Beeche,,s A,cfu1 Responsibility.

From the New York Times.
AS for Mr.. Beecher, he remains the i'm
pure and perjured man which any rational
construction of his own letters proved him
to be. That fact deprives Mr.. Beecher's re-
joinder to Mrs. Tilton's latest confession of
any title to consideration. 1t lends, how
ever, to every fresh protest of his against
the justice of the retribution which he has
earned, the terrible emphasis Of persistent
hypocrisy and falsehood. The long and bit
ter struggle to set at naught the conse
quences of guilt, and the keen
torture which every new phase of
this wretched business must bring to an
organization like that of Mr.. Beecner, form
one of the most pitiful episodes of human
experience. If Mr.. Beecher's sins have been
unique, his yet unfinished tale Of suffering
is fairly proportional to them. Mrs. Til
toms latest confession will probably not
abate one jot of the attachment with which
Mr.. Beecher's friends have chung to him, and
their implicit faith in his innocence is like ly
to stand much ruder test than this. But
it can hardly fail to deepen the indignation
with which those convinced of Mr.. Beecher's
guilt regard the spectacle of the gospel
of truth and purity being e1pounaed by one
| who has so fagrantly detied its precepts.

Her Starving Miners and Laborers Pleading
for State Aid on a Mammoth Scale.
PoTTsvn1E, Pa, April 19.-Five hundred
miners and laborers met near here this
afternoon for the purpose of consulting and
proposing plans to ask the authorities of
the State, to legislate in their behalf for i'm
mediate aid, to enable them to provide for
themselves and suffering families. The
meeting was orderly. Petitions were signed
asking the State to appropriate
several million dollars. and purchase iron
and withhold it from market for several
years 30 as to enable the iron interests to
resume and thereby make demand for
coal, or take any other prompt measures to
create work in the region. Resolutions were
passed requesting the miners, laborers and
workmen of other sections of the State to
address the legislature on the same subject
Meetings are to be held throughout the Ma
honey valley by the working people generally
for the same purposes.

to supply much collateral testimony which,
if made public, would restore the Diminished
strength OF her confession, caused by pre-
vious contrary assertions. She was actively
engaged in spiriting away the Burns girls,
domestics, who it was alleged could corrobo-
rate Kate Cary, the nurse, who swore that
she saw Mrs. Tilton in Mr.. Beecher's lap.
She took the girls IN carriage to New Jer-
sey, where married sister Of theirs lived. It
is thought that she can corroborate Joseph
Loader, the upholsterer of 791 Fulton
street, who, because of his affidavit in behalf
of the plaintiff, was imprisoned in Raymond
street Jail for several months on charge of
perjury, and was at length denied an oppor-
tunity to vindicate himself by a n0Ne pro-
sequi, which was entered in his case. Mr..
Loader is known as truthful, Woodworking
man, and his experience in swearing to what
he still maintains is the truth, cost him over
$1,000, and seriously crippled him fnan-
cially. It would be Mrs. Iilton's opportu-
nifty to bring forth this collateral testimony,
If the church undertook to dis
cipline her, but the policy thus far
indicated is to let her alone, as a poor
crazy woman, whom it would be cruel to
excite with a church trial. In the event Of
q re-trial of the case OF Tilton against
Beecher. she would be competent as wit
ness, and as the church may not wish to
disturb her mind by disciplining her, Mr.
Beecher could speedily carry the question of
his innocence into court, by noticing the
suit against him for trial, and having it
tried in June. Thus far, it is known that
Mrs. Tilton has confessed to Mrs. Martha
Bradshaw, Mrs. Anna Field, Mrs. Robert
Raymond, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Miss
Florence Tilton, Mrs. Emma Moulton, MIR.
Francis D. Moulton, Mr.. F. b. Carpenter,
the Rev. DR.. r. s. Storrs, her husband, and
others, among them one warm-hearted, life
long friend of herself and Beecher.
For Mrs. Tilton there can be no feeling
but that of pity. From the mental anguish
of the years that are gone she has sought
relief in what must be still greater anguish
With great bravery she lied for her sancti
monious lover. 1t must be with great agony
that she admits the world to her dark secret
The strain upon the sensitive nature OF
womankind had been prolonged beyond
endurance. The woman that had faced
courts and the public and the unmistakahle
evidence, with the fortitude of a woman, fol
the sake of lascivious hypocrite, yielded al
last to the pressure of conscience and OF
time. Her continued denial was the only
hope of Beecher for a favorable public YER
dict With her confession the great apostle
of Congregationalism in the country
falls. He is not robbed of his elo
quence. His popularity as an enter
tainer of the public is not necessarily de-
stroyed, but his good name as a Christian
minister is no more. If the church can
afford to still cherish and honor him, it il
the affair of the church. Womanly instincts
would not permit the confession of Mrs
T!ton, if it were false. Can the Congrega.
tional church foster its chief apostle, hypo
critic and adulterer? Can his talents gilt
his record?

Il Hal Lot.

From the New YORK Tribune.
1t was long ago decided that the person
ages in the Beecher scandal, who seemed to
have lived in whirl of unhealthy emotions,
quivering one day on the rough and ragged
edge of anxiety and despair, gushing the
next with maudlinj affection, Tor losing
themselves in an ecstacy of folly, were not to
be judged by the recognizing stand
ards Of conduct, and their words were not
to be weighed by the established rules of ev-
idcnce. Mr.. Bescher had made enough adj
missions to damn o dozen other preachers,
yet jury could not convict and congrega-
ton would not abandon him. Theodore
Tilton had compromised himself by writing
in terms of affection to the man whom he
accused of outraging his domestic sanctuary
yet thousands believed him. And Mrs. Til
ton-what story has she not told about this
mystery, what hideous and impossible thing
has she not done?

Another Mexican Revolution Fomentinc.
San ANTONIO, Tex, April 19.-Reliable In
formation reached here from the interior of
the Mexican border, states that an insurreo-
ton against the Diaz government is steadily
but surely re-opening. It is understood
there that the Lerdos party are arming the
Mexican Indians to renew raiding, in
order to bring matters on the Rio Grande

United States. The commanding officer of

are aiding in concert with Indians from

extensive raid in Texas.

The man who breaches the gospel of
Christ on Orange street, in Brooklyn, is
confronted at last by a deliberate confession
of his partner in adultery, made under such
circumstances as to command confidence
in its truthfulness. We printed yester-
day the letter of Mrs. Tilton, the
painful offspring of repentance and re-
morse and the inability to keep the dark Sc
cret longer, confessing her adultery witt:
Henry Ward Beecher. The letter must be
regarded as the real ending, in the public
mind, of celet rated case that attracted the
attention of the whole country, and won the
notice of people beyond the sea. Society
and religion were interested in this case.

Il Tortured wife.

It is not difficult to understand how deg-
olate and forsaken woman, crushed by much
suffering, should be brought to this last act
of humiliation; but how could any creature
wearing the form of man, find it in his
heart to force this tortured wife to make
such statement, and permit it TO be given
to the public? If he is to live with her
again, this terrible secret should have been
kept between tho two, and the public have
been left to its own conjectures.
