A writer in the midst of the Partisan log
saws: "For ten days we have been Nv
ing in the midst of London-like fogs, and
as this sort of weather is rare in France,
every one is suffering from colds. IN
England it is never very cold when there
is heavy fog, but here the damp seems
to penetrate, and one feels the cold much
more than on the dry cold days, with the
thermometer below zero. As conse-
quence of this weather. we have numer-
GUS suicides, some four or five being re-
corded every morning"
There arrived in Chicago, recently
freight car containing two million dollars
worth of silk-worms eggs, shipped from
Yokohama by the French Government for
France. This valuable freight was con-
veyed to New York and shipped on Sat
urday~ Tor Europe. Three custodians OF
the nine and half tons OF eggs have
come all the way from Yokohama, and
win not leave their precious charge till it
il receipted for in Paris. The eggs are
packed in leaves, layer upon layer, and
placed in air-tight tin boxes. which are in
turn covered with mating. The car is
kept at temperature below the freezing
point, and no light is admitted. The
mating covered boxes are piled on either
side. There is nothing to be seen there
but mating, and the appearance of the
boxes is certainly not indicative of the
value of their contents. This is the first
attempt yet made to import silk-worms
via. the United States, and if human fore
sight avails anything there is every reason
to look for success.

1t is a fact Of some interest says the
Daily Advertiser, that, in spite of the bust
ness disturbances which came on just as
the animal tax collections were beginning,
the taxes in Massachusetts were paid more
promptly than ever. On the first of Janu-
airy, of the State tax of two millions five
hundred thousand, only about twenty five
hundred dollars, or one-tenth of one per
cent, remained unpaid. accompanies sui
ject to the corporation tax less than thirty
are yet to be heard from, and these for
triiling amounts. The number delinquent
last year at this time was twice as large.
An exhibit like this, in season of extra
ordinary depression, of which nobody had
been fairly forwarned, is most encourage

- In answer to a correspondent
who writes us from Mt. Vernon, we
desire to say that we have no disposi-
ton to insult Irish Democrats. But
we are getting tired Of this senseless
din about Irish representation or Ger
man representation on Democratic
tickets. When an Irishman presents
himself for office who has merit, nom
mate him, but recognize no claims Of
nationality. Let no man be discrimi-
mated against because of his nativity
We are all American citizens here
The above is from the Cincinnati
Enquirer of Monday, and we confess
that we are little surprised to see so
sensible an article on the subject in
that paper. But, is not the Enquirer
taking the risk of being read out of
the Democratic party by the foreign
element for the utterance of such her,

The Democracy and License,

If there has heretofore been any
doubt in the minds of the temperance
people in relation to the real position
of the Democratic party upon the sub
ject of the perplexing question Of IL
cense or no license, that question is
now unmistakably settled and no fur
ther doubts need be entertained on
that subject, for at their State C0nver-
ton held in Columbus on the 25th ult.,
they fully committed the party in IA
vor of license, in the following plank,
which was adopted in their State plat
folm:
13. We favor the submission to the
people, by the General Assembly, of
an amendment to the Constitution au-
thorizing the passage of Il license law
This plank it seems, however, was
regarded by some of the cautious ones
as being a rather strong dose to be
gulped at a single effort, they were ev-
identity afraid of its effects upon the
body polite, hence the following eff
forts were made to sugar-coat the pill :
THE LICENSE PLANK.
Senator Fisher, of Coshocton, NOV
ed to strike out the word license
from the resolution on that subject
and insert Local Option" Loud
cries of 'sNo p ssNo - and the motion
was Overwhelmingly lost.
Judge Dwyer, of Montgomery, NOV
ed to insert the word graduated be
fore s'license,'' so as to make it read
graduated license and explained
that he did this in behalf Of the small
| liquor dealers, most Of whom were
Democrats.
Mr. Trainer, Of Jefferson, moved to
strike out the whole resolution about
license; and several speeches were
made for and against the motion.
Judge Haag, of Henry, said the res
olutions did not commit the Demo
cratic party to any system of license
or to the license principle at all, bu
simply that the whole question shall
be left where it belongs, that is to the
people. Applause
The previous question was ther
moved and carried, the amendment.
were voted down.
The assertion of Judge Haag tha
this resolution did not commit til,
Democratic party to the license prin
ciple, is as the boys generally say tot
thin, Who ever heard of the Demo
cratic party or any other party rec
ommending measure or policy t,
Legislative action, that they did no
approve of. The resolution doe
pledge the Democratic party to tn
principles of licensing the traffic il
intoxioants if it means anything at all
and what is the use of Judge Haag o
any of that sort of people trying t
hide or conceal the fact.

Changed Their Tune.


The Democrats would seem to be
the most inveterate screechers for the
return to specie payments, of anybody
on earth. Nothing but Benton's mint
drops was good enough for Demo
Gratis. Well do we remember when
they used to parade in their papers
what they claimed was the policy of
their political opponents, and this is
the way they put it: ''Gold for the
office-holders and rags for the hard
working yeomanry of the country"
That they tauntingly alleged to be
the policy of their political opponents.
But their tune has changed. 1t throws
Democratic politician in Ohio into
spasms now to talk about making
preparations to return to what was
once boastfully called the good old
Democratic currency Gold and sill
yer, and such like mineral stuff, is good
enough Iow for the working, toiling
millions, but we unsophisticated Dem
/ ocrats want Government Green backs.
The ring of gold and silver dollars is
vulgar in their refined ears.
