Tue arrears of rent in Ii eland are estimated at $39, 000,000. A Philadelphia Court which has had the question before it, has decided thai spring begins March 20. Corros factories are rapidly increasing in Georgia. One hundred thousand spindles -were aided during the year 1S31. Tas Texas Legislature has enacted a law acquiring railroads within that State to carry jassengers at a uniform rat of three cents a mile. A Chicago Jury has awarded f 3,500 to a tenant whose family was made ill by newer gas, the landlord having represented that the plumbing was perfect. It des seem that it should cost less than $5,000 to bury a Congressman, when a exCongressman can b9 put away for $5ft The lifference is altogether too much w expend on cocktails and cigars. Tue Republican political atomach doesn't Bni to be able to dicesteifer; and a good many Republicans ca't even swallow him. Orth, of Indiana, ways he is equal to a dose .ofepicac IJc&ixq tte months of January and February 2.228527 bushels of potatoes were imported from Euroje through the port of Vew York alone. Even American bacon was imported from London. Wr. Elaisk seems to be continually under the necessity of explaining "something." There is a screw loose somewhere; bat he is smart enough not to' let anybody sey; where the trouble is. He is tricky, and Mr. Belmont knows it. Ex-Secrktary or State Evarts is said to be a great wag. Being away in Vermont, where lie has a model farm, he received a note from a magazine publisher asking for something from his pen, wereupon the exSccretary sent the publisher a line pig. The New York Commercial says that "young Belmont did not quite succeed in "briugiug down the old coon with the moving plume, but he worried him badly." Well, Jeemea rather appeared to have been "brought down" towards the end of the ma' i nee. "Chet," when he wants "the boys" with him all night, sends a private note assuring them that they shall have "Cabinet whisky of uniform quality, rich and delicate in Ha vor absolutely pure a sure and safe tonic and & reliable stimulant" That always fetches them,' and. the old White House is .kept warm. j Bob Ingersoll said the strongest proof th at he ever bad of future punishment he ont frnm an Irishman, whom he found beating a snake. lie watched him for some time, when he said: "Pat, what are you pounding that snake for, it has been dead a long time?" The Irishman answered: "lie-lad, and it's meself that knows that; bat I want to tache the haytb.cn that there is punishment after death." TH1 TWO ROAD3 CHOOSE TBI In the comi election the votes of many of tint Citizens of this State will be influenced by their estimate of the probable ac fior. of the two great rolitical parties upon the question of prohibition. If in a matter of direct personal concern, tic so citizens were called upon individually to pas? judgment and to decide between two ueitizemi ae to the probable conduct of each under a given state of facts, the usual and certaiiily the sensible inquiry would be, hat of each of the men's past life? "What ol llifeir respective records? If the life record of one of the two persons "was found to be in harmony with the dejire J object had in view, and the life record of iLe other person was equally certain as favoring an opposite policy, and that policy vas adverse to the one had in view, there would be no diSiculty in deciding which of the two individuals betterfills the want. The rational conclusion is that the one whose Efe record was in harmony or even the nearest in accord vith the purposes , in view would be ' selected. This is a wise ccur-e, and the one usually adopted by men of 'sense in judinj as between individuals. It is equally the wise and proper method in judging as between pol i tied parties, and it is (nil id truth that it Is th only sensible method of deciding now an between political parties upon the pending q-!eti n of prohibition. It is a historic fact, as cert tin and unde ziiable as that President Garfield was assassinated by Guiteau, that all prohibitory or other fxtreine legislation kindred in charac ter which, has been enacted m any of thjse ßtaUs has been the work of the llepublican party has taken place when and where the Eepablican party was In power. The virtue, if virtue it is, of such legislation is exclusively the property of that party. Xet us see. Prohibition is the law of Ma'me. Maine is a Republican State. Prohibition is stamped into the Constitution and is the law of Kansas. It is the boast of Republicans that there is not a single Democratic County in the entire State. In Iowa and Nebraska, both Republican States by immense majorities, prohibition amend'.Tnents to their respective Constitutions are

to vote theroon in June. In this State, years ago, we had the law Of search, seizure and confiscation. Later the Baxter bill, and now the pending measure of prohibition, all the result and legitimate fruit of Republican success and power. In the lteht of these and any amount iof additional kindred historic- facts, the i tellicent citizen whose vote will be inn inenced by the issue of prohibition or anti. prohibition is not in the dark, and need be in no doubt as lo how to cast his vote. Every fair-minded man must admit the correctness of the conclusion that the pend ing issue of prohibition in this State is due to the success of the Republican party at the last election. It is no less certain that the successor that party at the coming election, will be ac cepted as an indorsement and approval ol the party in the Issue it has thus raised and its action thereon. This conclusion is both logical and fair, and can not ia truth justly be complained of. Plainly and fairly stated, then, there is nothing more certain in the political future than that the success of the Republican party at the coming 'election and its continuance in power means prohfttfw. In a word, it means that Indiana is to be moored alongside of Maine and Kansas. Otherwise stated, please or displease whom it may, help or hnrt whatever political party or person it may, in this whole busi nessof dealing with the liquor question there are just two plain, broad roads to travel. One the Republican highway to statute prohibition and practical failure, the other via the Democratic highway of a common tense recognition of existing conditions, and based thereon euch judicious and practical legislation in regard to the matte' as conditions at the time warrant. Choose ye every man for himself which road you will travel. WHITEWASHING BLAINE. The Republican press throughout the country has taken upon itself trie herculean job of whitewashing 'Blaine. The demand Is imperative, and the whitewashes are working .with commendable desperation. Every once in a while a whitewasher takes a rest, lays by his brush, and contemplates the results of his artistic labors with enthusiastic delight Oil 8U ch occasions he uses a variety of exclamations, all going to show that Blaine is safe. We hear of Blaine's 'magnetism," Lis "genius." his "adroitneid' and "commanding talents," etc. how grandly he floored Grant; how triumphantly he smashed Mulligan; with wtiat consummate tact he- ma nipulated the "Monroe doctrine;" ho tartly he dismissed 8hu' erd; how severely he rebuked Ilurlbut; and last how easily he got away with Belmont. Still, the whitewashers find it essential to begin again and go all over Blaine's iecorJ, and thus it hap pens that Blaine's waitewashers are forever at work on him, and the uioce they work the worse he looks. But it so happens that here and there a Lepublican organ comes to the frnt whic i will not only not whitewash Blaine, bu: will insist that his record is too infamous t be obscured by the operation, and such i3 the position of the New York Times. Referring to Blaine's behavior when Belmont was questioning him the Times remarks that "he (Blaine) was forewarned by Mr. Belmont's questions toward the close of his examination on Monday that the part played by the Landreau claim in oar South American diplomacy would be inquired into at the next session of the Committee. He was nut taken by surprise, therefore, when that delicate subject was broached yesterday, and by a mixture of evasion and deniaj, interspersed here and there with a little bullying when his questioner pressed him too closely, he contrived to guard all his secrets, while at the same time protesting that he was telling everything be knew. Begging the Committee to leave no stone unturned, he indignantly exclaims 'flow dare you!' when they approach the particular stone under which they and the public have excellent reasons for supposing that some interesting things are hidden." Tue Times fully comprehends Mr. Blaine, end does Dot hesitate to say that "the trouble is that Mr. Blaine can not tell all he knows about the Landreau claim without disclosing far more than.be ever intends to disclose of the motives and instruments of bis policy toward Peru," and that "Mr. Blaine's dispatches to Minister Ilurlbut, and the tatter's strange conduct in Peru, as well as sundry collateral and extradiplomatio evidences, plainly show that the Landreau claim was one of the instrumentalities employed by our State Department, , while it was in Mr. Blaine's hands, to establish a United States protectorate over Teru." In this conclusion of the Times'. all fair minded people agree, Blaine had a speculation the biggest be had ever handled. It was nothing less than to get up a corner on guano and saltpeter. .He was in a position to involve the Government of the United States in the disgraceful piece of business. lie called to his aid the "Monroe doctrine;" he talked spreadeagleisni; he sought to fire the American heart to create a war senti mmr, under cover of which he could pocket millions. 'This the New York Tims sees distinctly, and therefore says that "beyond his" t Dial no's) 4groTe3que rhetorical extravagances, his sarcastic repartees, and Lis ridiculous ft3umpflon of insulted virtue, Mr. Blaino fancies that ho is in secure bid iug from the penetrating gaze which the American people have of late bent upon him and his censnrable acts. But though he should bare his whole soul in the noon-day he could not make any plainer than it now is the essential truth that while he was Secretary of Blate he willfully and danger-ou.-ly perverted the traditions and policy of this Government to serve private ends. It 13 notjaterial that we should know all the Buccesrlve SV. jie took in seeking thee through the tnalaa.intratjon 0f a public trust vor that we shoula rrce from him or anybody's lips a full avowal oi-tfce hidden and questionable means made nse olfcy hi tu or lpi instrumenta. The .central damaging fadt is already sufficiently established, and ll .1 ! L 3 IV . A m n;n maws oasea ino arraignment oi Mr. limine, an arraignment he 'can not escape ricite sa eaiily as he has escaped the point ft the questions propounded by the House Committee." Such declarations, made by the foremost Republican organ in the coun fry. should teach themall-fry whitewashes of Blaine that Loneat Republicans know his

pending In an advanced stage. Iowa is

record ia altoge her too infamous to be cov

ered up, no matter how thick the whitewash may be spread over him. We commend the Times' estimate of Blaine to his whitewashers hereabouts. BALANCE OF TBADK.

It will be observed that during the twenty six years there were seventeen years in which the imports of merchandise exceeded the exports, and that during the entire period there were only three years in which the imports of specie exceeded the exp-orts The total imports of merchandise for the twenly-six years amount to $10,877,09G,02, and the exports to $10,129,043,593. Üuring the same period we have exported $1,537,4G.V20S in specie and imported $05,007,783 in specie. But this excess of the exports of specie should not alarm anyone, since dur ing the period named the United States ba produced $1,586,733,792, making our specie exports as legitimate as the exportation of pork. TARIFF REVISION. It is important for the people to under stand there is not a remote probability that Congress will give them any relief from the burdens of the most iniquitous tariff that ever cursed any people under heaven a tariff that has been pronounced by men of all parties as a bundle of rings and jobs, enacted and perpetuated in the interest of the few and in direct and flagrant conflict with the welfare of the masses. The people pay their Senators and Representatives to 1. gislate for them, but instead of performing their duty they shirk the responsibilities of tbeir positions and turn the most important busines over to a set of men, appointed bv the President, unknown to the peoDle and in nowise re sponsible to them for their acts. These Commissioners are expected to do the bidding of the President, who gives them official life. The President is known to be a protectionist, and in close sympathy with monopolist;. A Tariff Commission bill has passed the Senate, and will doubtless pass the House. If it does not pass the present tariff will remain undisturbed. If it does pass results will be practically the same, since a revision or the tariff win be in definitely postponed It may be well jus here to give the second and third sections of the bill to provide for the appointment of a Tariff Commission, now pending in the House of Representatives: Sec. 2. The Piesidettof the United States shr.ll, by and with the advice and consent of the sen ate, appoint ntua Commissioners from civil life, one of whom, the first named, shall be fremdem of the Commission. The Commissioners shall recol re as compensatio a forth', ir services each at the rate of $10 per day when engaged In active 1 uty, and actual traveling ana other Decenary expenses. The Commission ball have power to employ a stenographer aud a messenger; and the loregongcoiapeiiatlon ana expenHesiobeauditvd and paid by the Secretary of the Treasury out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. 8c 8. That it shall be the dnty of said Commission to take iuto consideration and to thorouehly investigate all the various questions relating to the agricultural, commercial, mercantile, manufacturing, mining and industrial Inter ests of the United States, so far as theasme may be necessary to the establishment of a Judicious tariff, or a rtsvUluu of the existing tariff, upon a MMle of justice to all Interests; aud for the purpoteoi tuny examining the matters wnicn may come before it, fcald Commission, m tha prosecu tion of it inquiries, is empowered vt vit sucn different portions and sections of the ciuntiy as It may deem advisable. It will be eeen, should the bill piss, that Congress abandons its most important duties and passes them into the hands of such men as the President may select and for their work, which will be in the interest of monopoly sharks, the people will be required to pay. It must be remembered that the people are not asking for free trade they are demanding a revision of the tarifT. They are earnestly 6etkicg for a redress of grievances which have too long existed. Such facta as relate directly to the subject can not bo too plainly set forth nor urgd upon the attention of the people with too much emphasis. In this connection it is worth while to ttate that in the list of articles included in the tariff tables f-orne are referred to as "articles of luxury" and others as "articles of . necessity." It would be supposed that in framing a tariff articles of luxury would be required to pey the highest duty and articles of necessity the lowest, but under the present monopoly and rich man's tarifT the reverse is true. Articles of necessity pay the highest duty, as, will be seen by the follow! ag tabulated statement: Articles of Luxury. . Per cent. Luces, cords gimps, braids.............

Balance of interest paid by United fctütCfi Iiiiiiiiiiii iiiimiiiiiiiiin inimiM State Senators. In relation to the question of elcfting a full State Senate this fall, Judge Irazier gives the following opinion: . . I The first rection of the election law of nl (B. S., 1881, Section 4.678; Ac s ,ls81. pa;te 42, Itction 1.) requires the election in November IVjlofsll otlicoM whose terms "will expire beiore trlYiext general election then;afu;r, unlets otherwise provided by law." Now, if there had been no otter provision of law to meet thecat-e of the Senate (in which there will bo twenty-five vacancies Irom October, 1814. until November of that year), the In guageof the section quoted would have covered il e ca.se; but it would have brought us face to f.:cc! -.Tith a question of constitutional law. viz : Could the Lepislature authorize the cl ction oi tha whole Süia'e at once, and thus destroy the conservative character of that body, which tha Cor smution hail impressed upon it (Art. 4. Sec. 3) by requirii a that "one-half, as nearly as sible, shall be rhosec bicnnally for ever." This probably would not have betu a very difficult question, when examined as one of pure law, with no temptation to subserve ulterior purposes; but as constitutional questions are always grave. It was thought best to avoid what was thought to be the p ssitility of it by making the other provisions to meet the special case. Accordingly ttis was d:r:e by Section 53 of the same act (which seems to have lxen verlooked in the present discussion), by which it is provided that "whenever a vacancy shall occur ia the office of Senator when the Legislature will bo in session after the recurrence of a vacat-cy and before a penend election," a sj eeial election shall be held to fill it. This bri-? the act Into entire harmony with the Constitution and avoids all complications and uunece-sarT elections. Such a thing as flllintt a legislative vacancy at ' a general election, beore the vacancy has oc curred, was not contemplated by the Coi.siltutio:i, nor is It by the election law of 1SS1. Indeed, both sections of the election law abovo alluded to are merely corded from the Revised Statutes of l)w2 t page 200 and 2G8, vol. 1). The question, however, is of very little practi-C-.l importance. Election to fill a I-eeislatlve va cancy would be only for the unexpired term, i. e., about three weeks in October and November, 18--4, and when there would be no session. I have not dwelt upon the difiicultiea which the Constitution puts In the path of the proposition advanced. There are several which would, I think, be coreiusive aeainst the validity of any statute which could be formed provicmg for choo-intr at a general electiou persons to fill Legislative vacancies nearly two years before the vacancies occur.
