Lord ROsebery,s Efforts to DEM
ocratize AristOcracy.
Chicago Record.
Lord Rosebery enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first prime minister
of Great Britain to recommend that
his sovereign confer nobiliary titles
upon tailors. John Barran, who has
just received a baronetcy-that is to
say, a hereditary distinction-has
made large fortune in the clothing
business at Leeds, while Israel Hart,
who was knighted on New Years
day, and who, consequently, must
henceforth be addressed as Sir
Israel, is clothing dealer and tailor
of Leicester
Tailoring is very respectable and
lucrative profession. There are
many honorable and estimable citi-
zens who earn their living by that
calling. 1t is scarcely, however, a
profession in keeping with the some
what medieval notions of chivalry,
knighthood and nobility.
Lord Beaconsfield, who was wont
to profess the mosa profound con-
tempt for the order of baronets and
for the dignity of knighthood, and
who did not hesitate to distribute
these honors with lavish hand to
every one who cared to pay for them
in the shape of contributions to the
Tory election fund, never went so
far as this. But Lord Rosebery
seems determined at all costs to dem
ocratize the aristocracy. His pro-
curing baronetcies and knighthoods
for retail tailors is quite in keeping
with his recent appointment of re-
tail grocer and a retail cattle dealer
TO the proud positions of lord lieu
tenants of Irish counties, positions
tnat until now invariably have been
held by the peers of ancient lineage
and high degree.

BODvIN GOES FREE.
The Grand Jury Finds No Bill
Against the Boy

Nicholas Bodvin, the eseventeen-year-
old boy who shot and killed his father.
Peter Bodvin, last Monday morning,
is free man. The grand jury yester-
day made its final report before Judge
Smith, which contained a great MANY
indictments. Among the mo bills"
returned was that against young Bod
vim. The crime for which he was held
was murder which he claims he com
mitted in self-defense. There were no
witnesses to the termination of the
fatal quarrel in which father and son
engaged and young Bodvin's story of
the manner of the killing was general
ly believed. The investigation de-
veloped that the old man Bodvin was a
slave to drink, and man of a brutal
and ungovernable temper. He had
often threatened his sons life, and, as
one of the witnesses told the jury, it
was a wonder he had not been killed
long ago.

GORMAN DELEGAT WILL con-

CONVENTION.

knOtty Problems That Confront the
Democracy of the State-WiI the
Senator's Acts Result in Another
Republican Victory, or VIII a
United Democracy sweep the state
i'm the Handsome style of the OIden
Time s-Inereased Power Lodged
in the Governors Hands.
Baltimore. July Ex-senator German will
control the action of the democratic state
convention which will meet here next
Wednesday TO name candidates for gov
ernor, controller and attorney general.
There has been a very decided opposi-
ton to the senator in many of the coun-
ties. but his success was finally clinched
yesterday. Primaries were held in sever
al counties and the senator's friends con-
trOlled most Of them. In the senator's
home county-HOward-a concerted eff
fort was made for the first time in TWEEN
~ years to defeat the German followers.
but the ants were showed under.
Now that it is known that Senator Cor
man will have a majority in the conven-
ton knotty problem must be confronted.
VIII he consider it good policy to nomi-
nate a German man" and thereby array
the anti-Gormanites against the nomi-
nee or viii he consent to the nominal
tion of a Cleveland democrat and avoid
a factional fight which might land Mary
land in the republican column?
The result of the election last fall when
the state for the first time in thirty years
went republican, has not been forgotten;
a like result this year would be a much
more serious matter. BY reason of the
negro strength in some of the counties it
has been the policy of the state to con-
centrate more and more the government
in the hands Of the governor. He con-
trolls. through his appointments, the en-
tire election machinery of the state. once
place that power in a republicans hands,
it is argued, it would be a long time before
the democrats could regain control.
Senator Germans enemies-the indepen-
dents and Cleveland democrats, are as
sertng that unless fit nominees are put up
at Wednesdays convention, they will stay
at home on election day and again let the
state go republican. They point to the
Baltimore city primaries held last Thurs
day, as an evidence Of their feeling. With
a total democratic vote Of between $4,000
and 10000, there will then be only q few
more than 5000 votes cast.
With the convention but three days of,
its gubernatorial nominee cannot be named
with certainty. Thomas G.. Hayes is ap-
parently far ahead OF all competitors, but
the active opponents OF Mr.. Hayes are
searching for probable nominee. to put
forward, in an attempt to kill off the re-
assessment champion. Senator German
is known to favor Spencer c. Jones, and
the antis are asking: "Win the senator
dare nominate him?"
The republicans will hold their state
convention Aug. u. The indications point
to the nomination of ex-Congressman
Lloyd LOwndes Of Cumberland to make
the race against the democratic nominee
for gubernatorial honors.

as heretofore, a weekly wage at union

"Of the $50 shops in New York, 61O are

before tomorrow morning. All the men
are out in Brooklyn and Brownsville. and.
in addition, fully 1000 women, employed in
button sewing and filing. The strikers
number 1000 in Brownsville, 1900 in Brook

We intend to fight this strike TO the bitter
end, and whether it takes three or six

He said;
The agreement we made in last Septem-

A Line Connecting Jacksonville and
st. Augustine to BE Built.
Jacksonville, Fla, July 2s.--It is stated
on good authority that an electric rail-
road from Jacksonville to st. Augustine
will be in operation by Jan. l, 1896. The
road will be constructed by the Jackson
willie and Tampa Bay Improvement Rail-
road Company.
This company was chartered by the
legislature of the state to construct and
operate a line of railway from Jackson
vile to some points on Tampa Bay, with
branches running to several important
interior towns of the state. The COM
pany was given a land grant of 1000 acres
of land per mile for every mile actually
built. The promoters of the company have
been looking over the ground and have,
after some little trouble, secured the pass
age of an ordinance by the city council
of st. Augustine, giving them the right
to construct and operate a street rail-
road through the streets of that city. The
incorporators propose to have the work
of building the road from this city to
st. Augustine begun at once, and the
surveying corps will start out in a few
days from the south side of the river.

Probably hanged by the Perpetro-
tors of n Previous Outrage.
Memphis, Tenn, July 2s.-Charlie Bur-
well, an aged negro, was lynched near
Meridian, Miss, last night about 10
o'clock It was first supposed he had been
hanged for completely in some of the hold
ups and attempted murders in that vlcin-
ity 1t was thought that he was con-
cerned in the Farmer outrage, which oc-
Cured within a stones throw of where
he was hanged.
On the night of July 4, Lewis Farmer
and his wife, who owned a small store
about TWO miles from Meridian. were
murderously assaulted and left for dead,
after which the store was robbed. The
perpetrators escaped, and at present sew
eral suspects are now confined in Jail.
Later developments seem to fasten the
lynching on the real culprits, since it is
learned the old negro. Charles Burwell,
was promised a reward of $3.50 to ferret
out the guilty parties, and this becom-
ing known to them, they went to his
house, dragged him to the Sowashee
bridge and strung him from a beam. A
coroners jury rendered a verdict that he
came to his death at the hands of un-
known parties.
