 England is beginning to be disturbed, and with reason, about the strength of the native troops under the control of the quasi-inde- pendent Indian princes. It appears that
 these native Indian rulers, who govern total population of about fifty millions, have
 armies aggregating 381, ,000 men, certainly a
 formidable force, as the troops are probably
 we'll disciplined, and the natives have proved,
 in fighting for as well as against England,
 that they are not towards in war. On the other hand, all the British forces, including native as well as English regiments, do not number more than half the total of the troops of the feudatory States, although the popula- tion of British India proper is almost two hundred millions. It is probable that the British forces will be increased, and the na- tive potentates required to reduce their armies.
 There are some preachers who evidently do not work for money There is a Methodist preacher named David in Sullivan county, N. Y., who is the tEsupply" of three country churches. He leaves his home every Sunday morning at half-past three o'clock and rides twenty-one miles to Neversink flats, where he holds Sunday school at g. 30 and preach ing service till 11.30 This is followed by an hours class meeting He then hurries on to Hurleyville, eight miles further, where he breaches at 2.30 and holds another class meeting. His next place is Fa1lsburg, where he arrives in time for supper, and holds ser vice till o'clock. Then, his days work done, he drives back home, twelve miles, reaching it, if the roads are comparatively good, by midnight. And he makes this cir cult every Sunday, summer and winter, for the enormous compensation of $200 year.
 British manufacturers have never been friendly to our manufacturing interests, and they now want to see free trade adopted in this country. President John Adams wrote sixty five years ago: I am old enough to re- member the war of 1745 and it's end; the war of 1755 and it's close; the war of 1775 and it's termination; the war of 1872 and it's pacifca- ton. Every of these wars has been fol lowed by a general distress, endorsements on commerce, destruction of manufactures, fall of the price of produce and of lands; similar to those we feel at the present day and all produced by the same causes. have wondered that so much experience has not taught us much more caution The British merchants and manufacturers, immediately after the peace, disgorged upon all their stores of merchandise and manufactures not only without profit, but with certain annihilating all our manufactures and ruin ing all our manufacturers.
 Mrs. BelYa Lockwood evidently does not expect much help from the woman suffra- gists in her campaign. She says: You must remember that the women are divided up into as many factions and parties as the men. There is the Women's Christian Temperance Uuion, under the leadership of Miss Frances Willard; there are the Sufragists, headed by Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony; and there is the American party, controlled by Mrs. Liv- ermore and Mrs. Blackwell Now the politi- cal situation is just this: Miss Willard united the temperance women with the Prohibition party at Pittsburg, and had plank inserted to catch the Suffragists; but the latter, ind- ing that they were going to play second fiddle to the temperance people, came out for Blaine and Logan. The American party have also endorsed the Republican candi- dates. Now, thought that women who be- ieved in women's rights and temperance ought not to hang on to the skirts of the Republican party any longer, and expressed these sentiments in letter which was pub lished recently in several of the papers for women This nomination is the result of the expression of those sentiments.
