Ihe obvious comment on the act of
Governor Gillett of California in call

pretty late in the day 10 do il. The
Governor has allowed himself to be
quoted, without contradiction, as that
he would not interfere. He has seen
the extensive and costly preparations
gong on for months for the fight, and
to all appearance by his taclt consent

says he won t allow it,

Very great cost has been incurred in
preparing for this battle. That cost
could have been spared if the Gov.
ernor had spoken the word at the first
that he speaks now. And if he intended
TO speak that word at all, he should
have spoken it long ago. But if he has
all along intended to permit the fight
but has now yielded to clamor and for

the law does not forbid, then his mind
IS not of the order that exalted officials

PUNISHING THE EMPLOYEES

The public must have read with aston.
'shment and Indignation yesterday, the
cold'olooded announcement of the dis.
charge of employees by the thousands.

Great Northern, 1000 by the Santa Fe,
LOCO by the Chicago, Rock Island a. Pa.
cltlc, and so on, to the number of
1900 In all, with more of the same sort
of work TO come. The wholesale dis.
charge of men in this fashion means
bard times; and that hard times will be
forced on the country for spite
We say this advlsedly; for President
Elliott of the Northern Pacific flatly
says so, in these words:
Increased taxes, Increased prices for
labor and material. and the enlarged
powers OF the railway commissions, are
all working TO reduce the net earnings OF
railroad companies, so that il seems pru-
dent for the board OF directors and rail-
road officers TO consider most carefully
not only their duty TO the travellers and
shippers over their roads, but also their
duty To the very large number of people
whose money is Invested in railroads, and
IN rnH Ia large class OF investors TO whom the

part or wisdom not Ia engage in new en-

form of action, unworthy of our Chris

wages must raise, rents must raise; all
supplies must increase in price. And
by the time the round is completed, the
roads must raise their rates again. And
SO the unending round would 90 on. The
whole proposition, as defense or ex.
euse for the discharge of workingmen
by the ten thousand is fallacious and
indefensible.

is the most powerful bid they can put
In for yet further and more drastic gov

In pursuance of its position hereto

THE PRESBYTERIAN FAITH.

The General Assembly of the Prcsby
terian church, evidently impelled there
TO by those who were not content with
the conclusion of q case OF alleged
beresv. hns made clear and distinct
reafiirmatlon of doctrine on points IN
volyed in that case, as reclted In the
dispatches yesterday morning
It will be remembered that something
like year ago, the New York Presby'
terry had before it three candidates for
the ministry whose answers as to GER
tain points were so different from those
usually expected of candidates for the
ministry, that considerable attention
was attracted throughout the country
to their case. Two OF, those candidates
were ordained later on, and the ordi-
nation was sustained by the synod Of
New York. This was objectionable to
the Reverend Henry b. Elliot aud 9TH
ers, who brought the case before the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church, recently in session at Atlantic
City That body dealt with the case
in a straightforward, vet liberal man
ner
The complaint averred that the can
didates "refused TO affirm their faith
in the inspiration and supreme authori-
ty Of the holy scriptures; IN the virgin
birth OF our Lord; in tho truth of st.
John S account of raising Lazarus from
the dead and in the actual bodily res
direction of Christ The respondents
denied these averments, and affirmed
the contrary on all points. They had
not denied the virgin birth Of our Lord,
but were not prepared to affirm it with
the same positivencss as some other
doctrines; that their hesitation on the
doctrines indicated an unfinished con-
ception of the subject rather than any
positive disbelief.
The committee of the General AS
sembly which considered the case made
a complete and candid statement Of the
whole matter. insisting upon the impor
tant points brought forward and upon
the lmpossibility of the church allow
ing any wide departures from the faith
as heretofore held and inculcated, aver
ring that if the contention or the com
plainants in respect to such radical de-
parture had been proved, there would
have been no doubt but that the action
of the synod must be reversed. But the
committee concluded that the aver
meut had not been proved, it is not
shown that the candidates named have,
In fact, denied or seriously questioned
the doctrines specified. The 6rst ex-
aminations of them in April Of last
year were largely oral. Two months
thereafter a second examination, wholly
oral, was held. No record Is maue of
this second examination. but it was so
satisfactory that the majority Of the
Presbytery were changed from not sus-
tanning to sustaining The candidates.
On the record as presented, there
fore, the committee was unable to find
that the synod had erred. and, accord
ingly, reported against SUSTAINING the
