There is righteousness about the topics
chosen for consideration in the pulpits this
day that is not always so apparent DR.. Deems,
who is always on the Gospel track. takes up
this morning the subject of conversation-not
the frivolous or filthy conversation that SO
many indulge in and which is condemned in
tue Scriptures-not that, but conversation that
becometh the Gospel of Christ. There can be
no question that if such conversation should
become largely prevalent among us the tone
Of society would be greatly improved. And if
DR.. Deems can SO change or modify the
thought of the community in this regard he
will render great service to it. But such
change or modification can come mainly, if
not only, through q contemplation of Christ
in all the characteristics of His varied expert
ence and life Two of those characteristics
will be considered to-day by DR.. Samson, of
Harlem-namely, Christs humility and His
greatness-and it will be shown also by the
Doctor that the claims Of Christ were Just,
ard that Nicodemus recognized them IN his
conversation with Jesus.
The rejection of Christ and its consequences
will be considered this morning by DIR. Full
ton, of Brooklyn, who will in the evening
elucidate the doctrine of the modern Jezebel
and describe Its fascination and its peril.
What the peculiar doctrine is to which the
Doctor may speak must be gathered
from the discourse rather than from
the Scripture history of that bad woman who
was both covetous person and murderess,
and good many doctrines or truths might
be drawn from her history and character
DR.. ID. II. Miller, whose life was so recently
jeopardized for his defence of tho Bible as
schoolbook, is to speak this morning in sup
port of free pulpit and free press.
DR.. McGlynns lecture in Yonkers, on the
PHILOSOPHY and Poetry of the Confessional"
will, no doubt, be one well worth listening
to, considering the ability of the lecturer and
the importance of his theme.

be no doubt of the tr1th. What the country
sees is gathering of lawyers consultation
after consultation" one eminent advocate
called in after another, secret, irresponsible
tribunal in session, the affectation of extraor-
binary secrecy, as though the American
people were the enemies Of Mr.. Beecher and
anxious for his destruction. Now, with all
respect to the Bar, the public mind is not dis
! posed to look with enthusiasm upon any case
that requires half dozen lawyers to con-
struct. If Mr.. Beecher's statement is of such
character that ''the best legal talent of
New York and Brooklyn is necessary to perfect
it then it will never satisfy the people. There
has never been time since God made truth
telling the supreme commandment when truth
speaking was more necessary than in the case
of Mr.. Beecher. He knows the truth. No
man on this earth knows better how to write
or speak it in such way that it cannot be
mistaken. BY the truth he must stand or fall.
Why, then, does he not speak?
The country grows impatient with this sub
ject, not merely because it is an offence to the
moral sense but because the investigation
does not lead to the discovery of the truth.
In this, as in all things, the simplest way is
the easiest and most direct. Ii Mr.. Tilton
wants to establish his case why does he not
enter upon some legal proceeding that will en-
able him to do SO? The public wearies of
these charges and counter charges. We do
not want to hear what one side or the other
will say. We revolt from the carrion feast to
which Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her flock
Of ravens are hurrying, We are impatient
with the fragmentary ''interviews" of eager
reporters. Let the matter 90 into court and
not crowd into the papers through columns Of
silly twaddle. If this is not done then we
should be disposed to consider Mr.. Beecher as
the victim of conspiracy to blackmail,
and advise that Mr.. Tilton be arrested
for defamation of character. If MIR. Til
ton does not bring his suit then Mr..
Beecher has no resource but to have
him arrested for defamation. 1t is no longer o
church scandal, the quarrel of utual admira-
ton fanatics and enthusiasts, but subject
affecting society and moras, and interesting
TO every citizen who cares for the good name
of his fellow citizens, and who sees no disturb
ance of the peace so grave as controversy
like this, which brings sorrow to millions,
leads to reproach upon Christianity, destroys
faith in human nature and justifes the scorn
and contumely of the wicked, who would tell
us that in this world there is neither honor,
virtue nor charity.
We trust when another Sunday comes we
shall have an end Of the present suspense and
sorrow. If Mr.. Beecher is innocent then let
that fact be made manifest If he is guilty
we cannot know the sad truth too soon. This
suspense and uncertainty is cruel injustice
to him and to all who hope, even against
hope, that the truth may bring him a joyous
vindiCation

GENUINE RECONSTRUCTION. have no
better news from the South than publication
IN the Galveston CiUlian to the effect that Texas
will produce this year between five and six
hundred thousand bales of cotton. The editor
thinks that as Galveston has better market
than st. Louis and as good one as New Or
leans nine-tenths of the crop will come to its
port for shipment We trust his anticipatons
may be realized. Texas must become a great
State, and it would not surprise us to see her
attain prominence, as q rich, inviting and
fertile Commonwealth as marked as that of
California. Texas suffered very little from the
war. In fact the war was really benefit to
her, Just as it was to California. True recon-
struction will come with such crops of cotton
as the Ciuann reports. The hoe and the
plough are of more value now as elements of
political renovation than the rife or the ballot
or the Ku Klux mask. This has been learned
in Texas, and we wish it could be initiated il
the Carolinas and Arkansas.

"a FIRE BOULEVARD. Chicago, which
seems disposed to learn by the experience of two
great fires, now proposes to build what is called
fire boulevard. The suggestion, as explained
by the Chicago Tribune, is "that a belt of ter
ritory of the width OF block, running west
from the lake TO Ashland avenue, and thence
north, should be purchased by the city and
set apart as peoples park and boulevard,
forming at the same time one of the greatest
possible projections against and preventives of
the spread of fire that can be devised" Such
boulevard the Tribune says, will be built in
twenty years. 1t will form barrier beyond
which fire could not extend, and, more than
all, the editor adds ct will penetrate the
most thickly settled portions Of the city, CIV
ing breathing space and relaxation to multi
tudes who are now confined to the crowded
tenements and narrow streets where they live.
In few years this park, planted with trees,
will be not only o place of healthful recrea-
ton, but will be an ornament to the city
beyond comparison with any other public i'm
provement In point Of necessity as a sanitary
measure, and as On all-sufficient barrier
against fire, its value is not to be computed in
dollars and cents
