A PRAYER fol- his Recovery.

The severe. II not fatal, accident which
Rev. Dr. Edward BceCher suffered few
DAYS since, has aw akened good deal fin
terest and sympathy in the extensive circle
OF his friends and acquaintance "a well as
BY many others who have known his abi-
ity. learning. and his loyal devotion to
truth aud duty. Vigorous and active,
though born In 1903, he was returning to
his home from an evening meeting in the
Parish of which he was pastor, wher =,
stepping from the car, his leg WAS crushed
beneath the wheel, rendering aluputation
necessary. Il is said he has kept up his
excellent statr Of heal h va good deal of
outdoor eNepis especial in walking
long d siarces, ard that therefore the
chance ct his rCctvttN ste decidedly in
his favor. uotN understanding his idN need
age. The son of Rev. Dr. Lyman Beech
err, the brother. and ten years the senior
of Rev Henry Ward Bee her, he possess
es some of the higher qualities of his dis
tinguished father and brother. His theo-
logical learning is probably more thorough
than was that of either of them, and his
logic is more exact, and his ethical stand
ard more sternly infle xible than was that
of the great Brooklyn pastor. He is
the author of various works. His "Con-
dict of Ages" published nearly forty
years since, is book Of deep learning and
great power. His writings on Primitive
Christianity, issued years later, evincc his
profound acquaintance with theological
history. aud his uucompromising fidelity
to what he believed to be the truth. The
devotion and affection with which he
stood by his gifted brother in his years of
terrible trial, are well remembered by the
public. and the courage aud cheerfulness
with which he is enduring his present
misfortune are proofs of his heroic man
hood and his strikingly made up religious
character.

The Louisville Courier-Journal scolds
the New York sun for -'belittling the men,
who. for the last six years, have been fore
most in the Democratic party. who have
shaped its politics and fought its battles y
With the remembrance of 1888 fresh in its
mind the Sun ia not inclined to fancy this
particular style of generalship. These
gentlemen were eminently successful
in shaping the politics of the party, but
when it came to the people their success
ended; they would not take stock in
their theoretical vagaries, con ;equeutly
the Democracy encountered defeat.
The Sun has strong disliking to the
Cleveland wing of the party, which seems
to be diminishing in numbers, while those
who sympathize with Sam Randall and
those of his school are on the increase.
The Free Traders must yield their extreme
position and consent to a liberal COM
promise with the Protectionist Democrats,
or consent to remain long time in minor
ity and out Of power.

Some of the Mugwump and Democratic
papers abound in depreciating adjectives
because President Harrison has not re-
appointed M, Pearson, Postmaster OF
New York. It would be difficult for Us
even to feign anything Of this kind. ANY
professed Republican who had any par,
directly of indirectly with the truck and
dicksr" by which the electoral vote Of the
Empire State was given to Cleveland In
1854, certainly is not entitled to q reap
pointment to one Of the most important
offices in the country after he has already
held it for eight years. The most patriot.
ic and honest civil service does not require
this. There is certainly no occasion for
tears over Pearson.

The New York Ev, ming Post pretends
to find encouragement for the free traders
in the re cent election in Rhode Island.
This plainly shows the dishonesty Of the
Cleveland organ. That paper knows per-
fectly well that the tariff has nothing
whatever to do with the contest which
has recently been going on in Rhode
Island. The question of Prohibition is
up, and the Democrats as in New York,
New Jersey and other States, draw to
their support the bulk of the liquor voters,
while the Republicans are more or less
divided as to how far Temperance Legis-
lation can be successfully carried. In
this election, as in other years when the
liquor question has had the lead, the
Democrats gain temporary advantage.
Whenever national politics and the issues
of Protection and Free Trade are fairly
pending before the people, the Republic
cans have decisive majority even in spite
of the treacherous and INSCRIPTIONS be-
havior of the Providence Journal and its
clique of Mugwumps.

The Philadelphia Press remarks that it
has been accepted as a matter Of course
that the represe ntat on Of the states in the
electoral coll, &c of 1892 would be based on
the apportionment Of congressman to be
made under the census to be taken next
wear. But the New York Press doubts the
soundress of this conclusion for the reason
that The Fifty-second Congress, which will
be in existence when the presidential cleo
ton takes place, must be chosen under the
present apportionment. The Constitution
says that each state shall have repre-
sputaion ia the electoral college equal to
the number OF Its representatives
and senators in Congress, but in
November, 1892. the states will be repre-
scented according to the present apportion
ment aud congressman will be chosen on
the new appoftionment at the same time
electors are chosen. The question is then
whether the electoral college shall be APP
portioned according to an existing or a
prospective Congress. 1t is certainly an
interesting point and should be definitely
settled before the opening of the next
national campaign. 1t is especially i'm

Sec'y.

THE Republicans of this county
have fixed the date of the primaries,
and the convention for the nomina-
ton of delegates to the constitutional
convention to meet at the capital on
July 4th, and the Democrats will
soon do likewise. The election will
be held on the first Monday in June.
This county is entitled to three dele
gates, and the all-important point is
the selection of thoroughly compe-
tent men, without regard to their
party affiliations. The Mormons will
no doubt make an effort to " fix" " the
convention so as to have a constitu-
ton framed that will again give that
denomination immunity from the laws
that others must obey-in short,
place their abominable creed first
and the laws of the country as Sec
ondary consideration, on the false
ground of "religious liberty" which
in the case OF the Mormon creed
means religious license. The State

American doctrine of "church before

vate letter from M. J. Collins, of
Warrens, to his partner, A. Benson,
of this city, we learn that the camp 10
rapidly moving on to prosperity, and
among the ledges that are now being
worked by the owners, are the May
Flower, by King and Johnson, who
have about eighty tons Of fine ore;
the Little Giant, by the Riebolts,
has out $50 tons of much richer ore
than has ever come out of the ledge;
the W. B. Knott, by N. B. Wiley,
has out forty tons Of rich ore, and the
parties working on the Tramp have
out good quantity of excellent rock.
The Silver King, worked by Orcott
and Helm, have been running tun-
mel and are in on the ledge, which
prospects well. Messrs. Brooks,
Brown and Smith have discovered q
new ledge up Smiths gulch, which
has all the indications of becoming
one of the bonanzas of the camp. A
large number Of persons are expected
in there during the coming season,
and when the camp is fully developed
you will find sufficient wealth there
to justify boom that will not flatten
out in q short time.
