Briggs, are approved divines, and its
directors are all members of the Pres

of this argument was weakened by last

the church.
1t is noteworthy, as general obser-

Protestant churches as a sroup just
now are uncommonly free from the dis
position to pursue theologians for diff

WattersOn on the War-Path.

Those who talked with Henry Wat
terson during his visit to Scranton last
winter will doubtless recall the empha-
sis with which the distinguished Ken
lucky journalist and orator approved
President Clevcland's Venezuelan mes
sage-not. as he said, that he pretended
to know very much concerning the i'm
mediate points at issue down in Nene-
zuela, but because. as a general propo-
siton. some such robust sounding of the
Yankee tocsin was needed to awaken
contemptuous and Indifferent Euro
peans to the fact that the United States
is country which merits respectful
consideration.
In the meantime. Colonel Watterson.

Europe and has begun to write charac-
teristic letters back to the Courier
Journal. These letters are chock full
Of exultant spreadeagleism. They
would scarcely do for perusal at an in
ternational arbitration convention. But
they at all events are decidedly pictur
esque and interesting, which ought to
warrant us in making u quotation.
Writing from Paris on April 30--just
what inspired the outburst does not ap-
pear--he observes:

There is much more in the same key,

1t Is sufficient to establish the fact by
his own testimony that the gallant and
chivalric Kentuckian is happy; that
the glorious emblem of liberty is not
