ed from the fact that while twenty-six

THE only country where labor is
anxiously wanted just now is along
the river Plata in South America, a
wonderfully rich country, with a
salubrious climate and Offering great
opportunities. The Buenos Ayres
Standard says: Notwithstanding
the enormous influx OF immigrants
there is a great and pressing demand
for hands. II is no exaggeration to
say that if the arrivals last year had
been 200, 600 not one OF them would
now be unemployed. In TACT, some
Of the crops in the upper provinces
are lost for want of hands. Only last
week some hundreds Of new arrivals
refused 50 day and beef rations,
which is double what they could earn

THE campaign in Egyrt has had a
very depressing effect on English
jingoism. Not long ago the jmgo
spirit could be aroused by the smallest
chip on foreigners shoulder On
the appearance of the faintest opposi.
ton 10 British policy from Germany,
France, Turkey, Russia, or Anybody
else, the lingo instantly rolled up his
sleeves and was ready for a fight.
This was when England had a prime
minister with a foreign policy having
a litllc nerve and backbone and when
Wolseley, fresh from his services in
the east and his easy yictorias over the
Ashantees, was regarded as the perfect
model OF a modern major general
But, under the weak and yacillating
administration of Gladstone, the
lingo spirit has in great part declined,
and the revelation that Wolseley is q
resplendent fraud. utterly incapable
of enforcing lingo policy against a
respectable foe, will doubtless extin
guish it completely. England has
got the men and got the ships and
the money, too, but she hasn't got
the prime minister nor the general.

THERE are lightweight Postmasters
in the United States who have had a
dispute with the Government as to
whether they were entitled to certain
extra fees for the transaction of the
postal money order business. One Of
these mentioned is the Postmaster at
Bloomington, ILL.,, from whom the
Government has been attempting to
collect 81 900 which he had retained
cut OF the post Office receipts, as COM
pensatiou for this service. The suit
in the case was decided in the Post
masters favor, recently, in the Unit

that he was entitled to the fees claim
ed by him. The Post Office Depart
ment has accepted this decision as a
test case and will settle with all the

he put it into his pocket without

rose and slowly unfolding the manu-

The first annual report of the
New York State Dairy Commissioner
has been forwarded to the Senate.
The effect of his work, he says, has
been to suppress over seventy five per
cent. OF the sales of spurious butter
in this State as compared with the
sales Of 1883. The reduction of the
sales of these goods in 1884 amounts
to fully so, 600 pounds daily, equlva
lent to protecting 400 600 persons
from being imposed on. He is as
sured by many merchants and dealers
in butter that, as a result of these ar
rests and prosecutions, at least eighty
per cent. of the unlawful traffic has
been broken up Darymen can
never secure a renumerative price for
such butter as comes IN competition
with oleamargarine sold Under false
representation.
