that the gift was made by the members as a

be lawful to refuse, at the mint any de-

that when gold and silver are combined, II

others are just the opposite. Among news.
paper men especially you find the latter class.
This is true in the case of men occupying the
editorial chair who have no newspaper train
ing and are in no wise fit for the position.
This fact is brought forcibly to my mind by
the indiscreet mutterings of the HERALD's
jealous rivals. don't know that they are to
be blamed, for it seems to be human nature
to show ones dislike when their rivals efforts
are crowned With success to the detriment of
themselves. 1t is well known that the HER
AID was never more successful than at the
present time, both from financial standpoint
and as newsgatherer. This fact is apparent
to the most casual observer, while even the
school children will tell you that the HERALD
is the paper of the anthracite region. The
public fully understands the motives of the
latter's indiscreet rivals, and am certainly
sorry that they are not as prosperous. It's
too bad; but what do they propose ito do

1t is not scientific sparring in itself that is
to be deprecated, but the so called scientific
sparring that satisfies an audience only when
one or the other, or sometimes both, partici-
pants are rendered incapable of further eff.
fort, is what demands depreciation. In addi.
ton to this is the unhealthful influence ex-
erted upon the rising generation.

The average Shenandoah business man is
proverbial for novel schemes in advertising
their business. Smith, the green grocer, en-
livened the town on Saturday by a covered
wagon bedecked with show bills, in which
were five or six over grown boys in the
character of 'knights of the cork" They
created much amusement not only for the
small boys but the older citizens as well.
Such schemes are very good, but they alone
will not draw trade. Legitimate newspaper
advertising is the proper and only means by
which to reach the buyer. Mr.. Smith ap-
preciates this fact, as his card in the HERALD
fully attests.

upon Pennsylvania to take whatever steps msy
be possible to save prominent landmarks
from destruction. With the legislature
still in session and state officials ready to take
such action a. can be lawfully taken it should
be an easy matter for Pennsylvania to acquire
. wedge Of land, . quarter or half mile wide,
bisecting the field. II the proceedings were
begun at once 1t would put stop to the grad
ing and blasting until terms were arranged
under which the trolley line could 60 on. In
acquiring any cross section Of land the state
would acquire also any rights vested in the
trolley line, and these would have to be COM
pensated for. The right to build could then
be withheld until this sum or such part Of it as
did not cover an actual loss had been returned.
The line is already blocked by farm owner,
who has refused the right Of way to the trolley
line, and this land should be acquired by the
state at once. Nothing but heroic remedy
will avail, and the remedy suggested is the only
one that has any chance OF success. The cost
would be small in comparison with the cost of
acquiring the entire field" The legislature
should not hesitate to act upon the suggestion,
for while the authorities delay the invading
corporation IL tearing down and building up
with all possible rapidity.

The new liquor law was passed in spite Of its
eonceded imperfections in order that the Dis
trict might have some enforceable law upon
which to depend. The city's complaint after
the decision in the Nan case was that no GER
tain law regulating the sale Of liquor, backed
BY . penalty to insure its enforcement, ex-
isted in the District Of Colupbia, and Con-
gress was implored to pass something, or any
thing in the shape of a law to meet this keenly-
felt want II 1t shall turn out from
Che decision Of the Court of Appeals that Con-
gress In attempting to respond to this appeal
enacted law which practically does not
TO into operation until the first Of No
vember, and leaves the present concedediy
ampotent law In force until that date,
then congress evidently made a dismal
failure of its efforts to supply the District with
Immediately and urgently needed legislation.
The new law was passed primarily to give a
penalty backbone to liquor legislation. Its first
eject was to knock the few remaining fragments
of peualty backbone out Of the old law, under
the decision that the old penalties could no
longer be enforced; and it il now virtually
conteuded that the repeating and penalty
clauses Of the new law do not themselves be-
come operative until next November.

If the expressions of the great majority of
those who spoke in the General Assembly this
morning under the "three-minute'' rule is
indicative Of the final judgment Of the
Assembly, there is little doubt that DR.. Briggs
or his teachings, or both, will be condemned by
the Assembly. Among those who spoke today
only about one in ten spoke In
favor Of not sustaining the appeal
The sentiment that prevailed was that the faith
had to be preserved intact against such de-
structive doctrines, as 1t was slleged DR.. Briggs
has taught. What form the judgment
Of the assembly is to take, whether
DIR. Briggs is to be deposed from
the ministry, or suspended from the exercise
Of his ministerial Office until he recants his
alleged heresies, remains yet to be determined.
There was little doubt. however, that in the
minds Of a majority Of the gathering
DR.. Briggs had convicted himself of heresy by
his own argument. Here and there in the
assembly were men who pleaded for broader
view Of the standards of the church,
one that would admit such utterances a.
those Of DR.. Briggs, and that would not
regard it absolutely essential to the faith that
man should not doubt that Moses wrote the
Pentateuch, but il was evident that such senti-
ment did not meet with favor among the
majority, who considered that crisis had
arisen in which they must act decidedly or else
cut the old Presbyterian ship forever loose from
Its moorings.

Pennsylvania attorney general has notified
Pennsylvania's legislature that he knows OF no

opinion was being delivered ready writer on
the editorial staff Of the Philadelphia Inquirer

enough even to the states attorney general.
After admitting that the line-marking commits

Inquirer proceeds to support the stand The
6rAR took when the matter was first laid before
the public, viz, that the primary remedy is in
The hands of the state. The Inquirer suggests
that whatever rights the trolley COM

Union line to the confederate line, and thus

Near the intersection Of Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue is q fountain which, wears
ago, was presented to this city by a man whose
motives could not have been otherwise than
good Spasmodic efforts have been made to
supply the thirsty with water that, during
the summer days, should be palatably
cool. but most of them failed utterly
within day or two. Il would seem
- though this neglected fountain offered a
great opportunity to those good people who so
forcibly and persistently advocate total absti-
hence from intoxicating liquors An ample
supply Of pure and chilly water, dispensed
without money and without price, will do much
Tor the cause Of temperance.
