THERE'S no American, living or
dead, North or South, who stood
nearer the hearts cf the people, or
whose memory is held with more
sacred affection, than General
Robert e. Lee. All on lhis side of
the wiped-out but never lobe for
gotten cline" feel that they know
him; but there is still much Of bis
history and that of his family and
his ancestors that has never yet
been told. On this account the
TIMES is pleased to note the an
nouncement of Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly regarding the series
of notable Lee papers that begin i'm
the February issue. The first IL

E.Lee and the Times in Which
They Lived" by Mrs. Judge Roger
A. Pryor, of New York. The whpse

colonial times down to the present
date, will be enriched with numer-
GUS portraits and illustrations Ut

ed, and large speaking llkehess
in water colors of General Lee
Altogether these articles will form
a valuable addition to the history
of the great men of the nation.

sermons on the second coming of
Christ last Sabbath afternoon. He
took as his subject "The Church. :"
The church is distinct from Israel and
from the Kingdom. Its membership
does not correspond altogether with
the membership of the visible church,
but is made up Of believers in Christ,
who are baptised by his spirit into
His body. 1t has at least three dis
tinguishing and essential character
isties, viz. -headship of Christ, fell
lowship Of believers, and administra-
torship of the Holy Ghost. The
church is rot an educational society

NOW HE PLAYS POLITICS.

We suppose it is on the principle
that tmisery loves company" that
induced Senator German, of Mary
Hand, to4nform Republican leaders
in the Senate that the sold man
that is Cleveland WIS outgeneral-
ing them politically and that, as
things were going, he would "eat
them up" by next fall. No doubt
Mr. German and other democratic
senators have got a realizing sense
Of Mr.. Cleveland's sagacity as pol
iticiau, for he has succeeded in
turning down" his party, pretty
thoroughly while never forgetting
hi1'own personal interests.
But Mr.. Cleve and is not as. wise
as Mr. GorEan would have us be-
heve for in destroying the demo-
cratic chances for success this year
he has lost all chances for "A third
term if this is his ambitioa and that
it is no one. can doubt who has
watched the presidents peculiar
political methods. In these he has
always posed as innocent Of any
personal ambition. What he has,
according to his friends, been put
forward to do to subserve the inter
terests of his beloved country. He
is the most unambitiOus Of men; he
don't want Office, he never did and
take our word for 1t he never will
so long as the game he has invent
ed to deceive the dear people CON
tinues to succeed rs it has in the
past.
No one can doubt that Grover
Cleveland is shrewd politician.
He has played his cards we'll from
the first day that he stepped into
the City Hall at Buffalo IN the ma
yor of that city. He was for reform
then--c,ty reform-when he mount
ed still another step and walked
into the Executive Mansion at Al
banv he was still for reforn-state
reform land when he walked into
the White House in Washington
the same old story stuck to him
But the last reform-tariif re form
waA too nalch for,the- couatry and
it killed the democratic party and
would have knocked him "higher
than kite" if he had been less
shrewd politician.
Personally the president was
too much of a "trimmer" to be
killed as easily as his party. This
is a big country and there are
many public issues always at stake.
The democratic party foolishly OPP
posed sound money and free silver
would have killed them If free
trade had not done so.
Mr.. Cleveland however was a
sound fMoney man and when his
party went down with tariff reform
he came to the surface on sound
money tide. Who says he is not q
politician? Well, we do not won-
der that Mess.s. Hill, Blackburn,
German and some others in his par
ty think he is, and il the history OF
the past few weeks does not show it
it nothing can, yet this game is up
for the people begin to see through
it and neither the Monroe Doctrine
or a Popular Loan can save him
from political extinction next fall.
His record will be killed his party
and the people killed him. Peace
to his political ashes.

JAMES A. JOHNSON.

Only the other day we were called
upon to record the death Of ex-Lieuten-
ant-Governor Mansfield; now we have
news of the death of ex-Lieutenant
Governor James A. Johnson, who died
in San Francisco yesterday. Governor
Johnson was one of the old Democratic
Guard, and as such was for many years
a prominent figure in the political his
tory of California. He served as Lieu
tenant t-Governor with dignity and abil-
ity, and at the end Of his term resumed
the practice of his profession, the law,
and the duties Of a private citizen. He,
however, engaged for a few years in
newspaper work in connection with the
Alta California He was a man of
strong social qualities, and bound his
friends to him by more than ordinary
ties. He was a man Of courtly manners,
and was always the gentleman. His in
terest in the welfare of his adopted
State was deep and sincere, and found
expression in many labors for its well
being. His death will be deeply re-
gretted by host of friends. He leaves
a record in State history as a faithful
and able official and citizen whose
memory will not fade.
Governor johnson was one Of the
most loyal of men to his friends.
Friendship with him was always
grounded on merit, and was never sac
rificed ON his part once 1t was bound to
him. He was the soul of generosity
and the apostle of benevolence. His
heart overf1owed with sympathy for his
fellowmen, and it's manifestations were
limited only by his physical capacity
and by limitations Of his means. He
was the soul of honor, abhored mean
things and applauded nobility of
character no matter under what garb
ii was found Affectionate, upright,
courageous, unobtrusive, modest as the
true man always is. he was loved and
admired as such men deserve to be.
He set an example of good citizenship,
good neighborship and stalwart friend
ship, that should inspire other men to
emulate his example, and which will re-
main an imperishable monument to his
memory.

PUBLISHING SCANDAL.

A domestic scandal in the family of
David Lubin, one Of the best known

prominent citizens of Sacramento,
whose name is the synonym for manli-
ness, honesty and generosity, culmi-
mated one day last week in an action for
divorce by the husband against the
the Record Union" knew of it. But
under the law the papers are privi-
legged from examination.
Rumor gave causes for the action and
the name of ex-Mayor Steinman, but
the contents of the court papers no one
outside of counsel and officials know
Five children, from infancy to the
threshold Of womanhood and manhood,

dreds of miles separated them per-
haps forever from their birthplace and
all they loved on earth. Nor did the
brothers and sisters of the unhappy
father need to make a similar applica-
ton. To the eternal credit and honor
of the four newspapers of Sacramento
every one of them looked at the matter
in the same light, and they unanimous

spect for their fellow-citizen, whose
benefcences to this people are on all
sides, and whose purse and heart have
never remained closed to any appeal of
this community, could be given. 1t was
a silent tribute of respect and regard
of which the "Record-Union" Is proud,
as doubtless are it's contemporaries.
1t has never been the policy of this
paper to drag family skeletons to light
or pander to morbid tastes, or indulge
in scandalous recital until driven to do
so by court proceedings. 1t loathes and
despises the unhappy custom of making
journalism work Of the scavenger and
newspapers the purveyorS OF NTH. Ii
is proud that it has been able in COM
mon with its local contemporaries to
spare to the innocent children Of a re-
spectacle citizen the anguish, pain ana
shame that, had they come to them,
could not only have accomplished no
good, but have done infinite harm. The
unhappy mother is far away, the father
and children rapidly leaving behind
them the home that has so long been u
blessing to them, and the hope is that
these children may never know from
what they have been spared.
Yesterday we published the simple
fact of the application for the divorce.
Beyond that all is speculation, rumor
and gossip, much of it, as is always
true, probably greatly exaggerated and
magnified The "Record-Union" is
more than glad that it was left to sem
sational journalism in San Francisco to
do the scandalous and dirty work with
which this paper refused to soil its
pages, and which is based wholly upon
rumor and gossip and without state
ment Of single fact.
The Record Union" has the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that in its policy In
this regard it has always had the COM
mendation and respect Of the commu-
nifty, into the homes of which this paper
goes with the assurance that it is not
conducted according to the systems
that it has uniformly condemned, ana
which it abhors. It's procedure has
been invariably, and will be fashioned
after it's own conceptions of right ana
cleanliness, wholly regardless OF the
policies which obtain in other jour
nalism.

REV, GEORGE K. KNAPP.
The American Missionary Expelled
From Armenia.

The Rev. George K. Knapp, the IA
nous American missionary in Armenia,
will be a person of frequent mention
in the newspapers during the next few
months, and about him there may arise
serious international difficulties. He
has just been expelled by the Sultan
from Armenia, in spite of the Ameri-
can Minister'S protest. This is thought
to be the first step on the part of the
Turkish Government toward expelling
all Christian missionaries from Arme-
MIA, with the intention of substituting
representatives of the Greek Church.
This plan is the outgrowth of an alleged
arrangement with the Car, who will
keep an eye out for Turkeys interests
