sibility and does not propose that it shall
be shifted upon the social, political,

John Huggard, the faithful presiiei; of
the board of poor guardians, j'' Pail
adelphia. was so far gratified ", "ri,y
as to result in the election over hun of
Richard e. McMurtrie, who had voted
for Huggard, and with characteristic
high mindedne5S refused to take the
place. But the meanness which defeats
simply because outside of this
b b)ard he is Democrat, has not been pal
lated and will not be forgotten.
IT is not 80 certain that the trade dollar
must 60.
THE York Age ''trusts in God aud a
Democratic Congress, and will, therefore,
take trade dollars same as any other dol
lars.
JUDGE HoADLEY ought to take hope for
his election as governor of Ohio from
keifer's prediction that he will DO weak
candidate. Keifer never hurt anything
that he did not help.
The reduction in the public debt for
June was over SIS, 900, 900, and for the IL

made in single month by the ordinary
methods of business.
OVER ono hundred of the Philadelphia
school marms will marry during the pre-
sent vacation and when school reopens
the places that lately knew them will know
them no more. They drew their pay for
vacation before proclaiming the bans.
IT is generally conceded that Edison
knows as much rs anybody about elec
tricity, but most people are ready to agree
with him that electricity is ten acre
lot, with q very high, close fence around
it. All we know about it, 80 far, We have
gained by peeping through the cracks in
the boards"
COMMON matches with penny stamp
on each box sold three for five-or two
cents for the matches. Without the
stamp they sell at two for three, or II
cent per box against { of cent per box
before. Profit for the matchmakers by
the new deal 125 per cent. Get out tie
finder and boycott the monopoly.
IT is easy enough for the treasury
officials to say the trade dollar was not
intended for circulation in the United
States, but for export to China" But it
bears the name, and mark and pious motto
of our.gOvernmental coinage and hence was
calculated to deceive. No cheap Chiree
tricks Oh tho Great American People.
THE Philadelphia Eueniny Ne'os present
ed its initial number yesterday as a one
cent daily with double sheet issue and a
general typographical renovation, which
greatly enhances its appearance while
the first number of the Wilkesbarre Daily
Record came out yesterday under the new
management of Messrs. Charles B. Sny-
der, DIR. Frederick G. johnson and Joseph b
G. Powell, who have purchased the c)n
trolling interest in the Record.
BUTLER keeps on roasting the Massa-
chusetts Legislature. He has vetoed the

million sufficient aud a million aud half

sachusetts fight very much in the frame of
mind in which the old man regarded the
conflict of Betsy and the bear.
JOHN WANAMAKER came up smiling at
Harrisburg yesterday and it was a
cold day for the roosters who have been
capturing the award of state supplies.
He bid lowest and got the con-
tract for House and Senate stationery, and
for supplies for the departments and Legis-
lature. With q responsible and reliable
house furnishing these goods, and the in
telligent aud honest scrutiny of Secretry
Stengor, the state will for once get the
worth of its money.
Mr.. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, JR., has
created some sensation by boldly attack.
ing the study of the ancient classics as an
essential to a college education in his Phi
Beta Kappa Grafton at Harvard. The ad-
dress likely occasions more comment
because it was unexpected from that
source, than from any novelty of the Ar
gument, which is the old presentation of
one side of very old question. So far as
Mr.. Adams onslaught upon Greek goes,
the Sun makes good point when it says
his own confession Of utter ignorance of
Greek-having forgotten even its alphabet
.disqualifes him to criticise the beauty
or utility OF that language. As to some
of his other points, the Tribune, in an ex-
tract which we reprint, seems to very
neatly answer him
