The Boston Herald very sensibly remarks
There is one thing that the managers of
state campaigns this year may as well under
stand in advance the people are not going
to vote in reference to the presidency until
next year For one thing, they are not ready
to do SO, and for another, the most of them
have state issues 10 decide, With the possible
exception of Ohio, the presidential skirmish
line is nowhere shown. The result in that
state may have some bearing upon the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency, but
otherwise the elections this year will be with
out special significance in national politics.
The Republicans can lose New York this year
and carry it next or the Democrats can do
the same. Pennsylvania may ratify the re.
union Of the Republican party now, aud re-
fuse to support boss made presidential nom
nation next year. In Massachusetts nation
al politics will hardly be thought Of. Gov.
Butler is to 60 or stay-that is pretty much
the whole of it. If he goes, that viii be the

The telegraph operators strike has finally
come to an end. The operators have given
it up as a bad job and have gone back to their
instruments, and the company is master of
the situation. The struggle has been costly
one on both sides, and millions of money
have undoubtedly been lost, most import
ant lesson, and one which it is hoped will not
soon be forgotten, is that strike should not
be resorted to until every other means of ad-
justing differences has been tried If it shall
turn out that the awakened public interest in
the condition of the Geographic service and
the confessed danger attending its monopoly
in the hand Of one great corporation are the
precursors Of effective competition by private
enterprise or by government undertaking, the
strikers, after all, may have struck more to
the purpose than they originally intended.
They have aroused a sentiment in their favor
which will make itself felt in the long run.

The Philadelphia Times brings forward
these four indications OF sound business

standing the recent heavy failures in certain
lines Of business THE crops are good,
money is plenty, the great bulk Of the man.
ufactories are running, and the savings banks
deposits are increasing The significance
Of the last named fact may be weakened
somewhat by the probability that. owing to
the stagnaton in the stock market during the
past few months and the uncertainty as to in
yestmeuts, considerable amounts Of money
have found their way into the savings banks
that cannot be legitimately classed as "sav.
ings And yet the showing Of the New
York institutions for savings is indicative Of
general prosperity. The reports for the first
half Of the current year show that twenty
four savings banks in New York city hold
deposits to the amount Of S232, GOO, 900. be-
longing to j93, 600 depositors, or about one
half the total population. The average is

increased $1,000, 600 in six months. aud the
depositors nearly $4,000. Taken in connec-

It is q matter for some encouragement that
the indignation with which all right minded
persons must regard the chain gang system
Of leasing convict labor in the South finds
some expression even there. The subject
has been attracting more attention in South
Carolina OF late than elsewhere and the
Charleston News and Courier directs atten.
ton to the death rate under this cruel system
The most able.bo convicts are leased out
while the weaker men are kept in the peni-
Tertiary. Besides, numbers Of convicts who
have been leased out and have broken down
under sickness or hard usage are returned to
the penitentiary TO be cured. This makes
the death-rate Of the "chaing gang seem
smaller than it really is Yet nineteen deaths
occurred in nine months among an average
Of 800 chain. gang convicts, while only
three died in the same time out Of 500 kept
in the penitentiary. These figures tell their
own story. The "chain-gang' system is a
blot upon American civilization.

While small fruit can be successfully and

can be successfully and proftably grown.
Here all kinds of fruit trees usual 10 the

grown with as little care and attention, and
they bear as abundantly as in any portion
OF the country. While it may be possible to

"Neut-al" Butter.

The Denver Republican has made dis
covcry this week which is worthy of men
tion. II has found that there are butter
inc factories at Denver, and tells how that
article, which is used to n very great eN-
tent, not only by poor people, but by res
taurants and boarding houses and by the
better classes Of citizens, is made. The
only adultcrition the butter used in the
manufacture OF butterine receives is with
this :" neutral which is made from pure
leaf lard by Plankinton * Armours, at
Kansas City, who run n branch house of
Armours & Co., the largest pork packers in
America. To make butterine, pure cream
cry butter is melted and mixed with neu-
trail, in less or greater quantities, according
to the price to be paid by the purchaser
Generally the neutral is used in about
double the quantity of butter. Neutral
costs laid down at Denver, fifteen cents per
pound. Hence when it largely enters in
to the manufacture of butterine, that arti-
Gle can be sold very cheap.
