Hilton THE ARCHITECT Oh Ills OwN
lNFAMY.-The statement of Mr.. Beecher,
published yesterday, and the sad rovela.
tons of Mrs. Titon given to the world
this morning, ought 10 set forever at rest,
in every candid mind, the abominable
ISLANDERS Of which Theodore Tilton is the
author; but what shall be said Of the
man Tilton himself? He is revealed as
the embodiment Of all the evil passions
which curse human nature, spurred on 10
the accomplishment Of his malignant de-
signs over the spotless character of his
own sensitive, loving wife, over the wreck
and ruin of his own home, over his own
reputation and all the hopes that he
could ever have cherished for standing 10
the esteem of the world. 1t seems hardly
as though the character portrayed in this
thrilling story Of an injured and much
abused woman could be that of human
being, but rather that of fend that had
been made incarnatc to torment himself
and be curse to others. Theodore Til.
tons name and reputation are 10 longer
capable Of defense, and be is the architect
Of his own infamy. 1t is a dark revela.
ton, but Tilton himself has dragged il
before the world. If he had not been
blinded with malice anu passion, be wonld /
have seen that this majestic world"
could not be so easily imposed upon, and
that the truth would vindicate itself and
blast his name forever. 1t were CHART.
able to believe the man insane. but alas
there is too much methsd in his madness.
There is too much evidence of design, OF
coherent plotting, Of persistent working
but of a wicked plan and of dark passions
furnishing the motive and handspring to
the whole diabolical work, lie may be
infatuated and driven on, like Orestes, by
theiuries within him, but there is no de.
thronement Of reason OF weakening OF
The mind. The malGdy is moral. No
matter what Mr.. Beecher may be, Theo.
ioie Tilton has proved what he is, and
The world will accept him as he has re.
vealed himself He threatens vaguely of
other accusations, but he has put himself
but Of court as witness before the great
tribunal Of public opinion. His accusa-
lions will be received as the rawlings of
an approved rerlurer, and his words will
be needed as the idle winds Boston
Globe.
ADDucrING CHILpREN.-Although over
wo weeks have now elapsed since the
title son of Christian Ross was so boldly
abducted from his home in Germantown,
Pa, no clue to his whereabouts has yet
been obtained. The personals in the
Philadelphia Ledger and the anonymous
etters have been continued, but most
'igalent watchfulness has failed to pro.
luce anything that looks like evidence.
The most heartfelt sympathy is expressed
IN all sides for the unfortunate family and
