THERE Will be no Republican boilers and no

HONEST communities, like honest individuals,
lay their debts, because IL is honest to do so,
aud those who do not pay for this reason do so
because IL costs more to resist payment than Is

influencing capital by other than the absolute
material considerations involved, none pay
taxes or carry burdens. Worldly wisdom has
gone past all that sort OF nOnsense.-St. Louis

"Are you willing to express an opinion of
1.-The star-route verdict"
+ "Oh, no. You can readily see that itwould
not be proper under the circumstances, for
me to talk of that matter. l can only say
that the government proposes to push the
remaining indictments more vigorously than
ever. BY the way, l noticed in one of your
papers yesterday that it was proposed to
dress the mail carriers in Oscar Wilde gar b
knee breeches and other clothing to corre-
spond. That was my first intimation that
such a projects is on foot. / don't blame the
newspapers for holding the idea up to ridi-
cule. A Postmaster-general who would en-

as it does of the President, and it would
hardly be marx of affection to make them
objects of ridicule."
IWhat is the condition of the star service?'
"There has been no change in the service
for some time. The contracts for the past
year have been awarded on a uniform basis,
and the number of weekly trips and expe-
dition remain the same.

"At Washington we probably know less
about the situation than you do here in Chi

attending to my duties in the Postofiice De-
partment, without neddling with anything
else But l really think that everything
promises we'll for the Republican party. The
little sectional differences are all being har-
moniousy adjusted and all factions are
uniting for the conflict with the common
enemy"
"It has been said that you have recently
been in demand as peacemaker in several

respondents get little hard up occasionally

THE failure of the provision gambler Nc
Geoch, at Chicago, calls for no commisera-
ton. If he never gets enough money to-
gether again to make the meanest deal in the
cheapest bucket-shop, it is all right. Hun
dreds of others have doubtless been ruined
through him in former transactions. Nc.
Geoch, daring speculator, formed the idea
that he could corner" the lard market i. e.,
buy such vast quantities for future delivery
that the contracts could not be filled, and he
would thereby be able to fix his own price
upon that commodity and thereby enrich
himself by million or two of dollars The
undertaking was too much for
him. and instead of grinding others he him

THE premature ushering in of the Demo

sion as to the place of holding their national
convention. Saratoga, Baltimore and New
York are named as eligible points. But why
forget Charleston? That city, in view of the
great amount of harmony OF various sorts in

WITH all the misfortunes of Peru in her
unequal struggle with Chill, nature has pro-
yIded her pecuniary resources sufficient to pay
her indemnity and bonded indebtedness from

net proceeds divided between the bond

The following is the paragraph OF the con-
stitution out of which the doctrine OF a tariff
for revenue only is extracted; "The Con-
gress shall have power to lay and collect
taxes, duties, imposts, and excises to pay
the debts and provide for the common de-
tense and the general welfare of the United
States; but all duties imposts and excises
shall be uniform throughout the United
States" This extract is part OF section
eight, article one of the constitution of the
United States, and if the doctrine of tariff
for revenue only is the constitutional method,
pure and simple, the evidence must be found
in the language quoted. That no such in
depreciation is admissible is certainly clear
to every intelligent reader, and the voters of
the country can fortify themselves against
the fallacy of free trade by frequent resort
to the organic law upon which the whole
question rests The principle was planted
in the foundations of the government, and
not its existence, but it's regulation only,
left to the caprice of subsequent legislation
So the provision cited is broad enough to
justify the imposition of such q tariff as
may be deemed by Congress necessary for
the specific purposes namedi and also for the
general welfare Of the United States. The
whole matter then reverts back to the pro-
position as to whether protective tariffdoes
enhance the general welfare. From this
premise, the argument is abundant and con-
elusive in the affirmative. The history of
the past is amply sufficient to settle the
question, and existing facts, over all the fine
spun theories that can be arrayed against
them
