THEIR SIDE OF IT.

Published by request.
Editor of the Herald:-I notice in
your issue of November 9th the follow
ing:
"Christian Scientist held for MUIR
der.
''Mount Vernon, n. Y, Nov. g.
John Goodwin, Christian Scientist,
was held by the grand jury today on a
char ge of manslaughter,. It was al
legged that he let his daughter die
without calling in doctor until with
in few hours before her death. She
was attended by the healers of the
sect.''
1t is surprising to see how active
and eager the enemies of Christian
Science are in prosecuting it's adher-
ents, even to the taking from them the
rights of an American citizen.
| Why hold Mr.. Goodwin for. murde:?
Was he gnilty?
Thousands are dying daily under the
best m edical treatment.
| Until the different schools of medi-
cine prove that a sick person will not
die, if given medical attendance, they
cannot force right thinking people
even through Judge, jury or prison to
have medical attendance.
What is medical attendance?
| An osteopath. homeopath Or an allo
path, if asked this question would a,
differ.
Does the devotee of each school thii
the others murderers,, it they are no
called in? Do they issue bills OF in
dictm ents for murder each for the 9th
er and give their failures to the press
at large to float before the eyes of the
public? ls>
Malice and hate could be the onl.
motive that would prompt such
, course. i,

RETURN OF CONFIDENCE.

Bank clearings are so per cent larger
than they were year ago. They are
nearly 80 per cent larger in New York,
where the tt ansactions in stocks and
bonds are very heavy, but for the
country AS whole they are just about
90 per cent larger.
This means not only resumption of
rade activity, but it also means that
,:.uch money is coming out of hiding.

This money!" it says "was taken out
| during the panic and hidden away
,bout the houses and premises Even
when conditions improved somewhat
and business began to revive, the

1 the statement made by some irrespon-
sibIe political orators that the result OF
the election might interrupt the return
| AS soon, therefore, as the returns were
in money began to pour into the
banks In New Orleans there seems
TO have been an excess of caution, fol
while some of the boarded money
came out at once, it is evident that 8

694, 800 in excess of what they we're a

 Posing as bankers and brokers. the financial parasites SCOUT the country tor the fools and then exercise their nimhle wits in devising schemes to accomplish the partition. How many millions of dollars arc parted from the fools every year may be onJectur- ed from millions of dollars spent by the pseudo.tinanoiers in advertising.
