Try the Coffee at H. M. P. —lsc. *Bo. 20c. per lb. There are some Republicans who are very much gr.itiflnl over the defeat of their natty, and it is no wonder that they are. A Washington special to the New York World says: “There is hardly a Republican {Senator or M tuber \\ ho does not take pleasure tu the contemplation of a thorough reorganization and cleaDSup of the departments. I have heard mu< ii worse things about the departtne ts and their management than I •vei heard from the Democrats. The trouble wi h the Kepuolicans who Wore conscious of all these wrongs VM that they could do nothing, or fanc-h d they could not, w thout injur lng the interests of their party, i ■Senator Bayard takes charge cf the Treasury Department next spring, and undertakes the reform of that department, lie will have a greater task on his hands thaD he has ever be'.ore undertaken.

A- Connecticut tUHUuraot»r;r ol La id ware s steel at a meeting in this •ity last week that with the duty ie Jiovetl from ihe materials he used lie would compete vvitn foreign manufacturers in all the best markets in the world. The gentleman employs some3,ooo hands. Hb makes goods which are highly “protected.” He is obliged to use skilled labor at good wages. Yet, in-rim.d of siring for further prmeoth n to er.nble him to Kf< ; p tie* home market, asks for tlie removal of the tax on raw materii.’s in order that he may seek foreign markets. His situation is like that of many others who have been blinded by the flattering notion of being protected from foreign competition, but who begin to see that they have uuthing to fear from foreign competition at home or abioad.—New York Times.
