The ALD1NE.-The handsomest and best
publication in America is the Aldine. and
the current number just received is gem in
all that is beautiful and excellent. The ex-
ceeding care bestowed upon this journal by
its publishers not only in the choice of origi-
nal papers and in engravings, but in typo
graphical execution, places it foremost in
the ranks Of literary and artistic productions.
In short there is nothing like it. The money
spent on trashy reading would be better ex.
pended on the Aldine, and we heartily COM
mend it to our readers as a pleasant and
agreeable medium for the cultivation of q
taste for the beautiful and good. The price
is Sc, postage prepaid, and the address is
The Aldine Company, New York.

The NEW YORK OBsERvER.-This best

The Tax Bills.

The majority Of the House, under
the urgent advice of Gov. Chamber
lain, have at last taken better counsel
and reduced the tax bills. The Com
mittee of Ways and Means, called by
the Nevs d Courier the "Picked
Nine" were defeated. The present
participle would better qualify the
said "pine." They seemed to be de-
termined to do the picking even of
the last shred of meat off the nearly
bare bones of the Taxpayers. They
were picked to do the picking. 1t
dawned at last, however, upon their
minds thatif the Governor should veto
their appropriations-which he seem
ed determined to do-and the bills
could not be passed over his head the
party might seriously suffer. 1t is
not very common for Governor to
enter caucus for the purpose of IN
fuencing its action. We can certain
" find no fault with him in this case
as he succeeded to have the taxes re-
duced at least one mill. In this In
stance he has certainly tried his best
and tried successfully to convert his
promises into deeds. We recollect q
similar beneficial action on his part
during the pending election for Judge
of the Charleston Circuit.
The Supply Bill has been cut down
from 10} to 81 mills, at which figure
it passed its final reading iu the House.

PRESBYTERIANS.

Previous to 1910 about 1000 Presby-
terians arrived in this country from
Scotland and Ireland. In 1854 a small
colony of prosecuted Scotch, under Lord
Cardross, came 10 this State. In 1904
Presbyterv was constituted in Phila-
delphia. In 1716 Synod was formed.
In l7SS there were four Synods, which
organized the General Assembly in
1850.

National Republican., 1875-07-31

So LONG as Colonel w. NJ Grosvenor, of
st. Louis, remained loyal to the so-called
principles of the Liberal Republican party,
and thereby rendered direct aid to the
Democracy, the Democratic press was con-
tent to pass him by with questionable allu-
sions in the way of faint praise. Now,
however, that he is expected to take part
in the Ohio canvass in support of the regu-
lar Republican ticket, the Cincinnati En-
quirer says:
'sWe understand that there is document in
the Office of the st. Louis Republican which. If
published, would keep Mr.. Grosyenor off the
stump. Perhaps we can obtain 1t in time to
give zest to his canvass in Ohio"
By all means let this document be pub
lished, it is in existence, 30 that we may
know what character of thing it is that,
from Democratic standpoint, will prevent
q Liberal Republican from taking the stump
against rag money.
National Republican., 1875-07-31

Liar and struck by the Democratic district at
torney In the courtroom. Whereupon Judge
Nancy, Democrat, fined them both fifty dol
lars. Oh, Democratic justice. Oh, most
righteous judge. Shortly after the attorney
called the judge "snother," and now the fol-
lowers Of both are prowling around armed to
the teeth In search of each other.
The press and some of the more fastidi..
Gus Of our people are putting in strong pro-
tests against the pull-back dress which at
present gives such delightful picture of the,
form divine. A full-front dress would not
suit them q bi. better. Nothing but knee
high-my-hee style will do. Nehemiah has
nothing to do with 1t, however. He was 8
good man.
Imitation sentiment seems TO be spreading
among the Democracy Of Indiana. The Indi-
annapolis Sentinel has been turned around, and
is henceforth to be an imitation journal. As It
is the leading Democratic organ Of the State
the change is significant. Now, II "Golden
Greenbacks" will deliver his gilded speech on
imitation hard-money the Sentinel will have
enough argument on both sides sufficient for
the campaign.
- The Nashville Union and Herald says:
"The North whipped the South by issuing
greenbacks, and now, when the South has &C.
cepted the situation and asks for more cur
rency Of the same sort, the men who issued Il
! turn around and abuse Us for fayoring rag
money! We do not see where the consistency
comes In" It slides In In the fact that the
old weapon Is worn out, and Is to q certain
degree unserviceable, and will not meet the
requirements Of the age. We have the expe-
rience Of ten years Of wonderful progress since
then, but the inhationists don't seem to real
-ize It.
Over one hundred and ffty cotton-mills
have suspended operations In one district in Eng
land. The production Of cotton cloths the
past few years has been enormous. The In
crease has exceeded the demand. The country
is oyerstocked with the fabrics, and the mills
being unable to find ready and active market
for their material, have been compelled to close.
As soon as the superabundant stock has In
measure been exhausted, the mills will again
set in motion their spindles and their looms,
but until then twelve thousand workingmen
will be out Of employment, and to be out of
employment during these hard times means
starvation.
The Democratic party will discover the
night of the first Tuesday in November that
the language of vituperation has in It none of
the logic that persuades, and that lies, no mat
ter how often repeated, gain no votes. Dem
ocrats, to win success, must show some other
reason why they should be advanced to power
than the mere ability to pick flaws in the
record of party which has done so much for
the country during the past fifteen years. The
people are not so anxious for change that they
will accept the rule Of party whose promises
are like the sands of the sea-changing with
every tide, and who are eminent solely for
their abusive qualities Harrisburg Telegraph.
National Republican., 1875-07-31

THE Richmond Rhig, speaking for the
Southern Democracy, joins most emphati-
cally in the pledge that the South will not
claim place on the next National Demo
cratic ticket. We are equally confident
that the Southern Republicans will Iadopt
the same policy regarding the ticket of their
party. 1t will, nevertheless, turn out that
the Southern wings of both parties will
control the nominations and dictate the
policy to be announced in their platforms.
This is as it should be. The Southern
Democrats, by preserving their loyalty to
the doctrine of State Rights, have retained
the very basis of all Democratic principle,
while the Southern Republicans, by always
keeping in view the meaning and intent OF
the war amendments to the Constitution and
the Reconstruction acts, have succeeded in
preserving nucleus around which the
Republicans of the nation may rally with
an assurance of future consistency as re-
CARDS their party record.

CUBA.
Opinions OF the Press.

CFrom tie New York Evening Express,1
The Notwithstanding of course, Cuba and
Porto Rico-are, however, to be governed bv
especial laws" and are to elect deputies to the
Cortes by a especial system which will be
enacted at a fitting time" This bears yery
much the appearance of a return to the old
oppressive system of colonial government, and
is calculated to cause increased antagonism on
the part of the Cubans towards the mother
country.
CFrom the PhiladelphIa InquIrer.J
1t is not even equal to a tub to a whale
which the Spanish Cortes proposes to offer to
the Island of Cuba. The. Committee on the
Constitution and the President of the Minis
terial Council have, after grave consultation,
agreed that something ought to be done in set
tlement of the position which the West India
Colonies shall occupy toward the government
Of Old Spain. The conference does not seem
to have developed the possession of ADEQUATE
ideas of the necessities of the case among the
parties who were engaged in it. The founda-
tion of the system is that which was tried by
Great Britain upon the American colonies last
century, and which led to revolution and indie
pendence. The idea is that the West India
islands shall be governed by special laws.
That is, that they shall be governed by
laws made in Spain. They are already
governed by laws made in Spain, and
the result OF that sort of supervision
is intense dissatisfaction on the part
of the Cubans, which has ripened into
insurrection and war. This was the sys
TEN under Isabella, and 1t was followed during
the administrations of Prim, Amadeus, Cas-
telar and Alfonso, and it has not given peace
to Cuba, and cannot do so. But there is
compensation prepared for by these consulting
authorities at Madrid, which is to be conferred
at some time in the future. The West India
colonies are to be allowed representation in
the national Cortes: but not now, not until
''the Ever Faithful Isle," as she was once
called, re-earns her right to that title. After
Cuba has been conquered, and every spark of
the fire of independence trodden out, Spain
will allow her representation in the National
Cortes, by elections, however, which are to
be regulated according to a special system
which will be enacted at fitting time"
Could there be anything more trihing, in face
of the serious difficulties which exist in the
Spanish West Indies, than a proposition like
this.
tFrom the N. Y. Herald.l ..
The Cuban patriots, Notwithstanding the as
surances Of the Spanish officials of the Ever
Faithful Isle, are more lively and progressive
than ever. An immense convoy has been cap.
tured by the "rebels" between Puerto Principe
and Guaimaro, half Of its escort being placed
hors du combat, and near Remedies the Cubans
drove Spanish column back to their intrench
ments, after capturing their baggage and mill
tary supplies. Poor Valmaseda is back again
in Havana, asking for money, but the bankers
give him the cold shoulder. The patriots not
having accepted his portentous declaration of
amnesty, be is in the worst possible humor.
