inquest Of the body of the colored man,
j. T. Fisher, was concluded this even
ing, the jury returning verdict that
deceased came toh his death from gun
shot wound at the hands of Jesse Jack
son, and that Dan Sparks was ACCESSORY
to the crime. Great indignation is eX-
pressed among the colored people, with
whom Fisher stood very high. jackson
and Sparks are both in Jail, and it is un-
dcrstood they have confessed their
guilt. Fisher lived alone, on a farm
about five miles from the city, and
Sparks and jackson were employed by

PHILADELPHIA, July 2i,-When the

Illinois, of the American line, to sail for

The UPRISING oE HONESTY.

II would have been impossible to nom
mate such man as BLAINE for the
Presidency ten or twelve years ago. 1t
would have been regarded us n bid for
defeat, an insult to the people. The fact
that his party took him up this year, not
by machine methods, but by clamor
within the party, is an indication of the
state of patriotism and the degree, of
honesty left TO the Republican party MS n
whole. When nominations begin to run
down at the heels, so to speak, Just rs
when dynastios begin to leave imbeciles
for the succession, it is a pointer that
the good blood has run out, that
the family polite has begun to
decay. The Roman Empire up
for sale is no more damaging com
mentary on the time than the nomina-
ton Of such men as BLAINE and GAR
FIELD for the Presidency. 1t bespealls
the loss of national pride and public
honesty.
Fortunately, this shaded picture is not
all dark. Little glimpses of sunlight
break through here and there, and man
ifestations of public spirit and public de-
cency are seen.
The Independent Republican meeting
at the University Cub theatre must
grow upon the people. II was one ofthe
boldest exhibitions of manliness that
has been seen in America Tor twenty
five years,and cannot but exert health
nl influence upon public morals even
though BLAINE should be elected in No
vember. If he is not elected this indie
pendent bolt will absolutely raise future
nominations to the exact standard of
the Office sought.
1t is evidence Of another fact, and that
is the decay of fierce partisan and sec
tional spirit that have spread for years
past over the country as political Upas

MAKING HISTORY.

QUEEN NICToRIA'S reign has been as
eventful as it has been Il long one to
Great Britain. Revolutions and changes |
and famous eras have come and gone
there within the past fOrty-tive years,
leaving their impress more or less upon |
the time and the intelligence and senti-
ments of the good Queens people, but !
none of them have equaled in dignity
and Importance the present Franchise
measure with which Mr.. GLADSTONE is |
attempting to round Off his great career.
Out of the millions in Great Britain,
100000 only enjoy that inestimable
boon of the freeman, the ballot. No in
crease in the number of voters has
taken place for years, although pop
ulation has multiplied itself TWEEN
ty-fold and intelligence has
grown with the growth Of population,
The interests of the people in govern
ment have so grown also as to render
the ballot a greater necessity and more
powerful weapon than ever before. Mr..
GLADSTONE simply proposes to do JUS
tice and arm the 100000 freemen who
have come up in England in the past
quarter or half century and taken
their places in the ranks, with the ballot.
| 1t is a movement to enfranchise 100000
sturdy sons of toll with interests to pro-
tect and intelligence sufficient to protect
| them.
BY the side of such movement, the
enfranchisement of the negro, about
which we hear so much and know more,
is dwarfed. What is ballot to 100000
| ignorant negroes, compared to the bal
lot in the hands of 2000,0O0 wide awake.
aggressive, intelligent Englishmen?
But in the way of this grand reform
stands the hereditary, unprogressivc,
rotten, non-pcoductive Peerage. The
House of Lords refuse to those from
whom they draw their support and pro-
lection and by whose sui1erance alone
they exist in this latter day, Democratic
time, the poor privilege of choosing
their own representatives in the Com
mons. This is bold and dangerous
position for the Lords to take. no cy-
clone ever left cleaner or more desc
. late track than the English masses
would leave where the rotten structure
of the Peerage stood, if once their wrath
, is aroused.
: In view Of these facts the grand dem
onstrations in London in moral support
OF the Franchise bill rise above tn,
measure and dignity OF news items and
become historical data. The 100000
men in line on Monday las
. were making history but tho
press Of Britain do not appear
} to have appreciated that fact. \ revolu

Premier will have covered his occu
pancy of office with radiance before
which the tinsel and glamor of DIS
. RAELI's diplomatic triumphs or BIZ
MARCK's bloody victories, will pale int
insignilicance.
; The battle is the same on both sides o
. the Atlantic. GLADSTONE and the Dem
4 ocracy are fighting to the same end, tn
elevation of the masses above tn

Ties, barbecues and old time rallies are
to be held until the people are aroused

up a bigger Democratic majority than
the district has given for years.
If we mistake not such an interest

so.
There is manifestly a reason for all
this. The people have this wear

grand ticket, representing in its two
