DECEMBER U, 1001. The Tijltnan-MoLniirin fi^ht in on again. TIiTh lime the theatre, of their differences linn shifted Ifrom the hustings in Bouth CnfoJinn to the United States Senate. MeLaurin began the fight nnew Monday afternoon l?y complaining to the senate that he had not bepn invited to qtlend the cuirtiH of the Democratic senators, ami as a consoquence wonld not be appointed in membership upon any of the lenate committees? a very inconPistcnt complaint, in view or the fact that be openly stated diping the last session of Congress that he would not participate in tl)Q Democratic caucuses, and that lie die] not wish to be invited to attend. He arose to a question of personal privilege and stated that there was h conspiracy to discredit him in {South Carolina, and that he was being humiliated. This brought Senator Junes ( Ark.),chairman of the Deuioprutic national committee, tp hig? feet, and he denied that lie had any ulterior motive in not inviting MeLaurin to attend the Democratic caucus. {Senator Jones' statement brought fortli from Senator Tillman a review of the whole controversy between MeLaurin and himself. In the course of his remarks Tillman said that "this conspiracy is a dream oonjured up by him. It is the creation of his own brain." In conclusion, Mr. l|?illman adjured his Democratic polloagues not to fret about the pharge that they were conspiring to discredit Mclauriu at home, because "liis crowd was demoralised, cowed and whipped." MeLaurin t.h#?n dared that he was willing to meet y Tillman at any place for a discqsgf cussion of the issues between them. * Thereupon Tillman challenged McLuurin to resign with him on the spot. McLaurin made no reply. Senator Hoar (Mass.) then took the floor ami expressed tho opinion that tho resignations sent to Gov. McSweeney by the South Carolina senators last spring still hold good. The speech of McLaurin, which occasioned the clash between Tillman and himself, was perhaps the the most pen rile ever delivered on the floor of the senate.

Commenting editorially npon tlio vtrqrk. of ttyq committee (now in session lit Washington, D. C.) appointed by the Northern Presbyterian general assembly to revise the Westminster Confession, tho New York Suq says: Like previous attempts to revise tho Westminster Confession which have been made of recent years no revision possible for this Washington commit tvo to make will be satisfactory. That ancient standard of faith is so logical and so perfectly adjusted a system that reasonable men like the theologians on this committee will soon discover that they cannot change essentially any one doctrine without destroying the integrity of the whole structure, and, least of all, those very doctrines which, usbeingoffensive to the sensitive or supersensitive spirit of this time, have provoked the present wide spread orv of revision. if the majority of Presbyterians necessary to the adoption of a revised confession d> not believe in the present system of cloctrine, tho Westminister Confession as a whole ought to be set aside, in order to save them from hypocrisy. If they do not believe it, of course, they ought to givo it up and insist on the making of another in which they can believe. Bnt is thero any be lief comniqn to t horn i Aro not many of them rather without any definite theological mid doctrinal convictions, and possessed 'inly of a vague religious sentiment? l^or example, in tho theological schools, in the pulpits and in the news the very postulate on which tho Presbyterian church's reason for exis'once rests, or the uhsolutn truth of the Bible as the inspired Word of God, is rejected as historically and scientiil T flow* SLe^ofta ifustang Uok st what you na?d.

RS & SON. oally untenable. Givo up that dogma and whore is the foundation for the belief in the incarnation or any of the miracles upon which the Christian faith depends? The Westminister Confusion ohirf. out necessarily with the laying of a foundation for its system of doctrine by j declaring that the Hi bio was "given by inspiration from C5od, to be the rule of faith and life;" that all doctrine cau be determined by "no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in the Scripture." How can the Washington committee revise that dogma so as to include also denial of the absolute authority of Scripture, of the "entire perfection thereof," as also proclaimed in the first chapter of the confession ? Here is the slnmbling block before the committee of revision, and it is insurmountable. The impossibility of reconciling the irreconcilable will render vain its efforts at pompromiso.
