1t was just at midnight on the sixth

Wallace slept peacefully from l o'clock
this morning unttl sunrise, close to the
carcass of the horse he had slaughtered.
His digestion did not seem to have been
at all impaired by his banquet of yes
terday, and his gluttonous appetite
seemed s%harpened by his nights rest.
AS soon as 1t was light enough to see
he breakfasted on thirty or forty pounds
more of horse meat, shook his name con-
tentedly and began strutting about the
narrow confines of the stable, ready to
resist the attempts of his keepers or
anybody else to put him back into his
den.
Manager Bostock, Bronco Boccacio,
the tanner; NJ. liant and his wife, Nine.
Mana, took turns watching the lion dur
ing the night in order that he might not
escape from his frail prison unseen dur
ing the darkness and create havoc in
the imid, shivering neighborhOod. Two
policemen, heavily armed, stood guard
outside the doors. The heavy breathing
of Wallace could be distinctly heard
on the sidewalk.
Boccacio, who went off guard duty at
3 o'clock, returned at s o'clock this
morning. He entered the stable by GO
ing through the carpenter shop in the
east half of the building, climbing 10
the root and letting himself down
through the scuttle hole.
The ladder leading from the sidewalk
to the second-story doors had been re-
moved. 1t will not be used again If
Capt. Gallagher and i detachment of
police from the East Twen.y-second
street station can prevent 1t.
Every few minutes yesterday the
dark-skinnCd, l~ong-hairCd Boccaclo,
with blood-besmeared hands and face,
or else one of the Keepers, with bloody
clothing and revolver in hand, assembled
or descended this ladder, exciting the
most intense interest in the young ar
member of the big crowd that persist
emily hung about the place. on such
occasions the deep bass roar of str
Wallace could always be heard as II in
protest against the removal from his
possible reach of a prospective feast.
That and other of the dramatic Access
series were missing to-day, but the
spectators, who were equally as numCr-
Gus, contcnted themselves with looking
idly at the little building and listening
to the occasional rours of the lion.

On the occasion of the 225th anniversary
of Beverly, Mass, Rev. Edward Everett
Hale took occasion to pay well merited
tribute to the Essex county fishermen.
Their history had never been written, he
said. but it was certain that they con-
tributed greatly to the success of the
War of the Revolution. The Essex seamen
seized British prizes at the rate of more
than two day for seven years, and
brought them into the harbors of Bever-
" and Salem. This marrying of Britain's
commerce, in DR.. Hale's opinion was the
great consideration that enabled Frank
lin to conclude. the treaty ofspeace. Then
every reader of American history remem-
bers that when Washington crossed the
Delaware on that famous stormy night
to fight the battle of Trenton, his army
was ferried safely over by the skill of the
fishermen from Col. Glover's Marblehead
regiment The fishermen are a modest
people, more acquainted with hardships
than printers ink, and therefore little
likley to emblazon their own deeds. 1t
is, therefore, pleasant to see them getting
their due.

Three years have now passed away and
| the Democrats are in power in all
branches of the government The re-
sponsibility is now theirs, and according
to the theory which they acted on in the
Fifty-frst Congress they are bound as
party to carry it out. But they found
themselves hampered as the Republicans
were, only to much greater extent. A
good half of their party in the House of
Representatives were not for sound
| money; and almost half of the Senators
were the same way. Had it not been
| for Cleveland in the White House, who
could have told which way the Democ-
| racy was headed on the currency ques-
| ton? Finding itself impotent to meet
the responsibility placed upon it, the
| party began to whine. "The good of

our aid, /" they said to the Republicans
| The Republicans saw that such was
| really the case and under the lead of
| Mr.. Reed the entire Republican member
| ship of the House, with a very few excep-
| tions, came forward and saved the repeal
| bill. Compare this with the actions of
Carlisle, Mills, Crisp, and VOORHEES, three
years before And now in the Senate the
mass of the Republican members have
been waiting in battle line ready to do the
same good turn there if Democratic lead
ership would only show sufficient capacity
| to get them chance to vote.
| This is the situation. Will any candid
Democrat deny that the Republican posi-
| ton is a generous, magnanimous and
| patriotic one? Ought not the Democracy
at least to show its appreciation by sus-
pension of unjust criticisms? Such
would seem to be in accord with the or
binary courtesies of enlightened beings.
Instead of that the atmosphere of this
nation is ringin g with the denunciations
ofssDemocratic orators, who are telling
| the people that the Republicans have
debauched the currency, and that in the
| Democracy lies the only hope of sound
money! The Dem ocratic position is too
| absurd even for ridicule.

NE1GHBoRLY CoURrEsIEs.

Have the Democratic party no ideas of
the courtesies and decencies that should
govern conduct among ne1ghbors in en-
lightened countries? 1t sometimes seems
as though as mass they do not. A can
did view of the present monetary situa-
tion shows that party in strange posi-
ton. 1t has always been the theory of
our government that the party in power
is responsible for the conduct of the gov
eminent The Democrats, in late years
at least, have lived up to this theory
They have said in effect to the Republi-
cans: you are in; you must run
things; and we shall make the business

When the currency question came up for
adiustmentaain the Fifty-first Congress,
the Republicans, who had control of the
government, found themselves hampered
by a small faction of their party, who
were bent on securing the free coinage of
silver. The mass of the party were for
sound money; but its majority was so
narrow, especially in the House of Rep
resentatives, that this small free silver
faction could make great trouble IL. case
