A Saratoga correspondent, writing
of a garden party which took place
recently, says: The most noticeable
feature of the evening was the mag
nificence of the costumes of the ladies.
Perhaps the most costly of these was
worn by Mrs. Moore, the wife of a
Philadelphia millionaire. One who
processes to have accurate information
on the subject told me that she wore
laces and silks which cost $4,000, and
also diamonds that were valued at
$4,000. This makes S105,000 for one
evening outfit. Whatever the cost,
the toilet was certainly superb, and
doubt if anything more expensive or
elaborate has ever been seen in this
country.

JUDGE LAWRENCE, comptroller of
the treasury. expresses the opinion
that congress has power not only to
enter into competition with private
telegraphic companies but to regulate
the rates of private companies for
transmitting messages. Congress has
the same power to regulate the rates
of railroad freights and to fix the
price of barrel of flour or the weight
of loaf of bread.

"POsTMAsTER-GE GENERAL GRE HAM
is the only cabinet officer who sticks to
business" says an exchange. The con-
duct of the aspiring officer is, after
all, nothing but a matter of taste.
Secretary Lincoln thinks that to jink.
ct little will strengthen him as a
presidential aspirant, while Mr..
Gresham poses on the idea that if he
will just stay in his Office while 9TH
ers are away, the eyes of the whole
country will settle on him as the
man. After Mr.. Arthur is nominated
he will change his official manners.

What Is the Use?

The Tribune groans because the
Democratic papers do not make more
ado over the fact that Sc 1000, 900 of the
public debt was paid last month. But
what is the use of screaming about
the NATTER The debt is paid by taxes
levied on the people, and paid before
it is due, when the people need every
dollar of the money for their support
and for use in productive industry.
This policy of premature debt-paving
is open to serious objection. and this
is all the Republicans can be credited
with the debt is paid by the country,
and not by the Republican party, as
Mr.. Reed would have the people sup
pose.

The report of Mr.. Nimmo, chief of
the bureau of statistics, shows the re-
markable increase in the growth of
cotton in this country in 1883 over
preceding years and in the value of
tho export. There were 100000 more
bales grown in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1888, than in the preceding
year, and the shipments abroad for the
same period exceeded those for the
year preceding by $47.513,977. This
would indicate a greater degree of
prosperity at the South than ever be.

AN EXCHANGE says that a she dude,
after carefully and critically examin-
ing the magnificent proportions of
her dude hover, timidly remarked:
''George, darling, if L am going to
wear the breeches after we get mar
ried, you will have to get them made
larger than that" This suggests that
when fellow goes counting it would
be well to wear tight pants.

THERE can be no doubt, that while
ex-senator David Davis is represented
ae so happy in the bosom of his family,
he might be induced to give up this

party as a presidential candidate. He
VIII certainly be allowed TO enjoy
himself in the first position.

The Philadelphia Record saws:

The misery of compulsory educa-
ton is that the power which enforces
teaching also undertakes to prescribe
what shall be taught. For the pri-
mary education, in which the child
learns to read and write and master
the elementary principles of mathe-
MATES. it does not so much matter.
But after the mind is schooled to the
handling of these tools the direction
which is given to the pupil colors all
it's after life. AT this point the state
reaches the very limit to which it
may reasonably go. 1t might us well
undertake to regulate the meat and
drink and apparel of the body as to
say thereafter how the mind shall be
clothed.
Again it is said by the same paper:
In the animated discussion now
going on as to how far science should
be taught in the public schools, or
whether it should be taught at all,
school authorities and teachers and
the majority of those who are in favor
of the "higher education" entirely
lose sight of the Value of instruction
in sanitary science. A course in chem
istry, astronomy, botany. mineralogy,
geology. biology and other abstruse
Ologies is all very well for such
scholars as wish to pursue and can
afford to pay for it; but such instruc-
ton cannot be gained except by
thorough application of the student at
the sacrifice, perhaps, of more useful
knowledge and at the enormous eX-
pense to the taxpayers of the coun-
try. The youngest pupils may learn
the Importance of pure air and clean
illness while coming their a b abs,
and may receive practical instruction
in the art of ventilation which will
probably serve them better than any
thing they can learn beyond the ac-
QUESTION of reading, writing and the
rudimentarY principles of arithmetic.

Mrs. TOoMBs, wife OF Gen. Robert
Toombs, is dead. Mrs. Toombs, who
was seventy years of age, has been in
very feeble health for several years.
1t is feared by those who know the
family intimately, that the death of
Mrs. Toombs will seriously affect
Gen. Toombs, as he has frequently
asserted of late years that he has no
desire to live after his wife has left
him

The Railroad War.

ST. LOUIS, September Ga restora-
ton of railroad rates to Chattanooga
took effect this morning. The Ohio
and Mississippi has restored Evans
vile rates to S.. The Air Line raised
Cincinnati rates to $3.50. 1t will likely
remain at that figure during the ex-
position. This narrows the fight to
the Ohio and Mississippi and the Air
Line on the Louisville business and
the dollar rate still prevails.

On THE subject of tariff Gen. Dur

On THE subject of tariff Gen. Dur
bin Ward says:
The Republican party advocates the
protective principle and the DEM
cratic party the revenue principle.
The protective principle, like all it's
other policies, is founded on the pa
ternal idea. The government must
direct the people what they shall pro-
duce themselves and what to buy
from abroad. 1t builds up a ia
vored class, promotes monopolies
and taxes labor to enrich
capital. 1t makes the poor man pay
more tax in per cent on the value of
his coat and blanket than the rich
man pays on his. Taxes the farmer,
mechanic, wOrkingman on the imple-
mentS of his industry, on every article
OF clothing and c)mfort of home, not
barely to support the government, but
to enrich the manufacturer. The
Democratic party. on the other hand,
supports revenue tariff limited
to the necessities of the gov
eminent economically administered.
In adjusting this tariff for revenue
we insist that it shall impose no I'M
VHuo1 DuIuClIo, DuG encourage 6tll III
dustries alike without creating or
fostering monopolies to rob labor Of
its just compensation. x * The
whole tariff ideas of the two parties
divide on the line between labor and
capital. A Republican tariff is in
the interest of capital. The Demo-
cratic tariff is in the interest of labor
The one protects money, the other
protects men. A man is better than a
dollar. The dollar in the thousand
forms of aggravated capital is strong
enough to take care of itself. The
man, unorganized and competing, is
ever the prey of the dollar, organized
and combining. He needs freedom
from governmental favoritism to cap
ital. Republican tariffs enslave, Dem
Ocratic tariffs enfranchise labor. Re
publican restrictive legislation has
driven our ships from the ocean. I'm
der Democratic free legislation the
breeze will kiss our merchant flag in
every cline and on every sea.

THERE are over 25O,OOO,OOO acres of
land in the South, of which about
100000 are in cultivation. In 1882
these cultivated lands produced crops
valued at $9OO,OOO,OOO, an increase of
$2l4,0O0.O00 in value over the produc-
ton of 1880. These figures prove
that the tilling of southern soil is
most profitable.

CLOTHING EMPORIUM.

To those in search of clothing, or
any description of dry and fancy
goods, the Clothing Emporium of
A. NJ. Mellis, 104 Fort street, offers
special attractions. A short time
ago Mr.. Mellis enlarged his space
by additions in the rear, and now
The entire premises are filled with
fine display of new, choice, and
well-selected goods, of every men
tionable and conceivable kind. Both
ladies' and gentlemen's wear, of all
descriptions and styles, and of the
best quality, are on exhibition and
offered to purchasers at unusually
low prices. Reference to the adver-
t.sement will furnish fuller and more
particular information.
A new feature has been added to
the Emporium, in the shape of a
Millinery Department. Miss 1irsh-
berg, young lady of taste,
thoroughly trained. and practised in
the art of hat-trimming, and fresh
from the world of fashion, has
charge Of this department. Ladies
can have the prettiest and nattiest
hats, trimmed to suit their own wish,
and be sure of the politest attention
from Miss Hirshberg.
Mrs. Mellis's cloak and dress
making parlors are located upstairs
in the same premises. Here the
urbane proprietress presides in per-
son, assisted by Miss Sachs. Mrs.
Mellis's reputation for taste and
skill in fitting, making, and ornamen-
