THE JIM CROW ISSUE.
An Obstacle in Path of Union With the
 CumbeFlands.

CumDeEtanu8s
 Buffalo, N. Y., May A.-While many important questions will come before the assembly the first of next week, the ab- sorbing topic among the commissioners ia the proposed union with the Cumber- land Church, which has been isolated from the parent body since 1s10 Debate on the question will begin next Thurs day. It is noticeable that the union plan Is assailed by some of the promi- nent clergymen and college presidents in the North and South. It is the opinion of many that the battle to be fought here will be between leaders and the rank and file.
 It is claimed by some that the con- fession of faith. as revised a year ago, now admits of union with the Cumber- land branch Others believe otherwise and this difference will precipitate one of the contests on the assembly floor
 Predestination and the educational qualifications for the ministry have also continued as grounds for separa- tion, but there is another issue-the Jim Crow issue-which is not less formidable. The Cumberlanders. as a condition of union. demand separate colored Presbyteries. Many who would be willing to accede to reunion of doctrinal grounds, are bitterly op- posed to race discrimination.
