DEMOCRACY AND THE TWIN
RELICS.

IT has been favorite theory of the
party that it has accom-
plished the moral reforms in this coun-
try for the past Is years. A common de-
fusion is that the Republican party
saved the Union and freed the slave, and
proceeding upon this false basis this
party has claimed to have placed the
people of the United States under last.
ing obligations to it. But The premise
Is q false one. The Rep0biican party
did not save tho Union nor free the
slave. Those greaS results were accom-
plished by the northern states, whose
armies contained thousands of as true,
patriotic and valiant Democratic sol
diers as could be found within the lin
its of thu United States Of America.
MorElonsm has been called this twin
relic O. barbarism, and fer eight or ten

can party has charged itself with the
extirpation of the Objectionable prsc.

BALTIMORE, May 4.-Eugene N. Bell,
a prominent merchant of this city, to-
day filed his answer to the divorce suit

any vicious conduct or unkindness. He

that his wife was connected with the

now his lady friends declined to recog-

the victim OF an abandoned woman.
Mr.. Bell further AYERS that since his
separation from his wife he has discov-

HE RRITQN AND HIS BEER.

For some time past the British people
have been ON the eve of bloody, costly

boundary question, would not only
have Occasione9 the loss of Thousand
of valuable lives and millions of money
but necessarily Involved the imposition
of much heavier taxes than England
has had to pay for long years. There
has not on thil account been heard a

manifested by all classes, who SEEM

burdens, new responsibilities and
plunge into war.
But there appears to be limit to

and its attendant horrors could be
