A remarkable pamphlet has been
published in London by Lord Sackville-
West. the former Minister to the United
States containing severe structures upon
American politics and politicians. 1t
will be remembered that President
Cleveland almost on the eve of the cleo
ton of 1883 sent Sir Lionel his passports
because of a letter written by him to an
alleged Englishman in California, COM
menting upon the approaching election.
This pamphlet is Lord Sackville's de-
Tense and explanation, after seven
wears, of that incident.

at Genesee, N. Y, last night the
jury in the case of Father Flaherty, the
Mount Morris priest, charged with as
sault upon Mary Sweeney, a member
of his church under sixteen years of
age, brought in a verdict of guilty.
This morning he was sentenced to
seven years in Auburn prison. Flaher-
ty was asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced
and he said: ~ am innocent of this
charge and have been unjustly con-
voted. My innocence has been de-
monstrated by the testimony and the
verdict of the jury is contrary to the
evidence" Flaherty will probably not
be sent to Auburn for several days and
of course there is possibility of his
being released on bail pending an APP
zeal.

ACCORDING to the institutions of this
country, for which the Revolutionary
War was fought and the Liberty Bell
was rung, every one OF its citizens is
guaranteed the right to the pursuit OF
happiness. There can be little happ :
ness without bread and meat. And,
sine, the beginning, man has had to
earn bread by the 'sweat of his face"
But the Institutions referred to are
snare and delusion. for though
mans family may be sadly in want of
the necessaries of life, and though there
be work which he would like to have
in order to supply these necessaries
with the wages he would get, he dare
not take it, lest he be abused and as
saulted by those who have abandoned
it of their own volition.

ACCORDING to Senator Gray, the de-
feat of the democratic ticket in Mary.
land would be disagreeable to Mr..
Cleveland; but, according to the Balti,
more Sun, the Presidents mouthpiece,
the cleveland democrats" of Mary
land must, aud will, defeat that ticket.
A doubt is thus raised, which the Presi-
Gent, for his own sake, should settle.
He has talked and written on other
subjects not so important to the party
that elected him as this one, and it is
hardly possible that the cuckoos can
nave really induced him to believe THAI
he is so much better than his party
taat he deigns not to notice its most
urgent matters.

IT WAS stated in the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence, month

In a speech made at Snow Hill yester-
day, Mr.. German said "Mr. Lowndes's
nomination was the result of con-
spiracy between Mr.. Abel, ofthe Balti-
more Sun, and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad" knowledge is grieving, but
still it is we'll enough to know some
things before every body else does.

a False Diagnosis.

ia Grippe is confounded BY many persons
with severe attack 9fcatarrh. which in some
respects resembles tie former. These indi-
yiduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage Of the nasal passages, and
in fact are incapscitsted for work OF any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cresm Bslm has been u4
with the best results In such cases. tt 3

The BALTIMORE american says 'peo.
pc get more money for less work in
this country than anywhere elae in the
world" This is Individually true.
But, nevertheless, the demagogues here
attempt to make the people referred to
disconnected with theircondition by con-
tinually preaching to them that they
are worked to death that their en-
ployers may roll in luxury. The fact is,
that in many cases the employers make
less out of their business and live more
economically than their employees,
though they work twice as long.

Ex- CONGRESSMAN GEORGE WISE, of
Richmond, thinks there is no good rea-
son for change in the present election
law. Few other intelligent and dis
interested people do, who have OBJ
served the operation of the Law; for, to
them, it seems the most effective meas
ure that could possibly have been de-
vised to secure free vote and a fair
cunt" And, then too, as it is impos-
sible to please some people, there is no
use in trying to do so.

GRAND RAPIDS, Aug. 80.-An agent of
the Associated Press in this city has just
returned from Brinton, Isabella county,
where John Smalley, the supposed train
robber who was killed by deputy sheriffs
at McBain last Saturday night, lived from
1884 to 1891, and has positive evidence that
Smalley was there visiting his old neigh
bors last week at the time of the hold-up
and until after the killing of Detective
Powers in this city,
The train was robbed Tuesday night
and Powers was killed Thursday night
and Smalley was not within seventy-five
miles of the scene of either crime The
neighbors with whom he stayed on each
of the nights between Monday and Satur.
day were seen separately and closely ques-
toned and their statements show plainly
that Smalley could not have committed
either of the crimes above mentioned.
