The Philadelphia North American specu-
lates n.what 1t calls "Gen. Grants new
colonial policy" 1t believes that there IL
some basis OF truth in the reports sent from
this city that the next administration will be
marked in It's foreign policy by continued
efforts to extend our possessions as the pro
gress OF the republic may justify. Among
the people, II is Of the opinion, that the feel
ing In favor of the annexation Of San Do
mlngo il stronger to-day than ever Il was,
and that Congress may in a short time re-
sumo consideration Of the subject. So far as
Cuba is concerned, the NOrh American does
not see how II can DO acquired without long
aud expensive war with Spain, IN opinion
which we do not share, because We believe
that Spain would be very willing to part with
the eyer-faithful isle on terms that II would
not be difficult TO arrange.
The samoon or Nayigators Islands, which
were offered to us by the native chiefs, Is
another point which may possibly come up
for discussion; also, the necessity of requlr-
ing some territory in tho Pacific for the pro-
lection Of our maritime interests, which are
growing into such enormous proportions.
In regard to Mexico II does not think thai
"Rny government Of that country would be
strong enough, at the present time, to risk a
sale" Lower California is about the only
feasible section, separated as 1t Is from the
rest of Mexico by tue Gulf Of California, aud
with very few inhabitants. Should the claims
commission ever get through It's laOors, and
make report Of damages IN our favor, We
might indicate a territorial compensation, as
tho Mexican Government has no money to
spare. All these are very Interesting quss-
lions, and should be considered iu an I'M
biased and uDprejudiced manner.

In another COLUMN, this morning, we print
an Interesting article from the London Times
on the Alabama question aud the late pro-

The WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs have organized
for the ensuing year and adopted resolu-
ton that Congress shall establish female suf-
fragc 10 the District of Columbia. This IL
really very kind; but is it not rather too
much of good thing We protest against
Washington being made an experimental
ground for all the crazy enthusiasts in the
country. II Mrs. IIigginson and Mrs. Julie
Ward Howe " Co. want to sec how the thing
will work why don't they 90 and establish
territory of their own?

SERIOUS FEARS arc entertained that the
destruction of certain classes of manufac-
lures, especially of woolcns and leather, will
cause an advance Of prices In these commod-
itics That there is no scarcity Of wool in
the country Is evidenced by the fact that the
entire wool crop of the country is over one
hundred million pounds, and that some sew
enty millions are imported. Not more than
two thirds of last years clip has come into
market. About ten millions Of pounds were
destroyed In the Boston fire. This may
slightly unsettle the market, hut 1t will be of
only temporary duration.

TUE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF FRANCE
would seem inclined to take NJ. Theirs u his
word. In his recent message he advised the
initiation of constitutional meas ures. The COM
mittee appointed to draft a reply to that doc
umeut will, we are told, demand of him the
appointment Of responsible Ministry; that
he shall take no part in the debates, and that
he shall communicate with the Assembly only
by message. Some of the other measures
proposed In France at the present time arc
the creation OF an upper chamber, 10 he
elected by local governments that have them
selves been elected, and provision for the
election Of Vice President. This Is a close
Imitation Of our own system, and Indirectly a
tribute to our Institutions.

phiosophic suggestion, sarcasm that smiles, not

and. enlivening all fresh, "crlsp yet juicy" and
delicious humor. BACKLOG STUDIES have been
quickly appreciated by the press. The New York
Times says that these sketches "for light, airy, but
genuine deneatIons OF character, have rarely been
surpassed by any writer of the present day" The
Boston Transcript says that for delicacy Of touch,
quaint sentiment, and quiet humor, BACKLOG
STUDIES are the best Of things in their way" The
Nation thinks that BACKLOG STUDIOS No. III. :" re-

Of real merit" Writing Of one Of these papers, the
N Y. Mail says 1t is the "best thing he has written,

The eeur6 Market.


10 he Editor oft ne Con,shSciots AK
Ibelieve there is m ordinance requiring ti1ose
Who back their wagons against the sidewalk 70
sell iheirpredpee from the end OF the wagon.
Such being the case, oarmarketmasteri sadly
neglecting bis duty, when be lows butchers to
occupy almost half Of the Sidewalk, first with
their chopping blocks and then with their greasy
benches, driving all pedestrians, who are not
after beef, to the opposite side Of the street,
And again, these same butchers occupy the side
walk in the same way by three or four O'Clock
in the afternoons before regular market days.
This nuisance is neither lawful nor just, and
the whole thing calls for a speedy action Of
Council in removing the market frem the great
thoroughfare, or artery, of our beautiful city.
Our population is now increasing 80 rapidly
that the great established business street Of the
city should be kept free for pedestrians, as far
as possible The street railroad-a great boon
to our people-requires quite as much Of the
street as can be spared and no other obst uction
should be allowed in il. NN
hope the members OF Council will do what
they must see is for the benefit OF the whole
city, without regard to petitions, pro or con, sent
in by selfishly Interested persons.

Ias.L,nae nnd Debility. 2


Thc relaxation Of nervous energy which creates
an indispositlon to physical or mental effort, so
strong as almostto amount to positive inability, and
which we term assitude, proceeds from variety of
causes. The principal of these are constitutional
debility heat Of the atmosphere, coupled with hu-
rnidity, climatic changes, and the physical prostra-
ton consequent upon long illness. But whatever
the cause It must be perfectly clear that If the ner
vous system is unduly relaxed, something is re-
quired TO brace 1t up. That something is Hostetters
Btters which is universally recognized the most
complete ami speedy recuperaut of the physical
forces in existense. 1t has been so thoroughly and
widely demonstrated as to be a matter of positive
certainty and familiar knowledge, that the Bitters
Will not only rehabilitate the physique when shat
tered and wasted by disease but will also, If taken
Systematically, actually compensate the constitu.
tionaly feeble frame for its deficiency of strength
and by infusing new life into weak system, endow
1t with the health and vigor which Nature has de-
MED it. The Bitters enable the body to resist the
enervating influences of heat humidity, and changes
from temperate to hot climate 1t is on these
accounts specially to be recommended to travellers
and residents in the torrd zone, and persons sub
fec ed to abrupt transitions in temperature.
