A little common sense is of great value,
even in matters religious. 1t would be a
good thing If it were injected copiously

The Kelley Cure Analysed.

The latest plan for fighting the cure of
inebrity discovered by DIR. KELLEY and
commonly called The gold cure, is to show
by che M cal analysis that there is no
gold to be extracted either from the medi-
cine administered or the s'shot' in
jected.
Learned doctors met in the east, short
time ago, and pronounced the whole
thing fraud. But the thousands of cases
that confronted them of people who were
once slaves to liquor and have had no APP
petite for it since taking the treatment,
were SO strong a witness against their de-
nunciations that they propounded various
theories to account for these effects. One
Of them was that the Imagination of the
patients was worked upon, and it had the
effect of sort OF mind cure. This is
quite amusing to people who do not care
for theories, but do pay some attention to
thoroughly authenticated facts.
A distinguished clinical instructor in
medicine at the college of physicians and
surgeons in Chicago, and member of the
pathological society there, made the
analysis OF which we speak, and gives the
following formula without stating the
quantities of the ingredients: The medi-
cine taken as q tonic: Chloride of gold
and sodium, nitrate Of strychnine, sui
phate of atropine, chloride of ammonia,
aloin hydrastin, glycerine, compound
fluid extract of cinchona, fluid extract OF
cocaine, erythrox and distilled water.
The fluid used as simultaneous injec-
ton: Nitrate of strychnine, distilled
water, and permanganate of potash
enough to color it. This is also used with
chloride of gold and sodium in some cases.
The chloride of gold mentioned in the
formula is the bi-chloride, and those OF
our readers who remember what was
claimed for the cure when it was first
widely advertised know that it was called
the bi-chloride of gold treatment, and
that this was abbreviated by the public
to the gold cure.''
We do not suppose that anybody sup
posed the discoyerer of this remedy in
jected shots OF gold into the veins OF his
patients or made them swallow the pre-
cious metal in fluid drains. But some
people may have formed exaggerated
ideas in regard to the gold part OF the
cure because of its popular name.
Physicians and surgeons who ridicule
the remedy know better about this than
unscientitic people. And they also know
that there is as much quackery in spirit
in attempting to discredit KEELEY's cure
by showing there is no gold in it, as there
is in the pretensions of those charlatans
who practice on human credulity Dy
fictitious panaceas for every i'll that flesh
is heir to.
What the general public is interested in
is, not what the cure contains, bu
whether 1t is a genuine antidote for ths
liquor habit. That once established, al
the chemical dispositions and metallic
arguments of the learned will not shake
their faith nor injure the dispensers o
the reputed remedy fast growing in pop
ular regard.

The Workings OF Prohibition.


THE HERALD has mentioned that I
New Zealander is making tour of Kan
sas with the missionary purpose of find
ing out how prohibition works. He has
not publicly announced that he is sent to
study the life, habits and manners of the
people under prohibition laws with the
view OF demonstrating its degree OF USE
fulness, so he has been able to make OBJ
servations silently and undisturbed.
But it seems that he has been taking
notes and recording them with a Kodak.
In going through the places and scenes
where prohibition does not PROFIT, he has
secured a collection of views which will
be rather a startling comment on the
workings OF the law and the condition OF
society under its operations.
In another prohibition state, Iowa, the
ministers of the Methodist church have
been requested to give their Impressions
concerning the effects OF the law, for the
benefit OF the Republican party. Most of
them advised the party to stand by the
law, but do not have the hardwood to say
| it is operative. They think it ought to
be, which is very different to affirming
that it is. A few of them state that it is
pretty we'll carried out in small places.
But the sentiment of outspoken people
is expressed in the words of one minister,
who boldly declares that, s'the law is a
dead letter and will be repealed or modi-
fed at the next session of the legisla-
ture. - And he warns the Republican
party that if they "strap the prohibition
law into their saddle this year, the con-
sequence will be that Iowa will ''con-
tinue to have Democratic governor with
the additional luxury of Democratic
Senator for the six years next ensuing. -
The difficulty with the Republican
party is that prohibition is about the only
issue that they can tie to in Iowa, and if
they do not take that into their saddle
they will have nothing to ride upon dur
ing the next campaign.
Legislative experiments with prohibit
| ton have given additional testimony to
the truth OF the notion that laws are in
effective where they are contrary to the
popular will. Prohibition works we'll
enough in small communities in which
the majority are favorable to its enforce
ment. In large cities and places where
public sentiment is against it, history
shows it to be sham. Violators of the
! law are winked at and the absence OF a
license fee renders it's cost less. 1t is
bought eagerly in qantities instead OF
1 ''drinks' and the consumption Of it is
increased.
The high license system with strict
endorsements OF laws and ordinances in re-
lation to it-which Is rendered possible
by the public revenue derived from it
has proven, so far, the most practical
method of dealing with the liquor traffic.
While the appetite for intoxicants exists
to anything like its present extent, there
will be demand which will secure a
supply. This may be regulated but not
suppressed, and wisdom suggests that this
world must be viewed and managed as il
is, not as some people wish it to be, and
that the regulation OF mems appetites is
not within the power or the functions o.
civil government.
