Decent Compensation for Our Ambas-

Decent Compensation for Our Ambas-
sailors.
In an interview published In the Tribune,
the Hon. WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS. who
has Just returned from four years diplo-
matte service in Germany to fill dis
tinguished place as Judge In the court Of
last resort in New Jersey. speaks wisely
upon subject which happens to be OF much
Importance in this country:
"Ithink that IL the United States sends AmbAssa.
doris TO foreign courts We should pay to them the full
salary or AmbsssAdors An Ambassador from tho
United States should have income large enough to
enable him to live in the manner in which AmbaSsa-
doris from other countries ere supported"
This Is us true as it Is simple; and yet
there is considerable party of our fellow
citizens who hold that the Government
should pay its Ambassadors only about
enough to meet one-quarter Of their neces-
sary expenses. The rest they should fur
nish out OF their own private resources. or
else run in debt for 1t. In the view of such
philosophers. every man who Is chosen to
represent the country abroad. should be
willing to pay roundly for the honor OF being
appointed to attend to the public business
This Is ridiculous and shameful sort of
parsimony. and We trust that when Con-
gress comes to deal with the subject, 1t will
evince disposition more just as well as
more generous.

Where Arc They?

| A correspondent tells us that the BRIGGS
| party refuse to pay any respect to the de-
cision OF the General Assembly denouncine
rs heretical the doctrine that the Bible is
true only 30 far as 1t satisfies the test Of
scientific criticism. He says that they will
| go ahead, teaching only what they believe
| Individually.
| That being 80, there IL for them no such
| institution as the Presbyterian Church
They insist on believing as they please
without regard to ecclesiastical authority
They are Presbyterians SO far rs Presby-
terianism agrees with their opinions. but
only so far. They declare their indepen-
dence of all ecclesiastical domination.
The BRIGGS party. accordingly. are In
the position which all the opponents of
ecclesiastical authority occupy. They be-
lieve what they please. They take nothing
from dictation. In other words. they re-
fuse to submit their belief to the authority
Of Church.
Hence they are outlaws against the Pres
byterian Church. They are rebels, mutt
neers an insubordinate faction, and they
have no ecclesiastical standing. They re-
main in the Presbyterian Church nominal
ly, but they stay only because Of the loaves
and fishes it provides. They have not the
courage to carry out their principles in
practice. They were beaten in a fair fight
They tried to rule. but the great weight Of
Presbyterian sentiment was against them;
yet they insist on remaining as II they had
won the victory.
That is not position which commands
the public respect. That respect goes rather
to the dominant majority. which remained
true to it's faith in the Bible. Faith is not
compulsory. 1t is purely matter Of free
will. Every man has the liberty OF belev-
Ing as he CHI 0oses taking the consequences
as they may come to him.
If. then. the BRIGGS Presbyterians deny
the authority Of the General Assembly
to regulate their doctrinal sentiments for
them. they ought to deny and repudiate
Presbyterianism. They ought to demand
that the individual conscience. and not the
agreement Of a Church council. should set
tie such questions OF faith.
We give our profound respect to tho vast
and controlling majority OF the General
Assembly Of the Presbyterians. We have
no respect for the minority. which does not
dare to bolt. but Is ready to sacrifice it's con-
victions under the rule of the majority.
