LONDON,s INIoUITY.

The report of the eminent commission
appointed TO investigate the charges made
by the Pail Mall Gazette leaves no doubt
regarding the truthfulneSs of the revela-
tons made by that journal. The commits
sion did not enter into an inquiry as to the
charges against particular men or classes of
men or against the police. Their inyesti-
CATION was confined strictly TO an inquiry
into the system of criminal vice described
in the publication. They do not guarantee
the accuracy of every statement made, but,
after carefully sitting the evidence, they do
say that on the whole the statements made
by the Pail Mall Gazette are substantially
true. While it was not expected, still
there was a faint hope that the investiga-
ton made by the commission would at least
show good deal of sensationallsm on the
part of the English journal. But that hope
is now dissipated, and we are forced TO
realization of the degraded social
status of London society. There is no
going behind the verdict of the commission.
The names of its members are sufficient to
guarantee the righteousness of its verdict.
No other committee of such distinction was

When the names of Cardinal MANNING,
the. archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop
of London and SAMUEL MORLEY are af-
fixed to document no one will have the
temerity to question its sincerity or its
truthfulneSS. The English people owe it
to themselves and TO the world to purge
their capital city of the iniquity with which
it is flooded. The great miSfortUnate of
this most diSgraceful fact is that royalty
and the nobility are largely responsible for
it. If it becomes essential to the purifica-
ton of the moral atmosphere of English
social life that royalty be dethroned and
that titles of nobility be eXtinguished. let it
be done. Communism in its worst form is
preferable to the rotten social status of
London life. 1t is better to have no gov
eminent than to have one based on vice.
Until the iniquity is destroyed, and the
great crime removed from London society,
the English government will be degraded
in the eyes of virtuous civilization.

PRECIOUS STONES.
Do They Belong To the Kingdom of
the Evil One

A mystery still hangs around the history
of precious stones. The dim uncertainty
which wells their origin, and. above all. the
utter ignorance IN which, after 4, 900 years
OF research and study, the wiseSt men
among the human race still remain with re-
gard 10 the purpose for which thew were
created, invests them with 4 weird interest
peculiar to themselves. Something IiI&
awe is always combined with the astOnish-
ment with which we contemplate a speci-
men of the diamond and are hidden to ex-
press admiration at its beauty and yalue.
Science will tell us that it is nothing more
than a compound of Silicate. soda and
magnesium, and yet the learned Prof.
DespreS, the greatest chemist of our dav.
spent whole months in manipulating
these ingredients without being able to pro-
duce single spark indicative of success
in producing the diamond by artificial
means. He was so indignant at being baf-
fed in his research that he was fain to con-
TESS to his pupils in the lecture-roOm that he
was almost inclined to agree with certain
learned Hebrew professor, who afIirms that
all precious stones, and the diamond in par
ticular, still belong to the dominion of Satan.
I'm the beginning" says he, ''GOd created
all things upon this earth for the benefit of
mankind, but Satan, being driven from his
dominion over earth's surface, still MAIN
tains his hold over all things which lie be-
low. Thus, gold and silver have tempted
men to infamy, lead and iron to murder and
warfare, sulphur and carbon to swift de-
structiOn of Gods image in the human race.
Now, worse than all this-fOr these hid
den substances can but destroy the body
it will be found that every precious gem
extracted from the earth has power to de-
strOy the soul, being invested with a Dor

self, where it has lain concealed from the
beginning of all time. and is still subjected
TO the power of the Evil One. The diamond
in particular is accounted among the sureSt
weapons for wreaking vengeance upon the
human race, and Satan never fails to make
it serve his purpose whenever a fitting op-
portunity presents itself in the weakness or
wickedneSS of man or wOmankind." And
surely it would seem as if there was some
truth in the assertion, when we turn to the
record of the murders, the mutilations,
the horrible fortunes inflicted by tyrants to
obtain possession of the bubbles which, for
the false value attributed to them through
human vanity, would be found worthless in
themselves.

Mrs. GRANTS request that an equal num-

PRINCESS BEaTRICE.

Two suns OF Love make day OF human life,
Which else, with all its pains and griefs and
deaths.
Were utter darkness; one the sun of dawn
That brightens through the mothers tender
eyes,
And warns the ehIld's awakening world; and
one
The later rising sun of spousal love,
Which from her household orbit draws the
child
To move in other spheres. The mother weeps
At that white funeral of the single life,
Her maiden daughters marriage; and her
tears
Are half of pleasure, half of pain. The
child
Is happy ever In leaving her. But thou,
True daughter, whose all faithful nlial eyes
Have seen the loneliness OF earthly thrones,
Wilt neither quit the widowed crown, nor let
This later light of love have risen in vain,
But, moving through the mothers home, be-
tween
The two that love thee, lead summer life.
Swayed by each love, and swaying to each
love
Like some conjectured planet in mid-heaven
Between two suns, and drawing down from
both
The light and genial warmth of double day.

VIRGINIA POLITICS.

The nomination of FITZHUGH LEE as
the Democratic candidate for governor i'm
Virginia virtually settles the state election
in that state in favor of the Democratic
party. There is no state i'm the Union
which clings so tenaciOusly 10 sentiment
or prides itself so much in the fame of an
illuStrious son as the state of Virginia.
There is magical strength in the name of
LEE in the Old Dominion. 1t is the symbol
of all that is pure, great and ehivalrous.
1t awakens an enthusiasm among the peo-
pie of that commonwealth that nothing
else can. When JOHN WISE was nomi-
mated by the MALONE Republicans 1t was
done for the purpose of invoking to the aid
of a bad cause the memory of an illustrious
statesmen whose name was once a tower
of strength. In doing this MALONE
evinced shrewdness, for he knew the temper
of the people whose suffrages he asked.
But the Democrats have outwitted MA
HONE, for they have placed their standard
in the hands of one who bears a name in
the presence of which all other Virginia
names grow dim.
The Democrats have the advantage also
in the character of their candidate. All
that is illustrious of the Republican NOM
inee lies Wondering in the grave. The
memory of distinguished father does not
make the son great. JOHN WISE is only
known in his public career as the bitter
partisan of very bad cause. On the other
hand, the candidate of the Democratic
party does not have to rely on the deeds of
his ancestors for record. He is perhaps
the best-known man in Virginia to-day
and the most popular. He acquired dis
tinction as soldier, and since the war has
excited healthy influence in behalf of
conservative government. JOHN WISE is
professional politician. FITZHUGH LEE
is an industrious farmer, who is identified
with the interests of his state. JOHN WISE
is blatant demagogue ana the advocate Of
reputation. FIrzHUGH LEE is a con-
sentative statesman and favors the honest
payment of the public debt. JOHN WISE
is an ordinary-looking individual, and be-
yond the fact that he is the son of his
father would not be singled out for dis
tinction. FITZHUGH LEE is a man
whose personal appearance attracts
attention everywhere and arouses
admiration. OF the thousands who
marched in procession through the streets
of Washington last Inauguration day,
| FITzHuFH LEE was the one man upon
whom all eyes rested. His bearing that day
was just as it is every day. Heisa man fitted

Pension Reforms.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, July S0.-Gen. Black Is
proceeding with great care in the selection
of the sixty special examiners yet to be APP
pointed. The list of eligibles is before him,
and he is thoroughly looking into the capa-
bilities and and antecedents of each man.
He is determined to appoint none
but perfectly capable and reliable men
men whom he can trust implicitly and
men whose appointments will be credible
to the bureau and to the administration. 1t
NAV be two OF three weeks before
he has his list made out.
When it is made out it will
consist of picked men in every place. So
far as possible, Gen. Black is having the lists
of pensioners scrutinized, and all doubtful
cases looked into by the special examiners,
with view to dropping all unworthy and
fraudulent pensioners. The work is
going on slowly, and it has not
yet gone far enough to afford means
of estimating the proportion of names
on the list that ought not to be there. But
before Gen. Black gets through with the
lists every undeserving pensioner will be
Weeded out

Cremated i'm Jail.

PORTLAND, Or, July 3O.-The county
Jail at Baker City, Or, was burned on
Wednesday morning. Five prisoners were
cremated alive, and a sixth was severely
scorched. The building was of wood, and
the fire spread very rapidly. The doors
were broken open, but the flames and
smoke drove the crowd repeatedly back.
With great difficulty Fred Winkleman, the
half-witted murderer of Allen Rivers. was
dragged from his cell, insensible and badly
burned. The five other prisoners in the
Jail were abandoned to their fate The
names of the victims are Louis Miller,
George Plumb, Samuel Brown, William
Lamb and John Cooley. Every appearance
indicates that the jail was set on fire by
Winkleman. doubtless with the intention
to make his escape during the excitement.

that Vice President Hendricks name should

AS An illustration of how far rivalry can
be carried between blooded Chicagoans when
on their mettle, we clip the following extract
from the Chicago News relating to a couple
of individuals of social distinction in the city
by the lake: 1.-The competition between the
Hon. JOHN TRoTTER and Col. WM- T. VAN
DEvEER for social distinction at Lake Mime
tonka continues. and there is no telling where
it will all end. One day Mr.. TRoTTER catches
more fish than Col. VASDEvEER, but the next
day Col. VANDEvEER beats Mr.. TROrrER at
crOquet; although Mr.. TRoTTER gets the
belle of Minnetonka for this waltz, Col. VAN
DEvEER is sure TO catch her for the next
quadrille; Mr.. TRoTTER may win the cham
pionship at lawn tennis one afternoon, but
Col. VANDEvEER challenges universal admira-
ton by scoring 800 at tenpins the next MORN
ing-so it is six to one and half-dozen TO
the other, or a standof pretty much all the
time between these distinguished Illinois
APoLLOs. There is to be grand ball at Min
netonka next Saturday night, and il seems
likely that the intense rivalry between these
gentlemen will come to an end on that occa-
sion. \ gold-headed cane f. to be awarded to
the hsndsomest man present, and, rs gold
headed cane cannot be divided between two
handsome men, il must surely go either TO
Mr.. TROTTER or TO Col. VASDEvEER. II is
pleasing TO hear that both of these distin-
guishcd and ambitious gentlemen are keenly
alive to the Importance of the approaching
contest. They are making every preparation
for the supreme struggle, and each signifies
his intention of abiding cheerfully the decis-
ion rendered by the fair sex on this occasion.
Mr.. TROTTER has ordered a full suit of seer
sucker from a fashionable Minneapolis tailor,
and has been measured for n pair OF patent
leather pumps by a ST. Paul shoemaker. Col.
VANDEvEER has telegraphcd to his friend
Shorty KAUP in Taylorville TO remit him i'm
mediately by express the regimentals he
(VANDEvEER) used 10 wear at dress parade
when he was commanding officer of that dis
tinguished military organization-that scourge
of striking miners-the Taylorville horse
marines. From these indications we judge
that the contest ut Minnetonka next Saturday
evening is to be the liveliest and most exciting
on record, and the result will be watched by
lllinoisans with growing interest"
