Assuiling Leading Repubiicons.


The IfibunGS announcement that Mr.
Blaine is not candidate for the presidency next
year is met by sneers in some quarters, and 1t is
intimated that he declines what he cannot get,
This is not in good taste it smacks more of half
breedism than of good republicanism. Mr.. Blaine
is one of the foremost living republicans, and
while he is alive will remain potential force In
American politics To deny this is simply to ex-
hibit the pettishness which distinguishes Mr..
Conkling's enemies when reference is made to
him. In or out of office, these two men will make
themselves felt in American politics whenever
they move. Their respective enemies may deny
this; may endeavor to blind themselves TO un'
doubted facts but nevertheless this is So and will
be. Mr. Blaine may have authorized his friends
to say that he will not be candidate for the
presidency next year, but this does not compel
his admirers to abandon their efforts to make him
the nominee These attempts, no doubt, will be
continued unless positive commands to desist are
issued, and that would not be very decorous
proceeding. In the meantime good feeling can
not be restored in the republican party while It's
leading members are assaulted by embittered fac
tiOlists,

Falling or In Postal Receipts.


Tho figures showing the sales of posta &c
stamps and stamped envelopes at the post
offices throughout the country for the quarter
ending June 80 1883, indicate falling off in
the demand. Although the sales for the
quarter were greater than for the quarter
ending March 30, the percentage of increase
was smaller than that for the corresponding
quarter of last year over the quarter which
Immediately preceded it, Third Assistant
Postmaster General Hazen explains that this
apparent falling of arises from the near ap-
proaoh of tie date when reduction ofpostage
goes into effect. The large buyers of stamps
and stamped envelopes are, he says, making
purchases just sufficient to carry them over
until the reduced rates goes into effect.
This is noticeable, he says, especially
with regard to orders for Especial
request" stamped envelopes. Merchants
and others who use large quantities of these
are giving small orders and using up the
stock they have on hand. lie says the falling
off in the sales is not to be considered as an
evidence of prospective continuation in the
postal revenues after the reduction in rates
goes into operation. 10 simply indicates that
the stock in the hands of the public is being
reduced that the stamps and stamped enve-
lopcs, OH which the government has already
realized, are being used up and that

The Owners OF Eureka Springs.

In 1870 a town was founded at Eureka
Springs in Arkansas and for nearly year
nothing was done to give any prospects for
future success, but in 1880 upwards of four
thousand persons settled there, and now the
number of inhabitants is ten thousand. Out
side parties pre-empted certain lands within
the city limits and laid out building lots At
tho same time they gave out the report that
properties and powers, and thereby they
claim caused heavy emigration and, ofcourse,
caused property to sell rapidly and increase
in value The question arose who owned the
town, the people who have gone there and
made the place what it really is or those who
pre-empted large portion of tho town sites
and now wish to sell them ut high figures?
The commissioners of the land office decided
yesterday in favor of the former.

WAsHINGToN, Jefferson, and MADISON all
maintained the constitutionality of protec-
tion for American manufactures, and Old
Hickory made Calhoun vote for it in order to
d s5nnd his nulliiiers and so escape arraign-
an import for protection only, but nobody
favors that. What tho republican party ia
vors and the democratic party opposes is q
tariff that viii afford protection as well rs
raise revenue. The democracy say that a
tariff must be for revenue without protection.
tariff for revenue only would be one that
would place duties so low that the importers
could undersell our manufacturers in all cases
and remand us to the pastoral condition.

The western and middle states have sus-
tancd the protective system in our tariff
legislation, New England came in very re-
luctautly IN 1928 The south-the solid
south--was against it before the war, because
cotton claimed to be the only interest entitled
TO consideration. Tho bourbons are against
protection now because they were against it
then. They don't know how to leave off
fighting for King Cotton. The gallant Wat
terson and his revonue-only associates are as
faithful to the dead past as is the Count de
Chambord. They will in due time find them
selves band without any procession. When
the democratic chiefs assemble they will dis
card such smooth bore weapons as state rights

Mr.. Dana has seemingly turned poor old
Mr.. Tilden out to grass. The Kentucky
trainer of that renowned old race horse came
east recently, and, by the skillful use of ar
senic, or some other stimulant known to the
blue grass jockeys, had the old fellow canter
up and down a few yards at an astonishing
pace. But Dana declares the old stager ont
of all future races, and Dana is very
near to Samuel. The very earnest and en-
phatio language of Mr.. Dana is after all
little suspicious. 1t is as if he protested too
