REPUBLICAN SUCCESS.

THE TIMES ON KEARNEY1sM.
LONDON, Aug. 2l.-The Times reprints a
report of an interview between Butler
and Kearney, and has editorial about them
and the National party, in which it says of the
latter: 1t might become serious danger to
the republic if it were possible for the discon-
tented and ignorant masses to pool their issues
and combine against capital. There are prac-
power of majority driven by strong
passions and hundreds of thousands of work
ing men who have felt the pinch of hunger
hundreds of times and been thrown out of
work or had to subsist on lower wages are
urged by the most powerful forces to come
together, as Kearney puts it, $ for bread and
butter" But it is doubtful whether those
who rave most wildly against society are yet SO
firmly welded each of them to his own theories
OF reconstruction or the most superstitious
varieties of old creeds. The Times then briskly
summarizes the proceedings before Congress-
man HeWItt's commission, and concludes as
follows: 1.-The United States would have more

and less torn by internal jealousies.'
