Religious Tilt About WOmen's Rights.
The Independent accuses the Observer Of "raking
in the mud like scavengers'' for words dropped by
persons who have right to speak for the women's
rights movements. The Observer rolls the sweet
observation under its digniied tongue and remarks
as follows upon women's rights generally
Let the doctrines OF the Independent and OF Mrs.
Stanton become the ideas OF the State and the re-
sultlng legislation WILL OF course, convert the COM
munty into something far worse than the polygamy
OF salt Lake City. 1t will rather resemble the sand
witch Islands before the Gospel. where the caprice
OF each individual was the only law of marriage.
frown upon these enemies OF marriage. They
are enemies or women. The poor lost sisters of
shame are too often despised OF women; but har-
lots are not half so despicabe as those women and
men who teach that the marriage tie should be
sundered at the caprice Of the parties Better lar
to make it liable to be broken at pleasure.
The Eadependent asks why, like scavengers, we
rake In the mud for words dropped by persons VINO
have no right speak for the women's rights move
mentn We trust that by ''raktng'' among its own
uttcrances ana Mrs. Stanton's we have found those
wllU are entitled to speak for the movement. And
we know that Mrs. Walker, who Is called by the
Independent ..halr crazy SAID nothing more IRA
tonal and lcentoas than the Independent and MRS.
Stanton and many Others Of the same school say
continually. II Mrs. Walker IS half crazy the rest
ought to be put into straight jackets.
The King of Prussia and the Society Islands.
Presbyterian clergyman In the South expresses
the wish in private letter that "the King Of Prus
STA would insist the withdrawal or the so-called
French Protectorate from the Society Islands In The
Pacific, which Is in fact, nothing but violent usur-
patton and the imposition OF Papal yoke ON the
people, with exclusion Of English Protestant mis-.
sionaries, through whose labors those islands had
been converted from idolatry."
II this result could be accomplished, thinks the
friends Of missions all over the world and If an ei-
| fort in this direction promised any success we
doubt not that the London Missionary Society would
| press the matter most earnestly with the proper
| authorities.
