UNITED P~REsBYTERIANs.
General Assembly mt Des Moines and
the secret Order Question.

Des Moines, Ia. May 2s.-When the
United Presbyterian general assembly
opened its session, Tuesday, it i'm
mediately plunged into q discussion
of the report of the judiciary commit
tee as to the change in creed with re-
gard to admitting members of secret
orders into the church. During the ar
gulnent demands were made that Il
vote be taken, but the moderator
%overruled these, and permitted u full
discussion of the merits of the ques-
ton.
Rev. K. G. Campbell, of College
Springs, la, moved to amend the re-
port by striking out the following sec
ton: This action is not to be con-
strued rs to exclude from the church
the membership of a large number Of
societies which are not bound by oath
or affirmation, or do not pledge to
secrecy in things unknown, or incul-
cate a Christian religion"
Mr.. Campbell held that if the sec
ton in question remained, it would
be n tacit Endorsement of these So
SiciitS. III. u n. bIltT, cIdiIluun o.
the committee on judiciary, protested
against the change, for the reason
that there has been a constant call
for a definition. ''The article said
the doctor, does not put such socie-
ties as the q. A. Il. under the ban,
and IN the other hand we are not in
dorsing them"
DIR. j. Ii. McClerken, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, said he favored the judiciary re-
port, because it Disseminated be-
tween the good and the bad secret
societies.
DIR. j. NJ. Wallace, also of Pitts
burgh, Pa, said: II do not believe
that the church should be stirred up
by an overture. For the sake of the
w%orkinglnen, / do not want this part
of the report stricken out. The work.
ingmen have just as good a right to
form a union as Morgan has a trust
and / do object 10 the workingmer
being Kept out of the church, because
they form themselves into a union tc
protect themselves against their op
pressors."
Rev. j. L. Ross, of Ohio, favored tho
amendment, because the great secret
orders are rivals to the church, fol-
the reason that they trade in a falls,
religion. "They have wine parties
card parties, and many other ~snares,
concluded the speaker.

SECRETARY ROOT QUOTED.
The Secretary of War Considers the
Result Gratifying.

New York, May 2S.-Secretary Root
is quoted in "A Washington dispatch
to the Tribune as saying of the SUI
preme courts decisions in the insular
cases:
"Unquestionably the decision of the
court sus1ains the contentious, the
cries and the policy adopted by the
administration in conducting the al
fairs of the Spanish islands since the
ratification of the Paris treaty. The
UNFOLDING OF the Foraker act signifies
that congress has the power TO legis-
late without being limited by the pro.
visional contingencies of the consti-
tuition. FOR instance, the constitu-
tional provision setting forth that
uniform duties must be collected,
does no. apply to the islands. The
general result of the decision is GER
tainiy very gratifying.
"Of course there will he some little
embarrassment caused by the holding
that no duties can be collected except
by congressional legislation. but j..
will be only a temporary embarrass-
lnent.'

LIVELY DEBATE ENSUED.
Presentation of Mondays Minutes
in Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, Showed Inaccuracies.
THEY WERE CORRECTED AND ADOPTED.
The United Presbyterian General
Assembly, mt Des Moines, Ia,
Wrestling with the Question of
Secret Order Men Among Ia
Church Membership.

Philadelphia, May 2s.-The Pres
bytcrian general assembly engaged IN
a lively debate over the approval of
the minutes. Rev. DR.. j. ID. Moffat
objected to the phraseology of the
resolution creating the committee on
revision. The resolution authorized
the continuance of DIR, Dickey's com
mittee, and DR.. Moffat claimed that
this committee had been dissolved
when their report was adopted. lie
further suggested hat the records be
made to show that a new committee
was appointed, even though its mem
bers consist of the old committee.
The wording of the resolution was
accordingly altered and the minutes
were adopted.
Then arose the question as to the
chairman ship of the committee.
DIR. Herrick Johnson said in view of
the fact that DR.. Dickey had acted as
chairman of the old committee, it
would be discourteous to select n new
chairman. \ motion was made en-
towering the committee to elect their
own chairman, but this was defeated.
DR.. Motfat said that DR.. Dickey had
been made chairman of the last com
mittee because of his office as mod
orator of the assembly. He moved
the election of Modertor Minton as
chairman Of the new committee on re-
vision, and the motion was carried.

classes, and upon the all-important
third.
1.-THE anti-administration party
wins in the second class. That tri-
umph is a mere matter of dollars and
cents. Plaintiffs will get back the
money paid in tariff between the rati-
tication and the passage of the For
aker act. Importers who paid without
protesting will not get their money
back.
''rhe court decides that the For
aker act is constitutional; that this
country has the legal right to govern
its new possessions as territories, 10
make special laws for them and TO
tax their products. This has been the
contention of the administration from
the very start. 1t was the principal
issue in the last campaign for presi-
dent. Our Porto Rican legislation
was selected by Mr.. Bryan as the main
point of attack in his Indianapolis
speech. The decision puts a quietus
on that sort of thing, and takes the
matter out of politics for all time.
This decision is final. There can
be no appeal. The decision will not
hurt Porto Rican trade in the least

MIR. GRIGGs INTERVIEWED.
The Former Attorney General Dis
cusses the Decisions.

New York, May 2s.-Former Atty
Gen. Griggs, in an interview upon the
supreme court Porto Rican decisions,
said:
ut is n splendid victory for the adj
ministration on the vital principle of
expansion. 1t IS Unnecessary for me
to say That | am thoroughly satisfied
with the result. 1t is n clear-cut VIC
tory for the government on the only
really important point involved.
Three distinct actions were involved;
one protesting against the collection
of tariff upon imports from Porto
Rico after the date of our armed oc-
cupancy of the island, and before the
date of the ratification of the treaty
of peace; another protesting against
tariff charges or imports between the
ratification and the passing of tho
Foraker act, and a third attacking the
Foraker law as Unconstitutional.
THE decision scores a victory for
the administration in the firstof these

til the second Monday in October. The
brief session was devoted to the for

remaining insular cases, one of them
that OF the IA diamond rings, dealing
with impcrtations from the Philip

AS VIEWED IN LONDON.
Nature of the London Press Conn
ments on the Decisions.

London. May 2s.-The London news
papers have paid scant attention to
the decision of the United States SUI
prcmo court in the insular cases. The
few comments made deal principally
with the confusing nature of the
Judgment" 1t is, however. agreed that
the practical result is obvious-that
it leaves congress free to deal with
the annexed territories as it pleases.
The ST. James Gazette says: 1T is
one of those legal tictions which had
SO much TO do with the development
of our own institutions. 1t is GER
tainly a convenient judgment for
President McKinley's government, and
will probably clear away many diff
culties bequeathed to American states
men by the Spanish war"

There had been no sunshine for go long that people were in the doleful dumps and they needed a change. They got it, though both the sunshine and the circus were little late in the day. But when they came they were all right, and their combined splendors did much to mitigate the memory of wet and saddening past

There are times when rain on the coast is needed, but the general opinion seems to be that the coast is now sufficiently wet It doesn't need to be so wet that the fishes wont know the difference be- tween the coast and the sea. More over, it is time to begin to think of what corn needs, and it doesn't need continuous rain.

IT C1N RIP.

| The Supreme court of Pennsylvania
 has told the much enduring people of
 that State that what is known as the
 ripper law is constitutional and can
 rip. This law provided for reorgani- l'zation of the government of Pittsburg, Allegheny and Scranton. It removed from office the mayor and gave to the governor power to appoint an official to succeed him known as a recorder.
 It was charged that the object of the
 bill was to strengthen the Quay ma chine, and Its validity was disputed. The opponents of the measure held that the constitutions provision forbidding the passage of any special bill for the
 government of cities governed in this
 case. But the court has held that this
 is not special bill. It has held fur
 ther that the municipal corporations are agents of the State with subordinate governmental functions provided for reasons of convenience, and that the corporations can be created or destroyed at will and that the extent of their pow CTS depends on the Judgment of the leg islature and that they have no vested rights either in their offices, their char ters or their corporate powers. The court further declares that the fact that the treatment of the cities by the State
 was unjust, oppressive or violative of natural rights did not invaldate its ac- tion and that the remedy for oppression lay in the hands of the voters and not in the courts. The court would inter- pret the Constitution which had been adopted by the people comforting cer- tain powers on the legislature. So the mayors of Pittsburg, Scranton and AL legheny must retire from office and their successors, appointed by the gov- ernor. will assume the direction of the affairs of the cities.
 The decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme court is not unanimous, but, like the recent decision of the United States Supreme court it is unanimous enough to serve.

JHE JMMEDIATE D UTI.

The United States Supreme court de- cided that the Foraker act is constitu- tional, that this country has the legal right to govern its new possessions as territories, to make special laws for them, and to tax their products. This Is the law now, and must be respected as such. It will agitate the "antis'' even more than they have been agi- tated, and they will see more things than they have ever seen. But what Is their duty and the duty of all well-d dis posed citizens of the United States? It Is clearly set forth by the New York Evening Post, which says: The imme- diate duty is, while accepting it as law, to make it tributary to liberty. Con- gress has full power to do what it will with the islanders, says the highest court Very well, let us see to it that congress does nothing inconsistent with humanity, with justice, with our broad est and proudest American traditions.
 Of course the rabid expansionists claim that nothing has been or is likely to be- done by congress that is wrong toward our insular possessions, but eternal vigilance is still the price of lib nrt1y
