Urged to Recall It.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Nov. ea.


 "Hon. J. J. Van Allen:
 MY DEAR SIR-The secretary of state has submitted to me your letter of the 2oth inst, in which you tender your resignation as ambassador to Italy. hasten to express my earnest wish that you will reconsider this conclusion. The sentiments contained in your letter do credit to your conscience and Americanism, but you must allow me to dissent from their application in this case.
 "I did not select you for nomination for tho Italian mission without satisfying my self of your entire fitness for the place. I am now better convinced of your fitness than ever. You know and know that all the malignant criticism that has been in- dulged in regarding this appointment has no justification, and that the decent people who have doubted its propriety have been misled or have missed the actual considera- tions upon which it rests We should not yield to the noise and clamor which have arisen from those conditions
 My personal preference should enter very lightly into your final determination, but so far as have such preference it is emphatically that you accept the bonora. ble office conferred upon you and vindicate by the discharge of its duties the wisdom and propriety of your selection. Awaiting your early reply, am yours sincerely,
 GROVER CLEVELAND"

JOHN J. VAN ALIEN. reflections have concluded to ask you to express to the president my decision not to accept the office rendered me. II must beg that you will not infer from this action any lack of appreciation on my part of the honor conferred. On the con- trary, fully comprehend the dignity, im- portance and responsibility of the position, and having this realization l may frankly add that the nomination was extremely gratifying to me-not in a personal sense merely, but more particularly because of the opportunity afforded me of represent ing my country in such a manner as hoped might be satisfactory to the Ameri- can people and creditable to the adminis- tration.
 That Campaign Contribution. Among the comments upon my nom- ination which appeared in the public press one charge only merits attention, not be. cause it was true, but because 1t was and suppose still is believed by many persons unfamiliar with the individuals concerned and the facts essential to the formation of an accurate judgment. The charge was that I received the appointment in return for @ contribution of $50, 900 to the Demo cratic national campaign fund. While my nomination was pending in the senate 1t did not seem fitting and proper for me to offer more than an explicit denial. was aware that as an interested party my state ment would have little effect beyond the limits of my personal acquaintances. Now, however, when my action cannot be fairly attributed to purely selfish motives, it seems to me that repetition of that de- nial, which I make without qualification, should be sufficient for any honorable man.
 ''I have never denied and do not now de- ny that contributed to the campaign fund mot s5o,0oo, but yet considerable sum of money. Sincerely believing us did that 8 continuation of Republican supremacy would be not only hindrance to national progress, but in time positive menace to' the success of popular governmentand hay ing large interests at stake, was impelled by both patriotic and selfish reasons to aid the Democratic cause"
 Mir. Van Alen then continues at some length to defend his position and concludes by saying:
 At all events, it Is clear that find my self in false position with reference to this office and appointment. Acceptance of the office would make me appear willing for the sake of personal qualification to discredit in the minds of many the political party to which am attached, and to bring undeserved rebuke upon the administra- tion which has honored me and whose sue cess 1 earnestly desire
 .It therefore seems to me sufficient to add that self respect compels me to adopt the only alternative-to decline the high office to which l have been appointed. l have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,

You and / have seen more than
one mother who promised her
children things that she did not
give them. Reward and punish
ments, both were easily promised
and as easily forgotten. "You said
you would bring me drum if |
would stay at home and be good"
cried a little boy when his mother
came back empty-handed; and she
replied irritably, "Well, don't you
see 1 forgot it? I'll get it next
time" 1t is a dreadful thing when
a child loses confidence in the word
of his mother. All the Sunday
school lessons on truth-telling will
never make him truthful man,
after such fatal tuition as that.
All, these home lessons are the
ones that count; and they are do
ing a great deal to make society
the thing it is today.

that are responsible for the place

need to devote a little more study
to the home life and the lessons it
teaches, before the lessons are all
learned.

THE HOME CORNER.
BY JULIA rRUITT BISHOP.
Written for the LIGHT.

Written for the LIGHT.
Once a year at least, the teachers
of the country hold their normal
schools, to prepare themselves
more thoroughly for their work.
Those summer normals and teach
er's Institutes are grand things for
the country. These earnest and
faithful teachers gather there to
study the best methods, to COM
pare notes with one another, and
to lay before one another the diff
culties that have come up in their
own individual experience. What
close attention they give to the
smallest details of every text book,
that they may learn how to pre-
sent them in the most effective
manner to their pupils. What a
study they make. even of the pri-
mary work, with a view to start
ing the tiny tots of the country on
the road to knowledge.
And sometimes | wonder if the
teachers are the only ones who
have any responsibility. How
would it answer, do you suppose,
if we had parents normals and
parents institutes, where the peo-
pie could meet once year and
study over the probe ems that pre-
sent themselves every day? Such
vexing problems as they are! And
though we start out on them gaily
enough, how seldom we succeed in
working them out to the answer
in the book. For the sad truth is
that very few things come out
right. In every direction we see
men who are in public life strictly
for the spOils, men who lie and
cheat without many computations
of conscience, women whose COM
pany face is something very diff
ferent from their home face, women
who mistake sour temper and a
long face for religion. 1t is doubt
less an unpleasant thing to say,
but it is my firm belief that most
of these people grew up in the
homes and learned the lessons
they were taught there.
1t is humiliating, when we think
of it, that the teachers who spend
some six hours a day with your
children bring to the work of
training them more study and
preparation than do you, who are
responsible for all the years Of
their childhood and youth. Have
you learned to control yourself in
dealing with them: Do you repress
the harsh word, the frowning face?
And if not, how can you expect to
guide or control them when you
can't control yourself.

THE MEAD MURDER CASE

The Mead murder trial at Wanoa-
ca still drags along its weary way.
The prosecution have got all of their
evidence in and have rested their
case and now the defense are having
their innings.
There is no question but what the
prosecution have made out a strong
case against all of the men on trial
and especially 50 against Prior, one
that will take q good dea! OF evidence
to overthrow. They have met CON
siderable trouble from the fact that
they had to rely to q great extent
for their evidence upon witnesses
that were either implicated in the
matter themselves or were friendly
to the defense and failed to testify
the same facts that they did before
the grand jury. Then the long time
which has elapsed since the crime
was committed makes it harder to
prove the case, relying as they must
entirely on circumstantial evidence
Whether they secure a conviction or
not large number Of people will
always think that these are the right
parties.
Judge Cate, in outlining the de
Tense to the jury, denied point-blank
a large part of the States evidence
and claimed to be able to prove an
alibi for the defendants. Whether
he will succeed remains TO be seen.
After the conclusion of the present
trial, the remainder of the accused
will be place. on their trial as Access
series after the fact whether the
principals are convicted or not.
