An amusing incident occurred after
the recent destruction Of the landing
at Liverpool, England. A luggage
room, in which passengers deposited
their parcels, was destroyed, and
among the sdferors was the owner Of
a small carpet bag. He was beside
himself when he heard Of the loss Of
his bag, declaring with tears, in biz
eyes that it was worth Gl0O 70 him
When he learned, however, that il
was among the articles saved, his dis.
may was as great as his grief had
been. On opening it there was found
inside two ahirts, three pair of stock
ings, and an old waistCoat.

1t is hopeful sign to see the republican
press, at last, waking up to the dangers OF
the "third term" heresy. With this stumh-
ling block out of the way, there is hope.
Without its removal the future is dark and
defeat courted Thus Burlington paper,
not the Sentinel, but "the other paper,
says "To 60 into the national campaign
g with a nominee weighed with the un-
g popularity of third term would be to
court utter and irretrievable defeat"
And so another Vermont newspaper has
plucked up courage enough to say that the
President lis prudent man and would

=" for reelection with the unpopularity of
third term which would insure his in
=" evitable defeat" All right, gentlemen,
but be careful. Although it is now con-
coded that the administration is not the re-
publican party-Poland, Willard, Dawes,
Blaine, Foster and others IN congress de-
monstrated that-yet it, for the present, is
the dsposer of patronage. The New York
Times and Erening Post dared to crticise
the acts of de Trobiand in dispensing the
Louisiana Legislature, and the fraudulent
acts of the returning board on which that
action was based-and all government adj
vertising was taken from them. Judge

Investors in 5-20 bonds are considerably
disgruntled at the contemplated call of
Secretary Bristow for $3.50, 0OO. 900 of these

bonds as permanent investment have de-
nounced Secretary Bristow's action as lille

registered bonds out of their order. 1t is

during the present fiscal year so that Mr..
Bristow, if he confines the call to registered
issues, will keep inside the law. Mr.. Bris-
lows general object was, no doubt, to pay
his $50, 100000 out of the treasury to
American bondholders rather than to for
eign holders of the coupon bonds. What
will be the actual effects on various large
interests remains to be seen.

Gov. Howard of Rhode Island, who is
himself a itch manufacturer, says in his
annual message that the time seems to have
come for considering the question by legis-
lation the hours of employment for women
and children in the factories. The COVER
nor says: 'In trades in which are mainly
occupied by men, ten hours are allowed to
constitute a days work. Why should
women and children be compelled TO labor
at an employment quite as trying both to
brain and body, and more combining than
almost any other, for longer period Of
time? Experience shows that impaired
health is most frequent in those mills which
run the greatest number of hours daily

Prices of Dairy Products.

One OF the largest houses in the produce
business in New York has issued circular
in which they draw attention to the fact
that the cost of the products of the dairy
is now so great as to materially curtai the
consumption, especially on butter, while at
the same time the production has increased.
They believe that dairy products can no
longer resist the general shrinkage in val
ues, and that all the indications point to
such reaction in prices as will revive the
dropping demand. They say
"We recommend all milk buyers with
whom we have any influence to make their
contracts, at from 30 to 20 per cent less
than they haye been doing for some time
past. We do not mean to argue that but
ter and cheese will not be wanted in the
future as in the past, but we do claim that
prices must sooner or later come down, in
keeping with other articles of American
produce and we believe that we are now
In that transition state which will change
butter and cheese from articles of luxury
to those of necessity, and prices accord
ingly.
The new York Bulletin pronounces these
suggestions well-timed, and expresses the
opinion that the price of butter during the
season just closing has been too high both
tor producer and receiver, and has served
the interests of neither. The Bulletin adds
that producers must modify their expecta-
tons on forthcoming crops, as the result of
the extremely high prices prevailing this
season has been to frighten off the great
mass of buyers, and greatly curtail the
home demand for export lies almost entire
ly dormant.

The United States district judge has deci-
ded in the case of Buell., arrested for an al
legged libel on "Zack," published in the De-
troit FREQ Press, that the so-called "press-
gag law" isn't any such kind of law. In
rendering his decision, he paid left-handcd
compliment to the attorney general and the
district attorney by saying that the indict-
ment was evidently framed to cover case
under the judiciary act of 1880, but that
they had not succeeded, and that, under it,
"Buell was guilty of no offense OF which
the court could take cognizance." The
district attorney gave notice of an ap-
peal, being inclined 10 see whether OF not
he knows enough to draw an indictment,
and whether Butler and Carpenter know
enough to frame law to meet the cases
they evidently intended" to meet. Buell.
will not be taken to Washington for trial,
but this appeal shows the animus of the
prosecution and the purpose for which the
law was urged by Chandler, Carpenter aud
Butler. Judge Poland, it will be remem-
bered, reported the bill, but he knew better
the effect thereof than did those who
sought its passage-and the judiciary COM
mttee of the senate first, and, now, Judge
Treat, have sustained his construction of the

That doubtful things are mighty unsartin"
SO the wings sung in 1874, but found
that the "unsartintY'' was with them, and
that "such nominee as Jimmy Polk of
Tennessee" could be elected President. So
now we fear that the "ursartinty" in
New Hampshire will be resolved in the
success of the democracy. But the returns
ale somewhat mixed, and as Chief Justice
Spencer used TO say, nothing short of inf
mite wisdom, even If that could, can tell
the result of contested election. 1t seems
now-no one can tell how il will appear
an hour hence-that there is no election of
state officers by the people, that two, at
at least, democrats have been elected to
congress, while both parties claim ma
jority in the council, senate and house, but

that the official count can alone deter
