gold" All this, / suppose, applies to all coun-
tries, to America as well as 10 England, TO each
and every one whose name is borne on your long
catalogue of American millionaires Whether the
following passage on the aristocracy does. is not
so clear
THE aristOcracy are dying out because of their
luxury sallow-skinned. idiotic numbskuls: their
daughters too weak to walk; their sons accom-
pshed in every vice.
1t almost sounds as if Mr.. Tiett had read
Lady Jeune's article London society The
English brewer is, in Mr. Tillett's opinion, no
better than murderer; nay, not so good. lie
kills thousand people, it is not said how. and
is made Lord, and maids-in-waitinp are given
him in marriage, as many as he wants apparently.
Dcemng was not half such a tyrant or desper-
ado" The Deeming analogy is pursued lie was
to Mr. Tillett only clumsy. laundering blether-
ing idiot" This is why he is TO be hanged ::
but the men who were fine and clever and killed
a hundred thousand by damnable stuff are made
Lords"
There seems to be certain monotony in this
refrain upon the brewers. but we must take the
social reformer and trades union leader as we
find him. You may take also. if you like, his
assurance that the present movement among the
democracy is a religious movement 1t will not
do 10 dismiss Mr. Tillett as Of no consequence
He is veritable leader among this religious
democracy leader among the London Pro-
gressivcs, a man of authority in the London
County Council. lie is rapidly becoming a kind
of boss to the British workingman, and his opinions
and gifts for wise leadership and counsel are such
as we sec.
Mr.. Tilett and Lord Roscbery are, as it were,
clasping hands across gulf. the depth of which
no man can measure. 1t is an interesting spec
tacle interesting to the ooker-on. and ominous of
much TO the Nation, which seems half ready TO
confde its dcstinies to their keeping, But | ask
again, what is there in these doctrines Of disturb
ancc, these menaces to social order. this murmur
of confscaton. which entities the authors of them
to the political Sympathics of the American people

Hon. Waller X. Staples recently published

cited great many reasons why Cleveland

But Judge Staples was of O very different way

in that year. during the Fiiz. Lee campaign.
he made aD address in Charlottesville in
which he lauded the then President TO the
skies for ms just and friendly treatment of
this section. Here are extracts from
report of that speech. as published in the
Charlottesville Jehersonian, September z,
1885:
Judge Staples began his address
which was mastery M convincing argument
and smooth in Its delivery. by saying that
we are Democrats because that party Is tic
only one under which THIS state can obtain
its rights as a free and equal part IN the
Union. Governor Cameron. he said. had

ro,tted itisnot a. oil strange that he should be
CHARGED with the Whitechapel murders. j,
Sauna almost irupossibe that there could be
two villains in the world who couid % guHty
of the two sets of crimes crimes which are
unprecedented in the deyllshhess Vi sne''
coo.ne.s Of perpetration and the shrewaness
an, boldness with which they were p'anheu'
There seems 10 be no physical reason why
Deeming could not have committeu '"o muir

The manner Of Deeming in disiguring and

striking difference. however. The crimes Of
Deeming appear 10 have been committed tor

Nothing shows more clearly the heinous-
ness Of the crimes Of Deeming than the ability
to assert with truthfulness that he IS more
degraded creature than the author
OF the Whitechapel series Of murders.
fend who before the appearance Of
Deeming himself was regarded as having
reached tie most extraordinary degree OF
crimnalty that has been recorded IN the
annals Of the modern a~e. The Australian
