made the confines of the place where

telligence while in his right mind
could possible declare that New Eng
land buys no iour or provisions IN the
West. There is hardly pound OF flour used
In the New England States but comes from
tile West, and as for provisions our meat
and pork come largely from that section.
The Chicago Tribune, commenting on Mr..
Dickinson's statement, says
"ImagIne man with any pretensions to intelli-
gence talking thus New England is the largest
and best customer for the grain and meat OF the
West With population OF nearly nye Million
that section does not raise million bushels of
wheat. II does not raise 100000 bushels of
corn, where Illinois raises 1875, 100000. She buys
OF the West 60 to 20 per cent of the meat she eats
and fully SO per cent of the wheat she consumes
Since the completion OF Ihe western railroads ex-
structiye competition Of the grain growers of the
West the people of that section have not tried To
raise enough TO feed themselves. They raise
much sweet corn, which they can, for ,sale they
cut considerable hay TO feed their mich cows ;
they grow potatoes, especially in Maine, where
they make starch of them; they pay much atten-
ton TO dairying; and they raise fine horses and
considerable garden truck. Nearly half of the
innapltants are engaged in manufacturing, and
they look TO the West for the bulk of all that they
eat. The South buys from us some flour and ba-
con- but neither in quantity nor variety do its
purchases compare with those of New England
Inc SCUM mas little that we want to buv New
england has much and hence she is our best Gus
toner. Sire must have consumed last wear about
o,oUU,OOO barrels of Western -four. Where else

POSTMASTER General Dickinson, whose zeal
ior Cleveland and free trade appears to ex-
coed that Of all the other cabinet officers mt
together, is making some astounding reyela-
tions to the people Of the West. Notwitb-
standing the great Democratic victory IN
Maine, Mr.. Dickinson appears to have a
peculiar spite against New England, and he
has been venting it in the columns of the
Chicago Herald. Among other statements
made to the Herald reporter was this, which
for boldpess Of misstatement is entitled to
carry off the prize. No Democratic orator
can hope to Guido it. He said:
1.-THE West pays tribute and tax to New Eng
land and gets nothing in return for it. They don't
buy pound OF Western produce. They buy
neither our hour nor our provisions. Talk about
the manufacturing States afording a shome
marketp They buy nothing from tile West, but
only sell their products TO US. The South buys
from us, and takes our -four and proyisions The
surplus we sell to England at her prices"
The most charitable supposition is that the
Postmaster General was filled with new wine
when he fired off the above, for it seems i'm
possible that man Of Mr.. Dickinson's in

1t is now said that the President will not
give Hill letter of endorsement, preferring
political death by assassination rather than
by suicide. Well, the great American pub
lie is not deeply concerned about the method

should select that. If he prefers to be knitted
by Hill's friends rather than by the Mug
wuinps, all right.

There is certainly no comfort for Demo-
Gratis in the Connecticut town elections. All
the changes have been in favor Of the kepub-
licans. OF course elections of this nature are
notvery significant, inasmuch as great many
questions of apurely local character enter into
them and tend to break political lines New
erthelessthey are always affected to greater
or less extent by general politics and in
the face of a presidential campaign that in
fuence is likely to be much more marked
than in an off year. Republicans there
fore are justified in pointingt to these elections
as showing drift in their favor.

1t is probably pretty well instilled into the
mind of the third class post master that he
can contribute to the Democratic campaign
without running the risk Of term in the
penitentiary; also that he cannot refrain
from so doing without incurring great risk of
being bounced. No more official circulars to
convince him of these things are needed

1t looks now as IL Mayor Hewitt would be
re-nominated for Mayor of New York and
would accept. Hewitt since he has been
mayor has affronted great many people
especially citizens of foreign BIRTH That he
will be numerically cut by this class there
can be no doubt. On the other hand, his adj
ministration has been characterized by an
honest purpose, and doubtless his ugliness
has blocked many schemes for looting the
city, so that he is pretty sure of big vote
from people who have no axes to grind and
whose only concern is that man be at the
head of the city government sharp enough to
know swindle when he sees it and honest
and courageous enough to kick the authors
into the street. Hewitt appears to have
these qualifications. A great many New
York mayors have been without them.

The excitement at the South over the yell
low fever has to large extent subsidized, and
reason has resumed its sway. The situation
however, is still very bad in some districts,
especially in Jacksonville, and the improve
ment which was announced some days
ago, has not been continued The daily
record Of new cases is still disquieting,
though happily the death rate is not very
large. There is no danger that the subscrip-
lions taken at the North will exceed the aid
needed. Business has been completely par
alyzed, and the opportunities for livelihood
taken away Long after the fever is exter-
minated therefore there will be need of as

The Presidents message on the Chinese
exclusion bill is well enough. 1t might,
however, have been shortened one half or
two thirds without losing anything of i'm
portance, and probably would have been had
not Presidential election been near at
hand. But the opportunity presented to
make himself solid on the Pacific coast, Mrs.
Cleveland could not resist and so he put In
half column or so of hackneyed platitudes
about the undesirability of Chinese immi-
grafton, and the inability or indisposition of
Cinnamon to adapt themselves to our insti-
tutions. The best thing in the message is
the recommendation that indemnity be
promptly given for the Rock Spring outrage.

Gen. Benet's circular, issued with the ap-
proyal of the Secretary of War, is to receive
thorough airing in the Senate as 1t de-
serves. In spirit and in letter it is altogeth-
or the most defiant spoils document that has
yet emanated from this administration.
The Mugwump press are constrained to
condemn, though they attempt to re-
neve the administration from the response
bility by placing it entirely on Gen. Benet's
shoulders. But Benet has stated that the
circular was the result of consultation be-
tween him and the Secretary of War, and con-
formed to the latter's ideas as well as to his
own. The intention was to keep the circu-
lar secret, but it accidentally leaked out.
There is nothing surprising about it, however
On the contrary it is strictly in accord with
the treatment the civil service has been re-
ceiyiDg from the administration since it be-
came necessary to whoop up the boys, who
were little cross, for Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
tion. 1t is of piece with the summary dis
missal of Superintendent Jackson of the
railway mail service. Mr.. Cleveland is
using the offices for all they are worth to
secure his reelection, and occasionally con-
elusive evidence of the fact crops out spite
of precautions.
