Mr.. Porter, of the tariff commission, in

Mr.. Porter, of the tariff commission, in
an attempted explanation of the apathy
shown in various cities recently visited
by the commissioners, says the people are
SO prosperous that they are contented and
don't think much about the tariff. This
is not the true and only reason why there
was so little attention paid to Mr. Porter
and his associates. The simple truth is
nobody believes there is any possibility
that the work of the commission will a.
mount to anything practically. The i'm
preston is almost universal that Congress
will do nothing beyond a possible effort
to pass the wretched burlesque bill now
pending in the Senate, a bill that unloads
the rich at the expense of the poor.

The nomination of Judge Folger the
present Secretary of the Treasury, by the
New York Republican State convention,
for Governor of that State, does not in
spire the leading Republican papers with
much enthusiasm or give them much hope
Of success. The New York Times thinks
the party has received a blow in the house
Of it's friends, through the domination of
the administration faction, which is pure
ly gratuitous trifing with its strength !;
the Herald believes the nomination of Fol-
ger will cause complications that may end
in disaster, while the Tribune says that
the election of Folger will be a serious
undertaking. They all agreed that only a
characteristic Democratic blunder would
give them fair chances of success. That
the Democrats, in the nomination Of Hon.
Grover Cleveland, of Buffalo, have not
made--any bunder, seems 10 be conceded
on all sides. Mr.. Cleveland, though a
Democrat of the purest type, has been
three times elected mayor of the Republi-
can city of Buffalo, which position he now
holds. He is universally populur and has
an unblemished record. Prospects of
Democratic success in both the Empire"
and "Keystone" States could scarcely be
better at present.

The population of the ante Revolutionary
town of Tappahannock is SOS. The present
mayor has held the position for forty years,
and, it is said, can keep the place as long as he
lives. Some OF the ancient towns of the Old
Dominion are of proverbially slow growth.
Intelligence comes from the village of Mount
Holly that Stephen Day, aged seventy, secreted
the savings of a lifetime, S73, 900, in tin box
in his house. While he and his wife were tenn
porarily absent some one entered the house and
stole the en- tire amount.
The late storm has had disastrous effect up
on the tomato crop in Hartford county, and il

pected.
The farmers throughout the country are COM
planning of u scarcity of help. In one of our
northern counties it is said that 2, 900 men are
now needed for work at good wages. But the

rather be idle than go where they cannot have
free course to talk against corporations and the
rich.

AS there are some reason for supposing
that the New York Sun knows a good
deal about what is going on inside of
Administration circles, its daily repeated
predictions of a coming disturbance in
the Cabinet are worthy of attention. The
President is said to be in sad state of
mind concerning Secretary Chandle, be-
cause the latter set up too much of a
hurrsh over BlaiRe's vistory in Maine, and
banged away with forty guns from the
Tallapoosa in honor of the event. Now
that Blaine looms up 60 formidably on the
Eastern horizon of politics, it would not
be surprising if Mr.. Chandler should re-
ceivc an intimation that so close friend
of Blaine's is not wanted in the Cabinet,
and that Mr.. Arthur would be pleased TO
have the Navy Portfolio at his disposal.
Other matters that worry the President
are the troubles in New York over Fol-
gers candidacy, and the very broad in
timations from the Republican press that
he has gone decidedly too far in Growing
Malone as boss with plenary authority
over Federal appointments. But Mr..
Arthur is apparently the last person to
detect his own blunders
