HAYES'S SOUTHERN PoLICY.-Thc re-
publicans who represent Gov. Hayes here
says that Fosters speech was carefully
prepared and that it ioretels the policy of
the next administration toward the South.
The establishment of the Nichols govern
ment in Louisiana and the Hampton gov
eminent in South Carolina is recognized by
the Hayes men rs inevitable, and they say
that nothing will be done to prevent that
result Some of them do not yet see how
Mr.. Hayes will be able to recognize these
governors without admitting his own
election to be fraudulent and appearing to
kick out from under him the ladder by
which he climbs into the White House.
But Stanley Mathews holds that there is a
way in which Hayes can recognize Mich.
oils without casting any discredit upon his
own election. Mr.. Mathews is under
stood to be an advocate of the recognition
of Nichols, and others of the HAYES
coterie talk as if this was IL matter Of
course. Those who do not favor an i'm
mediate recognition Of the democratic
governors by Hayes think that by contin.

ants will be crowded out, and the author.
lily of both Hampton and Nichols will
become supreme. The southern demo.
Gratis are satisfied that the Hayes men in
tend to allow this result to be attained. and
this is one of the reasons why so many
southern men are opposed to any fac
tious opposition to the counting of the
electoral vote. The promises that are be.
ing secretly made that the Texas Pacific
subsidy shall he passed are also having a
considerable effect in the same direction.

TIE VENoMoUs SrITz.-One of the
Committees of the Massachusetts Legisla-
turo has lately been making an investiga.
ton into the peculiar character Of Spitz
dogs, which have recently become I'M
pleasantly notorious by reason Of the
many cases of hydrophUbia being directly
traceable to them. The testimony produc-
cd seems to show that the Spita dog is
venomous even when not mad. Physical
ly, saws the New York Herald, there is
nothing improbable in the theory. When
the bite of SO mild an animal as the com
mon skunk causes death, rs it invariably
does within certain climate boundaries in
the United States, II bad tempered family
of dogs, in whose blood there is wildness
and savagery not characteristic of the
breed of dogs which have been longer do
mesticated, may be suspected of any de-
gree of iniquity. 1t is thought that the
Legislature will pass bill, passing SEN
euce of death upon Ill Spitz dogs in tho
State.

THE BUILDING PROSPECT.

Newspaper property is about the worst
thing to have in New York. The HerU'd
which used to make profit III seven or
eight hundred thousand tollars per year,
is only II littlc more than paying its eX-
penses. 1t charges 40 cents IL line for adj
vertising, and gets all the wants, " for
sales,' and what is known as the servant
girl advertising. But the servant girls
haven't got any money now, and its pages
are bare. The Tribune is losing money,
the Times is Just holding its OWN, and
hardly that, the San is making something,
but not much, and the rest are sinking
money. People have no more interest in
newspapers than they have in anything
else, but nothing so well and truly indi-
Gates the condition of business rs the con-
dition of the newspapers. The hard times
cuts off circulation, and in bad times there
is nothing to induce the advertiser to make
investments. There are no bonds selling
now, the manufacturers are selling close
to the wind, the times are too hard for
swindles even, and SO the revenues of the
newspapers are cut down very close. They
are all struggling along, however, hoping
with everybody else for the good times
that are TO come,
