Cincinnati Enquirer's Washington
special: Hayes will do a good deal
of missionary work for the Repub-
lican party during his Ohio trip.
Those who arrange the hurrah and
enthusiasm will conveniently have
him appear at the rear end of the
car in which he travels, and eXpa-
iiate on the Southern policy, which
he can claim as "my policy" He
will abstain from any utterances on
the financial topic, and will leave
that branch of business to JOhh
Sherman. or course, if both drop a
few political remarks, it must not be
construed by the cynical as a viola
ton of the order fOrbidding office
holders to engage in political cam
paigns. "The king can do no
wrong" and Hayes never was elect
ed to the office he holds. In strict
legal sense, he can hardly be called
an Office-hOlder. The cabinet is
worried good deal about the South
ern trip, and if Hayes concludes to
return by way of the Southern
States, it is an open question wheth-
er they viii not mOnOpOlize all the
time for speech-making by explain
ing what he meant by his New Eng
land speeches.

.mer,can COTTON goods in Eng.

American Cotton Goods in Eng
land.
A late number of the London
World, insalluding to the fact that
American made cotton goods are be-
coming quitefrequent in the English
market, says:
Nothing more important has
ever happened in the history of
English trade than the threatened
displacement of our cotton manu-
features by those of America. Yet
we have for months looked in vain
for a word in the" leading journals"
on the subject. Piece goods from
the Lonsdale Mills, of New York
State, are now sold in every town
in England at lower price and of
better quality than English goods
of a nOminally corresponding grade.
The fact is that the Americans are
beating us in our own field; a fact
which it may take the political
economists and city editors long
time to digest, but which, unfOrtu-
nately. will soon be brought to us
ali by the spectacle of thousands OF
wOrkingmen thrown permanently
out of employment and the hopeless
paralysis of a chief source of our
commercial prosperity.

important 70 American Mechanics.

Important TO American Mechanics.
\ dispatch has been received at
the Department of State from the
United States Consul at Liverpool,
referring to the fact that thirty-five
iOiners have recently landed at that
port, for Manchester, under a con-
tract to work at their trade for a
given number of months. These
men were brought over to take the
places of the English ioiners who
were on a strike for higher wages.
Referring to the landing of Ameri-
car mechanics under contract, and
the published statements in some
American newspapers that fewer
men are out of employment in Eng
land than in the United States, the
Consul SOlemnly warns our mechan-
les against the danger of putting
these statements to the test. These
reports have induced many Ameri-
can mechanics to leave the country
for the purpose of lettering their
condition, and the result has been a
large amount of suffering and desti-
tuition. 70 avoid any further aug
mentatiOn of their suffering the
Consul requests that public warning
be given to American workmen
not to go to England unless under
positive contract. Able bodied
American workmen are daily calling
upon the Consulate for relief. These
men are greatly disappointed when
they learn that COnsuls have no
funds for such reliefpurpOses. Under
these circumstances the Consul
deems it his duty to inform the
State Department that neither
skilled nor unskilled wOrkmen who
come from abroad can find employ
ment in England.

The satelIite. Of Mnrs.

The discovery within the past
week of the two satellites of Mars by
Professor Hall, of the Naval Observ-
atory, is one of those interesting
events that mark the advance of as
Economical science, and is, therefore,
deserving of more than ordinary
notice. Apart from the fact that
this recent discovery supplies the
valueOfan unknown quantity which
astronomers were forced to admit in
their calculations regarding the
planets nearer thesun than our earth,
we recognize the enormous adVan-
tages to science that must arise out
of possession of the means of obser-
walton that can so splendidly reward
research. Hitherto the power of the
telescope did not enable US to notice
the positions of planets below GER
tain magnitude, but gradual inn
provements have been taking place
in the manufacture of instruments
by which their power is raised to
that necessary for the detection OF
such relatively small bodies as the
satellites of Mars. The great re-
tractor recently constructed for the
Naval Observatory has been the
means of securing for the United
States this latest astronomical tri-
umph. This, with the skill and eX-
perfence of our scientific observers,
secure the most gratifying results.
Professor Hall and his assistants de-
serve the highest praise for their
successful labors, and will doubtless
further enrich our scientific records
as the means of doing so progress in
efficiency. Our special despatch
from Washington this morning gives
some interesting details regarding
the "little strangers" Now that
Mars is in the ascendant and the
sounds of war come from distant
Europe it is pleasant to note that our
victories are in the peaceful fields OF
astronomy, and not in the blood.
