Theory and Practice.

During he past few years it as
been urged all over the country that
the republican party had becon Q
corrupt through long lease Of pow
or, and that a change should lie made
in intere of reform. In 49, /
the Ohio democracy passed. this s.
o!utioi, and adopted it into the sta o
platform:
That the growth of monopoly is
such as t. seriously threaten the
rights of intlividuaIs and the public
welfare, and ought to be provided
against by proper legislation"
In the Ease of this the election of
Payne U. S. Senator from that state,
giving tho STANDARD Oil Co, Que of
the most powerful monopolies in the
United States. a representative in Il Q
highest Legislative body in the Ian I,
turns the platform assertions into 9
ho.lowest kind of mockery In 1882,
this same Ohio democracy adopted
the following:
Resolved that wa are in favor of
Il civil service reform, whereby Offices
shall be held as public trusts, to be
administered for public good, not
Spuils to te enjoyed as the rewsrd Of
partisan zeal or seivics."
Senator Pe..dieton, cindid man
who believed his purity meant what it
said, introduced the famous civil ser
vice reform bill which b2came \ law.

The Beecher Family.

The question vas raised recently whether
Henry Ward Beecher was younger or older
than his sister, Mrs. Stowe. Ii was found
that Mrs. Stowe WAS born in 1912, and Mr..
Beecher in 1913; he is little more than a
year the younger. Catherine Beecher was
born nearly II years before her better-known
sister. While Catherine lost her lover, Prof.
Fisher, of Yale College, by shipwreck, when
she was still very young. Mrs. Stowe mar
ried, it appears, a widower, if we are to
trust Mr.. +. d. Mansfeld's Memories,
which say that Prof Stowe had for first
wife a handsome New England lady" Mr.
Stowe was ten years older than his wife,
who wrote her great work at the age of 40,
and her second important novel, "Dred," at
the age of a.
The Beecher family seem to owe their
literary vitality to their transpantation to
the west where their father. Lyman Beecher,
went about 1882. and he remained there
many wears. Mrs Stowe lived in Cincinnati
about seventeen years or till the time she
planned Uncle Tom," which novel was not
drawn from eastern or Virginia slave sources
but from Kentucky, and the escaping slaves
who came up through Ohio and Indiana
Among these was Eliza Harris" whose feat
o. crossing the river with her child on float
ing ice is fully testified to in the recently
published "reminiscences of Levi Coffin, the
president of the Western Underground rail
road, who sheltered her at his home. CHI

gained her strength she was locked in her
room by her husband, and thus for 80
wears has lived Her eldest daughter was
her only visitor, for she would never al
low her husband to cross the threshold of
her room. At first, so the gossips say,
Hinman took revenge on her for her re-
fusal to see him by declining to allow her
child to go to her. 1t is also stated that
he was in the habit of taking this child
out into the yard, and there in plain sight
of the mother furnishing her At times he
would tie the child to post in the yard
and leave it hungry to cry itself to sleep
within sight and hearing of the imprs-
oned mother. A neighbor's child was
once scolded roundlv by Hinman tor shar-
ing its cake with the suffering little one,
so says one who had for years lived near
the Humans and witnessed these and
other punishments inflicted upon the child
for the purpose of woundng the mother
As time passed on Hinman became less
cruel to his wife and child. He provided
for the former plentifully and well when
he found that she wss not crazy. cause
she was Obstinate as he once explained
her ailment to an associate. When Hin
man would be at work in his garden she
would lower little bag through the iron
bars of her window in which he would
send up fruit to her cell. This was as
close to holding communication with him
as she came for years. And there was a
singular thing about the way she treated
these gifts. Tucked about in the corners
of her room and wherever she could find
for them lodging place were found hun
dreds of little bags containing all the seeds
she had saved from the fruit she ate, a
collection aggregating bushels in quantity.
Since Humans death Mrs. Hinman has
been out of her room on several occasions.
The first was Just before the funeral SER
vices of her husband were held. Then
coming out of her room she looked over
the banister of the stairs down into the
hall where the cold. stern features of her
tyrannical husband looked up from his
coffin.
A cynical smile. almost the look of ex-
ultation. swept over the haggard features
of the once beautiful belle of Birmin CHAM.
and then. without a word she return ed to
her room, and IN silence looked for hours
out through the grated window at the long
stretch of snow and ice fringing the rush
ing Housatonic. She seemed content;
for the first time in three decades quite at
peace with herself.
There is little hope that the wretched
wife. now an old woman of over 90 years.
can ever be restored to reason. and in all
probability. despite treatment which is
promised. she will die as she has lived. a
prisoner in her own room.-N. y. Times.

Secretary Fogler has sent to Represen
tative Hatch communication containing
dispatch from Mr. King. consul at Bar.
mingham, England, and letter from the
Secretary himself to Secretary Freiing
huysen relative to the foot and mouth
disease among cattle in England and in
this country. In his communication te
Mr. Hatch the Secretary says:
The disclosures made by Mr.. King:
despatch as to the prevalence OF the dis
ease throughout Great Britain show more
| than ever the necessity tor legislation that
will protect the interests Of the United
States against the importation of diseased
cattle. | NAV also state that both in and
near the quarantine station for the protec-
ton Of cattle imported into the State OF
Maine. the foot and mouth disease has re-
Gently broken out. and appearances indi-
cate beyond any reasonable doubt that 1t
had its origin in a lot of cattle imported
from Great Britain. 1t is believed that no
other case of this disease exists in this
country The power OF this department
in the way of protection against this dis
interests, and the matter as previously
presented, it is hoped, will receive the
consideration of Congress at a very early
date.
Mr.. Kings dispatch from Birmingham,
Eng, says in part:
The foot and mouth disease prevails in
all parts Of this country. In the week
ending January 10, there were 64l farms
reported infected and Is, 96l animals with
the disease 1t is a fact that under the
law cattle from any OF these infected dis
tricts can be moved to other parts of this
country or shipped abroad two weeks after
the disease is supposed to have disap-
peared from the district. The contrast
between this fact and the way the law is
enforced against American cattle seems
to me to be Striking.
On receipt of the despatch Secretary
Folger communicated with the Secretary
of State, and said
will thank you to inform the cOnsuls
OF the United States throughout Great
Britain that they shall not certify INVOICES
of cattle or other rumnating animals, un-
less satisfied by the examination of a
veterinary surgeon or otherwise, that the
animals are in healthy condition. 1t is
hoped that the consular officers will not
exercise their duty in a perfunctory man.
ner. but that they will take pains to ascer-
tain the true condition of the animals as
to their freedom from disease before Civ
ing certificates. may add that it is not
deemed necessary at the present time to
apply these instructions to salted skins,
sausage skins or salted pelts, rs it is be-
lieved that the importation of this descrip-
ton OF merchandise is not likely to COM
municate the contagious diseases speci
fled.
