The falling or In the production of the
British coal mines, and the steady advance
In price In consequence, Is q matter OF no
little solicitude on that side OF the water, as
the ability Of England to maintain her COM
petition in manufacturing with the rest of
the world depends on the maintenance of the
supply OF cheap fuel. As her manufactures
are the source Of her prosperity and wealth,
anything that threatens them Is q serious
matter. The London Times has given con-
siderable attention lately in its editorial
columns 10 the subject Of American manu-
factures, and II comes to the conclusion that
In the United States, England has now DOW
erful competitors In all branches OF Industry,
and especially In that which IL considered
Its own-the iron trade. The Centennial ex-
hibition has, Ii says, brought together such
IN assem- blage Of the products OF American
industry as TO impress the visitor with
strong sense of the manufacturing activity
OF the United States. In pointing the moral
which adorns the tale, the Times holds that
the British people should not learn to resign
themselves TO permanent exclusion from
the markets In which the United States ms
ufactures compete with it, aud should esti :.
mate more justly the conditions on which
business should be conducted in the future.

The Maine Election.

The Indications are that Maine has gone
republican by about thirteen thousand ma
jority. This Is q republican gain Of between
nine and ten thousand on last years vote,
but does rot reach the majority OF the last
Presidential year, 1872. The figures last
year were: Conner, republican, 6,sI2;
Roberts, democrat, SO, 800; scattering, 50;
Corners majority, 3, S22. The aggregate vote
last year was Ill ,702, and If as reported by
teles raph, the aggregate this year reaches
134 900, the increase has been % 900, which
is q larger increase in the total vote than
had been counted upon. In the election OF
1872 Perhau, republican, had II ,sSS; KIM
ball, democrat, IS ,343, and Perhams majority
In q total vote OF 127 ,266 was Is $40. In 1873
the majority was L, 1858, and In 1874, Il, 1877,
making the average for the last four years
1I,46s.
The republicans this year seem to have
swept the entire Congressional districts,
despite the bolt In the 1st and 4th districts
and the reported disafection in the 5th,
eugene Hale's.) Two years ago the vote In
the Congressional districts stood as follows

Our dispatches to- day are to the effect that
the republicans now carry the LIST district by
1000 majority; the ID by 1900; the Sd by
$500; the 4th by 1000; and the 5th by $500; or
an aggregate majority OF IL 900, despite the
bolts.
The legislature will apparently be almost
wholly republican. Last year eleven OF the
81 senators and 60 Of the Isl representatives
were democrats.
On the whole the republicans have reason
to claim a substantial success, though their
majority does not quite come up TO the flood
tide Of 1872. We think the result In Maine
will be generally accepted a. encouraging
for the prospects Of the republicans In the
national contest In Nnvamher

A report Ii In circulation that Carl Schurz
has written 70 friend In Washington, ga
prominent republican," that the German
vote OF Ohio Is almost solid for Tilden, and
that unless some energetic measures are
taken to afect change OF opinion In that
element Ohio will certainly go democratic.
As diligent enquiry has failed to develop
who the prominent republican Is that re-
ceived the letter, and as IL would seem to be
O trifie unlikely that prominent republic
can would divulge the contents OF letter
making such damaging admissions 1t will
perhaps be well enough TO walt for more
definite Information before placing Ohio In
the democratic column ON the strength Of
this reported concession OF the fact by Carl
SchuIz.

The American Free Dress League, which
held Its third annual meeting in PhiIa-
delphia the other day, adopted resolutions
denouncing the present fashion OF female
attire and demanding reform. The present
style was stigmatized ~ inhumau, extrava-
CANT and facilitating. There is no doubt
aboutlt; but now let the League tell rs just
what kind OF reform In dress they want
ME- Aerriweather, of Tennessee, took the
ground that the costume OF the members of
the League would not I'LL the bill, being too
unattractive. The resolutions declare that
the "gamenture OF women should be of
dual form for the legs a. well as the arms, as
their use and all reason dictats;" but let the
members OF the League givs the country an
Idea Of just what they mean by wearing q
specimen dress Of this kind. Certainly none
OF the reform dresses yet exhibited seem to
have met the popular taste.

the following which may be safely pro-
nounced untrue. About the only man
answering the description is now in Wash
ington
lie hadn't any baggage, and after one
look at him the rush-boy walked away
and set down. The average brush-boy
of the average hotel knows when he can
brush a quarter out of guest just as well
as if he were a lawyer. The stranger
wrote his name on the register with great
delberatlon. 1t was a long name. 1t
read, "Herbert Henry Washington, Chic
cago, H." The clerk regarded him for
a moment with keen glance, aud then
asked:
GLOW long will you remain here ?"
about week." was the reply.
"Shall credit you with SlOpaid in ad
vance ?"
"Who are you talking to ?" demanded
the stranger stepping back little.
"Strangers generally pay in advance" b"
said the clerk.
"Well, sir, III be hanged, sir, if was
ever insuIted before Ask me for money
in advance! Why, sir, do you know
that 1 could buy this hotel and still have
millions left ?"
81 have my orders"
Gam | to be treated like dead beatv'
continued the stranger. "When man
comes to Detroit to lend 5000, 600 on a
mortgage, do your people look upon him
as sl<ull and a theft"
"My orders are positive" quietly re-
Piled the clerk.
~ want to see the owner of this hotel ,
and want TO take him to the Board OF
Trade, the Mayors office, and to the wa
ter works, and | want him to find out
the kind of man | am"
"The proprietor isn't in"
"You don't know me-you don't realize
who am ~ exclaimed the stranger tap
ping the Office counter with every pause.
81 didn't care to be known but since you
have insulted me | want to inform you
that am the Rothschild Of the West ~
The clerk started off with letter to his
girl, but had only got as far as "beloved
Sarah" when the stranger yelled out :
."|Vho advanced money to Chicago to
complete her water-works Who owns
twenty light steam boats and six tugs
Who owns six elevators and one hundred
miles of railroad 2" II don't know" was
the reply. "And yet, when | come into
this house | am insulted us if | were n
loater !" continued the stranger. "Why,
sir, come to the bank with me, sir, and
see ifmy check for $50, 600 will be dishon-
ored ~ "I'll go ~ said the clerk, putting
on his hat. you will eh ?" "Yes, sir -
"You needn't go. | wouldn't stop here
if you'd give me thousand dollars day.
III go to some other house, and when
spring opens I'll buy IA site next to you
and build hotel ofmy own and run your
house out of sight ="
Call an officer" said the clerk to one
of the boys.
"Tha's the crowning insult" shouted
the man. "But III bide my time. I'll
go over to the other tavern and send over
$50, 600 check for you to look at, and
no matter how sorry you feel, sir, I'll not
accept an apology, sir-blast me if l
do"
lie went out and at noon was seen eat
