'The Investigation which Gover- Wir Hurler has caused to be made in MM Tewkesbury poor institute, and tlie terrible' revelations maae. have r caused investigations to be made in £»ther- parts of the country. In New Brunswick, New Jersey, the comity housekeeper has been overhauled, and : dtadosures as revolting as those of Massachusetts have been given to the {public, rhe keeper received $2.23 per weak for each inmate, and he only gave them sufficient food ;o keep body and •oul together.

Governor Butler's example is being fallowed by the authorities all over fiio country and It will be surprising tadocd If some such disclosures ae those now made will not be forth- After a three days' sesitttn In Philadelphia the Irish national conven- tlon has adjourned. The perfect bar- •ony of the proceedings was a pleasant Mrprlso to all thnse who sympathize : With the movement. It needed no words or resolutions to show that dyna* fnite was abhorred, because from the •ery start the dynamiters were Ignored; tmt were, however, admitted as dele­ gates, because the call was so broad that any society claiming to be Irsh delegates. The convention have ; flttTacted the attention o! the people «f Xujjyjeu and America, and the final Jwllkin of tlie thousand and more dele* :*W*» to con:)line work for the object - In Vl^w In a peasefnl manner, will bring the support of tlie Irish ean*e . many who were deserting It on account of the dynamite and assassination ? policy. The resolution? adopted smack •trongly of the declaration of Inde­ pendence. As a whole the convcatiou %*» a credl r tit Irish-A merleanli had a right to send proceedings of the THR AOK OF RKVORH. The agitations now going on through* out the whole civilised world are sim­ ply the demands of tho people for reform. The demands of the masses In Europe are for a more democratic form of government, |ust as tit* people of this country are demanding a better civil service. iiru t!w i»o|ii« tax have more to say about governing themselves In Europe, there will be fewer "Invlnclbles" in Ireland, Social­ ists |n Germany and France, Nihilists In Russia, or "black hand" societies in Spain. .To-day this clas« of people are so lawless and advance such extreme notions, that they are not to be tolera­ ted In any civilized country on tho globe;and yet such societies are the legitimate outgrowth of the condition of the people of those ciountries. Com­ munistic societies, or such sentiments, gain no foothold in any country where the rights of man are recognized. Ilerr Most, the distinguished German Social­ ist. after months of hard work In this country, has no respectable following here. He came direct from a British jail, into which lie was put hee;in»<», when the civilized world shuddered at the assassination of the Czar of Russia, Herr Most applauded the crime in his little newspaper. He came heralded by his own clique and was extensively ad­ vertised in the press. Yet the few aduiir&rs lie found were In the large cities, near unlimited beer. Elsewhere lie has been left severely alone.. The sensible people of this country shudder at a remedy for an evil which begins with assassination, and lias for its ob­ ject the distribution of property. America is full of homes which arc prized because tlie occupants hold tlienv a; the price of individual eflort. Hun­ dreds of thousands of men and womeit possess a few acres of land or a house, and they priza them because they have earned them. Such people do not listen to the teachings of hair-brained and rickety intellects wbo preach the doc­ trine of nocialism. European governments must have noticed what small fallowings social­ ists have her«, and how contented are the very same people who were dea- perafe enough to almost embrace tho assassination policy before emigrat­ ing. Yet they do not seem to apply the remedy which works so well herea From the abolition of the feudal sys­ tem in Europe the advance toward giv­ ing all men a tnil recognition of their rights has baen slow, but under the agitation now going on, the object will certainly be'gained. The more the eflort is made to crush It out, the more obstinate will the people resist the encroach men ts of power, as has been repeatedly demonstrated within a very few years. The disturbances in Europe will go on until men are re­ garded by the reiguiug classes as hay- iug rights that are higher tliau their ow»M*4e to rovaltv. s Bakery S^les. M.

He was kicked put of the Repub­ lican party or frozen out for the want of moral principles: he was the terror of all party managers lor his tinman ageableness, but he is not a fool or a coward. He lias done better than many better men as Governor of tlie old Bay State; he has recently un­ covered a secret revelation of human fieudishness that shows how greatly was needed just such a fearless and efficient old hruiser. with authority to Investigate and punish. What better use can be made of power than to shield the poor and succor the op­ pressed.
