Much praise has been bestowed upon the
street pavements of Washington, with re-

Paris. No doubt the street pavements there
are the best in the United States, but the
same amount Of praise cannot be given to
the sidewalks, which are said to be in a
wretched condition. In fact, they arc so
bad that great many people, whose feet

TIE latest weekly financial circular of
Henry Clews & Co., New York, contains
the following reference to the president isl
election: at must be allowed that Mr.
Harrison's election was due rather to politi-
cal accidents than to a distinctly pro-
nounced national preference for the policy
for which he stands. The changes in the
vote of the western, and some Of the east
ern states, are clearly indicative of grow
ing hostility to, at least, the existing range
of tariff duties; and, in that sense, the re-
suit of the election is significantly suggest
i've of future tendencies . @ "The re-
suit has been TO encourage the tariff re-
formers, rather than to discourage them. ~
Mr.. ClewS, in a review Of the management
of the treasury department under Mr.
Manning and Mr.. Fairchild, says: at has
