would never have brought Italy to the peace
full condition Of united people under con-
stitutional monarchy, but it was he who cre-
atod Italinn patriotism, and laid ont the
paths which cooler Drained men, Like CAVoUR,
followed to d constitutional destiny. Carl
BA1p1 has always been content with leading
to great events; he has scrupulously fore
gone the honors Of this final achievement.
He has never sought public place. He
promptly refused the handsome subscription
which the people recently made him, though
his services and his poverty would have war
ranted his acceptance thereof. When the
crowds gathered about him in Rome he told
them simply that he was pleased to see them,
and then asked them to 60 home and to be
"orderly and good" The good of the peo-
pie is what he has always aimed at, and he
has believed it to be Synonymous with liberty.
He starts the lead and leaves to others the
practical working Of it. With all his fail
ures, his mistaken zeal, and his speculative
politics, there is something SO grind in his
supplemented, heroic, and sef-sacrifcing de-
yotion to Freedom that there is nothing to
wonder nt in the universal affection the
italian people feel for him.

The war between the Baltimore l. Ohio
Road and the Pennsylvania Company re-
mains without material change, both parties
being obstinate. The remark of the Master
of Transportation Of the frst-named road,
that " The longest pole knocks the persim-
MONS" SUMS up the situation and shows that
the struggle will be ona Of financial "endur-
ance. The Baltimore & Ohio On the 18th
sent out schedule Of freight rates to all
prominent Western points which are more
than 10 per cent lower than the JOINT jan
uary schedule. Of course, there must be an
end to al this cutting under. The two roads
cannot 60 on losing money at this rate. It
is probable that they havo already lost moro
than they can replace in a. long time to
come. Shippers and passengers may derive
some temporary benefit from this ruinous
competition, but in the end it can only bo o
disadvantage to business. These spasmodic
changes Of freight rates can only result in
equally spasmcdic changes in stocks and
prices, and viii provo disastrous. As the two
roads must eventually agree upon some COM
promise, it will be better for them and for
the whole business public to settle as soon aa
possible upon some steady tariff. The COM
petition as now conducted is an e1hausting
one, and damaging to general business.

The Chicago Times, having last week de-
stroyed one Of our theatres, burned sixty or
seventy people alive, and brought terror into
hundreds of households, all with malicious
hoax, this week undertakes to dispossess the
citizens of Peoria with 4 trumped-up old
claim, protesting to come down from French
grant! It has come across q couple Of ad-
yenturers who are represented as having the
title to this mythical claim, and it tries to
startle the Peoria property holders into some
such scare as large number Of people felt
cbout the "supposidtious burning" Of the
supposititious thcare." tits almost needless
to say that there is about as much founda-
ton for one as for the other Of these bogus
sensations, and entirely needless to add that
tho people have ceased to be either frightened
or concerned about anything which appears
in that mendacious sheet.

TYNDALL TO HIS CRITICS

Tho applause that followed TYSDA11's striking
sentence, II discern in that matter which re,
in our ignorance, notwithstanding our professed
reverence for its Creator, have hitherto covered
with opprohriun, the promise and potency oi
every form and quality OF Ife," when it vas
spoken at Belfast, WAS soon drowned in = chorus
Of reproaches, curses, and opposing argu-
ments from theological thinkers Of VARYING
degrees OF orthodoxy throughout tho world.
The scientist had thrown down the
gauntlet. The thoologiana caught 1t up.
Catholics and Protestants thundered 1t TvD1L.
Dr.. McCosn, OF course seized tho opportunity
to write two or three nom books, and his tomes
we're few among many.
The Professor Inns replied to his c1itics- The
seventh edition Of his Belfast address has q
preface in which TYSDA11 exp1mns defends,
and asserts his position. Ha handles his assa,l-
ants in mass md in detail.
The tone Of The attacke has been, hs ssys,
bad Religion has not taught its advocates
courtesy. They have heaped abuse upon him.
Their arguments seem to bear the impress, rath-
er OF the Individuality Of each writer than Of the
religion common to them all Whence, ho con-
cludes, the common religion professed and
defended bv these different people is usually tho
accidental conduit through which they pour their
own tempers, lofty or low, courteous OF vulgar,
mild or farocioua, holy or unholy, ~ tho casa
may be-"
Some Of the hardest knocks are given IN de-
tail. 4 Professor Of Cambridge declared, earlv
in the controversy that TYanA11. vas too ignorant
Of mathematics to discuss the origin Of ltfe
TxSDA11 submits \ parchment sigued by tho
Professor Twenty-Five Tears ago, which certifes
that be Was swell yersod in pure mathematics :"
then. He certainly han not iost knowledge
since.
In reply to Catholic critic who elaius that
TxNDAlL has tried to hide his views, and 80
escape condemnation, tho latter aays that
he u not afraid OF any charge OF BE-
hef or disbelief. He quotes from the
Pope's Encyclioal Letter Of December, 1864, =
description Of the Virgin MARY, "uho sits as
Queen On the right hand Of her only begotten
Son, in golden veatment, clothed around with
va1iou8 adorn1nenta," End adds, for tho sake OF
relieving the critic from further anxiety about
his concealment Of his faith: "In regard 10
this, as to other 1esa pictorially a,thromorphio
and sarto1ial conceptions Of the Supreme, I
stand in the attitude Of dsbeliet."
The Protestant Bishop Of Manchester Is the
noxt victim. Hs, it seems when verbatim re-
port OF the Belfast add1ess was within his reach,
accused TyNDA1L of saying rhAt he did not say.
The pretended quotation by ths Bishop VIA "a
vain imagination ef his own"
Catholicism fares badly at ths handa OF this
hard hitter. Monaignor CApEr has declarod
that the Church favora science, and has
ths right to determine what true science
is. In reply, TYEnA1L quotes. among other
things, tho decree Of Plus T., in 1876. which coz

! mony is, that both l1r. BEEcHEn and
Mrs. TETON repeatedly spoke to her
| OF their intense love for each other, and tnat
! both confessed their great "sin to her, and
| consulted with her as to the consequences,
as well as to the proper course they should
pursue. If this be true, it is tho end OF Inc
case, and there is only one conclusion
Thus far there is nothing to show that It. Is
not true. On the other hand, the probaolll-
ties are such IS to secure public credence FOR
her testimony, unless tho defense can explain
it away. HRS. Mou11os is Indy Of nigh
position and unspotted character. Her
word has always been good, and no
SUSPICION Is now thrown upon it. All
the actors in this social drama trusted
in her. and Mr.. BEEoHKR himself had
50 much confidence in her that he could say:
"You are tho best friend that have in this
world. You are dearer to me thnn any sister1
have, for you, knowing all the truth, and know
ing that an guilty, still stand by me, while
they believe am innocent" In all the time
this awful scandal has been before the nation
no part Of it has involved her, or placed her
in any position of distrust or duplicity. She
has modestly kept herself secluded, while
almost every one else has fednlous1y sought
public notoriety in connection with the
case, either directly or indirectly. Her
husband has also sought to shield
her, and even in his statement makes no al
fusion to her by name. shs does not seem to
be aware Of what had been going On until she
was informed of it long after its occurrence.
She did not even know that her husband WAS
enraged at 1fr. BEEcHEn until Mr.. BEEcuER
her OF it and besought her media
ton She sought none Of the parties in this
case. They sought her. She did not ask for
their confessions They made them to her
on their own motion She went to see Mrs
WooDuu11 but it WINS at the urgent request
Of her husband, in pursuance Of his plans to
keep that adventures from making the dread
secret public. Until she went upon the
the public had no idea that
Mira Mou1roN Was cognizant of all the facts
of this terrible case, and that she had been
Of them by the principal parties
themselves. Unless, therefore, the defense
can show that she has told q cold -blooded
or made dreadful mistake, or
that she is laboring under some strange hal-
and has imagined or invented
this story, which hangs together SO closely
and tenaciously that the most igid CROSS
cannot find weak spot in it,
the case Is virtually concluded.

Attacking the Northern Poetic at present
is something like butchering dead man.
Still, it is well to guard against any danger Of
aresu1rection. Gen. HAzEN probably thought
this when he supplemented his striking arti-
Gle in the last North american with PAM
phlet on ss Our Barren Lands" review Of
which We find in the last Nation. His es-
pecial object is to refute Gen. CusTER's at
tempted refutation Of his previous state
ments. He seems to do SO pretty effect
ually. He brings forward the proofs, already
50 familiar to our readers, that the region
between the Tooth meridian and the Sierra
Nevada range, and from our northern bound
ary to Mexico, is emphatical]y "barren
land" Drought and grasshoppers raw
age it. Save under the most exceptional
circumstances, crops can be produced only
by constant irrigation, and tho necessary
amount Of water exists only in few cases.
The valley Of the Upper Missouri, so lsvishly
bespattered with praise in the swindling
Northern Pacific advertisements, was truth
fully described by LEWIS and CLARKg, the
men sent by JEFFERSON in 1901 to explore the
Pacific slope; and the description holds good
to-day. The valley proper is narrow. Its
soil is good, but the scant supply of rains,
and water, and timber or fuel, say LEWIS and
C1AlzH, "oppose powerful obstacles to settle
ment" This testimony is eo1roborated
by that Of numerous other Witnesses,
which Gen HAzEs quotes. He incidental
" shows CusTRR's lack Of trustworthi-
ness by comparing his report Of the
Black Hills country with that Of other
members Of the go1d-hunting party.
CusrEB describes the Upper Missouri on the
strength Of two years observation, at time
when the rnin-fall was exceptionally large.
HAzN speaks from an experience Of twenty
five years. The widows, orphans, and
trustees, who invested in Northern Pacific
bonds, because the Independent and other
" religious papers told them to do so, will
be interested in the passage in which Gen.
HAzES pays his respects to HENRY g. Bow
EN-. *The stories of the Tropical Belt,
the Continental Wheat Garden,'" ETC.,
are the "pueri1e inventions OF the late wit
ness, literary stockholder, and literary agent
Of the Northern Poetic, aided by other writ
ers of the country, both employed and vol
unteer, and continued and animated through
the instrumentality Of that gre.t mornlp lpower,
the I1depeadent, for which services that lead
ing Christian newspaper Of tho world was
given previously unheard-of compensation"
It is but justice to Mr.. Bowen to say that, in
return for bis previously unheard-of CON-
pensakon," he obtained for the corporation
which bought his paper 3 previously unheard-
Of success in duping the pious poor.

The case Of WARREN HASTINGS, nearly a
century ago, furnished the occasion for some
of the finest contributions to Engliah Gtera-
ture, in the form Of the addresses by the
managers Of the impeachment of that officer.
That case opened up to the world q knowl-
edge of affnirs in India that eventually led to
an entire revolution in tho Government Of
that country by Great Britain. The hid also
immortaized many Of the great orators who
participated in it. Great Britain has Just
now engaged IN the criminal trial Of one
of the native. rulers in India, and the
case has received especial interest from the
fact that the accused officer has sent to En-
gland for one Of the most distinguished law
yers to defend him and thus the trial promi-
sea to be mora than mere local affair. The
accused official is Gaikwar Of Baroda At
each Of these local Governments Great Brit
aiu has q Resident Commissioner, and the
late GLADSTONE Government removed this
Resident, and thensuspended the functions Of
thenative sovereign. The events leading up to
this affair are thus explained: In 1862, it
was discovered that the custom ct '' khut-
put !" was general in the country. Now, this
custom, perfectly familiar to Americans,
though it may not be recognized
under it's Oriental name, means nothing
less than of1icinl corruption It con-
sists in obtaining favorable decisions from
officials by the agency OF money spent freely
at headquarters There was no direct bribery,
but there was free employment Of what, in
this country, is known as "lobby." All
guitors, plsce-hunters, convicted criminals,
unsuccessful ldgants, and all others standing
in need at official favor, had been educated
up to the idea that by sending large sums to
Bombay they could have favorable decisions,
and havs their enemies punished Baroda
vas found to have the highest eninenos in
this Kind Of businesa. Khutput was prompt
ly broken up, and the native State Of Baroda
was put under the Foreign Department Of the
Government Of India. In 1869, under an im-
preston that the raasons for tho change no
longer anssed, DAHonA was xaatored 10
