FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES.

Our Populistic friends eeem to
be laboring under misapprehen.
zion with respect to the present
political status. They appear to
believe that because Republicans.
Democrats and Populiste unite in q
belief that the unlimited coinage
of silver is a correct economical
principle, they must all necessarily
be Populists. That is about equal
to saying that because Catholics
and Presbyterians and Islamites
believe in the resurrection Of the
dead, they must all be Mohammed-
ans. Populists seem to ignore the
important fact that free silver is q
very Insignificant plank in their
platform. Fiat money is their
cardinal principle and that means
nothing more or less than metallic
decentralization. There is q wide
difference between the contention
Of genuine silver men and the pos.
ition of the Populists. The none.
tary laws involved are fundamen-
tally antagonistic; and right here
we venture TO say that in
so far, as principle is con-
cerned the Populists are nearer
in line with the 60 called gold bugs
than they are with silver men.
The gold bugs seek to regulate
monetary circulation by artificial
means and their purpose at this
time is to restrict circulation. The
Populists stand on precisely the
same principle they too seek to
regulate circulation by artificial
means-but it SO happens that
just now they propose to increase
circulation. To put this matter
clear, because it is of utmost i'm.
portance, it may rightly be stated
thus: The owner of gold money
wishing to increase the value of
his property wants to legislate all
other kinds of money out Of exist.
ence. The Populists, owning diff
ferent kind of property, the value
of which is measured by money,
wants to legislate into existence
an unlimited quantity Of paper
money, thereby increasing the
value of his property. Both gold
bugs and Populists want legislative
or artificial regulation, and natur
ally enough each wants it in his
particular interest. To determine
which side is prompted by the mos,
selfish motive would be matter
of great difficulty.
The silver man occupies a radi.
cally different position. He says
gold and silver have been the
recognized money metals for ages

Operation,
and Then Takes His Own Life to
Avoid the Crimes Conse-
QuenCeS.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June "A more
extended account of the death of Mrs.
Cotton and suicide of Dr.. Elderkin is
given in a special from Cha utauqua to-
day, which says:
Mrs. o. G. Cotton, married woman
thirty-tive years old. went to the office
of DR., w. K. Eldorkin, which was in
the cottage of Mrs. Harwood. 1t was
about $3.50 o'clock. Mrs. HARDWOOD left
the house Oh an errand. When she re-
turned at about s o'clock she heard
heavy breathing from the doctors
room. She went to the door and found
no light, and could get no reply to
her inquiries. On going into the
room She found the dead body of the
woman on lounge, and the doctor was
unconscious in chair. A telephone
message was Immediately sent to May
vile for medical aid, but Elderkin was
dead before it arrived. He left a writ
ten statement, saying that he had per-
formed criminal operation upon Mrs.
Cotton, which resulted in death from
shock and heart failure. He felt
that he could not endure the conse-
quences, and had administered hypo-
dermc dose of morphine. The husband
of Mrs. Cotton was absent in Garland,
Pa, where they formerly lived. Elder
kin was about forty years of age. and
has wife and child living at Cleveland,
O., with whom he has not been living
for some time. Coroner Van Dusen
was called this evening and had All
autopsy performed, which proved the
truth of the doctors statement regard

DIR. ECOB WITHDRAWs.
He Gives His Reasons for Leaving
the Presbyterians.

the Presbyterians.
ALBANY, N. Y. June 4.-Rev. Dir.
James Ecob. of the Second Presbyterian
church in this city. in his morning SER
mon today renounced his allegiance 10
the Presbyterian denomination because
of the decision of the general as
sembly in the Briggs case. DE-.
Ecob'S church is one of the m )St
influential in the city, and his con-
gregation is made up of the most intel
iectual men in the city. After review
ing the action of the general as. EN- by
and arragning it for its bigotry. he
said: Il leave the Presbyterian thu Ell
because it has taken on garment hat
has lain buried i'll the grave # I more
than two centuries. 1t smells OF the
earth and of DEATH" He then. WITH Il
dramatic gesture, said: II brl sh it off
forever"
He gave his reasons for leaving, say
ing that he considered that further
battling of the question would be Il
guerrilla warfare with but little hope
for successful minority. He character
lied the general assembly as 1.-THE m St
intolerant, bigoted and reactionary jdy
of all religious denominations"
He advised that the liberal element in
the Presbyterian church unite with the
Congregationalists. the Cumberland
Presbyterians, the Free Will BLptists,
and under the broad wing of the Episce-
pal church TO form 1.-The free church of
| America"
At the close of his service DR.. Ec, b
was surrounded by his congregation,
the great majority of whom expressed
sympathy with his views. Dr. Ecoo is
an eloquent divine. and has been pastor
of the Second Presbyterian church for
over twelve years. 1t is probable that
the church will support his action. and
leave the denomination with him.

Thursday, June l. 1898. will long re-
main marked day in the annals OF
American Presbyterianism. On that
day Charles A. Briggs was sus-
pended from the Office of minis
ter in the Presbyterian church. 1t is
not commended that he was surpassed by
any of the court that tried him in schol-
arship, love of the Holy Savior, or
Christian character. He simply taught
some opinions which were not in
harmony with those held and
urged by the majority of those
who composed the court. For
this he is under censure until he re-
penis. Meanwhile he has lost nothing
III Christian standing. He is still a
member of the Presbyterian church, and
should he desire to change his church
relations he would probably be wei
coined cordially in either one of two or
three churches"
Referring to the trial Of DR.. Briggs,
the Rev. DR.. Davies. of the Fourth
AveLne Presbyterian church, said this
morning that in times not very remote.
armies would have been needed to set
tie that which the general assembly
had done peaceably and decorously. de
considered it sign of progress.

who was loud in his denunciation of the

IL am opposed to all coalitions which

Sherman act, which c0mpels the pur-
chase of silver TO the amount of 100000

SOUTHERN SENSATION.
Bishop Joyce Spends Night
in the Home of Elder Brooks,
COlOred.
White Men of the Vicinity Swear
Never to Touch His III ana
Again.

CLEVELAND, Tenn, June 4.-The
action of Bishop l. w. Joyce. of'the M.
E. Church North, presiding over the
Holston Methodist conference of East
Tennessee, in accepting the hospitality
Of and permitting himself to be enter
tanned by Elder Brooks, colored, of the
African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church. of Cleveland, last week,
has brought about the biggest
church sensation this church or East
Tennessee ever knew. Bishop Joyce
is well known all over the South as a
remarkable man in point of intelli-
gence, and as man Of great personal
magnetism. Recently upon his return
to Chattanooga from short trip into
girls and young men, members OF the
Chattanooga Epworth League of the
Stone church, the leading Northern
Methodist church OF that city, met him
at the train in carriages that were pro-
fuSely decorated for his reception with
bright-colored ribbons, and, as he adj
vanced from the train to his equipage.
the maidens scattered roses and other
fragrant flowers before his feet.
Not more than fortnight afterward
the bishop was entertained in this town
by brother of the coiored Northern
Methodist church. 1t would be impOs
sible for person who has always lived
in the North, and who does not under
stand the sentiments of the Soutberners
in such matters, to comprehend what
sensation this action OH the part OF the
bishop has caused. 4u
The action was premediated. The.
bishop wrote to the pastor of the
church. Rev. Mr.. Anderson. that he
was coming, and that he would stay
over night with him. He was accord
ing met at the train by a delegation Of
colored citizens and escorted to the
home of Elder Brooks. who lives in a
pretty little cottage situated in the
heart of the negro settlement on the
outskirts of the village. There the
bishop found the house as clean
and white as soap and water and hard
work could make it. The good brother
in black had killed the latest chicken.
But, if the negroes are delighted, the
white people are anything but that.
Several members of his own denomina-
ton here swear never to touch his hand
again.

Peru Said to Be Ripe for a Revo-
luton.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Semi-otficial
reports still continue to reach Washing
ton from Peru indicating a threatening
revolution in that country. A private
letter received from Lima today repre-
sents an extremely critical politi-
cal situation, and grave danger
is apprehended of revolution be-
fore the day of the presidential
election. The unpopularity of the can
didate for the presidency and the OLD
controversy about tine nitrate beds
which Chilli assumed control of at the
close of the war with Peru are given
as the cause of the unrest. At the COM
ing election it is to be decided by ballot
whether Chill is to be paid certain
portion OF the revenues obtained from
these beds. The agitation of the question,
it is said, has aroused much of the old
war spirit, and further complications
between the two countries are feared.

partment on the subject, but both the
