CHARLES LEMPRTERE, ID. G. t., Law Fell
low OF 81. Johns College, oxford, who recently
suent some time in this country, has been lee
turing in London upon his American expert
euces. After telling his hearers how "neariy
every one Of the theoretical nOstrum5 proposed
by English reformcrs had been practically
adopted in the United States" and how the
"tcst ~ their real value was there to be plainly
seen.' he argued that this whole country was
controlled by a series of powerful and corrupt
Rings. rich enough to coerce or purchase the
legislatures and smart enough 10 whcede and
defraud the people. We can easily believe that
Dr. LEMrRiERE's narrative astouuded his audi
enoe, especially when he told them that the
American people were Intelligent, enterprsing,
progressive, and wide-awakc, though they al
lowed themselves to fail into the clutches Of
these Rings. But the English people must take
notice that we are smashing the corrupt Rings,
one after the other; that we have already got
rid OF some Of the worst Of them and that We
Intend to destroy all Of them, instead Of allow
ing any OF them to destroy the country. The

fate. Hundreds and thousands Of millions Of
plunder have been seized by the deyouring
Rings; they have corrupted our politics; they
have purchased our law makers; they have
demoriized many branches OF our business
and industry; they have got possession Of some
Of our newspapers; they have spread their
moral poison through society. Some VI them
