King Leopold addressed the following letter to bis
Minister of the Interior: 81 beg of you TO take tho

The most significant incident in British poll
tics last week was, perhaps, the reiharkaOie
increase in Conservative strength shown al
tbe Preston election. This, our cable dispatch
oxnlains was due to the discomfort OF the
working classes with the general effect o.
free trade. While France and other Cont
mental nations are busly defending their home
industries, the British workpeople and manu-
facturers find that they are practically power
less to counteract such protective measures for
their own advantage. Their tariff has been so
simplifed that it contains only forty-ioUr uis,
tinct rates, levied chiefly on tea, coffee anu
alcoholic liquors. The British worimcn 90 not
know precisely what to do, but they seem de-
tcrmined to make the Administration feel that
they arc not quite satisfied with fiscal SyS-
TEN which exempts foreign manufactures from
duty while it taxes food heavily.
The Central Tunnel Company publishes lts
plans for an underground railroad under Lin

from the City Hall to the Grand O'h'i'I

The death of Colonel Thomas A. Scott was
not unexpected, and as he had been for year
or more withdrawn from active connection
with his railroads, it will occasion no derange-
ment of existing interests. The story Of his
life carries with it the useful moral that the
man who first finds out what he can do and
then does it with all his might will not fail TO
make his mark. He developed his talent for
railroad management when young man, and
won his way up rapidly to the practical con-
troll of great company by energy and indus
try that were equally remarkable. He achieved
q great success both in the position he made
Tor himself and the fortune he accumulated.

There will be a meeting held at Chickering
Hall Tomorrow night to express the sentiments
of the Republican party Of this city i'll relation to
the present posture of our politics. 1t is not to
be meeting of any clique or faction, but of all
Republicans who believe in sustaining the Ad-
ministration which they labored 20 elect, Hnd
who desire peace i'll the party and successful
conduct of affairs for the next four years. We
have had too much OF discord and wrangling.
If the decent Republicans Of New-lOrk will
now come forward in their force and dignity
and give their voices for a loyal and harmo-
NOUS support of the National Administration as
sustained by the Senate of the United Statcs,
we shall soon h ave no more of the miserable
squabbles which have kept us so disagrecaby
engaged FOR the past month or two.
