The report was adopted without dll-
cuB«on.
Rev. J. Ilunton of Georgia reported
ftroon the committee on young people's
■wcrk, recommending that churches or
ganise young people's aoclUes to be
under control of 'the churches; that
pastors hold these societies tn closest
sympathy with the work of the South-
«rn Baptist Convention and that Sun

Rev. E. Folk of Nashville, editor of
the Baptist Reflector, wua recognized
by the chair to report from the com
mittee on repreRcutatlou, now two
years old. He stated that the com
mittee had found Itself unable to come
‘to -an agreement upon any point ot
change and It therefore recommended
that the present basis remain and that
the committee be discharged. Th(*.re-
port was agreed to. President Haralson
returned the thanks of the convention
for the very aatlaSactory report,
(Laughlt-r.)
Rev. D. W. Gwyu of Atlanta, Ga„
presented a resolution recommending
the establishment of a repreeentalttve
Baptist mission In Palestine, wilth
.headquarters at Jerusalem. Dr. Ker-
foot suggested that this was largely
u matter of sentiment; that In the ob
servation of those who had been In the
Holy Land, mission work there was
rather overdone as compared with
other flelds and on his moaton the reso
lution was referred to the committee
on foreign missions.
Rev. H. Wayiand Hoyt. D. D., of
Philadelphia, editor of the Examiner,
was introduced to the convention.
The report of G. W. Morton, trea
surer of (the convention, -ws» pre-
fionttd and adopted. It shows that
Ben-y League of Atlanta, On., de
ceased, had by the provisions of his
will, contributed to the general fund
of the convention $623.
On the motion of Secretary Burrows,
Treasurer Morton and the auditor,
D. w. p Harvey, were unanimously
re-elected.
Rev. Dr. C. Manley of South Caro
lina moved to appropriate the funds
contributed by Mr. League for the use
of foreign missions. The motion was
agreed to.
A resolution -was offered by Rev. J.
B. Gambrrtl of Georgia providing for
the appointment of a committee of
seven ito meet with ttje secretaries of
state boards and devise a ..leans for
■bringing the Baptists of the South
Into groalter co-operation for the work
of the Southern Bapitlst Convention.
The neceestty and reason for 'the reso
lution, Dr. Gambrell said, was shown
by the statement that two-thirds of
tthe million and a half members of the
Southern Bapt'st dhuroh gave nothing
to the cause of missions. If the conven
tion 1s to meet facts that face It the
church boards mu»t be placed on a
war footing. _ _
Rev. J. B. Halwthorne, D. D„ also of
Georgia, conceded the benefits to be de
rived from the appointment of such a
committee ae Dr. Gombrell proposed, but
he ohjeoted to statements of facts upon
which be based his request for tt. The
speaker said that as large proportion of
members of the Baptlet church In the
South contributed to missions as of any
other church In the same section. Rev.
S. M. Brown of Missouri ssld that the
published figures misrepresented facts so
far os the Baptises of his Mate were
concerned. Rev. J. N. Prestridge of Ken
tucky moved that the committee, thus
nrovldad for be directed to arrange for
the consolidation Of the rvrvqjn Mis-
sionary Jouinal th? Horn* Field. Thla
gave rise to s desultory discussion, re
sulting In tbs adoption of the resolution
at th? suggestion of Professor tyhltsett.

hour for the Broadus memorial services.

The feature of the evening meeting was
the attack made on the Catholic church
bv one of the Texas members In connec
tion with the report on foreign missions.
The report of the committee on Papal
Helds was submitted hy H. F. Sproles of
Mississippi. The report stated that al
though the work In Maly had met with
great opposition from church and state,
considerable progress had been made.
The workers In Brasil had been particu
larly hinldered by political disturbances
and the opposition of the clergy. The
progress In Mexico had been lees diffi
cult and all of those flelds were able to
report tbrmie'.vee very nearly self-sup
porting. wb«e some of them had already
begun missionary work on their own ac
count. This report wus followed by a
very temperate address by Dr. J. C. HI.
den. Who said that e great trouble with
the sweeping Statement* made against
the. Catholic church was that they did
not sweep clesn. They'were too often
made Ignorantly by men who were more
seslous then well Informed and he coun
selled rational. mWd and constllatory
methods rather than merely denunciation
and epithets.’
"Even on the public school question,"
said he. "I am retry to see no many of
us take the position that the Catholics
are all wrong and tad we are all right."
This moderate speech wee replied to
by n moat vindicative attack on the
Catholic church hy Mr. rtnntlll of
Texas, who said thnt Romanism "a
monstrous lr.stltuttno, a car of Jugger-
ant that had crushed out life and lib
erty In all ages and In all lands.” h

curred, was not In court. Judge talker
of counsel for the prosecution asked i«r
a continuance of the case on the rround
that he expected <o prove collusion be
tween husband and wife. Tho defense
will probably set up a provocation on
the part of Dr. Hlriat which will Justify
Dr. Bcwlng'a action; that Is, his action
was based on information of his wife's
infidelity. The iproeecirtlon Intends to
show that Dr. Sowing was fully aware
of hi* wife's actions; that they were not
of recent day and were known to every
person In Plsquemln# and that there w>e
collusion on the part of wife and hus
band to betray the unfortunate man so

pointed to attend the currency conven

acter of the meeting completely ex

ers. On May 23 the delttgaUlon wttt be
headed by Hon. C. A. Collier, presi
dent of the Cotton State* and Inter

delegate*, among whom are Hon. N.
J. Hatmmond, Judge George Htllyer,
Col. W. C. Glenn, R. J. Lowry, T.
B. iXcel and George R. DeSaursure,
are all men of broad and liberal view*
on the currency question. They are

accept the proposition of free and un
limited coinage at 16 to 1. The entire

Atlanta, Ga., May 11.—Chair "in A.

tral conunkitee will have ar, authorized
Interview In tomorrow'* Constitution
In which he takes stroru' ground In
•strer of the free s-d 'mHmitwt rnln-
"f silver. He I.- In, : tli.it It 1h th--
duty ot ttio Democratic petty to take
Its position In unquallflcd cndorsciileiit
of this policy, anti says that iuere in
no hope for bl-metulllsm to the Repub
lican party. He believes that the finan
cial question will be the overshadow
ing Issue In the next national cam
paign, the Issue being between the ad
vocates of gold and monometallism an
the one efcle and the friends of bi-met
allism on the other. He says that It Is
the duty of this government to at once
restore silver to its proper place as pri
mary money, and agrees theft there can
‘be no return at prosperity In thin
country until this is done. Silver
should be restored, be argues, without
waiting for the non tons of Europe to
act. The only possibility of gold secur
ing at, International agreement. In bin
opinion, is for (his country to flrst take
Independent action, making restora
tion, and the rest will come In good
time.
Chairman Clay talks at some length
upon mutter* of party policy. He Is em
phatic In his refer#nor* to the dishon
esty and unfairness of the "honest”
money talk of the gold monometallism.
Chairman Olay emphasise* tils posi
tion by declaring that tie <« a candi
date for no ofllce, and bis no political
aspiration*. Place silver betide gold,
with the mints open to the free and
unlimited oolnage of boCh metals Oa
primary money, making both <urae
legal tender for the payment of til
debt*—In other words, nator* silver to
th* place It occupied before the de
monetization act of 167$ soys he, and
the questions of radio and of parity
will settle themselves.
"1 do not Insist,” says he, "that there
should be free and unlimited coinage of
stiver If tb* value of the bullion were
to remain at the price It now bolds
In the (ace of all the unfavorable
legislation since 1871, but 1 do Insist
that when stiver Is properly treated
by legislation, and M given the same
rights aud privileges with gold, and la
made primary redemption money, the
stiver bullion will advance In price so
that the silver bullion that goes Into
a dollar will be worth tn the market
te much as the bullion that goes Intn
a gold dollar. Plies It where It was be
fore the Set of 1173, and the demand
for the bullion will be ouch as to mnko
the legal and commercial ratio os it

parity settles Itself. Every true und
loyal Democrat who he* the Interests
of tHfc people at heart owes It to him
self to leave not a atone unturned to
taring about this state of uffalrs. In my

"Intelligent men who favor silver
