The New York Sun, Democratic from
way back, nourns in this hopeless fashion:
fsOf what use is it to contend against such a
decree9 The case has been settled against US,
the defeat of the Democracy in 1884 has been
decided beforehand in the house of its friends,
and the best that can now be done is to pro.
test against such wrong and such folly,
and to save as much as possible from the
ruins In such a condition it is a great COM
fort that there is so good Democrat as But
Ter for Democrats and reformers TO vote for.
There is even yet one way to redeem the error
that has been committed, and to put the De-
mocracy in the way Of lasting victory. Let
Grover Cleveland withdraw, and let Allen G.
Thurman be nominated in his place. Then
the Republican party will have to CO. and the
rascals will be turned out in earnest. 1t is
not yet too late But will it be doneg We do
not hope for it."

They were queer lot Of people who attended
the universal peace convention at New London,
Conn, last week. After the discussion of such
important topics as international arbitration
and the evils of war, the question of cruelty to
animals was taken up, Mr. Angel, the happily
named president of the anticruelty association
of Massachusetts,, upheld the views of Agassiz,
who, he said, believed that animals have a life
after death. A Philadelphia man said he be-
longed to a religious sect that for sixty years
had not partaken of the flesh of animals for the
reason that all creatures which have life
are entitled to that life. Another
speaker was SO much interested in
the Angels Bands of Mercy, whatever they may
be, that he purchased membership for himself,
wife and dead horse He believed the horse was
now in heaven, and that if his intelligent spirit
was present on that occasion he would be de-
lighted to know that he had been made mem
Der of the society. Another man represented
himself as taking such an interest in animals
that he never cut piece Of meat without "a
sort Of conjunction" Altogether, it seems to
have been gathering which proved anew that
it takes all kinds of people to make up even
