THE TRIAL OF Hit. BItIGOS.
The New Vork Presbytery is engaged
in the trial of Hev. Charles A. Briggs for
heresy, that eminent divine having ex
pressed some doubt as to tbe verbal lu-
spiration of the Scriptures.
According to the New Vork Herald,
Dr. Briggs “is greatly respected as a
scholar and loved as a man; has led a
holy life, without the suspicion of a sus
picion or the shadow of a shadow. He
accepts the BIblo as his rule for to-day,
and his authority for a hope in the to
morrow. But whether Inspiration ex-
tends beyond the substance of the book
to its language Is a matter which he
thinks should he left to the careful and
thoughtful student.”
Under such conditions. Dr. Briggs is
doubtless a very good man, and may be
a sincere Christian. But the question Is,
is lie a good Presbyterian ?
That is where ail the preachers who
figure in trials for heresy seem to make
their mistake. They diverge from the
orthodox teachings of the particular
sect to which they profess allegiance and
seem to expect the sect to go with them.
They consider themselves reformers
and make a great outcry when tboy are
held up as heretics.
Martin Luther was a great and good
man, and by the Protestant world it is
considered that he accomplished a great
work. But from a Catholic point of
view Luther was. a heretic, and it would
be very ridiculous if it wore insisted that
bo was a good Romanist.
Dr. Briggs has a right, of course, to
question the verbal inspiration of tbe
Bible, but he ahouid know that in doing
so he contradicts the canon, of his'
church, and he lias no right to remain a
minister of that church unless lie can
conscientiously preach its doctrines.
He is unquestionably a heretic in his
attitude towards the Presbyterian
church, and his plea of not guilty is ab
surd.—Ago Herald.
Rvdiki is cooling down. His latest
utterance docs not indicate war, but
give* os to understand that the Italian

Tue one good thing accomplished by

Jones, of St. Louis, Is receiving the
attention of the press of the whole

complimentary. Ills attacks on Judge
Crisp may bring him fame, but it is not
the kind to arouse honest pride.
Mbs. Martin, who is on trial for her
life at Birmingham, for killing her
brother-in-law, has already aroused the
sympathy of the publio, and the indica
tions point to a verdict of not guilty.
It is against the law to hang a pretty

The mayor of Msmphis told Mr. Har

known socialist to settle the question of
the election. While Bismarck got near
ly twice as many votes as his socialist
opponent, he failed of a majority of all
tbe votes cast. He sat back on liia dig
nity and refuted even to isaue an address
to tbe voters; bcnce, with Democratic in
dependence, tber refused to turn out to
the polls.

Tiik Cincinnati Enquirer contains a
detailed account of the process by which
James Storroy, of Kansas City, will
manufacture eggs under a patent pro
cess that will leave the lion nothing to
do but to cackle. Mr. Storrcy’s process
is very simple, and yet lie is prepared to
manufacture an artificial egg that a con-
noissuer will find it difficult to distin
guish either In appearance or taste from
the prime product of a Plymouth Ityck
or Leghorn. Lime, water, blood, milk,
tallow, peas and one or two other vege
tables are the ingredients of bis com
pound. The shell and the yolk will not
be difficult of manufacture. To make a
good Imitation of the “white” qf tho
egg is the part that has required the
most ingenuity to conquer, but Mr. Stor-
rey has succeeded in solving the prob
lem successfully. Tests have been made
which show that the artificial ogg can
be preserved for a month under proper
conditions, and still taato as fresh as one
laid by an ordinary hen. As all the in
gredients of this reform egg are exceed
ingly cheap, it can be manufactured at
the rate of about three cento a dozen.
There will be no limit to the capacity of
the novel mill, and families and board
ing house keepers can be supplied at
prices so dazxllngly smalt os to warrant
immediately popularity.
OtlR TAX BATE.
There is no question that more vital
ly affects the prosperity of our city than
the rate of taxation. A low rate of mu
nicipal taxation is a standing invitation
to people to come into our midst and
invest, while an unduly high rate is re
garded with suspicion as indicating had
management or extravagance.
Tiie time has come when a note of
alarm must bo sounded in Americus,
and the article of “Tax Payer” elsewhere
this morning is quite apropos, and com
mends itself to tbe sense and good
judgment of every citizen of Americus.
To meet the issue squarely it might as
well be said plainly that our rate ol tax
ation is too high by J to j of one per
cent.
Americus cannot continue to prosper
with a tax rate of 1.45, and the sooner
we meet this issue the better.
People here witli money will not
build houses to pay taxes on at a rate
much higher than the income would
justify, and above that of other cities;
and outsiders will stay where they are
and invest in other places where taxes
are lower.
Tbe tax rate ought to be materially
reduced; can it be done, and if so, how?
The Tihes-Recordkii calls attention
to this very important question for the
purpose of eliciting the views of tbe tax
payers, and getting suggestions as to the
remedy. What say such large tax pay
ers as Messrs. Johnson & Harrold,
Thornton Wheatley, J. W. Sheffield <fc
Co., C. M. Wheatley, E. J. Eldridge, and
scores of others none the less interested
because their holdings are smaller?
Shall our taxes be reduced? If so,
how?

The South must beglu at once to pre
pare for tiie Chicago Exposition. Never
before has such an opportunity been
offered to outdo the rest of the world in
a display of its natural resources. It
must be remembered that the South will
bare to compete with tho finest exhibits
that money can secure from the North
western and Western states, from Mex-
ioo and from Central and South America.
It will be a critical time in the South'!
history. Shall Its vast mineral, timber
and agricultural wealth be adequately
represented, or will the South (ail to
measure up m its opportunity? What
are the leaden in Southern development
doing? What are the states, the towns,
the railroads of the South going to do?
Ills time to act. It Is reported that one
man in Idaho will spend *50,000 of his
own money to exhibit the natural wealth
of that Territory. Who in the South
will follow his example?—Manufactur

The Manufacturers’ Record of this
week contains a long and elaborate re
view by Robert P. Porter, superintend
ent of the consus, of the industrial and
agricultural progress of the South dur
ing tbe last ten years, based on the offi
ciai statistics of tiie census. Supt. Por
ter at the beginning of his articlo, refer
ring to tlio wonderful progress of the
South during the last decade, Bays: “The
mineral development and increaso in
manufactures during the period lias
boon of such importance as to seriously
attract the attention of the world. The
South is to-day producing as much coal,
iron ore and pig iron ns the entire United
States did in 1870. Witli a fact like this
established by official statistics, it is not
to be wondered at that as careful a sta-
tician as Edward Atkinson should say
that, standing on top of tiie highest
peak of tbe Great Smoky mountains, he
would find in a radius of seventy-five
miles the future iron producing center
of the Unitod States. Those who live in
the South and In the midst of all this
progress know it and realize it better
than the people here in tiro North. To
my mind the progress of the Southern
states in the manufacture of stool will bo
as groat during tiie next ton years as it
has been in the production of coal and
pig iron daring tiie past decade.”
A learned savant of Columbia col
lege, New York, lias been earning his
salary by an investigation of the occult
relation existing between tho rod-lieadod
girl and the white liorso, and he readies
tho conclusion that no sucli connection
exists as is so generally maintained, but
he oxpiains tho coincidence by saying
that white horses aro sufficiently numer
ous to supply every city and town in the
country with one for each block. But
the learned doctor fails to explain why
it ii, that though white horses may be
ever ao numerous, not one will be seen
for hours unless a red-headed girl turns
up. If this a fair specimen of the pro
duct of higher education, it Is not 'to*be
wondered at that collegiate education is
getting to be rated below par. College
professors must solve the compound
problem of white horse and red-headed
girls, or resign. Tbe march of scientific
discovery must not be oheeked by the
decompoeiag remains of such men as the
Columbia professor being left In the
highway, to make the white horse shy,
when he Is in duty-bound to come along
and meet the girl of his affinity as she
turns the corner.
Kki’I'Lbii’h cartoons in Puck, it Is
said, have offended Emperor William,
and tho police have received orders to
prevent the circulation of the paper in
tho German Empire. Keppler has been
in tbe habit of spomiing his summers in
GermSuy. but lie is likely to give the
Fatherland n wide berth this year, be
cause tbe Emperor has a way of making
it unpleasant for Germans who como to
America and poke fuu at him, and then
have the temeiity to return to their
native land.
