Daniel Black. Lewia Messner. It is impossible to send or give credit to parties who do not give their fall address. In writing, always give postoffice, county and State. Michigan comes to the front with gold specimens which the assays show are richer than anything ever found. Estimates are that the losses by fire dar leg 1SS7 will amount to $130,000,000. Such figures suggest the importance of well equipped fire departments, and that more attention should be paid to the construction of buildings. "Why deesn't the Journal "asrame" that District Attorney Sellers will "do his duty" in prosecuting Gen. Carnahan? And why don't the Republican Committee of One Hundred take a hand in Unding out, If possible, whether the "circular" was a conspiracy job or a single handed felony? The late Levi Bacon, the Republican thief, and clerk in the Tatent Office, got away with about $30,000. Of this amount it appears that he stole about $20,000 to aid the Republican bosses to defeat the Democratic party. Like the average Republican rascal, he did not confess before the devil grabbed him, But dove into the "lake," and went a iwlmia', With all his native sneak tniel "in him," BiALffi, while in England, was constantly fceaeiged to explain the three R's. One Lord Leterrip, with whom Mr. Blaine dined, Eaid he had been told that his guest championed in the United States, "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," to which Mr. Blaine blandly replied that the Noble Lord was in error; that he (Blaine) gained distinction for defending Right, Religion and Reform, in all of which he had stood as firm as Little Rock. Accoedetg to treasury reports there are outstanding about $4,000,000 of three percentU.S. bonds, lor which though the inter t st has beentopped no application la made for either principal or interest. The question is asked, what has become of the bonds? Where are the owners? The owners may be dead or in Canada or in prison, or tbey may have forgotten their ownership. The indications are that the Government will fall heir to the money. The Sestikel devotes a column of space to proving that Guiteau was a bold, bad man. The proposition is granted. The Sestikil caa't get up any argument on that. Journal. The Eextisel did more than tha The Sextisel demonstrated that Gniteau was the product of Republicanism; that he "removed" Garfield to harmonize the Republican party; made Arthur President, as the Journal said, "by the act of God," and for the cake of spoils. It is thought that in the very near fature pig iron, instead of cotton will 19 king in the South. In 1SS0, says the New York Herald, "Alabama had a capacity for producing 130.0CO toes of pig Iron, but last year she ran the figures up to nearly 400, CCO. Tencetsee gave a jump from 131,000 to 350.000 and Virginia emulated her example by leaping from 129,000 to 273,000. It is gloeely estimated that in the next ten years the Southern S ates will be able to tarn into the market something like two millions of tons of p'g Iron annually." Iron is the metal of civilization and progress. The world could wag alocg creditably without gold or silver, but iron cannot be dispensed with, and accordlcg to estimates, tne S-ath, in the future is to contribute her fail share of the raw material for the benefit of mankind. TiiS indications are that the case of Rev. Dr. McGlynn is t i have world-wide notoriety. There can be no question regarding the right of the church to excommunicate a priest. The proposstion is not debatable. But the people are asking and will continue to ask, why? The land qaestion in Ireland Is the one that towers above all other questions. There is famine in a fruit-" fdl land. England's land laws and theories as they relate to Ireland are a curse of auch frightful proportions as to make land stealing a quastion for all nations. There is land stealing and land monopoly in the United States. Dr. McGlynn is the earnest and eloquent foe of land stealing. A land thief is a pirate, beside whom the average freebooter is a, gentleman. Dr. McGlynn takes io itock in him. Whatever else may be said of Dr. McGlynn, he is a friend of the landless. This is scientific authority for saying that "practically glase is almost pur rand, other substances used in its manufacture for fi axing being consumed while the same la transformed to a greater or less degree of transparency." - The different qualities of glass represent different qualities of sand, from the common black bottles to the finest grade of flint ware. Says writer: "The cost of a ton of sand to glais manufacturers of Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, or West Virginia, is, of course, dependent on the distance it is hauled from the quarry; bat, taking the 500 toes daily manufactured and oonjumed, it will not average above $2 23 per ton, damp. Dried aad will average '& 50 mt ton. Of court it costs a little less than ttjr? l&ia ia nttsburg, ftad It little mora

In Eellalre, Ohio; bnt even at thia last

earned place the cost of the sand which goes into the manufacture of a box of common window-glass, containnig the regulation fifty Equare feet of surface, is aboat 5 cents; that is, the-box of gla3S con sists merely of 5 cents' worth of silica, transmuted to a slate of transparency." Such facts may enable the reader to an derstand why it is that glassware is cheap, or ought to be supplied at tremendously low figures. REPUBLICAN CORRUPTIONS OF ELECTIONS. It is always the right thing to do to call the attention of the people to the fact that the Republican party, as a general proposition, has won elections by methods and processes flagrantly and notoriously criminal and corrupt to a degree that defies Proper characterization. The managers of the Republican party has included many of the most pronounced scoundrels known to the criminal records of the country. These managers? regardless of all law, human or divine, to carry out their nefarious purposes, have sought and have found among the moat debased wretches agents to do their bidding whether it was to commit perj ary or forger y, stuff billot boxes, steal or mutilate tally sheets, vote double tickets or to commit any other oatrage known to the calendar of crime. It is a part of the crime-stained record of the Republican party that the beetlebrowed scamps it employed to corrupt elections were rewarded by appointments to Federal positions, and fed for yean from the Federal treasury. Around these villains the Government, under Republican control, placed the shield of its approval and protection, and, in numberless instances, the Republican press, which howls for conviction when a Democrat is indicted, was the defender of Republican criminals charged in the such üsgitions election frauds, as madethe,country at home and abroad a hissing and a byword. Indiana has had more than its full share of these Republican crimes and criminals. The records from 1SCS are black with Republican rascalities, perpetrated in the interest of Republican candidates, and the city of Indianapolis and Marion County have been the center where Rapublican law breakers have time and again got in their corrupting work, and in every instance the Republican press has defended the rascals. Who does not remember the transactions of Dorsay and his gang, when every conceivable crime was perpetrated to corrupt the election and steal the vote of the State? Who has forgotten the outrages perpetrated which cost Stanton J. reelle his seat In Congress? In 176 the records of the Clerk's Office will show that thirty-seven prominent Rapublicans were indicted for perpetrating election frauds, and that every eise was nollied by a Republican prosecutor; and it is equally notorious that Dan Lsmon was elected sheriff of Marion County in is SO, and counted out by the Republican "slick six." Such facts should ba brought io the attention of the public now because the si tne Republican scoundre?s who perpetrated those crimes are now yawping themselves hoarse as reformers and seeking to Influence public opinion, that Democrats indicted for committing election f rands, or for conspiring to commit such frauds, may be convicted, innocent or guilty. The Evening News is conspicaous in its efforts in that direction. It slops over in its adulation of Harlan, an appointee of R. B. Hayes, and assaults the integrity and ability of Judge Gresham, notwithstanding Harlan says the case which Judge Gresham decided was totally unlike that which he decided. Judge Gresham believes that there are boundaries to Federal court jurisdiction. Justice Harlan does not eeem to be troubled in that direction and the News, that it may inflame the public mind against the men who are to be tried before Judge Woo3s, aims a deally blow at State courts, juries and officials. The News and the Journal discard all proprieties; and though silent when a Republican scoundrel commits an election crime, howls like dervishes when a Democrat is overtaken by an indictment. The public demands a fair trial, any attempt to p.-. judge the case to create partisan prejudice, and inflame the public mind, is an attempt to convict without a hearing, or to secure a verdict by popular clamor. Those who are guilty of such partisan viadictiveness, are seeking to corrupt tie court, are seeking to debauch j entice aad are enemies of society. They are pursuing a ccurse which degrades justice and a mobs; their professions of fealty to law are to the last degree .hypocritical; and their silence on eome occasions when it would be proper to speak out, their violence on other occasions when any consideration of a proper administration of the law demands silence, is proof positive that they are animated by a malign par tisan spirit, an disgraceful as it is Infa mous. A HOT WALK. A Trip Across the Iithmoi of Panama by Nearly SCO years after Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Darien with his little band of 100 men, and gazed with wonder upon the waters of the Facific Ocean, I having Buffered with fever and ague while residing in Peru, revived to leave the west coast for .New York via Isthmus of Panama, Accordingly leaving Callao on the steam ship Truxillo, after a few days' steaming along the coast we arrived at the bay of Panama, where a steam tender removed all tne passengers who purposed leaving for AspinwalL The luggage having been re moved to the tender we were conveyed to the company's wharf. Having booked my effects for transfer by train to Aapinwall I repaired to the hotel awaiting the departure of the train which would leave early the next morning. My stay there would have been moderately comfortable, indepen dent f the fancy price taxed by mine host, had it not been for the frightful dec! mation caused by the ravages of typhoid fever which was sweeping away the in habitants by families. It was not my in tentlon after escapinc the peril ef the sea, and a predicted death by ferer in Fem, to ait calmly sad invite sickness la Panama,

So early, as I supposed, the next morning I walked down to the depot to take the cars for AspinwalL When I arrived at the depot I was just in time to be too I; te. The train was still in sight but too far away to be overtaken. What Is to be

done? I asked, myself. If I remain I endanger my life, if I attempt to walk fortyseven miles on the railroad, miat I not help to swell the army who had fallen victims to the fatal malaria. I was aware that each sleeper represented the lives of two Chinamen. If I escape Charybdis might I not collide with Scylla? Hastily debating the issues I came to the determination to leave Panama at every cost, and brave the consequences of travel. What if miasma infected the air or the forests contained living forms dangerous to human life, nothing venture nothing gain. Already the sun was rapidly ascending the heavens, and the heat was each moment increasing in intensity. Turning my back upon the cool piazza of the depot, I stepped forth on the first of many of the thousands of sleepers I was to cross ere I reached AspinwalL Each aide of the narrow road which constituted the single railway track: the soil was sandy and loose in most places, thus compelling me to confine my walking to the track. I had gold in my money belt, and in my pocket sufficient loose silver to make ary purchases of the natives I might re quire. Although I was entirely unarmed I apprehended no danger, for experience has taught me the way to avoid quarrels is to remain peaceful ; but what is to be said of the history of the city lam fleeing from. ike Lot from Sodom. "Panama was found ed in 151S by Pedro Arias Davila, and is the oldest European city in America, the older settlement at Santa Maria Ei Antigua (to quote from the travels of Pedro de Creza de Leon), near the Atrato, having been abandoned and leaving no trace. Originally it was situated six or seven miles farther north, and on the left side of the Rio Algarrobo, but the former city, which was the great emporium for the gold and silver from.Peru, had eight monntaries, a cathedral and two churches, a fine hospital, 2C0 richly furnished houses, nearly 5,000 houses of the humbler sort. A Genoese Chamber of Commerce and 200 warehouses were, alter three weeks of rapine and murder, burned February 24, 1G71, by Morgan's buccaneers, who carried off 175 aden mules and more than G00 prisoners." A new city was founded on the present site by Villacarta in 1G73. Some little commeice is still maintained in India rubber, cocobolo, sarsapariila, tortoise shell, vanila, whale oil and cocoa nuts. Panama is a State and city of Colombia, and the city is the capital of the State and seat of the Bishop, although, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Panama was next to Cartagena, the strongest fortress in South America. Its massive granite ramparts (constructed by Alfonzo Mercado de Villa carta), in some places forty feet high and sixty feet.broad, have been raised on the lend side, and permitted to fall into ruin toward the sea, while in the city ruins of ecclesiastical edifices abound, speaking eloquently of the mutations of time. Ia 1373, when I was there, it bad a population of 13,378. Panama was left some miles behind, its romantic rise and perceptible decay still haunted my thought as l paced from sleeper to sleeper. Now, the country appeared.to be overgrown with forest on each side of the track, rich ferns, orchids, bamboo, mandioc. palm, caoutchouc, inercitron, cinchona, logwood, sogar cane, cocoanut, plantain, oranges, lime and banana, with many other varieties, appeared In profusion, while the surface of the earth was covered with a dense underbrush,, a fine lair for wild animals or serpents. Ar riving at Carocal by noon, I visited a na tive hut and inquired for refreshments. I obtained a bottle of wine, a box of sardines and eome crackers. The native kindly bade me take a stooL Hanging to the sills of the hut was a formidable looking lizard killed that morning. No possum roast to a Southern darkey would be hailed with greater delight than a lizard stew by the natives of the Isthmus. In a little time I was joined by several prominent natives, clad very simply,and I may say scantily. I extended the hospitalities of my table, which they kindly accepted. The heat being so oppres sive, 112 in the shade, I had no appetite for Eolids, but refreshed myself with some wine and water (the latter was simply abominable),then bidding fare well to these simple-hearted people, after paying the modest sum of 50 cents for my meal, I once more, under a broiling sun, com menced my march to the next station. True, I was entreated not to attempt the journey while the sun was up, but I had been advised not to make it when the sun went down; so on I went. Crossing the Rio Grande, I saw several women and young girls in the stream washing clothes. Like our first parents in the Garden, they had very little extra clothing. Perceiving me they instantly intercepted my line of vision by holding up some of the clothes they were washing, feeling supremely Indifferent to such nncourteous behavior. I quenched my thirst by drinking thfe-riU of oranges which I plucked from the trees. Approaching the river Obispo, near Barbacoas, I noticed that it was spanned by a Ion? open trestle d bridge, which had, however, ironwork: sides which had just been painted a bright red. Beneath the bridge (for it was ebb tide.if such a term may be allowed), the rocky bed of the river appeared distant some 1 15 feet. The sun had set and the shades of night were gathering fast over the line of my travel. Cautiously measuring my paces, and placing my fingers against the painted aldes'of the bridge I moved boldly forward. One false step and this adventure would not have been written. Successfully I passed over, then and not until then I asked myself, what if a train had arrived? Bat, said experience in reply, the train did not arrive. My fingers were prettily painted red and the aide of the bridge revealed three parallel lines, which; might potsibly mystify the next passenger train. Night had fallen upon the face of Nature. From the forest I could hear the buzz of insects, the hissing of reptiles, and the discordant screches of wild animals. The moon had risen, her soft silvery light illuminated my pathway along the lonely track. About midnight I neared the native village of Gorgona, and my advent was announced by canine chorus, which, if. not nuaical, WM It least

hearty. Casting m J self on the ground under an eave of a hut which seemed to Impart protection from the cold light of the moon, and takleg a stone for a pillow, like Jacob of old, I fell asleep. Day was breaking when I awoke cramped and shivering. Hastily seeking the track, I limped along, and the feeling of cramps and chills continued for some hours. Arriving at last at Bahio Salhado, I took eome refreshment, and rested my weary frame, by sundry ablutions; when practicable I had kept my feet cooL Having rested for an hour, I started again very leisurely for Gaton, which I reached In a few hours. After obtaining some fruit I continued my journey, moralizing upon.the chances of success the builders of a river;acrcs3 the Isthmus would have, and as I gazed on the uneaven course of the river Chagres, I mentally concluded the tack an impossibility. Nine years after M. DeLe&seps took the matter up. The Panama Canal (a defunct ditch) was bought for $20,000,000 by the Inter-oceanic Company, of Panama, who represented a capital of $120,000,000. The most recent information received from its bold projector serves to confirm the views I entertained as I reached Chagres. Near Minda I noticed eome men on the track propelling a handcar. They were proceeding to Monkey Hill, near Aspinwall, and kindly permitted me to have a ride. Leaving them at their place of destination I finished my journey shortly after. With the exception of being broEzed by the sun and my toilet not quite "comme il faut," I was none the worse. It was difficult to convince the guests at the hotel in Aspinwall to believe that I had perlormed the journey on foot, but an engineer who had passed me on his engine at Frijoles confirmed my statement. Until I embarked for New York, which was the next day, I was lionized by both the colored as well as white inhabitants. Here in 1S50 the Fanama Railway Company founded a railway lor the convenience of their traffic across the Isthmus. The city is built upon a well-wooded coral Island of Maczanilla, and had a population, when I was there, of 6,500.

Imuakapolis, July 10. SUICIDE. From time to time the question of suicide is very generally discussed. Suicide is felony, hence, "felodese" a felon of himself. Accounts have it that Sampson was the first felodese, the first felon of himself. There might have been others in Sampson's time, but he was probably the most distinguished. Sampson had a checkered career. He Is known chiefly as the "strongest man" and his life reads like a romance. From his birth, Sampson was bleäsei of the Lord. His first grand exploit was to kill a lion as easily as if it had been a kid. The killing of the lion was the occasion of Sampson's famous riddle, which he proposed to turn to a good account, in the way of replenishing his wardrobe, but being over-pursaaded by Ms wife, he explained the riddle to her, and Tinmath then told her people, whereupon Sampsoa's first speculation on his own account turned out a failure. Sampson at once comprehended the treason of Tinmath, and said to the Philistines: "If ye had not ploughed with my heiler, ye had not found out my riddle." Sampson having lost his wager, "thirty sheets and thirty changes of girment," went down to Ashkelon and slew thirty men and with the spoils paid his bet. Sampson was a judge in Israel, but his life was not always above reproach, and his final exhibition of strength was when he pulled down the house where the Philistines worshiped Dagon, their god. To accomplish this wonderful feat he had to pray for strength to be avenged of the Philistines for putting out his eyes. The prayer was heard and answered, aBd thousands of his enemies perished. Sampson went down also, bat we doubt if it could be called suicide. Sampson was not in any proper sense the first "felon of himself." In shaking down the Dagon temple, God was his co-worker, which resoues, we think, the old judge from the list of suicides. And, yet, being old and blind, in the hands of his enemies, who used him for their sport, we would not blame him much if he had sought emancipation for their crueliies by self-murder. The charitable conclusion is that those who commit suicide are for the time being non compos mentis out of mental balante Irresponsible. But it so happens that positive proof is not at hand the absolute facts cannot be arrived at. It is a theory based entirely upon sentiment, we fail to note any conclusion why it should be true as a general proposition, life is sweet; men want to live. But all too frequently, life is bitter and men are tired of it not men only,, but women as well. It will be remembered that Judas Iscariot committed self-murder. He might have been mentally deranged, but the act was conspicuously rational, eminently a com mon sense consequence. Nothing could have been more in keeping with propriety. The discussion of suicide is by no means modern. It has doubtless been debated since the days of Sampson and Saul. The Greek philosophers were not unmindful of its importance. Socrates condemned it, Plato half-way favored It, or at least, was lenient in Lis opinions. The Stoics and Eplcurians defended suicide, the Romans dignified it, and the Donatists were greatly addicted to iL Christianity has everywhere and at all times opposed suicide, but has not put a stop to it, and whether the crime is increasing or decreasing, it is difficult to determine, though there are reasons for believing it is oa the increase throughout Christendom. The only countries that have statistics approximating accuracy are Prussia and France, and in those countries suicide is increasing. The latest work upon the subject shows "that the proportion of unmarried persons who kill themselves is decidedly greater than that of the mairled; the proportion of widowed persons ' is greater still, but that of the divorced and separated Is the largest, it being uniformly five times as great as that of the married." As regards the cause of suicides in Prussia and France the estimate ia that one-third of the cases are owing to mental dls? ase, one-sixth to physical suffering, one eighth to loss of property, one-tenth to the fear of punish' cent, uliimj c: orbtt con&i&c, qm

tenth to fatally quarrels, one tenth to drunkenness, gambling and other vices, while grief or disappointed love has few victime in the list of suicides. It has been thought that severe laws relating to the treatment of the body after death would greatly reduce the number of suicides, and Plutarch rrlates that at one time an unaccountable passion for suicide seized the Milesian virgins, from which they could not be prevented by the tears and prayers of their friends; but a decree .being issued that the body of every ycuug maid who did self murder should be drawn naked throogh the streets, a stop was soon put to the extraordinary frenzy. It is possible, therefore, that laws which on their face appear barbarous might exert a preventive or corrective influence, and largely reduce the number of suicides. Dr. De Wolf, of Chicago, according to recent reports, is paying special attentloa to the suicide question, and has furnished the press of that city with specially interesting figures. Of all American cities Chicago leads in suicides. Self murder thrives in Chicago, and in 1SSG statistics show there were 110 cases, or onein .6.350 ot the popa lation. New York has one in 8,003 of the population, Boston one ia .000, Philadelphia oue in 12 500, Butimore on is 10,100, and Brooklyn one in 13.0D0Ih European cities, says tb.9 statisti cian, Berlin, Vienna. Brüssel, Munich and Copenhagen, the ratio of suicides to population is twice as high as in Chicago, while in Hamburg the ratio 13 one in 2,300. In London it is ooe in 10.700, while in Glasgow and Elinburgh the ratio is oie ?n 42,IU0 in the former city aud one in 33,000 'n thp. ittr. Tk?re the entir pipn'ation of the United S'ttes the ratio of suicide is but one In 30,o.d of population. There are three Europe, i countries, Spain, Russia and Scotland, which show fewer cases of self destruction than the United States It is something of a mystery that any country beneath the sun should have fewer' suicides than the United States. Here conditions for making life desirable are thought to be superior to all other countries! here there ought to be less destitution Here oppression such as disgraces Europe and degrades men and women ought to be unknown, and yet it is a fact not to be dis

guised that wretchedness, such as suggests self murder as a relief, exists and is increasing. Here insanity is on the Increase, n the matter of family troubles, it is only required to make a note of the applications for divorce to settle all doubts. If people would know the extent of business troubles, the court records supply all needed Information, and love troubles come in for a large share of suicidal results. Bat, says the Chicago statistician, the reports of suicides in the United States, during the past ten years, show that three-fourths of them have bsen caused directly by drink and gambling. "Drink," says the statistician, "brings physical ailments, destitution, grief, mortification, family trouble, love trouble, insanity, aberration, mental and moral weakness, and the whole catalogue of suicide causes. Gambling i often the outgrowth of drink, cs are other forms of dissipation eure to end in disgrace and sometimes in death by one's own hand. Religious morbidness Is another fruitful cause of selfdestruction which does not show as conspicuously as it ought in the reports." Manifestly it behooves the State to thoroughly investigate every case of suicideto know as certainly as practicable the cause, irace oacx tne history ot every case. If insanity, why insane? The facts J would be of incalculable value ia finding ' and applying remedies. It is not agrees- I ble to know that there ia ia the couatry a suicidal mania, yearly becoming mora pronounced. Such facts are not creditable to cur civilization. They tarnish our Christian escutchion. They awaken reflections well calculated to fasten convictions upon the mind, that social, business, moral and religious aSairs need reconstruction. REPUBLICANISM, PAST AND PRESENT. It is said that when Congress meets in December, the probabilities are an Investigation will be ordered which will show that the operations of Bacon, the Republican Patent Office thief, were as but a drop In the bucket compared with the scoundrel iam which prevailed throughout all the departments of the Government when under Republican rule from 1876 to 1SS1. The people have never had anything anproximatirg full and correct information concerning the piratical success of Habbell in obtaining money for the purpose of keeping the Republican party in power. The Washington correspondence of the Buffalo Courier says, "An Investigation will show that up to the day Grover Clevelaad was elected President the extortion of money from the employes in the Civil Service went Bteadily on," for the truth of which the letter of Habbell, ander date of May 15, 1SS2, is given as follows: "Under the circumstances in which the country finds itself placed the committee believes that you will esteem it both a privilege and a pleasure to make to its funds a contribution which it is hoped will not be less than $ . The labors off the committee will affect the result of the presidential election in 1831, as well as the congressional struggle, and it may thsrefore reasonably be hoped to have the- sympathy and assistance of all who look with dread upon the possibility of the restoration of the Democratic party to the coatrol of the Government" But the Republican clerks, laborers and scullions were not inclined to. respond as liberally as Hubbell desired. They hesitated. Many of them were convinced that the era of Republican rascality and robbery was drawing to a close. They knew that the Republican bosses were alarmed and that their methods were those of desperation, in proof of which Habbell issued another circular as follows: "Sib: Your failureito respond to the circular of lkiay 15, 1332, sent to you by this committee, is noted with surprise. It is hoped that the only reason for such failara is that the matter escape yuar t teu.ua, owing to press of other cares. Great p iitica 1 battles can not be won in this war.

11 will ts observed that HabMi was ere ating a fand for future emergencies, and it was this urgency that transformed Bacon, the pasnt office clerk, into a thief. He stole for the party. Ha robbed at the bidding of Hubbell, and the contemplated investigation will make, it is believe I, further disclosure, showing to what extent money was stolen from 2S7C to IS! to secure the election of a Republican Congress and administration. To- have bokib rational idea of Republican piracy, the following from the North American Review for September, 1832, will be read with interest: - "Could the curtain of secrecy be lifted, we should see a vast drag net of ertortica thrown out by the committee from Washington over the whole land, from M&ins to . California, with every humble official and laborer from those under the sea at Hell Gate to the weather observers on Pike's Peak, entangled In its meshes, and busy among them for their prey a series of tax extortioners ranging down from Habbell, tae hnndred; each paid a ciumu-iion ou ;ma collections in tra9 Tarsus'! hum Tbipe DLinioD, book in huJ, ara bin itDg I be official corridors and trackim; ifi public Jabotrs.

"The tveary scrub-women are persecuted to their garrets. The poor office boys are bullied at their evening school; the money needed for rent Is taken from the aged father and only son ; men enfeebled on the battlefields are harried in the very Bhadow of the capitol; lifeboat crews listening oa stormy shores for the cry of the shipwrecked, and even chaplains and nurses at the bedside of the dying are not exempted from the merciless, mercenary, indecent conscription which reproduces the;infamy of Oriental tax farming. We know of the head of a family who hesitates between defying Habbell and taking a meaner tenement; of ' a-boy at evening school blackmailed of thrpft dnllnn) vhiln wenrinir a

A newspaper before us gives that of a laborer with a family earning $730- a year pursued by a harpy for $15, and also that of a boy of thirteen earning $1 a day with another harpy after him for $3. 0. To women and Rirls no mercy is shown." With such facts before them, the people will readily comprehend why the Republican party was exiled from power. It had forfeited the respect of the country. It was corrupt to the core. Its methods were criminal and couli be no longer tolerated. The Republican party .has not changed its policy. It no longer robs the; people, simply because it is not in power; and honest Republicans fearlessly'assent that the standard bearersof the party Blaine and Shermanrepresent all that isile in Repubhcaniim. Those ara dangerous men, and that they will not vote for either ot them. But it matters little who the Republicans nominate. The people obj ect to Republicanism. It is dishonesty. It corrupts, debases ; has finished its mission and must disappear.
