EsS- The great Brooklyn scandal case
has made but little progress from last
week. Moulton, it is announced, has
ii In his power to give definite and con-
vincing proof which will set the mat
ter at rest and end the unpleasant sus-
pense. If that is true, it would seem
to be his duty 10 appear before the COM
mittee at once iilton said he would
not do so unless requested by Mr..
Beecher. Accordingly Mr.. Beechcr re-
quested him to go before the committee
and testify. But so far lie has not done
so. Under these circumstances it seems
to be little premature to discuss the
effect of Mr.. Beecher's fall, upon Chris
tianity. OF course If it were the fact
that b ,echer, or DR.. Bacon or President
Porter, or all of them were TO be proved
hypocrites and scoundrels, that fact
would not and could not affect the
truth and reality of practical religion
II would not materially affect the faith
of anyone. The eventual triumph of
the Christian religion over everything
opposing it is an article Of the Chris
tian's faith. Its advance will be meas
ured by the faith and perseverance of
those whose work ii Is to carry forward
the evangelization Of the world. In
this work every true Christian has a
part The true Christian will lose none
of his faith in his religion because his
fellow-workers have proved faithless,
but will endeavor with all the more
earnestness 10 demonstrate to the
world that the men who have fallen do
not prove by their fall any weakness
in the religion they professed, but prove
rather their own weakness.
But we prefer to wait for the issue.
This discussion implies Il prejudging
of the case. The testimony now laid
before the public is nearly all upon one
side. Tilton has put III most of his
case. Beccher's has yet to come. The
people will generally say that one who
has stood so nobly for the right for for
ty years is entitled TO belief when he
asserts his innocence. until il is proved
! TINT he il guilty.

At South Framiugham, Mas. last
Saturday, WIN. A. Bates was tried and
convicted Of brutality beating and starving
his three children, all girls, the two oldest
twins, age ten, and the youngest six years
old, Justice WaterGeld said the case
Yves one he never saw equaled in barbara
ty, that had the Legislature which enacted
the law supposed that case of this kind
would ever have happened, they would
have made the penaly six years instead
of six months. The justice sentenced
Bates TO six months in the house Of cor
rectioD on each charge. Bates appealed.
The sentence gives entire satisfaction to
the citizens.

the threat of pronunciamento This
increasing recklessness of parties COM
