DR.. Briggs a Hereto.

The celebrated Briggs heresy trial is
ended. Last Wednesday night the Pre-by.
terrain General Assembly. convened a,
Washington, reversed the action of the
Presbytery of New York, which acquitted
him. He stands therefore, convicted of
heresy by the General Assembly, which is
the court of last resort in the Presbyterian
Church of the United States of America
The penalty is suspension from the minis
try until he repents.
The report of the committee appointed
to prepare the explanatory minute iu the
case, after reciting the charges, proceeds
This judicstory fiuds that said final judg-
ment of the Presbytery of New York is
erroneous and should be and is hereby
reversed, and this General Assembly, sit
ting as iudicatory in said cause, coming
now to enter judgment on said amended
charges, finds the appellee. Charles A.
Briggs, has uttered, taught and propa-
gated views, doctrines and teachings as set
forth in said charges contrary to the
essential doctrine of Holy Scripture
and the standards of said PRESBYTERIAN
Church 10 the United States of Amer
lea, and in violation of the ordination
VOW of said appellee, which said erroneous
views and doctrines strike at the vitals of
religion and have been industriously
spread; therefore this General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church In the United
States of America, sitting as judicstory
In this cause on appeal does hereby suspend
Charles A. Briggs, the said appellee, from
the ONCE of minister in the Presbyterian
Church In the United States of America
until such time as he shall give satisfac-
tory evidence of repentance TO the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America of the viola
ton by him of the said ordination VOW as
herein and heretofore found"
This action of the Assembly does not
affect the position of DR.. Briggs as pro-
lessor of biblical theology at Union theo-
logical seminary, since his position there
is dependent solely upon the action of the
directors of that seminary. Since their
action withdrawing from the compact of
1870 with the General Assembly, they have
entire control of all the affairs of the
seminary.
Having been convicted of heresy and not
of any immortality, Dr. Briggs, though
suspended, is not in any wise excluded
from the communion of the church, but
only from occupying its pulpits
Among the resolutions adopted by the
General Assembly before final adjournment
on Thursday evening, was the following:
THAT the Bible as we now have 1t in
its various translations and versions, when
freed from all errors and mistakes of
copyists and printers. is the
very Word of God and consequently
wholly without error

A poNDERoUs SENATOR.


New steamer soon to grace Green Lake
Moved WITHOUT an Accident.
The natty little pleasure steamer Senator"
detailed description OF which has already ap-
peared in these columns, has been successfully
moved from Curtis ship-yard, where she was
built, to Green Lake, distance OF seven miles,
where she soon will float upon the placid
bosom Of that beautiful sheet Of water.
The move was made on Monday. Large and
wide-wheeled trucks were obtained, and the
boat, which is forty-fye feet long, fourteen
feet beam, and weighs over twelve tons, was
placed upon them. Twenty horses did the
hauling, and about AS many men did the holler-
ing.
Ii was an unusual and picturesque sight
that string Of horses and the trim craft, as 1t
slowly and maiestically moved through the
| streets. A halt was made on State street near
THE AMERICAN Office, and several photo
graphs were taken. Then slowly the ascent
OF the hill was begun. and accomplished with
out break and with but one short stop.
| The boat was taken on wheels as far as was
possible, TO within about half a mile OF the
lake, whence she will be carried to the lake on
skids and rollers.
| She will be launched early next week at the
foot of the lake and towed to the head, where
her machinery. which is of the most improved
pattern, and now at that point, will be put in.
| Rigging Master John c. Reed had charge
OF the moving.
| The senator" takes the place on Green
| Lake OF the little steamer BOSS Hale" and Is
named in honor OF Maine's senior United
states senator, Hon. Eugene Hale. the little
steamer having been named In honor OF one of
the senator's sons.
| The Senator was built by Charles II. Cur.
lis OF this city; this is his first steamer, and be
is naturally and justly very proud Of her. She
is owned by the Green Lake Navigation Co.,
and Is intended for business and pleasure pur.
poses-the BUSINESS being in connection with
the government fish works that are located 4,
Green Lake.
DIR. W. NJ. Haines, one OF the owners, and
under whose instructions she was built saws
| that the boat will be fast a well a, durable
and her peculiar build shows that she would
be safe anywhere In almost any kind OF wealth
! er. The last work done on her was the build.

but DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy costs less than
one doctors visit. Catarrh is a loathsome,
dangerous disease. and the time has come W hen
TO suffer from it is a disgrace. No person OF
culture and r. fiuement cares to inf1ict upou his
friends his offensive breath, disgusting hawk

breathe freely and clear the throat and nose =
hence the cultured and refined use Dir. Sage's
Catarrb Remedy. And wise and prudent
man cares to run the risk of leaving his family
without protector. by letting his "sligbt ca
tarrb" run into serious or fatal throat and
lung troubles, hence the lcise and prudent
Use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. The propri.
etors OF this remedy are so confident OF its
curative properties that they have made a
standing offer of a reward Of $500 for case
they cannot cure.

CRIuCIzING CARi.I,IE.

Secretary Carlisle has been very hsr-nly
criticised for one act OF hi- and he de-
serves 1t, too. He has demanded the re-
signstion Of Major NJ. j BunncI! Of NV
York, chief Of a division III the treasury
department Under ordinary circumstances
the average republican has had NO c. m
plant TO make because OF the forced re-
signation Of republicans In the depart
ments; 1t was TO more than they expected
and no more than has always taken place
after every Change Of administration. But
this IS an extraordinary circumstance:
hence the adverse criticism
Major Bunnell was gallant Union
soldier, and lost both of his legs In action
Some years ago he had position under
the Senate, but ii being very painful to
him TO move around he was made chief Of
division in the treasury, position he
held during ClevelsEd's first sdmnistra-
ton. This making war upon crippled
soldier certainly /, not creditable either to
Secretary Carlisle OF 70 the administration.
and Is strongly at variance with these
words from Mr.. Cleveland's last letter Of
acceptance: The American people are
generous and grateful. and they have i'm
pressed these characteristics upon their
government Therefore all patriotic and
just citizens must commend liberal con-
sideration for our worthy veteran SOL
diers"

COMING FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts, is in

people here that attempts a. financial leg
islation will be the most Interesting part
of the next session of Congress, and that
the administration will have little difficulty
in controlling the House. but may be CON

Grover Cleveland wants to be presiden-
tial candidate for the fourth time, and
his worshipers are already advancing the
argument that the unwritten law against
third term for any President does not
apply To him, because his first aud second
terms were not consecutive. Surely this
Cleveland worship must be a disease. for
men whose other acts are those of sane
people seem to lose their wits entirely
when his name is mentioned; they appear
TO accept his much-talked of "consecra
ton" as fact which it is little short of
treason to attempt to argue against. You
