There are occasions when naked truth
foreign to the subject under consideration
should not be thrust forward in the most
conspicuous manner possible. Those who
adopt such sensational methods expose
themselves to the suspicion] of having
some Interior and not altogether worthy
motive. This suspicion is especially I'M
desirable in connection with those who act
as promoters of that which is the OPP
posite of unworthy and selfish. The state
ment of the Rev. Mr.. Lansing in the N.
e. Methodist conference relative to Presi-
dent Cleveland seemed i'll timed. The
charge, if true, comes rather late in the
lay. There appears to have been no neces-
sity for its being made before a church
conference, which didn't wish to endorse
it, especially as Mr.. Lansing didn't ask
for endorsement. Assuming it true that
the President is occasionally victim of
inebriety it would appear that the Rev.
Mr. Lansing knew no moro about it than
hundreds of others who may have sus-
pectcd the same thing. There is pretty
strong evidence that the President was
not intoxicated on the occasion named
by Mr. Lansing, although the general
denial of the charge is fully as unsatisfac-
tory as the latter. Those who may be-
licve Mr.. Lansings statement will feel
that it has not been substantiated as
such charge, made in such manner
should be. In this respect more than Or
binary conservatism should have prevailed
for the charge involved the dignity Of the
office of President, dignity which the
people are DESTROYS of UNFOLDING even if
to do so 1t be necessary to ignore in a de-
gree the character of the man holding the
office

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

Almost eighty three years of age and
quite ill, it is not probable that the au-
thor of 'Uncle Toms Cabin" will long
survive. In fact her death is constantly
expected. Her father was Lyman Beecher,
for years pre- sident of Lane Theological
Seminary, situated at Walnut Hills, Gin
cinnati, and it was there she spent several
years of her girlhood and part of her mar
ried life, and collected the material for her
great story. After her marriage her hus-
band, Prof. Calvin E. Stone, became
president of Bowdoin College and then
they removed to Maine. Her sympathy
for the slave mothers of the South was
kindled by her own bereavement in the
death of her child, and it was then the
inspiration came to her to do something
to aid them and the plans for her book
began shaping themselves in her mind
Her mental as well as her physical
strength is failing, and many pathetic
stories are told of the childlike life she
leads at Hartford her present home.

The Mormons, who held tenaciously 60
polygamy until forced to yield to govern
ment authority, have succeeded in voting
woman suffrage into the constitution for
Utah. The Gentiles, or those whose re-
spect for womankind, has led them to
oppose the practices of polygamy, voted
against the woman suffrage clause. There
is every reason to believe that the Nor
mons hope to command the votes OF
the women. Naturally the moro women
in their households the greater their
political control. The incentive to poly
gamy here offered is powerful one and
when considered in connection with
others, inclines one to the opinion that
the belief of the average Mormon is that
polygamy is not dead.
