message of President Cleveland as
an attack upon American industries
in the interests of free trade. Aery
well, gentlemen; have it so if yon
will. If your speakers go upon the

Cleveland in November, and don’t

The Pennsylvania woman who,
with only a hatchet, successfully
fought three burglars and fatally
wounded one of them, has set a good
example to her sex. Women, if prop
erly trained for the reception of bur
glars, might make the burglary bu9i
ness quite uncomfortable to its fol
lowers. There may come a time
when burglars will enter no Louse
ubtil they nro sure that its mistress
has gone shopping or is off to the
prayer meeting.
WHY IS THIS THIS!
The New Yotk Methodist Confer
ence now in session in that city hss
thrown the great big Herald into a
brown study, a quandary, a serious
perplexity. It rubs its eyes in as¬
tonishment, thrusts its spectacles up
to the very roots of its editorial hair,
and gazes out into space with wonder
ment and surprise.
The Conference had refused, by
formal vote—which, by the way, pass
ed by the skin of its teeth—to permit
women to be accredited as delegates
to the councils. The Herald has
read the speeches by the opposition
with great care, and it trusts, with
profit and instruction, but if has
failed to discover any good reason
for this action.
Is it because women are less intelli
gen! than men? asks the Herald.
That would be an odd assertion, and
a clergyman would need to have
great courage to make it, even iu
bosom of his family. There are
dangerous explosives in abundance
in this scientific age, but none tocom
p:iru with a statement of that sort.
Besides, it would lack the merit of
truthfulness. It may be uncotnpli
inentary to the masculine gender,
but the, cold, hard fuel is that a
woman’s brain is a good deal like a
man’s, and not infrequently more
so.
Is it because women lack exccu
tivo ability or devot’on to the cause
of religion, or breadth ©f view, or
sentiment or emotions, or consisten
cy? In all these respeets exporter.* e

for successful work are about evenly
distributed between the two sexes,

So the Herald wonders what it
means, but so far it has received no
reply.

KETCBSIStr TO THEIR VOMIT.
Did Ingalls’ tirade in the Senate
the ofber day have eny other signifi
cance than the venting of the per
aonal spleeu of a mean conceit? It
look* «o when ono remembers Iub
declaration, made a few days before
the dcl : vs r y of bis speech, that he in
tended to give his parly some excel'
lent campaign material. The Waeb
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Times throws some light on this
point;
‘•Whilo the Kepublicans in Con
grots are constantly reiteratiating
the statement that they welcome the
tariff issue for the next campaign and
are glad that they have the Demo
cratic party fully committed on that
question, there are strong indications
of a growing conviction on their part
that it will not do to trust entirely
upon carrying Minnesota. Wisconsin
and some other States with the cry
for protection for Ameri an labor.
They admit privately that there is a
growing sentiment, especially in the
Northwest, in favor of low low tariff
taxation and that it may therefore be
necessary to resort to other issues to
keep the boys in line with the
‘grand old party.’ The speech of
Senator Ingalls last Tuesday gives
the keynote of the other issues. It
is understood that quite a number of
Republicans are engaged in the col
lection of materials for such attacks
upon Northern Democratic leaders as
Ingalls mope upon Vorbees and upon
other Southern leaders for alleged
suppression of the negro vote, by
which it is claimed the solid South is
msde Democratic. It is conceded
upon all sides that a judicious revis
ion of the tariff and a reduction of
internal taxation are essential to the
economic wellfare of the country,
and the Democrats are willing to
make the issue eight there, but the
Republicans say the revision should
be made by a Republican CoDgress.
They seem to think it will be easier
to win votes by failing back upon de
nunciation of the solid South for
what they call its efforts to set aside
the result of the war than by explain
ing the difference between tariff re¬
vision to re-dnee texation and a revis
ion of the system.” tariff in the interest of the j
protective
This is in keeping with what the
News baa been saying for several
weeks. It is evident that the
Republicans aro afraid to meet the
Democrats in a square contest on
the tariff issue, notwithstanding all
the exultant boosts which they made,
following the lead of Mr. Blaine, irn
mediately after the delivery of the J
President’s message. And hence the
concerted effort all along the lino to
revive old war passions of sectional
and race antagonisms,the only issues
on which the Republicans, in time of
peace, ever did win, and the only
ones, it seems, on which they think
they have a chance to win.
THEKDLE*Dl r M AND TWEEDLE-DEE
We thought it would come. It
was inconceivable that the Republi
cans would allow the appointment
and confirmation of a Democratic
Chief .Justice of tho United States
without finding, or forging, some oc
cision to raise a war-whoop. It
seems that Mri Mobile WJ Fulfil
was a Democratic member of the Iili
nois Assembly in 18<*3, and that, be
ing a Democrat. 1 o was not in sym
pithy with the policy of tho N itior.al
Republican Administration, purticu
larly as to the emancipation of the
slaver. It does not appear that he
loved the Union less because ho ce
spaired, if lie did despair, of its resto
ration by mere force of arms but
that he did not take the extreme
Radical view of tho situation. For
this his loyalty is impeached, and on
that pretext, his nomination is to bo
held up by tho Republicans in the
Senate until after the presidential
election, if they think they cm safe

sinks into insignificance by
side of this horrible treason of

Diseases.
In thfl realm of disease tho facts of lo¬
ir ritanee are moat numerous and are daily
accumulating. Here, alas, they become ter¬
rible, fateful and overw helming. No fact of
nature is more pregnatit with awful mean¬
ing than the fact of the inheritance of
disease. It meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paralyzing his art and f iling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. Tho Furies stlU
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the garb of supersti¬
tion, but appear in the more intelligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science, which has Illuminated so
many dark corners of nature, has shed a
new light on the ominous words of the
Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall bo
visited upon the child run unto the third and
fourth generation.” Ir. * an cos of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of
c .Rsumptl 'n, that fearful destroyer of fami¬
lies. of cancer and scrofula, run in families
through Inheritance. Insanity is hereditary
in a marked degree, but, fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear Itself out. the sloek becoming extinct.
A distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture of tho body Js exempt from
the chance of being the subject of hereditary
disease." Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far reaching practical deductions from such
facts—affecting so powerfully tho happiness
of Individuals and families cud the collective
w elfare of the nation—arc obvious to reflec¬
ting minds, and tho best means for prevent¬
ing or curing these diseases ia a subject of
Intense tatervst to a'.!. Fortunately nature
has provided a rem * ly, which experience
