IMPARTIAL MIR. GLADSTONE.
Springfield Republican.
Mrs Gladstone has recently dined with the
queen at Windsor. This is astounding, but
Mrs. Gladstone has always had a reputation
among her friends for being impartial in her
social favorS, and it is quite natural that she
should not forget the queen.
THE FORCE OF PARTY TRAINING.
st. Louis Globe Democrat
The force of party habit and training is
strikingly illustrated in the fact that Dem
ocratic Treasury official has been detected in
stealing silver dollars worth only so cents
apiece when there were plenty of good gold
dollars in the building. Even in case OF
larcenp, it is impossible, it seems, for the
Democratic mind to grasp sound financial
idea.
THIS is NEWS ON THIS SIDE OF THE LINE.

ABOUT CHINESE LABOR.
Portland Oregonian.
The Chinese among US, by performing with
| fidelity our hardest and lowest kinds of la
Dor, have opened avenues of employment to
whites in the more advanced occupations.
Every one sees this. On the whole, them the
Chinese do not deprive white persons of en-
ployment. If they do, in some cases, they
plainly make more employment for white
persons in others. The employment of whites
| upon the thousands of acres of land opened
| this; so likewise does the employment OF
whites in large numbers, in connection with
| the great fish packing industry, which, with
| out Chinese labor as an auxiliary or founda-
| ton, never would have been developed, and
| could not now go on. Were there no Chr
1 nese in the country, white men would have
| to come down from the more advanced to
the ruder forms of labor, and would have to
| accept the rates that are paid to Chinese In
| such emplOyments, which as yet with us, are
| higher than the rates paid to white persons
in the eastern States In similar occupations.

Probably Jaehne, who paid Mrs. Schuyler
Hamilton $110O for her silver which he bought
of thieves and melted down is very fair
specimen of the average New York alder
man. Jaehne appears to have been acting
as fence for thieves for years past, and
though his occupation was known to the
police his political influence has saved him
from arrest and imprisonment 1t looks too
as if some of the high officials of the
police department had been in direct collu-
sion with him, and even the District Attor-
ney is somewhat compromised The inyesti-
CATION into the Broadway surface railroad is
bringing to light practices among officials as
corrupt as those Of the Tweed regime.

DIR. Bashford writes to the Voice, the ma

Est. John received 1874 votes in Portland. AT

only 1866, or two more than ST. john indicating

just polled 1876 votes for candidate for mayor,
gain of more than rs per cent over last year S
vote''
To carry the city on full vote, the sue
cessful candidate must poll about 5000 votes.
The third party threw at the last election
1856 votes a gain, DR.. Bashford claims, over
last year of 40 votes. If this rate of increase
is continued, the third party will get control
of the city in just about 20 years.

The Mayor Of Biddeford had fine oppor-
tunity in his inaugural to express his opin-
ion in regard to the methods that secured
his election. He did not Improve it however.
On the contrary he thanked the representa-
tives of all the interests instrumental in ele-
waiting him to his position. Several of the
most efficient of these representatives are
now in Jail. The Mayor should send them a
copy of his address.

Cure for rimnIes on the Face.

The cure consists in changing the
diet, improving the habits, cutting off
the supplies for these eruptiOns. New
er check the necessary discharge, the
purifying effects, but prevent the ne
cessity for such an escape of putrid and
offending matters. Eat less grease,
butter, pastry, which is mada specially
unfavOrable by the use of lard, with a
diminished use of sweets in general,
particularly dark molssses. AS gen
eral principle, these pimples are most
abundant in warm weather, the cold
weather actually burning the carbon of
the system, thus sustaining the animal
heat, which must be kept at about 9S
degrees Fahrenheit, or death would re-
suit. If you do not like to have these
about the face-as a young man-yOu
can divert to some other place, running
the matters off by producing counter
irritation, - irritating with mustard, CT
a common blister, or a sore, promoting
the discharge by applying wet cloths

infamy of placing his mistIesses at the

ding day, is sufficiently condemned by
his own acts. In the then condition of
public morals, however, such things
might possibly have been condOned by
The nation had there been no other
ground for complaint, Unhappily there
were other and more terrible reasons for
disaffection. The Seven Y ears War had

Some sustained nature by eating the

of all this misery, the sovereign and his

but laid upon the wretched peasantIy

ions were lavished upon the prOfiigate
circle which surrounded the person OF
