The Editorial W g.

The National Editorial Associa-
ton is composed in the main of
publishers of country newspapers,
and the influence of woman is one
Of the potential forces of thecountry
press. The wife or daughter Of the
country editor Is very frequently
his most valued assistant, not only
in the making Of his home, but in
the making of his newspaper. And
this ia one secret of the power of
the country press which is not
fully understood by the editor
of the big city paper. The editorial
tive" generally expresses the opin-
ions Of the country editor, and the
country newspaper rarely contains
an editorial sentiment or an i'm
portant piece of news which is not
acceptable to the editors house
hold. The result is that the country
press is, first, true to the family
and all else that makes for good
government follows.-Paper and

Uncle Sam Thinks France and

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The au-
thorities here do not consider the
Madagascar question as settled, but
postponed until the latter part OF
this month.
The French official who has
been authorized to take summary
steps to maintain Frances posi-
tion in Madagascar, will not arrive
there until Oct. -. The recent

Paris, but it will be when he ar

France and Great Britain may be

Semi.OffiCial advices received
here are to the effect that the new
official is directed to close the long
contention by asserting the rights
of France and then backing them
up with force. To this end 10000
French troops will soon follow the
official. 1t is believed, therefore,
that while the announcement that
France has blockaded Madagascar
ports is premature, it fOreshadows
stirring events in Madagascar as

PRESAGES CALAMITY.
The Coats Spring, Which Foretold the
Wars Of 1872 and 1860, Again Active.

NORRISTOwN, Pa, May 26.-The peo-
pie of Bridgeport are perturbed over what
is believed to be a certain Indication of
war which manifested itself on Tuesday.
A spring the farm of Samuel Coats. In
Upper Merton township, near the borough
line, has been sending forth a copious flow
Of water after being dry for nearly thirty
years. James Henderson is the tenant of
the Coats farm, and on the spot where the
spring is bubbling he had some wheat as
he did in the rest of the field. The land
slopes from the top of high bill, on
which is the reservoir of the Bridgeport
Water Company. Supposing, when he
first beheld the gush of water, that the
reservoir was leaking, farmer Henderson
ran to Bridgeport and notified his land
lord, who is superintendent of the water
company. The latter. when he learned
that "a big spring of water was flowing
in the wheat field" did not feel the least
concerned about the water company's
property. but he cid become alarmed for
the safety OF the Nation. Landlord Coats,
who Is now justice of the peace, carried

CUsS THE SMITH CASE AGAIN.
Protest Against the General As
sembIy's Declaration on the TheO-
logical Seminary Question.

SARATOGA, N. ", May 26.-The Presby-
terian General Assembly was occupied with
miscellaneous business for the first half
hour of its opening session to-day. The
report from the joint COMMITTEES on home
and foreign missions upon the proposed new
mission house in New York was presented
and it's recommendations adopted after
brief proteSt by Elder McDougall, of Gin
cinnati.
y The Rev. Dr. Hills, of Evanston, ILL.,,
entered protest against the action of the
General Assembly the subject of theo-
logical seminaries on behalf of himself and
about thirty others. The protest was based
upon the assemblys declaration in 1929 that
such control is not within the rightful jur-
isdiction. and on action in 1870 declaring
1t impracticable and undesirable. 1t was
further opposed because the proper place
for it is in the presbytery and because it
would reflect upon any seminary that re-
fuses to comply with the proposals of COM
plete control over professors and directors.
The objection was also urged that consti-
tutional change should precede the aclui-
sition of the power now proposed. The
paper contained forty names and others
were added during the session.
The assembly then listened to an address
by DR.. Peter Stryker, representing the
Reformed church and congra tulatory mes
terian General Assembly, in session at
Albany. Ore.
Soon after 10 o. clock the assembly took
uD the calling of the roll for the express
sion of individual opinion upon the Smith
case, beginning with the synod, of Indiana.
Before adjournment seventy-one speeches
on the case had been delivered, two of
them of uncertain tenor, twenty-five in
favor of sustaining the appeal in whole
or in part and forty-saven opposed to Such
action The desire of the assembly to hasten
this order was evinced just before recess
the afternoon and to begin a half hour ear
lier than usual.
