of a divided government, of small re-
suits, and warns his party of the danger
of crude and hasty legislation. Can
this be the man who thanked God that
the house of representatives was no
longer deliberative body? But what
does Mr.. Heed mean by "history?" Has
not the 51st congress already passed
into history? Has not the Judgment
of the people been passed upon it over
and over, and always in condemnation?
Does Mr.. Reed desire to appeal from the
judgment of 1890, 1891 and 1892 to that
of the next century? He cannot APP
peal to 1894 and 1895, for the work of
his congress was not then in issue.
When Mr.. Reed said that if the repub-
licans had possession of all branches of
the government they would possibly
not create perfect world, but that they
would make a world more fit to live in
than the one we have at present, we rec
ognize touch, faint, indeed, of his old
humor. But even back of the humor
there is suggestion, not quite SO faint,
of that partnership with God which the
republicans have always claimed as the
peculiar characteristic of their party.
Every intelligent man in the country
knows full we'll that if this part of the
world is not so pleasant to live in as it
once was, the difference is due to the
legislation of the 51st congress to a
greater extent than to any other cause.
1t would be interesting to know for
what Mr.. Reed thinks the country viii
accord praise to the 51st congress?
Is it for the Mckinley bill? If SO,
Maj. Mckinley is the logical candl-
date for 1896, and Mr.. Reeds aspira-
tons to the presidency are an imper-
Thence. Is it for the Sherman silver
purchase act, which by confession of
republicans brought on the panic?
Then why did Mr.. Sherman and Mr..
Reed urge it's repeal? Is it for the
passage of the force bill by the house?
If so, why do republicans now say
there will never be another force bill?
These were the measures which occu-
pied most of the time of the 51st con-
gress, and if they give it standing in
history, then history will be singularly
deaf to contemporary evidence
As to the question of revenue Mr..
Reed is equally enigmatical. He says
that all parties win maintain the right
of the house to initiate taxation, which
is true in general way OF everybody
but the senate, which has frequently
provoked remonstrnnce by originating
measures of taxation under the pretext
of proposing amendments. He then
saws that no man can doubt that the
majority of the house will furnish ade-
ouate revenue for the government. 'ac-
rcrd;ng to our sense Of public duty.
This last clause makes the whole SEN
tence ambiguous. Unfortunately there
are good many men who not only can
hnt do doubt whether the house VIII

for them to be wholly dumb, they open
their mouths to enumerate platltudes
or deal in generalitles that are abso-

unintelligible in their application to

Mr.. Reed was Delphic from the be-
ginning of his speech. Returning
thanks for the honor was purely per-
functory, and it was lukewarm, as be-
came n man who knew that no real OPP
position could have been offered, and
who also doubted in his heart whether

An Urgent Appeal for Good eaovern.
ment.
The practice OF President Cleveland
in combining his annual message to only
one or two subjects of the greatest ma
t;onal Importance is original and there
is much to be said in its favor. His
message to the congress which as
sembled in December, 1887. related only
to the tariff. The message which he
has just sent to congress related to two
subjects-the relations of the govern
ment to foreign powers and the nation
al finances.
President Cleveland sustains peculiar
relation to the congress now in session.
The house of representatives contains .
maj ority of two-thirds against the
party which the president represents.
No party has a majority in the senate.
That body has 80 democrats. But it is
probable that not over 25 of their num-
Der are in accord with President Cleve-
land on the principal measures which
he advocates, including the finances and
the tariff.
The president is isolated. therefore.
in great measure from the parties in
congress. His tariff opinions separate
him from the majority of republicans.
His currency opinions separate him
from a faction of the democratic minor
ity. If measures relating to sound
money only were the issue probably he
would be supported by majority of
both houses. 1t is not impossible that
before his administration ends both
houses may support his policy alike in
regard to the tariff and to the currency.
But at the present time the prospect
is that partisan schemes and conspira-
cies will paralyze all attempts at imam
cial legislation for the good of the coun-
try.
Yet the president will not be at fault
for this miscarriage, if it shall occur.
His message is nonpartisan in relation
to the two main subjects which he dis

CIVILIZATION A FAILURE

6cientistn.

Scientists.
The most important address made at
the, recent session of the British Assoc
citation of Scientists was that of Prof.
w. M. Flinders Petrie, d. C. L., LII. D.,
Edwards professor of Egyptology at
University college, London. DR.. Petrie
is one of the most celebrated of British
anthropologists. His address was on
Grace and Civilization" and in the
course OF it he said:
The foremost principle which should
be always in view il that the civiliza-
ton of any race is not q system which
can be changed at will. Every civilixA-
ton is the growing product of q very
complex set of conditions, depending on
race and character, on climate, on trade
and every minutia of the circumstances.
To attempt to alter such q system apart
from its conditions is impossible. No
charge is legitimate or beneficial to the
real character of people except what
flows from conviction and the natural
growth Of the mind. And If the i1nposf-
ton of foreign system Is injurious how
miserable is the forcing Of . system
such as ours, which il the most complex,
unnatural and artificial that has been
known, system developed In . cold
country amid one of the hardest, least
sympathetic and most eelf-denying and
calculating of all people OF the world.
The result is death; we make dead
house and call it civilization. Scarcely
single race can bear the contact and
the burden. And then we talk CONF
placently about the mysterious decay Of
savages before white men.
Let us now turn to our attempts on .
higher race, the degenerated and Arab
anized descendants of great people,
the Egyptians. Here there u much
ability to work ON and also good
standard of comfort and morality, COM
formable to our notions. Yet the plant
ing of another civilization is scarcely to
be borne by them. The Europeanized
Egyptian is in most cases the mere blot
tingpaper Of civilization, absorbing
what is most superficial and undesir-
able. Yet some win say: Why not
plant all we can? What can be the
harm Of raising the intellect in some
cases, If we cannot do it in all? The
harm is that you manufacture idiots.
Some of the peasantry are taught to
read and write, and the result Of this
burden which their fathers bore not II
that they become fools. cannot say
this too plainly; an Egyptian who has
had reading and writing thrust ON him
is, in every case that / have met, half
witted, silly or incapable Of taking caro-
of himself. His intellect and his health

sity of it never left me. When I read
of the ferocious attack of the Baptist
clergymen on woman during the con-
vention in Atlanta it seemed to me the
time had come. Yes, know well that
men will say And it has come to this
at last! Not even the Bible is to be
left free from woman's influence! The
assumption of a revision committee
alone is enough to be called presurp-
ton on our part. Yet at the time six
years ago that we formed the original
committee many newspapers treated
the subject with respect and-liberality,
and some even stated that they could
not see any reason why women should
be debarred from revising the Bible
any more than men. L have never yet
been able to see why l may look much
further ahead than other women do, but
l believe firmly that before women can
acquire equality with men, which is to
be the next relative position of the
sexes, the false translations of the Bible
concerning women must be corrected.
After the attack of the Baptist clergy
men In Atlanta in January 1 decided
it was time to move. If others cannot
stand the possible controversy and
stigma that may be the result of the
woman's Bible 1 can. I am now so years
old. My people live to the age of 50
or longer. L figure that in the natural
course of events 1 may expect to live
to the same age. 1 am out of all Off
cial connection with women's organiza-
tions. l want nothing. l have no sails
to trim to catch the favor of men or
women. have no offices to aspire to.
l am beyond all that now, and regard
1t as the eliminating work of my life.
am not going to say things to shock
people. am only going to bring out
what is on the surface.
Mrs. Stanton expects that at the brief
est it will require two years for the
completion and publication of the Wom-
ans Bible. Although this appeals a
very short time, in comparison with the
New Testament. it is easily explained
by comparison of the amount of work
to be done. There is no Invention of
tampering with anything whteh does
not concern woman directly. 1t is not
the women of the Bible but woman in
the Bible. And in some cases men who
married them have been brought Ia.

aus, Numbers, Deuteronomy-have al
ready been carefully studied, and the
position of woman in the Bible has been
fixed with precision. Six years ago this
work began. 1t has for some time past
been suspected that a revision of GER
tain portions of the scriptures would
show that woman had not been fairly
dealt with by Biblical students. The
main question to be determined was
whether there was any real basis in
che Bible for the assertion that man was
the master The work of the new COM
nittee of women has, they claim, al
ready progressed far enough to show
that the scriptures do not proclaim the
superiority of man. The members of
the Revision committee find on every
hand abundant evidence of the absolute
equality of the sexes. The venerable
leader of this committee is Mrs. Eliza

THE LAWYER ANswERED.-One of
Chicagos most prominent lawyers tells
good story on himself. He says: az
was when used to practice law in
little town near the center of the state.
A farmer had one of his neighbors
arrested for stealing ducks, and 1 was
employed by the accused to endeavor
to convince the court that such was
not the case. The plaintiff was posi-
tive his neighbor was guilty of the
offeuse charged against him, because
he had seen the ducks in the defend
ants yard. How do you know they
are your ducls?' asked 'Oh, should
know my own ducks anywhere re-
piled the farmer; and I'VE went into a
description of their different peculiari-
ties whereby he could readily distin-
guish them from others. Why said
l, those ducks can't be of such a rare
breed. l have seen some just like
them in my own yard. That's not at
all unlikely replied the farmer, for
they are not the only ducks have had
stolen lately"
