will not recount the painful
history, NOR dwell upon the depIor-
able condition Of our local Democ-
racy. 1t is but difficult to speak OF
this branch OF the party in the
language of polite correspondence.
Let 1T here suffice to say that our
local Democracy is under the do
minion of a man who has been pub
Hc1y charged with having openly
and notoriousIy purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has
been strongly supported by the
sworn and recorded testimony OF
several citizens; yet, although this
crime against the elective fran
chise is a blow at the very heart
of our liberty, a crime more dread
full in it's consequences than murder
or open treason, no citizen has yet
manifested sufficient confidence in
the Democratic officers who are
charged with conducting public
prosecutions to even file a COM
plaint against this alleged Of
fender.-James G. Mcguire.

men were not easily beaten, and they
agreed that Mrs. Jennings should rep
resent the slave and act as decoy
for the hunters, and Wade went to
notify her, while Giddings went for
horse and buggy. In few minutes
| he dashed up to the door, and Wade
came out with Mrs. Jennings, dressed
, in black and veiled When she was
seated they drove at gallop east to-
wards Buffalo AS soon as horses
could be saddled, the hunters were
after them at breakneck speed, but the
faster they rode the faster Glddings
drove for many miles, then, stopping
his painting steed, he asked angrlly, as
the hunters dashed UP, why the men
had followed him. The hunters claim
ed the woman as their property Gid
dings replied that she was no property
of theirs. They insisted, and demand
ed her surrender, threatening G1ddings
with the law, but he still insisted that
she was a free woman and belonged
to no man. He kept up the controVer-
sy as long as possible, when Mrs. Jen-
nings lifted her veil and showed to the
| infuriated men the face of an entire
stranger.
In the meantime as soon as the slave
hunters were well out of the town, or

land. On the way the poor girl told
him of her life in that Virginian home,
| now so far behind her, and of the ca
| lamity which brought her handsome,
spirited brother from the happy life
at a. great college to convict's cell, to
save his sisters life and honor. From
Cleveland she was safely taken around
the lake and across the Detroit River

| Some years later the Rev. George
Smith was sent by the abolitionists TO
! look after the condition of escaped
slaves, who had nearly all settled near
one of the large towns of Upper Can

whose business there had become
known, received an invitation to din
ner from a prominent citizen. Upon ar
irving at the house he found every

woman Of great beauty. In the ev-
ening while entertaining him with un-
usually fine music, she asked if he
knew Messrs. Wade, Giddings and
Brown. He did To those men, she
said, she owed her life. She told Mr..
Smith the above story, and added that
upon reaching Canada she came to the
town where she still lived. had no

soon won her way into society, where
she was courted by young English
man, a younger son, portioned off with
a Canadian estate. She would not ac-

The English Bishops.

The Bishop, like so many other Eng
liSh grandeeS, is powerful, chiefly be-
cause it is professional habit to show
him Difference. Most men who are Ii
able to be quarreled with. which is,
unhapplly, the position of a majority
OF clergymen, would rather that some
body should be recognized referee,
and the Bishop in the eyes of lay
churchmen is distinctly that. Then,
professional feeling has always weight,
and professionally it is bad form for a
clergyman, unless he is fighting for
some privilege approved by his party
in the church, to quarrel with his
Bishop, who at all events is his supe-
rior, and who, if provoked, can make
his opinion of a mutinous inferior
known in a way by no means favorable
to promotion. Lay opinion, too, is usu-
ally, we hardly know why on the side
of the Bishop, and the cleric has to live
among laymen, and to be dependent in
thousand ways upon their tolerance
and good will.
Finally, there is the influence of char
acter and ability. It is very disagree
able to be smashed in correspondence,
and the Bishop, if provoked beyond
bearing, is usually quite capable Of
smashing the rector. There is a no
ton current in newspapers that Bish-
ops are generally fools, but the notion
is very silly one, deriving the very
slight foundation it has from "a passed
away state of affairs, when Bishops
were Of all dignitaries most likely to
be selected by favor. Nowadays it
may be taken as a rule that nobody
rises to the top Of profession without
qualifications Of some sort of a pretty
strong kind, and as Bishops are
chosen by lay persons who have
to study their public repute and
are greatly afraid of making blum
ders, very few persons without spe-
cial claims mount episcopal thrones.
The Bishop, therefore, is very sure Of
Difference, and Difference in England in
peaceful times involves something Of
actual power. But of direct authority
the Bishop has scarce any, and when
ever the quarrel of the parties in the
church is bitter enough to produce de-
fiances, the Bishop, who looks, and in
way is, so very dignified usually
finds himself in very painful position.
He is perpetually appealed to to do
things which he has no means of do
ing, is taunted by laymen as inefficient
when he is only powerless, and Is lee
tured by newspapers for neglecting
duty which, if he were only permitted,
he would perform, as the uneducated
phrase it, with heart and a half. He
is really under such circumstances a
hardly treated man. London Specta-

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer, 4"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
MANY mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:

had to leave school. was tired all the

AN ERROR.

d. NJ. Culp, Nd, has conclud.
ed a series of letters in the Salt
Lake, Utah, B.oad Ak, embracing
a review OF the past and future Of
the American Negro, and covering
thirty-seven chapters. = Coiored
american, Washington, DC.
Editor Cooper, you have made
a mistake by asserting that DR.. ID.
w. Culp has contributed or con-
cluded series of articles in the
Broad Az.
DR.. Culp, who resides in Jack
sonville, Fla, has never wrote one
line nor one article for our publ
cation, but that distinguished gen.
tleman did however contribute an
article to the Arena of April, 1897 4,
entitled '"The past and the future
OF the American Negro" At that
time we commented upon it very
briefly and stated that it was our
intention to reproduce it in our
publication.
We began lit reproduction in
the issue of the Broad Ak May LIST,
1897, and concluded it in the issue
dated June 18th, and we began our
review of DIR, Culp's article in the
Broad Ak dated July Ord, and our
reflections upon it have embraced
81 chapters. 1t was concluded in
the Broad az of Aug. Doth.
DR.. Culp advanced some excel
lent ideas which healthy en-
dorsed. But the main object
which we had for reviewing his ar
ticle was to brush aside some of the
false and erroneous ideas which he
advanced pertaining to the Demo
cratic party and the negro.
