THE PRESBYTERIANS.

Yesterday was essentially foreign mis-
sion day with the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly, now in session at
Lexington. Tuesday nights spectacular
lecture on foreign missions, with stereop-
ticon views of life in heather lands, was
a fitting preparation for yesterdays pro-
ceedings, and when the hour of opening
arrived the largest crowd of any morn
ing session was gathered TO hear the pro-
ceedings. OF special interest we're the
reports from the foreign missionaries who
were present, and who gave accounts of
their stewardship, Dr. j. R. Williams,
from China DR.. S. r. Cannon, from
Brazil; DR.. C. G. Owen, from Korea,
and Rev. w. NJ. Morrison, from Africa.
Special interest was shown in the adj
dresses of DIR. Owen and Mr.. Morrison
from the fact of their former residence in
Lexington. DR.. Owen spoke encourage
ingly of the work in Korea and expressed
hope for its future. Mr.. Morrison stated
that in his seven years residence in the
Congo Free State the number of con-
verts had increased from 200 to 1000.
Rapid progress was made by the Pres
byterian General Assembly, in Los
Angeles, CAL, yesterday, in the dispo-
sition of reports of special committees
and standing boards. Buffalo was select
ed as the next place Of meeting, and the
way was cleared for the hearing of the
most important subjects that are on the
programme, the reports on revision Of
the confession of faith, divorce, and re-
marriage, and the consideration of the
Tennessee overture on the question of
separate presbyteries for colored people.
These three reports were set for hearing
today. A case of intense interest to the
church came up today. 1t was the ap-
peal Of Rev. Louis Richter, of Mime
apoIis, from the action of his presbytery
and the Synod of Minnesota in deposing
him from the ministery and ex-commun-
icating him from the church. The
charge against Mr. Richter was that he,
as a Presbyterian minister, had occupied
a post as agent for disseminating litera-
ture for the brewery trust. 1t was also
charged that after citation of his presby-
terry he appealed by circulars to the
saloons and breweries to contribute to
fund to enable him to prosecute his case
before the General Assembly. The case
was tried by a judicial committee. This
committee reported to the assembly sus-
tanning the action of the Minnesota
Synod. 1t was adopted by the assem-
bly,, and Mr.. Richter, by that means,
was barred from the church.

CHOICE OF SENATOR'S

The State Senators to be elected on
Tuesday, November 9 1903, by the
1902 reapportionment, will serve four
years from January |, 1904, or until
January l, 1906. Their successors are
to be chosen at the November election.
1907. These Senators to be chosen
next November will, therefore, have
a voice in the selection of two United
States Senators. In the fall of 1904
successor to Senator Daniel will be
chosen, and in the spring Of 1906 a sue
cessor to Senator Thomas S. Martin is
to be chosen. Senator Daniel, it is
said. will be reelected without opposi-
ton in his own party. For the sue
cession to Senator Martin there will be
contest in the party. At least one
gentleman will contest the honor with
him. Just who that one will be is yet
almost as uncertain as the Senator
ship itself.
The members of the State Senate
chosen this fall will have the choice of
two Senators, but unless the party plan
of primary be repealed they will merely
vote as they are instructed. In the
event that no democrat aspires to sue
coed Senator Daniel, there will be no
senatorial primary this summer. The
State central committee of the democrat
ic party will merely declare him the
democratic nominee, and every democrat
ic member of the General Assembly
will be pledged to vote for his reelection.
The situation in 1905 is the more in
teresting. In the event that there are
more than two candidates in the party
primary and that no one has q majority,
it may then fall to the lot of the Gen
eral Assembly to elect from those voted
for. Naturally the man securing the
largest vote will be the strongest candi-
date, if, indeed, the party plan does not
provide for plurality nomination. This
feature of the primary plan may be
changed, however, before 1905. There
is considerable opposition to nomination
of Governor and Senator by a minority
vote. The fact that twenty Senators to
be chosen this fall will have vote
in the selection of Senator Martins sue
cessor, will make the United States SEN
atorship direct issue in the nominations
for the Senate this summer.
