MERELY A PosTPoNEMENT.

In deciding to recommit the mat
ter OF creed revision to a committee
for another year, the Presbyterian
general assembly apparently evinced
a disposition to dodge as long as pos
sible a disagreeable issue by putting
it off until the time comes when 1t
can no longer be lodged and final and
decisive action must be taken. OF
course, it is a question that is solely
the church's business and outsiders
should probably not mix up in the
affair, but in view Of the great deal
that has been written and said con
corning the question public interest
has naturally been aroused, especially
as it pertains to a subject having re,
lation to matters spiritual and any
| thing connected with religion is al
WAYS bound to attract more or less
attention and cause more or less com
ment and discussion. The question
which is agitationg the Presbyterians
is not a new one by any means, but
never before has it assumed the pro
portions which mark it at the pres
ent time or been ga,widely and thor
oughly discussed.AEt is evident from

With Booker T. Washington before
him as an example of what the ne
gro is capable of accomplishing if ne
sets out in real earnest, Senator Nor
gan seems to be afraid of the future
and intends to head off the black
man, if he can, by constitutional
amendments. If his plan is adopted,
no matter how we'll educated or other
wise qualified a negro may be, he
cannot hold Office in Alabama. AS
the matter of office seems to be the
principal cause Of contention in the
south, Morgan's proposed amendment
should prove highly popular and go
| through with a rush. With the negro
| barred by law from the right of hold
ing an office, the next move of Nor
gan and his followers will probably
! be a similar amendment to the consti-
tuition of their state applying to the
republicans.

Having vainly tried for a long time
to check the advance of amalgama-
ton as practiced or the big hill at
Butte, it is now said that Mr.. Heinze
is perfectly willing to be himself
amalgamated and allow his proper
ties to be absorbed in the process OF
a%ccretion Rumor from Butte has 1t
that negotiations are in progress be-
tween the gentleman and the big cop
per company looking to a sale of his
interests to the Rockefelers. The
report is really nothing new, for it
has been published time and again,
neither is it anything new to an
nounce that Mr.. Heinze is willing to
sell. His property has been on the
market for a long time, as is that Of
almost every other man, and the COM
pany has been willing to buy, but the
difference Of opinion as to the actual
and real value Of what he has to sell
has prevented contamination of the
deal. Mr.. Heinze knows just as well
as the Amalgamated what his mines
and shelters are worth and he has
been holding out for a sum that he
will probably admit privately is too
high, ebut in doing SO has hoped that
the other fellows might eventually
agree to give what would represent
a fair valuation. When they make
that offer the new will PROBABLY come
last over; over because m of the
contestants is no longer in a position
where he can or wants to continue
the struggle.

President Mitchell, who also is at the
head of a miners organization. No
longer than a few weeks ago, when
it seemed that trouble was inevitable
between the miners of the anthracite
regions, whose president Mr.. Mitchell
is, and the mining operators, Mr..
Mitchell exerted his every energy to
prevent a strike and his strongest ap-
peal vas based on the commonality of
interests existing between the miners
and the operators. He c%ounselled ar
bitration and Cancellation and drew
attention to the amicable relations ex-
listing between the bituminous min
ers and their employers, both of
whom, he said, had learned through
bitter experience that their interests,
instead, of being antagonistic, were
after all common, and as one pros
pered and succeeded, Sc in the same
measure the other was prosperous
and successful. BY having learned
reason and to appreciate the situation
which each occupied in relation to
the other, he said the end of strife
and %dissention had been reached and
each was willing and prepared to con-
cede what rightfully belonged to the
other. Because of this understanding
and reasonable regard for right and
justice as they applied to both sides,
committees of the miners and the
operators in a few days had been able
to fix the scale of wages for thous-
ands of men at an advance to the
men, amounting to many millions of
| dollars.
1t is to be regretted that men of the
intelligence generally conceded to the
miners of the west should elect as
their leader and advisor a man Of the
disposition and tendencies which
signalize Mr.. Boyce and place him in
antagonism to labor leaders of ma
tional reputation and standing. The
general trend Of opinion and condi.
tions is in the direction of better rela'
tions between the laborer and the
employer, and any man who wilfully
injects himself as an element in op
position to this advancement is not
in harmony with the times and should
be placed where his influence anG
power are rendered %inocuous. His is
a discordant note in the genera
scheme of harmony, and the sooner
it is silenced the better for all sides
for the sooner will reason and sens
take the place of prejudice and mali
cious ignorance. .

orders to Waldersee to pack up and

the move any more than the count

B.. Connolly Dles-Funeral Today.
Clara, the Is months old daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. +. B. Connolly, died
last Sunday morning from summer
complaint. What makes the death Of
the child doubly sad is the fact that
the parents were absent from the
city when she passed away. They
left about ten days ago for Milwaukee
and Madison, expecting to be absent
a few weeks. Soon after their de-
parture the child, who had been in
feeble health since her birth, was
taken i'll, but her condition was not
considered dangerous until Saturday.
Then the parents were notified and
they answered that they would start
for home Immediately.
They will arrive home today on the
delayed train and the funeral viii be
held from the family residence this
afternoon with services conducted by
the Rev. G. c. Stull.

Japanese Porcelain Repairs.

In the manner of repairs those wonder
full followers of principle and truth in
art, the Japanese, have a lesson to teach
US. When a Japanese connoisseur breaks
some precious piece Of pottery or porce-
lain, he does not throw 1t away with
disdain. neither does he try to deceive
the casual observer into the. belief that
it is unbroken. Instead he has it Joined
together. generally with gold lacquer. in
such a fashion that the fracture Is boldly
shown and commented on, as it were. by
the frank exposition Of the method by
which it is made good. Curiously enough.
a distinctly new and charmingly decora-
tive effect Is in most cases added by these
irregular gold lines, while the sense of
craftsmanship is tickled by the marvel
Gus skill exhibited by the repairer in
thus welding together the two dissimilar
materials. Truth IL preserved at no loss
of artistic beauty; indeed once more 1t
is made clear that the two may always
walk hand in hand.-The Connoisseur.
