Gently had a peculiar case under treat

cramped to death by narrow ideas and
selfish prejudices. His whole organ

the mental tension from shutting off
the vital spark. By the skill of the
physicians and the prayers of friends

Mulieri, life was prolonged. 1t should

Recently the papers have been
filed with the so-called exhibitions
that Senator Riddleberger has been
making in the Senate. The grava.
men of his offence is that he has de.
manded the abolition of that hOary
faIce, the executive session, in order
that the acts and doings Of the Sen.
atOrs may be known by the people
whose servants they are supposed to
be. Especially has he insisted that
the extradition treaty with England,
which provided Tor the return of po-
litical offenders, and would thus have
surrendered every Irish patriot who
sought refuge here, should be con-
sidered in open session. In season
and out of season be fought for this,
and has the satisfaction of knowing
that his efforts virtually killed the
treaty by having its consideration
postponed until December next. For
days afterwards his desk was cover.
ed with rare aud beautiful flowers
sent by the Irish societies Of various
cities. But bis work has not ended
here. His scathing condemnation
of the secret session has had the ef-
feet of directing public attention to
the reasonableness of a demand for
its abolition, and to the fact that it
would be custom far more honOred
IN the breach than in the observ
ance. AS result, Senator Teller
has vigorously joined in the deDunci.
alton of the secret session, and it
will not be long before other careful
watchers of the public pulse discover
that popular sentiment, backed by
right is stronger than the venerable
traditions of the American House OF
Lords, ValleU Vir0iui1n.

been of weak intellect, and there is some record of congenital malfermations, includ- ing deficient development of the lower jaw. This natural mental weakness, however, was certainly aggravated by bad education and by the custom of his fathers court, which kept him from the wholesome society of youths of bis own age; yet his mental weak ness was not so great as to prevent him from feeling much irritation at the conduct of England, France and Germany towards his country. He succeeded to the throne in 1865 and did not die until roo; in 1868, when the Treaty of Aix-1a- Chapelle was signed, his death was hourly expected, but his aickly existence was protracted for thirty two years After his death in 17GO. the war of the.

The Democrats have much reason to be pleased with the support their candidate and their free trade ideas are receiving in England. The London Times exto1s MT. Cleveland as t'the free trade champion in America" The Telegraph believes that "the cause of free imports is more or less connected with the success of the Democratic party" The News says they 'sean hardly be expected to sympa- thize with a convention programme which clings to protection, and condemns the friend ly submission of the fisheries dispute to arbi- tration as pusillanimous." The Financial News speaks of General Harrison as "non- entity whose nomination makes the election of MT. Cleveland practically certain" The Birmingham Post bestows the usual comph- ments on MT. Cleveland and denounces the Republican platform as ian appeal to all kinds of sectional interests and the narroWest national prejudices." The Leeds Mercury to MT. Cleveland, who has justified his for mer choice. Republican free traders will vote for him or abstain from yoting.n The Manchester Guardian thoroughbred free trade journal. is fardent in panegyric on Mir. Cleveland, ' hoping as it does for his election and the doom of the American policy as it's result The Examiner is grieYed ito see g great party adopting the exploded doctrine of proteetion.n The Western Morning News says ''the man whom the Republicans have chosen will not win. Mir. Clevelsnd's cleo
 tidn is practically certain. He has made himself the propagator of free trade principies." The Glasgow Herald, speaking of the Republican platform, says: "There
 could be no satisfaction in looking forward
 to Republican administration with such g
 platform and Mir. Blaine at it's head. With
 President Cleveland, Great Britain knows where she is. With President Blaine, Britain
 could never have known where she might be. , The Scotsman says that apart from the ques
 tion that "the alterations proposed by ths Mills bill would greatly benefit the trade oi both countries, D the sympathies of the British 'tcannot fail to be on the side Of Presiden Cleveland" The Scottish Leader remarks that "General Harrison's chief recommends ton is his grandfather. There is DO enthusi
 asm for protection in America. MT. Cleve lands hold on popular confidence has growl during his tenure of office. General Harrison is not known. MT. Cleveland is known ant trusted"
 And so forth and so on. There has neve been time when the English took such al open and hearty interest in the election of President in this country. With Cleyelan' and free sstrade they would be happie than they are now and do more business But that is not very good reason why thoi who desire the prosperity of this oountr should vote for Cleveland.
