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.

Can't Satisfactorily Revise Confession.
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

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.
