In speaking of the Chicago Conyen-

4. On account of the character OF

Jerusalem as a Place of Residence.

Jerusalem seems to be growing in ia
vor as place of residence for foreigners
who find their native countries uncom-
Portable. The foreign Jewish popula
ton has, according to Consul Moore, in
creased considerably of late years. The
community is now estimated at $1,000,
including native Jews, against 10000 in
1873. The right of holding real proper
ty in Turkey, conceded to foreign SUBJ
jects by the protocol in 1868, probably
accounts for the increased immigration.
The German colony at Jerusalem now
numbers nearly 400 persons; that at Jaf-
ia about 300. There is third German
settlement at Caifa of about equal num-
Der with the last mentioned. The set
tiers are mechanics, artifcers, carriers,
and agriculturists, and are fairly pros
porous. No public works have been ex-
ecuted, yet harbor at Jaffa, good car

the strong value the liberties of the
weak. The question is whether the
proud value the liberties of the humble.
The question is whether the man of
great intellect, of great learning, values
the liberties of the ignorant. And when
a great section of this country talks
about suffrage as an inviolable right,
and then with all its strength, all its
pride, all its learning, faunts itself be-
fore this country, boastful that it can
intimidate the weak and can deceive the
ignorant, I don't think much of their
love of liberty, except in the sense that
Kings and mobiles love hberty-for its
license, at the expense of the poor, the
humble, the ignorant and the weak.
That is an old stage of politics in this
world, but since the Fourth of July,
1776, it has not been the politics of the
American people, and / don't think it
will be next November.
Let us see how much the platforms
preach, and, at the hustings, the orators
palayer about the suffrage. The plat
form of the Democratic party speaks of
it as the right preservative of all rights,
and Immediately proceeds to take it away
from the blacks. Now, if that right is
preservative of all rights, and you take
it away from the blacks, cunning as you
are. You take away their rights. Now,
Gen. Hancock says, In the admirable
letter OF acceptance, of which his party
is SO proud, that free ballot, full vote
and an honest count is what the people
OF the United States want. Now, here
IS little table that has been used by an
accomplished orator throughout the
Western part of this country, in which
he gives the following result of q free
ballot, full vote and fair count in
1875:
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-10-15

Now, you see what the Democratic
protection Of the right of suffrage, pre-
sentative of all rights, and free ballot,
full vote, and fair count is. Here
are eleven counties in six different
Southern States that have produced
twenty-one votes for Hayes and sixteen
odd thousand for Tilden. Now, / think
that, under candidate that is better
than his party, and with this printing
in the platform, and this palaver at the
hustings, the Republican vote in these
eleven counties will probably be doubled
from twenty-one to forty-two. But as
the Democrats like to be included in all
this talk about free ballot, full vote
and a fair count, I suppose their aggre-
gate will rise from 10000 to 80, 900.
Well, gentlemen, I don't know what
the American people are made of. I
don't know whether they like this
palaver. don't think it is creditable to
candidate that is better than his party
to write such contemptuous imitation of
principles as that. I don't think it is
creditable to a party, even though it is
worse than candidate. to put forth
such solemn proposition of its love of
that suffrage, preservative of our
rights" The only equal for this dis
parity between principles and practice
that ! have ever heard of was that of
the man who broke his wife's head with
a motto that hung in frame at their
bedside. "God Bless Our Home"
Now, as / say, loving the suffrage, we
resent any interference with it. Now,
this Democratic party says to us, sob,
don't mind them, they are far off; they
are not of your race ; they are ignorant !;
they are feeble. Don't distress your
selves about this injury of the poor
blacks in the distant parts of the coun-
try that is our State rights, and we
mean to exercise it." But when Ameri-
can liberty accuses the Democratic party
of having made o deadly assault upon
the foundation right of liberty and
equality, the Democratic party under
takes to reply: "When have we made
such an assault Why, we have prophe-
sled under the name Of liberty, and under
the name of liberty we have cast out
Republican devils" The answer is
Inasmuch as We have done it to the
least Of these poor disciples of liberty at
its feet, We have done it unto me, and
in the scales of justice and in the eye
and the balance of the divine scrutiny
this is law of the moral government of
the world, and, if this people looks with
patience on this robbery Of the suffrage
from these poor freemen, it won't be
long before we will have to debate what
we shall do to protect the suffrage of
these poor plebeians that Tarquin the
superb robs of their franchises.

THE POOR MANS FRIEND.
NEr. Evarts Pays His Respects TO the
Democratic Candidate for Vice
President.

TEr. Evarts Pays His Respects TO the
Democratic Candidate for Vice
President.
In his speech at Cooper Institute,
New York, Secretary Evarts said:
Now, gentlemen, We have candidates
also called Vice Presidents, and take
Mr.. English first. 1 have never seen
any very open or public avowal of why
the Democrats nominated Mr.. English.
He was not In our minds at all. I do
not know that his countrymen were turn
ing him over among the men that they
thought the Democrats could nominate.
It will not do to put it wholly upon the
fact that he is rich banker, so we look
at the speeches he has made in Congress
twenty years ago, when they talked
about abolitionists and about the blacks
and about the plebeians in the fashion
that the old Democrat used to talk about
our notions of befriending the people.
There did not seem to be reason for
that, and leave it to his neighbors, who
have expressed their minds about him,
whether there is anything in that large
liberality of personal character which
makes man popular in spite of the
badness of his political principles. 1
do not understand that there is a
very large claim on that score. [ do
observe In his letter of acceptance that
he seems to be of a very sympathetic
natrIre-feels for the sufferings of 9TH
ers-because observe that he expresses
great interest in the toiling millions of
his countrymen. Well, these are all
trifiing matters, perhaps, but they do
show whether party is sincere or not,
and when 1 say that Mr.. English had
this yearning of heart for the toiling
millions of his countrymen, I could not
but think of a story that our excellent
Judge-Judge Brady-is fond of telling
at the expense of our profession-for
there IS one good thing about us law
yers, that we do repeat all the jokes
against ourselves that we can pick up.
Well, a young man who had lost his
father and had small estate of $50 from
a solvent debtor that yet he needed
to collect by law, waited upon a
lawyer in the village who, he knew, was
friend of his father, and asked him to
collect it. The lawyer received him as
only a lawyer knows how to receive a
client, and admitted frankly that he did
know his father, that he loved him as
father, and nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to collect that lit
tie bill. So, when the process had
brought in the money, word was sent to
the young man that the debt had been
collected, and he would be glad to pay it
him, deducting the costs, and so the law
yer handed out to the young man, who
was full of gratitude, $15 out of the $50,
at which he seemed a little dazed in
counting it, and the lawyer said: "Why,
is not it all right; are not the sis
there?' ooh, yes, " says the young man,
there are $15; I was only thinking
how lucky it was for me that you didn't
know my grandfather. And I could not
help thinking how lucky it was for these
toiling millions of our countrymen that
only few thousand of them were within
the immediate friendship of Mr.. English.

The Oneida Communists.

Prof. Mears. of Hamilton College, says
there is reason to believe that the adop-
ton of regular matrimony by the Oneida
community was in good faith, even
though many members had not then and
have not yet changed their opinions, but
hoped, at some future time, to follow
them without molestation. Prof. Mears
was one of the Syracuse committee who
made the movement to have President
Noyes of the community indicted. He
asserts that there was internal discord,
that "the extravagant veneration for
Noyes had seriously declined" and adds
the following narrative: Noyes himself
and his friends became alarmed. The cir
Gle, once SO obsequious and blindly
loyal, could no longer be implicitly
trusted. The alarm rose to q panic.
Flight was decided upon. To insure
against possible hinderances, it was kept
a secret from most of the family. At
night carriage, containing the founder
and two faithful attendants, was driven
stealthily away to a remote railroad
station. The community, as a whole, was
kept in ignorance Of his whereabouts. On
the LIST of March last it became generally
known that he had concluded to remain
in Canada, in or near Clifton. in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Niagara Falls. Here
the community, or financial managers Of
the concern, rented him a house, fur
nished him horse and carriage, and
provided in part for his living expenses.
His legal wife, Mrs. FL. A. Noyes, went
to him, accompanied or followed by three
or four other unmarried and younger
women. Thus begins new episode in
the history of this movement. Noyes is
undertaking at the age Of threescore
years and nine. to plant a new commun-
ity.
