A VAIN APPEAL.

It was funny snap when the Republi
cans put a low tariff plank in their plat
form and then appealed to Mr. BLAINE to
come over and advocate it. No doubt the
Plumed Knight looked upon it as the very
refinement of irony, when, after a two
months campaign in his own state, in
which he had not lost an opportunity to
denounce the Democratic party as an enemy
TO the government because of its opposition
10 protection. he should be made the re-
ripient of a bilet-dOuX from his Minnesota
ARTISANS. asking him to come into the
Northwest for the purpose of swallowing
himself in an effort to eKtricate them from
danger. Mr.. BLAINE has a somewhat in
consistent record, to be sure. but the Mime
sofa Republicans really give him more
credit for inconsistency than he is entitled
to. The impIoring appeal which the Re
pubicans of this state have sent out to Mr..
BLAINE to come over and help them is
evidence of the extremity of their helpless
condition, but it is hardly sufficient to warm
JAMES q. BLAINE's heart up to the sup
port of the good old Democratic doctrine of
q tariff for revenue only.

WHAT IT MEANS.

The nomination of HENRY GEORGE for
mayor of New York has probably deeper
significance than appears on the surface.
MIR. GEORGE is the nominee of the labor
oarty. and it is understood he accepted the
domination with the assurance that he
should nave at least Sc, 600 votes. There
5 deeper meaning in Mr. GEoRGE's CALI
Iidacy than the mere question of
whether OF not he can be elected to
he office for which he has been
aamed as candidate. There are, perhaps,
scores of men identified with the labor
movement in New York who possess better
qualifications for an executive Office than
MI GEORGE and who would have made
equally as popular candidates But Mr..
GEORGE is the special representative of a
distinct idea. and we take it that it is the
idea rather than the man that is now
brought into prominence. Mr.. GEORGES
candidacy is the beginning of an agitation
which may develop into serious proper
lions. 1t is the first organized movement
in the direction of putting into practical
shape Mr. GEORGES favorite theory of ex-
tinguishing private land titles. He has
been so prominent and SO persistent in his
advocacy of his theory that it will be next
to impossible to keep it from becoming an
issue in the municipal canvass, and when it
once gets an introduction as public issue
there is no telling when or where il will
stop. 1t is because of this apprehension
that more than ordinary public interest is
manifested III regard to Mr.. GEORGES
candidacy.

the possibilities which their cooperation
opens up are sufficient to terrify the most
dauntless.
Ii their manner of life is such that their
admittedly meager salaries and supposedly
princeiy perQuisites are insufficient to con-
tent them, the traveller has nothing to look
forward to but species of highwaymanism
against which there is no use contend
ing. lie must perforce become a
victim, and from his depleted purse
make up the deficiency in the porter's in
come. Should he refuse, none of the COM
forts usually to be expected on the Pullman
will be his. BY a sort of freemasonry
among the porterS he will meet with no
better fortune upon one line or upon one car
than another. He will, in case he refuses
the demanded tips. be a marked man, and
VIII find Nemesis. in the shape of dusky
individual welding a whiSk broom. pursuing
him whenever he ventures upon his travels.
In the interest, then, of the traveller.
in order that he may not be reduced
to beggary simply by the act of taking
passage upon sleeping car, the de-
mand made by the pOrterS that they be
paid living salaries, instead of the present
miserable pittanees, by the companies en-
ploying them, should be granted and the
present fee system abolished.
After all, what right have the companies
to expect the public to make up in personal
contributions the salaries which the Mig
gardlyneSs, no pun being intended, of the
former causes them to deny their porters.
