LoNDoN's DANGEROUS CLASSES.

The dangerous classes Of London show
little signs of diminution, in spite of
school boards and. other sOftening infu-
ences. Robbenes from the person are as
frequent as ever and marked by cynical
openness. Formerly if the citizen kept
to public and frequented thoroughfares he
was safe; but now gentlemanly dressed
persons compel ladies to stand and deliver
on the Thames Embankment while foot.
pads stop and rifle passengers in places as
open and populous as the Blackfriars
Road. Even the gentler sex seem to
have taken to robbery with violence.
Four young women are now committed
for trial charged with attacking man in
open daylight in the neighborhood of
Commercial Road and intlicting severe
injuries on him, besides robbing him of
his money.

down on his shoulders or the back OF his

ATLANTIC CRY, N. j., Aug. 81.
Atlantic City stands among the
front rank SIS one Of the most favora-
bic resorts along the entire coast,
and can now boast of far better
season than what it has been for
years past. The Island now contains
more guests than any other sea re-
solt, and still the crowded trains con-
tinue to bring more health and plea
sure seekers.
Among the leading cottages l will
mention the IaVelow, oumnuI,
Gwitt, Blends, Baltimore, Clinton,
Anderson, all of which are always
filled with well pleased guests, and
are too well known to need further
comment.
have no doubt that the tourists
and travellers who have so patiently
suffered at the hands of baggage
smsshcrs' may well rejoice over
the new law which imposes a fine of
fifty dollars for each trunk or parcel
damaged by careless handling. The
making of this law wag one of the
most commendable achievements of
the recent session of the Legislature,
and undoubtedly other States will
follow the good example set by New
Jersey.
1t is at this season of pleasure
travel that the baggage 'smashers,'
who are peculiarly American, hold
high carnival and seem to take ex-
ceptional delight in demolishing the
baggage of steamboat and railroad
passengers, and in no other country
in the world would this national out
rage have so long continued. There
can be no misinterpretation OF the
law; it is concise but comprehensive,
and we look for immediate benefits
from its operation. The baggage
smashers in this State at least have
had their day, and henceforth will be
made to realize that disregard for
other peoples property entails con-
siderable expense.
Lizzie Farlin, foolish maiden, IA
years old, lives at No. 347 North
Front St, Phila She became SO filed
with a desire to visit Atlantic City
that when her parents forbade the
journey she deliberately swallowed a
dose of laudanum with suicidal intent
After her life was saved she was al
lowed to go to the seashorc for two
weeks; when that period had elapsed
Lizzie was brou1ht back home only
to become frantic for another look at
the sad sea waves. Strange 10 say
nothing could appease this ardent de-
sire but another dose Of laudanum,
but since the second Intellectual at

I'COLORED REPUBLICANS,

" AT public meeting held in the
opera house building, by the colored
voters of Carlisle, Aug. 6, 1884, to
organize a campaign club for the bet
ter edifcation of our people, the fol-
lowing platform and resolutions were
unanimously adopted. Officers elected:
ROBERT THOMPSON, President.
JOnN A. SIMoNs, Y. President.
SAMUEL A. JORDAN, Secretary.
X. p. THOMPSON, Cor. Secretary.
"WHEREAs, We are indebted to the
Republican party for the adoption OF
the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Eff
teenth Amendments to the Constitu-
tion, securing to US those sacred
rights OF personal libelty-of acquir-
ing private property, and of universal
suffrage. And
"W HEREAs, The Republican party
not only caused these amendments to
the Constitution in support of the
great principles which have secured
justice TO tie colored people, but has
since in the halls oflegislation, stead
lily, consistently and successfully
moulded the laws of the land to the
end that those great principals may
be forever recognized and maintained.
And
"WHEREAs, The commercial policy
of the Republican party is strictly
one for the protection of our indus
tries. by reason whereof the wages of
our workingmen are now the highest
in the world. And
"WHEREAs, The Democrats has
always opposed the conferring either
of liberty or the right of suffrage on
the colored people, and has obstruct-
ed their advancement as citizens by
voting as party against all measures
designed for the Improvement of our
condition. And
"WHEREAs, The Democratic party
now has its main support in a solid
south where the rights of the colored
citizens are ignored and their votes
fraudulently counted out. And
"WHEREAs, The Democratic party
claims the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments are un-
constitutional. The war was a fail
ure and that a negro has no rights
that white man has to sespect. Be
it
"Resolved, That the Republican
party has always been the true friend
and champion of the colored race,
and we approve of the Republican
policy of protecting the workingmen
of America. Be it
"Resol0ed, That we will enthusi-
astically support Hon. James G..
Blaine for President of the United
States and Gen. John A. Logan for
Vice President, as well as the whole
Republican ticket, and that we will
use all honorable means to secure
their election.

IRISHNIEN FOR BLAINE.

Hall, IN the Filth ward, and also one
at Woodberry.
| IRISnAIEN FOR BLAINE
A rcusing meeting was held on
last Friday night at Raine Hall, and
a Democratic boss tried to break it
up. Ringing speeches were made by
MesSrs. O'Connor and Matthews, who
gave sound advice. Resolutions were
adopted. There would have been
violence done had it not been for the
splendid discipline of the police force.
John L. Mathews called the meeting
to order, and said it was called in the
interest of Blaine and Logan. (Ap-
plause.) } He said now wherein lies
your power? The last census states
that in the great State of New York
alone there are about five hundred
thousand people of Irish descent.
Estimating one voter to every five
persons this would give an Irish vote
of one hundred thousand. That vote
alone acting independently in the COM
ing Presidential election can sway the
destinics of this country for the next
four years; it can say who will be our
next President. The time is come.
Will our people avail themselves of
it? If the tariff be the main question
that divides them, judge for your
selves. You know what free trade
means You felt it in your own
country. Ireland to. day is an exam
pie of England's ruinous free trade
policy. (Applause.) Free Trade was
forced on Ireland, not from choice,
but from the thunder of English guns
and the bayonets of English soldiers,
and to-day with all her splendid ia
cillties her working shops are closed,
her people are driven to despair, and
within the past five years she has
asked the charity Of the world to
keep her population from starving,
L. y. O'Connor was the next speaker.
John Lampson who was cut up by
George Lewis on last Thursday, is
improving.
The Twelfth ward colored Repub
licans organized Blaine and Logan
club at No. &C Oxford street, and a
hearty support wos pledged TO the
Presidential nominees of the Repub-
lican party.
Samuel PIichard, one of our we'll
known caterers, died on last Sunday
morning at his residence, and was
buried on Tuesday from his church,
Waters chapel. Revs. Bower and
Broadly conducted the servieec. Sam
uel Chase had the body in charge.
Rev. Bower preached an able ser
mon, showing the great value tnat
Brother Prichard had been to the
church, and that the church had lost
one of its best members.
Aaron Benton, Jr., one of the best
known and most respected colored
citizens of Baltimore, died on Wednes
day morning, at his residence 224
Hanover street. He was sixty-fVe
years of age.
John Hughes, the letter carrier,
accused of wife beating, has lost his
position.
Prof. G. III. Grant has returned to
the city again, he has been away to
the country for six weeks. He is
looking very well. When Professor
Grant takes hold of the organ he
makes all that is around know that
he understands what to do and when
to do it.
Professor John Reid, the chorister
at the First Church, on last Sunday
night sang some of his choice music.
The members were out in full.
The excursion that was given by
the Nazeriie to Frederick was grand,
they did not return until 4 o'clock
the next morning. No more.
