The Bible and PoIysamy--Repl,

The Bible and PoIygamy--Reply.
To the Editor:
Can 1t be seriously asserted that the Bible
does not countenancs poygamyr In the patri-
archai days 1t was the rule. Where Is the con-
demnation Of this practiceH Where In II CON-
manded that man shall have but one wifef 81.
d. c. refers to Cent?, a. where II says that
"A man shall leave his father and his mother
and shall cleave unto his wife" Why. cer-
uihiyl When young man leaves home to
marry. even where polygamy is legal, he only
marries one wife at nrst. But there 10 no re-
striction as to the number of wives he shall
take Afterwards, as now proceed to show
peut Evil. H. forbids a king to multiply
wives. but this clearly does not apply to his
subjects; and Lev. xviii, IS, forbids the mar
rage OF one man to two sisters at the same
time. showing plainly that a man might marry
as many wives as he chose. II they were not too
nearly related To say the Least, the Bible
eountenanees poygamy. 81 D. O." says that 4
wife who advocated a change Of religion to her
husband was guilty Of treason, and that treason
Is rightly punished by death-citing the case Of
Major Andre and Arnold. The hanging of a spy
does not begin to compare with the case Of n
man who batters his wife's brains out with
stones The verses Deut. xiii, $40 are un-
surpassed In barbarity by the most atrocious Dor
lions OF any legal code that ever existed. and 1
am utterly at loss to understand how any man
who processes Christianity can attempt to pal
late or defend them. FOUR.

A HOPEFUL VIEW.

No one who knows Ex-Mayor Abram
8. Hewitt will accuse him OF optimism.
But before he left for Europe last Sat
urday he drew a very hopeful picture
OF affairs and OF the prospects for the
future In this country.
Mr.. Hewitt declares that the condi-
ton OF mankind In better to-day than
ever before: that labor gets higher
wages and the wage buys more; that
the world produces more than ever. and
its products are more evenly divided.
The aggregate OF unemployed labor Is
great, but so is the aggregate OF unem-
ployed capital. and when enterprise
sets the one free II will decrease the
other. Mr. Hewitt believes that the
settlement OF the tariff question has
already revived business, and that
activity will speedily succeed the recent
protracted inactivity.
Mr.. Hewitt says he does not sympa-
thize with personal attacks on such men
as Gllroy and Croker. They want good
government, and are ready to do their
best to secure It. but they also want
Tammany to get the profit, and OF that
the ex-Mayor does not approve. He de.
sres reform from another direction. He
would restrict the suffrage and make
Judges appointive, and he considers the
British system OF government the best
| now In existence"
| As Mr. Hewitt lays the blame OF oui
| municipal evils on the good citizens,
| the good business and professional mer
who are spoken OF as the bone and sineW
OF our municipalities" and who have
sat supinely by while those municpali
ties have been and are governed by for
eiRners," he will doubtless return hom'
before election. and as one OF the new
| Committee of Seventy do his best tC
remedy the Ills OF which he complains.

Needle-worked sateen Corsets,

An attractive black corset il the fancy
sateen. The material made for the
trade comes In a variety of
stripes. There are single lines In
white. pink, blue and yellow, and clus-
tiers OF two. three and Ave lines. When
the corset is stitched and ready for
the bones 1t goes to the embroidery
room. where discs, crescents, stars, crys-
tails and flower patterns are hand or
machine stitched with floss. The weav-
ers' and decorators work Is SO cleverly
done that 1t is difficult to tell sateen
from a satin corset.
