EDITORIAL.

1t would be amusing if it were not
provoking to see the nonsense which
goes the rounds of the British papers
regarding the customs and people here
in America. One wonders if Ameri-
cans are as poorly informed as regards
the mother country. The trouble is
that the thick-headed Tories are de-
termined to see nothing but evil re-
suits from democracy, and they write,
not what they see. but what they inn
agine. A recent copy of the 'Times
of India" has long article about the
terrible results of democracy as shown
by the corrupt condition Of American
morals. It's first accusation is,that all
Judges are elected by the people and
consequently the provisions of the con-
stitution cannot be carried out. In the
second place, at every election clean
sweep of all the officers is made and
others appointed without any regard to
their fitness. 1t is true that we have
no, vet reached the millennium as re-
cards civil service reform, but state
mont like the above is too sweeping.
Again, the gigantic frauds IN the ofllce
of the treasurer of the state OF Penn
sylvsnia are typical of what is to be
found in ''every office in every FEEDER
al. state, municipal, county, town or
v;llaoe department. Suppose we
were to take the crimes OF certain OIL
GERS in the British army, and clergy
mon as types of the whole army, navy
and church. But the Times falls INTO
: snasm of horror when it contemPlates
tbe appalling degradation, socially and
morally. into which the American ma
.;on has fallen. The shocking immor-
al;tv Of men and women, boys and
Girls. Is terrible to contemplate. Near
Il all Americans are gross atheists and
-,.,or;al;sts. The whole nation, IN
stead Of rising by its free instiutions'is
sinking lower into a gulf of moral m
fanny. Has the Times forgotten 'ne
.,,.oIa,;ons Of the Pail Mall Gazette
az years ago? Or recent club scan

Calamity Howling "Doesn,t Go. ].

Jerry Simpson is downcast. The corn
and wheat crops in Kansas are the best
in the history of the state, and the farm
ers are so full of business that they have
not time to listen to a calamity speech.
If Jerry could only have had drought
in his district, with heavy crop of
mortgages and three or four labor strikes
and riots to set it off, what a joy it
would have been for Jerry Blooming

that in previous campaigns the Demo

almost exclusively on the tariff issue.

To GUST THE GOVERNMENT.

Gladstone TO Secure Assurance of n
"No Con1denceo Movement - Not
Discouraged by n slight Majority.
LONDON, July 21.-Mr. Gladstone is
communicating with the leaders of the
anti Parnellite party in an endeavor to OBJ
tain an absolute assurance that the party
will support him with its whole vote in an
attack on the government by ''no conf
dence" movement. The negotiations are
likely to be prolonged until the matter is
submitted to a plenary meeting of the
party after parliament assemblies. In re-
turn for q pledge of an unbroken vote a
section of the anti Parnellites want writ
ten assurance from Mr.. Gladstone as to the
time of the introduction of the home rule
bill with some notifications satisfactory to
Irish ideas.
Although Mr.. Gladstone knows that a
fiasco is certain without the full Irish vote
he has no symptoms of a faint heart.
Speaking to a little group at Kirkmichael
yesterday while driving from Bream-
or to Pitlochry he said: do not be dis
couraged because our nominal majority In
the house of commons Is not very large. II
will comfort you to know that have So!
In twenty-five parliaments, aud In five
have seen liberal governments in Office do
ing great deal Of work for the country
with not such a majority as has how been
| returned"
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
| the speech, says there is no sign here that
Mr.. Gladstone intends to postpone his
home rule measure or to do anything else
cowardly or discreditsble. On the contra
~, he looks forward with zest to the in
teresting experiment of governing with q
small majority. The st. James Gazette
says these five liberal governments Mr.
Gladstone referred to had real majority
Though 1t was small, it could always bs
reckoned on. Mr.. Gladstone cannot rely
| on faction votes.

Michigan Republicans Hold Their
State Convention.
SAGINAW, Mich, July 21.-The republi-
can state convention met at 10 o'clock this
morning. The temporary organization was
made permanent. The following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we express our sincere
sympathy with the eminent republican and
statesman, James G. Blaine, in the bereave-
ment he has recently suffered in the loss
of his son, and express wish that his life
in the future may be as full of honor and
usefulness as in the past"
On the first ballot John T. Rich was
nominated for governor, after which re-
cess was taken.
The platform adopted endorses the NOM
inees of the national republican conven-
ton at Minneapolis and the platform of
principles laid down there, and pledges
the people that if the republican party
has control of the next legislature business
will be done with fidelity and promptness.
Condemns the present state democratic ad-
ministration for it's subserviency to the
actions of political demagogues who have
l
| igan the nefarious miner law, a measure
| which every fair minded citizen condemns,
| and which democratic leaders favor only in
| q state where there is a republican maj ority.
| 1t arraigns the democratic party for its
brazen theft of the senate of this state dur
ing its last session lby unlawfully and:cor.
ruptly seating two usurpers in that body
by the action of less than a constitutional
quorum thereof, thus making 1t possible
to enact the infamous miner law, the I'M.
scrupulous gerrymsnder of congressional
senatorial and representative districts, and
much other legislation which is q disgrace
to any civilized people.
| 1t commends the republican party to al
voters a. party worthy of their support
and deepest devotion. Its efforts ar,
evidenced by and have resulted in {
united country, intelligent, happy homes
protection to American industries and {
policy of reciprocity and increased bust
It pledges that in the future as in tn
past no public duty shall DO left upper

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS,

The House Votes TO Enforce Trade
| on the General Deficiency Bill In the
| Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The house has
passed the bill to enforce reciprocal COM
mercial relations between the United States
and Canada.
Mr.. Blount Of Georgia, from the commit
tee on foreign affairs, called up the bill to
tween the United States and Canada. he
said that the president had in two mes
sages called the attention of congress to
the fact that Notwithstanding treaty rights
American citizens were Disseminated
against In the matter of transportation
through the Welland, st. Lawrence and
other canals. A rebate was accorded to
Canadian vessels which was not accorded
to American vessels. The bill was designed
to require that this discrimination should
be abolished and that the treaty rights of
American citi zens should be preserved.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The conference report on the deficiency
bill was presented and agreed to. Mr..
Hale, who presented the report, made an
explanation. All points of disagreement
between the two houses, he said, had been
reconciled except as to FIVE points. One
OF these was the provision as to payment
of the Pacific Railroad company for gov
eminent transportation. The next item
was that in respect to salary of the new as
sistant general for the Indian depreciation
branch of the department of Justice. The
next was as to the allowance for widows
of deceased members of the houses of rep
resentatives- There was no conflict over
that item; but the house conferees had
not been ready to state the adjustment
which they desired. The other two items
were provisions for the French spoliation
claim and the Indian depreciation claims.
A further conference was asked as to the |
disputed items.

NEWPORT, R. l., July 21.-On represen-
tations by the town council of Block Island
with that of physicians and prominent cit
liens that the cases of smallpox there had
been isolated and the hotel where they
originated quarantined, the embargo
against the landing of passengers here has
been raised. The island, as was to have
been expected, is experiencing a regular
exodus of summer visitors. Their depart
ure began on Tuesday last, when the pres
ence of the disease first began to be known.
Yesterday and to-day there has been a
constant hegria of strangers and
guests from the island, going by the
way of Newport, Watch Hill and New
London and in every way by which it lie
possible to leave. The exodus is largely
by other routes than through Newport.
In some hotels there are hardly any guests
remaining and it is believed that by Satur-
day the hotels of this popular resort will
be practically deserted. The first case
developed early in July, but was not dag
nosed as smallpox until some time after.
None of the half dozen cases have been or
are serious, and the earlier victims are
well on the road to recovery. All the
patients have been removed to q remote
part of the island and are under constant
and strict quarantine and the danger of
further spread of the disease is reduced to
a minimum.
