One of the most horrible incidents of the
hostility shown by the poor to the physicians,
when the cause of this hostility is understood.
1t has come to be widely believed that the
doctors have received orders from the govern
ment to facilitate the spread of the cholera in
order to diminish the surplus population.
Absurd as this feeling is, its absurdity is not
so striking as the hideousness of social con-
dition in which the majority of the commu-
nifty can be persuaded that the minority is
looking out for ways and means of killing of
its members.

The last number of the Irish World pub
fishes letters from thirty-tw two prominent Irish
Democrats, residing in different states of the
Union, repudiating Cleveland and declaring
their intention to vote for Blaine and Logan.
Most of these letters are able and eloquent,
showing the writers to be far above the aver
age in education and intelligence. The up
rising of American Irish citizens vindicates
the statement John Kelly made at Chicago
that 'neither he nor Tammany nor anybody
else could influence the laboring men and the
Irish Americans to vote for Grover Cleve-
land" The World, both by telling cartoons,
and by vigo rous editorial utterances, is max
ing an aggressive fight for the Republican
ticket

The Democrats take it very unkindly be-
cause the New York Tribune has hunted up
and republished speech which Thomas A.
Hendricks made at Shelbyville, Ind, at a
gathering of copperhead Democrats in 1863
In this speech Mr. Hendricks declared that
the abolitionists were responsible for the war,
and said that "such men" ought to be driven
out of the White House with a bundle OF
switches he was ready, he said, to compro-
mise with the South at any time, and he
should vote TO take back the emancipation
proclamation at any time he counseled for
chile opposition 10 the draft and the act of
Congress providing for arming $50, 600 ne
grOes he denounced as browning act of in
justice" and direct insult to every white man
and woman in the United States. No wonder
the Democrats dislike such revelations about
their candidate, but how do the "indepen-
dent Republicans like the idea of casting
their ballots for this sort of man?

The Republicans in the great manufactur-
ing districts in New England and the Middle
States are confident and even jubilant over
the party prospects. With them protection
is the great issue, and the workingmen are as
quick to see what q Democratic triumph
would mean as are the capitalists who employ
the labor. In all the towns where large man
ufacluring interests abound the Irishmen are
forming Blaine and Logan clubs, and If one
suggests to them that heretofore they have
always been brought into tho party traces at
tho last moment, the reply comes sharp and
prompt, eve know it, but this year We have
organized and are pulling together and moth
ing can stop US from voting for Blaine and
Lopen"

The sun's Grievance.


Our grievance is of the simplest and plain
est nature There is nothing about it TO re-

repeatedly, and will publish it again when
ever it is asked for We hold that Grover
Cleveland is not fitted to be President, and
that he has done nothing to merit such pro-
motion

BUFFALO, N. Y. July 2l.-[Ed!tor of the Tribune ]
1t seems to me that leading question Of this cam
paign ought to be: " Do the American people want a
common lbertne for their president 2" II not It is
very easy FOR you TO show that they ought not to
choose Mr.. Cleveland Of this city, Every word which
you will read concerning his character in or from the
Buffalo Telegraph Of this date have reason to know
is true. Unfortunately for many clean men who will
vote the Democratic ticket this year in the interest Of
purity and reform, the publication referred to is
not a campaign lie, but the saddest and most solemn
truth. The who prepared It for the press Is one
of our best known and most widely honored clergy
men, and he did II after personal investigation and
Influenced only by Of the sternest moral obi.

Letter. OF Two RunaIo CIerr,mep


The Rev. Geo. II. Ball, ''the trusted and
respected pastor of tho Hudson street Free
Baptist church of Buffalo" in letter to the
Chicago Tribune, over his own signature,
says
~ had carefully Investigated the case and found
the evidence OF his guilt overwhelming. He was be-
ing urged upon the confidence Of good people on the
plea Of exceptional purity, and religions papers were
being mised and were misleading Others / wished
them to consider the and discuss the relation OF
unchastity to civil promotions. The people need in
treat It lightly, and youth are being swept away
from the path Of virtue by their example II seems
to me that religious journals have special duty to do
in the matter.
THE publication Of my letter is bringing me a food
OF inquiries. 1t consumes my time and strength to
answer them, and want relief. The Telegraph Of
this city has published the quite fully and be-
lieye truthfully and without exaggeration The ed-
tor Of that paper is Christian gentleman who would
not knowingly publish an untruth. He took great
pains TO ascertain the facts before disclosing any
thing That paper can be had singly by the guam
tity. II people will sent for 1t instead Of writing
me shall be greatly obliged.

mArily moral one. Every good man and pure wom-
is interested to have bachelor of bad habits kept

3jl67s In the chief tributary OF the Connecticut the
Pennington River last year 1,l55 shad were caught
$500 in 1882 and ll,50S In 1881. The Commissioners
attribute this gradual disappearance OF the shad to the
destructive modes of fishing practised along the river
The only remedy that they could suggest was artificial
propagation Last year at the Massachusetts, hatchery
below the Holyoke dam, 3,212,5O0 young shad were
hached and turned into the river The Commission
er feel quite confident that result this years catch
Of shad will largely in excess OF last years and more

care be taken euforce the laws about the manner OF
catching the fish. the Connecticut River will yet be able
