DEPOSED FROM THE MINISTRY

DEPosED FROM THE MINISTRY
When the Pittsburg, Pa, Presbytery
assembled June 18th, Rev, George H..
Sheldrake, D. D., was summoned for
trial. He did not appear, but sent a
long letter explaining his case. He
admitted living with his housekeeper,
but said he had entered into contract
to marry her as soon as he could get a
divorce from his wife. who is now
working on a Chicago paper. He
thought that under the circumsti noes
his wrongs had been excused. The
Presbytery, however, took this as
confession, and deposed him from the
ministry, and excluded him from the
communion of the church. Rev. Geo,
H. She'drake was born in England,
came to this country eighteen years
ago, did missionary work through the
South. and has occupied prominent
pulpits in Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincin-
natl and Toledo. He is now living in
Cincinnati.

Development of the South,

The New York Times says
"There is nothing in the history OF
the world to match the wonderful de.
Yelopment of the South since the civil

increase of population and wealth in
the West that are justly the pride OF
the whole nation, the South, it must be
remembered, has almost literally risen
from the grave. The devastation and
exhaustion of the war, the absolute
abolition of the vast property interests
repl esented by the slaves, and the in
evitable prostration Of energies follow
ing the tremendous and unavailing
struggle in the field were something un
precedented in the history of the world.
From this depth the South has risen
until it is to day the most promising
field for honest and intelligent enter.

The complete agricultural returns
for the United Kingdom are now pub
lished, and show for wheat a trifling
increase in the acreage and an increase
of nearly ten million bushels in the
crop, the yield per acre having increas-
ed from a shade over 20 bushels to 80. 7
bushels The increase in barley was
about thirteen million bushels; in oats
twenty two million bushels; and there
were considerable increases in beans
peas. Potatoes fell off heavily, and
turnips slightly and mangolds show a
substantial increase. The increase in
hay, which was SO much of failure in
1898, is very great. The average yield
of hay from clover was thirty five hun
dred weight per acre last year compar-
ed with twenty-three hundred weight
in 1898, and the average yield from
permanent pasture rose from twenty
hundred weight to thirty three hun
dred weight; there was also an increase
in the acreage of hay. Altogether the
harvest of 1894 WIS one of the best ever
gathered, but the prices were low

Whatever the sympathies of Ameri
cans may be as individuals in regard
to the efforts of the Cuban revolution
lists to secure their freedom from Span
ish oppression. the plain duty of the
United States is to protect friendly
government from filihustering expedi-
tions sent from our shores. England
encouraged the fitting out of Confeder-
ate privateers at her ports during the
war between the States, and after the
termination of hostiities was COMPEL
ed to pay a round sum for the damage
inflicted upon American shipping by
the Alabama and other Confederate
privateers. We are equally RESPONSE
BILE to Spain. While we have no
doubt that the reports as to the fill
clustering expeditions organized in
Florida are grossly exaggerated, yet
the administration is to be commended
for taking action, even SO late in the
revolution, and sending cruiser to
prevent further operations of this kind
Oh the American coast. We are at
peace with Spain, and while we may
have no sympathy with that country
in it's efforts to maintain its rule in
Cuba, the laws of international comfy
require that we shall not permit overt
aid to be given by Americans to the
enemies of Spain.-4nde1-Appeot.
