AN ESTIMATE OF MRS. STOWE.

We have been somewhat surprised to note
that in all the comments which her death
has called forth, the merits of Uncle

to obscure the beauty and depth of charm
of much besides that she has written. 1t
is true that few, if any women among all
who have lived, have accomplished great
work by the writing of one book, for it

shows that resurrections are very rare, yet

keeping with her works, although she had
the weaknesses of the Beecher family the
weakness in her case being an inOrdinate

Byron cannot be doubted. but those who
know most discredit the tale. although an

OF the separation very probably lies in an

REMARKS OF THE RILEYs
Concerning the Indianapolis Sentinel
and Its ThOrntoyn Reporter.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Our attention has just been called to the
Sentinel's Thorntown item, in its issue of
Aug. a. in which it purports to give an in
terview with our father. James Riley rela-
tive to his conversion from Republican
principles, which he has taught to be-
lieve, and which we do believe, to the
espousal of the Popocratic heresies. Our
father has taught us from childhood that
the Sentinel is the most unreliable un-
truthful and un-American paper published
and we believe he was right. 1t has but
one equal for downright lying and misrep-
resentation, and that is its Thorntown cor
respondent. Our father not in the
: seed-wheat business when we had free
Z silver coinage, nor for many years there
after to any extent, and the truth is the
zenith of his fame as a seed-wheat dealer
tration, when the Mckinley protection and
reciprocity gave us the best markets for
everything we raised, we ever had, which
policy our father voted for and strenuously
advocated until very recently. The injuS-
tice of the article and the glaring untrEth-
fulness of it have no justifica ton whatever.
in that it says the fathers views are
shared by two and maybe four of the sons
The correspondent knew that was untrue:
Ii he did not know it, were close at
tand and would have frankly told him
where stood: for that matter our father
would have told him the truth. The four
