The Marvellous Singing Doll.

This charming novelty is advertised in this
issue, by Massachusetts, Organ Company,
81 Washington street, Boston, Massa-
chusetts, and certainly nothing will
appeal more quickly to the children than a
Doll that will sing song. The price is very
reasonable, the Doll is beautiful affair. and
the ingenious singing attachment will de-
light the young and amuse the old. The
little girl who finds Weber Doll lin her
stocking at Christmas time will be the envy
of all.
Dear Sir: The beautiful Singing Doll came
safely, and far exceeded my expectation of
what a Singing Doll could be. Our little
folk were charmed with its beauty, but when
it sang their delight was unbosnded. 1t
will be TO them thing of beauty and con-
slant Joy. Sincerely yours.

Comments of the Press of New York the

Honest but Ignorant.

According to the leading Republican news
paper Of the United States, the Democracy
Of GROVER CLEVELAND Is beginning to be
questioned.
This is news to us. We supposed his polit-
ical fealty was undoubted
What really has been questioned since his
message Is GROVER CLEvELAND's ability.
A feeling OF disappointment at the manner
in which he deals with public questions was
manifested by the press generally, without
reference to the party preferences OF particu-
lar journals.
A fair statement Of the popular verdict
upon that document as evidence Of the Gov
ernor's capacity is expressed In the words,
Honest but Ignorant.
We regret that such an impression should
have been made We hope the Governor will
be able to remove it.
In the mean time. would it not be well to
require that the next candidate nominated
by . Democratic Convention for Governor
should be obliged to undergo simple pass
examination in the political history Of the
State and the rudiments Of political economy
before his nomination Ia to be deemed final

Abolish the Whole Concern.

Il lie alleged that our aged and venerated
public employee, HANNIBAL HAMLIN, has
resigned his place as Minister at Madrid and
come back from Spain because he discovers
that the salary Ii too smull.
We congratulate Mr.. HANLN on his dis
covery. We trust he will be able to earn .
better compensation here at home. But why
will not all our so-called representatives
abroad come to similar conclusion It
would be blessed thing II they would strike
IN body and set sail for their native land.
What Is described as our diplomatic service
In foreign countries Is superannuated
institution. 1t was established In the days
when there were no telegraphs and no fast
steamships. The conditions OF international
intercourse are now entirely changed, and
yet the old machine Is kept up just as though
It could still be useful.
All our regular foreign missions should DO
abolished without exception. Ordinary COM
munications between the Administration ut
Washington and the Governments Of other
countries should be transacted by post or by
cable For extraordinary occasions q special
agent might be sent out, to come home again
after he gets through with the duties In
trusted to him.
There Is no reform in Government affairs
more desirable than the abolition Of regular
diplomatic missions.

This fact seems to refute the assertion that
home, Is largely due to the difference In the
price Of labor. II the difference on
this score were not immatcral, how would
1t be possible for tho Maine shipyards to find
a market for their wooden steamships
This elimination OF the price OF labor from
the conditions Of the problem. disposes Of
the only argument advanced by Mr.. Cox
on behalf Of his proposal to admit foreign
built vessels to an American register There
are, OF course, but two elements In the first
cost Of a vessel. to wit, the price Of labor and
the price Of materials and equipments.
What they are now accomplishing in Maine
with wooden steamships, proves that they
are not trammelled by any appreciate differ
ence in the former respect; II. then, we give
the Maine builders the materials Of irot>s
sells, duty free, what should prevent them
from turning out such ships, also, as cheaply
as they can be constructed on the Clyde2
We agree, in short. with Mr.. Cox In think
ing that the use Of American ships should be
facilitated by removing all the trammels
placed by Federal and State taxation on the
manning and sailing OF vessels. We are
also OF the opinion that American shipbuild-
ers should be allowed to obtain the materials
of iron sailing or steam vessels as well Us
ships stores and equipments at the lowest
possible price, either through remission Of
duties or by a drawback equivalent to the
duties paid. We might go further and ad
wise Congress to assent to the free importa-
ton OF the principal materials used in the
manufacture Of iron steamships, not only in
rough state, but fashioned aud ready for
being put together. This last concession
would reduce the amount Of labor requisite
In construction, though, Us we have said, the
experience OF the Maine shipyards shows
that the difference in the price OF labor IL
scarcely worth considering. Here, however.
our concessions stop. We shall need more
convincing arguments than Mr.. Cox has
here advanced before we can support his adj
ditional proposition to admit foreign vessels
to our register.
AS regards the final question, whether,
even In the event of our being able both to
build vessels and to run them as cheaplv as
our competitors, VIC could hope for much
improvement Of our mercantile marine. Mr..
Cox seems to feel some encouragement,
though less than was expressed in the minor
ity report OF tho shipping committee. I'm
questonably, the fact that our rivals are in
possession implies that We must overcome
great deal OF friction, after oil the obstruc-
tions offered by our navigation laws are
swept away. But, as we may take occasion
to show hereafter, the minority report Is
mistaken in assuming that no great ameliora-
ton in the prospects OF our merchant navy
can be expected until the whole protective
system has been superseded by tariff for
revenue only.

A Few Probabilities.

Probably every Senator OF the United
States who Is eligible, hopes at some time to
be President OF thelUnited States.
Probably no one hopes 50 with more conf
dence just now than the Hon. GEORGE
II. PENDLEroN OF Ohio. His Civil Service
bill has been passed by both Houses Of Con-
gress, and Is certain to be approved by Pres
ident ARTHUR. He stands prominently be-
fore tho people as Democrat and reformer.
Where" he may well ask I" is there any
leader with superior claims to mine ?"
Probably Mr.. PENDLEroN does not know
that Mr.. DISMAL Il. EATON Of New York pro-
poses to take all the credit that anybody gets
for tho enactment Of the Civil Service bill.
No sooner was it passed by the House, how
ever. than the praises Of Mr.. EATON began
to be sounded; and before long we suspect
Mr.. PENDLEToN will be disposed to doubt
whether he himself had anything to do with
It, judging from the claims put forward In
behalf OF this dreary reformer.
Probably, also, II Mr.. PENDLErON tries to
keep his political head up much longer In
Ohio, gentleman named PAYNE may take q
shy at It.
Probably great many hopes that seem
bright now will seem vain In 1884.

bers Of the exchanges themselves desire to
crush out the evil.
These great operations. It must be remem-
bered, can only be undertaken by few, and
the rest suffer because Of them. Even the
cornering clique itself Is usually unsucccss-
full In raking In the expected gain, Very
few corners are profitable, because the de-
liveries on the contracts sold to the corner
generally exceed all expectations and the
accumulated merchandise after 1t Is over has
to be sold out at normal prices. Whether
successful or not, however, the effect IL
equally bad. The course Of legitimate trans
actions Is disturbed.
It has been suggested that the exchanges
have the remedy In their own hands, and
that they can cure the evil easily and thor
oughly. All they have to do. 1t is said, Is so
to amend their rules as to the crops, grades,
or whatever may constitute good delivery
on . contract, as to make them as liberal as
possible. Then an attempt to get up cor
ner would be almost hopeless. But whether
this would not be introducing such an ele-
ment Of uncertainty into futures as to make
them unavailing for legitimate purposes. IL
question worthy Of mature consideration.
