Your correspondent would have 1t believed that tho

Of the British Empre.' There are facts showing this
view to be narrow and unjust The most radical
members OF the Irish Parliamentary party have been
too hagnanImous to utter an unkind word about the
dead statesman. In the House OF Commons Mr.. Glad
spoke nobly and eloquently Of the character and
public life Of his former political and official associate
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy speaking for Ireland In the ab
sence of Mr.. Parnell, paid graceful and generous
tribute to the memory Of the great Enghshman Fur
ther. Senators Stewart Hoar and Hawley have been
outspokcn in their sympathy with tho Homo Rule
movement and at great public meetings have ad-
vahced reasons justifying Irelands legislative nde
pendence These are Senators who supported tho res

pleases Mr.. Roosevelt The desire seems universal
that Mr. Bright should go to the tomb HIS glory not

nnnGHLrN,s DEFENSE.

Some of the most remarkable logic ever
heard, in or out of a court of ustice, is be-
ing used for the benefit, presumably, of the
defendants in the Cronin case. Judge Wing
has particularly distinguished himself by
the extraordinary arguments he has present
ed for mis- client, the Detective Coughlin.
He has insisted that the finding of two
knives. supposed to belong to the murdered
man. in Coughlin's pockets, cannot by any
means incrimlnate Coughlin. because, if in
nocent, Coughlin could not have had DR..
Cronin's property in his possession, and if
guilty, he would not have taken the risk of
keeping the knives. If the jury accept this
kind of reasoning none of the prisoners will
be convicted.
The argument for the moment, it cannot
be denied, is plausible, and, if it were fact
that men who shed their fellows blood al
ways did take every precautIon against de-
lection, would really have little weight
But the records of crime have taught us that
a murderer often plans and provides fully
and skillfulIy for his safety up to a certain
point, and then by some glaring blunder
knots the moose about his neck. The fact
that the knives were found in Coughlin's
possession-if it is certain that they were
once DR.. CrOnin's-Only proves that the de-
tective was singularly sure suspicion would
not reach him, or else that he merely made
a blunder such as other criminals in similar
circumstances have made The attorneys
for the State will probably point out the
flaw in Judge Wings logic.
The Cronin trial has not been remarkable
for anything more than the attempt of the
prisoners attorneys to supply the want of
evidence in their clients favor by daring
distortions of fact and logic in their argu-
ments.

spect to which the deposii0rs-the class who
most need all that can be realized on their
own account-are naturally anxious for the
selection Of an administrator in their inter
est.
But experience shows that whether as
signees. or receivers in cases OF insolvency
are chosen by one side or another, or with
the concurrence of all sides, there is too
frequently cause for complaint and criticism
upon the matter of realizing from the assets
and distributing the proceeds. Most gener-
ally delay is the conspicuous fault, by which
creditors are kept so long out of their share
of the salvage as to make it Of little account
beyond a bitter reminder when it reaches
them. Sometimes again, expensive costs of
litigation and fees for services absorb the
greater part Of what is left after insolven-
cies Finally, there are numerous instances
where objections are made to properties be-
ing sacrificed by injudicious handling, or
for the benefit of others than the creditors.
1t is needless to go over the list of such in
stances Even in the Allegheny courts
there are records of comparatively recent
cases showing the SLOW ana unSatisiaetory
progress of such settlements.
As both speedy and a full realizationis
such a desideratum to the hundreds, often
thousands of people effected by bank sus-
pensions. the qualifications of receivers in
such cases are of great importance. Large
financial responsibility and known capacity
are such factors that Of late in all the lead
ing cities, Pittsburg among the number,
chartered corporations, with large capital
and trained fiduciary agents, have organized
for executing such trusts under the super
vision of the courts. That there was room
for such a division of labor will not be ques-
toned by any one who is familiar with the
difficulties, dissatisfaction and waste which
so often result from the commission of
such work to the private hands of even the
most trusted individuals.

WHICH Is THE FRAUD

Senator Farwell announces, in connec-
ton with his oft-repeated declaration that
the civil service system is sham and
fraud, that he will not introduce his bill to
repeal the law, but will kill the system by
refusing appropriations for its support. In
other words, the Senator's appetite for spoils
will develop into an attempt to secure by
indirection what his party will not dare do
directly.
But let us see what this means. The
Senator's party won the last national cam
paign on a platform in which it pledged
itself to maintain and extend the civil
service reform system. The Presidents
message tes:ifes to the value of that system.
The Senator's idea, therefore, is that his
party shall belle its professions, and the ad-
ministration be forced to abandon its princi-
piles based on experience, in order that the
Senator and his followers shall have their
hunger for spoils appeased.
This makes it the question not whether
the reform, but whether Senator Farwell or
his party are the sham and fraud. Let us
hope that it may prove to be only the
Senator, as that would be nothing novel.

The Orlein Of Mormoni.n.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
An article was recently published in THE
DISPATCH treating of MQrmonism. may be
able to add some further facts Of interest. A
few years ago I visited Amity, Washington
county, Pa, gaining facts from the old inhabi-
tants, and especially from the histories of
Washington county, revealing the following
Amity was located by Daniel Dodds in the year
1870. Here, in the year 1915, Mormonism was
started by Rev. Solomon SDalding, grad
uate of Dartmouth College. He died here
and was buried close to the Presbyterian
Church. The graYestone bears marks made by
relic seekers as it has been Clipped and almost
all carried away. When Rev. Spalding settled
here he was not able to preach. and was notori-
GUS for hunting for American antiquities, such
as mounds, for the purpose of tracing the abO-
riginles to the "Original source"-a portion Of
the losr tribe of Israel. While pursuing these
investigations and to while away the tedious
hours he wrote a romance, leaving the reader
under the impression that he had gained his
knowledge from plates found in the mounds,
containing the heiroglyphies. which he had de-
ciphered. He often amused bis friends by read
ing parts of his fabulous story.
After his composition had formed many
chapters he resolved to publish the work under
the name Of 'The Manuscript Found" and
entered into contract with Mr.. Patterson, Of
Pittsburg. to publish the same. For some
cause the contract was not fulfilled. The
manuscript remained in Mr.. Patterson's pos
session about three years, until Mr.. Spalding
called for it. In the meantime a journeyman
printer by the name Of Sydney Rigdon copied
the whole of the manuscript, and hearing of
Joseph Smith, Jr., digging for money by the
aid of necromancy Rigdon resolved in mis- own
mind to make it profitable to himself. An in
teryiew took place between him and Smith.
Terms were agreed upon. the whole manu-
script underwent a partial revision, and in proc
ess of time, instead of finding money, they
find curious plates, which, when translated,
turned out to be the Golden Book of Mormon,
which according to the prediction contained in
these words (see Mormon Bible. page 504): go
to the land of Anturn. unto hill which shall
be shown, and there have deposited unto the
Lord all the sacred engraVings concerning this
people,"
Such is the account of the most stupendous
delusiOn that has been perperrated for many
centuries. To place this fact beyond doubt
and 10 prove that the book of Mormon was
originally written in Amity. Washington
county, the following names stand as witnesses:
Rev. ]. w. Hamilton, pastor of Presbyterian
Church at Amity; ]. Miller, Esq, who made the
cottiu for Rev. Mr.. Spalding; letter from Mrs.
Spalding and John Spalding, brother; A. Ely,
d. D., pastor of Congregational Church, Mon
son, o.; D. K. Ely, principal of Monson Acad-
emy; Henry Lake. Aaron Wright and DR..
Hurlbut, of Salem, o. ]. BEAMER.

REMARKABLE sENsIRTLrTY.

There is food for our special wonder in the
information which purports to come from
Hayti that the appointment of Frederick
Douglass as Minister to,the colored Republic
is very unsatisfactory to that Government
The exquisite reason offered for that dissatis-
faction is that if the President of Hayti
gives state dinner Mr.. Douglass will sit at
the same table with the French or British
Minister. The diplomatic sensibility which
will accept the hospitality of a colored Presi-
dent but will be wounded by sitting at the
same table with a colored Minister of the
United States would be something fearfully
and wonderfully made. This, would be
especially SO In the case of the French Mini
ster, at whose capital colored man, Alex
ander Dumas, has been one of the noted lit
erary lights This remarkable trouble may
be explained by the fact that it comes to us
through some of the naval officers who de-
veloped remarkable epidemic of disability
when ordered to take Mr.. Douglass to HaytI
in their vessels.

The first public speech Tom Reed was ever

account am indebted to Edgar Yates.
