The Question Above All Others.

On Saturday last the New York Tribune
published an article in which the following
occurs:
behind the question OF tariff there lies
q greater. Behind questions OF finance or
foreign policy, or the character Of candi-
dates. there lies Il greater. Can the people
of this country govern Themselves Have
they lost the power beyond recall TO express
freely their wishes at the balloi-bOX? That
this Is greater question than any other all
must see when it Is considered that 1t in
wolves all other questions. IL the voters
have no power TO make their will effective.
It matters but little what they will as to the
tariff. ms TO the finances, as to the character
Of their candidates. or as 10 the conduct OF
parties. Argument on any OF these ques-
tons would be folly il 1t were once deter
mined that the people had lost the power
to make their will effective
On the same day the New York Evening
Post published an article from advance
sheets of the North American Reviep
which was written by Colonel HIGGINsoN,
one OF the leaders of the Independent
movement, and from which we extract the
following:
1.-THE present work Of young men in
politics, for the presidential year, is first to
settle the fact definitely that the issues OF
the war are ended, and then 10 decree that
all material questions-tar banks, every
thing-shall be held secondary 10 those
questions which touch national honor and
integrity at'home aud abroad. The men
under thirty are right in their instructive
ennNieftnn~ that nreaSinns feaat No
duties. Ii is now matter Of comparative
insignidcanee what position man took on
the fugiiiye-slaye law, or the bred Scott
| decision, or the civil war itself; IL Is mat
ter OF momentous importance whether he
stands for good government and national
honor"
Colonel HioGINsoN's article is calculated
10 surprise no one. IL but reiterates senti-
ments he has expressed from the stump
time and again since the Independent
movement was inaugurated. But we con-
iess that we are surprised at the Tribune.
The above extract embodies the first piece
OF sound doctrine that has been enuneiated
in its columns for months, and brings out
in bold relief the quostion we have so fire.
quenily urged upon the consideration OF
the people, Is this free Government IT
Is not only In full harmony with Colo
mel HIGGISsoN's utteranees. but is a
scathipg commentary upon the TribaRe'S
whole course in the present campaign.
How, we ask, do the sentiments in the par
agrapb quoted from the Tribune compare
with its constant appeals TO dead issues,
its efforts to put the northern Democrats
under the ban OF suspicion, and its endeay-
ors to inculcate the idea that the Republican
party have prescriptiye right TO admins
ter the Government. Whatever may have
been the 1ritune'S object in publishing
such an article, the public have reason to
thank II. Thinking men will be apt TO
find II pregnant with arguments for a
change. II should stimulate the people to
determine once and for all whether they
have "lost the power TO make their will
effective"

mistake which may be discovered ia the

expert testimony.
The centenary OF the ascent OF the first
balloon In England brings news that the
second trial OF the aeroDauts nj Meudon
has resulted In failure. The expectation
OF those who hope 10 steer balloons must.
therefore, now be turned from France to
Russia, where Captain Kosztowitz. the Rus
sian aeronaut. u quite confident that he has
solved the problem by balloon which Is at
prescnt being constructed at st.Petersburg.
IL Il of the shape OF abuge cigar. driven by n
screw, but Is also provided With sails. The
inventor calculates that bis ar-sbip will be
able to make 100 miles an hour, with an
eouipape of sixteen men, 10000 pounds
ballast, and an engine Of fifty-horse power.
The balloon, with its sppurtenauces. will
be 200 feet long, so feet high, and will pro-
bably make It's first excursion from 81. Pc
tersburg at the end OF this month. The
odds, however. are a thousand to one
against Captain Kosztowltz.
Mr.. Graham, an Englishman, with the
helm OF two Swiss mountain guides, has
recently made an attempt TO ascend some
Of the lofty peaks o! the Iiimalayas. Start
ing from Nynce Tai, he found his first
difficulty, and not an insignificant one, TO
be TO get TO the mountains. They stand
far back, and are ;pproachable only
through valleys occupied by large streams.
The first attack was made upon Dun
pogrj. which Is 24.1s4 feet high. In
order TO reach it they had to climb
over two peaks 1900 and $4,000 feet high.
and then, after a five-days' march, they
camped on glacier at The height Of 1900
feet On the sixth day they reached a
90 90 "a IN
coming on, they were compelled to retreat,
after they had come in sight OF their goal.
Mr.. Graham observes that the peaks OF the
Iimalayas, as rule, ere considerably
steeper than those OF the Alps; and he is
convinced that Breathing is no more diiii-
cult at the height he reached tian at 10000
feet lower down
A Castle Garden official recently stated
some Of the reasons why so many English
women come to this country To join the
Normons. "Thcy don't have hali a chance
10 get husbands In England" he said.
=. WHY one Of 'em,, was telling Inc ONLY the
other day that. out OF 100 women-folks in
her native village between the ages OF OF 20
and 3j, there were husbands foT only
iii, six Of 'em. Fourteen OF the other
forty.four had owned husbands once,
but they had died. The remaining
thirty never had any. and had no hopes Of
getting any. She seemed to have made a
study OF the question. for she told me that
there were less than 100000 women be-
tween twenty and forty years in all Eng
land and Wales, and of them nearly 2.0O0,-
GOO were unmarried. SO when the English
women learned about Utah, and the glOri-
Gus opportunities il offered them in a mari
tai way, they became impressed witt the
place at once; and that's why they keep
coming over with the Mormon mission
aries"

Custom In Detectives.
GNeU Vork World I

The fact appears to be pretty we'll estab-
lished now that the private detective is one
of the necessary appurtenances of excessive
wealth, and is to be found in all well-fur-
nished establishments along with the foot
man and the butler.
This, as a fashionable necessity, is decided
improvement on the pug-dog, and it will, no
doubt, lead to an improvement in the breed
of private detectives. The ostensible object
is, of course, to have the ladies' diamonds
looked after, and, as it is the habit of certain
American ladies' to put on their diamond
necklaces when they go out for ride in a
bob-tailed car, the utility of it is not ques-
toned
Custom, which regulates all things, has de-
creed that ladies who only carry from SO, 600
to $50, 900 worth of diamonds on their persons
shall not indulge in more than one detective.
But those who carry gems worth over $780,
900 are entitled to two. By this ingenious
arrangement it will hereafter be able to esti-
mate ladys wealth in personal adornments
by counting her routine of Shadows" The
plan is simple and convenient, but if fortunes
continue to increase at their present rapid
rate and diamonds to multiply, the coming
American dowager will look like the leader
of battalion whenever she takes her walks
abroad.

Il DUDn'S ANXIETY

The original Simon pure dude from
Dudeville, Dude county has been bodily
fractured in Wisconsin railroad colli-
sion. When they dug him out of the
wreck he gasped:
Don't mind me, but look after my
cane. It's the yellow one, with ham
mel ed silver crook handle!''
The cane was found broken in four
pieces, but as they have manfully kept
he truth from him he is expected to
live.
