The steady decline of the whale fishery
goes on without change. Even in the
hyperborean regions Of the Arctic and
Antarctic Seas, to which whales now
have to resort, the fishery is becoming
gradually OF less value and importance.
The Greenland fiehery for good many
years was profitable field for whalers,
but even that is now giving out. The
fleet OF whalers, last year, fitted out in
Scotland for the Greenland Seas num-
bered only ten vessels, and down to
June !, but two small whales had been
taken. although the fishery usually
closes by July !. This looks very much
as if the Scotch, notwithstanding their
lndomitable perseverance, would be
tempted to abandon this almost fruitless
pursuit. Whale oil is already largely
superseded by petroleum, but whale
bones will not be abandoned without a
pang OF regret.
The Augusta Constisutionalist saws:
'tAt the Conference at Cokesbury, s. G.,
last week, the matter of preachers using
tobacco was discussed as unbecomin9
and calculated to do harm to the rising
generation by the influence of q bad
example. One of the members soon
quashed proceedings by requesting the
brethren to hand over their tobacco to
him. Strange to say, not another word
was said about tobacco, and a very thin
collection of fine-cut and twist was
lifted"

slept the night previous, q huge high.

would let go.

The Cincinnati Commercial, COM
1nenting on its midnight dispatch Of
the 18th inst. Reproduced elsewhere),
relative to the disposition of Spain,
says:
1.-The midnight rlimor from Madrid
it comes, no doubt, iii The form of dis
patch from Dan. Sickles-is that Spain
will make ample apologies and conces-
sions, and will cooperate with the United
States introducing the ungovernable Gu
banvolunteers to reason-Spain reserv-
ing herright of dominion over the island.
The amount of this is that Spain
would be pleased to have the help OF
this country in subordinating the IN
surgent and reckless people Of Cuba,
we 70 pay our own expenses and she to
keep the island. We would be in the
predicament of the Indian to whom
the white man never said turkey once.
Suppose we keep out of this middle, al
lowing Spain and Cuba to mismanage
their own affairs in their own way"
The advice is good. Let Spain man.
age Cuba herself, but if she cannot
make the Cubans or Spaniards there
behave themselves towards citizens of
this country. our Government should
teach them lesson in that line they
will not soon forget.

WE are afraid that war with Spain
would utterly bankrupt the growing
and glowing prospects of Chattanooga
At least one might infer as much from
the strong colors in which the Times
depicts the situation:
There will be no war with Spain for
many reasons. In the first place we
have no excuse for going to war, and if
we had we cannot get ready for such
conflict short of a year The Spanish
feet now in Cuban waters would sink
the last vessel Of the North and South
Atlantic squadrons in less than sixty
days after the ball opened; and then
quickly turn their attention to sweep
ing our merchant marine from the seas.
One Alabama was sufficient to utterly
cripple, well nigh destroy, our carrying
trade. Spain can, and Will, If the
emergency arises, turn out a hundred
Alabamas. In the third place, war with
a power so greatly superior TO us as a
naval power means an addition of a
thousand millions to our debt. The
sober thinking tax-payersof the United
States have thought over these points,
and will put their veto on any precipi.
tate or foolhardy action proposed by
the fools and fanatics who would rush
us into a war, the sole benefit of which
would result to stock gamblers and des-
perate, broken down politicians.

Among the amusing afterpieces to
the glorious drama of the fall elections
are the persistent and studied efforts
OF Independents" to belittle Demo-
cratic victories, extolhng the Changers
IN one State, the Anti-Monopoliets in
another, and 50 on. Wecan well afford
to smile at the simplicity which fails to
perceive that the principles and aims
Of the Changers and Anti Monopollsts
are identical with those Of the Democ-
racy. Our aim is the redemption of
the country from Radical misrule, and
III this good work we have always well
coined all honest helpers. The more,
the mefrier viii be the sanguine De.
mocracy. Their victories are ours; our
victories are theirs: they are the victo-
RES of the people against class legisla-
ton. All independent efforts to set
Changers and Democrats at logger
heads viii be futile so long as both seek
a wholesome change from the princi-
pies and practices of Radicahsm, which
are oppNessing the farmer, the mechan-
&c and the laborer for the benefit of
monopolies and privileged classes.
Some editors are so anxious to be ''im-
partial, that they will never under
stand the vitality of the Democracy.
They can never rise above that notion
OF party which they have gathered
from the practices of the Radical horde,
and 50 they try to drag down the
Democracy to the same level.
Their notion of party is the
seeking and holding of office,
instead Of the dissemination and
enforcement of sound principles, for
the public veal. Theymay rest assured,
once for all, that the Democracy will
never tire till the incubus of sectional
favoritism is removed-till Radicalism
is dethroned. VIII it tire then? No;
it will have but begun its work, first of
PREPARATION, and next of laying the
foundations for a solid progress and
prosperity, such as the country enjoyed
for the first seventy years of its exist
ence. Ii this glorious work, and in each
successive stage of itsaccomplishment,
the Democracy welcomes all workers,

COLORED PERSONS ON CARS.

In the case of Catharine Brown, col
ored, against the Washington, Alexan-
dria and Georgetown Railroad Compa-
ny, to recover damages for personal in
juries in being put out ofthe ladies car,
the Supreme Court of the United States
on the 18th inst, affirmed thejudgment
of the court below for the plaintiff. The
charter of the company required that
no person should be excluded from its
cars on account of color The court
say that it is idle for the Company to
urge that they always permitted travel
on their road without making any dis
tinction on accounted color, because they
have always carried colored people in
theircars. That was not the requirement
exacted by Congress. 1t was that
there should be no discrimination in
the use Of the cars on account of color,
and that in respect Of such use colored
and white should be placed on an equal
ity. This condition was imposed by
Congress and accepted by the company,
and the latter cannot now evade it.
There was no danger that any railroad
would refuse to carry colored people in
their cars. Self-interest would prevent
such a refusal, and it was not necessa-
ry for Congressional action to provide
against the contingency. But the opin-
ion in this case does not decide thegen-
eral question of the right Of railroad
companies to make regulations sep
arating the races in their cars in the
absence Of charter provisions prohibit
ing it, where the accommodations for
each race are equal.

IT is the Rev. Mr.. Nottingham. Of
New York, who was guilty, in a sermon
lately delivered in that city, of this out
rageous affront to the women:
Ladies attach to the extremity of
their spines huge and awful bundle
Of stuff, by way of looking graceful,
and to the back of their heads they APP
pend an excrescent capillary mass to
compensate for natures poverty, or ex-
aggerate her bounty. The women of
the upper classes Of society have hearts,
but nothing to do with them; they have
heads with nothing in them, and the
knowledge Of this settles and rots on
their beings"
Wonder how Mrs. M. II. Burnham
New York correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican,, who pants to get
into Henry Ward Beecher's brooches,
would like to puton those of Mr. Froth-
ingham: We would not stand in his
shoes" for half a kingdom.

DECREASE OF IMPORTS.

The statistics of the foreign COM
merce Of the port of New York for the
month Of October, show that for the
first time since the month Of March,
the importations show an excess over
the corresponding month last year
The increase amounts to S6,2l5.08
and as compared with 1871 there is an
excess of Sc, 491 ,026, This is due en-
tirely to the large receipts of specie,
which amount to $9869,S69, against
S262, 946 last year; and, with the excep-
ton Of the entries for warehousing, the
remainder of the items show decrease,
the greatest Of which was in the entries
direct for consumption. which are over
two and a half millions lower;
as compared with 1871 there is
decrease of S5,834.560. The total
thrown upon the market is SIS, 450, SOS,
against S27,O42.l81. For the past ten
months the imports Of dry goods were
Sl07, ll0,l95, against 1927, 40l ,006 for
the corresponding period last year, and
Sll8.537, 43l in 1871. The total imports
for the ten months amount to 1852, 1885,
O2O, against 1891, 262, $50 last.year, and
$685., 266, 40 in 1871. The items of free
goods and specie show a considerable
increase, while the entries both for con-
sumption and warehousing, and also the
Withdrawals from warehouse. show a
decrease. While there is
decrease of imports, the exports for
October show an increase of S3,499.-
1914, as compared with the same month
last year, and shows an increase over
1871 of 8,94l,167. The gain in previ-
Gus months was wholly confined to do
mestic produce, the remaining items all
show a decrease. In the shipments Of
specie there is a decline of over So
$4,000. Since Jan. l the total
exports from this port foot up $780,
1881, against SOD, 9O4,673 during the
corresponding period last year, and
1855, 1868 Sl in 1871. Exclusive of
specie, there is gain this year over
last of S52,7l5, 1913, and an excess over
1871 of S50.847,117. 1t is time that i'm
porters, merchants and consumers of i'm
ported articles came to their sober senses,
and learn to pay as they go. Few banks
would suspend, and fewer business men
breakif thissystem generally prevailed.
For farmer to run into debt to the
amount of bis crop before he raises it,
or for mechanic to spend a months
wages before he earns or collects the
money, is to throw away part of his
labor.
