We fail to find anything to commend IN
the conduct of either Republicans or Demo
Gratis in the contest now going on in the
House of Representatives over the Civil Rights
bill. However excellent the principle of the
original bill of Mr. Sumner, the measure in
either of the forms now presented, is not so
important that its consideration should block
the way of all other business. There is more
stubbornness than craftsmanship in the strug-
gle. The sooner it ends the better.
The members of the NewYOrk Society OF
Practical Engineers, who closed their discus
sions last evening, turned their attention to
one subject of paramount importance at this
time. Snow in the streets OF the city soon
becomes an offense to every sense, but the
practical engineers, while discussing every In
yention for removing it, so far produced,
unfortunately did not recommend anything
better than the carts and shOvels of the
Police Department. But they expressed hopes
for the future.
NJ. Laboulaye wants the French Assembly
to embody in the Constitutional bills before
il the positive statement that the Government
in France is republican. His proposition Is
certainly moderate enough, and it is not
astonishing that NJ. Louis Blanc and his
associates regard it with disfavor. What is
more astonishing is that the telegram which
brings this information conveys by .tmplica-
ton the idea that NJ LabOulaye's proposition
might possibly be adopted if there were per-
feet harmony among the Republicans. Here
tofore the majority has been too rigidly at
tached to the mOnarchical principle to give
any reason for brilliant hopes in this respect.
The Receivers Of the New-York and Oswego
Midland Railroad have filed a petition in the
United States Circuit Court asking for instruc-
tons, in view of the embarrassment under
which the road labOrs from recent seizures
made upon its property, and upon the
property Of others transported by 1t. The
manifold evils which would result from stop
ping the road in the Winter season are re-
ferred to in the petition. Those who know
what plucky and DISTINGUISHED struggle has
been made by the Receivers against over
whelming difficulties, and who understand
the distress into which many would be
plunged by the abandonment of all opera
tons on the line will hope that way may
be found out of its misfOrtunes.

The aggravated difficulties of Winter travel
In the city may well give spur to the efforts
for rapid transit A sudden emphasis to the
interest felt in the subject has been given,
and new wave of associated and individual
effort has been started. The Mayors message
TO the Common Council upon the great need
Of the city is fraught with sensible suggestion.

The returns of the foreign trade of Great Britain
and Ireland for the year 1874 have been published.
Both exports and imports show a falling off as COM
pared with 1873. The decrease i'll the value of the
former including British produce and manufactures
only is S78,OOO,Q00, or little more than six per
cent. The decline in the value of the imports is
about $l0O0O,0O0, or One-half of one per cent THE
TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1875 contains some very in
terestlng statistics of the foreign trade of Great
Britain since 1854. In the last 81 years there is only
one other year in which the British export trade
makes so unfavOrable comparison with the pre-
cedng year as it does for the year just ended. For
nineteen successive months, beginning with June.
1873 the value of the exports of British produce and
manufactures has shown a decrease each month
from the figures of the preceding year. revival of
trade has been expected for some time. but there
are no signs as yet of its actual beginning. The
quantity of iron and iron manufactures exported
has fallen from 3S3OOO tons in 1872 to 24S70OO tons
in 1874. The great staple article of export however,
is manufactured cotton, and the totals show 1908
million yards exported in 1874 against 3,483 million
yards in 1873. The value of cotton manufactures Of
all kinds exported in 1874 was S275OO) $780, against
S2S2 900 in 1873. The raw material has been
cheaper III 1874 than it was in 1873. The manufac-
lures of wool and linen give more unfavOrabe
showing than those Of cotton, having fallen OIL both
i'll quantity and value.

The Most Remarkable Remedy Ever Discovered


Bzssoa's cAPc1NB POROUS PLASTER.
At no time In the history OF true medicine has
an article appeared which has met with greater
approval and success than Benson's Capcine
Plaster. Why they are preferred to all other
porous plasters is owing to their improved CON-
position; they act instantaneously, cure speedily
and effectually.
Physicians and the general public who acknowl-
edge the great benefits derived from the use of
the ordinary porous plaster, however, maintain
that their action Is not sufficiently prompt, re-
Quiring time, patience and continuous wear to
effect q cure. Bensons Capcine Plaster over
comes this difficulty by accomplishing in few
hours that which 1t takes any other plaster as
many days
stance has been pronounced the most remarkable,
safe, certain and thoroughly efticacious remedy
ever discovered.
Incorporating Capcine in an improved Porous
Plaster has been accomplished after repeated So
ncltstions from the medical fraternity, and is
now prescribed by them with unprecedented sue
cess; especially in rheumatism, pleurisy. stub
born colds, kidney complaints ard all diseases
for which porous plaster has been used.
Its marvellous influence over the circulation
ible; from the moment of its application to the
affected part IL operates with astonishing vigor-
brings relief ana cures more etfectually than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
the highest order Of merritt fits Ingredients are en-
tirely vegetable and free from mineral or metal
poisons. One trial will convince the most skep-
tical OF Its superiority over the ordinary porous
plasters. When you desire prompt and immediate
relief, ask your druggist for Benson's Oapcine

The paper tarreI, some time ago proposed and

article, Is icing rapidly introduced. The con-
struetion Of this barrel is unique. It is made Of
successive layers Of ordinary straw paper board

to On enormous pressure, the result Of which Is o
compact sheet Of confidsrsbls thickness, and, 1t
is said, Of far greater resisting force than the
same thickness of the toughest wood that Is
