INA SALON.

About eighty years before Beruria's
time, there lived another learned
woman, Ina Salon. member of a highly
esteemed and learned family of Jerusa-
lem. Her father, r. Simon ben Cana
liel was man Of much prudence and
judgement, as was readily admitted by
even his political adversary, FIayius
Josephus, He stood at the head of the
council of Jerusalem, and, with his life,
expiated his zeal for the independence
of the state. Her brother, r. Gamahel,
named Gamaliel Of Yabne or Iamnia af-
ter the city in which he lived held for
several decades the responsible position
of a president of the Sanhcdrim Her
aunt, the sister of her father, whose
name has not been reserved, was an in
tellectual woman, we'll versed in the
laws Once when an emperor, a conyer-
ted jew. stated to her father the abusive
exception that Goo had stolen a rib
from Adam for the purpose Of making
woman, she undertook the defence, and
carried it in a convincing manner She
said that during the previous night
thieves had broken into her house and
had ~toIen from her silver goblet. but
in its place, they had left golden ooe.
Such thieves, the bla~phcmy opalcd,
one could bear every day. .-"WeLlrbon,

duction Of the debt. A compromise
and final disposal of the debt is desir-
able, and any reasonable settlement
recognizing the losses of the war, the
rights and equities of the people,
would be approved by the people.
The party manager s, however, say that
the people cannot be trusted, except
to pay taxes when levied, and we say
the people cannot afford to trust or
follow such leaders. When a party
organization sets itself up above the
people it is time for them to take mat
ters in hand and see what is roing on.
The high credit folks opened the can
vass with bluster, denunciation aud
brow beating, and this has been kept
up all along until very recently when
slight change was observed. II they
really mean Cancellation let the
leaders on the other side
make some substantial concession
and then if the low-tax element re-
fuses to negotiate for harmony they
can appeal with moro consistency to
democrats at large. They carried
everything their own way in the
Nashville convention, drove out a
number Of delegates and hissed them
as they went. Not a single
concession has been made since
by any paper, speaker, or
person authorized to spe ak, yet at
this late day the committee writes a
homily on harmony and invites the
boilers, who are seldom called by as
mild tone, to surrender their organi-
zation, their principles and their man
hood. No decent proposition for a
fusion of the two wings has been
made by the bondholders' wing and il
is not likely that a majority
conscious that they are right, AID
have been grossly misrepresented and
abused to the world, will stack arms
and surrender uuconditionally to an
arrogantminority. But if there is
any real spirit of compromise in the
committee, let it be manifested by the
withdrawal Of Judge Wright. That
is the kind of-an olive branch that
wouldmean something equivalent to
flag of truce.

A DEMAND FOR UNCONDITIONAL

ingly to cancellation and the olive
branch. 1t calls upon the low-tax
wing of the democratic party, com
monty designated as repudiators, com
munists and Dennis Kearnoys, to
surrender and vote for Wright. That
is the only olive branch we see in the
committees high sounding address
to the democrats of Tennessee,
What the Ohio aud Indiana elections
have to do with the submission Of the
state debt question to the people Of
Tennessee is more than we can tell,
If those states had gone democratic,
an address of some kind perhaps
more threatening in tone, would no
doubt have been issued. The dom
ocrats of both wings will vote solidly
for Hancock aud English, and in a
national sense one wing is just
as much democratic as the
other. Both sides will vote alike for
the regular democratic nominees for
congress But majority Of the dem
ocrati Of the state will not vote for
Judge Wright because he was nomin-
ated upon a platform and by CON
vention which requires the next leg

SUMPTERs defeat in the south did
not destroy the hope Of liberty in the
hearts Of patriots. The battle Of
Kings Mountain, fought afterward,
turned the tide of affairs and led
eventually to the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. The battle Of
Bull Run did not settle the late war,
nor do the elections in Ohio and In
diana determine the November elec
ton. All true democrats will fall
into line for the great battle, with a
full sense Of the necessity of great
effort. This was a stubbornly con-
tested and hard fought skirmish, in
which we had reverse. Hancock is
stronger than Landers in Indiana, and
he is stronger than his party all over
this country.

sight is much better than foresight,
and it is easy know to speculate al-
ter an election. But there was some
foresight in the late campaign not
needed. The national democratic
committee neglected Indiana three
weeks too long. When the committee
saw the helpless condition the demo
Gratis were in it should not have de-
layed an instant in taking prompt
action instead of waiting to accom-
plish a purpose. What that purpose
was it is unnecessary at this time to
speak. When the national committee
was satisfied that the republicans
were using all Of their machinery and
aid to carry Indiana it should have
met them with all the force in its
power. 1t was an inexcusable blunder
for tue national committee TO make
the fight it did make for Maine and
Ohio when a close democratic state
upon which the hopes Of the national
democracy were centered, was being
overrun with men and money, aud
stood trembling in the balance. Maine
and Ohio were republican states
Their going republican amounted to
nothing. 1t did not in the least affect
the presidential situation. Indiana
and New York were the only two
northern states required to elect Gen.
Hancock. The loss of Indiana was
nearly everything. No chances should
have been taken. Sufficient aid
should have been extended, and in
time 10 make it secure. 1t was the
jack pot on the political gambling ia
BILE, and all the states were in playing
for the game. The national demo
cratic committee held the winning
cards, but lost the pot by a frIghtful
and horrible misplay. But let that
PASS. That fearful deal Is over; now
