Compliment.

McConnellsville, Ohio, Dec. 3.-Hon.
John H. Abbott, who represented this
district in the Ohio senate for years as
a republican, is home after spending a
year in Utah as a member of the Ute
Indian commission. Ex-Seator Abbott
says:
II am in favor Of giving Congressman
Roberts his seat, because know him to
be morally a pure man. Roberts was
member of the constitutional con-
vention in Utah which prohibited
poiygamy in the future. He was one
OF the most active advocates of the
abolition Of polygamy. He did not be-
lieve, however, that it would be right
for men who had been led by a wrong
religion to take unto themselves several
wives to cast them all off save one.
when polygamy was abolished. He be-
lieves that those who had more than
one wife should care for therf as before
and sustain them in the relations of
matrimony into which they are entered
Under the circumstances I believe this
was right.
Roberts is one Of the most able men
in all this country. He is an eloquent

any statesman Ohio has brought forth.

MUCH CRITICISM
Aroused by Mr. ChamberIain's Address
at Leicester.

Mt Leicester.
London, Dec. 4-Mr. Chamberlain
Leicester speech continues to form the
subject OF extended comment here and
abroad. The New York correspondent
Of the Daily News declares that the
speech has greatly increased the popu-
lar dislike Of the colonial secretary in
the United States and that instead of
being an aid, Mr.. Chamberlain is AN
almost insuperable obstacle to an An
American alliance"
The Times, in an editorial which en-
deavored to temper the feeling created
by Mr.. Chamberlain speech, admitted
"indiscreet enthusiasm saying Lord
Roseberys criticisms are perfectly JUS
titled, but it would be ungrateful to lose
sight Of the fact that it Is due very
largely to Mr. Chamberlain's personal
influence that the improved state of
feeling, more properly described as al
lance and perhaps. not altogether
properly even as understanding, has
been brought between Great Britain
and the United States and between
Great Britain and Germany. 1t Is to be
regretted that Mr.. Chamberlains lam
guage lent itself to demonstrations,
provoking acrid remarks in German
and American newspapers, but in the
case of America the tendency to union
and cooperation is not likely to be OBJ
etructed by an excess Of sensitive APP
prehenslon at possible meaning at
