Mr.. Armour, the millionaire pork
packer, says his business is leaving Chi
cago rapidly, to get nearer the pigs about
Kansas City and Omaha, and the people
who most eat pigs put up at the slaugh-
ter house. The logic of this proposition
seems to hold good everywhere, with all
things, save in the South with cotton.
We prefer to follow the fossil rule of
political economy, that "the price of
the thing is what it will BRING" The
price of our cotton is so far short of
the price of the commodities used in
its production, that We must find an
other rule or perish in obeying the old
one. Let us try for a season, ''the price
of the thing is what it COST"

LIFE AT A GERMAN BATH.

In the Concert Rooms.
Life ct o German bath begins early; ct G Q.
m. or z q. N. at latest, the majority Of health
seekers walk down to the Homburg wells to
take their prescribed quantity of water. The
scene then in this charming valley is interest
ing and lively. The long alley leading from
the Kaiser to the Elizabeth spring is thronged
with people Of every age and nationality, oil
slowly parading up and down, listening to
the music of an excellent band near the r.in-
cipal well, thus shortening the intervals
necessary between the single doses OF water.
At o'clock the environs of the springs ara
nearly empty; every one has hurried home
for breakfast After a pause of pleasant rest
the remainder of the forenoon is generally
employed in the use of the baths, which are
crowded, often overcrowded, in fact, from IL
to l. at which time lunch again emptie5 the
streets and calls visitors To the different hotels
and restaurants.
The afternoon IS employed in different
ways. English visitors flock in large numbers
TO the lawn tennis ground, one of the finest in
Germany, splcndidly situated in the middle
of the park, and carefully kept in order by
the administration. Others prefer excursions
to the mountains, where there IS much to
interest and amUSe, and no one VIII omit a
visit to the ruins Of the Saalburg, an ancient
Roman ''castellum." Between and , o'clock
the neighboThOod of the springs again grows
lively; many patients now take their after
noon dose of water, and now, just as the
Elizabeth Wen was the most frequented in the
early morning, the greater number of visitors
are gathered around the LudwiSsbrunnen,
or the iron waters the Luisen and Stahl
brunnen.

high revols in its gilded chambers, all of

size but for the artistic and tasteful decora-
ton. Music cnlivens the scene; there are
constant performances by military bands in
the kursaaI gardens, or, if the weather is un-

To say the least, it must be pleasant
surprise to many to find that under the
present Democratic government the ex-
penditure of this nation has actually bee n
reduced during the last fiscal year. The
revenue last year was 1886, 439, 727, and
the expenditure S2to, 4S3,l3S That,
taking the population at 5S, 400, OGO, is
$5.76 per capita on disbursements. While
this compared with the preceding year is
Scents per head greater on receipts, it is
no less than "a cents per head less on ex-
penditures. This ia so far, satisfactory !;
but what is to be said about the large
surplus? Why should there be any !:
Why has the revenue not been reduced
by lowering the taxation: Or, seeing
there is that large surplus, why is it not
at once applied toward paying off the re-
deemable bonds forming the national
debt, and so save the country abou. two
and a quarter millions of interest? Why
keep SO many millions out of its proper
trade channel, merely TO lie idle in the
treasury TO tempt Congress to give IN
called-for extravagant appropriations?
Certainly if there is anything this ccun-
try lacks more than another IL is a finan-
cier like Gladstone.

Mr.. James c.. Blaine, who reappears
as a public orator on the stump in Penn
sylvania for the fit st time since the close
of his disappointing canvass in Maine,
says the New York Star, AYERS that
everything is in a very bad way for the
country, that business is languishing and
production retarded, and draws gener-
ally most lugubrious picture or our in
dustrial and commercial situation. If a
Republican administration were in power
Mr.. Blaine, on the existence of a similar
state of facts, would go into ecstacies
about the blessings showered upon the
country by the beneficent policy of the
Republican party. 1t is impossible TO be
lieve that tho Maine statesman is so en-
tirely bliud to what is going on around
him that he does not see that prosperity
ut present is sClid, resting ON firm foun-
dation and constantly increasing, so
that, without revolution, labor is daily
getting better and better share of the
profits of business. IL may suit Mr..
Blaine to shut his eyes to all this, but he
can scarcely expect that the people of
the country are going to do so, and close
their ears also to all other sounds than
his doleful ditty about their imagined
miseries.

had not voted for Governor Walker. but
for Sam Walker, a small politician about
