Gen. Franz Sgel was one of the In
teresting figures OF our civil war He
was distinguished soldier before he
came to the United states, and when
the war broke out and he promptly
took service IN II, his name and fame
exerted powerful influence in the
enlistment of soldiers OF German birth.
The service which he rendered In the
early part Of the war in the resculng
Of Missouri from the clutch OF the
secessionist was. perhaps, his most
brilliant service although he contin-
ued to be leader OF armies almost to
the end OF the contest. For some rea-
son, the success which attended his
earlier campaigns was not maintained,
and he suffered defeats which ma
terlally injured his prestige.

COMPROMISING ON HEREsY.

| The English Methodlsts have recent
" decided a heresy case. Professor j
Agar Beet, II appears, was charged with
teaching errors on the subjects OF i'm.
mortality and the eternal fate Of the
Wicked He contends that the Bible
does not assert the Essential perma-
nence of the soul" and since he does
not believe that the Bible plainly and
categorlcally teaches the endless con
tlnuance Of the agony OF the lost and
lmpenitent soul, he holds that his
teachings do not contravene the doc
trines held and taught in the Wesleyan
| sect.
The matter was considered at the
! pastoral session Of the conference at
Manchester. and that body decided
that, in view of the solemnlty and adj
mitted mystery OF the subject and the
necessity OF allowing some freedom OF
opinion upon IT," and out OF regard to
the fidelity Of DR.. Beet TO the Wesleyan
doctrine as whole. the conference
would take no further steps In the mat
ter-provlded that Professor Beet would
agree not TO teach his opinions in the
Wesleyan pulplts, nor publish other
books on the subject. DR.. Beet ac-
cepted these conditions, and added that
the doctrines to which exception had
been taken would not be taught by him
In his classroom at Richmond.
This Is compromise. The court
agreed not TO condemn the views Of the
professor. and the professor promised
not to teach them any more.
That, on the face OF It. looks as an
absurdity And yet, 1t Is difficult to see
how more just conclusion could have
been reached between men who differ
on things on which revelation alone
can throw any light. and yet refuse to
believe that there Is revelation In the
present age. They could do no better
than 10 compromise. II the professor
and his brethren had the benefit OF
the guidance of inspired men. they
would have referred the question TO
their decision. and they would have re-
celyed the answer from which there can
be no appeal: Thus saith the Lord"
Heresy hunting is a sorry occupation
at most, But when one uninspired
man brands another as hereto. he
assumes an authority that can belong
to none, except those Who can truly

General Franz sigel who died in New
York yesterday, had long outllyed his
celebrity. Probably many men OF the
present active generation, born since
the civil war, would have been puzzled
If few days ago they had been asked
who General Sigel was and what he
had done, for 40 years ago his name
was on all lips and he was thought by
some TO be the coming military man.
General Sge was by profession a SOL
der and had a creditable record in the
abortIve German Liberal revolt OF isiS,
In which he took part. He was very
young then, but he gave promise OF be-
ing a dashing and at the same time
adroit commander. This promise he did
not redeem In our civil war
