diets, cranks and ministers of religion are 'just tho epithets of all that class. One wonders if he knows that it is to those who- have suffered and died for human freedom that he owes the fact that he is not himself in a chained gang to-day.

His reference, therefore, to political ministers of is simply a reflection upon those ministers of religion whom he would not include in his political category, the men who have neither mind, light nor leading j-espseting the laws bv which eccietv should be ordered.—l am, etc., ONLY A WOMAN.
