Hon, Van Il. Manning.

The voice Of the Democratic
masses has decreed that Van H..
Manning, who has never falsered in.
The fray, OF fuEled our banner in
face Of the foe, shall again be our
standard bearer, and every consid-
Grafton ofduty and patriotism de-.
mands that we accord him that
cheerful and hearty support through
which alone we can win an.
other triumph for the cause we hold
SO dear. In this great conflict let
us know no man; on one side is
genuine Democracy, on the other
an apostate from the same party,
representing nothing but his own
ambition and a personal grievance
against our peerless Lamar, Be
not deceived, fellow Democrats;

Senator George, Of Mississippi, is
given credit for introducing one of
the most sagaclous party moves
that has troubled the republicans
during the present session Of Con-
gress. This proposition is to ex-
empt all mechanics tools from the
operations of the tariff, and put
them on the free list. After the
embarrassing question of the tariff
had been RELOCATED by both parties
to a tariff commission, the republi
cans could not keep their fingers
off the subject, and tried to give
the people Of the North a little re-
lief from taxation by reducing the
duty on sugar and increasing it on
hoop iron, This was done, ss 10 US
ual with Northern republicans, at
the expense of the South.
AS the question of tariff was thus
opened again by the republicans,
the democrats took the opportunity
to strike back by proposing the re
duction of duties upon several ar
ticles Of prime necessity to the
people of the country, among which
Senator George selected the tool
of mechanics as the most useful Il
the working classes, and as constr
tuting the greater part of the prop
erty upon which they base thei
means Of support.
The republicans are not prepare
to let the democrats go before tn,
country with the cry that capital
lists are protected at the expense @
the working classes, more partjcu
larlyin the face Of the fact tina
there is now great dissatisfaction il
the ranks of the latter.
! Senator George makes a speciG
; proposition, which will be apprt
ciated by every working man, an
! the republicans will have to fac
the music by rejecting ii, or ope
. up the question Of tariff Legislation
i The question of the tariff will tht
be brought into a prominent pos
ton in the next canvass, and wi
doubtless be the point upon whic
the canvass will turn. All the e
. forts of the republicans to keep th
r subject quiet uutil alter the nel
election, will be foiloA BY this sag.

Prohibition Successful in Kap-
Sa8.
From an Interview with Gov. st, John, in
the Atohisou Patriot, July 10.
Reporter-How does The State
prosper under prohibition!
Governor--Every temperance
man is encouraged. The railroads
are selling twice as much land as at
any time for five years past, and
our school lands, with the choicest
taken un years ago, are now selling
at the rate Of 22O acres per day.
while in 1880 the rate was but ISL
acres per day.
Reporter-How progresses the
great temperance movement in :

that in fifteen years the prohibition
law will be . national one. Iowa
has adopted it. Next year it vii.

The county election came off yes
terday, and the prospects IRE that
the Democrats have carried every.
thing with the exception, possibly,
of the Couty Court clerk, which is
very close, and will require the Off
cial vote to determine. Athy, Tor
sheriff, and Vaughan for Criminal
Court clerk, ran far ahead o! the
ticket; MeSsrs. Mccall UNI and Joe
Uhl also ran well. The call for a
constitutional convention was over,
wheImingty defeated. The Demo.
Gratis have worked hard in this cleo.
ton, and have reason to be proud

The Lace Fichu,

A very good story, and, what is
more, an authentic one, is told of the
wife of q well-known and respected
Nottingham manufacturer. who, being
with her husband in Paris, and occu-
pied with the colossal shopping which
such visits seem inevitably to entail. fell
in love with q lace fichu Of exquisite
fineness and delicacy, which was offered
to her for the moderate sum of 240
francs. She would instantly have pur-
chased it had she not been deferred by
various mysterious signs from her hus-
band, which surprised her not a little,
as she knew him to be a good judge Of
lace, and wondered, therefore, at his
lack of appreciation of the beautiful
specimen. She examined the fischu
again, half doubtfully. but it was soft
in texture, and beautiful in design, q
very cobweb in execution, and anything
but dear. She cast one beseeching
glance at her husband. but he was
grave and infiexible: SO with a sign Of
resigned regret she turned away, and
the moment they left the shop her dis
appointment broke forth: John, why
did you keep ne from buying that
lovely thinga And only f10; ] am
sure you could not think that dearf
Why did You not let me have itP''
"You are quite right, my DEAR" was
the reply of the unmoved John. 1--WE
consider that very superior article,
and the reason ! did not want you &c
buy it Is, because it came from one oi
my own frames, and can let you have
as many of the same kind as you like
f,r fifteen shilljnys apiecc!'

London Payements,

Beneath every square foot OF wood
paving in London there is layer OF
concrete foundation FIVE or six inches
thick. It is very much like the macad-
amized road, only that 1t Is very deep
and very solid. 1t is made Of frag-
ments of stone rolled in cement and
clay, and makes magnificent bed
rock for the blocks of wood to rest on.
The way they roll their macadam
streets here is instructive. Over the
various layers OF broken stone and ce-
ment they run q steam roller which is
quite as heavy Is the biggest railway
engine in America. This goes back
and forth over the same ground for
days together until it has mashed the
material down so that when it comes to
be dug up for fixing street pipes the
only way to make any impression on It
is with q drill and sledge-hammer, such
IS would be used In blasting granite
cliff. Making streets in London is
mighty unpleasant for the neighbors.
but when the work is done it doesn't
fizzle ont in few days. Ono aces mao
adamized roads as smooth as billiard
table right in the heart of London,
wholly unaffected by the flow Of heavy
traffic. The streets sre dirtier here
than they are anywhere else on earth.
They have none Of our street-sweeping
machines, and when they sprinkle" q
street they simply food It, so that there
"a nothing but q creamy quality OF mud
on the surface. To call London clean
as the natives always do. Is hideous
and mocking sarcasm. To say 1t Is tbs
best-payed City In the world is to tel
the plain, unyarnished truth.-Corrss
