BAPTIST COUNCIL FINDINGS.
The Session Presents Recommends
tons to the Church.

tlOub W IAe VuuICu.
The Baptist church ex-parte coun'
Gil adjourned late last night after for
mulating its findings OIL the difficult
ties Of the local organization. The
council was called by the four men,
bers recently excluded from the Abb
lenc church,. D. Toliver and wife,
Mrs. J. $. Shively and Geo. Kirk-to
investigate their exclusion and 10
Justify it II possible.
The following members composed
the council: Topeka-Rcv. j. b.
Thomas, Rev. A. F. Barker; Lawrence
Rev. &. D. Rogers; Ottawa--Rev
X. Atkinson; Manhattan-Rev. u. S.
Riley, Rev. |. D. Newell. 4. N. Wes-
colt; Wamcgo-Rev. A. Coifey; Clay
Center-Rev. j. B. futile; Junction
City-Rev. G. J. Coulter, NJ. +. Clark;
Solomon-E G. Durham. W. v.
Smart; Minneapolis = Rev. W. G..
Carey, A. r. Bodley, Moses Bush;
Marion--H. S. Martin, W. V. Church.
Rev. j. b. futile was chosen pres
idcnt; Rev. G. D. Rogers, secretary.
The council was in session all the
afternoon and evening and about 9
o'clock adjourned after formulating
its findings, having listened to much
evidence OF one kind and another
submitted by the members calling 1t.
The council decided that the ex-
cluded members were justified in
their actions and in cilling a council.
II held that the excluded members
were not blamablc in circulating ru-
mors, etc. Regarding the exclusion
the council said:
That the method OF the church in
the exclusion OF Deacon Tolivcr and
the others was hasty and in q scrip
tural sense there was no labor per-
formed to return them to fellowship.
1t Is un-Christian and un-Baptistic to
present charges against brother and
10 exclude him ut the same meeting
without sufficient opportunity Of de-
tense.
We recommend that these excluded
members stand uncondemned before
the churches and that they be re-
ceiyed into the fellowship Of any Bap-
fist church to which they may apply
for membership pending the settle
ment Of matters in the Abilene
church.
The council recommended q thor
ough investigation Of all charges
made The next step in the proceed
ings will probably be demand for a
mutual council OF both factions in
volved in the controversy and II this
Is not secured 1t is expected that the
matter will come up before theannual
association Of Baptist churches.
We are informed, however, that the
Baptist church Of this city has with
drawn from the association and hence
Is not amenable to Its action. Thus
there seems little hope Of a definite
result at present.

The Attorney-Gcnoral of the United
States has ordered the Supreme Court OF
the United states to advance and give
an early decision in the celebrated PEN
sion case Of Judge Long. He thus states
the position the Government viii take in
respect to its right to stop payment OF a
pension.
There are. as we have seen, very
strong reasons for holding that where
title has passed or the rights of inno-
cent third persons have supervened, or
there has been a very great lapse OF
time without question. the decisions OF
the head of an executive department
should be considered as beyond the power
Of his successors 20 disturb
"Thc reasons are quite strong also Why
nc IN transactions wholly ended where
credit has been given or money pau
over. there should be no recognized rlsht
of review save for fraud or manifest IL
legality. But where the matter Is one
that involves future recurring payments
Of money there seems no good reason why
succeeding incumbents of the ONCE
charged with present responsibility,
should be concluded by the decisions OF
,hrfr predecessors. They should not
lightly override their predecessors, put
when satisfied and convinced that error
has been committed and that there is
no legal warrant for the payment de-
manded it would seem TO be their duty
as well as their right, to rectliy the
error The recognition Of the power Hl
such cases involves no destruction OF
vested rights. no impairment of the oph-
cations Of contracts. and 40 ahridsmeht
of the equities of third persons.
These are perfectly sound reasons why
an executive officer should cease course
of action adopted by a previous incum-
bent Of his Office when that action was
not warranted by law. But II the Al
torney-General means TO concede, as
would seem to be the case in this eN-
tract. that any case can occur in which
| the Government would be estopped TO
| deny its obligation, merely because an
executive officer had overstepped the
, boundaries Of his authority and others
| have innocently acted upon the suppo-
sition that he had the authority which
| he exercised. We must differ in opinion
with him. Those who deal with Govern
ment officers do so at their peril. They
| must know the boundaries OF the author-
| ity of the officers and they can set up
no claims against the Government
based upon the plea that the officer
| thought he had the authority, and mat
they also thought he had it. He must act
ually have it to bind the Government.
What the Attorney-General advances
is GOOD as an argument why the Govern
,nent should not assert rights which the
! law gives it. but 1t has no bearing upon
what the rights of the Government ac-
tually are. 1t is therefore out Of place
| in his present motion. He is In court
now whose province is to entertain what
| the law is and not what the law ought
| 70 be. The Court can listen to no plea
of hardship and injustice. If,it finds that
| the officer awarding pension to Judge
| Long had no authority to award IT. 1t
must say so. and leave the cure of Ills
that flow from the announcement 10

men must accept 1t as it is written

THE FALL IN VALVE OF OUR EX-
rOiI>.

The comparative statement which the
Secretary of Agriculture has isseed In re-
gard TO our expectations for the present
and past few years. Is one OF SURPRISING
interest and importance to the people OF
the United States. our expectations OF
agricultural products are not less IN guam
tity than they have been. but they are
enormously less In money value. mus
the expectations OF agricultural products
for the fiscal year 1885 were worth W.
oocO less than the average Tor the pre-
cedlng six years. though the bulk was as
great as in any OF the six, ana the export
values of wheat. flour. and cotton for the
fiscal year 1896 were only $500 100000. while
AZ the prices of 1882 had prevailed they
would have been si500oo,00o These are
facts of the very greatest Importance to
the people of the United States. The
tonuIist and free coiner will say this
fan i'm values is due TO the dcmonotization
q silver, but these gentlemen, when con-
skiering the facts stated, must also con-
sit,ar the additional fact that tobacco
wool cotton cloths coal, animals, agrlcui-
t,A-al implements, leather and furs have
hdd their own They will find II quite
difficult to account satisfactorily Tor the
decentralization OF silver pulling down
tlN values of the articles that have fal-
len while Il has left the articles named
at q stand-still. But cotton VIII prove
tho most puzzling problem of all to them
Cotton within the past six months has
almost doubled in value. Why has 1t
gone up SO amazingly In price # the de-
morktization of silver was causing so
mark things TO fall? We should like for
SONG free coiner TO account for tais.
We cannot do it upon his theories. We
can do il most satisfactorily upon the
Theory that the price of everything de-
pent upon the demand for it and the
supply of It, because 1t Is known now
that the present cotton crop is little more
than half a crop. ana. that being so, upon
the theory of supply and demand the
price of cotton should be nearly double.
We are compelled. therefore, to wholly
discard the .ree co!ners idea and TO be-
leve that a very great supply of tho
agricultural products rhat have fallen mas
prodaced that fall. and that a very short
supply OF cotton has caused II 10 adj
vance enormously IN price.
An this populism and free silver reason
ing can therefore be put aside as OF no
consequence. But the serious fact con-
fronts this country, that IL no longer has
that monopoly of furnishing the world
food gSoducts which II 50 long enjoyed.
South America. Africa. Australia New
Zealand. and other regions are coming
ifHo competition with Us and making
deep cuts into our products. We must
repeal all protective duties so that we
can trace ca even terms with the whole
world, ~ our prosperity will begin to
decline.
