however, on the whole. 10 this wish OF the
electors. NJ. DUPuT promises some sub
stantiye legislation. Bills will be intro
duced. he said. providing for hygisHic re-
forms. and for the care of abandoned chill
dren. and encouraging the establishment Of
cooperative societies. In which laborers
should share In the proft. We need not
point out that such cooperative societies
are repudlated by State Socialists. and cam
not. therefore. be regarded az concessions
TO sociallstic doctrines. As for hygienic
reforms and the establishment OF founding
hospitals, these have long figured among
tho recognized duties OF every civilized
Government. Other Affirmative measures
outlined are the reform OF the alcohol tax.
and the conversion OF the az per cent.
national bonds into bonds bearing q lower
rate OF interest.
This programme will certainly be opposed
by the Socialists. who have effected sep
arate organization: by the Radical Social
lists. Of whom NJ. GOBLET Is the Parliamen-
tsry chief; and probably. on general ag-
Rressive principles, by the Monarchich
Right. These three elements, taken to-
gether. would be overwhelmingly beaten II
all the Deputies hitherto reckoned as Min
isteriallsts should support the Government.
But the most progressive section of tho lat
ter has lately indicated an intention OF In
dependent action. 1t has chosen NJ. PELIE-
TAN for its leader and has determined TO
demand the suppression of the Concordat
and revision OF the Constitution. with q
view especially to tho abolition OF the Sem
ate. As neither OF these demands has the
slightest chance OF acceptance from Premier
DUPUY. we infer that they are put forward
as basis for possible combinations with
the Radical Socialists. How many votes NJ.
PELLgTAN can command is as yet unknown.
but nobody believes that he can muster
enough to give the Opposition majority.
The programme here referred to is not
that Of the whole Cabinet. but that Of Pre-
mier DUPUr and his more conservative
colleagues. 1t Is not calculated to please
the Radicals who were admitted to the
Ministry for the purpose OF gaining votes
In the last Chamber: and. accordingly. we
are not surprised to hear that these are ex-
pected to resign. Their places will be filled
by men who reflect more faithfully the
popular verdict OF the last general election.

The third clause OF the will empowers the
daughter to dispose OF her funds by a last
will and testament, one-iourth thereof to any
person or corporation she may desire and
three -fourths to her issue, brothers and sis
ters. and their Issue. or any one or more Of
them to the exclusion OF tho rest. All the resi-
due OF the estate is given to James Roosevelt
Roosevelt absolutely.
. The other provisions Of the will were made
to meet contingencies which might occur be-
lore the death OF the testatriE. but which have
not. 1t appoints James Il Roosevelt. samuel
I. Howland, and George L. Rives to be the ex-

errors and perversione offact. false pretence,
and fslsehood In IL, he is merely stripping
OF the rind, within which is the kernel Of
Divine inspiration and revelation.
That will not work with fair and reasonable
minds. II the Bible is properly subject TO
scientific criticism like any other book.
they know that IL cannot be OF Cop. II the
authority Of the Bible lie not far outside Of
the domain OF scientific investigation, they
know IL is not Divine. II the Bible cannot
be trusted az wholly true. they know
that 1t is not Of an authorship superior to
mans. IL It is not supernatural In It's
origin, but Is open TO criticism as a faulty
and fraudulent human production. they
want to hear no more Of 1t as q revelation
OF the will and ways OF COP.
Hence. DIR. BRIaes wastes his words when
he attempts TO reconcile his critical method
with any consistent theory Of the inspirs-
tlon and Divine authority Of the Bible.
People who accept that method as sound
and jusu6sble. want to hear no more from
him than the scientific results he obtains In
the pursuit OF It. They go to listen TO
criticism OF the Bible. not to hear him
stultify his principles Of investigation by
mixing up criticism with faith. two utterly
incongruous elements. Accordingly. DR..
BRIGGS no more satisfies the infdels he has
made than no satisfies the orthodox be-
levers In the Bible, who have turned him
out Of their company.
That is the explanation OF the growing
indifference with which his utterances are
regarded. He is neither followed as leader
nor feared as an enemy. He represents no
consistency Of principle which can serve as
the nucleus OF party of secession. as to
which tho Presbyterian Church need have
any alarm. The danger lies in the general
spread OF the infidelity which he planted.

WARRINGTON. Nov. 25.-strange ideas in

tee on Ways and Means The drift Of purpose
Is to strike capital and the profits Of most

as can be ascertSined. In framing the tariff
bill 1t is said among other things that when
different scales or schedules for the tariff bill
have been computed as to the amount OF rev.
enue that can be raised under them. then the
income tax will te adjusted so AS to make up
the gross sum that will be needed.
The proposition OF those who favor It is to
begin taxing incomes at or near the Sc, 900
notch. and keep on taxing until the last dol
lar any man has Is raached This. 1t is argued.
would fairly satisfy Socialists. Communists,
and every kind Of element OF that general sort,
who would at once feel that the discrimin ina
tion made the law worthy Of their support.
IL this tax should finally be regarded with
serious favor. another class OF persons will
step to tho front and demand attention with
every right OF being gratiied. They hold that
the law should not only exemp pt all people with
incomes under $1,000 or some similar sum.
but should give to them directly n certain per-
centago OF the money collected from all in
comes above $1,000. This. thoy say. would be
a practical way to even ur" the lncoine nues-
tiun between those wbo have none or little. and
those who have large incomes
There Is deep design in the whole busi-
ness, new departure by certain statesmen
who have their own motives. How far 1t can

IL had been the custom OF the saVages

IS religious sacrifice and on occasions like
the sickness Of a chief and the starting out
Tor war Hence these bloody sacrifices were
frequent. The hearts and the liyers Of those
sacrificed in the temples were eaten as
