Meriden, Oct, 2S,-One Of the most im-
portant pieces of business transacted
at the second days session Of the Uni
versaHst convention was the adoption
of a new profession of faith to supplant
the Winchester confession, and which
will come up for final adoption at the
next convention. After a long and
heated discussion the following new
creed was adopted.
Article I've believe in the Univer-
sal Fatherhood of God and in the Uni
versal Brotherhood Of Man.
Article I've believe that God, who
hath spoken through His Holy Prophets
sSnce the world began, hath spoken
unto us and by His Son, Jesus Christ,
our Example and Savior,
Article 3--We believe that salvation
consists in spiritual oneness Of God,
who through Christ will gather in one
the whole family of mankind.
Revision had for one of its chief spon-
sors the Rev. DR., Sweeter of Philadel-
phla, who maintained that the old VIM
GuGSl6I NIeGu COIIllltitd uOClElllG ina l
Universalists could not uphold. One of
the clauses to which DR.. Sweeter took
exception was the one which treated
holiness and happiness as inseparable.
He claimed that a person may be happy
and yet not holy, citing Christ as an
example in that the Savior was at all
times holy, but not at all times happy.
Intense interest was displayed through
out the discussion. Many OF the noted
Universalst divines present participat-
ed in the discussion and eloquent ar
guments were made pro and con.
This afternoon the heresy committee
considered the case of the Rev. A. N.
Alcott of Elgin, ILL.,, who is under sus-
pension until January /, 1896, because

| to the convention refuse to talk on the
matter, but it is generally believed that
| nothing will be done at the convention
| except, possibly, to endow with full
power, a committee Of investigation.
DR.. Blanchard, who has championed
the accused clergyman, this afternoon
laid before the committee of investi-
cation all the facts in his possession
As yet the committee has taken nc
| action, but it viii report to the con-
vention tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock

noon that the facts showed no case

WHY IS 1T?
The State Begging for Money to Pay.
Interest.

Comptroller Harris has sent out the
following startling letter: State of
Tennessee, Comptroller of the Treas
ury. James A. Harris, Nashville.
December 20, 1895. County Trustees,
Gentlemen:
Heretofore the State has been able to
pay her obligations through your assist
ance, and through the assistance of
some large individual tax payers such
as railroads. We are unable this year
to collect any revenue from railroad
companies on account of the litiga-
ton begun by the board of examiners.
We have in the treasury nearly $780,
600, but part of that is a special fund,
which can not be appropriated for
anything but p%enitentiary purposes.
AS you are aware the legislature re.
duced the tax rate $751; per cent, abol-
ished about 33t per cent. of the priv.
leges and reduced all the remainder
about 40 per cent. of the former rates.
In addition to this the expenses of the
last Legislature were between $3.50, 900
and S400, 900 more than heretofore and
more than would have been appropri
ated had the same condition of affairs
existed rs formerly.
My hope was to use that surnlus
money in reducing our bonded debt.
was heartily in favor of reducing all
taxes because | believed that we col
lect ample revenue after so doing, but
the increased appropriations make it
exceedingly difficult for us to meet our
obligation promptly on the first day of
the year.
shall, therefore, again call on YOU
to help the State out. | will ask Won
to kindly send me in time to reach the
office on the morning of the 2lst of
December all the State revenue YOU
have collected up to aud including the
Goth of December.
You are not compelled to do this.
but feel sure that you will help the
State out, because unless you do we
will default in the payment of our in.
terest, which will cast a financial pail
over this States securities for another
decade.
1t is needless for me to say that O
could not do me a greater favor, either
officially or personally, than to COM
ply with the above request.
PlpDGp inAipntp hv ratnrn mail -. Al.
enclosed postal how much | can ex-
pect to receive from you on the 2lst of
December. Very sincerely,
JAS. A. HARRIS,
Comptroller of the Treasury.

WHAT OUR EXCHANGES SAY.

Hereafter S. A. Bowel will have edi-
torial control of the Jonesboro Herald
and Tribune. He is one of the best
writers in the State and will make the
editorial columns of the paper very in.
teresting to its patrons while he has
control Tomahawk.
When our old friend, "Steve" Bo-
uell, opens the Congressional campaign
he is going to make it hot for some
one. He is doing the editorial work on
the Herald and Tribune and is doing
it with that old time lick that will
make it interesting for the little fellows
who get in range of his guns.-Comet.
Steve A. Bowel, an able and expert.
enced journalist, has assumed editorial
control of the Jonesboro Herald and

Morristown Republican.
Stephen A. Bowel, in a characteristic
cally chaste and graceful statutory in
the Jonesboro Herald and Tribune OF
December 8, that he has as.
sumed the editorial control of that pa
per. We welcome, cordially, the re-
turn of Mr.. Bowel to the editorial table
from which for so long a while he ha.
been a voluntary exile. There is nc
more born journalist nor scholarly and
terse and logical political or literary
writer connected with weekly Tennes
see journalism than Stephen A. Bowel,
and it will not be his fault if he is moi
always courteous and respectful in bis
disputations with contemporaries OF
the press. We repeat we welcome his
return to the editorial tripod and hope
it may last throughout a long and use
full life. -Motristown Democrat.

REMINISCENT

On the 10th of December, 1895, Hon.
John Slack, of Bristol, the veteran
newspaperist and Familiarity known
among the fraternity as the Old Man,
entered the sixties. My! how time does
fly! The years that write the wrinkles
in our faces and sift the snow upon
our heads are swifter than the weaver's
shuttle.
The editor of the Herald and Tribune,
then a mere lad with a consuming de-
sire to see his name and gushing eff
fusions in print, and some time before
the only original Charlie, son of his
father, vas discovered, first made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Slack when he
edited and published that clean and
sprightly sheet-The Jonesboro Ex-
press. He had just graduated under
that prince of Wing journalism, Sam
P. Twins, of the Athens Post, and was
thoroughly imbued with the fiery zeal
and enthusiasm of that famous wizard
of the pen. We liked him all the bet
ter for that.
A trip to Jo~nesboro was not at all
satisfactory without q visit to and a
long stay in the Express office.
A shy country STRIPPING, green as a
gourd and awkard as a gander we were
always greeted with a hearty welcome
to the sanctum, whilst the big, honest
face of its presiding genius beamed
upon us radiantly as a cloudless morn
in rosy June. Our love has always
followed John Slack.
The brightness and benignity in his
face are there-only brighter and deeper
at sixty-because he has been as good,
kind and courtly to other lads as he
was to us. This is the reason he num-
bers his friends by the legion.
The Old Man is not old; he can't get
old, there is SC much lightness, cheer
goodwill, and b~ouyancy in his makeup.
These make him an entertaining, in
teresting, handsome, man. Like Ap,
polio, he is doomed to perpetual youth.

CHERR w.

The religious revival which had been
in progress for three weeks at RUBBISH,
closed on the 9Th; quite a number pro
fessed faith in Christ and seven united
with the Limestone Baptist Church
the others will probably unite with
different branches of the church. We
firmly believe that the meeting has
done much good and Brothers Hunt and
Oaty have won the esteem of all
the people of this section for their
liberal views and the interest they
manifested in our people. The sudden
demise Of John Ferguson was some.
what shock to this section. James
Robinson and daughters, of Little Doe,
whom we mentioned in u last com.
m~unlcation, have returned to their

Cedar Creek, Greene County, returned
to his field of practice the 10th. Died of
d%iphtherla and mem branous Group, the
9th, Arthur Ferguson, son of r. A.
Ferguson. Arthur was a noble hearted
young man, always conducted himself
right and was held in high esteem by
all who had the pleasure of being as,
ISOLATED with him. When told by his
attending physician that he was fast
sinking and would soon cross the
river, it did not excite him one particle:
he looked at the Doctor anu said, |
want TO go to heaven. | feel sure that
he is at rest in the heaven of eternal
bliss. To the parents, brothers and
sisters of Arthur, let me entreat YOU to
grieve not for him, for your loss is his
eternal gain. We tender to the be
reaved our deepest sympathies. Ar.
thurs remains were inferred at Fair

THE DIFFERENCE.

Figures are never guilty of the helm
BUSINESS of falsehood. Mathematics is
30 perfect a science that they can not
be warped or twisted into a misrepre-
s~entation. 1t is this staunch fidelity of
the numerals that has brought upon
the Democratic party most oil its woes
and calamities.
Under Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
tion in the year 1894 the receipts fell
short of the expenditures sixty nine
millions. For the first five months of
the present fiscal year the deficit was
eighteen millions. Since June 80, 1894,
the deficiency amounts to one hundred
and thirty n millions. Since the in.
auguration of President Cleveland,
March A, 1894, the bonded indebted
ness of the Nation has increased one
hundred and sixty two millions, and
another bond issue right on hands.
These deficits and increase of bonded
indebtedness are the direct result of the
Democratic threat to destroy Protec-
ton and the execution of the threat in
the enactment of the Wilson-G German
law.
Under President Harrison with a
protective tariff from 1890 to 1898 the
receipts exceeded the expenditures one
billion and three hundred and ten
millions, and during that time the
country enjoyed a prosperity never
equaled in its history.
In that boundless and dismal con.
tiguity of rhetorical attenuations
which the President recently delivered,
he found no fitting place for q refer.
ence to this leading feature of the fin.
ancial history "he has been making,
but perhaps when he has leisure to at,
tend to public affairs" he will send in
a special message on the subject.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
A Manly, Patriotic stand for the
Principles Of the MONROE DnctIirs.

AT last Grover Cleveland has risen
above the narrow confines of "A petti.
logging partisan and Mt one leap has
reached the high plane of patriotism.
IL makes no difference to the American
people what the politics of the occupant
OF the White House may be when the
nation Is iacinga crisis, 1t is only i'm.
portant that the President shall be
representative of all the people in their
views. and aboveall else broad minded.
liberal. patriotic, and an American
through and through.
President Cleveland s message voices
the sentiment of the people. 1t is an
able State paper. His ANALYSIS of the
Monroe doctrine is 50 clear that "A child
may understand it. His maintenance
of the rights OF America is firm, digpi.
ned and manly. 1t is of little import-
ance that some people can see in it
only a bid for a third term. Political
considerations may or may not have
actuated the President. He has risen
to the dignity of his great office and
has so b%ravely faced the issue that
much may be forgiven him.
The message will be read and its
sentiments re echoed by everv man in
the United States, When the President
of the United States acts for all the
people in a grave emergency, when he
drops the cloak Of partisan, he should
have and will have the unfaltering
support of every one who value II
try above party.
IT. a pleasure for The Morning ADJ
v%ertiser to be able to agree with Presi.
dent Cleveland, and we heartily con-
graduate him upon his manly Ameri.
can utterance which is today the talk
of the civilized world.
1t is good to be an American 1t is
good to have an American President!
1t is good to be in the right! And it is
good to have an Executive who, know
ing the right, dares maintain it! We
are first and above all else Americans
