forward to. After November we will quit hearing about the tariff.

MK. BLAISE is reported to be greatly in love with cot-door life. And well he may be. A coaching trip through Scotland, Just think of it.

SEVEBAL of the railroads have agreed to carry all uniformed militia to the Evansville encampment free of charge The railroads are not such bad fellows after all.

CONQRE88MAN Cox estimates that the oensus of 1880 will give us a population of 64,600,000. "How we pumpkins do grow!" Possibly it would be Just as well if we didn't grow quite so fast.

IT is announced that gum chewing has practically supplanted tobacco in Wash ington. Either of them is bad enough and it is not easy to say which is the worst. Why can't we be civilized and stop chewing altogether except when we eat?

THE State elections which will occur ^before the Presidential election in November are as follows: Tennessee, August .2 Alabama, August 6 Arkansas, Sept. 3 Vermont, Sept. 4 Maine, Sept. 10 and Georgia, Oct. 3.

AceoHDiyro to the Atlanta Constitution the crop of Georgia "worter-melons" has been so great this year that the railroads could not furnish cars enough to transport thorn. If this be true Georgia has A vast deal to answer for.

INDIANAPOLIS and Evansville have both been fighting a gas monopoly and both have been worsted. It is rather a curious coincidence that ttnal action was taken the same night—last Monday —in both casos, the gas companies winning signal victory in each case.

AN enthusiastic Arknansan has made prosont of a fawn to "baby McKie," Gen. Harrison's latest grandohild. If this oxample shall prove "catching," the

TIIK proposed water flotilla reception to Mr. Blaine on his arrival home has been abandoned, owing to inability to provide boats enough to accommodate the crowd. But tho land parade, which Mr. lllalne is expected to review, will probably surpass anything of tho kind yet seen in this country.

gold excitement has jumped from Brown County, Indiana, to northern Michigan, whence couio stories of incredibly rich discoveries. It will be well to take those tales with a large amount of salt—with an entire salt mine in fact —until they shall be corroborated by atrong and ample testimony. Bonanza gold mines in this country, outside tho Kocky Mountains are not as plenty as white blackbirds.

THK Prohibitionists seem to be the chief uncertain quantity in Indiana.politics this year. The only thing certain about them is that they Intend to get all the votes they can and that they are likely to got more than over before.

TIIK etulden death of E. P. Roe, last *veek, removed one of the most popular and well-known of American authors. The general opinion among critics is that Mr. Roe Is outranked by a number of American writers in point of literary merit but if success to be tho teat then the author of •'Barriers Burned Awa|,' must be accorded a high plwee in national literature. His storlca sold by the hundreds of thousands and although he turned out his books with remarkable facility, his publisher*, like little Oliver Twist, were always crying for more. He wrote for the masses rathor thau for the cultured few and there, is thia strang point in his favor, his novels are all permated by ft healthy moral tone.

Ain now the Italians in the large cities are beginning to hold meetings to protest against any legislative restriction of immigration from their country. As they have votes, the same as any other free American citizen, there is danger that the weak-kneed politicians may truckle to the Italian vote. When will American statesmanship get above such groveling?

appears that railroad building in the United States is not to cease or even lag until the question whether Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Harrison is to be the next chief executive shall be decided. Last year nearly 15,000 miles of new road were built, the greatest amount for any one year in the history of the country It was not supposed that the present year would come anywhere near such showing, but the reports indicate but little falling off trom last year for the first six months. The building this year is not so much in long lines as in feed era of lines already built.

THE failure of the secret benevolent society, the United Order of Honor, has called the attention of the public to this class of organizations. The old time life insurance companies have been all the time insistent that the insurance furnished by the benevolent orders is not safe and will not endure the test of long trial. On the other hand the fraternities contend that their insurance is as good as that of the regular life companies. -I is evident that much depends upon the quality of management and upon the vigor with which the lodges push the work of getting in new members. There Is a lesson in this failure of the United Order of Honor that should be carefully headed by all other benevolent orders.

IMMIGRANTS.

There is not likely to be any revival of know-nothlngism ip this country, but there is a rapidly growing sentiment on the subjectof immigration. It has been decided that the Chinese are not wanted here and that we are getting too many Italians for the public good. And now some of the newspapers are begining to speak their mind touching certain other foreign elements. St. Louis has a very large German population and yet the Critic, of that city, which is a Democratic says: "It is about time to mo ?e on the Irish and German immigration. We have enough Irish and German here now for all practical purposes, and the tide ought to bo shut off or diminished as much as possible. Europeans are Hocking to America in gangs and are driving thousaudsof American workingmen out of employment. To them, the Chinese wore but as a drop to a bucket. They are driving the American workingmen out of employment all over the country. Now, what difference does it make ,to an American workingman whether a Chinaman, an Englishman, an Irishman, an Italian or a Gorman takes tho bread outof his month? Wboro there was ono Chinamen to compete with tho American laborer there have been tlfty Europeans."

That Is putting it too strong. America is not yet prepared to shut^her doors in tho face of honest, industrious and intelligent foreigners who really want to make their homes here and become a homogeneous part of our population. But we certainly don't want any other kind and the sooner they are shut out the better. Our immigration laws require radical amendment and Congress should take the matter in hand at once.

THE MILLS BILL.

Tho Mills tariff bill come toa final vote in tho Houso on last Saturday and was passed by a majority of 13, only two Republicans voted for it and only four Democrats against It.

Tho bill is now beforo the Senate for tho action of that body and the probabilities are that it will not receive its support. Such would certainly be the case if the Republican majority in the Senate were larger that it is. But since the Democrats wore not able to carry all the members of the party for the bill in the House It is hardly likoly they will be able to do so in the Senate. However the case goes finally it will be well for the country when It Is settled. The constant agitation of the tariff tends to disturb business, unsettle values and keep the country more or lesa demoralised.

The Mills bill,of and in itself, is not worth all the fuss that has been made over it. Its general efffect is to cut down duties from about 47 to about 40per cent. Such a reduction is not remarkable. As great, or greater ones have been made before and made by Republican Congresses. It is not the immediate effect of the bill but the policy which lies behind it that causes so much apprehension. It is understood to tender the issue of a free-trade revenue system in place of the present protective system. In thia view the Mills bill Is only the entering wedge and is to be followed by others that will lead eventually to freetrade pure and eimple.

It is not strange that such an apprehension should create disturbance. Free trade means the opening of tue great American market to England and to the world, an etnormooa Increase of importation*, a| corr*#p "ilng decrease of home production, mills and men, hard times and scarcity of work and money. These things seem to be what would follow the breaking down of our protective system and the proepect hi well calculated to crest" anxiety. The old adage to let well er igh alone might he applied In this case. The country has prospered well under protection and grown rich and great. Can any other Bi"on in the world show as good a reo-

Lincoln Chestnut and Edwins Arrowsmith weie wedded at Grafton, Neb., last week. The bride's reply to tih# usual formula, "Do you take this Chestnut?" was a painful strain on the solemnity of the occasion.

Scientific men generally believe that electricity gives a painless death. Ihe shock is so sudden and so strong tfcat one hasn't time to feel. There is only one mild flutter of the pulse between a condition of health and unconsciousness. "At the present day," recently remarked a Philadelphia judge, "lotteries are held only by two classes of people—very religious people and very bad peoplfr— and, strange to say, the most difficult thing is to eradicate them among the first named class.

Levi P. Morton, Republican candidate for Vice-President, was never a tailor, as has been frequently published. He was the son of a poor Congregationalism clergyman, and by his own energy and business talents was able, before he became of age, to buy a country store In Hanover, N. H. The- store had a tailoring department connected with it, and this fact doubtless gave rise to the story.

The Chicago Tribune tells this story: When Rev. Myron W. Reed, now of Denver, was stationed In Indianapolis, fca was introducod to John Stuck, a gambler, and Stuck, thinking Reed a newly arrived gambler, handed him his card with an invitation to "come down..

Forty years ago the chief duty of an editor,, in view of his limited facilities, was to gather all the news he could and print it Intelligence was transmitted slowly many occurrences of Interest "were never heard of beyond their immediate locality ocean mails were long in transit, and the overthrow of an European dynasty was not known here until long after the event. Suddenly there came a change. The railroad and the telegraph ^superseded old methods, aad the newspaper was ^literally Hooded with news. The death of a petty ward politician in San Francisco, the result of a ^-Presidential election, the accession of a sovereign, -Ctlie outbreak of a war, and notice that a shanty had been burden in Texas, all were hurried over the wires into the newspaper offices, and there bein no idea of discrimination, all were printed.

Thus originated the blanket sheet" The publisher who could send out the biggest blanket for a nickel was th most enterprising the biggest paper was the best it was a period of bigness.'
