If the Americans statement is
correct-and we shall not under
take to prove the negative-then the
HERALD was wrong in its statement
concerning Mr.. McMillin's record
for 1892. The HERALD had been in
formed from more than one reliable
source, that Mr.. McMillin lodged
the issue raised by the Alliance in
the campaign of 1892; that he did not
make any speeches in this State in
1892 outside of his own district, and
had to be urged and almost threat
ened before be would even come
hone and help organize his own dis
trict for the State ticket. This re-
port, though possibly never before
published, has been current in politl-
cal circles for the last five years,
and the HERALD simply gave pub
location to what we considered an
open political secret, and one we be-
lieved-and had good reason to be-
lieve-to be true. But we take it
that the American has, as it says it
has, taken the pains to examine its
files Of that year, and that it learns

| the potent forces Of the present age. We
say IL humbly, yet withal with the CON
seriousness that the near future will
fully justify the assumption. AS one
| OF the pioneers of this great movement
! puts il, "Women's clubs have been an
untold blessing i'm very many ways,
widening woman's outlook, breaking
down her prejudices, enlarging her
sympathies increasing her knowledge.
There Is scarcely a club worthy of ex-
isterce but proves stimulus TO
thought and action, preventing the
mental rust and eneryating the monot-
ony that are too often a part of the
domestic nfe.
The many grand literary and philan-
thropic clubs have in so many instances
proved woman's redemption from men,
tai and moral death that we say TO our
sisters, take as many Of these post
graduate courses as your purse and
family duties permit" But to turn our

tions by partisans that have marked

mands that the papers in the posses

horse trade outside a Providence horse

because the plaintiff, with the permis-

by praying for ten minutes that the
Lord might assist him in convincing
