The hearing of the opposition
held last week failed to accomplish any
thing important toward showing frauds
ON the part of the Norway municipal
officers as designed, much of the testi-

The Demands of Modern Journalism.

The mossback and halcyon days of edit
ing a newspaper are dead and inferred in
the same moss covered grave with the pig
headed old fogy of ancient times. To serve
the alert and wide awake public man
has to be constructed on high plane and
catchy basis. 1t takes a sort of luminous
and electrical journalist to write in this
advanced age of civilization. He has to be
able to write bright things and keep it up,
or he is soon relegated to the rear as typ
ical has been. The people of the world
are enveloped in an intellectual storm, and
their brain throbs and throbs-incessant-
ly-for brainy fash shots, and the news
paper man who is not erected on this ny
pothetical hypothesis is an oblivious no.

To the Editor or the Eagle.
DEAR SIR:-I cut the following dis
patch from an eastern paper:
CLEVELAND, O., March 6.-The union
of All Christian denominations is the OBJ
ject before the Episcopal denomination
mere.
A meeting was held last night and an
organization affected. Tbs society is
known as the Church Unity society. An
address was made by Bishop Leonard
in advocacy of the union of denomina-
tiOns.
The means whereby such an object can
be accomplished were discussed. ana IL
was thought best to invite all other de.
nominations to appoint committees and
meet the committee appointed for the
same purpose by the Church Unity so
ciety.
This movement ought to be as inter-
esting to the west as to the east. 1t Is,
in fact, a movement in which the
Episcopal church is taking an active
interest in all parts of the country. The
antiquity, simplicity and orthodoxy Of
her creed, the Apostles creed; her in
heritance and use Of the book OF COM
mon prayer for public worship; her
proposition in the lambeth Articles
in which she makes an open statement
of her position on this settlement of the
divisions growing out of the reformation,
are contributions toward this greatly
desired result. The Outlook" in a late
number says, in comparing the PROPOSE
tions of the Christian denomination on
church unity with the Lambeth articles,
that the Episcopal church is the only
one that has made any definite PROPOSE.

AN OUTRAGE ON DECENCY.

We are now to have the disgusting de-
tails of the BreckinridgeP Pollard suit. 1t
is the case of a trusting, defenceless
woman at first the girl-victim, as she
claims, of a man who is now rich, old
and powerful. Whether the poor girl,
once ruined and then abandoned as a
mistress, still farther sinned, is of little
consequence. In her extremity she APP
pealed to the one whom she says is
father of her children, who instead Of
making some restitution or offering
some relief, spurned and farther de-
graded her. Such methods of defense as
Breckenridge has resorted to to blast his
victim beyond all hope Of redemption,
are shameful, outrageous. Alleged re-
spectacle citizens have gone on to
the stand and swore to their
own depravity, to crush woman
with whom they claim to have
associated in vice. Where is the
boasted chivaIry of old Kentucky. The
women of Kentucky ought to see to it,
that this man Breckenridge and his
friends find Kentucky too hot for their
future comfort. The day is fast disap-
pearing in which helpless and trusting
wemanhood can be utterly crushed by
man, however powerful and wealthy he
may be. The number of bright and
intelligent but dependent girls that are

PEOPLE AND EVENTS,

They buried old General Early on the

works that he built himself in 1864.
A San Francisco reporter sent to make
an important inquiry as to whether Mrs.
Stanford was to marry cx-President
Harrison noticed that across the dead
senator's favorite chair a strap was
buckled. The reporter had his answer.
II is reported that Mrs. L. S. Grant has
quite decided not to publish her
memoirs of her husband, as it is her
wish that this book shall not be pub
lished until after her death. Several
publishers nave had the opportunity TO
look it over, and it is said that one has
offered $50, 900 for the work.

the liberal way in which they have been
