Lifting Up His Voice.

Our esteemed contemporary, the SAe6leid
Enterprise, thus warns the Democratic party
against the Skulker:
"Democrats whom you are ready to nominate In
1897 membsr that during the past effort for Dsmoo
racy took interest The lifting Of his voice
would have done much"
The Memphis Appeai-Apalanchs tries to
break the force OF this warning:
Tut tuti CLEVELAND lifted mp bis voice In 1854 and
during his whole Admnstr alton. His light has never
been behind bushea" lStcl
There is no doubt that Mr.. CLEVELAND
has lifted up his voice whenever he thought
there was q good opportunity to mako q
sensation, tickle the Mugwumps, and thrust
himself forward. He lifted up his voice for
civil service examinations and dlsgusted his
party. He lifted up his voice for free trade,
and wrecked his party. He lifts up hisSolce

one-horse college ironically renominates
him. He has lifted up his voice since Nov.

contributed nothing, and which was won In
spite OF the efforts Of his closest political
friends and admirers. Moreover, there
have been times Of the gravest importance
and peril to tho Democracy when he has

word did Mr.. CLEVELAND speak. With no
assistance from him Governor HILL led
tho party to victory in the State, although
he could not pull through. and nobody
could have pulled through, the man who
thought more OF the Mugwumps than Of tho
party he had betrayed.
This fall, again. the voice Of Mr.. CLEvR-
LAND and every other man who had pre-
tended to have any Democracy In him. should
have been lifted up for the Democratic
municipal candidates and against the oom-
bination OF Republicans. Mugwumps, and
renegade Democrats that opposed them.

all in the South. which had once been most
friendly to Mr.. CLEvELAND's pretensions,

Democratic party was to be dislodged from

LANDS voice was not lifted up. His init

his silence was to throw such influence as he

The Social Position OF Hangmen.

The gentleman who offlciated as hangman
at the recent taking off OF BIRCHALL has re-
signed as member OF the Toronto Boat
Club. The prominence he derived from his
latest achievement in professional capac-
ity was distasteful to his fellow members,
and to spare their sensibilities he left the
club. Hangmen have reason to lament that,
as a rule they are not now held in the
esteem and honor which were theirs In the
good old times, though In some parts of the
world it Is still u high distinction to be the
public executioner.
Only sixty or seventy years ago. in those
parts OF Germany where criminals suffered
the capital penalty by a sword stroke at tho
hands OF the cxecutioner. that functionary
was still regarded as holding most honor
able position. In WALTER ScoTT's novel,

had beheaded nine mobiles, besides many
minor offenders, enjoyed such reputation
and credit in his profession that he at last
became noble himself. thereby augment
Ing the titled ranks which no had helped so
much to deplete.
Early in this century tho officials OF Glas-
gov had occasion to advertise for hang
man to assume the duties OF tho late
lamented gentleman who had long held tho
place. They said In their advertisement.
that no applications would be considered
except those OF very respectable persons.
The worthy Sootchmen did not intend that
any individual Of bad character should have
an opportunity to bring discredit upon the
high function. 1t is said that Mr.. BERRY,
the famous hangman of England, has very
exalted opinion of his office, and would
hardly accept any other post under the
Government. He can, at least. point with
pride to his professional brethren in some
OF the Oriental countries. where the public
executioner is a high State official. whose
