editorial we stated that the NEWS has criticised the free silver movement be- cause the NEWS believes that free sill yer" is scheme or combination liable to defraud or oppress the public.
 Our correspondents statement in re- gard to the number of Bryan men in town is certainly surprise to us, and we think it will also be surprise to our readers; however, election day will determine whether or no our correspon- dents statement is correct. But if Nc Kinley be scarcely saved, where will Palmer and Buckner appear2
 With regard to the fifty-cent dollar. The statement that ''no holder of bullion would be simple enough to part with his silver for 53 cents when he could get dollar for it" was alluded to in the article published in the NEWS of Aug. 27 under the caption "The Awful Crime of '73 Calls For the Free and Unlimited Coinage of Pig Iron" Our correspondent is respectfully referred to said article for an explosion of his theory.
 Our correspondent throws some light on the term anarchist" We think all should be careful about applying that term to public men. With regard to the change of financial basis, and legislation to benefit the West and South. It would take too much space to argue those questions in the NEWS. but it seems to us that the Western silver mine owners, the Vest ern wool raisers, and the Southern sugar raisers have already been pretty we'll fed at the public crib.
 We are perfectly willing to accept our correspondents statement that "Bryan democrats do not consider themselves anarchists. /" but his idea of the kind of financial legislation that is needed does not harmonize with our views.
 Our correspondents statement in re- gard to newspapers shows that the eastern north is pretty solid for honesi money, notwithstanding there are so many Bryan men in Canaan.
 Our correspondent has perfect right to ask questions in response to the query "whether we had not better elect statesman than boy orator." Il would hardly be fair for us to answer him under these circumstances.
 It is not the object of the NEWS tt ''enter into erhaustire arguments of the silver question" but we now repea what we stated in our editorial publish ed Aug. 27, viz, "We wish it distinctly understood that any free silver article of genuine merit and reasonable length i not prohibited from the NEWS columns. The nature of the foregoing letter i such that we feel called upon to repl, to it ourself, but should any more silveI articles be contributed to the NEWS VI shall prefer to have someone else repl, to them because we wish to give all chance to be heard, and we do no think the editor should answer all tn questions or use too much space to ex
 press his personal views.-EDIToR Or

 How Saloon Was Dried Up.
 Dr. G. A. Blair, pastor of the First En- deavor church of Portland, Ore, made an enthusiastic address, He said he had crossed nine states and travelled 5000 miles to reach Birmingham. At home they are just as near the heather Gapan) as they are to Birmingham. The cream of the people of the west are in Portland and the cream of the Portland people are in the Cumberland Presbyterion church. He had found number of people in Bir- mingham who had friends and relatives in Portland. He began his work in Port land over a saloon, and soon they had dr-dried up the saloon. His church was out of debt There were few members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church in that section, but they were increasing. His synod was composed of Oregon and Washington. You boast that you know no north, no east, no west, no south-I sometimes think that you know no west. He had been in 5000 homes and in 2000 preacher had never entered. His church numbered 150 and they were as good look ing as members of the general assembly.

TOUGH ON TUSCALOOSA.
Decision of the Supreme Court Disturbs the Title to Large Amount of
 Property.

Montgomery, May 25.-(Special)-The supreme court few days ago rendered decision which affects the title to large amount of valuable property in the city of Tuskaloosa. The property in dispute formerly belonged to Mrs. J. B. Read, but has passed through several hands since she was possessed of it, and has been sub- divided into town lots, on which a num- Der of beautiful modern houses have been built. Mrs. Read sold the property some years before her death. The purchasers believing their titles to be good improved it and have remained in peaceable posses sion until short while ago, when some Childreth heirs entered suit for all of the property conveyed by Mrs. Read, on the ground that she was possessed of only life interest in it. The circuit court Of Tuskaloosa confirmed their claim and the supreme court last week confirmed the decision of the circuit court. Messrs. Syd Leach H. Rosenau and H. Pope are among those who will lose their resi- dences bv the decision.

Al NIGHT.


 Moderator Hawkins called the session to order, and Rev. Mr. Francis opened the exercises with prayer The song, stand Up for Jesus," was sung. Rev. MT. Galloway led in prayer
 Report No. 8, committee on judiciary, was called for. The report was read. Re publican Valley presbytery, so the report read, asked for rotation in office of the elder. The committee recommended no change. The moderator called Rev. H. c. Bird to the chair. Dr. D. M. Harris said the question of rotation in office of the elder was very important. It is defect in the government of our church that the ruling elder Is permanent. Pres byteria nism is the mother of representa- tive governments in the world. The more rigidly we adhere to this fundamental principle the safer we will be. All civil governments are gravitating toward the Presbyterian system of government. This struggle has been going on in the presby- tery at Cleveland. It introduced lay rep resentation, putting lay delegates on a level with the ministry. Representatives of the church ought to be elected by the people, Wherever a ruling elder has held office fifteen years he doesn't represent one man in five, and for forty years not one in twenty-congregation change. These members have had no voice in the selection of their officer. Such custom is un-Presbyterian. Our country elects it's representatives for limited time. In our church we elect them for life. The result

churchs practice and require a constitu- tional amendment.
 Rev. H. c. Bird said that the plan asked for had been pursued by the Northern Presbyterian church for years and was successful. Rev. J. R. Henry also favored the plan. Rev. H. A. Jones was against limitation of the powers of the assembly.
 Dr. D. M. Harris favored the proposed change, which would free the assembly from the consideration of annoying ques- tionS of no importance, raised by conten- tious individuals and carried from court to court The synods jurisdiction should be final in small affairs.
 Judge Nathan Green said that the plan was not specific enough in it's statements as to what cases should go to the assem- ply and what should not.
 Dr. Harris repeated the statement of Rev. H. c. Bird that the proposed change was given in the exact language of the Presbyterian (not Cumberland) law upon the subject.
 Rev. G. N. Wall feared that in some cases injustice might be done by an ill-. informed or prejudiced synod.
 Rev. B. L. B. Mcclellan moved the adoption of the Pittsburg presbytery's memorial instead of the judiciary com mittee's report adverse to it.
 The Bible Cause.
 Pending consideration of the motion,
 
 of the representative of the American Bible society Rev. Alex Mclean of New York. He appealed to the whole denomi- nation for aid in the work of the society, which covers the whole of America. Last year the society circulated S00,000 Bibles. They had received a letter from an inmate of lunatic asylum calling for their finest Bible free of charge. There were many others, Dr. Mclean said, who seemed to think that the society could carry on it's work without money. He re- quested that more churches take offer ings for the cause he represented, "the total contributions of our denomination for the past year being only $40"
 More Memorials.
 The memorial of Lebanon presbytery asking that the assembly rescind a former action fixing the salary of the sec retary of the boards of educa tion and ministerial relief was read and referred to the committee on finance
 Report No. of the judiciary committee dealt with the memorial of Republican Valley presbytery, asking that rotation Tn the eldership be provided for, and that any member over the age of 21 be eligible to the office. The report recommended no change.
 After some discussion the point was raised that the special order for p. m. having been disposed of, the matter of the memorial from Pittsburg presbytery again had the right of way. That matter was laid on the table, and consideration of report No. resumed.
 The hour fixed for adjournment 530) having arrived, the assembly took recess until D. m. Benedfction by Rev. Dr. R. V. Foster.
