Judge Campbell of Cambridge, seems
to be getting there for Circuit Judge,
if an active canvass of the district means
anything. To get anything in politics
these days takes hustling, and Judge
Cambell seems to understand the bust
ness of seeing the people and making
his wants known. His chances seem to
be rapidly improving.

1t is now about eighteen months since
large number of voters took temporary
leave of their senses, and put the Demo

their senses, and to keep them there for a
generation or so. Oh for another Presi-

There is likely to be sufficient politics
in this vicinity from June 2 to IL to suit
the most ardent Republican. The Con-
gIessional and County PRIMARIES will be
held June 2, the State Convention on the
9Th and 9th, the County Convention on
the 9th, and the Congressional Conven-
ton on the 18th. 1t comes all at once,
but then it is but wise while in the bust
ness to complete the whole job.

PENCIL POINTERS.

The Sixth General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church (North) meets this
week at Saratoga, n. Y. The body is
notable, representing as it does, nearly
10000 Church members. The Briggs
case is to come before the Assembly again
in all its branches. 1t is thought by
many Presbyterian journals that
the decision on this point of last year
will be unaltered. The New York OBJ
server says, there is good reason to be-
lieye that a large majority of the Sarato-
ga Assembly will demand that the action
of last year as to Professor Briggs, and
as to the reafirmation on the insprira-
ton of the holy Scripture, remain unal-
tered" Other papers take the same view.
But the liberals on the other hand are
determined to make another struggle.
They are led by DR.. Harvey NJ. Field,
editor of the Evangelist, of New York,
and they think that the deliverance of
the last General Assembly in regard to
the inspiration of the Scriptures and the
condemnation of Briggs are contrary to
the spirit of Presbyterianism, and ought
to be taken back. The indications, how
ever, are that the conservative thought
has strengthened in the past year.

"Hard times is an enemy before
which no political party in America
ever made successful stand in power.
This is, and perhaps always will be,
weak point in popular government.
When labor is out OF employment,
when farm products are low, when
our financial system is disorganized,
the wisest administration of COVER
ment and the most wholesome laws
do not avail to save party from tenn
poly and disastrous overthrow. More
over, the whole teaching Of the protec-
tive system trains men TO depend not
ON individual effort, the plain virtue
of industry, thrift and temperance, fol
business prosperity and material com
fort, but on Government aid and laws
of Congress"
This is undoubtedly true, and it i.
due largely TO the teaching of The
Republican party that it is true
We do not recall panic in thi
country which was not followed by
a reverse to the party in power
however little that party may hav,
