BY reference to our advertising columns e
will be seen that the merchants Of our city, who
have hitherto been apathetic in the municipal
contest to come off next Tuesday. have taken
courage and gone TO work, it ia to be hoped. with
a right hearty good will. None will suffer more
than the commercial interests Of this city. If We
are thrown completely into tho hands OF the
political olgarchy which seek to seize the city
treasury for mere purposes Of plumber. Tho
boosted superiority Of New.York cannot long
be maintained under the present and rapidly
increasing high rates of local taxation. To tho
merchant, the capitalist, the mechanic and tho
laborcr, it Is Of the last importance who
shall be our next Mayor. The interests
of capital and labor are identical.
High taxation reduces the interest on the rich
mans investment, and at the same time raises
tho poor mans rent. So long as our municipal
affairs are left to the mercy Of designing knaves.
just so long we must expect increasing taxshos
and exorbitant rents. With an honOst, upright
man as Chief Magistrate, We may hold in check
the unbridled license Of those who hang about
the halls of our municipal councils. II we iait
in this, we are given over as prey to the most
unscrupulous knaycry for the next two years.
II is time our merchants and taxpayers were
aroused to our actual condition, and the meeting
to-day should show that they are ready to 80 TO
work in earnest. Mr.. Blunt runs against Q
divided party, aud so far the chances are in his
favor. He is man of sterling honesty, and
has been tried by the tremendous ordeal Of ten
years service in the City Government. None
of his opponents will venture to impugn
his oiIlchl or personal integrity, and
tho worst that one Of their organs can
find to say against him is, that he is not
handsome His long official experiences
and his intimate knowledge Of the municipal
laws peculiarly qnalify him for contest with
the corrupt men by whom, as Mayor, he Will he
surrounded. There is no man whose election
they would so much dread, for they know that
he knows them, is familiar with all their tricks
and practices, and understands how they can be
defeated. That he can be trusted no man
doubts; that his election will save this city NIL
lions OF money no man questions. That every
citizen who pays a city tax, who rents a house.
or hires o room, or has any interest in the citys
welfare, whether great or small. may oount
upon larger income for the two years ensuing
should Orison Blunt be elected, is fact as un'
questionable as that two and two make four.
And the honor of the city no less than its In
tcrest il involved in this contest At least,
then, let us try Let the merchants to-day
start movement that shall insure success.

Their opponents have, at least, failed to profess
tho same sentiments, and are, moreover, instru-
mental in supprcssing in their States one of the
rights most highly priced by the people Of the
United Statcs--the right of every citizen to
worship God according to the dictates of his own
conscience. In both Guatemala and Eucador
the exercise of no religion, save Roman Catho-
licism, is allowed.
In San Salvador the overthrow Of the rule OF
President Barrios by the troops of Guatemala
led TO an attack upon the U. S. steamer Saliva
dor. in the port Of La Union. A guard boat
fired into the Salvador, for the purpose Of pre-
venting President Barrios from escaping on her.
Upon tho remembrance Of Mr.. Partridge, the
U. S. Minister at San Salvador, the new author

of tho conduct of the Commandante" OF La

Tho Emperor Of France, in the memorable

1t is significant that, in the organ

to control its construction and management
