OPPOSE WORLDLY ADJUSTMENTS.

The General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church has announc-
ed a very firm position in oppSi-
ton to dancing. card-playing and
the use of intOXicantS in response
to a request for an Interpretation
of the law of that Church in such
matters.
We quote the Interpretation:
/. The Assembly has uniformly
discouraged and CONDEMNED the
modern dance in all its forms. as
tending to evil, whether practiced
IN public balls or in private parlors.
2. Some forms of this amuse-
ment are more miSehievOus than
others; the round dance than the
square, the public ball than the
private parlor; but all are evils.
and should be discountenanced.
3. The extent of the mischief
done depends largely upon circum-
stances. The Church Session is
therefore the only court competent
To Judge what remedy to apply:
but the Assembly being persuaded
that IN most cases, it is the result
OF thoughtlessness or ignorance.
recommends great patience in deal
ing with those who offend in this
way.
4. (The following was added bv
the Assembly as an amendments

gerous amusement.
The regular session of the Berry
vile Presbyterian Church on Feb
ruary 25 supplemented the abov,
with the following:
We. the Session of this Church

THE PANAMA CANAL

The Secretary of the Treas
ury has notified all of the
Government DepositorieS To turn
over TO the Department 20 per
cent of the Government money
which they hold. This money, a
total of about $50. 10000 will be
added to the $50. 100000 from the
Treasury and paid over for the
Canal property. OF this amount,
the Republic of Panama will get
$40, 100000 and the French canal
company will get S+O,O0O.0OO. 1t
is roughly estimated that the actual
canal construction will cost the
United States Government S175.-
600, 900, which, with the purchase
price, Will make a grand total of
S225,000,0O0. These are big fig
ures, but 1t may cost more than
that before we are through with it.
But we believe that il will be
worth the expenditure, even
though it is double the estimated
sum. We believe in improve
mentS for travel and commerce.
Canals, bridges, roads, and every
other device for shortening and
quickening public travel and COM
merce are cheap at any price. We
have believed that the Nicarguan
route was the most feasible. sand
we still think so.

Mr.. knight for the office, and that any
statement that he would stand for the
postnasttrship against Mr. knight is ali
solutely erroneous. As batter Of fact.
Nh, Knights commission does mt expire
until May, 1906, eighteen months IN the
future. If he Is alive and In health he
will seek reappolntmcnt for another four
years. He has made an efficient posimHs-
ter. and Is popular with employees and the
public alike.
Mr.. Marriott ~ a Inefficient man in the
positio nha holds and Is doubtless we'll
auhiiiied TO be postmaster, but his own
statement sets at rest any rllInor TINT
Knight.
