to me that the fair way would be TO
give Mr.. Froude hearing in their
columns fret, thus enabling their
readers to find out what it is that
James has said that is go irritating
to their tender and holy sensibllities.
As rule, people do not cry out be
fore they are hurt.
What in the mischief Is the sixth
commandment, any how: When We
read in the HERALD last week that
some fellow over that way was
breathing out threatenings and
slaughter against all violators of the
sixth commandment, we we're troub-
led and sore afraid, because we did
not know what the sixth command
ment is, and therefore couldn't tell
whether we had ever violated it or
not. l have asked scores of well in
formed people about il, but none OF
them knew. Major V,ele says he
thinks il has some sort of reference to
mixed mstrimony. Ish dot so?

time OF physical weakness he was
overcome by the appetite and went
down. He left tins city against the
advice of his physician to attend the
convention at Fort Wayne. He had
been sick for some weeks, unable to
fill his engagements. He overworked
himself At Fort Wayne, and coming
To Chicago worn out, drank FIRST to
gain strength to come home, and

received by the temperance workers,
who helped him by their sympathy,
and he took new resolution and
started again. He has net nothing
but sympathy and confidence from
them The Good Templsrs passed
a resolution of sympathy aud conf
lence, and by hundreds OF individu
ais he has been assured of the same
hing. At the temperance meetings
he was received with great feeling
All regret it, and are aware how Sc

his fault he will have the respect OF
every person in the city whose re.
spect is worth anything lis work

great good yet in fighting The traffic
of whose power he has had this new
evidence. Those who have been |
misled as to the way the people felt |
here by any articles that have ap
pesred should know the facts. Hoof |

with people, whine they feel strongly |
the fault he has committed, and which /
he does not attempt TO paIl,ate, have
confidence in him and sympathy for
