grafton at New York, to deport Joseph Holz-
hauer, . native Of Austria, afflicted with favus,

passed 800 young gentlemen into Woolwich
and Sandhurst. many Of whom were now
members Of the House Of Lords; and. not
withdrawing the outward polish, which
could easily be scraped away, he (Mr. HUNT
could say fearlessly that the House OF Lords
at the present time contained more rufiians
than could be found in any othor legislative
assembly. or any assembly, on the face OF
the earth.
This is certainly pretty strong language
coming from north OF Ireland Protestant
clergyman; but It seems to show that all is
not union among the Unionists. and that
Protestant Ulster. so called is by no means
welded to the House OF Lords.
Professionalism aud patriotism can 10
hand in hand in all countries; and 1t
is cheering to find the evidence OF this
fact in district which still contains a
large number Of men who hate their native
country and loudly proclaim themselves
her enemies. We mean the Orangemen.
They take the stand that was taken
by the Tories Of this country In the days

foremost OF that lamentable class which

Yet how can that tax be Democratic2 A
proposition for such tax was in the Popu-
list platform. II the country had wanted
such tax. 1t would have voted the Populists
into power. 1t has given the Democrats no
commission to impose such a tax. II they
attempt to impose it. they may hear OF
something to their disadvantage.
1t will be fine certificate Of the value OF
Democratic promises. not to furnish the
kind OF taxation called for by the platform.
and to throw in another kind not named In

Just theory OF equal taxation.
