\ Peculiar Ornament.

Berlin has probably one OF the most
peculiar ornaments for reading room
that has ever been seen in a similar
position in 4 civilized country. This is
4 gravestone which stands, large ana
massive, in one corner of small room.
1t IS not only gravestone, but is in
it's legitimate position at the head Of
a grave. The history of its location in
the house is interesting. 1t was not
put up in the house. but the house was
built around the stone. It's original
position was in the burial grounds in
the churchyard at st. Hedwig's.

WAS THE SUBJECT or AZ STIR
RING ADDRESS BY REV.
n THOMAS j. CAMPBELL
&LAST&tNIGHT.

| Az DETROIT, Mich, Aug. l4-ReV
Thomas J. Campbell, of New York
was the principal speaker at the night
session of the American Federation
of. Catholic Societies convention in
Light Guard armory. Fully $500
people listened to the address of the
New York speaker on Socialism.
The auditors app1auded the speaker
until the building trembled.
socialism not only incu1cates indi.
vidua1 and domestic anarchy, but it
professedly aims at the ruin of all ex.
listing governments" declared Rev.
Campbell.
1.-THE specter of socialism, he con
tinued, which looms over modern
civilization with menace of ruin,
may well cause serious alarm How
it was formed; how it grew to it's pres
ent proportions; what dangers it en-
tails, are questions of the most vital
and immediate interest to all manner
Of men. In general, it may be as
cribed to the elimination Of Christi
anity from modern legislation; to the
influence Of false economic princi-
pies; and to the new methods which
the nations have adopted to achieve
greatness and power.
THE theory is sometimes express
ed in the formula that all government
is based on the consent of the gov
erned.' which is equally untenab1e.
Consent is certainly not required for
a father to govern his children, nor
for God to govern his creatures. Nor
is it true Of civil government. The
police force, the prisons, the scaffolds,
the electric chairs are SO many de-
malls OF such pretense.
The fundamental doctrine of this
new movement" Rev. Campbell con
Guided" is that there can be no hui
man or divine legislation with regard
to the institution of marriage; that
human passion is the only guide as
to its duration; that promiscuity of
intercourse is the ideal condition;
that children belong to the State;
that mothers should, according to
Bebel, bring that forth in State insti-
buttons, and even be free to contract
whatever other alliance may suit their
fancy. For the furtherance of this
end, free love communities should be
established where it is possible and,
where it is not, divorce laws SHOULD
be enacted of such a nature as to
bring about the same result

FOUND NO INDICTMENT
Grand Jury at Sioux Falls Fount
No Indictment Against Thos.
Taubman.

IhoS. Taubman, editor OF the
Plankintoh Herald, is gradually WIN
nlng out in the cases that have been
started against him. At Aberdeen
d few days ago he was discharged in
the federal court on the ground of
having sent obscene matter through
the mails. his newspaper being the
avenue.
Last spring he was placed under
arrest OF the charge Of malicious
SANDER, the charge, it is presumed,
being instigated by Fted L. Stevens,
who was tried in this county as the
%defauluing cashier Of the Plankinton
bank. Stevens, however, after sew
eral trials, was found not guilty, al
though on the first trial he was
found guilty and sentenced to four
years In the penitentiary. After his
innocence was declared Editor Taub-
man took occasion to say some IN
pleasant things about Stevens and
this lead to his arrest.
The cast was brought in the cir
cult court of Minnehaha county, by
reason OF the paper circulating in
that county and for the further rea-
son that Stevens knew that a convic-
ton could not be secured in Aurora
county.
The case was submitted to the
grand jury at Sioux Falls Saturday
and the foreman of the jury Informed
the court that no bill was found IN
the case against Taubman, there be-
ing no grounds for indictment.
This ought to end the troubles of
Editor Taubman as he has won out
on every proposition looking to cause
him trouble. Tom is a newspaper
man who is not afraid from his point
OF view to speak his mind on local
conditions.
