Wine, Politics, Religion, Women.

Wine has caused a great deal ot
trouble among individuals, but it is
not as powerful factor TO disturb
the relationship Of nations as politics,
religion or women. The Sacred vol
ume tells how the first woman OF
Adams race by her entertainment OF
the versatile Satan who dropped in
from another planet one day to see
her, changed the whole current OF
events of the human family, and He
roditus the oldest of profane histor-
ians tells that the first troubles
among nations was on account Of the
women. Every student of history
knows what a prolific source of trou-
bic and war, politics, Gnd religion
has been among men.
Just now President Cleveland's
administration has question on
hand in the appointment Of A 81
Kelley to a foreign mission that com
prehends the troubles that politics.
religion snd women, in an une1pect-
ed moment may produce among M
tions.
Away back in 1871 when the King
Of Italy by the power of political
right stripped the Pope OF Rome of
civil power in the Eternal City," A.
IL Kelley, then citizen OF Rich
mond, Virginia, delivered a speech
st public meeting. in which he de-
clared the act OF the King of Italy
against the Pope to be an ''unwarran-
ted invasion OF TIE civil power of
His Holiness. Who sent report
Of Keiley's remarks in favor OF the
Pope to the King of Italy is not sta
ted, but when Kelley became an ap-
plcant for, and received theappoint
nent as Minister to Italy, the King
sent word to the Cleveland admins
trasion that be could lot be 1acog-
nizei because Of the Richmond
speech.
The President then appointed Mr..
Kelley as Minister TO Austria, and
then came the greater surprise. The
Washington government was inform
cd that the Austrian government will
not receive Kelley because his
wife is a Jewess, and now we
have the three great questions of
politics, religion and woman coming
IN to create a disturbance between
the American people and two Euro
pean governments, and Kelley isinst
now the man most talked of in dip
iomstic. religious and educational
circles in the world. A sentence or
two in single speech, a marriage
and an appointment to an Office caus-
es Kelley to day TO be the most Ia K
ed Of in the highest circles in the
civilized world-bow singularly, IN
e1pectedly great questions are raised,
and bow unconsciously a mas NAV
become an instrument to change the
currents OF events OF the world The
position of the Republic on the ques-
tons Of politics, religion and women,
is different from that of Europe and
Asia, and it has been Keiley's miss
ion to bring the difference into an
tagonism. WHAT the resIlt will be
time will tell 1t har only been since
the meeting of Congress that the
true cause of Keiley'a rejection has
become known, and people who had
been missled into the belief that it
was an account OF scurrilous writ
ing or speeches that be was rejected
are now taking sidee with Kelley
and insist on it, that O minister
should not be rejected on account of
the religion OF himself or the relig-
ion of his wife. The country will
settle down TO the belief of Secreta
ry Bayard. who voices the view of
the Cleveland administration that
Austria should not reject Mr. Kelley
because he is married TO a Jewess.
