they carried into the baseball Held on tho day 0 fore I was very good advice for that WB a fair fight bravely contested and hand Bbinofy and honestlywon But what force i coukl such words have for

without even examining his views or expressing an opinion on them He wanted tl turn him out of his professorship I and put him under stigma a a heretic and yot at the rains time escape from tho neoes te ajlty of controverting his opinions His excuse was that the General Assembly could Dot properly try a cao which was come before the Sos York Presbytery and on future appeal I he General Assembly Itsolf ir lint ho could not turn him out without such I prajnrigmonly without OSBalllng the Union Bomlnarj which had sustained Dr BRIDGe in his teachings 0 Incidentally Dr PATTON argued that tho DetroIt Oencral Aeaciubly alone was able tot yoto tho appointment of Dr Buiaas as the taeotluir to which the matter was first ro 1 tarred But whatever the consequences Christian men must treat with absolute i a brother minister and theologian I Moused or inspected It Baioos la a heretic he ought pronounced a heretic after I fair and full ta at which ho hall 1 havean opportunity heard and not by

declared a heretlo ho will drop out of Presbytorlanlsm a matter of course and there will be no necessity for vetoing his appointment Ho will bo Pres byterlan professor no longer fo ho will not I boa Presbyterian But President PATTON I could not wait for tho operation of thnt orderly procedure Ho wanted get Dr BBIGOS out at once and If ho succeeded In his purpose tho heresy trial might mado unnecessary Ho would hare disposed of tho case of Dr BRIOOS without Investigation Meantime tho Union Seminary which had sustained the professor would undor a dark cloud Isldont PATTOX also took It upon himself Interpret a compact between tho seminary and the General Assembly which wan of doubtful Interpretation at least as ho was obliged confess and although tho General Assembly gained by It a privilege for which It consideration gave no eonsldoraton Is that fair play boys of Princeton 7 I not 1 victory so won likely damage tho Princeton victors more than It hurts the Union Seminary thus defeated 1 The only way knock out Dr Unions Is to have square standart fight and such a light has got to come The tactics ot President PATTON have staved It oft a little but It will all the harder because of the delay Flwt of all say we Dr Bniaas must have a fairfield and fair play The Prince of Wale According to tho Evening Post and hence of course according to tho Aew York Times the Prince of WALE will sufferdangen In English public opinion because It has now been proved legally that ho plays baccarat Tho conservative portion of the English public mid especially tho Nonconformists said tho timing Foal on Tuesday evening havo long boon pained by tho rumors which have been afloat about tho Princes ways of passing his leisure hours and now they aro shamed by Incontostable evidence that tho heir tho English throne gambles The serious mlddlo classes In England remarked tho Times on Wednesday morning have doubtless heard ot and privately deplored for years the Jlghtmlndodnoss of tho holr the throne but now that It has been exhibited In court they feel bound deplore It publicly I will bo seen that the agreement between the two Mugwump journals Is complete and I remarkable extending even tho form of i Its both think I It literary expression They that the gambling of the Prince WALE which before was privately deplored will now deplored publicly and that this public lamentation will hurt hIm badly Yet everybody has known all along that ho gambled Englishman generally gamble including oven many of tho serious mlddlo classes They bet on horse races and they play whist for stakes in pious middle I class households The Prince of WALGSS horse won a victory at tho Doncastcr races during tho very time tho baccarat party wore at Tranby Croft and all England rejoiced over his triumph I therefore the conservative portion of the English public 0 deplore publicly the continuance of his gambling at Mr WILSONS house they will only exhibit their hypocrisy publicly The Prince himself does not seem to have been pained and shamed by what ho did Ho made no secret of It as Sir WILLIAM Gon DON CUMMIXO probably supposed ho would nslst upon doing by preventing the legal irocoedlngs Ho stood up liko a man and a cnowlodged his share In tho game I he had tried got out of the scrape by tho sacrillco of truth and the obllgatlonsof friendship ho would have deserved to suffer in dlrve 8UrOr public cs Imation Ho would have had good reason ashamed of himself But as he did not dodge his duty ho must command the pubic respect and he has preserved his self respect Hence there is nothing to Justify this shal low and hypocritical talk about the Princes laving suffered Irreparable damage from the baccarat case He has rather commended himself the public as a square and plucky man and that Is tho sort of man the people like He Is ready to bear the conso luences of his acts and ho does not pr tend bo a Puritan when really he likes gamble as much tho run of Englishman He has shown that his dotes ation of cheating at cards Is greater than his anxiety escape public criticism and hereby ho disarms the criticism and even turns It into deserved laudation of his man i Iness We doubt not that today the Prince of ALF I 0 more popular man In Eng land than ho was before the trial Tho lamentations of 1 few Baptists of Car larvon and Methodists of Swansea do not express tho general sentiment Probably they do not oven express tho hon est sentiment of those who uttered them Deep down in their hearts they Join with the rest of Englishmen in admiring him tho moro for having braved the ordeal Even Sir WILLIAM GORDON CUMMINO was cheered by tho crowd for the cool audacity with which ho faced his accusers and for tho nerve with which ho went down social death Tho Prince of WALES has como out of the baccarat trial unscathed and stronger than over fo he showed himself I bravo a straightforward and an honorable man Keeping Them In Ignorance I tho managers of thu secret political society known as the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union have any lime to spnre from their labor of reconstructing political economy finance and the science of government ment they

difference that plates tbroo and a halftimes as thick will aow be used and will be fired at by sixInch and eightInch uns A further Interest will be lent to tho trial by the use of some American made projectiles as furnished by the Carpenter Steel Company which is manufacturing them for the Nary Bureau of Ordnance on the Firmlny system Ae a competition in which Americanmade armor guns and shells are employed It will have an unprecedented Importance for this country at least The recently published accounts of tbe results ot last autumns trials of armor plates on the Itusslan proving grounds at
