At the recent election in New York city
the cOlored Republicans voted almost
solidlv for Mr.. A. V. Davidson, the Demo-

Writing ON the subject of the Tariff
Commission. +. j. D0nnell, in the New
York Commercial BUlletiH, says: Zone
Of the most beneficent laws of nature Is
that which holds old systems which have
long OutIived their usefulness, if they
ever had any, 10 the EXTREMIST assertion
Of their claims to the very last-even until
the death rattle is heard in their threats.
The law of nature Is persOnified in the
Greek mythology of the Fates and their
executive agents, the Furies. Who ever
yet saw" he asks, "a powerful faction of
mOnOpolists or Shareholders who were
wise enough to compromise in
timer" If he had ever doubted
the utter destruction in the early future
Of the gigantic swindle on the industry of
the country the tariff system), the action
of the Tariff Commission, which he holds
To De entirely consistent with the princi-
pies of the erroneous system, would have
treasured him. He does not agree with
the reform critics of the commission that
il misrepresented its own work, reporting
partial reform and reduction when it had
actually made it worse. The commission
was rather to be pittied. not blamed, being
appointed to report bill that would de-
ceive and quiet the peOple-they did their
best. but undertook an impOssibility.

Mrs. Geo. Dawley, of rs Knight street,
Providence, Rhode Island, relates to our
reporter her experience with the wonder
full curative properties of what is destined
soor to be the standard and leading spe-
citc of the whole wide world for kidney
and liver diseases, etc. Mrs. ID. says:
early last spring | was severely aff1ict-
ed with turpidity of the kidneys and en-
largement of the liver, and the kidney dis
ease came upon me so fast and suddenly
that before / was scarcely aware of the
cause of my trouble became badly bloat-
ed, and my body and limbs very much
swollen, so that it was with great difficult
ty and severe pain l was able to walk any.
l became dreadfully troubled by being

eXertion or little exercise would
tire me almost to exhaustion,
and | was so distressed when /
retired nights that could not sleep, and
was very restless. One of my limbs

pain, which always seemed to be more
severe at night than at any other time,
and would frequently ache so sharply as
to arouse me from sleep. was very ner-
vOus and uncomfortable all the time, and
was being doctOred, and taking all kinds
of medicine for this complaint and that
and the other, but all TO no good purpose,
until at about the time when l was tired
out and somewhat Disguised and almost
discouraged with medicines and doctors,
relative and highly esteemed
friend persuaded me to try
Hunts Remedy. l began to
take it a few days ago, and am happily
disappointed by the result, for before had

and soon commenced to sleep splendidly ;
the severe nervous pains in my limb which
had to handle so tenderly do not appear
any more, my headache and backache
have disappeared, L feel better every way,

disappeared from my body and limbs,

The Seductive Head Line Fiend.
Nelr York TTules.

1t seems almost incredible that persons
who can read and write should have
gained this notion merely from the printed
headings in the daily journals. But it is
likely that the deluded people who have
besieged the post office clerks with re-
quests TO exchange three-cent stamps for
two-cent stamps under the impression
that the former are no longer of any use,
have gained this scrap of news from the
hasty reading Of a display head" in a
newspaper, There are people who pride
Themselves on their ability TO pick up all
the really desirable news of the day in
this manner. They are too busy" to
read anything more than a head line. But
when il comes TO trading old stamps for
new on the basis of information acquired
on the wing, as it were, the necessity of
taking a little time for the sake Of accu-
racy is apparent.

If it Is corrupt and dangerous for a gov

If real publication of the civil service is
the object aimed at, nothing is palmer
than that the reform should go through
the system as it stands to-day, as well as
through the lowest grade of offices as fast
as death and resignation may thin it out
and create vacancies. 1t is evident that
the Republicans voted down the Pugh
amendment because it would disturb the
present occupants of offices; and as they
are now in Republican hands, they natu-
rally want to keep them there.

fesses that the crop viii not be so large.
