Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa-
rhuse,ts, is, we believe, more literary
than political He is very strong
advocate af the denomination OF "r.
Blaine for the Presidency, and like
all politicians who are more literary
than political, he permits his feel
ings to oulrun his judgment. He has
had the folly to utter the foolish
opinion, that "Mr. Blaine's candidacy
will inspire greater enthusiasm than
that of any other Republican," The
Nation prints the following table Of
figures, to illustrate Mr.. Blaine's pop
ularity in the State of Ma sachusetts,
showing that Mr.. Blaine is not the
representative of the increasing
strength Of the Republican party.
After six successful elections, giving
the party twen,y-four years OF su-
premacy in the nation, Blaine
lei it to defeat. Ii renominated, he
will again lead it to a rout more morti
flying than the last. and from which it
will take the Republican party gen
Grafton to recover. Let our readers
ponder over the figures in Massa
chusetts, and remember that Massa-
chusetts is representative State and
its citizens possess an intelligence and
patriotism equal to any State in the
Union.

And how were heathen slaves treat
ed? The manning of slave, smiting
out his tooth, ETC., was regarded NOT
only as an injury done by the owner
to himself or to his property, but the
| slare WasJree. The killing OF slave was
punished with death. The Israelites
were never large Shareholders. While q
small Greek province like Attica con-
tained 100000 slaves, Corinth
460 900, and the Island Egina no
less than 10000 slaves, and many a
Roman citizen during the reign of the
Emperors was the owner Of 10000 or
1000 81 VS.. Ws are informed that
among the Jewish exiles, who have
returned from Babylon and Palestine,
there were only 1887 slaves all told.
But the best criterion of the spirit
of Judaism is the law Of Moses con-
cerning the runaway slave. The
beauti ul precept, Thou shalt not de-
liver unto his master the slave that is
escaped from him unto thee he shall
dwell in one of thy cities which he
may choose. Do not deceive him"
This law removes the very
sting of slavery. Just think OF it.
More than 5000 years ago a question
was settled by the Mosaic legislation
which marked its bloody traces upon
a whole continent, deva tated the
"Sunny So thu and disturbed the
peace and prosperity Of our great Re-
public. Palestine was virtually an
asylum for the fugitive slaves of
all nations. The T ,lmudical law goes
even so far as to declare that a slave
who had been sold by Jew to a for
eign master, heathen or Jewish, and
who had effected his escape and found
his way to Palestine, could not be re-,
turned to his master from whom he
had run away.

"Slaves" says: The life of the slave

about President Cleveland, by Sena-
tor ingalls,, Of Kansas:
WASHINGTON, January 25, 1886.
DEAR SIR--I was glad to receive
yours OF 10Th. We are still waiting
for the President, who moves with
great deliberation, listens to every
body and does as he pleases. His
priAcipal nominations SO far have
surprised Democrats as much as Re-
publicans, but they are generally
strong men whose selections will be
approved by the conservative forces
OF the country. He has no imagina-
ton or sentiment, and his policy will
not be sensational or startling, but if
he keeps on as he has begun, his ad-
ministration will grow in public favor.
He is self-possessed and confident,
and exhibits no perturbation of mind.
Good humor prevails throughout,
though there is much grumbing
Democrats at the delay in turn
ing the rascals out;" but if Cleveland
can stand the racket for the next
twelve months, he will bring his
party to its knees and become strong
leader. He has great opportunity,
and evidently intends to improve it.
Yours,
j. j. INGALLS,.

SLAVERY.

Second Lecture by Rabbi Schrei.
ber Oh Friday.
After having reached the conclusion
that the legislation Lycurgus concern
ing foreigners and strangers was cruel,
inhuman and heartless in comparison
with the laws of Moses, on this sub
ject, let us proceed tonight to the
second important point at issue, in
which the two legislations vastly differ
namely, slavery.
The nations of antiquity, without
exception, could hardly believe them
selves capable Of existence unless
slavery was established as an in
alienable right. A free citizen should
do no work--to be engaged .iu manual
labor would have been considered ty
him as a disgrace. Slaves must do
it. The slave was the proper
ty of his master sort OF
merchandise, q chattel completely
subject to the will and whim Of his
master. The very name given to him
by even such civilized nations as the
Greeks and Romans sufficiently
characterizes his low position. The
Greek word doulos, literally 'fettered,'"
and the Latin mancipiem that
is Captured or purchased thing"
are expressions for "slave." Follow
ing are some of the Roman laws with
regard to slaves. The slave is only
the means for the purpose of his mas
ter, and therefore utterly incapable of
enjoying certain rights, not only ac-
cording to the "civil right jus
ciuik), but also with respect
to the right Of human
being 0uris gentiuml, or, az the legal
term reads: The slave is not con-
sidered a person (nullum caput habeD,
but a thing, piece of property, like
the animal, at the arbitrary disposal
of his possessor. Hence his master
had full power over his life and death.
He could sell, trade, hire or give
him away, yea, he had the right to
injure, to wound or use him for
unchaste purposes. The great Ger
man authority on Roman law, Pro-
fessor Holtzmann, said amonk others:
"All human rights were grossly vic.
lated by the Romans, as far as the
slaves were concerned, with tre
mendous consistency that found
hardly its equal anywhere in
antiquity. Every mistake of
a slave, no matter how t'ifling, was
punished with cruel lashes of the
whip Fugitive slaves, for whose
prosecution Il regular police force was
instituted, were punished by marks
burnt in their faces. They were
tortured during judicial inquisitions,
and their penalties Of death were
of the most heartrending, cruel
and painful form. Their legs

Columbia. died in 1881, totally insol-
vent but leaving $4,000 in life insur-
ance polices. These policies We're by
their terms payable either to the wi

The administrators and creditors of
Hume's estate sought ~ free the ap.

and that consequently the proceeds Of
the policies should inure to the ben

The Supreme Court holds that the

deduction whatever on account Ofall
