candidate. 1t cannot abide Governor Hill. who
is accused of manipulating the party machinery
against the great champion of free trade and of
the right of the British manufacturer TO control
the American markets. The Times trusts no
body but Mr. Cleveland. He was the British
candidate before. lie lis going to be the British
candidate again. He it Is, he alone. on whom
England relies to overturn that American policy
of protection which Mr.. Gladstone execrated as
infamous The London organ of the Democratic
, party in America more mildly describes it as a
raid upon the purses of American voters Its real
iniquity, in British eyes, is its raid upon the
purses of the British manufacturer. On the Re
publican side, Mr.. Blaine is believed to be the
choice of his party should his health permit, but
it is clear to this journal that he is not strong
though no credence is given TO "the dark rumors
inspired and circulated by political malevolence
Who inspired them l know not, but they were
circulated by the Dalzicl agency in New-York
through the very paper which now appraises them
justly.
The few remaining people in London have been
able to amuse themselves during the week by
reading if they chose, six eight columns daily
about hygiene and demography. This last must

give scientific account of the people of the earth
and their social relations. 1t does not seem TO
differ much from social science. Sope lustre was
lent TO this big congress by the address of the
Prince of Wales, whose carly passion for chem
istry now gives place to the passion for good
sanitary arrangements. 1t is motley company
of many nations which collected on Monday in
St Jamess Hall, the ma jority speaking and
understanding French better than English The
net result of much reading of the papers in ten
different sections does not vary from the general
net result of such congresses.
The troubles of the Salvation Army at East
bourne are not over they are. perhaps, but begin
ming The magistrates of that prosperous water
ing place stubbornly refuse to consent that It's
prosperity shall be ruined by Sunday brass bands
and all the rowdyism which follows In the wake
of the Salvation Army. The prosecutions proceed
Mr.. Justice Hawkins, who cannot be suspected of
sympathy with this kind of salvation, suggested
n compromise limiting TO the authorities of East
bourne that there legal difficulties in the way
of their laudabla desire to suppress this nuisance
but the authorities have elected TO fight Mean
time, Mr. General Booths cohorts have thought
it prudent TO take their wind instruments &c the
suburbs. Mr.. Justice Hawkins's doubts are suf-
fcient to show that the laws for preserving the
public peace in this country are in a confused
state, but the Salvation Army-the lads if not the
lasees-have votes, and slight is the prospect of
restraining their proceedings by fresh legislation.
Mr.. Lewis Norris who some think is a poet,
has written letter about that Vision of Saints
which some think poetical. Like Mr. Howells.
Mr.. Morris thinks i'll of the critics; or rather he
does not think of them at all, or says he does

man, like all such demonstrations, from what
ever quarter, a matter Of the most absolute in
difference" If it were he would not think it
necessary to say so. There is rumor that Mr..
Morris is training for the Laureateshp, which
must some day be vacant j see reason why
he should not be Laureate. Shadwell was
Laureate, and so was Nahum Tate.
Mr. Chauncey Depcw writes from Athens,
August 7, that he and Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt
are just leaving for Brindisi Mr. Depew is ex-
pected in London to-day. The journey of these
railway magnates through Turkey came near being
evcntful. The milroad," writes Mr. Depew,
has given new impetus to an old industry in
these countries in the opportunities it offers for
holding up trains and running passengers 10 the
mountains for ransom. They practised that on the
train next to ours but with poor results That
they should have neglected Mr.. Vanderbilt, his
sons, and myself, would seem indicate de
cline in the profession and rare obtuseness TO
opportunities"
The American orator was next heard Of in the
Acropos, standing in the footsteps of Demosthenes
and repeating passages from the Grafton on the
Crown. 1t is the only occasion on which Mr..
Depew has made speech without an audience.
But one letter from Mr.. Gladstone has appeared
during the week This was written to the editor
of new periodical intended TO plead the Jewish
cause in Russia Mr.. Gladstone advises him to
educate public opinion, especially the Cont
nent He has, however, been sharply reminded
by the Russian organ in England that this new
periodical is hostile to Russia. The editor begins
his campaign in behalf Of the Jews by declaring
that Russia is standing menace 10
civilization and progress, and summOning the world
| to wage a crusade against her 1t is very con-
siderable enterprise and one in which Mr.. Glad
stone is not likely to engage till after lie has
bestowed Home Rule Ireland. None the less
will his letter be regarded in Russia lending
| melton to the opinions OF the fiery journal in
which it appears, and he may yet be called upon to
renew TO Russia the public apology he once offered
| to Austria. u. W. ).
