A Prince in Trouble,

Prince of Wales.-Don't you think,
ma, that you should help me pay of
my debts? 1t will only take about a
million pounds, and
Queen Vic.-Good gracious, boy, are
you crazy? A million pounds! and
three cows on my Jersey farm have
been dry for two months!
The Prince. But think of the mil
lions that you own outside of the Jer-
,ey farm.
Queen Vic.-Mere trifes, boy, mere
rifles; only enough to keep me from
want in my old age.
The Prince. Well, if you won't help
me, the tradesmen will enter suit.
Queen Vic.-Why don't you earn the
money yourself? Go to America and
lecture.
The Prince. 1t would not pay. The
Americans would laugh at my drawing
pronunciation.
Queen Vic.-That is true. Let me
see. What can you do? You can't
act; you can't sing; you can play the
banjo, of course, but that is of no use
without the clog dance, and you don't
know that. Oh! / have it. Write to
that dear, good, kind Mr.. Barnum.

Just As Was Expected.

The action of the Democratic con,
gress in summarily sitting down on Mr..
Morrison's tariff bill, was nothing more
than was to be expected of a party that
never yet carried out any of its profess
ions of faith. When the bill came up
in its regular order, those who opposed
its passage moved to strike out the en-
acting clause of the bill, and the motion
was carried by four majority, the vote
standing l59 ayes TO 1855 nays. This
action, of course, stopped all further
business, so far rs Mr. Morrison's bill
was concerned. and the Democrats,
after making show of good faith with
the people, are now left free on that
subject. In the excitement which fol-
lowed the vote, the anti-tariif fellows
promised and averred, that the party
would, at the national convention, place
y plank in the platform that would be
in every way satisfactory to the oppon-
ents of the present tariff law. But what
will their promises avail them; or what
good will it do the anti-tariff voters to
have such plank Incorporated in the
Democratic PLATFORM The resolution
will amount to just so many words, and
nothing more. That party will not en-
dorse such resolution at the polls, and
there is no evidence from the manner
in which the Democratic members in
congress have acted-that they intend
to. The tariff thinkers have discovered
that their hobby received quite sup
port in few Republican localities, and
that has been their argumentative stock
in trade to advance their interests. The
Democratic politicians are satisfied that
the present existing tariff law is as good
considering the condition of the coun-
try-as can be; but they have made it a
hobby. and viii run 1t to the end. The
Republican party has been ever watch
full of the best interests of this country
and its people. The Republican con-
gress that enacted the present tariff,
did SO with view of doing what was
right and just-right for the people,
and just for the government. just as
soon as the Republican party see that
another reduction in the tariff is admiss-
able they will do their best to make il
satisfactory. The Democrats are work.
ing for favor. The Republicans are
working for the common good.

Who Will IL Be-

The main question now awaiting a
definite answer is that of who will re-
ceive the nomination of the Republican
convention at Chicago. The newspaper
figurers contend that Mr.. James g.
Blaine now has the largest following as
reported from the State conventions. 1t
is true that those figures so represent
the situation. But are the figures cor
rectp From the various compilations
one is lead to believe that they are not;
because of the discrepancy shown in
the different tables. One newspaper,
an avowed Blaine organ, gives its can
didate the leading place in its footings
of the figures. This is to be expected;
and it is also to be expected that those
newspapers opposed to the nomination
of Mr.. Blaine will reduce his figures as
much as possible.
While the papers thus boldly declare
that this or that gentleman will receive
the nomination, they seem to rely sole
" upon the figures they present to JUS
tify them in the assertion. They offer
no other proof. THE HERALD some
time since predicted the nomination at
Chicago of President Arthur, and since
the holding of the State conventions, it
sees no reason to change the opinion
then expressed. Not because THE HER
AID prefers Arthur to Blaine, Logan or
Sherman, but because all the indica-
cations seem to point in that direction
now as well as they did months ago.
One question, and one that has presented
itself continually since the first State
convention was held, has never yet been
answered by these lannon's newspaper
men who nominate Presidential eandi-
dates. That question is this; How
comes it that a great delegation of a
State, assembled to select representa-
tives to designate a candidate for Pres
dent, pass two resolutions, one endors-
ing the administration of President Ar
thur in the strongest terms, expressing
every confidence in his ability as an ex-
ecutive, true Republican and faith
full officer, and another resolution rec
commencing some other man as the
cho;ce of the convention for Pres
idcntial candidate?
There is an inconsistency to start out
with. 1t shows that the convention is
trying to fortify itself against coutin-
gencics. They seem to say: If our
choice for President does not show up
strong enough to capture the honors,
then we will take President Arthur, the
man we fully endorsed as our second
choice. With this condition of things
existing in every State; with President

sion. Louisiana sugar planters will, with
out doubt, oppose it. Tho treaty admits
tho sugars Of Porto Rico not above 16 Dutch
standard into our ports free Of duty.
The treaty is very liberal on bothSidcs.
1t opens our ports to the principal products
of Porto Rico free Of duty, or at largely
reduced duty and it opens Porto Rico's
ports to nearly all of our products and
manufactures on about the same terms. In
short, by extensive mutual concessions, the
treaty, If ratified, will certainly induce a
largo and profitable trade between the
United States and Porto Rico.
But so liberal are its terms that the cry

lied by Mexico, in making similar treaties
with other nations, that we get the she'll

The Democratic Attitude Toward
the southern Negroes.

President.elect Cleveland has spoken on
a subject which has attracted q good deal
of attention. subject which is Of interest,
but which has beon given undue promi-
nence. Mr.. Cleveland has spoken Of the
apprehension that exists among certain
portions of the colored people that in some
way their rights under the Constitution are
placed in jeopardy by the election Of
Democratic President. Mr.. Cleveland may
we'll say that he is surprised that such an
apprehension exists.
The leading colored citizens of the coun-
try have said that no such fear should be
entertained. What feeling of fear exists
in tho breasts of the colored people has been
eDgendered by tho wild talk which COM
menced eight years ago. Tho impression
then went abroad among tho moro ignorant
class of colored people that Democratic as
tendency meant re.ensla avement for tho
colored man.
Whether that fear was spread for poll
been SO charged against the Republican
leaders Of tho South Among the mass of
the colored people such scare has pecu-
liar fascination. 1t is dwelt upon, on.
larged and religiously handed down. 1t
was unnecessary for Mr.. Cleveland to say
anything on the subject, but 1t is, perhaps,
well that he has done so. He says:
"All OF this has appeared to me TO be so ab-
surd, and have been so sure that the slight
est intelligent reflection would dislodge such
foolish fears, that can hardly deem any no.
tice OF them necessary; but there 10 not tho
slightest objection TO calling the attention
OF all who ore in the least uneasy or uncertain
upon this subject to the fact that the title OF
colored people to freedom and all the rights OF
citizenship cannot be disturbed except by q
change in the Constitution, which II would DO
absolutely impossible to make.
$50 Ear as the new Administration Is related
TO this subject, the whole country can be sure
that the lawful power and Jurisdiction OF the
Executive will be so exercised that the rights
OF all citizens, white or black, under the Con-
stitution and the laws, Will be preserved and
protected, and all the advantages to which
they are entitled by reason Of their citizen
chip Will be secured TO them"

While wo were employed to walt upon the
Sonators, "outelders" would often encrOach
upon our good nature and ask up 10 do things.
We always refused TO attend 70 these matters,
II they were put In tho shape OF q demand In

IL up and hand II to tho Senator 10 whom II
was addressed. This was rather ofllclous re-
quest sometimes, as we wero tired and worn
out from excessive running, and would hardly
feel like going up to whero tho reporter was,
in the roundabout wny In which we should
have had to go, TO deliver him the Information
called for, and then come oil the way back.
But whether wo were tired or full of activity,
we did not like the matter-of-courso manner
In which some OF tho reporters had demanded
our services; and we would often let tho note
remain where It had fallen on tho carpet.

PERHAPS no more certain indication of
the prosperity and growth Of a city can be
found than that afforded by its suburban
residences.
1t is the natural tendency of great cities
to drive the wealthy and active, but peace
loving, citizens to the quiet andlrustic re-
treats beyond the city limits.
The immense buildings, busy thorough
fares and crowded docks of New York do
not prove itssupremacy as a financial CEN
tire in more positive terms than do pictar-
esque mansions that cluster on the banks
Of the Hudson.
The banking-houses of Wall street do
not smore clearly prove the city's wealth
than the imposing edifces, resembling
taronial castles or regal palaces, that
abound in tho suburbs of the city.
There is nothing in the libraries, lecture
rooms or museums of Boston that testifes
more loudly of the boasted culture and
tone than the subdued and chaste grandeur
of its suburbs.
The old and cherished trees, the stately
homesteads, the lawns and hedges the very
flower beds tell the story of their owners
tastes and lives.
Thus it is that the little villages around
Philadelphia, with their Queen Anne cot
tages and villas, give character to the city
itself, and so it is beginning to be in Wash
ington.
The Characteristic features of the city
ere carried beyond the Boundary and into
the suburbs in every direction. The va
!, iety aud originality of architectural dc
sign extends to the surrounding homes
and all about us picturesque and pleasing
residences, surrounded by beautiful lawns
and trees, are multiplying.
The suburbs Of Washington combine all
the attractive features that nature can
siford, and picturesque and beautiful city
is rapidly growing up about us, and sur
rounding the city proper.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY, JR, struck the
keynote Of the Home Rulers agitation
when he declared in his recent address
before the National Irish Club at Bir-
mingham that the Irish members
of the Commons would not rest
until they had Parliament on College
Green, Dublin. He predicted that such a
state of affairs would exist within five
years. Justin Mccarthy, sr, said that
three Of the most influential members of
the British Cabinet had declared in favor Of
Irish Home Rule, and he believed the
English Parliament would affirm that
principle before five years had passed.
Every friend of ireland must feel graft
fed that there is such bright prospect of
that oppressed country at last gaining the
right of self-government, of which she was
upjustly deprived by England. The
mother country's treatment of the Green
Isle makes one of the blackest pages in
history. 1t is welcome indication of tho
progress of justice that there is a probabil-
ity that Home Rule will be restored to Ire
land.
