The BeeCher Family.
(Iowa State Register. J


Edward Beecher, son of Lyman Beecher
and brother of Henry Ward Beecher and
Harriet Beecher Stowe, died at % What
"a remarkable family was that of Lyman
Beecher, himself one of the most re-
rnarkable men of his time. Edward
Beccber had the family taste for preach
ing. He was in many respects II power
full man In the pulpit, in which he la
bored from the time he was % to the time
of his death, almost three score years and
ten Of active ministry. The members of
this family showed that great physical en-
DURANGO necessarily precedes great men
tai achievements. Lyman Beecher was
constitutionally man of iron Edward
Beecher at the age of 81 met with an aoci
dent which necessitated the amputation
OF one of his legs He bore the suffering
without II murmur, and, what Is
miracle, at his time of life, he recovered
completely in a short time. He had at
four score and four years the vitality of n
man of thirty or forty. In energy the
members of this family seem to have been
like steam engines. A ceasloss fire burned
within them. Lyman Beecher was the
father of eleven children, large families
had not then become so questionable for
they were days of simple living and high
thinking, not days of extravagant living
and mercenary thinking. OF these fivc
still survive, of whom the author of
Uncle Toms Cabin" is one, and she is
the only one who is in failing intellect
Whatever we may think OF that book
now, 1t was II great one in its days.

From An Orthodox Standpoint.

In the east truth is everything, man "a
nothing. II must not be popularized OF
preached. 1t has always been hidden away
in obscure places, kept out of the reach OF
the multitude. Every one is familiar with
the terrible penalties prescribed in the law
books (dharn,a shastras) for those who
without warrant should come to know it.
The publication of books containing it is
a novelty, unsanctioned, indefensible from
the orthodox standpoint. Refore printing
was introduced the palm leaf books be-
longing to saint and scholar were cast into
the tank ere they died, lest they should
fall into unworthy hands.-Contemporary
Review.

The people OF the United States have
just reason to feel proud of the record Of
the Columbia in making the trip from
Southampton to New York in days, 80
hours and AZ minutes. This is by far the
quickest passage ever made over this
course by ship of war. This is certainly
n remarkable achievement, and is sure
to open the eyes OF European nations to
the value Of ships Of the Columbia type
as commerce destroyers. The Columbia
is an American ship in the broadcast and
best sense of the term. She was built of
American material, in an American ship
yard, from American plans, by American
workmen. There ought to DO room in
the navy of the United States for num-
ber OF moro vessels of this type.

ASSIGNMENTS TO THE COMMITTEES.
Finance Committee viii Have
MmInriiN In EnNOr of silver.

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.--The republican
caucus committee Of the senate was in ses-
sion for three hours today, but adjourned
until tomorrow without completing its assign
ment Of committee membership. The work
accomplished is only tentative, but so far as
1t has progressed it has corresponded with
the cast OF chairmanships sent out by the
Associated press last night. 1t is said that
Senator Teller will be chairman of the COM
mlttee of claims, Senator Hansbrough on Ii
brary, Senator Gallinger of pensions, and
Senator Shoup Of patents. There has been
an exchange OF places by which Senator
Cameron takes membership place on foreign
relations and Senator Wolcott the place on
finance, which was conceded to Mr.. Cameron
before he announced his intentions not to
stand for reelection to the senate. There is
a probability that this committee will be in
creased by the addition of only one member.
This increase is TO be made to give the re-
publicans an opportunity to put silver man
and an anti-slver man on the committee.
Senator Jones of Nevada is to be allowed to
retain his place, but as populist and not as
a republican, as heretofore. This arrange
ment viii give the republicans six members,
the democrats five and the populists one. On
financial questions the committee will stand
Z to In favor of silver.
1t is about settled that the appropriations
committee also will be increased from nine
to eleven members. This will enable Sen
ator Brice to retain his place on the commit
tee and will give the republicans two ap-
pontments there. Senator Pettigrew will re-
celve one Of these and the other will go
either to Senator Quay or to a Pacific coast
man. The populists probably will retain
their present charmanships so far as they
have them, Stewart remaining at the head of
mines and mining, Allen of forest reserva-
tions and PETER Of the committee to examine
several branches Of the civil service. 1t is
possible that Kyle may be transferred to a
less important committee than education and
labor. Butler will be given a minor COM
mittee, and Senator Jones of Arkansas will
be restored to his old place at the head of
the committee on contingent expenses.
