A correspondent of the Boston Transcript there is now living within forty miles of Bos- ton gentleman, in the full possession of his mental and physical faculties, who well re- members contemporary of passengers who came in the Mayfower, when she landed the Pilgrims in 1920. The gentleman referred to is Mr. William Thomas born in Plymouth, March, 1789. He well remembers Ebenezer and lived to the age of 107 years, months and days, dying in 1901. Ebenezer Cobb WAS five yeass old at the death of Mary (Aller- tom Cushman, the daughter of Isaac Aller- ton, one of the Mayfower pilgrims, and her self one of the 101 persons who sailed from Southampton. She was eleven years old when she landed at Plymouth, and she died in 1899, at the age of ninety. It is not said that Ebe- nezer Cobb remembered Mrs. Cushman, but he did distinctly remember Peregrine White, who was born on the Mayhower in Cape Cod harbor, and described his funeral as he saw it, himself boy of ten, in 1704.
 The astronomer of the Providence Journal writes under the heading 'Great Storm in the Sun :'' Observers of the sun found indi- cations of intense commotion on the 11th, 18th and 18th of August.

It is significantly observed that while the annual production of the American silk fac tories has reached total of 10000, 900, the importations of foreign silk goods for the last fiscal year reached $32, ,O00, 900. The question now is, shall the domestic industries be crushed out by the abolition of the pro- tective duties and the flooding of the country with enormous quantities of foreign goods, or shall the American mills obtain the com. mand of the home market?

Said one of the most prominent manufactu- rers of Connecticut day or two since: 'I wish all the workingmen in the State could have overheard conversation which I had yester day with an English manufacturer. After show ing him through our mills I inquired what was the English price for the same class of work. He replied About twelve shillings a week This is about fifty cents day, while the price here is from three to four times as much'' If the workingmen want low wages and little work, let them vote for ia tariff for revenue only"

The Republican State committee of Michi- gan has issued a stirring address congratu- lating the people of the State upon it's long and prosperous career under Republican ad- ministrations, appealing to them to send unanimous Republican delegation to the next Congress, and proudly saying: "As party we have no apology to make; we do not fight on the defensive; we are confident of suc- cess, and our confidence is based upon the knowledge that we are right We recognize with grateful sensibility the extraordinary prosperity now prevailing among all the busi ness interests of the country, insuring ren1u- nerative employment to labor, markets to manufactures and produce, profit to com merce, and hopeful future to every branch of industry. No period since the republic was formed has offered such boundless as- surances of success to thrift as the present, and it would be the widest folly to disturb this magnificent prospect by intrusting the Government to party that has no de- fined ideas of legislation in either finance or commerce"

The first of the sOctober elections will take place in this State next Monday, when town officers will be chosen. Neither of the two great parties will, however, be much elated or depressed by the result, and the stocks bought and sold in Wall street will not be seriously affected. In addition to the elec- tion of town officers constitutional amend ment is also to be voted on, giving the gov ernor the nomination of judges for the high CT courts. These judgeships have hitherto been at the disposal of party caucus, but it is hoped that the governor will be less liable to yield to mere partisan considerations An arbitrary use of the one-man power is also guarded against by requiring both branches of the Legislature to approve the governors choice.

It is pity that all the southern newspa- pers are not as bold and sensible the Vicksburg (Miss.) HerdEd. A Mississippi newspaper having tried to extenuate the State's act of repudiation years ago, the HeraEd examines the plea and concludes that ''those people who would defend the course which bequesthed us this stain have under taken one labor greater than all the seven done by Hercules. It also says: ''The first thing that ever riveted our attention to this repudiation was when rich planter, in whose honesty we had every confidence, asserted that he would willingly pay double his amount of the tax necessary to pay the inter est and a sinking fund to finally wipe out the stain against the State. He declared vehe- mently that he never left the State that he was not stung to madness by allusions to it. These remarks put us to rejecting"

Richmond IVA Commonwealth,
Where was the Republican vote of
the State of Virginia cast in the late
election? 1t was cast for the gang of
regulators that this day defle the
legislation halls of the State of Vir-
GINA. The negroes, who constitute
the Republican party of the State, cast
their votes solidly for regulators for
the legislature.
Where was the vote Of the rebel
b~rigadiers' cast in that election? II
was cast solidly, with one exception,
for making our State pay the debt
that she owes.
The ranks Of Confederate officers
above the grade Of brigadier-generals
who reside in the State of Virginia
may be scanned, and it will be found
that there is but one who tolerates the
idea Of population, and that is one
Major : General William Malone.
Every other one insists and demands
that the State shall pay her debt. W.

Smaller Papers or Larger Price
Milwaukee Sentinel

There never was, in the history of
newspapers, a period as distressing as
this. During the war the price OF
print-paper was high, but the adver-
tising patronage was far greater than
it is how. The recent advance in the
price Of print pal er has been almost
80 per cent, with an advance in the
price of type, fuel, etc. Under this
pressure many papers have been CON-
PEELED to increase the rates Of adver-
Using, reduce the expenses of publica.
ton by making smaller papers, OF

Life or Death for the COnntr,
Press.

La Crosse Republican,
The great advance in the price of
paper has called the attention of con-
gressmen to the proposition to reduce
the duty on paper. Many Of these
gentlemen have a large number of
newspapers in their districts, and
they plainly sec tie necessity for their
%reliet, GreaS city journals can stand
almost any advance because they can
increase their subscription and adver-
tising ratios. But the papers published
in smaller places do not dare to do
this, and unless some reliefis afforded
by congress in the way ofreduoing the
duty on paper, many Of them must
fall.
