Of course the chief business at Washington in these days is president making The Re- publican preferences are decidedly stalwart The Grant ''boom' is lessening, somewhat, Blaine being evidently the favorite of most stalwart politicians. Sherman is working shrewdly, but with the chances against him. Washburne, Hawley, or some other Clark horse' may perhaps win after all. The Dem- ocrats are even more completely at sea. Til den has paled almost out of sight since the New York election. Bayard is their best man, but the Western Democracy detest his sound financial views, and Tilden is also said to op- pose him. Ex-Gov. English looms up as possible selection, and there is fully as much doubt on the Democratic as on the Republican side of the political fence.

ABOUT RUBBER BooTs. Undue competition between manufacturers has led to an extent of adulteration and cheapening of material never before known in the business. Crude rubber has the quality of absorbing or of becoming incorporated with very large quantity of cheap and bulky substances, like lamp-black. chalk &c., which can not be detected by the uninifated, and which impair the durability of the goods. People call for low priced goods, not reflecting that low prices always mean low, quality. The result is they waste money on ''wild cat" Rubber Boots, when an extra dollar or two would buy them pair which will wear to their utmost satisfaction whole season and more. The ''95 Per Cent" Boot, described in another eeanmn, is meant to reform this abuse, and is Wolsn s 1ne aasraotion of those in need of real

As counting board, the Democratic State officers of Maine seem to equal, if they do not excel, the worst rascalities of the Southern Re- turning boards It is now confidently assert ed that, by trunped up objections, They have counted down the Republicans in the next House of Representatives from 90 to 5S- and have counted up the Democrats from 61 to 7S-all on alleged technicalitles and informali- ties. They also count out eight Republican Senators, giving the Democrats large majori- ty in that branch also. We can hardly believe that so discreditable report can be true If it is true, it will damn Democracy in Maine as completely as the like proceedings have damned Republicanism in Louisiana.

The Tribune correspondent from Paris writes of an interesting interview he recently had with Gambetta, in which that remarkable man speaks in confident terms of the progress that will be made in France under the impulse of the judicious reforms which he thinks the Assembly sure to adopt. One matter he con- siders of prime importance the better educa- lion of women. So long as all French women are brought up bigots, he believes that the re- public will be in constant danger, and to meet the difficulty national system of higher edu- cation for girls will soon be proposed:
 GAmbetta is persuaded that if girls are not educated up to the level of the Republican ideal the Republic will fall down to their mo- tion of what it ought to be. It will become a disguised monarchy or theocracy, until the time IS ripe for the Pope and Cesar to advance upon the stage and invest themselves with all pow CT. Gambretta said the best advisers he ever had-Hot alone as to the conduct of his private live. tut in politics-were good women, whose minds were emancipated from sacerdotal tyr amy. The French woman, Tn his opinion, is A nsarsellously gifted creature, and would be, d emaneipated. simply peerless. It was of vital importance to the commonwealth that the fullest justice should be done to the girl hood of France.
 1t is greatly to be regretted that the politi. cians who pass for statesmen in America were not gifted with an equally wise foresight.

The defeat of the woman candidates for po- sitions on the Boston school board has aroused much comment in the papers The Boston correspondent of the Springfield Republican speaks of it as follows:
 The defeat of the women nominated for the school board IS due to various causes; some men scratched the womans names maliciously to ''get even" with them for obtaining the privilege to vote; others were influenced by school teachers opposed to women on the school board, and others by ex-Superintendent Philbrick and hls friends who desire to rein- state him over Superintendent Eliot There are those also who say that the Catholic ques- tion entered quietly into the election, and that the Catholic interest was generally against the wOmen-a statement which to say the least needs confirmation. But though their candi- dates of their own sex are defeated, the women are congratulating themselves over the election of all their male candidates; and also over their reception at the polls. Every courtesy and attention was shown them. and they found . the experience quite an agreeable one
