The Weekly Evening Post

The New York Ecentng Post will begin,
on the third of May, to issue a weekly edi.
ton, having for its principal aim the pro-
motion of Revenue Reform, which has be.
come the paramount issue in national pol.
itics. The existence of an actual surplus
In the treasury estimated to reach $140,-
100000 on the Both of June, 1888, and the
further increase thereof under present
laws, are menace to all business inter-
ests, and direct incentive to wastefulness
and corruption in the appropriations Of
public money. The attention of the peo-
pie having been strongly drawn to this
subjec: by the President In his last annual
message, the need of information and pop
ular enlightenment on questions of revenue
and taxation has been increasingly felt In
all parts of the country.
1t Is the intention of the management TO
make first class weekly newspaper of 10
pages. Subscription price 81 per year. A

A SuppentIOu.

A thought is suggested by the multipli-
city OF strikes that parents and educators
could digest with profit 1t is this in spite
Of the fact that strikes are numerous and
severe 1t yet remains true thatthe only thing
really we'll paid is personal skill In the
trades. The Interest on money Is growing
less year by year; the profits to tradesmen
are 80 small that small dealers are being
forced TO the wall particularly In the cities /;
and small manufacturing is VIGOROUSLY a
poor investment for any man. But the
highly skilled workman has certainty Of
steady employment at good wages, If he
remains master of himself. He can live
comfortably, accumulate property, and save
money for old age.
A solution for the labor difficulties lies
more In the mental reorganization of the
community than In any other issue. The
question suggested Is, how far our schools
are working to bring about this re-organi

tique of Little Puck" given in that city,

There Is bunch of DireCtOire costumes
in the last act OF Little Puck" which
takes the breath away from the audience
and strains the nervous system OF the front

with low neck and tie back variations. If
there can be said to be special features in
a sensation which is made up OF them they
are furnished by Bessie Samson and Rifle

the direction of tie. back and Miss Deaves'
takes leap toward the apogee OF the low

problem of how girl can be fairly well
clothed, bodied and skirted, and yet not
appear to be clothed at all. 1t Is clear
case of maiden defying the modiste or
mOdiste defying society, one or the other.
Miss Sanson's tie back begins somewhere
near her waist-line, just below the end of
her skirt and extends around the cape OF
the figure almost to her ankles, and when
she makes hundred.yard dash across the

was nothing worth fighting for in Vir-

is now the measure of his concern for
us--his sympathy for our efforts to Re-
publicanize the State So it was that
we had no help and no recognition at
the hands Of his National Committee
in 1884.
There was nothing then worth fight
ing for in Virginia, and the State was
given the go-by and cold shoulder, Mr..
Blaine himself refusing to come inside
the State when he was as near as West
Virginia. If he be nominated now no
one should doubt that We shall be given
the cold shoulder as in 1884, that we
shall be absolutely abondoned-givcn

agement, unless by the very solidity

ton at Chicago we. compel these con-
siderations. This we may DO if we go
there as a unit, and it is our only safety
in the event of his nomination and
election.
A number of other reflections and
charges arc made against Mr. Blaine.
