WTIn the delay of President Cleveland t6 make appointments of Democrats to office now filled by Republicans, there Is food lor Democratic thought, bat none for the body. - NT It doesn't seem altogether right to strike a fellow when he's down. Still the conn try would like to see the increased prosperity promised, last fall, by tin Democrats. tST Representative Barrows thinVs'the Jerry Simpson party, which has up to date a membership of one, a promising candidate for & straight jacket. Score another bnlls-eye for Burrows. 1ST Secretary Morton might have been engaged in a more useful occupation than when he suggested the profit that might be made by coining counterfeit dollars of real silver. There is enough crookedness already without such sug­ gestions. if IV* The governor of North Carolina can talk to the governor of South Caro­ lina just the same: and louder and often- er. South Carolina is now behind the bar and working the cash register on its own account. There may be less "slate" business; but the glasses are to clink as nMrrily as of yoro. 'Secretary Carlisle is wrong; there has not been too much talking about the financial affairs of the country. If he had changed the phraseology a little and said there had been too much wavering he would have been right. What he did say amounts to what Vanderbilt once said about the people. Who is John G. Carlisle that he should arrogate to him­ self this mighty power? This country is governed by the people, and until there is a change the aforesaid people will con­ tinue to discuss financial matters when­ ever they are so minded. * Oenffressmma says vote for the repeal of the law, bat he very pertinently rises to enquire In what manner a repeal ot this law will relieve the money strin­ gency of the times and put new life into our dead furnaoee and start the wheels of abandoned industries. The repeal of Sherman law will not give employment to the 2700 Idle employes of the Joliet steel mills and it will not revive the woolen industries of this country. After thirty years of magnificent progress in all the arts and industries under the splendid financial and protective policy of the Republican party, the people have declared for a reversal of that system that has brought national prosperity. In consequence of this the entire finan­ cial and industrial world is confronted with uncertainty, and industries that were before the pride of the nation now stand paralyzed. The repeal of the Sherman law will not bring a restoration of confidence on the part of the great world. There will be no reviving of lag­ ging industry until the policy of the new administration with reference to the tariff and finance becomes a fixed and es­ tablished certainty--and perhaps not then. In the meantime Major McKinley can afford to smile and bide time.-- Aurora Beacon. fv \ : • ~ i V ?;r K' lOTWell you have had four months of Cleveland-Calhoun management Messrs. bankers, merchants, manufacturers and pensioners! How does the sample of the "change" snit? Is, so far, enough "im­ provement" betrayed to justify the "change?" Are departing confidence, dosing shops and shrinking capital un­ der Democracy really preferable to assur­ ed protection and prosperity undo- Republican * stewardship? Does any sane man believe that the changed condi­ tion and aspect of affairs to-day prevail­ ing would have come to pass had Harri­ son and his trusted colleagues been con­ tinued in control? Is not vague fear of the imbecilities or eccentricities of a Democratic regime, threatening upheaval of Bhop, store, custom house, treasury and bank, at the bottom of the existing status? The absence of "confidence" is the conceded cause of the stringency in the money market and stagnation in fac­ tories. Want of confidence in whom or hi what? The present authorities have the same laws and the same resources at command as had the preceeding admin­ istration of unrivaled prosperity. In his late ungracious political proclamation the President bewails "unwise laws" in­ herited. Ah! Mr. President the trouble is lees with the laws you found upon the ~4Riational statute books than with the late enemies of the country with whom you have surrounded yourself; and the extreme danger of their unwisdom in un­ doing and bungling those same laws. |£x-Confederate brigadiers may no more lerly deal with Northern material in- than with the Union soldier pen- the North.

The doctors sent here from the United States to look after the shipment of rags and emigrants from this port are in a Btato of despair. They have sent cable­ gram after cablegram to the home au­ thorities stating that the regulations are not being observed. From different ports that they have inspected there are now being shipped to the United States ragS which contain bandages bearing the Hamburg hospital mark and used during the cholera season there, rags from Jeru­ salem that have come from the leprous patients and rags from Egypt that have been used by people suffering from that dreadful ophthalmia, which is so con­ tagious. The doctors have just come from the examination of a ship about to sail for the United States with 1,100 of the most miserable class of Italians, with all kinds of skin diseases and covered with dirt and vermin. The people say they are go­ ing to Mulberry street, New York, which to them means America. On Wednesday 800 more go out and on Saturday another lot. The rag shippers have a way of mark­ ing the bales of rags "disinfected," when no inspector has ever been near them, and shipping them to England, whence they are reshipped to New York.--Life. A Thousand Dollars For a 2-cent Stamp. ^There was a notable gathering of phi­ latelists at the Real Estate Exchange the other day, it being the second day's sale of the De Coppet collection. Every stamp collector knew that there would be offered some of the,rarest stamps of tiio different issues of British. Guiana. The sale opened with rare issues of Brit­ ish Honduras, and though these brought good prices every one was waiting for lot 858--British Guiana, 1850 issue, 3 cents, circular, on rose paper, cut round, but neatly mounted on a piece of the same paper cut square, nsed. This stamp is one of six extant. Three were in the Tapling collection and are now in the British museum, one is in a private collection in England and another In France. The auctioneer, J. W. Scott, hoped that this one specimen, which was yet ir the United States, would remain here. The bidding was begun at $600 and went rapidly upward until it got into and the stamp was at last knocked down to R. F. Albrecht for $1,010, the highest price ever given for a single stamp at an auction sale.--New York Tribune. Churches Hustling For Tenon. . The church choir directors who are filling their quartets are having a great deal of difficulty in finding tenors. The supply of tenors capable of acceptable church work has always been limited, but at the present time it seems to be more limited than ever. It is estimated that there are 15 churches in this city and Brooklyn whose directors or music committees or clergymen or all three are on a wild hunt for tenors. TheGrace church people are perfectly willing to pay a good tenor $1,000 a year, which is equal to $20 a Sunday, or perhaps they may do even better. As for St. Bar­ tholomew's church, it is not believed they would refuse $3,000 if they could secure a satisfactory singer. This is be­ lieved to' be the salary of Franz Rem- mertz, the bass there.--New York World. •Hi* ' • Hints Economy to Gash Traclers^w that Hps to make summer days fall of delight and comfort are on the Mopy fide of profits and must be converted into cash speedily.

Last week Mr. Holbert, passing by, uncov­ ered the well, and to his surprise hot steam gushed out in his face, and on ex* amination it was found that a vein of hot water about 6 inches in diameter had burst ii through the bottom and stands at a depth of 18 feet, boiling like a teakettle over a slpw fire.--Cor.
