1t will be remembered that Rev. DIR.
George H. Ball of Buffalo came suddenly
into national prominence during the last
national campaign as the promulgator of
certain charges and disclosures concern
ing the life and character of the Democrat
ic candidate for president. DR.. Ball was at
once himself violently attacked. The
New York Evening Post and Boston Her
aid led the onslaught on him by publish
ing letters and articles declaring that DR..
Ball was can adventurer :" that he repre-
scented himself to be a Baptist minister,
when in fact he was not that he had been
4 rowing and irresponsible character, Eva
rious things by turns and nothing long :"
that he was compelled to leave a city
where he once resided "owing to an in
suit" that he offered "to Christian
lady - that he was bribe-taker; a cor
rupter of elections Il publisher of disgust
ing libels and "miscreant."
These things were said of an officer in
various missionary societies and educa-
tional institutions of the Baptist denom-
ination Christian minister and teacher,
for 90 years the pastor of the largest and
most influential Baptist church in Buffa-
10, during all of which time he maintained
high place in the confidence and esteem
of his people and the public DR..
Ball at once brought suits for
libel against the two papers named.
That against the Boston Herald
have been recently settled, by full re-
traction by that paper of it's charges
against DR.. Ball, and the payment to him
of $500, in addition to the payment by the
Herald of all the costs and expenses of
his suit. DR.. Balls suit against the New
York Post is still pending, but it is tolera-
bly, PLAIN how it must end. The defend
ants answer shows that all the founda-
ton for the charge of insult to lady was
that in a revival meeting a lady became
unduly excited, and was asked by Dr.
Ball not to disturb the meeting by her
CALCULATIONS; and that the Post had no
better foundation for its other charges.
Upon receipt of this answer DR.. Balls
counsel moved for a bill of particulars, on
the ground. that most of the allegations
of the answer were so vague and general
that he did not know with what he was
sought to be charged therein, and
that he could not safely 90 to trial unless
the particulars were furnished. He OBJ
tanned the order from the Supreme Court
of the State. An appeal was then taken
to the Court OF Appeals. This appeal has
been dismissed by the Court of Appeals
and the order for the bill of particulars
affirmed. The penalty of not complying
with the order for bill of particulars is
that the defendant be precluded from CIV
ing any evidence on the trial. This would
leave to the plaintiff simply the proof of
his damages before jury, with all the
allegations of the complaint admitted !;
and DR.. Ball and his friends are looking
for signal victory when the case comes
up for trial.

Mr.. Edmunds's Speech-What is
Said of it.

The New York sT'rib,tne says the only
word which conveys an adequate impress
sion of Mr.. Edmundss argument on the
duty of the president to furnish informa-
ton to the Senate is the word "unanswer
able" The time-serving New York Times
Mr.. Cleveland's thick -and-thin supporter
and adulator, calls Mr.. Edmunds's speech
heterogeneous" and says the pretence
that the Senate is trying to get at the
truth is pure impudence." The far more
candid New York World, sturdy opponent
of Mr.. Edmunds and of the Republican
party as it is, does not conceal its admira-
ton of the speech and calls it "the ablest
effort of Mr.. Edmunds's life," which is
saying great deal for it. The New York
Mail and Express says the senator's argu-
ment "was worthy of such an occasion and
sure to become historical" The Albany
Journal says "Mr. Edmunds's reply gives
him his natural and fitting place as the
leader of the Republican party. BY it he
rises above his colleagues as much as or
more than President Cleveland, by his
letter, put himself above a feeble Demo
cratic Senate. No one who has read Mr.
Edmundss speech can deny that the vic
tory is with him." The Boston Traveller
says However long the discussion
which has been begun in the Senate con-
corning the. prerogatlves of that body
under the tenure of-office act in the
matter of removals and appoint
ments to Office, and concerning its
right to papers on file or depos-
tied in the executive departments
may last, it is quite certain that no ADLER
presentation of the case of the Senate will
be made, than that which was contained
in the speech of Senator Edmunds." The
Rutland Herald says: "The mastery
manner in which Senator Edmunds re
piled to the presidents sophistries in re
gard to papers in the executive depart
ments leaves nothing to be desired"
We could fill columns with similar ex
pressions. Mr. Edmunds's speech ha
made profound impression and it is a
yet unanswered.

in its results for while like the second,
1t deals with artistic or inartistic associa-
tions, and thus with the art.education of
our citizens, it also deals with the health
of the whole community. OF course, it is
evident that the health of a city affects its
material welfare, and if of high average,
health will combine with truly artistic ed
ucation to raise the moral tone of our city.
If no higher motive prevailed, 1t would
seem as if pure selfshness would prompt
every man who builds, no matter what, to
make the building rs perfect rs possible.
We have much good architecture, and
that it ought to be increased and i'm
proved is plainly evident. How can this
be done
OF course, it depends primarily upon
those who are to build. That good speci-
mems of architecture may continue to be
erected, growing more and more conspic-
uous, much study and thought must be
put upon every new building.
First, the man who is TO build should
pose he is to build. Suppose the new
building is to be a house, like prudent
man, one would suppose that the pros
pective builder would first sit down and
count the cost. But there is one step
which should precede this Let him first
settle what motive prompts him to build.
Is it that he may have Il house Rrander
than his neighbour or that he may have a
home OF course the latter is the true
principle. When the above question has
been settled the problem is before him.
Haste should be left out, as it is always a
factor detr mental to true architecture.
If the problem is carefully considered,
many difficulties will present themselves,
and the sensible man will as quickly call
to his aid an architect, as the sick man a
doctor. An architect makes it his business
to plan buildings to meet certain wants. A
good architect studies both what has been
done, and is being done around him. He
gains point here and point there, and
places all of his knowledge at his patrons
disposal. He understands sanitary and
constructive, as well as artistic, principles.
1t cannot be too strongly urged that the
perfect planning and careful oversight of
the construction of every part of a build
ing is Il very important matter. Upon
these, in great measure depend health,

our citizens might and should have houses
of their own. At best, hired house is a
poor substitute for one which the occu-
pant owns.
Every business, literary and laboring
man in Burlington who buys lot, and,
carefully considering the matter, builds a
good house upon it, adds directly to the
wealth and attractiveness of our city,
while the benflt to himself and family is
inestimable. The present is a good time
of year to consider the subject of our flu
ture architecture. Let each one who has
anything whatever to do with new build
ings in our city, resolve to do what he can
to make them what they should be, thus
increasing our wealth, our health. our at
Effectiveness, general prosperity and NOR
atty.

Future Burlington Architecture.

Burlington is greatly favored in her out
ward aspects. Nature has done much for
us, and an appreciation of her gifts, love
for and striving after the beautiful, to-
gether with a realization of what artistic
houses mean, have helped many of our
citizens to add to the beauty of our
scenery, tasteful cottages and some noble
residences.
In passing through our streets one can
see contrast between our architecture
and that of many other cities of equal
size ; and it is wonderfully in our favor.
Returning spring and remarkable ac-
tivity in the building trades of other cit
les, remind us that much of the architec-
tu-e of our principal streets will soon be
changing-shall it be for the better'
If every future building were to be SO
planned and constructed that it would
add one more to the tasteful and health
fully constructed buildings previously
erected, we should have still greater rea'
sons for pride. Doubtless, the fact is not
generally appreciated, that every house
store or mill, built in Burlington adds to
to the moral and material welfare Of oul
citizens in ratio to its conformity to true
art, true construction and true sanitation
This is accomplished in two genera
ways: By affecting those whose relations
with the building are close, as those who
live in the house, who are employed as
clerks or trade in the store, and tnose who
work in the mill and by the effect that
the external appearance of the building
exerts on those who view It, The firs
case is the more practical and far reaching

The gay tide of fashion, pleasure and
frivolity has been stopped by the barrier
of the Lenton season, and society has eX
changed its sparkle and restlessness for
deep and pentential calm. To the mem.
bers of the Catholic and Episcopal
churches, the lenten season is to the year
what Sunday is to the week. For some it
Is blessed season of true penitance, de-
vout reflection and religious zeal for
others-and perhaps the majority-it is
the rest-perod, the one-day- out ofseven
of the long, wearisome year of social du
ties and amusements. Yet its influence,
like the influence of "the golden clasp
that binds the days of the week." is for
the good of society, morally and physi-
cally.
1t were impertinent and unnecessary to
question the sincerity of the fair devotee
who casts aside her finery and dons her
penitential weeds, who claps her prayer
book to her bosom and wends her way to
church with downcast eyes, We are COM
posite creatures, all of us-and who shall
say that If our "spots" be only limned
upon us from without, we may not change
them at the dictates of the sovereign will !?
sincerity, as a general rule, and the true
nature of her devotees is often hid be-
meath conventionality which any high
or noble purpose may sweep away like a
mist. 1t may belt must be-that the
penitential, sober, devoted, religious life
even of the fashionable woman, or man,
is the truer life, the inner life, while
fashion holds only superficial and tenn
porary dominion over them.
Looking thus with charity upon socie-
ty's Interpretation and use of the pene-
tential season of lent, who can fail to
yield respect to the outward observance
of the season; to the conventional formal
ism which finds its expression in sober
demeanor and dress, abstinence from
amusements, fasting and prayer, church
going and church observances II these
forms are observed with a true religious
feeling and deep moral conviction, they
will be wholesome and helpful They
represent men and women, who are in the
world, coming to realizing sense of thu
fact that they are not necessarily of thu
world. Business cares and excitements
the rush and whirl of fashionable society
and the thousand things which conspirt
to draw the men and women Of TO-DAY
away from serious thoughts and loft,
ideals, have kept them, perhaps, on
lower plane than they were distinctly con
scious Of, But now they are reminded b,
the recurrence of this penitential season
that they have been living beneath them
selves, and the opportunity to rise again
to assert their religious nature, to &C
knowledge their sins and their great deb
of love and service to the Saviour of tn
world, should be and in many cases, n
, doubt, is gladly welcomed and honestl
improved
Even for the thousands who attach N
religious significance to the observanc
of Lent, it may be a season of benefit
for whatever it does for society, is on tn
; side of self-control and restriction of fri,
: olity and idle pleasure.
