Mr.. A. P. TUITION is again in search
of an Office. MIR. Tuition is fond of Office.
He has been in the enjoyment Of them
for a good many years of his life, and
when not in possession of them is on the
hunt for them. A desirable vacancy
cannot occur without our finding Mr..
Tuition hot foot after it. Mr.. Raum is
one day announced to have resigned the
commissionership of internal revenue
and the next day we hear that
Mr.. Tuition is starting for Washing
ton with a delegation to press his
claims for the position. The fact
is that Mr.. Tuition ought to keep shady
in this political era. The atmosphere is
not healthy one for him, He fiourished
under the old order of things, but in the
new there is nothing to water him. He
is not the kind of man to suit the reform
idea /; though the old figures will loom
up, under the new skies, they appear
only to wither; and the summary way in
which Keim has been cut down by the
roots, upon his appearance in the hot
sunlight of the public judgment, ought
to have warned Tuition that this was not
the time for him to poke his head up
into the fiery glow.

Among these was one by the name of
Henry Kready, farmer, of Manor town

found two by that name and occupation,
but both had middle names, and as the
one on the list had none they both refused
to serve. The name was therefore returned

We Will Sail Together.

Mr.. Henry Watterson is probably pre-
senting his extreme views upon the tariff
question with view to keeping his
name before the public. Violence of
language and extravaganza of position
on a question of public interest will
always secure notoriety to man who
can command an audience. Dennis
Kearney had it, O'Donovan Rosa has it
and Mr.. Watterson gets it but it is not
a sort of notoriety that man should
want to have who seeks to lead
the Democratic party. Mr.. Wat
terson got far enough on his way to
such a place in our councils as to
write tariff platform for us in the last
presidential campaign. 1t is quite certain
that he will never write another for
Mr.. Watterson now excludes from the
Democratic party every one who does
not believe with him that a tariff should
be laid only with intent to secure revenue
and without thought to protect the home
manufactures and products. And as it
is perfectly clear that this doctrine is rot
test of Democracy, and that if it should
be made so, a large portion of the party
would be left outside of it, it is reasona
bly, certain that no such test is likely to
be set up while this condition of things
remains. The Democratic party will
be guided by reasonable men, who
will lay down its sailing direc
tions SO as to keep the fleet. together.
If Mr.. Watterson does not like such a
policy he can sail away in his own dug
out, but he viii! have mighty few to keep
him company. There is no disposition
among the Democratic voters to let the
tariff question distract the party and
disturb its unity and such hare Drained
editors as Watterson can make no i'm
preston upon the solid sense of the De-
mocracy.

THE CIGAKMAkERS.

Au0y kS0C61V0 AL AOV0uC0 IN "0xc0.
The reduced internal revenue tax on
cigars and manufactured tobacco takes
effect tomorrow, May 1, and in view of
it cigarmakers have demanded from man
ufacturers an increase of wages, and in
most cases the demand has been granted,
and the men commenced work this morh
ing under new scale of prices. Hereto
fore the men were paid from So to s6 per
Thousand for making cigars. the price
depending on the skill of the workman
and quality of the cigar hereafter the
price paid will be from 81 to 81 per thou
sand. The revenue tax heretofore paid
by manufacturers was Sc per thousand !;
hereafter it will be So per thousand.
It is rot expected that the reduced tax
will, for the present, at least, cause any
appreciable reduction in the retail price of
cigars-the three dollars reduction on each
thousand will be about equally divided
among the cigarmakers, manufacturers
and dealers. The smoker may get q rather
better cigar at the same price he has
heretofore paid, but the millennium of
cheap cigars will not como until the entire
revenue tax shall be removed and the
manufacture and sale of cigars shall be
free and open to all who wish to engage
in the trade.
At prices heretofore paid expert cigar
makers who worked 10 hours day and six
days a week, could earn from 81 to 80.
Under the advanced wages they can earn
from SO to s12; but employers say a very
small proportion of their men work GO
hours per week. Practically, they are
eight or nine hour men, and many of them
have habit of laying of for day
or more, thus reducing their wages below
that of most other mechanics.
Some manufacturers say that the pre-.
sent increase of wages will not last long ;
that the country is full of cigars, which
will be thrown on the market under the
reduced tax and cause a stagnation in
manufacture and a consequent reduction
in wages.
