Live Stock Statistics.

Live stock statistics for the chief producing
countries of the world have been collected and
compared by an English newspaper, from
which it appears that the United States stands
first with the two important articles Of flesh
food--cattle and hogs-and that she is second
in horses and fourth in sheep, but that, with
regard to the latter two items, she is making
rapid strides to higher position. These sta
tistics credit the United States with 80 900, ooo
cattle, India with &C, ZOO, 900, and Russia with
10000, 900. Further, it is shown that Russia
has 100000 horses, the United States
10, 500, oo9, and Austria 3 100000. Australia
possesses $1,000 900 sheep, the Argentine
republic $4,000, 900 and Russia $4,000, 900
The United States-tourth in this list-ha:
10000 600, but IN the matter of swine she
heads the world, having 4S, 100000. OF goats,
India is credited with no less than 20, ooo, 900

pany could spread itself from Whining
ton to Connecticut, and from thence to
Wisconsin and crush out all competi-
tors. If Mr.. Bayard had had his way
we would still bs paying three cents q
box for matches, which now cost us
only one cent a box, and which seems
70 yield a fair profit to the manufac-
lurers, or else why do they continue to
manufacture? Mr.. Bayard has all along
been an advocate of tariff for revenue
only, except on matches, on which the
tariff could not be placed too high. No
other industry seemed to enlist Mr..
Bayard's sympathies like the match
industry that had the people by the
threat and made them pay one hundred
and fifty per cent. more on matches than
they are now paying. However, we
now have cheap matches without any
thanks to Mr.. Bayard.
1t seems like righteous retributio1
that Congress, while taking the Govern
ment tax off of matches, committed an
error by placing them on the free list
and now England is flooding this coun-
try with her matches, equal in every
respect to the American match, for a
cent box or twelve boxes for ten cents.
It may be possible that the match ma n
ufacturers of this country will be com
PEELED to reduce the wages of the work
men, in order to coIapete with this in.
Hux of English matches, but if this Ii
done it will be but another illustration
of the evil effects of free trade. If the
materials of which sulphur matches are
made can he procured cheaper in thi.
country than in England, then the man
ufacturer may keep up the prices of la.
Dor, but if these materials have to be
imported there must be reduction
somewhere to enable American manu-
facturers to compete sue cessfully witt
English manufacturers, who get theil
labor at starvation prices. While every
body will rejoice at the tumble in the
price Of matches, it will be no advan
tage to this country to have the manu-
facture and trade in matches 60 entirel,
into English hands.

What VIII Make Peac {. .

If the Every Evening wants partisan
laws obeyed, let it advise the party tina
passes them to put them in operation
while their own marty is in power in TIL
city. 1t is asking too much when i
asks the people to respect and reverence
law that was enacted with no othe
object than to turn Republi cans out 0
office, and put Democrats in. The tim'
to have experimental with Munic pa
Court was when the Democrats we're
in power for nine years and nine months
and not in nine months after the Re
publicans came into power. There C an
not be any respect for par isan con-
cern like the Municipal Colrt. Even
to ask the people to respect it is re-
Election upon their intelligence and
sense of justice.
The Every Evening may tell the peo-
pie that the Municipal Court was Great
ed in legal manner that the Legisla
ture had the legal right to creaIe it
that it, the Court, had "come to sta y, ;
and that those who do not accept it with
ont complaining, are rebelling against
the authority Of the State, and all such
things, but that does not increase the
respect Of the people for the Court.
They know that it was d partisan
measure passed for partisan purpose,
ANA they very naturally see in II apar
tisan machine that is manipulating and
trampling upon the rights Of the people.
The people cannot fail to see that the
only practical result OF the Municipal
Court has been to divide the Mayor
duties and make openings for two Office
seeking Democrats. In other words,
'wo Democrats and one Republica n
are now engaged in performing the
duties that the Republican was elected
to perform and which he was perform
ing when the Municipal Court stepped
in and usurped his place and his emol-
umcnts, especially the last. The British
Parliament passed stamp act and
laid duty on imported tea, but the
patriotic colonists tore he stamped pa
per to pieces and eIptied the tea into
Boston harbor.
The patriotic citizens Of Whining ton
have not gone quite SO far Us the in
suited coionists, though the provocation
is as great. They have permitted the
Municipal Court, forced upon them
against their votes and against their
will, to 20 into operation, but to ask
them to bow their knees and worship the
Democratic idol is going . little too far
# the Every Evening wants Nh.
uiripal Court to succeed and be re
sp'ct"d in Wilmington, let it stop
bounding those wbodo not respect it Let
1t advise Judge Cummins aud Clerk
Pennington to step down and out Let
II fold up the Court and Law il upon "A
shelf until a Democratic Mayor and a
Democratic police force come into
possession Of the city. Then let the
Court he taken from the shelf and be
put in operation. The people will then
applaud the self sacrificing spirit of
ihe Democrats, and will respect the
Municipal Conrt, but not till then.

HAIR RENEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases Of the scalp, and the first sue
cessfu restorer Of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have 80
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment Of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter Of the globe. Its unparal.
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire Ju!flnent Of its promises.
The proprietors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for a short time of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the per-
sonsl appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those Of alcoholic prepara-
tions, but remain long time, which makes
its use matter of economy.
