THE IRISH QUESTION.

There Is every evidence that the So
called Irish question is about as un-
settled and full OF perpleSities as ever.
King Edward intended to visit the
Emerald Isle and let the sun Of royalty
shine upon It. but then came the re-
mnrkable outburst among the Irish
members OF Parliament, at the reading
Of the message that announced the cap
ture Of General Methuen. The cheers
may have been meant for a recognition
Of the bravery and pluck OF the small
man in the fight, without regard to
whether he is right or wrong, but It
was construed, as a sign Of dlsloyalty
TO the government. and very naturally.

A GOOD SUGGESTION,

The Woman's Tribune, published at
Washington. d. G., has very foroible
article on the two amendments to the
Constitution, now before the Congress
Of the United states The Tribune ar
CUES that nothing should go into the
national Constitution That is not
broadly and fundamentally protective
Of human rights" and says;
"To dignity the occasional lapses
from the monogamlC law OF Church and
state, that are found only in Mormon
communities, into a subject TO be
brought before all the State legislatures
and then embodied In the organic law
OF the land, seems the height Of abb
surdity especially when violations Of
the monogamic law OF the religion and
the statutes Of the rest Of the people
flourish In every community, fostered
by the Indifference and powerlessness
OF these very petitioners
That paper suggests that IL the wo-
men who, without understanding the
questions involved in the amendment
which they are favorlng, are 80 jealous
In that cause, would use their
efforts towards the passage Of the
amendment for their own political en-
reimbursement, they could obtain a
weapon with which they could deal ef.
fectlyey with conditions that have
come about through the age-long sub
lection Of women" II goes on 10 show
the decadence of practical poygamy
and that the whole matter may safely
be left to time and advancing clyillza-
tion,' and points TO the fact Of "the
Mormon women Joining hands with the
ssterhood OF the world in all good work
for humanity" Also that in "the great
organizations OF women which are
casplng the girdle Of love around the
globe, white and black, Jew, Gentle
and Mormon women of every creed and
party, stand together for the elevation
Of women, for the peace of the world
It closes this very strong article with
the following paragraph, which we
commend to the attention Of the fair
sex throughout this great nation:
For the sake Of all the causes that
need woman's ballot for the crying
need that humanity has today OF the
maternal element in the body polite,
women should stop picking away at this
and that, demonstrating only their own
futlity and powerlessness thereby, and
unite in a self-respecting demand for
the removal Of their political dIsabli-
ties. The ills of barbarism disappear
Of themselves with the march Of prog
ress. The Ills Of civilization need to
be mot by the concentrated and COM
bined efforts OF all patriots and wo-
mems hands are tied until they hold the
ballot which Is, as Whittier said
"The weapon which comes down as still
AS snowllakes on the sod
Yet executes n freeman's will
AS lightning does the will Of God"

We are led TO think II indeed true
that "the governmental idea Is aban-
doned." as we mark the decline OF au-
thority in family church, and state,
and as we observe that the judgment,
which can never be an outworn idea,
has become "a generally resisted and
obsolete idea, Our Puritan ancestors
were sometimes hard men, but they
sowed the seeds OF the best clvilga-
ton the world has seen. and we are
tempted TO forget what faith in God, the
love OF the Bible, and, the authority OF

history. Already we begin to gather

BIBLE COMMON SENSE.


Mr. W. Woods smyth fellow of the
Medical Society, London calls attention
to the fact that the Mosaic law, though
given so far back in antiquity, contains
some Of the most useful principles of
sanitary laws, and distinctly recognizes
mIcrobe influence upon health. In prscf
Of this statement he refers to the Mo-
sale statute that made every uncovered
vessel, with ts contents, in the house
Of the dead unclean;' also to the nu-
merous washIngs and publications
that were prescribed, and the use Of
perfumes and odors IN the places Of as
sembly, where cinnamon and cassia
were burned, substances he says,
more powerful than eucalyptus, more
effective than carbolic acid for diff
fused disinfectIon."
Another regulation OF that ancient
law was the use Of unleavened bread
at certain time Of the year Mr..
Woods quotes authority to the effect
that the process Of baking does not
stop fermentation altogether, but that
II reappears when moisture and tenn
perature are again favorable, and that
various acids are formed. He adds:

"MoRMoyIsM' AND sPIRITlsM


a respected correspondent asks us to
explain the difference, from our point
OF view, between the revelations re-
ceiyed through the head Of the "Mor-
mon" Church and the communications
Of "spiritualism. or, Is believers in the
latter express it, communion Of NOR
tails with dsembodied lntelllgences who
have passed through the veil"
The distinction between them is TO us
very great A revelation from God
must Of necessity be higher and great
er, and more TO be depended upon,
than a communication from a human
being, even though separated from the
earthly body. The former may be re-
garded as infallble. The latter Is OF

II Is a matter OF serious doubt
whether the communications alleged TO
be made from dsembodied spirits are
really what they purport to be, II is
certain that there Is great deal Of

which are known to have been prac-
