SATURDAY, MAY IL, 1894.
THE AMERICAN TORY.

Under the above caption Seth Low il
Donahoe's Magazine for May contributes
a timely and thoughtful article which de
serves attention. He says at the cutse
that the American Tory is daDgerout
type of men in this republic; that he Ell
tertaine low opinion of the intelligence
of the masses and would, if he could, de
priye them Of the right of suffrage. HI
then continues: "We raise note OF ALARM
at this time; We hear strange words from
editors and from college professors, who
cast wanton reflections upon the judg
ment and honesty of the average man
ye 500 men of culture attempting to res
cue aristocracy from the tomb where
popular government has laid it, and tt
undo in the library and sanctum what
was nobiy done upon battle fields and ir
Legislative halls"
The American Tory is descended from
sires who sspoused TIE cause Of King
George in ths,days Of the Revolution, and
he ia afflicted with Anglomania. He be-
loags to tbs wealthy class, and thinks ii
an outrage that the laboring man in his
employ is politically his equal on election
day. He hates democracy and loves arie
toeracy, whether OF wealth or culture
and innagines he is made Of superior clay.
We would be sorry to believe that there
are many Of This sort Of Americans, but
undoubtedly there are some, and the
number is on the increase. They are the
men who are opposed to the income tax
in the Wilson bill and who are unwilling
to support the government in proportion
TO their ooeans. They have acquired en-
ornous wealth by an unjust system Of
taxation levied on the wants and necessi.
ties of the masses while they escaped
contri outing their just share for public
purposes in proportion to their vast in
comes. The day OF reckoning il fast ap-
preaching for such men, and they will
reshze that the people rule, and that
they viii compel them to do their duty.
The masses Of the. people can never be
deprived Of their rights in this country
by the American Tory. There may be
dangers ahead for the republic, but there
is enough patriotism LETT in the people to
save it from all peri1e, no matter whence
they come.

GREAT BRITAIN has long had the uni
que distinction of being the only nation
which does not display the national flag
over the house Of parliament. Protest
and appeal from various patriots have
been without avail, the government at
last taking refuge behind the excuse
that no money was appropriated for the
purpose. A member of parliament Of
fered to furnish the funds, whereupon
the government gave in, and few days
ago it was announced in the House OF
Commons that IN future the national
flag (the union jack, not the royal stand
ard) will be hoisted on the Victoris
standard of the houses of parliament
during the sessions of parliament.

WHEN Ben Harrison was asked the
other day If he would be a candidate for
the presidency before the Republican
National Convention, he replied that he
did not care to discuss the question, as
few people know what they will do two
years hence. Ben has the presidential
bee humming in his ''grandfathers hat"
but he will not get the chance of leading
his party to defeat again. Mckinley and
Reed will probably be the running mates
on the Republican ticket in the next
campaign, as both of them are popular
idols Of the party of monopoly.

DAVID B. HILL has an able champion
in the New York Sun which, though
styling itself Democratic, is high tariff
organ, While the leading Democratic
papers of the country have denounced
Hill as traitor to his party for oppos-
ing the Wilson tariff bill and it's income
tax attachment, the Sun endorses HE
course, lauds hun as disinterested pa
triot, and calls him "the man OF the
hour" The attitude of Senator Hill on
the tariff bill will not be forgotten by
the democracy of the country it he ever
appears as candidate for presidential
nomination. The praise bestowed upon
him by Dana will not help him par

"A DISPATCH from London says that
emigration from the British Islands TO
the United States has fallen off 17,l87
for the first quarter Of 1894, as compared
with the year before. The emigratio
from Ireland during the first three
months of the year was only 1922. The
falling off is ascribed to the hard times
prevailing in THE country which pre-.
vents Irish Americans from forwarding
remittances to pay the passage of their
relatives and friends in the old country.

A TRAIToRoUs CONSPIRACY.

If any doubt existed in the minds of
the American people as to the true char
acter OF the A. F. A. it will be removed
by perusal of the "declaration Of prin-
ciples" given to the press by the supreme
council OF that order which met in secret
convention liz Des Moines last week.
For medieval intolerance, ignorant stu
pidity, and narrow craftsmanship, nothing
approaching it has ever been issued in
this country since Knownothing days.
The skulking hypocrites who formulated
such platform of principles merit the
execrstion of all true Americans who
love human liberty and desire it's perpet-
uation in this country. The document
issued by these fanatics is a mass Of
contradiction, inconsistency and bigotry,
and breathes the spirit of falsehood and
persecution. Starting out with the dec
laration that the first requisite for MEM
bership is ''loyalty to true Americanism,
which knows neither birthplace, race,
creed, or party" they proceed to assail q
certain class of citizens by implication as
being dlsloyal and unworthy OF public
confidence They pledge themselves to
resist the efforts of these citizens-the
Roman Catholics-to attain to any Office
IN the gift OF the people, on the false plea
that they are subjects of an un-Ameri-
can ecclesiastical power" and that it
would be dangerous to entrust them
with holding Offices in national, state or
municipal government. They say that
they uphold the Constitution OF the
I United States, and no portion Of it more
than it's guaranty Of religious liberty, but
In the next breath they oppose the ena-
ploYment Of Roman Catholics as officers
or teachers in the public schools. They

VERY amusing blunders are sometimes
found in newspapers in spite of the best
proof-readere. The London Times had
8 bad misprint in the report of Lord
Randolph Churchill's recent drunken
speech in parliament. For the words
"O'Connell then made joke" the Cock
ney printer set in type "O'Connell ther
nearly choked," and the proof reader did
n 1t discover the mistake until the paper
was issued from the press.

The following paragraph is from a
speech delive ed by Congressman Fitch,
of New York, in reply to the charge that
New York is foreign city and that it's
people are unintelligent: When did New
York become "foreign city?' Was it
when the first Congress met there at the
corner of Wall and Nassau streets, and
when Washington lived in Pearl street?
Was it when her seamen fought the bat
ties of the war Of 1872, or when her SOL
diers led the triumphant advance into
the city of Mexico? Was it when her
militia saved Washington in 1851, or
when the long procession of her regi-
ments answered every call OF the nation
in the civil war? Was it when her wo-
men organized and maintained with
hundreds of thousands OF dollars the
sanitary commission to care for the sick
and wounded, and her bankers gave the
government the loans needed to carry on
the war? Or was it when, in 1889, with
the flag on every house, with the school
boys in line, with patriotic music, and
with pomp and circumstance never
seen before in this country, she oele-
brated the Inauguration of the first Pres
ident? It is absurd to describe the peo-
pie in New York as unintelligent. They
have built up the best common school
svafan in the state. and have thu hont
schools Of medicine, Of law, Of theology,
Of science, Of painting, and Of music in
the United States. They have the best
newspapers and magazines il the world.

of aristocracy coming to this country for

men who have accumulated wealth in

sons of these mushroom millionairss
have become dudes while their daughters

A Republican organ Of high tariff jocu-
larly says, in referring to the San Fran
cisco heiresses, that Congress should
create few titles of nobility and dis
tribute them among the young men of
the principal cities, so as to have a sup
ply OF native dukes, earls and barons for
these anorous and ambitious American
maideDe. We would net be- at all sur
prised if men who are trying to amend
the American constitution would favor
the bestowal of titles. The members OF
secret societies of monarchical origin are
fond of high titles, and if they ever got
the control they expect to obtain by pro-
scriptive methods they will certainly ex-
alt themselves to the orders OF English
nobility and eschew the Republican sim

beyond the conviction of the ordinary
Christian in simplicity and sincerity. 1t is
indeed impossible to spend much time

certainty that they are profoundly in ear
