MR.. HENRY GEORGE is as right on the
snbiect of low tariff as he is wrong on that
of land tenure. To an article on Labor in
Pennsylvania" in the August number OF
the North american Reuiep, be presents the
burdensome injustice of the existing pro-
tectiye tariff In q glaring light by saying
that if all Americans are enriched by being
compelled to pay high prices to protected
producers, the Pennsylvania miners should
be profited by being compelled to pay high
prices to their company stores, and that it
Ia at least not to be wondered at that the
proprietors of these company stores, beng
accustomed to believe that the nation at
large should be protected from cheap goods,
should endeavor to protect their own mi
ners."

"THE ADMINISTRATION must move SLOW
" if it would placate the North" Such
WAS the reason assigned last week by Post
master General Villas for retaining an often
sive republican postmaster in Southern
CITY. If Mr.. Villas be correct representa-
tive of the administration this, then, is the
kew to the puzzle of the Presidents remark
able policy regarding the civil service.
Placate the North The country being now
one and indivisible, why the administration
should piacate the North any more than
the South, the East, or the West, and why
the North should have better cause to
be placated by the administration than
any other section, are hard questions for
most people to answer. It has been long
known that some of the other members OF
the Cabinet, and Southern ones at that, sd-
yissd Southern applicants for office to get
"a MANY Northern endorsements az possi'
BILE: but it was not known until the extra
ordinary revelation made by Mr.. Villas last
week that their reason for doing 30 was to
"placate the North" What can be expect
ed of an administration whose actions can
be influenced by any such consideration /?

In my Negotiations with General sher'
man." by Cen. Joseph E. Johnston, in the
August number of the North American Re-
view, Gen. Johnston, In reference to two
notes which he states he received from Pres
ident Davis regarding the disposition
of certain Confederate moneys, says: "Mr.
Davis asserts that 1t Is more than doubtful
If he wrote the notes above mentioned. l
assert that he does not doubt It," Asser-
tions by interested parties usually carry
more weight when they are not SO positive.
How Gen. Johnston can know positively
whether another man entertains doubt
upon any subject, is difficult for most people
to understand. Mr.. Davis is very old man,
and memory is one of the first faculties to
fall, Therefore his doubts concerning the
authorship of notes written twenty years
ago are by no means strange or unnatural.
Gen. Johnston has never forgiven Mr.. Da'
Wis for removing him from the command Of
the army In Georgia, W hich he had demorallz-
ed by his so-called Fabian policy, losing more
men in every retreat by desertion than ne
would have lost in so many pitched battles

 Enjoyable OccasIoR.
 The two hundred and sixty-ffth anniver- sary of the landing of the Pilgrims was cele- brated by the Congregational club yesterday afternoon and evening in the chapel of the United church. In the afternoon the prin- cipal feature of the programme was paper by Rev. Thomas R. Bacon upon "The Puri- tan character" which the speaker critically eulogized and traced through it's historical development. Following MT. Bacon ad- dresses were made by Rev. George P. Fisher, D. D., of the Yale seminary, MT. s. T. Dut- ton, Rev. MT. Lee and Professor Won Mil lingen of Constantinople. The tea was then served in the church parlors, and social time enjoyed until evening when Rev. Edwin P. Parker, D. D., of Hartford, spoke upon fsThe Puritan Saint" In the main the ad- dress was an account of the life of Mrs. John Winthrop given in detail and practically ap- piled MT. Parker's address was followed by several addresses. The exercises of both afternoon and evening were largely attended by friends interested in forefathers' day and it's characters. The meeting adjourned shortly before ten o'clock. Many thanks are due to the committees on exercises and en- tertainmenG.
