THE REPORT that Queen Victoria pro-
poses to ablicatc arouses almost as mucl
interest in America as it has done II.
Great Britain. She has rcigncd now
nearly 50 years, and during that long
period there has been such unintcrruptc,
amity between the people of the two
countries as became those who derived
their institutions from the same sources
spoke the same language and woishipped
God under the same crccds; therefore ",
Americans hardly viewed the Queen as al
alien monarch. and admired her with Il
good deal of the loyalty which charac.

Certainly il we did not love hei :. i,'seS

yirtuous woman who surrounded hci
throne with halo OF virtue to which i,

her personality no longer attracts its in.

it would lose under the growing forces ol

BY tie vices of the class usually regarded
as the chief strength Of royalty. At thu
age OF "a the Queen can look back upon
a reign unstained by the effects OF inius

prey upon royal conscience, and mad,

enough to know and feel the hollowncs'
Of those. and TO sigh for the tranqui
pleasures Of private station. Yet whci
the time comes for the exchange We qurs

OUR DUMB ANIMALS.

Human nature plumes itself upon doing
itself honor when it stoops to the consid-
Grafton of the animal world around it
the domestic animals-the property, the
servants, the companions OF man. 1t is
a great coudescension, this STOPPING to
the care Of those so much beneath man in
the scale of creation. Is not man com
missioncd with absolute authority over
the animals, to kill and eat, to subduc
and enslave. and with the greater power,
is there not included the right to vex and
torture. to punish and neglect, and t.
exert all the liberties OF unrestraincd and
irresponsible will? So civilized man con-
strues his rights of dominion, and law
and custom and Indifferent public senti
ment permits. Yet there is protest in th'
breast OF the humane, an appeal for
mercy. which at length is taking shap.
in earnest demand for the interrr' alton
OF the law.
Every man claims the right to do what
he will with his own, to use to his owl
construction OF pleasure that which h,
has purchased with his own money, Sc
cured by his own labor, trained by hi,
own skill; and there is nothing So con
genial to human nature as that absolut,
exercise of power over the weak and tn,
Inferior which comes with the indisputa
bile right OF possession. But this very alb
solute dominion brings with il a rcspon-
'ibility which the instructive laws of hui
manity impose. That which is helpless
makes an appeal which. il yoicelcss, Is
none the less eloquent and touching. !
it do not reach the careless. the cruel OF
the avaricious through the processes OF
mercy. of duty. or of interest, attention
must be forced through the operation oi
law. The great heart of humanity is not
altogether hardened; the claim OF tn,
dumb brute is not altogether unheard,
and the time has come when the tide oi
cruelty is To be stcmmcd by the strong
hand of the law. 1t is a reproach t.
Christians that they are following a,
such far distance the steps of the gentl,
neat hen Brahmin. But the Brahmin car
ne safely initiated when it is remembered
that mercy is a fundamental doctrine il
the Christians creed.

ing the last campaig n--attacks without
modicum of truth as basis,-attacks
wilful, malicious, and venomous. II
has for years, taking counsel of the
malice of its owner, made war on Vest,
the greatest man of Missouri since
Benton, presumably because Vest is a
man of too great soul to fawn upon
Pulitzer, the man whose departure from
the State caused sigh of relief to go
DIP from every decent man in the State.
Its war upon the Grain Inspector
and the the board of railroad and
warehouse commissioners is of too re-
cent date to need repetition.
In fact, as a rule-wth just enough
exceptions to prove 1.-THE men whom
the Democrats of Missouri delight to
honor, the POst-Dispatch seeks to de-
grade.
During the "dog days" of summer
the spread-headed adder is blind, and
at every cracking twig, and rustling
Of leaves stirred by the summer wind,
it rears its crest, distends its hideous
jaws and launches at tie sound But
blindness makes it impotent, though
not the less abhorrent. So it is with
the PostDispatch.
Its political jaundice has robbed it of
influence; its malice, ofrespect; its sem
satlonalism, of confidence in it's utteran-
ces; and It's notorious lack of all princi-
pie, of all weight, politically, morally,
or otherwise.

PulltZer'S St. Louis Sheet.

The Post-Dispatch calls on us to
substantate our charge that it prints
"more and meaner venom against
prominent Democrats than Republi-
can papers. and that it prefers "slan-
dering Democrats" to telling the truth.
This is easily done, and without the
use of that papers files, Offered by way
of bluff and every reader of that paper
will admit the truth of this article.
Not content with publishing letters
containing slanderous charges against
him, the editor of the Post Dispatch
murdered Col. A. w. Slayback, as
noble man, and as true a Democrat
as lived in Missouri.
The Post Dispatch for four long
years followed the lead of the New
York World in covertly warning upon
Cleveland and his administration; and
we ask to lie pointed to one utterance
of that sheet unequivacally approving
the course of the Cleveland administra-
ton during its first three years of of
flee.
1t is a fact that the Post. Dispatch
has even been louder in it's charges of
Fraud and Doodle against Democratic
city candidates and officials than even
the Globe Democrat.
1t is fact that the Post Dispatch
has ever warred upon and slsndered
d. r. Francis. 1t charged that he was
elected mayor by fraud and bribery,
and assaulted him because he stoo up
on his legal rights as declared by the
courts.
1t is fact that the st-Dispatch,
during Francis candidacy for the
Gubernatorial nomination carried on a
campaign of libellous charges against
him. and afterwards covertly charged
that the people of the whole State
had been bribeI and corrupted into
supporting him.
1t is fact, judging from its utter
ances, that its management would have
been pleased had the whole state ticket
been defeated in 1855, simply becaus the
people preferred Francis to,thatpaper
protege-the author of the Slayback
letter. 1t is fact that in the columns
OF that paper there were attacks made
upon n. l.. Clardy, Democratic candi-
date for Congress from this district dur

Monopoly and Senator Vest.

Those reading between the lines, and
gifted with ordinary capacity to judge
the times can see the true animus and
the real lnstigators of the war now be-
ing waged upon George Vest in Mis-
souri,.
His uncompromising opposition to
the infamy of taxing the masses fol
for the benefit of the classes, has at
tracted the enmity Of the plutocrats,
whose millions will be used for his de-
feat for reelection, and the substitution
of weaker and more venial man.
The onslaught he has made and is
making in the interest of the people
upon the Dressed Meat Trust, whose
fiat governs both the price of the beef
upon the plains of Texas, and of the
meat in the market stalls of Boston
enmity of the Big Four, and their
money will be used to defeat him, as
it is to ruin the butcher who refuses to
buy of them and be governed by their
prices.
The giant corporations of Missouri
oppose him because in him is recog-
nzed man of the people whose
rights he will not subserve to the IN
terests of the money power.
The broken down politician will OPP
pose him on account of envy of the
great intellect which has distanced
him in the race for political preferment.
And those of the press which are pur-
chasable. in unison, at the behest of
every corrupt element, are raising, and
will raise, every false charge by which
they hope to drag him down from the
high place in the peoples affections
which he deservedly occupies.
He that is plutocrat; he that is a
corporationist; he that is corrupt; he
that disbelieVes in the masses and be-
lieves in the classes; he that is little
and disappointed politician-these and
more-all that can be influenced by
them-will oppose Vests reelection.
1t behooves the people whose inter-
ests he has ever served, and whose
rights he has ever advocated. and in
doing which he has raised up these en-
emies, to stamp with their dlsapproval
this opposition to his reelection.

Bro. Elf. of the Bonnie Terre. Reg
ister, is a good editor, notwithstanding
he is off-'way off-politically. He
publishes bright, newsy paper, and
has the rare faculty of quarreling with
his esteemed contemporary" in such
way as to make it instructive and
entertaining to the general reader.

ton, as an example:

could find where another grammatical error
could be crowded in, but it seems crowded
already. Grimmarian is fair sample of the
grim" photography which the Smerit igno
ramuses habitually infict upon the patient
and long suffering public. But "never an
swers nothing" is even more eXcreable, al
though, two negatives being equal to an af-
firmatiye, it really means that we do answer
something. But we come as near answering
