In support of this measure II 10 respectfully urged
that Congress has heretofore enacted legislation ex

in form and in purpose: that 1t has been the un-
varying custom OF Congress to grant some portion
OF land for state university upon the ,nnt
thus granted. when the quantity and value or the
lands considered have been altogether made
quate for the purposes intended; that the aid given
by Congress to education in the institutions re-

the several States vary largely. and have not been
spportoned upon any equitable basis or dlstrlpu,

the public lands OF United States for seminaries
or universities; that this pending bill would turn TO
most important use n small fraction OF the public
domain without expense TO the Federal Government
and that the enactment OF such a law would give
so great n stimulus and efficiency those institu

AN OLIVE BRANCH REJECTED.

Some Of the more extreme men In the conservative
wing have favored the expulsion Of one or both Of
these professors from the Presbyterian ministry
but wiser counsels have prevailed and they are left
In a state OF suspense. Some of the more extreme
In the liberal party have tried TO get Professor
Smith reinstated in the ministry. but this olive
branch has been rejected. So long as Union Sem
mary and the Assembly at odds and Dr. Briggs
retains his chair in that institution 1t is rot prob
abe that there will be much effort made toward
storing him to his former place in the Church. A
great deal Of sympathy has always been expressed
70. Dr. Smith. for 1t was felt when he making
the addresses which led 10 his trial and suspension
that nc defending his friend. Dr. Briggs rather
than coming out az an opponent OF the orthodox
views regarding the Bible.
The complications arising from the Briggs hcresy
trial have troubled the Presbyterian Church for five
years and the end Is yet. At Detroit in 1851 the
General Assembly disapprovsd the election Of Dr.
Briggs professor in Union Seminary In 1872 ct
Portland. Ore. the seminary took steps leading to
the breaking OF the compact which had been In force
between II ard the Assembly FOR n than twenty
years. At Washington in 1896, DR.. Briggs was sus-
pended from the ministry and the Assembly dis
avowed responsibility for the teaching Of Union
Seminary. In 1894. at Saratoga. effort was made
10 bring all of tho senlnaries OF the Church under
direct coa,rol OF tho General Assembly. and making
It impossible for an institution to break loose from
tn. Assembly without forfelting its property
But this is not all. At Pittsburg last year tho
Presbytery Of New-York was enjo!ned not 10 re-
ceive under its care young men studying in Union
Bemirary or proposing to study there. The Assem-
bly, went further than that. and requested Its Com
. mittee on Conference with the Theological Semi
naries to inquire into end report to the next Cen

Certain people become so addicted to

propriate to the occasion. This story is

Charlotte to convey the princess royal to
Germany. The captain WAS mlnutely 10
