Revolutions continue to be uncomfort-
ably abundant in Mexico. There are sew.
eral Of them, each in active hostility to the
Juraez Government, but they have appar-
emily no other purpose 10 common. Some
of the leaders appear to be waging semi
regular war but more generally they and
their followers seem intent only upon rob-
berry and plumber. They keep the country
in state Of revolution for the sake of the
lawlcssness incident to revolt and the
license it gives them for crime.

FRANCE-THE WAR ENDED,

The leading feature Of the news from
France (says the Baltimore Gazette Of yester.
day mOruing) is the announcement. of the
complete suppression of tho instruction in
Paris. Not a single band Of the insurgents
is let. A great number are prisoners, and
their losses are said to be enormous, while
those OF the Government were comparatively
small. The dreadful murder Of the venerable
Archbishop of Paris and sixty-nine Of his
clergy is fully confirmed.
All the dispatches concur in representing
that the Commune did hard fighting. with
frantic desperation to the very last. A oireu.
lar from NJ. Theirs details the operations of
the troops, and praises them for the courage
that they displayed. A despatch. dated in Yer.
sailses yesterday evening. Gays that the insur.
gents surrendered Internationally at G clock
in the morning. The slaughter Of Saturday
night is spoken Of as having been awful. Tho
suppression of the instruction is estimated to
have cost over 60 900 lives and the destruction
of one-third of Paris.
There is reported to be great rejoicing both
within and without tho city of Paris ut the
termination Of the struggle.

TEE COMING STRUGGLE.

The New York Tribune, in its forecast of
the approaching struggle for the Presidency.
says: 1--WE believe the next Presidential
campaign will be the hottest within the mem,
DRY of this generation. At the last, with tho
enormous odds of popular soldier as our
candidate in the FIRST election after the war he
had triumphantly closed, our contest was so
close that the change of few thousand votes
in three States in the October elections would
have turned the scale against US Such as
the victory was, our opponents may claim dat
thy IRON 1t for IT'S themselves The Democrats
elected the Republican ticket, in Tammany
Hall, in July, 1868. If Mr.. Clement l..
Vallandingham did not perform the work
when he forced HOratio Seymour upon the as.
founded New York delegation, Gen. Wade
Hampton fairly flashed it when he secured
place on the ticket for tho author of the Broad.
head letter.

LABOR REFORM.

The wOrkingmen are holding immense
meetings in New York, under the auspices Of
the New England Labor League, with view
to canvassiug the situation before going into
the approaching campaign. After u careful
review of both parties, these wOrkingmeu,
Northern men, possibly nearly all Republicans,
pass their fat upon the Radical party in the
following fOreible, clear and expressive words i:
The Republican party is creating great feu-
dal systems BY creating the Pacific Railroad
and other like great corporations. They are
doing all they can to make PrOletaires of the
working classes of the United States. These
things should damn the Republican party to
everlasting infamy-(applause)- will do
so. When before was there ever a period in
the history OF the American government when
peculatIon and embeZZlement aud fraud we're
actually the rule, and not the exception. One
office holder now dare not trust another out of
his sight, and all this has come from the de-
bauchery resulting from favoritism and the
granting of enormous privileges by legislation.
Even the President Of the United States to-
day is so aPprOachable that he will take all
the horses that you give him. CApplause)
1 tell you that between the creation of the
national bank system, the land mOnOpOlies,
and other impurities which the Republican
party has prepetTated. with its dealing in
Arctic frozen regions and tropical earthquakes,
the American people fud themselves between
polar ice on one hand. and tropic fire on the
other, and If they continue to follow the die
tates OF the Republican party, they will soon
find themselves near the hclI-frO beneath
them

Fire at Alexandra, Va.

This town has met with . great loss. A
hre on Friday morning, May 10Th, DESTROYED
all the municipal Offices and the market house
together with Masonic lodge aud six private
buildings, eDtailing . loss Of SlVO. 600. about
$4,000 OfWhich will fall on insurance comma.
nies. The fire broke out at l2.45 A. NJ in
the grocery store of II. V. Huntington. ad.
joining the market. and thence spread 10 tho
east, north and south, burning the tin store Of
Me"Srs. Brill & Beach, the grocery store Of
Jane Sidebottom, the eating houses of II.
Taylor and Mrs. Smith, all the city buildings
and markets, aud the hsh Of the Alexandria
Washington Lodge Of Free Masons. The
extent Of the eOnfagra;ion is attributed TO the
limited supply OF water afforded by the water
works. Aid in the shape Of steamers Nos. 3
and and hook aud ladder company was
dispatched from Washington by the ferry
boat, and arrived in time to be OF considerable
service IN stopping the advance of the flames
towards the Mansion House Hotel
This cOnfagration is one of the most extern
slve which has ever occurred here, but the loss
Is, IN some respects, peculiar and not to be re-
paired. 1t involves many relics Of colonial
timessa of the life of Washington. and many
associations of Alexandra with the past. The
Market Space was set off for public purposes
when the town was laid out, in l749. and
some OF the county buildings then erected
have continued to be used for public purposes
until destroyed by FIRE that morning. Within
these buildings. too. was the Alexandria
Museum, in which were gathered many relics
OF the revolutionary era Of the town, the bat.
tie hags OF its soldiers, and many things con-
nected with its history. The Masonic Lodge.
too, OF which Washington was once Master,
was possessed of a number Of relics of their
distinguished brother, but fortunately these
were saved. The square which the flames
swept is the centre Of the town life IL was
closed in on two sides by the city buildings.
one on Cameron street, erected in l749, and
the other, Of more modern date, on ROYAL
street, built in 1917. The latter was sur.
mounted by graceful cupola, containing
clock, whose strokes upon a large alarm bell
could be heard in all quarters OF the town
For more than half a century all Alexandria
has regulated its motions by this clock, which
was ut times prone TO go little slow. Its
destruction makes gap that it will be diff
cult to Gil.

The Tuilleries and the Louvre.

These famous palaces, which were destroy
cd by the Communists of Paris, on Wcdnes>
day, were unsurpassed 10 maguiiccnco and
extent among the imperial residences of
Europe. During the reign of Napoleon III
they had been vastly improved and their
union into one grand connected pile compile
ted. The Tuilteries were founded in 1864 by
Catherine de Medici, wife of Henry H., and
was added to and improved by subsequent
monarchs. 1t was ransacked by the populace
during the revolutions Of 1892, 1880. 1913.
aud in September last. Tho Louvre is still
more ancient, and has had its graduatiors in
growth; but not such vicissitudcs as the palace
OF the TuillGries. 1t has been distinguished
for the magnificent collections Of ancient and
modern :statuarY and paintings within its
galleries. and its magnificent library, the &C.
foundations Of years.

section 2 Of article VIII, that "a capitation
tax OF ono dollar. shall be levied upon each
white male inhabitaut who has attained the
age Of twenty-One years" In violation of
this clause in the Constitution, the code i'm
poses n capitation tax upon cOlorod persons a.
well as upon white. No case under the law
has been taken into the courts. but it is evil
dent that negroes are exempt from this tax and
cannot be legally compelled to pay it. Now
that they have become voters and the political
