 The London Quarterly Repieao lately pub- lished an article intended to show that Brit ish manufactures are declining and that for eigners are competing successfully, even in the English markets, in consequence of the system of free trade in use in England This article has apparently made deep impress sion upon the English mind. and the news papers are now actively engaged in fighting the battle of free trade and protection over again. Thus the St. Jamaes Gazette says 'sNo adequate attempt has been made to an- swer the article which the Quarterly has had the courage to publish. It is for the party responsible for the present commercial pol icy of England to devise a remedy for the present evils. To them we owe the total abandonment of the home market of wealthy people to the foreign trader and manufacturer. To them we owe the conges- ton of British capital enterprise and activ- ity into half dozen enormous trades" The PaH MaH Gagette says 'sThe attitude of the Conservative leaders on the question is ex- ceedingly canny if anheroic. They will not commit themselves at present, but send out
  ground. The boldest enterprise is the arti- cle in the Quarterly which has already caused so considerable 8 futter in the daily press" Referring to the state ments and statistics concerning the United States in the Quarterly, the Pal Mall says: Mot the maddest commercial policy on the part of the American people or the wisest on ours could in the long run outbal- ance the immense preponderance of natural resources on the side of the United States. " The Econons6st dissects the Qsanrterly's article and declares that the writer is ignorant of fiscal affairs, mistaken in his statistics and wrong in his conclusions. Eff the article" says the Economaist, represents the view of the Conservative party, it certainly will not commend itself to the common sense of the country, and proposals of this kind, espec ially when put forward for party purposes are little better than mocking of the dis tress they profess to aim at alleviating." The Spectator says: ssWe have still some hope that we are to escape revival of the worn out discussion on protection, for in spite of some sinister appearances we cannot believe the Tory chiefs will lend themselves to so senseless cry.''
 In the House of Commons on August 3d the question of free trade against protection will come up on a resolution introduced by Mir. Ashmead Bartlett, which reads as fol lows: s'That in the opinion of this House, all trade within the limits of the Empire should be unrestricted, that no commercial treaty should be made with foreign powers that will not admit British products on equal terms, and that retaliatory duties be placed upon the products of those foreign States which exclude British products by protective tariffs" A long and interesting debate will doubtless follow, but it is not at all likely that the House will declare in favor of pro- tcoHion

In connection with the rumor, since thoritatively denied, that King Kalakaua had opened negotiations with England for the sale of his dominions, the San Francisco Chronicle publishes statement showing that the native population of the Hawaiian Islands. whose loyalty is the chief bulwark of Kalakauas throne, is decreasing with amazing rapidity, while the foreign popula- ton is rapidly increasing in numbers and wealth, and, of course, in influence. In 1779 Captain Cook estimated the native popula- tion tat 400, o,ooo; in 1882 the first census showed it to be 13O, ,315; by the census of 1866 it was 58, 765 it is now estimated at 56, ,OO0 No estimate of the foreign popula- ton was made until 1850; since then it has increased from 1862 to 4 ,194 in 1866, and is now thought to be about 10000, including Chinese. The female population is disap- bearing much more rapidly than the male. In 1866 the married people were fewer by 6,837 than in 1860. The destruction of the natives is attributed chiefly to the depravity of the women and the excessive use of ar dent spirits. The foreign population, which, forty years ago, was only 150, now numbers one-sixth of the entire population, owns more than half of the property, and transacts three- -fourths of the business The Chronicle thinks that the islands must inevi- tably, and probably within the present cen tury, pass from the rule of the native race into the hands of foreign protector.

Mayor King of Philadelphia, who IS at tacking the practice of carrying concealed weapons, says with truth: ''Whoever car ries these concealed weapons carries also the concealed thought of murder. The class who go ready armed to answer word with a death shot must be taught an abiding lesson of obedience to the supremacy of the law, and proper respect for the right an6s per- sonal safety of others. To go armed in great city, where the officers of the law are constantly within call, is a standing menace by the criminal and thoughtless class against the peace and order of society,"" Mayor King says the practice shall no longer be tolerated in Philadelphia.

Be Not Deceived.

General William w. Dudley of Indiana was
confirmed as commissioner Of pensions on Sat-
urday, notwithstanding the claim agents worked
hard against him. Ever since General Dudley
entered upon the duties of commissioner of PEN
sions these same claim agents who opposed his
confirmation have been sending out from Wash
ington and elsewhere newspapers and circulars
containing large pictures of him. representing
that the now commissioner of pensions would
not only be more liberal in granting pensions but
that he owed his nomination to their influence,
and that they possessed peculiar advantages for
prosecuting claims in his office, and requesting
those having claims to place them in their hands
for prosecution Also congratutating the claim
ants upon the removal of John A. Bentley from
that office, as he had been obstacle in the way
Of successful prosecution OF their claims. The
facts are that these claim agents had no ground
for making any such representations, that Gen.
eral Dudley adopted the same general line Of
conducting the business in the pension office that
had been pursued by Mr.. Bentley, and when
General Dudleys attention was called to these
circulars Of claim agents, he published a notice
ITO Claimants for Pensions" In which he says
" 1t having been brought to the notice OF the
NN"H'So'Shsi Vi Pchniohb ehht coitaih pcirour
are representing themselves as possessing pecu-
liar advantage for prosecuting claims over agents
and attorneys and as being able to expedite
claims for consideration, so that by their
efforts. the claim shall be more speedily allowed
than it otherwise would, he deems it proper to
warn all claimants for pension that such repre-
sensations and pretensons are false and delusive
and are only made to swindle claimants. No
person, agent or attorney in or out of Washing
ton, possesses any sort Of advantage over any
other, except in official standing, and no one can
expedite claim by influence"
