Scotsman, at Venice. totally denies the &C.
curacy of an interview, in which he was
represented as admitting that he bad con.
cealed the cancerous nature of Emperor

mostly exaggerated, but that it was fact that
Emperor William had an aural complaint,
which was not unattended with danger, al
though many persons similarly afflicted had
lived to an old age. Emperor William, he
said, had infantile paralysis OF the arm,
which had impeded his growth and WIS the
cause of his being such short man, unlike
his father. The paralysis had slightly
shortened his arm, but he could Use it we'll,
and was otherwise active and strong.

THE AVERAGE cost of labor in the soft coal
mines of Pennsylvania Is rs cents ton.
According to the statements of the consular
reports, the average cost of labor in the coal
mines of Great Britain is 79 cents ton
Tho duty on such coal imposed by the
American tariff is Is cents ton. And yet,
with these facts staring them in the face,
there are people in this country who say the
tariff on coal protects the labor employed in
the coal mines, and that it enables the own,
ers of the coal mines to pay the hands they
employ more than is paid to the "psuper

ALEX ANDRIA.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8.

"rhO recent absorption of the Republican by the
Post has left the Republicans without an organ
here. The democrats are also without straight
out newspaper devoted to their cause and it is
not improbable that the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE,
published six miles below here will shortly begin
the issue of Washington edition.
So says the Washington correspondent OF
the New York Star in that paper to days
date. There is no doubt OF fact true blue
democratic daily is needed, and that badly,
at the national capital; but the GAZETTE has
80 much to do to keep the democratic party
in Virginia up to the line, and prevent 1t
from srayipg into the republican TOLD on
the tariff civil service reform, and some
other matters, that it, now at least, has no
time to devote to the Improvement OF the
party liz other sections of the country.

Mr.. REED, the republican leader of the
Z. S. House of Representatives, Judging by
his article on Democracy at St. Louis, " in
this months number of the North Ame11cdn
Reriew, is much better talker than writer,
for in all that Icing article, the only one really
good point he makes is, when, in abiding
TO the action of the democratic caucus on
the Mills bill. in restoring the duties in cases
where democratic representatives would be
disconnected, he says; "Can 1t be possible
that a people who would not suffer that
c'erkships, mere government clerk5hips,
should be bestowed for political services,
aud made great uprising against the prac'
tce, will permit the business of the coun'
try, the industries of whole people, to be
farmed out as reward Of party fealty, and

ciple, and principles can not be changed to
suit localities. If democratic representa-.
tives are disconnected by such a principle,
all they have to dc, in order to relieve them
selves, is to meet their constituents and ex-
plain to them thoroughly and understand
ingly the operation of the tariff laws, and
point cut TO them the especial beneh hts low
tariff ccrf-rs upon that class of people who
make their living by the sweat of their
faces-the men who constitute more than
nine-tenths of the voters of every congress

people want to make them vote The democrat.
ic ticket is that they snail correctly under.

TBIsIs the season for the regular annual
increase in the rate of Infant mortality. AS
usual, it ia attributed, in many cases, to
teething. Nothing could be more erroneous.
Teething is the result OF law of nature,
and such laws are not dangerous. There is
no more legitimate danger in the growth Of
teeth than in that of hair. The real causes
of the increased ratio OF death among infants
at this season of the year are delipquencies
In food, clothing and ventilation, aud want
of cleanliness in person and surroundings
The milk of healthy mother is the best
and only food baby requires. Next to
that is cows milk. But it should never be
forgotten that of all food the latter is the
most EASILY affected by warm weather, and
that it is spoiled instantly when put into
pan that has not been thoroughly washed and
aired, and into a sucking bottle every part Of
which has rot been scrupuousy cleaned
Strict attention to all the matters referred
to will prove infinitely more effective in re.
