HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the au-
thor of Uncle Toms Cabin" is dead.
She was born at Litchfield, Conn, June
L. 1911 She was the daughter of Ly-
man Beecher and Roxana Foote. In
1886 she married Calvin E. Stowe. pro-
fessor of sacred theology in Lane the
illogical seminary. In her day she was
undoubtedly the most famous woman
in America, and it was her Uncle
Toms Cabin" that gave her this fame.
Every one knows what the story is
and the great influence it exerted on
the anti-slavery cause. Il was first
published as a serial in the National
Era, published in Washington. D. C.
The editor of the Era was Dr. CANA
liel Bailey. assisted by John G. Whit
tier. The first chapter appeared June
s. 1851, and the story was completed
April 1, 1852. 1t presented the horrors
Of slavery as they never had been be-
fore, as they never could be again. 1t
did more to arouse the moral sense of
the nation to the enormity of the
crime of slavery than anything else;
its influence was far greater than that
Of the Liberator, great as that was.
1t is safe to say that no one book ever
did so much to further any cause as
Uncle Toms Cabin did to further
the anti-slavery cause. 1t presented
concrete and graphic picture of slav-
cry that Immediately impressed itself
not only upon the minds of the Amer
lean people, but upon the minds of the
whole world. Very few books have
enjoyed such a fortune as this. 1t has
been translated into more languages
than almost any other book. except
the Bible, and more times into the
languages, The photography of the
work is truly wonderful. 1t may be
described as a great moral work,
rather than great literary work, and
we believe that this will yet be the
judgment of posterity. The weakest
drawn character in it is that of George
Harris. He is simply unnatural and
impossible. His dash of negro blood
endows him with all the graces of
mind and manner that only come from
a long line of highly refined and edu-
Gated ancestors, and which are only
brought out when the descendant is
afforded the same opportunity that his
ancestors had. 1t is the one roman
tic character in the book. The
strength of the book is its truthful

DoDGING THE ISSUE.


It is as plain as plain can be that
the Mckinley managers are doing all
in their power to dodge the currency
question and to make tariff the issue
Thus we find a leading Republican
paper of New York declaring that the
| Democrats have made the issue, and
cannot evade it, though they would be
glad to shift it. THE issue is distinct"
it continues 1.-THE decision will be
final. The contest is between protec-
ton and free trade. The Republicans
are for the protective principle, with
out reference to schedules or rates.
The Democrats are for free trade, or
a tariff for revenue
The Democrats have not yet made
the issue. but they will at Chicago
next week. 1t will be made when the
Democratic national convention de-
clares for the free and independent
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1. That
declaration will make the issue the
financial one, and not the tariff.
The view of the Washington CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
is far more correct and shows a much
better grasp of the situation than does
that of the New York paper. He says
that if the reports from Cleveland
touching the purpose of the Republican
managers to practically ignore the sill
YER question in the coming campaign
are correct, a grave mistake will be
made, and if not corrected in time
there is reason to fear that the result
will be fatal to Republican success.
And that no intelligent person who has
visited the west, or who has oppor-
tunity of comforting with men from
that section, can doubt that the feel
ing on the currency question through
out the entire west is intense and
widespread, and that the tariff and all
other questions are regarded there as
secondary to the money question.
While no one can say for a certainty
which party will win in November if
the battle is upon the true issue of the
day, still we believe that if the Repub-
licans ignore the money issue and go
running after tariff, it is moral GER
tainty that the Democrats will sweep
the country like a whirlwind If tariff
were the issue, and not money, some
thing might be predicted as to what
will occur in November But the
election returns of two years ago are
of no avail tais year. There is a new
issue in the field. and the people have
been studying it, but they have not
expressed their opinion upon it. It is
really the only matter the people care
to hear about or to discuss; all others
are dreary to them and bore them.
We hope the Mckinley managers
will continue to ignore the financial
question, because it will make certain
victory for silver, and oh, so easy.

the silver Republicans three cabinet
positions-Senator Teller, of Colorado,

The intention of our forefathers in

that the electors should be elected as

then meet and, after much discussion,
vote for who they wished. There is no
law compelling an elecltor to vote for
any man. 1t is simply custom. Re-

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Good citizens without distinction of
party desire TO see a square contest this
year between the gold and silver stand
ards, so that the uncertainty will end,
and business may adjust itself to the
conditions, whatever they will be, which
Will result from the struggle. The Re
publlcans have done their part toward
making the issue clear and sharp Their
platform, according to the testimony of
gold men and siiverites alike, stands for
the gold basis in finance and for nothing
else. Now, if the Democrats are as cour-
aseous, the line between the two stand
ards will be rigidly drawn, and every
body will know just what the election
means when he reads the returns.-St.
