Auousta, (1a, May 24.—The evolution
discussion occupied to-day in the Presby-
I terian general assembly. I>r. O. t). Arm
strong advocated the committee report in
i a logical speech. He said this church
should remain close to her anchor of form
ulated creed. Her standard of belief was
not to ho fettered with private or
i personal interpretations. He condemned
Woodrow’s theory as dangerous. He de-
1 dared that the Presbyterian church al-
! lowed wide liberty, but would not tolerate
a mischievous error like this. Itr. Arm-
| strong said he believed the book of Guilts!.,
: was the historical account of the creation,
' and that the garden of Eden had a distinct
I geographical position.
l)r. Woodrow replied this afternoon in a
two-hours’speech. He begged the church
| not to make any positive deliverance
upon the story
if the creation of man.
The church had generally erred when it
preached upon the reservation of scient
ists. Was the church never to learn
anything? Dr. Woodrow declared that i cino
the scriptures did not pretend to teach ids- -
lory, geography or science. Dr. Arm

Situation (ii'in'i'ftl 1).
It seems that it Is a hard matter for the
people to come lo a clear understanding ;ls
to how the candidates stand on the ques
tion ni the railroad commission. At Sparta
the other day the editor of the Sparta Ish-
niaclitc propounded tlu.se two questions to
the two candidates:
“1. Du you favor the enactment of a law
preventing railroad pooling in Georgia?”
Do i on endorse Major Campbell Wal
lace as railroad commissioner?”
These questions were presented with the
request that they be answered during the
del.at
tlie answers received :
"Major Bacon answered the first of the I
questions evasively, leaving the unavoid
able impression that he favors the railroad
pool. In reading aloud the second ques
tion, lie omitted tlie last t lu ce words, null:- |
jug it appear that we hud asked the silly :
I'Ut'Slion whether or not lie indorses Major
Campbell Wallace as a man. After some;
persistence we elicited I he fact I hnl he and
the Islimai'lite are on different lines on tlie
railroad commission question.
"(Jeneral Gordon promptly and frankly
a.ai mined his opposition lo railroad pool
ing, and all other sort of pooling, and ftillv
indorsed tlie record of Major Campbell
Wallace as railroad commissioner.
“Ma jor Bacon, (’aplaiu Kamil, the Macon
Telegraph, anil all tlie railroads endorse
the commission theory; hut it requires a
friend of the letter anil spirit of the com
mission law and ofthe purposes for which
the law was enacted, to endorse Major
Wallace’s record as railroad commissioner.
(Icncral (Jordon did it. The questions
were asked fur information, and acting on
the information gained, the writer has no
other holiest alternative but to favor his
i andidacy.
“It is a small matter whether this course
puts us iu the big ‘ring’ or the little ‘ring.’
The Ishmaelite doseivt stop to count noses
in tiie luce of considerations of public
duty.”
W11AT IS THK ISSUE?
The Enquirer Sun has all the time
held that outside of a personal preference
there is no great issue or principle at stake
in tiie present campaign. The Atlanta
Constitution in a strong partisan of General
Gordon, and virtually admits it in tlie fol-
i wing from a stuff correspondent:
“Each candidate lias made the resigna
tion of the other the leading issue. As to
this, it was noticed that, in Eatonton and
Sparta, .Major Bacon became very angry
allusion to lii:- resignation, and was tlireat-
i iiiiio in his replies. The indications were
that lint one or two more meetings would

day. in Lexington, the policy is suddenly
changed, and it is decided tlint the matter
be taken in the utmost good humor. This
is In lii veil to lie tlie result of a conference
w ith anil by the advice of Augusta friends
the night before.
On ail matters of state interest the views
of both virtually agree. General Gordon
charges, however,that his opponent's ) si
turn on the railroad commission is not us
fully expressed nor as firm as his own.
The former is in lavor ol the commission
“as it is. ' and the latter “if it is properly
conducted.”

mg, in my opinion before.the people. He I will be begun at once. Preparations have

request undertook to remove a stricture.
Preller was the consenting party to the use
of chloroform, and the case wps one which

Washington, May 23.—“I am glad the
president is going to bring a wife to the

societys queen this afternoon. “It will
settle several social questions that are not
in dispute but m abeyance. Miss Cleve
land’s position has not been a pleasant one
for her, and I am not surprised that she
says she looks forward to her liberation
without regret. She is a- woman of real
force, however. Had she not been she
would have been crowded aside as the first
lady of the kind long ere this. It Is an
open secret that, had Mrs. Hendricks been
so disposed, there were strong friends be
hind her who would have pushed her for
ward as the social dictator of the nation.”
“Do you mean that there would have
been two rival social courts in this capital
city?” I asked.
“That’s just what I mean,” was the an
swer. "Fortunately for herself Mrs. Hen
dricks had neither the taste not' backbone
for such a Mieial coup. Her friends, to
whom the president's clever sister was
then a vague tradition, saw a brilliant op
portunity tn completely overshadow the
executive mansion. There may liave been
a trace of polities in the matter, but if
there was it was not openly spoken of.
Mrs. Hendricks, however, was not cast in
the mould of fashion, and she had the good
sense to comprehend the fact.”
“Not a Lady Blessington or Mine, de
Stae)?”
“Not in any sense, She is a most esti
mable woman, but thoroughly domestic in
her feelings. She would rather lie assured
by actual observation that the boards of
her kitchen floor are scrubbed with tlie
grain than to know that she was the best
artssed woman in Washington. I was at
an evening party with her once, and with
my own ears heard her excuse herself,
after a half hour’s stay, in these words: ‘I
have a very sick cow, and feel that no
place of duty is at her side.’ When I was
consulted about the proposed social up
heaval I told the story of the sick cow, and
it settled the matter,”
“Did Miss Cleveland rise to the occa
sion?” I inquired.
“Indeed, she did,” was the prompt re
ply. “She scented the plot with a wo
man’s keen instinct, or, as is more prob
able, some traitor in the camp of the
schemers went over to the enemy. Under
stand me. Mrs. Hendricks never consent
ed to the intrigue. Miss Cleveland lost no
time in giving a reception, to which she
invited nearly all the members ofthe social
cabal that had planned her overthrow, and
before they separated she had impressed
nearly every woman that she was indeed
mistress ofthe white house.
“If tlie vice-president’s wife had been a
beautiful and brilliant woman, like Mrs.
McDonald, Mrs. Ricketts or Mrs. Ilearst,
for example, a bold clash for leadership
might have been successfully undertaken.
It was certainly an opportunity. But do
mestic economy and social regality do not
go hand in hand. Miss Cleveland has done
well—better than most ladies could have
done—but that she has observed a coldness
among the old clique of women who have
ruled Washington in the past is undenia
ble. There is one question now agitating
many a woman’s breast in this town.”
“And that is?”
“Will they capture Frankie when she
becomes mistress of tlie white house?
Watch, and you’ll see something interest
ing when she arrives. If the dear girl is
susceptible to the interested but shrewdly
disguised flattery of her own sex, she wifi
be putty in the hands of a few social lead
ers who already reckon on a restoration of
the pomp and splendor that characterized
the days of the early presidents. I predict
that they will fail, but it’s well enough to
try. It will give its something to ’ talk
about.”
