keeping up the tide, is a problem, it may be,
more curious than profitable but neverthe-
less problem very difficult of analysis.
If we cannot determine the ruling cause OF
this long continued commotion of ideas, we
do see the result, namely: that both people
and press have been lifted to a higher plane
and broader horizon OF moral and intellec-
tual vision until, being mutually dependent,
they are now inseparable.
And if this be true, what fearful respon-
sbility rests upon the press in instructing
the people upon the moral and political ques-
tons which are constantly arising under our
popular form of government. To meet and
discharge this duty Alright journalism must
take an aggressive conscientious stand Tor
right and truth, and at once lead and be led
by the people.
The secret of Abraham Lincoln's success as
President during the most perilous period of
our national history was his conscientious
adherence to a high sense of duty, and his
wise foresight in interpreting the feeling OF
the great popular heart.
If our leading political journalists, taking
lessons from the immortal Lincoln, will
study carefully and conscientiOusly the
wants and wishes of the common masses and
rightly and intelligently instruct and direct
them, the prophets of the Old World, who
have so often predicted the early rupture and
downfall of the American republic will die
without the realization of their hopes.
The questions of to-day upon which the
people. regardless of party, desire faithful
instruction and right guidance, are the
liquor evil and the protection of our
varied and growing manufacturing industries.
Upon the latter question the party lines are
pretty closely drawn and the leading journal
lists OF the country are viewing the subject at
every angie
Upon the drink traffic there seems, as al
ways, a lack of courage to present the evil in
its real deformity. The results of the late
municipal elections in some of our larger
cities where the hummer element holds sway
are not very indicative of an educated con
science on the part of the press of these
cities
Leave the so-called nondescript independ-
ent papers to play between the parties and to
pander to the baser sort, and to die of their
own loathsomeness, but on the part of re-
sponsible journalism let there be no uncer-
tain sound upon questions the evil of which
is plain to all. PATTERSON MCNUTT.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The statement of General Browne, in late
letter, that political policies will hereafter
depend for success more upon the public
press than the public speaker, is, no doubt,
the conviction of a majority of the best men
of both parties If this be true reflection
of the better sentiment of the country, does
it not mark an era of advanced intelligence
and independence on the part of our citizen
ship? If true, it is a deserved compli-
ment to the journalism of the times,
as we'll as crucial indication
to the editorial fraternity to take no
backward step in their responsible profess
sion.
Journalists, however, will make a mistake
if they assume that this promotion to po-
litical leadership is attributable wholly to
modern journalistic facilities and their own
superior tactics. This latter is largely true;
but then it remains that an increasing gem
eral moral intelligence among the masses
has, unconsciously it may be to the average
journalist had much to do in shaping and
giving positive character to the utterances of
the press
AS long as the multitudes remain in COM
parative ignorance and consequent in
difference, taking no thought be-
You'd what they shall eat
and wherewithal they shall be clothed the
demagogue and crossroads politician can
lead them at will, while the newspaper how
ever freighted with important information,
will not only not be read but not even find a
circulation.
This does not apply to those exclusively
who are ignorant of letters merely, but to
many of ordinary intelligence in business
life, whose eager pursuit of sordid gain blinds
all sense of their higher responsibility as free
citizens of free country. IL is the general
| awakening and quickening of this feeling of
duty to society and government which
lifts the people from their lethargy
and carries them beyond the control of the
stump-orator, and fits them for the better
guidance of an educated press.
1t is probably true thai periods of great,
general, moral and intellectual activity come
and go, like the tides; and like the tides, too,
the several influences which combine to pro-
duce this intense activity cannot be exactly
analysed and the dominating force discov-
cred.
During the last quarter of a century this
tide of moral ideas has been rising seeking
every inland tributary and pushing on into
every nook and corner and opening of our
vast republic; but whether the school, the
college, the pulpit. the press the Summers, the
GaTisons and Mortons, or the actual felt
presence of great and widespread moral evils,
have been most powerful in bringing in and

After Renouncing the Word She Is Anxious

Montreal Special.
There is a nun now in the Convent of
Hochelaga whose religious name is Sister of
the incarnation" Her brother is member
of Parliament, and some of her other rela-
tives occupy high positions in the pro-
LESSONS. She belongs to Pointe Claire, near
Montreal, and has just passed her TWEEN ty
first year. She is well educated, graceful
and accomplished. Several years since she
renounced the world and its pleasures. For
some reason she now objects to living the
life of nun any longer, and her relatives
have endeavored to secure her release even
going so far as to threaten a writ of habeas
corpus.
The Bishop has referred the matter to the
Pope, and has told her father and other rela-
tives that they have no right to interfere in
the Rmatter, as his daughter had renowned
BIN and the world on taking the vow. As a
rule she is allowed to see no person in the
convent save her attendants, and her health
is evidently wearing under the strain to her
nerves. A recent letter to her father is full
of despair. The following extracts from it
show her state of mind:
L am sad, but am calm, even though il be the
calmness of despair. am especially sad that l
have not been able to endure my misery without
viii he calm, but you may hear from me again.
My last effort may be sudden flash of light
ming in a tempest.
Her father saw her alone for few mo-
ments day or two ago, and rushing into his
arms she begged him to save her from the
life she had learned to dislike so heartily
What the result of the affair may be is a sub
ject of much anxiety on the part OF her
friends, while public curiosity has also been
aroused in regard to it.

In his opening prayer, yesterday morning, Rev.
Mr.. Doddridge, of Fletcher Place, thanked the
Lord very devoutly for the unity and high re-
solve that characterized the temperance con1en-
ton of last week, and then fervently prayed that
those who had thus resolved would prove true to
their pledges, which called forth such a volley OF
hearty Methodist "amens" as to indicate that the
arrogance of the liquor league had pretty thor
oughly aroused at least one preacher and his
congregation.

fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back

kidney disease, liver COM

rheumatism, dyspepsia, over

Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and maxi
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: " My wife
has for many years been trou.
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and l can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many lnedi-
cines she has tried"

mend Browns IRON BIT
