Editor Herald-The hints and criticisms
of your paper against the Los Angeles
presby terry in not giving Rev. Mr.. Howard
all the rights as to the introduction of
evidence to prove the motives for and
reasons why he violated fundamental
law of the presbytery, are both unkind to
the presbytery and unjust to yourself,
as a faithful chronicler Of events. Mr..
Howard in his answer and in all he has
SAID VIII lie claiming to be generally sub
missive to the form of government, which
he solemnly vowed to support, contin
uously rebelled against the authority of
tho presbytery on one particular act, and
it was on the particular act he was tried.
Not that he had ever rebelled againt the
entire authority Of the pressbytery, for
he was not charged with that, but that
he had positively denied the authority
of the presbytery in one of its require
ments, that is, its right to divide a
church. lie was not tried for breaking
all the laws of the form of govern ment,
but of breaking one law. He may have
been loyal to ninety. nine laws. but if he
rebslled against one law it mads him
rebel against the form of government.
peen elected for Mr.. Howard on the
ground that all his evidence tending to
prove his motives and reasons for ignor-
ing the demands of the presbytery were
ruled out. In legal sense this was
right. Suppose man is brought before
Judge Shaw for contempt OF court. Is it
any mitigation of his offsnse to prove
that his attorney or somebody else had
told him 10 resist the authority of the
court? Would such evidence have any
effect before the court? All fair m nded
persons will say no. Mr.. Howard adj
mitted In his speech, and in everything
he or his witnesses said, both the au-
shortly and the jurisdiction of the pres
bytery in all they did. Another method
of invoking sympathy for Mr.. Howard
was complaining because he was not per-
mikted to bring his own attorney into the
co1rt TO plead his case. The answer to
this is that the rules ana regulations of
the book of discipline and form of gov
eminent positively forbid any man acting
as attorney for person under charges
who is.not a mem Der of the judicatory.
Mr.. Towards attorney NOS being a men,
Ger of the judicatorv was deparred by
the operation OF this positive law. This
positive prohibition was known, both to
Mr.. Howard and his attorney, before the
presoytery met, and hence all mpathy
on this point is wasted.
Had the presby terial court per lifted
evidence to be introduced with the view
of palliasing the violation of we'll known
and positive law, the appellate court
would have excluded such evidence and
hence it would have done Mr.. Howard no
good. No man ever called forth mora
sympathy from his brethren than Mr..
Howard, and they rendered the verdict
against him in sorrow and tears.

Editor Herald: -"Woman's proper
study in the field of medicine is midwif-
ery." This is quoted from the announce
ment of the Pacific College of Obstetrics,
an institution recently organized in Los
Angeles. This same prospectus tells us
that From the experience OF other cit
les, extending over quite a number of
years, medical schools for women have,
to a certain extent, proved moe or less

of progressive co-educational medical
schools, I will pass this remark unnoticed.
This same pamphlet comedies that
women have the mental capacity to as
sumo as high rank in the medical pro-
fesslon as men, but that her tender and
sympathetic nature is not able to endure
the Etrials and hardships of an active
medical practice. Yet this institution
proposes to educate women in one of the
most arduous, the most responsible, and
the most self-sacrlficing departments in
medicine. What is it that keeps the ply
stefan at the bedside of his patient ali
night? What is it that exposes a doctor
to the inclsmtncies of nightly climate,
but these same obstetrical cases and
small infants?
Under what circumstances are the SYM
pathies of the physician more taxed? In
what other departments in medicine do
We witness so much agony and suffering
as in this? l cannot tell from this little
book whether many worthy men aband-
Oned the profession because they could
not see suffering or because this work
was too exhausting. From this book it
would seem that the practice of mid

could not possibly cause her to eat an

professor OF Obstetrics who will quickly
relieve the patients sufferings and

NOT receive the salary of trained nurse
or the fee of a physician for doing the
work OF both. Our little book says that

interested In the hunt as were the rest OF
u.s.. OF sudden the post trader, who
had been an army officer and was thor
oughly good fellow, discovered the lion
in the thicket. Being determined to
have tho hide, he boldly advanced, gun
animal. He fired number of times,
seemingly without effect, for the lion
did not move. An investigation was
made, and it was found that the supposed
savage lion was simply stuffed figure.
General Miles had caused it to be placed
there and greatly enjoyed seeing the rest
of us exhibit our various degrees of brav-
cry. The joke was on the post trader,
and when we were back at the post he
did the proper thing under the circum-
stances.
During campaign General Miles
sent young and inefficient officer with
two mounted companies to ascertain the
exact location of 1000 Sioux Indians, who
we're supposed to be hunting buffalos in
the neigh borhoud. The officer found the
Indians, but, instead of carrying out the
orders and reporting Immediately to Gen.
eral Miles, made little war on his own
account, and was drawn inGo running
fight. soon surrounded on all sides, he
began to realize that he hau made q m is
take, and sent courier for aid. General
Miles Immediately ordered boots and
saddle TO be sounded. and started to the
rescue. We started on rapid trot but
becoming anxious, urged the general to
order more rapid pace. Said he: If
wear out the horses at first, we cant do
ANYTHING wheE we do arrive. The
horses were kept at trot, with an COCA

Arriving at the scene of action, he de-
ployed the command into three lines.

the Indians scattered far and wide. We
camped half way back to the nam camp,
and General Miles sent for the young
officer and talked to him kindly. but
firmly. and relieved him from the COM

THE NEXT CONGRESS-
POLLED ON THE SILVER QUES-
TION.
Tho New York World Tries to Get an Ex-
preston of sentim mt by Telegraph
But II Small Proportion Speak Out.

New York, June 3.-The World yes
tcrday published a telegraphic poll Of
the next Congress as far as obtained on
the silver, tariff and income tax. The
World sums up the result as follows:
In general way it may be said that
out Of 11G members who gave unequivo-
cal answers to the silver question, fifty
five are in favor of free coinage, forty
four favor bimetallism generally, with
the proviso of an international agree
ment. Only seventeen can be fairly
classed as favoring n single gold stand
ard, and the attitude Of some Of these,
even, Is not definite. The South and
Far Western states are almost unan-
imous for free coinage, the Central
states lean toward silver with interna-
tional bimetallic qualifications, and 1t Is
only in New York, New England and
adjacent Eastern states that there are
any avowedly gold standard men.
In regard to the tariff only twenty
eight members are against any change
while thirty-tive favor moderate changes
and thrty-eight are pronounced for
radical changes. A few are free traders
The moderates are chiefly those who
think changes will be necessary in or
der to increase revenues.
The income tax question brought out
many sharp and piquant answers. For
ty-nine congressman say they favor the
principle of the tax. Forty seven op-
post it. A great many evaded the Qucs
ton, or failed to answer it.
A few details by states will be inter
esting. Alabama, Arkansas. California
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi,
Montana, Nevada, North Carolina
South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia.
Washington and Wyoming are solid for
silver, so far as heard from. The bi-
mctallists are chiefly in Delaware
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Louisiana, Michigan. Minnesota,
Missouri. Nebraska, Ohio. Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia.
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Rhode Island. Massachusetts and Yer
mont have the gold delegates. Ala
bama, Arkansas. Texas, the Carolinas.
Georgia. Louisiana and most of the
other Southern states are solid for the
income tax. New York and the East
generally oppose it. Elsewhere the ui-
vision is nearly even.

Chr'stiAn Endsavorers at Sallda.

Salida, Colo, June 1.-The seventh
annual convention Of the Colorado
Christian Endeavor society opened at
the opera house last night. The opera
house was elaborately and tastefully
decorated with the colors of the state

opened by prayer by Rev. Paddock of
Denver, which was followed by song
service by the chorus. w. Il. Sweet of
Denver was chosen secretary. The reg
ular committees were appointed. About
300 delegates were in attendance.
President Barker of Colorado Springs
introduced Rev. A. G. Evans of Salida,
who delivered the address of welcome.
Rev. Leonard G. Thompson responded
briefly.
Rev. r.. L. Morrill, Of Denver then oc-
cupied the platform for about an hour
with an eloquent and sOul-stirring ad-
dress. He held his hearers spellbound,
and his remarks were filled with humor-
Gus anecdotes that gave spirit to the
discourse. This concluded the Friday
evening programme.

ILLINOIS SILVER MEN.
Predictions a- to the Action of the Com
Ing Convention.

Springfield. H.. June 3.-Speculation
is considerably divided rs to whether or
not there will be large attendance n
the Democratic silver convention which
meets here on Wednesday. Secretary
Henrichson, who has the arrangements
in charge. says it will be the greatest
political gathering ever held In the state
He estimates the attendance of dele
gates and spectators at 1900. and says
it may 20 higher than that. Robert f..
Burke. secretary OF the Cook county
committee, telegraphs that Chicago will
send at least 1000 people to the conven-
tion.
Very few of the oldtime leaders of the
state Democracy will attend the con.
vention. Vice President Stevenson, Sen
ator Palmer, Colonel W. II. Morrison.
eX- Congressman Springer, National
Committeeman Ben T. Gable and Gen
cral John c. Black will be conspicuous
ing with the silver crowd. f. =. Hun
ter Of Paris Is one OF the old-timers
who will be present. Hunter has al
ways been silver man. He is one OF
the few advocates Of free coinage who
seems to think that Its adoption by this
country would send us to n silver basis.
Ben Gable wall stay at home, but his
county will send a strong delegation fo-
honest money.
1t is practically decided, 1t is now re-
ported. that the convention will formal
ly indorse David B. Hill of New York
for the presidential nomination on the
Free Silver National ticket, with probab-
ly Ex-Governor Boes Of Iowa in second
place. or course. II Mr.. Stevenson
should open his mouth and utter n all
ver-tongued blast, even at this late day.
the Chicago free silver patriots might
accept him, but they do not look for
such an utterancc. They say he is be-
ing held back by his relatives, the Ew-
ings. all of whom are pronounced anti
silver men. 1t is. therefore, probable
that If an attempt is made to indorse Mr..
Stevenson, the Cook county delegation
will kick over the traces.

paper by Frederick L. Siddons OF Wash.
ington upon the municipal condition OF
that city. He declared the government
of the District of Columbia by Congress
was far from being satisfactory.
"Good City Government From Wom-
ans Standpoint" was the subject Of an
address by Mrs. Runkle Of New York.
She showed in a convincing way that
municipal evils strike directly at the
home, and that therefore women feel
them the most severely.
Rev. J. u. Tyler of this city read
paper on "The Work Of the Christian
Endeavor Societies in Behalf of Good
City Government" by John Willis Baer,
secretary of the United Societies of
Christian Endeavor, who was unable to
be present.
The convention then ended after n
short speech by President Carter, in
which he congratulated all who had at
tended upon the beneficial nature Of the
proceedings. The place Of the next an
nual meeting will be selected by the ex

of Municipal AntIrs.

Cleveland. o.. June 1.-The mornings
session of the National Municipal league
to-day was marked by a somewhat
smaller attendance, the reason being no
doubt that the warm weather prevented
many spectators from participating in
the sessions. The first paper of the
morning was that Of Charles Richard
son, the first vice president of the
league His subject was: "Municipal
Government by National Parties"
Prof Albion W. Small Of the Univcr-
sity of Chicago, read paper on "The
Civic Federation of Chicago" Professor
Small dwclt at length upon the organiza-
ton and history of civic federation in his
city and stated that civic conscientious
ness began at Chicago with mass
meeting held in 1893. by William r.
Stead of London. The federation was
comprehensive rather. than factiOnal. II
did not assume that school teachers are
the best people to draft revenue laws
nor that ministers are likely to be com
petent inspectors of sanitary conditions:
nor that politicians will do good service
in regulating educational and religious
enterprises.
Rev. Donald Mac1.aurin, ID. D., of
Detroit, Michigan, read n very interest
ing paper on the municipal conditions ex-
listing in that city He concluded by
asking If the league conference could
suggest radical and humane treatment
for dealing with the social evils In
cities. The general conclusion which
was reached after the presentation Of
testimony from all sections was thai
the chief source of city misgovernmcnt
Is intrusion of national party organiza-
tons into the domain Of city politics. All
were agreed that this influence should
be banishcd.
Rev. Gregory J. Powell Of Omaha de-
clared in the noon discussion that the
solution of the municipal problem will
never be reached until the evil resulting
from the performance Of city duties by
corporations is corrected.
Mr.. l.. II. Holden of Cleveland con-
tended for minority reports as n great
aid, and reports Of the benefits to be de.
rived from that system were made by
