The list of well known Presbyterian

Easter sermon:

We pray that the time may be fastened when
this libel upon Infinite grace Of God shall be

DR.. Parkhurst's forcible and radical
statements will attract more attention
than those of others have done. but half a
dozen prominent Presbyterians have ex-
pressed the same views. and there are
hundreds of other clergymen who. though
not known to the general public, tacitly
hold these opinions. Meanwhile the con-
fession of faith continues to be the out
ward sign of belief of the Presbyterian
Church.
The whole movement is simply one phase

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.
The Party to Leave on Thursday for
Canton.


President and Mrs. Mckinley viii start
on Thursday for their trip to Canton. Al
though their Ohio home town will be their
ultimate destination, en- route they will
visit Paterson, n. j., and New York City.
The travelling will be done in a private
ear. attached to the regular trains, and tie
party will include the President and Mrs.
Mckinley, Mrs. Carrot A. Hobart, Garrett
A. Hobart, jr.. Secretary Cortslyou, Assist
ant Secretary Barnes. DR.. Rixey, Mrs. Nc
kinley's physician, and maid.
The start will be on Thursday morning,
by a PENNSYLVANIA Railway train. Tire
President and Mrs. Mckinley will rema
in Paterson until Saturday, as the guests
OF Mrs. Hobart. Saturday evening they viii
be present al the opening of the Protestant
Congress of Missions, in Carnegie Hall,
New York and the President will probably
make a brief address. Sunday the parry
will leave for Canton. Two or three days
will be spent there in looking over i'm
provements under way at the Mckinley
home. Returning. Washington will lie
reached by the party Thursday or Friday
of next week.
Although it was expected that the Fresi-
dent might take a run down to Old PoiLt
Comfort. where Senator Hanna has been
quartered. that trip has been Cancelled. AS
a consequence the President will not tie
present at the conference. where il was
supposed plans would be laid for the Vice
Presidential campaign. The announcement
yesterday afternoon that Senator Hanna
is on his way to Washington would seem
to preclude the idea that the propose1 con-
ference will he beld.

PORTO RICAN AFFAIRS.

The nomination of Charles Fl. Allen. AS

President There is no doubt that the

he can complete arrangements which will
probably be the last of this week or the
first Of next. He will sail on the despatch

Government. he will enter upon the du-
ties of the gOvernorshp. Immediately
uDon his arrival in Porto Rico he will be-
gin an investigation of the conditions in
the island. with a view of determining
what sort of men will be needed TO fill
the executive and judicial offices. As it
is the policy of the President to Gil as
many CT these new offices as is advisable
with citizens of Porto Rico Mr. Allen will
look about for good mater al among the
natives. He hopes to conclude his invssti
cation in two or three weeks. when he will
return to Washington to make mis- recon-
mendations. According to the present ar
rangement but few. if any. appointments
viii be made until Mr. Aliens return. 1t
is probable that his recommendations will
be followed strictly by Mr.. Mckinley in
making these appointments. as the plan
outlined was suggested by the President
himself.

There are two things which have saved
the Presbyterian Church from going 10

the members are great deal better than
their creed teaches them to be. The other
is that most people do not think it is
proper TO use their common solse in rsa-

that is irreverent. 1t is com .ng TO tie

BRYAN SENTIMENT STRONG
senator Turner on Democratic Pros
poets in the Northwest.


Senator George Turner. of Washington
VINO mas Just returned from visit to his
rome IN spokane and to other parts of
the State. is enthusiastic over the pres
poets for Bryan and Democracy in that
part of the country.
4 regard Mr.. Bryan's nomination as
assured" said Senator Turner yesterday,
land if Washington can be taken as IN
index of the feeling everywhere, his cleo
tion is equally certain. The reception
given him in that State was both sur
prising and absolutely marvellous, and it
is safe to say that he will have an over
whelming majority there
The Senator said that Mr.. Bryan. in
his tour through the State, addressed more
than two-thirds of its male population,
and that everywhere he appeared he vas
given an ovation which seemed TO he an
index of the feeling OF the great majority
of the people
did Mr.. Bryan confine his speeches to
any particular issue?' Senator Turner was
asked
He spoke on three different subjects"
was the reply; money, trusts. and I'M
perialism. and seemed to give no one of
them the preference until he reached the
vicinity of Puget Sound, where there was
said to be a strong sentiment in favor OF
the Philippine policy of President Nc
Kinley. There Colonel Bryan devoted the
greater part of his remarks TO the sub
ject of Imperialism. But when he spoke
no such sentiment appeared to exist, and
the principles advocated by him received
as hearty endorsement in that part of the
State as elsewhere. There is no doubt. in
my mind, that the Democrats will carry
the State at the coming election. and that
they will control the next Legislature.
In reply to a question as to whether
the State of Washington would send dele
gates to the Democratic National Conven-
ton at Kansas City instructed for Bryan,
Senator Turner said that such is the
present intention, and that in all proba-
bility 1t will be carried out.
Has the Dewey Presidential boom
struck the west coast?" was the next
question.
Il think not" was Senator Turner's re-
ply. Mr.. Bryan is the only man whose
name is even mentioned for the Demo-
cratic nomination

The entire strength of the company
ought to be made up and ready fer start
on the Fourth of July. which would be
a most appropriate occasion for such a
movement. 1t would be eminently sug-
Sestive of an event which occurred on the
like date in another year at Philadelphia;
when our forefathers signed their names

Porto Rico exemplifies. we mean oppros-
sion by royal governors and councils ap-
