People who knew Henry NJ Stanley
twenty years ago had no thought that he
would develop into one of the great men
of the century. His beginning was not
promising. He cared SO little for his an
cestral name that he gave II up and his
immediate relatives had no special reason
for desiring to keep him in the family.
He was coarse and illiterate, even after
ho became newspaper correspondent,
and it was not until he spent two years
in the society Of officers of the British
army in Abyssinia that ho acquired any
thing resembling tho manners of gentle.
man.
But with all his defects in character
and education, Stanley had the material
in him from which heroes are made. He
had personal courage, unbounded egotism,
and perseverance that nevor tagged. I'm
scrupulous az to his methods, he valued
nothing but success, and permitted
nothing to stand in the way of success
that could be removed. He is a good
man to deal with savsges, and probably
he would have won distinction nowhere
else in the world except in the dark con-
tinent." There are not many civilized
men who could have crossed equatorial
Africa from ocean to ocean five years ago,
and because Stanley was able to do this
he will be enrolled among the greatest
explorers Of the century.
Mr.. Stanley arrived at Plymouth,

THERE Is something strange and ap-
- alling in the certainty with which tho
perpetration of some particularly atrocious
crime is followed at once by others of tho
same type. Some devilish impulse moves
the human tigor in New York, for in
stance, to commit some act of peculiar
ferocity or wickedness, and almost before
the printers ink is dry that records the
deed intelligence will flash over the wires
of similar crime done in some far dis
tant state. 1t is as though some subtle
sympathy Of crime for crime could reach
out through space from one debased mind
to another and move both through this
mysterious telygraphy to tho same form
of outage against humanity.
Only few weeks ago the journals of
the country were burdened with accounts
of ghastly murders, involving the slaugh-
ter of whole families in widely-soparat
states, one crime following 30 close upon
another that they seemed to havo some
hideous relation to each other. Just at
present there is an epidemic of erotic
crimes Of singularly repulsivo and
shocking typo. Crime is unlovely in any
form, but tho type now raging is that
which should most surely bring swift and
severe punishment. Among sixty millions
of people wrongs wrought to person, and
property arc bound to occur from day to
day, and every now and then tho epi-
demio succession of one description or an :
other will break forth TO excite special
wonder and horror; but for tho credit of
humanity it is TO be hoped tho recurrence
of tho present outbreak of crimes of lust
will DO few and far apart.

American citizens Of Irish birth are
very numerous. They abound In large
numbers in all tho great cities, and tho,
is scarcely town or even q villagei,;a tho
whole United States that doe, p,ot have q
few sons of tho Emerald ksfor anon, n.
resident population. With here and there
an exception thess.,,o ..a..,i,.os s,..-
nave heret99f2ro acted with tho demo-
..".'o pasfy, and without their votes tho
paiS2y I'd would be in hopeless minority in
tfttery state Of the union with the posi-
bio exception of kentucky.
For tho first time in tho history of tho
country the distinctively Irish sentiment
has arrayed itself against the democratic
candidate for the presidency. The Irish
Americans, who have brought with them
to their adopted country tho feelings and
opinions which animate the masses of the
Irish people at home. will not vote for
Cleveland. He represents the political
ideas which obtain In England, and his
election would be hailed as great
triumph by the British FREQ traders. The
Irish voters are not disposed to assist in
fastening policy on tho country which
would benefit British manufacturers at
the expense Of American laborers.
The great mass meeting in New York
city on Monday night marked n now de.
parture in politics. Three thousand
lrishmen crowded Chickering hall and
an uncounted multitude flied the noigh-
boring streets. On the platform were a
large number of gentlemen who are uni
versally recognized as leaders Of Irish
opinion. The orators Of the evening
wero representative Irishmen, and tho
great assembly in its enthusiasm was
truly Irish. Henry Caroy Baird de-
clared that he had been waiting for
twenty-five years for the time to come
when Irishmen would show disposition
to fight England-not by shot md she'll
but by breaking down her industries.
Mr.. Baird promised 100000 majority for
Blaine and Logan 10 Pennsylvania.
This great New York meeting is but
the beginning Of the Irish revolt against
tho democratic party. Blaine and Logan
clubs, composed exclusively of Irishmen
who have heretofore been democrats, arc
forming in northern and western New
York, in tho manufacturing towns of
Massachusetts, and in New Jersey. The
accessions to the republican ranks in
western New York will more than Offset
the detection of the .independents' in
New York city and Brooklyn. The out
Iook couIu not DO more unUvurayiug.

until he can get out of politics the easiest
way. He ought to got himself elected

tail has sore toe. Such team cou Id
not make time in walking match, lot

The Hon. David Davis has thrown his
weight for Blaine and Logan-some-
where in the neighborhood of 400 pounds.
Tho heavy mon all go in for tho support
of the "plumed knight."-Providence
Press.
Both Cleveland and Blaine are very
popular with foreigners, the only differ
ence being that the most of Cleveland
supporters are not over yet, while Blaines
are here and naturalized--Pittsburg Com
mercial- Gdsette.
Tho "Prodigal Sons" are rioting In New
York. They expect to get back into the
republican household without the expe-
rience Of dining Oh democratio husks, and
will hold on to their return ticket
Boston Traveller.
The only bolting republicans in this
vicinity are the free traders. The num-
ber of them is limited In this locality to
q very small handful. But they are men
who have tho ability to make tho most of
their opportunity, and they mean the
world shall hear Of them.-RocheSter Post
Express.
Mr.. Hendricks has touched the great
responsive cord in democratic breasts, and

says: Let us turn them out and put 100, =
900 honest men in their places. ."--Miine-
dpOlis Tribune.

IL that ho will execute all laws faithfully.
The prohibitionists, knowing this, yot
persist in their course, one which can do
them no good, aud can only result, IL Mr..
Blaine should be defeated, in tho success
of the party's open enemy. Do they seek
to force pledges from the republicans ?

PiHSburg Dispatch.
Tho Clevelandlte who has any doubt
about the reality of the Irish bolt to
Blaine, which the Journal has been point
ing out for some time, should take aG-
count of the Chickcring hall meeting last
night. 1t was large; it oyerilowed; il was
decorous, and, above all, enthusiastic for
Blaine. Tho strong AmericAnism Of the
man, his stand on tho side of American
industry against tho pauper- paid labor of
Europe as we'll as the almost serf-labor OF
China, go far to account for this enthusi-
asm. Tho attitude Of MIR. Cleveland on
questions between labor and capital, be-
tween workingmen and corporations, has
doubtless repollod these Irishmen from
Blaine Tho meeting is something for
Mr.. Cleveland to note before no puts tho
final touches to his lettor Of acceptance

Mr.. CLEVELAND spoke little piece to
the committee which apprised him of his
nomination that will not live in history
or literature as q great oratorical effort
Tho speech Is little longer than tho one
delivered by Abraham Lincoln on the
battlefield at Gettysburg, but is not as
good. Grover Cleveland is not Abraham
Lincoln. Whatever else he may do, he
will never astonish his party with brill
liant state paper. His first venture is SO
utterly commonplace that nobody will
hereafter claim for tho democratic candi-
date for president even average abilities
rs a politician, to say nothing of his pro-
tensions as a statesman. 1t is easy to
understand why the democratic editors
and their republican assistants are beg
ging Gov. Cleveland not to write q long

short letter is a task quite equal to his
