only IN Ohio, but throughout the Ma
ton. Toledo Blade.

proving that Republicans favor free
whisky, Cleveland won't have a voter
left by the last week in August. Son
Diego (Cal) Union,

cratic party ought TO be placed in Il

mand for home rule for Dakota and

Bay~ Blaine's avowed intention is to
take the stump for Harrison in Septem-

pany him on part Of his stumping

BaE>In stating the present aspect of
the political campaign we find it duty
to say that the Republicans have thus
far entered upon it with more earnest
ness and activity than the Democrats.
and that there is nothing in the aspect
of the doubtful States tolead one to be-
lieve that the Democrats are yet sure
enough of them to make the election
of their President certain. - Boston
Herald (Dcm.).
Ea~No intelligent and candid Pro-
hibitionist can deny that the immedi-
ate tendency of his Prohibition ticket
this year is TO promote the election of
President Cleveland, and of Demo-
cratic free-trade majority in Congress.
General Fisk knows that this must be
the present effect. however ardently he
may hope that different result may
afterward follow. The question of
conscience for him, and for every Pro-
hibitionist. is whether he has right
to do evil in the hope that good may
come. " y Tribune

between Judge Thurman, Hon. Theo-
dore Cook and others in front of the
hotel, since burned, and reported as
follows:
Yes, we shall lose the State; the id med

Working-Men Can Think.

The old-time Southern epithet APP
piled 60 Northern free working-men
was ''mudsills" 1t carried with it
taunt that they were of inferior clay to
the naughty slaye-driver of the South,
and that they were incapable of mas
tering the details of politics or politi-
cal economy. Evidently Messrs. Mills
and Breckenridge have not gotten over
the old impression. Otherwise they
would not make the absurd mistake of
telling the working-man that the best
way TO better his condition is TO re-
move every obstacle TO competition.
No workng-man gifted with a shred
of common sense can be deceived by
such ridiculous assertions. There will
no doubt he Democratic votes cast on
election day by laboring men. but not
BY the workers who think and observe.
The latter class can judge by expert
ence of the effects of competition. The
Californian working-man, whose ex-
perience dates back 70 the days before
the advent Of the railroads. knows that
when cheaper freight rates did away
with the natural protection he had
previously enjoyed. his wages came
down, and he has sense enough to per-
eeive that If the artificial barrier
created by the tariff were removed, and
the products of foreign cheap labor
were admitted free, the immediate
effect would be to reduce his wages TO
the common level Of the competing
countries. Messrs. Mills. Watterson
and Breckenridge Nigh as well tell the
working-men that fire viii not burn
them as TO tell them that competition
viii not injure them. Francisco

A College tor BARRIERS.

There is prospect of the establish
ment in this ity Of a BARRIERS college,
modelled after the famous Ecole des
Coiffcurs in Paris. The professors in
the Paris school are experts in the fine
art which they teach, and the pupils
are trained to feats Of skill and to the
production of works of taste and
beauty worthy OF the court of Louis
XIV. The chief study, Of course. is in
hair-dressing. especially ladies' hair
dressing for SNOWY occasions, and here
it is that the professors rise TO the
heights that pierce the clouds. How
the hair shall be dressed for various
occasions, or in different seasons, OF
with special costumes; how the style
OF dressing shall be adapted to the con-
tour of the face and head; how CLASH
cism may be revived, atsvism modern
lied. and romantic or revolutionary
fashions encouraged-these are among
the lofty questions which are Illus
trated by the professors of the Ecole
des Coiffeurs. Every year there is a
concours, or competition, Of the rival
students, in which diplomas are given
and prize medals awarded The
medals are of three grades-the
bronze medal. the silver medal, and
the grand gold medal. After the con-
cours a grand ball is given, at which
professors. pupils, and other coiffeurs
display their skill in the saltatory art.
