The rash and inconsiderate remarks
made by the Rev. DR.. J. J. Lansing, in
reference to President Cleveland. which
have occasioned so much comment
throughout the country. should prove
a lesson to other preachers and make
them a little more careful about re-
failing rumors and circulating scan
dals.
If there are any persons who. more
than others. should avoid bearing false
witness against their neighbors, it is
men who occupy the pulpit. 1t is the
fashion, nowadays, for preachers to
find good deal of fault. They can
score people whom they desire to hold
up to public reprobation with complete
assurance that they are not in any
personal danger. But they have no
right thus to take advantage Of their
sacred position to attack any 1ndlvid-
ual. be he president or peasant.
1t is risky to repeat in public some
thing told in private concerning any
mans character And it is wrong, any
how. If it is true. that is not the prov
ince of the preacher. If it is false,
what wretched position the retailer of
Islander from the pulpit puts himself
in, To repeat what the preacher does
not know about a person. or denounce
what one has not read or investigated
is both wrong and unmanly. In this
instance the attack was libel.
1t has been customary for political
enemies of President Cleveland to tell
all kinds of stories concerning his per-
sonal character and habits. 1t is graf
flying to see that Republican acquaint-
ances and friends come to his rescue
since he has been assailed from the
pulpit. and that they bear testimony
to his high character and consistent
life
The following. clipped from the Phil
adelphia Ledger. is expressive of the

false and malevolent accusations, but
we believe that no President other than
Mr.. Cleveland has been pursued by the

the victims of this form of cowardly
malevolence and gratuitous lying.

is an admission that he uttered things
that he knew nothing about except
from hearsay. 1t meant that he was a
repeater of scandal. That he was

PERFECT LAWFUL roLERAT1oN.

We rise to remark that we have no
desire to enter into religious discus

any arguments in opposition. We be-
lieve in keeping every day holy and
allowing others to do as they please
about it.
The foregoing is from the Ogden
Press. We concur. But let it Fbe I'M
derstood The Herald started no ''reli-
gious discussion" Every religious
element introduced into the Sunday
laws dispute came from our Ogden
contemporary. The last sentence in
the Press paragraph suits The Herald
exactly as matter os belief. We are
with the Press in that sentiment. AT
the same time we are for the ration
al and humane enforcement of the law
or else its repeal. AS to religious dis
cussion, The Herald has no side to
take on questions of belief or disbe-
lief, and no sympathy with laws to
foster or oppose a creed or a system
of faith and practice. Perfect tolera-
ton of religious sentiment and abSo-
lutte freedom of religious worship and
practice up to the line of valid law,
is The Heralds position on that ques-
ton.

prKINLEYISM DEAD.

GAS things stand today it is doubtful
whether the Democratic party could
carry six states in a presidential election.
In 1892 il gave Cleveland the electoral
vote of twenty-three. 1t takes party of
uncommon ability in certain directions to

Cleveland Leader.
Our Ohio contemporary takes a gloomy
view of Democratic prospects, and it may
be correct; but it should not overlook the
fact that it was the enactment of Nc
Kinley tariff schedules and the passage
of force bills by the Fifty-first Congress
which made it possible for the Democrat
ic presidential ticket to carry twenty
three states in 1892. The Leader is insist
