Beecherss Denial.

Rey. Henry Ward Beecher was at
Elmira, n. Y, yesterday. and left in the
afternoon for Bath, where he was to
lecture last night. An.effort of a repor-
ter to elicit something from him con-
corning Mrs. 1ilton's confession result
ed in brief repetition in substance OF
his published denial. He said that Mrs.
Tilton's statement bad been instigated
by desire for reunion with her hus-
band, and was the price she paid for as
serting the same. He said he would con-
tinue his course just the same, notwith-
standing the renewal of the scandal.
Mr.. Pond, Beecher's agent, cited several
late newspaper publications to show
that Tilton aided in preparing the state
ment, that it had been anticipated, and
that the reunion of Tilton and his wife
had been for some time agreed upon and
arranged for in view of it.-Theodors
Tilton lectured at Decorah, Iowa, last
night. He declined to be interviewed on
the subject of his domestic affairs.

1t is significant sign of the times we
have passed that a man who was worth
so little could secure as much credit az
Fry did.
John Campbell, of Philadelphia, has
filed his report as auditor of the estate Of
the late s. Gross Fry, He says, "the
liabilities aggregate the sum of 1884,
221 ~, while the total assets amount to
but S6,614 q, Yielding less than IL per
cent to the creditors. This may be in
creased by the result of suit now pend
ing against brother of deceased for the
recovery of some $4,000 worth of pro-
perty which was transferred ostensibly
for value received, but it is alleged that
no value passed in the transaction in re-
tuIn for the property SO transferred
Even If this suit is decided favorably to
the creditors, the increase in the yield to
them will not be very great. The credi-
tors are very numerous, but the claims OF
majority ofthsm are for small amounts

ALL along we have, in common
with almost everybody, inclined to
the view that two great powers like
England and Russia, in this day and
age of the world, would not engage
in war, but it cannot be denied but
that the situation is critical and there
are unmistakable evidences that Eng
land is determined to try and check
the advances of Russia towards her
Indian possessions, and that she will
fight, if necessary, to do this.
The continued preparation of both
nations for war, shows better than
anything else, tho animus of
each, and it alone calls for a great ex-
penditure and is drain upon the
productions of the two nations. The
people of the two Kingdoms are ripe
for war and hence war will be popu-
lar with them. England undoubted-
ly has the advantage in the matter OF
preparation her exchequer is in the
best condition she can continue
preparation and maintain herself on
an extensive war footing much better
than Russia can. There is evidence
Of determined bad blood between
these nations and 1t is really safe to
say that war Is probable between
them.

THE bill to improve our revenue
laws failed on account of quarrel
between the Senate and House at
Des Moines. This is very much to
be regretted. There was an urgent
demand for the revision of our reve-
nue. laws and 1t is very discreditable
to the Seventeenth General Assem-
bly, that they failed in this much
needed legislation.
In Wisconsin the laws touching
revenue, like ours, require property
to be assessed at its cash value and
they have been assessing property as
we have, at q partial value disregard
ing the law, and this has got into the
courts and decision has been rem.
dered invalidating the assessments
We are liable in Iowa to get into the
the same trouble. Boards of Super.
visors have been in the habit of fixing
rates for the assessment of property
grading down the figures below the
cash value, and in our opinion, thi,
action is clearly illegal. Property
will never be justly and properly as
sessed until the system is adopted o.
listing II at its real, instead of ficti
tious value.

of enjoyments which are not obvious
ly wrong, that is chiefly to be re-
garded. A good man asks whether
he could 60 from dancing to console
. dying bed. But could he 60 from
skating, or reading Pickwick, or from
heartily laughing, to console dyiug
friend? Would it not, even in his
own view, depend wholly upon the
mood in which he was doing it?
Let him select an act which he
would approve. Let him be reading
q serious book, or thinking in his
study, or going upon visit Of chari-
ty when he is summoned, and he
would say he could go with perfect
composure and the utmost propriety.
But how if he we're peevish as he
read the serious book, or if he were
thinking angrily in his study, or If he
were mentally reproaching the duty
that drew him from his comfortable
room to pay visit of charity, could
he then more properly hasten to con.
sole the dying than if he had been
cheerfully dancing, his mind full of
pleasant thoughts and the delight of
the music and the measured move-
ment. It is not the thing that he is
doing, but the spirit in which be is
doin it, that should be considered.-

"Dot Pow Of Mine .

One Of the teachers in the public

written in behalf of delinquent pu-

runs in this wise:

The controversy on future punish
ment has about ended, and when
completely quieted down will rest
about where it did at the end ofthou-
sands of such controversies before.
An illustration Of tho present and
preceding fights over the matter, is
well represented in the old story of
the Ground" between Father Hosea
Ballou and Rev. Lyman Beecher. 1t
covers the whole ground and is as
follows:
Hosea Ballou and Lyman Beecher
met to compare Calvinism and Unit
versalism. Both were Bible men,
and both came armed with textual
missils. After several apostolic
blows from each other, shrewdly par
ried by the other, DR.. Beecher OPEN
ed to the 9th Psalm, and read? "The
wicked shall be turned into hell, and
all the nations that forget God."-
"Thera, sir, the wicked are in hell !;
get them out if you can" Hosea
Ballou, calm as a summer morning,
pointing to the 20th chapter of Johns
Revelation, read: "Death and hell
delivered up the dead that were in
them" "There," said Father Ballou,
"they are out; get them in again if
you can"
