DEATH AGAIN IN OUR MIDST.
Mrs. William d. Pruden No More.

Our entire community is again wrap
ped in the deepest gloom. Death, like
pail, has lowered DER US, casting its
impenetrable shadows within the very
hearts and souls of the people. Sadness
is written in the countenances Of men
and our women give expression to feel
ing in food Of tears because Mrs.
Mollie Norfeet Pruden, wife Of Hon.
W. D. Pruden, is no more. She died,
after a brief illness, in the morning of
Monday, the 3rd, dispite the untiring
efforts of skill and the constant watch
and prayerful opportunities which went
to Heaven from the hearts Of. loving
friends, ministers to her comfort and
anxious servitors who necessarily la
bored for her restoration:
Born and reared in our midst, she
was well known to all our people and
ever enjoyed the unbounded esteem Of
all classes in all schools Attractively
brilliant, pure and good, she early be-
came central figure in every circle Of
sociBl life and moved the lively peer
of any companion however exalted.
By nature and by practice she was,
in all respects, most kind to the poor,
generous IN every friendly relation and
benevolent in aiding, most cheerfully,
to alleviate the distresses of all in need
AS wife, mother, a daughter, a
sister and friend. she was faultlessly
faithful, devoted and true. It has
never been our lot to know more
charming friend or a more brilliant ex-
emplar of the projections of womanly
virtue and real goodness. In going to
the Heavenly land, she leaves behind,
as fit legacy for those she left, that
well deserved reputation which alone
is won by the intelligent, the virtuous
and the good. God keep forever green
her memory as sweet SAVIOR of cheer,
comfort and encouragement to the null
titude of her surviving friends.

Xxx In speaking of presidential
possibility in 1892, the Philadelphia
Times says it is needless to discuss
Grover Cleveland. Whether he
would be an available candidate de-
ponds wholly upon events and cir
cumstances to transpire. No num-
Der of public dinners; no measure OF
political management no cunning
political deliveranees can. either help
or hinder Grover Cleveland as a can
didate for 1892; and it is simply a
waste of worry and effort for either
friends or foes to discuss the. question
now. A party condition will present
itself early in 1892 that must either en-.
tirely overlook him as candidate or
summon him to the field with voice
that none can misunderstood or dis
obey. Don't fret over the Cleveland
issue for 1892; it will solve itself in
due time without the aid Of political
managers. All know just what is his
faith and what is his public policy. -

Encouraging Reports Of Missionary Work
Among the Indians.

NEWARK, N. j., November N.-Two hun
dred delegates to the tenth convention Of the
Women's National Indian Association as
sembled in the Third Presbyterian Church yes
terday. Mrs A. s. Quinton, of Philadelphia.
presided. In her address she said that 10 tribes
had been reached by the mission branch, and
that legislation for the benefit of the Indians
had been commenced. The annual receipts
were $4,000, and the expenditures $4,000. Miss
Kate Foote, chairman of the committee on
National Indian Legislation, reported
that more consideration had been
given the question by Congress,
and that the methods OF agents had received
closer investigation than hitherto. The cause
of civilization among the Indians was being
helped in every way. The removal of Indians
to the Indian Territory was steadily going on.
Mrs o. ]. Hiles, State Secretary of the Wis
consin Indian Association, reported on the
Indian legislation in that State, where there
are reservations Good work had been done
for the Indians.
Umted states Commissioner General Morgan
made lengthy address, in which he COM
mended warmly the womans organization. He
told what great good had been accomplished.
He favored an additional Congressional appro-
priation for Indian schools. Addresses were
also made by DR.. William Hayes Ward, DR..
Holliteld and lady missionary who had spent
six years among the Dakota Indians. The fol
lowing officers were elected: Honorary Presi-

EXPERIENCE WITH TRUSTS.

The experience of commerce with regard
to trusts may begin to open the eyes of those
who six months ago were trumpeting on
behalf of these combinations that they are
the most improved form of commercial
organization. After the disclosures of facts
which are now coming out are completed, it
may dawn upon these gentlemen that they
are left IN a rather foolish attitude.
Concerning one of the few independent
white lead concerns, in Cincinnati. it is
stated that while before the trust was formed
it had TO solicit orders it now has more
orders than it can fill. The trust has to
bear the cost of limiting production, while
the outside concerns can take the business.
The Blnder-twine Trust raised a row BY
putting up prices some months ago, and the
farmers looked for some substitute to bind
their wheat. The result is that firm in
Montreal has just suspended with several
hundred thousand dollars Of stock on hand
because of an utter absence of demand.
This is not more destructive than the re-
cent decision of case by the Supreme Court
of Michigan. This involved some stock of
an estate placed in o trust combination,
which the heirs sought to recover, and have
accounted for. The Supreme Court held
that the trust agreement was SO wholly out
side the law that it would not undertake to
adiudicate the rights of the respective
parties to such an illegal combination.
After these facts, together with those COM
ing out about the Cotton Seed Oil and
Sugar Trust, it is only necessary to remark
that if people want to put their money
where they cannot get at it or prevent it
from being speculated with, or wish to
drive away business from theirown concerns
to their competitors, the trust scheme affords
full facilities for accomplishing those un-
selfish ends

NOT ITS BUSINESS.

To those who examine the subject care
fully it will be clear that Mr.. Henderson,
one of the delegates of the United States in
the Pan-American Congress, INDUCED in an
unnecessary display of buncombe by his
speech about his readiness to welcome the
adoption of republican government by other
nations No one disputes the welcome
which the New World will give to nations
adopting the republican form of govern
ment; but the pointraised by the South Amer
ican delegates was very pertinent, namely,
that 1t is not the business of the Pan-Amer-
ican Congress, but of the several Govern
menI4 which constitute it, to determine the
question of recognizing new Governments.
The Congress is organized for certain specific
purposes, and we think that it would puzzle
even Mr.. Henderson to discover in his Gre
dentials any authority to exercise the powers
of the administration by recognizing the
new Government of Brazil The Congress
very properly tabled Mr.. HendersOn's reso-
luton, and it is to be hoped that the gen.
tleman will learn the value of second
thought before going further in diplomatic
business.

PROPOSED LEGAL REFORMS.

The remarks which ex-President Hayes
recently made, taking the Cronin trial as
an example of the need of reform in GRIM
inal Jurisprudence, contain some points of
Importance. The fact that seven weeks
were occupied and 1,O91 jurors examined
before jury could be obtained in that case
of course suggests the necessity of so revis-
ing the laws that man who reads the news
papers shall not be disqualified. The old
rule has already been much modified in this
respect, and the operation is still going on,
so that it will not be long before con-
struction which secures the least intelligent
men for jurors will be abolished.
But President Hayes proposes a more
novel and radical reform by suggesting the
repeal of the present requirement that a
unanimous verdict shall be necessary. This
looks like decided innovation at first; but
upon reflection it appears that there is no
reason why practical justice may not be Sc
cured by verdict of three-fourths of the
jury. Nine-tenths of the failures of justice
arise from the stubbornness of one or two
Jurors. The most usual resort of crooked
legal practice to enable noted wrong-doers
to escape their deserts, is that which was re-
ported as tried in the Cronin case to get
one man to "hang" the jury. The authori-
cation of verdict of three-fourths the jury
would prevent such mistriaIs; and any dan
ger of injustice from such a verdict could be
guarded against by requiring verdict that
is less than unanimous to be approved by
the Judge.
The tactics by which the progress of noted
criminal cases are obstructed and the many
instances in which justice has been defeated
certainly show the need of some legal re-
forms such are suggested by the ex-Pres-
ident.

lied and uncivilized world has arrived at is
that there is no way of insuring absolute
success in marriage. The wife whom the
Chinese ministers of State recently chose
for the Emperor is already in disgrace; she
does not suit her husband and he will have
nothing to do with her. Many fond papa
and solicitous mamma in this land of en-
lightenment and freedom has encountered a
like miserable fortune after devoting years
to the settlement of sops and daughters in
marriage. The care of parents may lessen
the risks of matrimony, but it cannot of a
surety secure conjugal happiness for man
or maid. The greatest responsibility lies
upon the contracting parties themselves.
If he takes as much care in choosing wife
as he does in buying piece of real estate,
and if she regards the march to the altar as
considerably more momentous than a
waltz, there is a chance of happy mar
riage as the result. The trouble as rule is
that neither party grasps the true meaning
OF the marriage contract.
