THE anti-Semitic agitation has now spread
to Vienna, where the occurrence of riotous
demonstrations directed against the Jewish
portion of the population is reported. This
may safely be regarded as fresh tes timony
to the superior intelligence, industry and
thrift OF the Hebrew race. Thanks to their
steady application and business sagasity, the
Jews manage to accumulate property wher-
ever they go, aud in this way to arouse the
hostility of the shiftless and incompetent

POSTMASTER GENERAL HOWE will not
recommend any direct reduction in letter

makers will scarcely be pleased with this
proposal.

THE alarming accounts of the progress
made in southern Egypt and Soudan by the
fanatical forces of the False Prophet seem
TO show that Mr.. Gladstone's government
has not been able to get rid entirely of the
Egyptian war by the short process which
had been expected. Of course the army
commanded by the Prophet may be and
probably is exaggerated, but the trouble is
that his forces increase all the time, while
those opposed to him will rapidly melt away.
NEW YORK Graphic: Horace Greeley
said in the days of the rebellion: 1.-THE
trouble with us-the people of the United
States-is that we want a--good licking
and the trouble is that we can't find any
one big enough to lick u.s." In speaking of
this afterward Mr.. George William Curtis
added: "And so we had to go to work and
lick ourselves" For Republicans this seems
to be one of the morals of Tuesdays cleo
tons.

IT seems from the present experience of
New Orleans that under some circumstances
municipal insolvency has its inconvenience.
Usually municipal debtor has the best Of
the situation, and it is the creditor whose
position is embarrassing, but this rule is re-
versed when the creditor is the company
which supplies the municipal debtor with
gas. That is what is the matter in New
Orleans. That impoverished city is unable
to pay its gas bill, and the company having
reached the conclusion that it had better
not give any more credit, has cut off the
supply. In the carnival of crime which will
follow under the friendly cover of the con-
sequent darkness, the respectable citizens of
New Orleans are likely to determine without
delay that the gas bill must be paid at any
sacrifice.

AMERICAN cottons, Consul General Den
ny, of Shanghai, reports, were in fair de-
mand in China during the last year until
May, since which time extreme dullness has
set in. For the two years for which he gives
figures, 1879-s0 and 1SsO-s1, American sheet
ings show nearly three times the sales of
English; in drills American sales are one
half, and in Jeans from an eighth to third.
As usual, inferior English drillings have
made their appearance in the market, packed
to initiate American, but the consul-general
expresses the hope that the quality of Amer
lean goods will be maintained as certain in
the end to win a profitable market. On the
other hand, Consul Goldsborough, at Annoy,
says, that in Southern China, where the eli
mate is warm, it is hopeless to attempt to
sell any but weighted" cottons.

The New York Tribune thinks that the
investigation of the star route bribery cases
shows the practice of jury fixing in Wash
ington to be the same as that in vogue IN
New York, which it describes as follows:
"Tt.e first overtures of these fellows are in
yariably made in the apparent and alleged
interest of the side they do not propose to
benefit. They approach and feel juror on
behalf of the prosecution, as in the Wash
ington case. If the juror is accessible and
open to bribery, once in the fxer's power,
he is told that it is the defense which he
must serve. Ii, on the other hand, the juror
grows indignant and exposes the attempt at
bribery, it is made to appear that it comes
from the other side. Ia civil actions jurors
are approached by pretended friends of the
plaintiff when the defendants interests are
really at heart, and vice versa" The Trib-
une speaks as if jury fixing was well I'M
derstood and common practice in New York
as it was once in Philadelphia, before the
Times broke it up by its exposures.
MERCHANDISE imports exceeded exports
for the first nine months of the current year
by $54 5000 in the same months in 1881
exports were in excess by 1921, III 1904, a
difference of more than $175. 100000. A
large part, nearly sne-third, of this balance
was wiped out by the change in specie
movements. If this be included the exports
were in excess in 1881 by $S3. 542, 79S, and
the imports in 1899 by S13. los. S51. or about
$96,600,000. This is due to the fact that in
the first nine months OF 1881 we imported an
excess of $37, 629, 106 in specie and in 1882
exported an excess of Sal ,206, 1893. The re
mainder of the balance against this country
will be pretty nearly all wiped out in the
course of the next three months by an i'm
port of gold and an export of grain. Large
ly as s'luxuries' play their part in eur i'm
ports, it must not be forgotten that large
part of the increase in imports is due to a
demand for food.

Their Origin and Hacw They Have "a
be Remcdied.

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
'Can you read the riddle OF wrinkles, dress
wrinkles mean?" inquired q dealer of surgi-
Cal instruments this morning as he talked across
the counter to a Post Dispatch reporter.
'"Do you mean fashions?"
mo, 1 am not perpetrating slang. Actual
wrinkles In the goods is what refer to. Just
notice whether there are creases In the side
fronts or ladies' basques at the waist line.
Wrinkles either side mean prosperity for our
business. and In eighteen out OF twenty cases
you'll md them. The explanation OF this is
that women and girls have habit of easing
their position while standing by throwing the
weight on one foot and allowing the other leo
to remain Taxed and somewhat bent at the knee
II the weight is put on the lett foot for instance
the hip on that side is elevated and the right
shoulder raised This position assumed at in
tervals will soon wrinkle the basque near the
hip"
''But isn't there some cause for women lop-
ping sideways?"
'Plenty of them. 1t would make a moder-
atey strong man weak to carry about the weight
of clothing that woman is obliged to wear in
cold weather. and generally this weight-twenty
pounds or more-is all on her hips. L don't
blame her for taking any position that may be
restful, but their are some attitudes. you per-
ceive, that may also be injurious blame the
wearing OF narrow-soled, high-heeled, button
boots, so that she can't stand erect with comfort
The leather will soon stretch so that the foot
slips about and naturally turns to one side, and
OF course she doesn't change the buttons. In a
lace shoe this would be different. providing, of
course. that q cOmmon-sense heel were worn.
