Evolution and the Synod.
The Georgia Synod has at last dis-
posfid of the evolution theory. By *
vote of 60 to 21 it has decided th»t Dr.
Woodrow must not teach it in Colum
bia Seminary. That aettles it, aa far
aa the Georgia division is concerned.
It must occur to every one that a
secular paper has nothing whatever to
do with a church disturbance. On doc
trinal points only the doctors should
take the floor; but we respectfully sub
mit, without taking sides in this mat
ter, that the theory of evolution is pub
lic property, and no public journal
should stand tamely by and sco such
property wantonly assailed.
*The TsLEGRArn’a opinion is that the
theory of evolution, now so universally
popular as to almost preclude the fill
ing of the Perkins professorship if it he
barred, has not had a fair trial before

Georgia Synod. The wrong aide
haa been forced to furnish the evidence,
and the jury that tried the case was not
competent. Dr. Woodrow has either
broken the laws of his church or he
has not. If he has,why then he should
tried upon specific charges. It
should have been charged that in teach-
_ the theory of evolution, he taught
principles and instilled ideas inimical
the Christian religion. It was his
right to appear before a church court
where form limits the methods of as
sault and where every plan cf attack
may he known in advance. As it is,he
being hauled up before first one and
then another wing of the church, sur
rounded by antagonists and given but
half a chance at best. Wo specify Dr.
Woodrow, because at present he is the
evolution theory.
If he has not broken the laws of his
faith, then no one beyond the direc
tors of the seminary have power to in
quire into his method of teaching
science.
This is a secular view; it is an out
line of the impression made upon the
ontside public.
Tlie theory of evolution has enter
tained and interested the brightest
minds in tbe world for years. It is
still the topic amongst controversialists.
And it may be said that men who be
lieve in and urge it are largely Chris
tians. Prof. LeConte would scarcely
pass for an infidel. If we mistake not
his belief in evolntion is not only
strong, but supplemented, as is Dr.
Woodrow’s, by the belief that there
perfect harmony between science
and religion. LeConte has spent years,
as have his great contemporaries, in
arriving at his conclusions. Our
friends of the Synod have finished in a
week. Granting as we do that they
are men of sense, and by reason of
their profession and its necessary pre
paration far above the avorage in in
tellect, they are still incapacitated to
pass upon the questions embraced in
the theory of evolution. We confess
to a feeling of disappointment at the
result. It has occurred to us that the
Georgia Synod might have said “Dr,
Woodrow may teach evolntion so long
as he teaches it in harmony with the
Bibleor that they might have sub
mitted the whole question to n select
jury of the entire church with instruc
tions to spend years if necessary in its
investigation.
What has been accomplished 7
Nothing. Dr. Clisby outlined tho fu
ture when he said to the Synod:

evolution Is probably (alto but tho word ol

merely lookers on at a great and
heated content, it means little and

If a little blood-letting was necessary
in Louisiana, it should have occurred
much earlier in tbe campaign or have
been postponed until after the election.
Thirgt political are represented not to
be in the best possible condition in
Louisiana. The unwise agitation of
tho tariff at the last session of Con
gress, and the foolish speeches then
and there delivered, have made so
profound an impression upon that State
that she lias taken steps to change her
Congressional representation.
It is held by many that the result of
tho pending election will be exceed
ingly close. There are the usual ru
mors of bribery, fraud, intimidation
and ctfttttptiatt. Some hold that there
is likely to bt trouble about the elec
toral votes of some of tho States. It
will be remembered that the vote of
Louisiana has been once stolen.
We mention these things, not
that we lay any great stress
upon them, but to call attention to the
possibilities that might follow a bloody
outbreak. The bloody shirt is not a
myth in Louisiana. This circumstance
will be brought to the attention of
voters in a way not to its advantage.
If those who have figure out a close
and doubtiul election arc correct, this
accident may exert a powerful influ
ence, and wo regret it.
Bill Jones, who was equally guilty
with Mason, has just been tried by a
civil tribunal and acquitted. We give
this summary of the trial, taken from
the Washington Star:
To-day In the Criminal Court, Judge Wylie,
the case of William Jones, Indicted November
26th, 1881, for an aasault and battery with In
tent to kill Charles J. Gultcau on the 19th of
the same month, waa taken up and tried—Mr.
Coyle prosecuting and Messrs. R. K. Elliot
and R. Ross Perry for the defendant, it was
testified by James Leonard, former driver of
tho van; Perry n. Carton, Jorrat r officer of
the van; Dr. McWlllUm*. Mr. McGuiganand
others that during the trial of Gulteau for the
murder of President Garfield Jones followed
the van to the comer of First and East Capitol
streets and then fired one shot into the van ;
which perforated the side and passed through
the left sleeve of Guite%o'i e^at, Just grasing
his arm. Officer Black testified to the arrest.
James P. VlcTcc-r, of Wythevllle, Va., testified
tbat he heard a man in the mornlug say;
if I can weed him out of there, I'll end. tbe
trial;” in the afternoon saw a man qb
sorrel mare, and saw him gallop r.ftcr the
van; the prisoner looked like the non.
For the defense John J. Shortell testified
that he taw the van on the day in ques
tion and the man on the sorrel horse,
and Is qnlte certain that the -prisoner was not
that man; saw Jones two days afterward in
tho police court and then said he was not the
Immense schools of herring, which
were evidently frightened by dogfish or

Emory Edwards, a consulting engi'
ncer of Baltimore, and author of s
number of atandard works on steam en
gine*, wrote to the Baltimore Sun as
follows;
-Of late years much has been said aboutthe
cheap labor and laborers of Europe, affl of
the necessity of protecting our owl working
people from the competition of such by a
high tariff orslmllsr means. Eitcnsivetravel
every countiy of Europe whllo attached to
the Bulled States navy In an official capacity,
and aclosa observation ot their methods of
manufacture, convinced me that it la the
skilled labor alone that is driving onr manu
facturers and mechanics to tho wall. In spite
tariffs—high or low. Now, this skilled la-
hot of theirs Is due almost, If not entirely, to
tho excellent technical school* established
and generously maintained by the different
natlona. In these school* training of tho eye
and band receives equal attention, and thus
tils that their workmen arc Cited to com
mand the market of tho world. These
marks have been called forth by the gratlCca
lion derives from a visit made to the manual
training school of this city. Hero It was
manifest to me that we have the gfrm of o -e
ot the best technical schools' In tho world.
Though yet In Its Infancy, tho practiced eye
can see clearly and appreciate folly the
marked progress that has been made even In
the short time It haa been In operation; and
It the cltDens of llaltlmoro could aee a frac
tion of tha good that must necessarily accrue
to them and theirs, they would, aa prudent in
vestors, lay broad and drep, by libera' appro
priations, the foundation of an Institution
which will confer Its blessings upon succes
sive generations as they arise.
Commenting en the above the Memphis
Avalanche says: We print elsewhere from
the Baltimore Son some hard common sense
observatl-ns about technical education and
tcchlnal schools. It Is assigned as a reason
why Americans wbo lead the world tn skill
are In due course and according to the law
ot compensation, falling off, that European!
are teaming anew in technical schools. If
they are not absolutely falling In skill tbe
opinion la expressed that they are relatively
declining. Tbla Is doe to tho advance of Eu
rope In technical edncatlon and the growth
of technical schools. As n matter ot fact
American workingmen *r* dally growing tn
skill, hot relatively they are toeing pace be
cause of foreign prosresa.
However this may he. there la no doubt
that tbe crying need of this country to techni
cal edncatlon and acbeoto of the arts and io-
dustrtes. In this respect the Southern states,
tnraany o< those things which promise a great
progress, ahead ofalltheworld.are behind the
whole world. Onr labor to notontgerude snd
raw. bnt we hero not yet recovered from that
insanity or snobbery which regards a license
to the law, medicine or the pulpit, a patent of
nobility, and mercantile punnita next In or
dvr. and all else, at least alt ol the mechanical
pursuits and nits, as at the bottom. These are
good, bnt they are crowded, and the true
prizes are to be fuund In the industrial walks.
To this end—to be eought but not waited for
te hnieal and 'ndustrlst schools ere one of out
chief educational needs.
The Tilxurapii, in bringing this sub
ject before the people of Georgia three
yearn since, abowtel the importance
technical education to onr laboring
people. To compete with the cheap
labor of Europe is impossible, if we
desire to preserve the high standing
labor in this country; but when we
consider that tho cheap labor across
the water haa the benefit of technic
education and inherited tendencies,
D easy to see the dirndvantage under
which we are placed.
Every country may imports common
labor. Its skilled labor can only
obtained by education. Skilled labor
does not emigrate to any large extent.
The subject ia now squarely before
tho people of Georgia. The joflmala
have dealt with its every aspect. The
Legislature has beard it diecuued
well posted men. Its committee haa
visited the workshops of the North and
has accumulated much valuable infor
mation in respect to methods and
salts. There is nowhere in the State
opposition to a movement in favor of
technical edncatlon. Let the law-ma
kers provide means by which itabli
Inga may be conferred npon the people.

TV. R. McCheaney testified to the good repu

Thts closed the testimony, end the counsel
argued the cue.
The jury, after an absence ol twenty min
utes. found a verdict of not guilty.
The verdict of the jury is only
equaled by the neglect of the officers
of the law to put Bill Jones on trial at
earlier date.
The verdict must stand a'ongside

General Brewster, that ail criminal

was no excase for Bill Jones,
but bad as he may be he is a better
and safer citizen than any of the jury
