ATTEMPTED Independent parties al
ways result in giving aid and comfort
TO the Radicals. The reason is Obvi-
Ous-the Radicals stick to their party
aud the Independent vote is made up
of disaffeeted refugees from the oppO-
sition, who mistake reckless Obstinacy
and self sufIiciency, for genuine and in
teliige It independence. He the truly
independent man who prefers country
to party, and in the noble effort TO serve
the former, can rise superior to per-
sonal considerations, disregard minor
points of difference and cooperate
heartily with those who are organized
to give effect to the vital principles aud
measures of which he is the unselfish
advocate. He is not the man 10 OPP
pose a candidate who is right upon the
leading issues, because he may, or may
not, be in favor Of the dog law, or the
funding bill. To do as one pleases,
right or wrong, is not independence,
In the true meaning of the term, but u
reckless disregard Of patriotic duty
and futile effort to establish q reputa-
ton for mistaken manliness.

ADMINISTERING the Sacrament to
Henry G. Bowen by Bcecher, creates
q considerable tanglc in Plymouth
ethics. One or the other has commit
ted perjury, and neither is ignorant
Of the fact. Then if Beecher knows
that Bowen is guilty Of that high crime,
did he not degrade the Sacrament by
administering it to the criminal, and
blaspheme his Savior? On the other
hand, if Bowen knows that Beecher is
perjured, is he not as guilty Of bias
phemy in receiving the sacred emblem.
from the hands of perjured priest
1t is not our business to solve the
problem, but we present it as painful
evidence of the degradation, moral and
religious, of a Church and people
claiming to be the representatives Of
the most advanced Christian civiliza-
ton, the vanguard of a pure and en-,
lightened progress towards celestial
happiness aud the perfection of man
ON earth.

across the bloody chasm." The north
ern division is not willing to rctract. in
explicit terms, the offensive epithets and
false charges applied to the southern
Church during the war, and the south

traction of the false charges and of
fensive epithets.

To SAY that the frauds upon the
people and the stealings of officials
amount to a sum sufficient to pay the
Federal debt, would not be speaking
extravagantly, yet the people have
