On the stalwart principle, Collector
Robertson cannot be removed from his po-
sition in New York until Messrs. Miller and
Lapham, the New York senators elect, give
their consent. The stalwart faction is now
the extreme states rights group of the conn-
try. The stalwart leader, Mr.. Conkling,
established the principle that the Federal
offices in a state are the property of the
senators from that state.

There is complaint among the parents
of some of the young lady scholars
of the high school room against
the five flights of stairs which
the latter are compelled to climb so
often during the day in order to reach their
room. Serious effects in the form of physi,
cal disturbances have manifested them
selves in some of the scholars referred to,
which are directly traceable to this torture
some climbing of stairs and which have
caused number of parents to decide upon
Withdrawing their children and giving them
| home instruction. The matter is therefore
entitled to the serious attention of the
school board, and will very probably receive
it. 1t has been suggested that some of the
younger scholars from lower room be
transferred to the upper room, and vice
versa.
Bismarck having, through stern neces-
sity, decreed liberation to the Roman Cath
olcs in Prussia, it would be inconsistent if
he does not bandon his antagonism to the
Hebrews. 1t is known that during the
whole anti.semitic movement the chancellor
has secretly aided and approved the course
of the anti-semitic party. He has per-
mtted the court clergymen to declaim
against the Hebrews and has interposed no
objection whatever to the utterances of the
government organs against that race. He
is known to have used his power to keep
the Hebrews out of the Reichstag, and the
government takes no precautions whatever
to prevent demonstrations of a mob charsc-
ter against them, although fully advised Of
such movements before hand. This is all
very disgraceful to the German government
and is necessarially resulting in the depart
ure of many good German citizens of the
Hebrew faith, to foreign lands, where they
receive better treatment.
The oyster strike at New Orleans has
weakened; its back is broken, and oysters
at thirty cents dozen will soon be q thing
of the past. When the oyster aristocracy,
the bivalvular nobility, the molluscous mag
mates put up the price from twenty to thirty
cents a dozen the people cried aloud with
distress and Indignation. The rank and
file of the oyster dealers sympathized with
| the public in this strait and continued to
supply delicious oysters at the old price,
and so greatly did they profit by this right
eous and reasonable behavior that they did
all the business while the selfish shelfish
oystercrats suffered accordingly. AS re-
suit, the strikers for higher prices have
weakened, and now, at aristocratic oyster
stands that had stuck out for style and
thirty cents, are seen placards offering the
succulent soother Of stirred-up stomachs at
fifteen cents a dozen. The people are will
ing to pay twenty cents for goo d oysters.
The following facts concerning the Gus.
tom'house square walk will be of interest
The material used is Portland cement mixed
with certain chemical which Mr. M. E.
ii. Barrett, who has the contract to lay the
walk, claims as a secret. Ii is fact very
generally acknowledged that sand, if held
together, is almost as durable as any stone
and tits the object of Mr.. Barretts meth.
cd to convert the best sand into compact
mass by means Of cement and chemicals
A thick layer of dampened sand, mixed
with the substances, is first spread over the
ground, and firmly stamped down so that
