Whatever may be the case with few,
it is evident that the great majority of
the Italians in this country have no SYM
pathy whatever with the assassination OF
King Humbert, and would be quite ready
to expose the con spirators who took part
in the plot in this country, if there were
any SUCH If they were in possession of
the necessary evidence. AS class, the
Italians who have come to this country
are we'll disposed and peaceable. The
story that the plot was Matched among
some OF them in Paterson, N. j., has
served to excite a prejudice against
all of them which is unjustifed by the
facts.

1t seems to be pretty conclusively
proved that the witness in the Goebel
trial who swore that he saw the shot fired
from the State House window that killed
Goebel was not In Frankfort on the day
of the assassination. Apparently his tes-
timony was rank per jury, stimulated by
the hope of getting part of that big
reward OF 100000 offered by the legisla
ture for the discovery and conviction Of
the assassins. How much more testi-
mony of the same sort has been given for
the same reason time will tell. 1t is
very strange. as the Washington Post
remarks, that so many persons should
now be turning up who knew all abou t
a murder which confessedly was a mys-
terry for weeks.

between the allies and the Chinese about
eleven miles from Tien Tsin, though the
news is not official. Particulars are
wanting, but 1t is rumored that the loss
of the allies was 1900 in killed and
wounded. This indicates that the Chin
ese fought with good deal of vigor, and
affords ground for fearing that the march
to Pekin is going to be bloody one and
not accomplished without great loss of
life. The road is a difficult one at best,
and there are several places where the
Chinese are known to have formidable
Notifications. If they gather behind
them and fight with the same vigOr that
they have apparently fought In the first
engagement, it will be some weeks before
the allies can reach Pekin, If they get
there at all. 1t may be, of course, that
the defeat which seems to have oyertaken
them in their first engagement may so
dispirit the Chinese soldiers that their
future resistance will be comparatively
slight, but as their defeats at Taku and
lien Tsin did not have that effect it can
hardly be regarded as probable that the
latest one viii. Meanwhile, the ambas-
sailors at Pekin are said to be receiving
more considerable treatment, and are for
the time being out of danger. There
will be grave anxiety, however, as to
their fate until they are under the protec-
ton of the allied forces. The news of the
advance will of course reach Pekin long
before the allies are within striking dis
tance of the city, and there is danger
that it may excite the pepulace to frenzy
and cause another attack upon the am
bassadors. Doubtless the government
which is now thoroughly alarmed at the
threats Of foreign vengeance viii do what
it can to protect them, but its ability to
cope with the mob is mathematical.

NSEQUENCE OF RACE
REIMBURSEMENT
(Lewisto n Journal. }

1t IS a singular fact that probably a
majority of what is called the foreign
vote, meaning the vote of naturalized
foreigners, is for Bryan, and yet Bryan
ism is disfranchising whole race in the
South, the working classes, on account OF
1Iliteracy, while it is paying a premium
for ilIiterate white Bourbons. This preju-
dice against race is the last sentiment a
naturaIized voter ought to support. Had
the South disfr anchised all ilIiterate
voters, irrespective Of race, it would not
have be en- open to the obviously just
criticism here made. BY the policy thus
adopted these states challenge the Repub-
lican party to reduce their vote in the
House of Representatives and in the cleo
tOraI college. This is within clear con.
stitutiOnal power of a majority in Con-
gress to do at any time.

CURRENT COMMENT.
UNDER REEDS HAT.

(From the Rochester IN. W Herald.)
The Boston Herald has failed to dis
cover any disposition on the part of the
Republican campaign m anagers to Ostra-
cize Thomas b. Reed. There is no use in
any prolongation of the search of our
Boston contemporary. The Republican
campaign managers are giving a great
deal more thought to what is going on
under the hat Of the famous 'Czar'' than
he is to their proposed treatment OF HIM
self This is no disgruntled office seeker,
no dis appointed politician, no ambitious
sehemer, breaking his party ties in the
hope of greater rewards elsewhere. Mr..
Reed laid down, perhaps, the greatest
office in the world for the simple satisfac-
tion of respecting him self, a thing that
he has said he could not do so long as he
was compelled by obligations which he
felt as an honest man he owed to those
whose votes had elevated him, to make
himself party to policy which he be-
lieved to be ruinous and dishOn est.

Cincinnati is very much disappointed
at the small increase in population dur
ing the last ten years disclosed by the
census, and thinks there is mistake.
But the census officials think they are
right, and probably no recount will be
made. The increase shown is less than
has increased more than twenty-four per
cent, having now POPULATION of 204, FOB
against 161, 1919 ten years ago. 1t certain
ly seems strange that there should be
such a wide difference in the growth OF
these two cities. but perhaps it is sus-
ceptible of explanation on other grounds

The chance of breaking the Solid South
for great many years to come is extin-
guished by the election in North Carolina,
if the results of that election are not
1nterfered with by the Supreme Court
North Carolina was the one state south
of the border states in which there was a
Republican party of some strength. In
the other states of the so called Solid
South about all the Republicans there are
are few office holders. Anything that
can by the greatest stretch of the imagi-
nation be called party is absent. But
in North Carolina there has been an ac-
tive and vigorous Republican party, and
by fusion with the Populists they re.
Gently elected a governor and sent a rep
resentative Ito the national Senate. 1t
was undoubtedly the existence of this
Il epublican party that prompted largely
the movement for a cons titutional
amendment to disfranchise the blacks.
There was no danger of the loss OF white
supremacy in the State because the
whites outnumbered the blacks by large
majority, but there was danger of the
loss of Democratic supremacy, and it
was this danger that the amendment was
really devised to avert.

Under the gutse of accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination for sheriff of this
county, which by the way, he says he
didn't want, Mr.. Llewellyn Barton airs
his opinions on prohibition, resubmis-
sion, enforcement and non-enforcement
to the extent of a column or more. Mr.
Barton says If h5 is elected he will en-
force the law. A great many equally
honorable gentlemen have said the same
thing before, and they have not enforced
it. While we do not mean to impugn Mr..
Barton s honesty, and while we think he is
sincere in his promise to enforce the law,
we feel quite certain that if elected he
will not enforce it, that is, string
emily and impartially. The action OF his
party in county convention convinced us
that it did not want the law enforced,
and with his party against him as it
surely would be, Mr.. Barton would soon
be compelled to relinquish any attempt
to enforce the law. However, specula-
tion as to what Mr.. Barton would do
or wouI1 not do, is not very profitable,
for he is altogether more likely to be
struck by lightning than to be elected
sheriff.

A general election is probable in Eng
land this fall, unless the South African
war should prove not to be so near its
end as it now appears to be. Certainly
the conservatives could select no time
more favorable, barring the remote con-
tingency referred to above. The Liberal
party is broken up into factions, and in
all probability Will not be able to present
anything like a united front, and the
war spirit is still on, and that will work
favorably to the party that has carried
on the war in spite or some bad plumbers
at the beginning of the conflict. OF
course there is a possibility of something
arising TO change the political current,
but as it is running today it would be
perfectly safe to predict an overwhelm-
ing majority for the present government.

CREED REVISION.

Views of DIR. Herrick Johnspn.l
Among those who favor a supplement-;
tai explanatory statement is DIR. Her
rick Johnson. professor in the McCor-
mick Theological Seminary and the
senior member Of the present commit
tee on creed revision under DR.. Charles
A. Dickey, The moderator of the last
general assembly, who serves as the
committee chairman. DR.. johnson was
also member of the last committee8on
revision a number of years ago..
Speaking of the present movement,
Dr. johnson says: The real issue a I
present are concerned with five pro-
posed changes. There are other smaller
problems, but they can almost be left
out of account entirely in coming to a
decision.
Two of these five points are in the
confession. They are not vital to Call
vinism and they ought to be cut out
The other three points are not IN the
confession. They are vital TO /; full
orbed gospel and they ought to be in.
Az. The two points tina ought to be out
are the decree of probation anu the
ELECT infant clause. The trouble with
the first matter is in the following sec
lions in he third chapter of the cons
fesEion:
g. BY the decree of God. 70. the
manifestation of His glory, some men
and angels are predestined unto ever
lasting life and others foreordained 10
everlasting death.
4. These angels and men thus pre-
destined and foreordained are particu-
llarly and unchangeably designed, and
their number is so certain and definite
that ii cannot be either increased or
diminished.
These two articles are not essential
to Calvinism. They are not even in a
ma jority of the historical Canvinistic
creeds and as they are offensive to
many they might We'll be omitted,
| More over, they are mathematical in
| their nature and the scriptures no-
| where go into mathematics in this way.
The other complaint arises cut OF
the phrase, Elect infants dying in in
\ fancy, which carries the impression
THAT some infants die who are not
elect, and consequently are not saved
| Nobody believes in infant damnatior
now and phrases which. like this one
| imply it are harmful.
