The tax oa the importation of lumber ia one of the crudest absurdities of our fiseal system. It is s bouety on the extermination of our tret a, as if they were wolves or Canada thistlee.

Oar policy ought te be to encourage the importetioa of lumber in all ways, and preserve oar own forests as carefully aa pomible.—[Chicago

Tribune.

While publishers of American period!calls can print and sand their works to England and sail them at 40 per cent, less than they charge for them here, it does not seem that much protection ia needed by them. We have bought American msgaxinea ia London and Glasgow for twenty cents, retail, which could not be bought at aay book store in ibis country for lees than thirty five ceuta. We believe ia protection, but not in extortios.—[Richmond Palladium. They Got the Bible. rCUlcago Tribane.] A Tribune reporter found the Hon. Thos. M.

I’ll give you a epecimen—one that I remember verbatim. It was from some place in Virginia. It said: “‘Dear Brother Garfield: We are building a new church over by the old well; we’ll have it done by the third Lord’s day in August. We want yon to send ns a new bible for the pulpit. We don't want no extra fine bible, bat a good, plain bibie, with leather covers and printed on the back in yallar letters, “Presented to the church at The old well by James A. G<cr field.” Now.

“Well, did Garfie’d send the bib’e?” asked the reporter. “Yes. sir; ne sent down toC eveland and got a $15 bible, had it marked with the ‘jailer’ letters, and sent it oa for the third Lord’s day in AngusL” And She Rose I'p. [Detroit Free Press.] It was coolly planned and deliberately exented in cold blood. They sat by the fire, and as he perused his paper she was bmy with thoughts of Christmas. By and by he waked up and asked: “Did any parcels for me come up to-

‘‘No, dear,” she replied as her face grew white as snow. “Have you been buying anything?” “Vo, nothing much. I happened in at Blank’s this afternoon, and as he was selling out his slippers at cost, I bought me three pairs. Guess I’ll be fixed for the next ten years to come.” “You—bought—elippers?” she gasped a* she pressed her hands upon her heart. .“Yea, and Dash came to the door as I was going past, and aeked me in to look at hie siock of dressing gowns.” “And—and—” “And I bought me a couple.

[Fx-Mtelsrer White] A fundamental theory of the civil administration is that every official, from the chancellor of the empire to the pettiest clerk in a oonntry post office, is to act in the interest, not of any men or of any party, bat of the entire nation; that offices are not “spoils” distributed by party leaders, bnt trusts imposed by the entire people; that the basis of ehoice to office sbonld be, not adherence to this political * political manager, ty; bnt this capacio ascertained, not by dancing attendaaoe upon party leaders or whining at the doors of msa in power, bnt by competitive examination, periods of probation and promotion upon approved merit; that good servants of the state being thus-secured, they should be retained, on the same principles which lead a man of business to retain so long as possible sn employe foaad faithful and capable; and,- finally, that this employe should be treated as a responsible human being, aot driven to advocate principles or to eupport men opposed to his conscience.

Taper is now beinglargely made in India. In the public tfficea the coarse quality med is no longer imported.
