The Idaho Mountaineer says that
Next to Perry Heath, the biggest
CRATER in the postoftice department
was democrat He was appointed
by Cleveland, the biggest CRATER that
ever served the people. Well,
suppose that to be true, does it
lessen the crime of Perry Heath: Ou
the other hand the administration is
to be censured for keeping thieving
Cleveland democrat in office for six
years, aud ii it has taken that long
to discover his true character, better
get some person at the head Of the
government who Is awake.

Bryan says that the Kansas City
platform is good enough for the
coming democratic convention We
see nothing wrong with the plat
form, but few of the plahks might
be removed with propriety and some
new ones substituted There is no
use wasting wind over dead issues.
The democracy must be united on
an honest platform if it Is to win the
next presidential election.

who claims to be Mrs. Taylor, wife
of George H. Taylor. manager of the
American Wooden Mills Company, tail
ors, murdered in his store soon after
midnight this morning, is in Jail on
suspicion of the murder.
Circumstantial evidence that points

from employment with the company
She admits that when he said he would
shoot her if she bothered him any more
that she replied, Not if l shoot you
first" She claimed to be Taylor's Iegi-

wife. invoked the aid of the local
police several weeks ago, asking that
Taylor be Swallowed with reference to

inference acknowledges this wife. and
his responsibility for their sons sup

That the fatal shot was fired by
some one who entered the store after
it had been closed for the night and
was there when Taylor returned for
his overcoat is conceded. but whethe'
this person was burglar or a wom~

agree.

RACE QUESTION
TO PLAY A PART
IN ARGUMENTS ON UNION
TO BE MADE IN NORTHERN GEN.
ERAL ASSEMBLY.

Grounds of Opposition Entertained
by what Is Thought n Minority
of the Church Governing Body Are
Based on the DOctrinaI Position
of the Cumberland Church and the
Color Line-UniOn Is Ultimately
Expected-Then One Great Church.
Buffalo, n. Y, May 22.-The minis
ters attending the one hundred and six
teenth general assembly of the Presby-
terrain Church in the United States of
America occupied various pulpits in
the city to-day. The Rev. ]. Addison
Henry the new moderator, preached
in the Lafayette Presbyterian Church.
DR. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton oc-
cupied the pulpit of Westminster
Church.
There was union meeting of all the
Presbyterian sunday-schools in the
city this afternoon.
Popular meetings were held in the
evening in the interest of the Board
of Aid for the Colleges and of the
Woman's Board of Home Missions and
a mass meeting for evangelism. Rev.
s. Edward Young, one of the speakers
at the mass meeting for evangelism,
said, in part:
MY confident expectation that the
present step toward union after mu-
tual concessions, yet without sacrifice
of an essential doctrine, will eventual
ly unite the Northern and Southern
and Cumberland Presbyterian Churches
III one mighty Presbyterian Church,
with something like 1000 ministers,
$4,000 churches and 1,500,0 900 members
and possibly 100000 more adherents.' -
The proposed union of the Cumber-
land and the Northern churches con-
tinues to be the absorbing topic among
the commissioners to the assembly. The
supporters and opponents of union are
lining up for the contest next Thurs
day. The opposition will be led by
DR.. Francis L. Patton of Princeton
Theological Seminary; DR.. Henry c.
Minton of Trenton, n. j., who was
moderator of the assembly in 1901; DR..
J. Ross Stevenson of New York, and
Gen. Ralph E. Prime of Yonkers, N.
Y The grounds of opposition are the
doctrinal position of the Cumberland
church and the color line
In support fthe proposed plan of
union there will be the stated clerk
of the assembly, DR.. William Henry
Roberts DR.. Charles A Dickey, mod
orator in 1900; Dr. Robert F. Coyle,
retiring moderator; DR.. Howard A.
Johnston of New York, and DR.. James
Abbott of Washington and Jefferson
College, Pennsylvania.
It is conceded that a majority of the
assembly favors union with the Cum
berland Church. but there is an infiu-
entail minority opposed to union on the
terms proposed. The opposition is
based principally on the ground that
it would be unwise to attempt to force
the issue at this time on the basis sug-
gested and that it may be necessary,
therefore, to modify present plans.
