TUE BRIGGS CASE.

THE Presbyterian assembly fhas con-
cluded to put itself on trial in the DR..
Briggs case. the nineteenth cen fury being
the jury.-Chicago Mail.
IT is q mournful spectacle to SEQ the
at the stake animating the Presby terrain as
sembly at Washington AGAINST DIR. Briggs.
Toledo Blade
DR.. BRIGGS. in bis eloquent plea against
being tried q second time on the same
charges of heresy remarked that "a funda-
mental principle 10 at stake" In other
days there wouId have been more than
that at stake.-New York Recorder.
DIR. BRIGGs evidently believes in the con-
stirutional principle that no man should
bs twice placed In jeopardy of life or limb
for the same offense. He protests against
being twice tiled for heresy. The limb
that is In jeopardy is not q linn b of the la ".
but limb of the gospeL-New York Press.

Briggs is to-day as far outside the church
and the average belief of it's effective MEN,
bership as though he had never known
what it was TO give adherence TO its lead
marks far in the rear. What is to become
OF him remains to be seen.-Philadelphia
Telegraph.
THE charges against him are serious. If
sustained he has no place in the Presby
terrain Church. But charges are one thing
and proof of them is another. What DR..
Briggs really does believe we are in q fair
way of finding out before long, and until
then the Presbyte commissioners will
do well to dwell In peace and let the trial
proceed In perfect Justice and with the one
intention OF getting ut the truth.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer,
The situation of the Briggs case is some
what like this: Suppose that a man had
been tried before one of the courts here
having full jurisdiction and found not
guilty; ana after the trial suppose the dis
trict attorney. without any new evidence.
should move for another trial before an
other court. This would be considered rs
rather queer proceeding inasmuch AS 1t
would be trying man who had been found
no. guilty twice for the same offense: but
that is Just what the General Assembly
decided to do.-Buffalo Commercial.

Fat. of the Bumorou. writer

The Chicago Tribune was so much i'm
pressed with Miss Susan b. Anthony's rec
ommendation before the woman's con gress
that women should start daily paper Of
their own that 1t interviews her on the
subject to the extent of three columns. The
interviewer is evidently skep optical as to the
success of paper operated entirely by
women. and asks. among other things.
where she would find her female humorist,
and why it was that no woman had ever
made her mark in the newspapers as q
humorous writer. Miss AnthoDy's re-
ply to this is O little lame She
thinks one cause why women do not
write jokes is that woman's spirit is never
absolutely free. Precisely what she means
by this 10 not clear. as the spirits or IDnum-
cradle women are free enough TO permit
them to make the brightest and wittiest of
speeches and TO appreciate and enjoy the
witticismB of others. lnasmuch as the con-
tributors to the humorous papers are
anonymous. with the exception of tie writ
ers OF nonsense verses which frequently
have feminine names attached. it will not
do TO assert positively that women do not
produce this class OF work. That they pre-
fer to remain anonymous, or. knowing
themselves capable of writing funny things.
refrain from exercising their powers. may
be due to the warning given by the unhappy
fate of professional male humorists.
Artemus Ward, fortunately for his reputa.
tion q laugh provoker. died before his
wit had begun TO show the dullness that
inevitably overtakes this variety of litera-
ture when ITS production is too long con-
tinued. Artemus might have sunk into
oblivion earlier, but. luckily for him. he
never undertook to write for the New
York World or TO do sy Indicate work. The
DaD6 bury News man was immensely popu-
lar for two or three years as q writer OF
humorous paragraphs but he could not
stand the strain and vanished from
knowledge of the public. Burdette fol-
lowed, and said great many witty
things. but adverse fate overlook him
in the shape of the World and syndicates,
aud he 10 now heard of no more. IN.
Quad" who, as the historian of the Lime
Kiln Club," and author of other amusing
chronicles attained much celebrity. il not
quoted since he left the Detroit Free Press
and took q position on the New York
WORLD. Mark Twain long since ceased
to live up to the reputation estab-
lished by his ''Innooents Abroad"
and nothing is more drsary than the
labored-and labeled" funny business"
in his later writings. Bill Nye-but It Is
unkind to call attention to the condition
of one who does not realize that no hes
taken the fatal step from the humorous to
| the lugubrious and still twitters away with
depressing volu bility in the World.
When women start the paper Susan has
in mind they Will. if they are wise. hire
their jokes written by some of the desper-
ate men willing to engage In that sort OF
mental labor In spite of it's dangers.
