Before the Great Court.

The United States Supreme Court has be- fore it two cases of unequal taxation, one arising from Porto Rico and the other from the Philippines-both involving the broad question of sovereignty. Upon the court falls the responsibility of deciding whether pouplar sovereignty is supreme, following the flag, or whether it is confined to se- feet lot who may govern as vassals other lots and other lands. The administration urges decision in favor of vassal com munities. and there Is a widespread feeling that a court that reversed itself in the in- come tax case, and that was reconstructed ito uphold greenbacks, and that scored the Dred Scott decision, may find an excuse for reversing American principles by decid- dng that some under the flag are masters, while some under it's folds are slaves.
 The court before which this momentous question is pending consists of nine judges, one of whom was appointed by President Hayes, one by Arthur, three by Harrison, three by Cleveland, and one by Mckinley. Justice Harlan, of Kentucy, Republican, born In 1885, was appointed by Hayes in 1886 Justice Gray Of Massachusetts, born in 1928, Republican. was appointed by Ar thur In 1888. Chief Justice Fuller of Illinois, born in 1888, Democrat. was appointed by Cleveland in 1888. These are the three vet sas. Republican, born in 1887, was ap- pointed by Harrison in 1889; Justice Brown of Michigan, born in 1886, a Republican. was appointed by Harrison in 1890, and Jus sice Sharas of Pennsylvania, born in 1892, also Republican, was appointed by Harri-

Revision of Creed.

Among the important changes in religious faith none outrank that which is about to occur in the Presbyterian Church of the under consideration a long time, and final ly each presbytery was directed to express its views, and a large majority declared that the time had come for change from milder nature. About a month ago a com mittee, of which Benjamin Harrison was member, met in Washington to canvass the returns made by the presbyteries, and to formulate joint recommendation to the General Assembly, which meets in May. The committee found that the pres- byteries desire these things:
 1. That the returns plainly indicate that the church desires some changes in its credal statement.
 The returns indicate plainly that no change is desired which would in any way impair the integrity of the system of doc Urine contained in the confession of faith.
 3. These returns also indicate that a large plurality desire that changes should be made by some new statement of pres ent doctrines.
 4. The returns also indicate a desire up- on the part of many Presby for some revision of the present confession.
 B. It was therefore unanimously agreed by the committee to recommend to the General Assembly that some revision or change be made in our confessional state ments Substantial, but not final, agree7 ment was reached as to the method of preparing changes embodying both revision and supplemental statement, but the de- ternining of the whole matter was de- ferred to a subsequent meeting.
 The committee is to meet on February 12 to prepare in final form a statement to be laid before the General Assembly. When so conservative a church finds changes desirable, it must be conceded that there is evolution in religious as well as in all other matters in this world.
