SENATOR TILLMAN should know that
q b I'd leader often loses a good cause,
LIT alone one of whose goodness there
i much doubt, and also, that it is bu.
man nature to love men for the enc.
mics they have made. In a free and
equal country proper criticism of the
officers thereof, even the highest, is
Unsuitable, but coarse abuse is the very
reverse; and tho horrors of the French
r EVOLUTION, to which Mr.. Tillman al
ludes, were the legitimate result OF the
speeches ofjustsuch demagogues as tbs t
Senator has proved himself to be.

the Senate yesterday was speech by
Mr.. Tillman, in which he violently at
tackled the President for his course in
financial matters. Veteran members
of the Senate characterized Mr.. Till

markable in the history of the upper
branch of Congress. 1t abounded in
statements of sensational character, ar

THE ONLY things so far demonstrated
by the investigation of the recent
charges against the officers of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, are the facts that
the man who brought those charges is
an unsuccessful applicant for a position
there, that those charges are founded
solely upon hearsay evidence, that the
specifications relate to incidents alleged
to have occurred ten years ago, and that
by publishing them he has brought
shame upon several former inmates OF
that asylum who are now reputable
mothers of respectable families.

Each section of the lake has it's own
