UNION OF CHURCHES PROBABLE
and Presbyterians Will
 Consider the Matter.

Consider the Matter.
 Dallas, Texas. May IS-Delegates from all, over the United States, Mexico and Japan Are gathering here tonight for the seventty-fifth annual general assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
 The assembly will open at Il o'clock tomorrow, with sermon by Rev. R. M. Tinnorn, Denver. Col, retiring Modera- toc. who will preside over the gathering until a successor is elected
 The most important matter to come be- fore this assembly will be that of the union of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church with the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, which has been under way for some time. A com mittee from the Cumberland Church was appointed last year to confer with like committee from the mother organization and that report. 1t is known, will recom- mend essentially the union of the two churches, in view of the revision of the confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America in 1903 touching upon the doctrines of foreordination, infant damnation and the additional chapters on the love of God.
 similar report to the mother church will be made by the joint committee from that body at It's meeting in Buffalo. N. Y., tomorrow.
 The assembly here will continue at least a week and possibly longer.

A RAD BILL KILLED.

Almost at the last moment Governor Odell of New York vetoed bill which the Legislature had enacted giving additional rights, and powers to the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Company. It was one of the most powerful and far-reaching laws ever passed by General Assembly, and the practical operations of such a law would be the gradual but certain de- struction of Niagara Falls.
 In this unitarian age less attention is paid to scenic beauty than was form erly the case, but this proposed meas ure attracted attention, and protests from all parts of the country. Niagara Falls is one of the great natural won- ders of the world, and its destruction would be a world loss. Of course the avowed purport of the proposed law was not the immediate destruction of the Falls. as one would destroy an ob- stacle with dynamite. for the avowai of such an object would have been fla tai to the bill, but the final result would have been the same.
 The bill was not really a dangerous measure, from a casual view, as it merely authorized the erection and eS- tension of works for the development of electric light and power, but 1t au- thorized the promoters to draw water without limitation from Niagara Riv- CT above the falls. The rapid and con- stantly increasing utilization of cleo tricity and the almost unlimited dis. tance to which it can be conveyed coupled with the enormous power that can be obtained from the river above the falls. would inevitably lead to such drafts on the river as would practical ly. if not entirely destroy all the gran deur and beauty of this wonder of na- ture. The Governor did right.

He Was We'll Known Citizen of Lee
 County.
 Opelika, May 1S.-(Special. )-Hon. J.. R. McGehee, a prominent citizen died quite suddenly yesterday. He has been in bad health for sometime. but his death was unexpected. He was Circuit Clerk of Lee County for six years and, made a most efficient and competent officer. He was the Democratic nominee for Probate Judge in 1892, but was defeated. He was the father of G. E. McGehee, presi- dent of the Lafayette Railway. MT. Mo Gehee was an active member of the Methodist Church and true and loyal Democrat.
 The closing exercises of the Opelika public school are in progress this week. and much interest is being manifested in them The school is closing a very pros- porous and successful year. pr. Rice of Montgomery delivers the literary address tomorrow night.
 All of this section was visited by good rain the night of the 1"th.- which will be of inestimable benefit to the farmers. The situation was becoming quite serious. Crops of all kinds were badly needing the rain.

The Only Explanation.

ThlIadeIphla RecOrd.
 The only reasonable explanation of Mir Bryan's attitude Is that he regards him. self as high priest of the Democratic Party. and looks upon all who refuse to accept his creed as heretics from the true faith. But so arrogant and absurd a pre- th4 contempt it deserves. If, therefore MT Bryan should make good his implied threat by putting himself at the head of the lingering remnant of Populists there would be nothing in that to alarm the National Democracy. On the contrary the elimination of such an element would tenc to inspire the party with fresh en- ergy and confidence.

THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1904.
A DREAMER OF PRESIDENTS.

Nothing could more thoroughly typi- ness of the man who now unfortunate Iy occupies the presidential office than did his abuse and misrepresentation of practically all the Presidents before him. He spared Washington doubt less for no other reason than that he knew the people of the United States would not stand for any abuse of that great man. He also spared John Adams. but that may have been be- cause the latter had some of fRoose- velt's temperament about him.
 With these exceptions all of the ear Her Presidents, those who held the of- fee prior to the war between the States, were subjects of his fiippant abuse. Thomas Jefferson, in his esti- nation, was little better than an ire sponsible villain, and James Madison fared but little better He calls the latter, incapable. timid. a ridiculously Incompetent leader for a war with Great Britain, and further asserts that 1t was Madlson's imbecile capacity that brought shame and disgrace to Amer lea in the war of 1872.
 It is difficult to speak with any de- gree of patience, or to use language at all parliamentary, when speaking of such a slanderer as this-a slanderer of men so far above him in capacity and character that any comparison would be absurd. It is true that when these criticisms were written, Roose- welt was several years younger than he now is, but he was not so young as to be ignorant of the meaning of words. He was then somewhat rawer than he Is now but he is the same Roosevelt that he was then. except that he has learned to hide his thoughts to some extent
 No doubt those New Englanders who took part in the Hartford convention, who denounced Madison for the War of 1872. and wanted to secede from the Union on account of 1t, would be im- mensely pleased if they could be here fin the flesh and read these false and reckless criticisms of the President who conducted that War to q success full and honorable close. These impla- cable Yankees who assembled in the city of Hartford December IS, 1874. passed resolutions and made inflam- matory and reasonable speeches, and who, if they had not been so weak in numbers would probably have taken steps looking towards secession-these Yankees doubtless felt towards Madi- son very much as Roosevelt does, or as he wrote about him. They doubt less looked on him as a failure and a weakling, but Jacksons victory at New orleans and the triumph of our gov ernment took the wind out of their sails and left them to reap the con tempt they so richly deserved.
 It is a reflection on our government and on the American people that such a reckless defamer of the great states men of former days should now occupy the highest position in the gift of the people. That he became President by accident removes some of the reproach from the nation, but that reproach will be doubled if he shall be elected. The people can no longer plead ignorance of his nature or claim that they do not know what manner of man he is. If they elect him, they voluntarily elevate a defamer of much better men and bet ter Presidents than himself and be- acme partners in his shameful libels.

The fact that a small target is hard CT to hit than a large one is one good reason why small men are preferable to large ones in battle. In the old days. when battles were fought hand-to- hand, size and strength counted. but when a dwarf can shoot as far and as accurately as a giant the advantages are largely in his favor.
