But as it provides for a cut of $60,000,000 in the internal revenue taxes on lufuries, . it shows what the Republican idea of pro- teoting labor is. Mr. BLAINE in his spake at Adrian, Mich., declared that the coming election settle i, tariff question for a gen- at least. Mr. BLaixe is probably and for this reason the voters 1d see to it that a reduction of exces- ve taxation is assured for the next gen- Iv Messrs.

Louisan hails with satisfaction the recent marked improvements in both of these necessary adjuncts to prosperity. ‘The fast mail train from New York to St. Louis and from St. Louis: West marked a new era in the history of this city. It placed it on an equality with hitherto more favored cities in the North- west. Theimprovement in time in the fast mail,/with the additional facilities furnished from 8t. Louis to New York, announced in Friday’s Post-DisPatTcs, shows that the first step is the important one and that increasing advantages fol- low it. At the suggestion of the Post-Dis- PaTCH, limited vestibule trains were put on between St. Louis and New York and fast vestibule trains to other points have been added since. A marked improvement has been made in the passenger and mail service to Little Rock, and now solid trains run through to Denver on fast time. | All of these improvements inthe time and convenience of service are of great value to St. Louis. But they do not com- plete the list of her wants by any means. The ¢dhtire South, embracing all points between the East and West lines, and particularly the Southwest, is the especial territory of St. Louis. Arkansas, Texas, Southern Kansas, the Indian Territory and Mexico should be brought into the closest possible communication with St. Louis. This is the country the commerce of which should be bound to. 8t. Louis. Every advantage given to 8t. Louis mer- chants to push trade in that direction will as richly reward the railroads as the mer- chants. Wé should-like to hear from some of these railroads next. THE nomination of lV by the County Democracy and of Grant by Tammany will make a mayoralty con- test in which the New York Republicans will have fine opportunities for trading. If either HILt of CLEVELAND suffers by it, Hewitt and the County Democracy will have to bear the brunt of the suspicion and the blame. Their relations with both State and National administrations are far from cordial, Tammany showed its loyalty to party by supporting Hewitt as the nominee of the County Democ- racy, and is fully justified in refusing to support him again after he has shown himself such a crank in office and assumed the role of a dictator in New York politics in close affiliation with the Republican opponents of both OLEVELAND and Hitt. Mr. Hew- ITT is mainly responsible for CLEVELAND’s mistake in supporting Fettows and for the miserable outcome of the prosecutions against the boodlers. Hkrwitt is an honest man but a orunk, or with the views he has held te would have found out twenty years ago that his proper place is in the Republican ranks. THE feeling aroused by the educational wartare in/ Boston seems tobe extending to the spialler towns of Massachusetts, where the women are registering in un- usual numbers. This movement to defeat Catholic, in reality Irish, candidates for the echodl boards is a mistake under any circumstances, and in this case promises to be a fatal one to the aggressive party, in view of the actual statistics of the relative facture strength of the two parties furnished by Mr. B. C. CORRIGAN of Boston, a Catholiv and also a warm friend of the public schools. The census of 1885 for Massachusetts shows thatin that year there were 89,763 more children of Irish parentage in Boston than of Massachusetts parentage, and in the State Ireland claims 518,931 to Massa- chusette’ 449,141. The Senate’s Refusal. From the Philadelphia Times. The refusal of the Senate to give our manu- facturers and our labor the benefit of the free list of raw materials, is simply a monstrous assault upon American capital,. American labor and American consumers. It is in defi- ance of the earnest teachings of Republican Presidents Grant, Arthur and Garfeid, and is at war with every principle of justice to labor and justice to consumers. It is turning back- ward the hands of progress into the darkness of Chinese walled theories, and is a fearful confession that there can be no relief to either eapital or labor without an imperious demand from the people in the coming election. It is an appalling declaration that the highest war taxes On the necessaries of business and of lifé shall be continued indefinitely, and that high taxes and low wages shall be the only hope of American workingmen. It is the policy of madness; the policy of oppressing . the many for the benefit of she few, and it is upon capital, labor and consumers since the | formation of the Republic. It is mean parti- san juggilery with pea 3 eee ay _—_—— age ty be age oe ae ee ea tag Kec Tar, ~ a choles of the people should wot be doubétal.

SEVERINE, the editor of the Paris Cridu Peupie, has in a pathetic and almost agonized article thrown up the effort to re- generate the laboring and social world. A COMFORTABLE if not luxurious living is now made by women in New York by going from house to house combing and caring for the hair of Invalid or ease-loving women. Mrs. LANGTRY’S stay in London was chiefly noticeable for the stir ber presence did not create. Not a ripple of excitement met the tair Lily’s advent; the Prince of Wales ignored her, the nobility let her severely alone, and the press gave her but little attention. Miss MARY ANDERSON bestows & great deal of attention on her colffure, which is always of histeric correctness. Mrs. Langtry is even more careful of the style in which’ her abun- dant tresses areconfined. She has a different tashion of hatr-dressing for every role.
