S. F. Chronicle on third party
platferm: Tho defect in tho plat
form Is that it is not open and above
board as to matters which are reo
oeuized as real national Issues or
that it omits them altogether from
consideration. The subject of inter
nal revenue is not mentioned, nor is
the matter of freedom and purity of
elections. The demand vfor govern
mental control of railways is put in
tho alternative, so that it may mean
something or nothing. The matter
of tho tariff is left untouched, unless
it is to be implied from section 5, and
such questions as the payment of
tho national debt and the public
school system are wholly ignored.
.An Honest Heretic.
(tVepiirrd for tlio JotMNAU)
The resignation of Rev. Dr. Brldg
ninti, pastor of tho Madison Avenue
Baptist Church, of New York city,
bus excited considerable interest, and
led to much editorial comment,somo
wi?e and some unwise. Dr. Brldg
man has adopted certain views of
future punishment, which are not in
barmouy with tho general sentiment
on that question among Baptists.
Although bound by no written creed,
and subject to no ecclesiastical
superiors who might prosecute him
him for heresy, theeminout preacher
lias very cummendubly announced
Ills change of convictions and re
signed his charge. Many of the
members of tho church which he
has served so long and faithfully,
believing that his present opinions
are not sufficiently divergent from
concensus of belief in the denomi
nation to warrant his seperation from
his bretheru have urged him to
withdraw his resignation, but the
Dr, has very sensibly, wo believe,
decided to adhere to tho course thus
fur pursued. His action has been
kindly received by the leading men
among the Baptists, as tho following
utterances will show. Bays the
New York Examiner, tho leading
Baptist paper, in a recent issue.
Tho resignation of Rev. Dr. Bridg
man is a manly act. Conscious that
lie had como to hold views regard
ing future retribution that has never
found favor among Baptists, ho was
not willing to divide his church or
to become a subject of. deuomi
natinal controversy. His retire
ment was tlio logical, thoconslstant,
the Christian conduct that ought to
be the rule in all such cases. Every
man, ordained as well as uuordained,
has an unquestioned and unquest
ionable right to Interpret the scrip
tures for himself, and to avow fear-
IpbsIv the results of his study. If
the result is to lead him to conclu
sions that seem to his brethren
strange and even erroneous, no mat
terho has the same right to his
belief that thev hove to theirs. But
to one thing he has no right; and
that is, after his views have thus
undergone change, to remain in aw
official position aud undermine
beliefs that ho has solemly vowed to
teach and defend." Rev. Dr. Bur-
rage of Zions Advocate, Portland,
Maine, says concerning the same
matter. "A minister should be
honest with himself and with his
neonle. If he has accented views
which are at variance with
generally accepted views of our
churches, ho should use his liberty,
quietly withdraw and seek a field
where by his preaching ho can build
up and not tear down. Accordingly
it seems to us that Dr. Bridgman
has done right in resigning the pas
torate of the Madison Avenue
church." No word has been said to
denote anything but the kindest
appreciation of the great services of
Dr Bridgman. Ho goes out from
the church which he has so nobly
served with love and respect of every
man in it whose love and respect
are worth the, haying. Is it not
far better that he should thus go out
than that ho should take advantage
of a position into which he was
called while professing other views,
and seek to tear down what ho was
called to build up?
There should be nothiug incom
patible between heterodoxy and
honesty, yet when men who are
high in authority and influence in
orthodox churches, inbist upon re
taining their positions after having
adopted views radically divergent
from the views which they first
nrofessed. tho views through which
they attained their high postions, is
there not encouragment for the
view that laxity of belief begets lax
ity of word and deed. We com
mend the example of Dr. Bridgman
to every man who flndB himself out
of harmony with general principals
of tho chuch whose doctrines he
professes to believe.

SEEKING REVENGE.
London May 20. Tne latest uews
from Africa has caused much excite
ment, both in London and Lisbon.
A dispatch from the latter city states
that tho war feeling is again upper
most, and that tho people aro clam
oring for revenge upon tho British
South Africa Company. This, for
tho moment, has diverted atteution
from the financial crisis, which
makes it impossible for Portugal to
make any formidable warlike
demonstration. The English au
thorities are preparing to give a
stunning reception to the two emis
saries from tho powerful African
king, Gunguuhema, whoso terri
tories are chiefly within tho
bounds claimed by Portugal. Gun- '
gunhema asks for British protection
and declares that he wants to have
nothiug to do with tho Portugese.
Ho is a brother-in-law toLobeugulu,
king of tho Matabeles, who sent a
similar embasy to England some
time ago, and was so astonished at
the report brought back of the
glories of Windsor castle and Lon
don that he did not believe them,
aud ordered them to be baked alive,
from which fate they were saved by
an English missionary who con
vinced the king that they told the
truth. The missionary was horri
fied to learn later that tho king had
caused two of his slaves to bo sub
jected to tho fate intended for his
emissaries, on tho ground that, hav
ing given his word, somebody must
perish.
AT BieNTE CAHLO.
London, May 20. It was a lucky
day for tho managers of the Monte
Carlo casino, when, in studying
how to avoid being bled by journal
istic blackmailers, they hit on tho
plan of devoting a part of tholr ill
gotteu gains to tho formation of '
what Prince Bismarck would have
called a "routilo fund," for tho
purpose of subsidizing the purchas
able press iu their interest. Since
that time tho world has been
edified from time to time by circum
stantial accounts of the most tre
mendous runs of luck on the part of
frequenters of tho Monte Carlo
tables, and winnings have been re
ported as of common occurrence
sufficient to break the bank, though
It had been backed by tho Rotohs
chllds. That these ingenious baits
have been swallowed is apparent
from tho increased attendance at the
salons, Tho latest story of tbo kind
was to the effect that the Duchess of
Montrose had loft Monto Carlo
richer by $250,000 francs than she
arrived there. Following up this
came a rush to the famous gambling
place, tho crowds being larger than
ever known there before. The re
ceipts of the bank in the past month
have been something fabulous, and
as one result there havo been no less
than seven suicides of ruined play
ers since the first of May. Tho last
self-murder to be recorded is that of
a Bavarian banker, who is said to
have lost a million francs of his own
and his clients' money.
FROM RUSSIA.
St. Petersburg, May 20. Grand
Duke Michael, uncle of tho emper
or, Is about to retire from tho office
of president of tho council of state.
Tho grand duko is tho father of
tho young Michael whose marriage
to tho Countess of Morerabcrg, with
out tho consent of the czar, has
caused so much trouble iu the im
perial family. Since tho death of
his wife, the Graud Duchess Olgu,
probably by poison, tho graud duko
has shown but little interest iu af
fairs of state: During the gorgeous
funeral, by wnloh the czar tried to
make up In some degree for his
harshness to the late grand duchess,
Michael, was hardly able to totter by
the side of the czar. He has ever
since been iu a conditltlon of an
guish, half bordering on insanity.
In retiring from the council ho takes
from that important body the chief
influence in favor of liberal meas
ures, and leaves the reactionary ele.
ment in control. The Grand Duke
Vladimir, eldest brother of the czar,
will succeed to the presidency. Ha
is a pronounced Panslavlst, a hater
of tho Jews, and even more of a
Russian than tho czar himself.
