The Mark Lane Express, in its review
OF the London breadstuffs market for
1887, calls attention to the fact that inn
ports Of flour are destroying tho milling
business in Great Britain. 1t says:
1t will be seen that the total of wheat received
in London Is rather smaller than last year, but
that the combined quantities OF wheat and flour
are larger. owing to the very great increase In
tho quantity Of flour. 1t is a startling fact that
the bulk of four-chelly from the United States
(which has como to London during the year 1887
b larger than that received in the form of wheat
by quantity equal to 2SG,507 quarters of wheat.
Under such circumstances as these it cannot be
wondered at that the trade has been dull and
dragging throughout, and the facts as they stand
ore of serious import to the British milling in
thstry.-New York Tribune.

For one thing President Cleveland is EN-
titled TO the thanks of the Republican
party. Ile has boldly torn away the mask
Of disinterested friendship to workingmen
behind which his party has been masque-
rading for years, and committed them
Bquarely to free trade. or course he will
be labeled protection in Pennsylvania,
and, judging by all precedents, the Demo-
cratic convention will be able to formulate
q platform susceptible either of free
trade or protection construction, It ought
not, however, to require very long course
or reasoning to convince the ordinary
mind that whatever they may say, they
mean open doors to unlimited competition
from all quarters of the globe. This
Janus faced party ought to die, and its
epitaph should be, "Sucided in an attempt
to win English avor."-Rutland Tele.

''Is it a new shade?"
Eyes; you see it Is kind of straw

''Are many new shades coming into
the market for this spring."
'tAbout nine. A new light gold color
Is called Ebenier. Coral Is light shade
Of coral. as tho namc would signify.
Marine is bright navy blue. Coqueli-
cot, bright red poppy. Cardinal is q
little darker shade than Coquelicot, and
Ponpre still darker. veil-or is very

The presidents message has had one
excellent effect. 1t has brought TO an end
nil the Mugwump twaddle about his de-
vOtion to civil service reform. It was a
dishonest pretense from the beginning,
but the changes were rung upon it mouth
after month as IL it were real issue. All
that nonsense has now ceased. The prcsi-
dent is now a tariff seformer, IL You
please. The civil service farce is played
out and the free trade afterpiece has been
rung up.-New York Tribune.

Their True AiIment.

This is what ails the mugwump jour
nails: They made Mr.. Blaine's nomina.
ton shallow pretext for deserving the
Republican party. They are committed
to the free trade policy of President Cleve-
land. Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal leaves
them without the shadow of an excuse
for supporting Mr.. Cleveland except free
trade. They find themselves exposed in
their nakedness as free traders, and they
are agitatcd and looking about for fig
leaves. New York Tribune

that Mr.. Blaine has withdrawn from the
presidential field because his Paris letter
relating to President Cleveland's message

did not fall fiat, but it helped TO flatten
out the free trade boom, for ever since it

We are in receipt of a private letter
from W.. j. Thornby from Washington
City, dated March s., in which he ex
presses great satisfaction with the pas
sage of the Sioux reservation bill by the
house, and full confidence in the same
being passed by the senate at an early
day, lie suggests the propriety of the
people of the Hills getting ready, at
once. for the impending boom, which
we deem entirely superfluous SO far as
the people of Cluster are concerned, who
have long since declared themselves
ready for it's much expected advent.
John III. King is accredited with having
done good work in the interest Of the
Sioux bill ; Peel, Of Kansas, is referred
to as being a worker in our interests, a
good democrat, and a good man, while
Dawes greatness is fairly acknowledged,
he is a rank republican, and somewhat
inclined to have everything his own
way, and claims that the Dakota press
has treated him stability. No reference
is made to the date of his return. but
are informed by his relatives in this
place that his arrival here is daily ex-
pected.
