THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1886, edited by
the Hon. Edward Mcpherson, is now ready for
delivery. 1t includes complet, 'tatistics OF all
elections of the past year, " h tables IN detau
for local results in New * and Kings
County. There is also full budget OF gen.
eral political and commercial intelligence. IL
is an exceptionally interesting and valuable
number. Price, 80 cents.
The sudden death of the Oldest daughter OF
the Secretary of State will awaken III uch sym
pathy for her sorrOwful parents throughout the
Union. The American people are sharp upon
each other in matters of political opinion and
policy, but they are quickly touched with a
neighbor's misfortune or ailiiction. The cir
cumstances of Miss Bayard's death are pecui-
iarly sad and will add 10 the grief of her own
and her family's friends. Miss Bayard was
great favorite IN Washington society, and her
gracious presence will be much missed.
II would have been money in the pocket of
the French Republic, and blood in its veins, II
its Government had long ago assumed the pol
icy in regard to colonial enterprise which the
new Cabinet has just announced. The truth Is,
that the French people do not care for colonies.
They do not like "rOughlng it, and they hate
to leave France 1t is this lack OF interest
which has rendered the recent expedition to
Tonuuip futile The soldiers sent out there
were brave enough, but neither officers nor men
had any heart in their work. so their hghtlng
did little good. England with half the troops
could have held Tonquin firmly to-day. If the
French statesmen arc wise they will stick to
the resolution now taken, and strengthen them
selves at home for conflicts in which they could
enter with Zest.
The trouble IN this city between the cigar
manufacturers association and the cigar
makers unions unfortunately threatens to be
serious. The manufacturers insist on their
scale of wages and the wOrkmen declare 1T is
lower that what other firms outside the assoca-
tion are paying. That is quite possible; and
vet the associated firms might be justified in
having 10 more thai they can afford. The
lockout and strike which seem inevitable are
deeply to be regretted, even if the men have
$500. 900, as they say, with which to
feht They would much better keep that
money than spend it, To an impartial
observer arbitration appears to be just
the thing to settle this difficulty yet while
the employers and the employees have held sew
eral conferences, an arbitration upon their diff
cnlties has not been seriously suggested
Friday was n great day for dynamite ex-
nIosjons. One which occurred near Toms
River. n. j., was caused by fire in a building
where three thousand pounds of this dangerous
material wcre stored. Naturally nothing was
left of the store house, and ten miles away, at
Lakewood, the winter resort, tho hotel guests
were terribly frightened. They thought it was
surely an earthquake when the plaster came
tumbling down about their ears. The explosion
at Dobb's Ferry later in the evening also shook
ND that neighborhood in lively way. Nobody
was hurt in either of these instances, but II
will not be wise for people having charge OF
dynamite stores to grow careless on account OF
this good luck. Unfortunately, the fire.
ouency of explosions of late in various parts OF
the country indicates that the tendency to b'
careless is growing.
II is not mans inhumanty to mar

AN article printed elsewhere in THE TRIB
uSE; it is mans inhumanity to the brute
creation that dIscourages him. Yet IL
view of the remarkable success OF the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the
last twenty years one would think that thu

Nobody of intelligence ever belittles the i'm

To it, and to it alone, is due credit for the re
