MOBILE, July %, 1885.
If, as the old adage says, "no
news is good news" then this letter
will be chock full OF good things,
Our town is as dull as the desert of
Sahara, without an oasis to break
the monotony of life. The pleas.
ure resoIts near the city, Point
Clear, Towards and South End,
have supplanted the pleasures Of
the city by taking all who are able
to go, ami yet there is a large army
of "stay at homes,' whom cruel ne
cessity compels to exist in a per
spring condition surrounded by
brick and mortar, and the truth is,
that we are socially and mentally
starving for news OF a local nature.
The result is, we have TO look
abroad for news, aud the recent
change in government in Great
Britain, and the startling exposures
OF the Palt-1fdU Gazette, whieh
shows the %rottennesS of the ruling
powers there and makes our repub.
hcan misdeeds seem actual virtues
by comparison. Concerning the
change Of government in England,
it is II subject not generally under
stood by our people; In fact, we
at home have political questions
very Imperfectly understood by the
masses of the people, without study
ing the political conditions Of any
other. But to any one who has
for the past twenty. five OF thirty
years observed the progress of
England it is very noticeable that
the government aud people occupy
different relations to each other
from what they did. a quiet revo-
luton has been going on. The
people are taking il frmer hold Of
The governments, while those in
power are compelled to relax the
arbitrary hold they have maintain
ed upon the people, As between
the Tories who are clinging to the
remnants Of former I tyranny, and
Liberals who represent tho people
there can be but one result. 1t iS
bound to come. And this conflict
will ultimately end in the power
being lodged where it properly be
longS-with the people at large.
The names OF John Bright and
Gladstone, and others, will he re-
membercd as prominent leaders
1chO are Of the people and fighting
the peoples battles.
OF the terrible %revela ions made
in the PdHMaHG Gazette tins is not
the place to rccite them. They
cannot be entered into without de-
tails unfit to he published, aud yet
is right the people OF England
should know them, The startling
crimes of the rich and powerful
there, is another severe blow ut the
favored few, who claim an inherit
ed right to the very souls as well
rs the bodies OF the people, and il
the people are willing to submit to
such internal hGnds, and to the nc
cursed laws that allow such acts,
they deserve to be trampled OH even
worse than they are. The lives aud
liberties of any people cannot be
too c~lusrly guarded, in amy coun
and when wealthy T. aud
office holders combine tor II system
Dt deOauchery, it is quite time for
people to rise in their might
