Political Changes.

The newspapers are naming good many
voters who are reported to have deserted
one party for another, and as the campaign
progresses such instances will multiply.
Some of the reports are authentic, others
are not. AS an example of the unauthentic,
Philadelphia republican newspaper
announced with flourish of
trumpets some days ago that a
democrat of considerable influence in Penn
sylvania had determined to vote for Har-
rison and Morton. The regulation editorial
comment accompanied the announcement
1t was not as matter of impulse, said
the newspaper, but of deliberate reflection
that the gentleman had come to this patri-
otto conclusion; he had heretofore been firm
democrat, but he could no longer affiliate
with party which sought to strike the
death blow of American industries. This
sounded very nicely but its effect was
broken by the subsequent statement of the
gentleman that his vote and influence
would be given to Cleveland and Thurman
and that he was not believer in the sort
of protection which the republican party
proposed-the sort which protects mo-
nopoly.
No doubt there will be some deserters
from each side in this campaign. In several
of the western states and in California, the
democrats have prospect of making con-
siderable gains. 1t is also to their ad-
vantage that most of the Irish voters who
went over to Mr.. Blaine in 1884 will vote
for Mr. Cleveland next fall, and that n
larger labor vote will be cast for the demo
cratic ticket than was the case four years
ago. Then the usual benefits from the &C
cession of republicans to the prohibition
banner will accrue to them.
Ii is somewhat more difficult to under
stand where and how the republicans expect
to make gains, and it is quite evident that
they cannot succeed unless they do better
than they did in 1884. They pretend to
believe that a great many followers of Mr.
Randall will vote with them, but in this
they are more than likely to be disappointed
They will again lose the votes OF the indie
pendent republicans who deserted Mr.
Blaine, and they can hardly expect that by
twisting the British lions tail they will
receive more Irish votes than in 1884 OF
course they will make a tremendous effort
to regain control of the government, but
the prospect that they will do so does MOI
brighten

Some days ago the MORNING NEWS called
the attention of the bloody shirt disciples to
the fact that good deal of intimidation of
colored voters in the south had been prac-
ticed by their own race "A Northern
Man." who has lived eight years in the
south, gives his testimony as follows in a
letter to the New York Herald: "a colored
voter desires to vote for democrat, and as
soon as his intention is known he is set upon
by number of his own race, who taunt
him with voting against his own color"
and set his wife and children against him.
in some cases even threatening his life
The minister of his church will publicly
abuse him and tell him that he will have no
hope G heaven. All this because he desires
to exercise his constitutional right of select
ing his own candidate. But if he has cour-
age enough to succeed in getting the ticket
of his choice deposited in the ballot box, he
is then ostracised completely by the peace
full colored people, while the roughs throw
stones through his windows, and, in short
make his life as miserable as possible :"
win the bloody shirt disciples be good
enough to explain why they tolerated this
manner of republican bulldozing2

The tramps around Chicago seem to have
very hearty appetites. One Of them went
into restaurant, the other night, and
ordered "a square meal" The waiter at
tended to his wants until he had appeased
his hunger. and this is what he is said to
have devoured: A plate of mutton chops,
one of pork chops. two round fsteaks,
one sirloin steak, four plates of bread, three
orders of fried eggs on toast, corned beef
and cabbage, a dish Of liver and bacon, ten
ears Of corn, four pieces Of pie,
three cups of coffee, and glass of milk.
When he had RECALLED himself with the re-
past, he attempted to get out of the res
taurant without paying, but was detained,
and the next morning police justice fined
him s25, which was about the extent of his
bill at the restaurant.

If it is true, as stated in some of the
newspapers, that Gen. James A. Walker, of
Virginia, has announced his intention of
voting for Harrison and Morton, there will
be an immediate and complete change of
heart on the part OF republican organs with
regard to him. Newspapers which referred
TO him as "ku-klux," traitor etc, while
he was a democrat will now call him a
patriot. Their treatment of a man de-
ponds wholly upon the question whether he
is a republican or not.

Then and Now.

When John Most, who has gained some
notoriety throughout the country as an
anarchist, used to harangue his sympa-
thizers in New York, his appearance was
| in keeping with that of his audience. His
clothing hung loosely upon him, his hair
was unkempt, his beard was tangled, and
his linen, perhaps, was besmeared with to-
| bacco juice. AS he screamed his invectives
| against the constitution and the flag. his
bloodshot eyes glared wildly, and the fists
which he clinched to emphasize his state
ments, seemed to be unacquainted with
soap, while the shoes were innocent of polish.
But change has come over Herr Most
| lately. When he appeared before Ford's
immigration commission the other day, to
give testimony with regard to the immigra-
ton of anarchists, he was neatly dressed in
black, his hair was cropped and his beard
| trimmed. No one would have taken him
| for the fiery anarchist who used to make
incendiary speeches to molly crowds. 1t is
even said of him that at tho close of his
| testimony he refused to receive the usual
witness fee, saying he did not care for it. "
Whatever the cause of this change is. it
is to Most's advantage. Among other
| things, he said there were about 1900, 900
sympathizers with anarchy in this country,
and that the number has increased in the
last few years, owing to the dissemination
OF anarchistic literature. Most is himself
tie publisher and editor of an anarchistic
sheet. His followers, he said, do not now
hold secret meetings, even in Chicago, be-
cause there is no necessity for doing so. He
did not think a dozen anarchists had immi-
grated to this country in the last twelve
months. According to Mosts statements,
the anarchists are conducting themselves in
a very peaceable manner. but the recent de-
velopments in Chicago are rather against
such a conclusion.

Opium's Infant Victim.

CnutSc 1llttc.
Since the introduction of opium into
China millions and tens of millions have
given themselves up to its use, its victims
being found in sll the ranks and condi-
tons of life, and even children. But a
case of an infant becoming a victim to its
psrnicious influence has Just come to our
knowledge. Ameu aud his wife had been
in the habit of taking opium for years,
and one of their chief delights was in in
dulging themselves over the pipe in each
othsr's company, each taking alternate
whiffs. One day the woman gave birth to
q boy, and all the household was in an &C.
static state of joyfulness. But before
long the baby began to show signs OF
illness, and, although physician was
sent for, they could not discover the cause
of it's symptoms. Every effort was made
to save the child, bat no only grew worse
aud worse, until his parents gave him up
for Loaf. In despair they took their pipe
to salacs themselves, and behold as they
pulled at the pipe the smoke was waited
70 the child's nostrils, and giving q sneeze
he instantly revived, and began tn cry.
Upon inhsling more of the smoke he
changed his crying into laughing, and be-
came exceedingly lively. After that he
was all right as long as he inhaled the
smoke st regular periods Of the day. Oue
day, however, his parests neglected to give
him the accustomed dose of smoke, and
before they were aware he died.

''Years ago." says Toole, when / was
on a tour with Dot and other attractive
plays, Irving playing John Peerybingle
and Brough Tsckleton, we were considera-
bly, upset one evening after the second act
of Dot with the announcement that the
lady who played Bertha, the blind
girl, had been taken suddenly i'll and
could not finish the piece. She lay
in her dressing-room in dead faint,
and, although at the outset Of her illness
she had spoken and said she could not go
on again, nothing now had any effect upon
her. We sent for q doctor, and in the
meantime set about trying to fill her
place. The part ought to have been under
studied, but it wss not. There vas lady
in the company who was not playing that
night; she was sent for. / asked her to 90
on for Bertha, and said would give her
the words as we went along. In the first
place she said nothing could induce her to
do anything for the lady who was i'll; but
there was nothing in the world she would
not do for me.
.'At the same time she would consent to
do nothing bat read the part. / pointed
ont to her how absurd it would be for a
blind girl to read q part. Irving, In q
Quiet way, said it would certainly be 8
novelty. However, she was obdursts, and
Irving made the announcement to the
audience that the lady who had
PLAYED the blind girl had been taken
suddenly i'll, and under the cir
cumstancss Miss So-snd.So had kindly
consented to read the part. The audience
spplsuded and seemed quite satisfied. Irv-
ing came from the front Of the curtain re-
marking that it was, to use q classic
phrase, q rum co. but it was much
RUNNER 20 than any Of us foresaw.
''Under treatment the fsinting lady came
round, and the moment she learned that
her rival was going on in her place, she
leaped to her feet and emphatically said;

and, of course, knew nothing about this,
but when the time arrived for the pathetic
entrance of the girl to myself and Dot, i
heard quite disturbance at the wing; the
audience head it too.
"'You shall not 60 on = 4 must You
shall not, say = But have been an

the baggage began to speak, I believe she
winked as the house much rs to say,
They don't get over me; and the play
went on. ] need not say the spirit and

The Malls OF Boston Common.

h.t, +. Il, HCHt W. nttt
More and more was it the habit of peo-
pie TO walk in the Mall as the afternoon
closed in on pleasant day. The name
Mall was borrowed from the English Mall
in London. 1t means q place where you
can use your mallet, for in London origi-
nally the Mall was the place for playing
whatever game was the crcquet or
tennis of the day. This Mall
before the end of the century was
called the Great Mall. This was to dis
tinguish 1t from the Little Mall by the
side of the burial ground. This also was
planted with English elms about the year
1864, by Adnio Paddock. These trees
were, therefore, called "Paddock's Row"
They were cut down not many years ago,
as they were in the way of travellers. But
as lately as 1Si5 talked with Mr.. Johna'
thon Darby Robbins, who remembered
being told, when be was a schoolboy, with
sill the rest of the class, that they would
be flogged il the Paddock elms were broken
down.
And the old English elms stands in the
Great Mall to show to children and grown
people what an English elm is 1t is in
deed, pathetic to see how tenderly the old
people remembered Epglsnd in their gard
ening and planting before the Revolution
The American elm, which is now the glory
OF the Charles street Mall and OF
the Beacon street Mall, was a.
beautiful a hundred years ago as it il
now. The great French botanist, Michaux
called it the monarch of the vegetable
world" and most of us would agree with
him. There was not meadow or river
within q hundred miles Of Boston, from
which there could not have been brought
enough American elms to plant the whole
common. But those good people did moi
want those American Films. They wanted
an English mall and the elm to shade it.
