-Honiton lace has q curious, checkered
history. 1t 10 said to have been fret In.
troduced by the Flemish, who took refuge
in England to escape the prosecutions Of
the Duke Of Alva. Many Flemish names
are still to be found in the neighborhood Of
Aoniton. In 1860 there was such demand
for it that France thought it necessary to
issue q royal ordinance providing that .
mark be affixed to imported English thread
lace. The two great fires ut Honiton in
1876 and 1867 gave the first great check to
its production. Queen Adelaide tried to
revive 1t after twenty years Of severe de-
preston by ordering skirt made Of sprigs,
copies Of natural flowers, commencing
with the initials Of her nams. This
does not seem TO have produced great
revival Of the trade, and when our present
Queen required her wedding lace 1. was
found difficult to provide the workers;
but eventually . dress worth 1000 was
made at the small fishing village Of Beer.
The English royal family have been most
constant patrons of Honiton lace, and have
done immense good In keeping the trade
alive. We will end by quoting few quaint
words from Fuller's 'Devonsh're Wor-
thles:" Hereby many children who
otherwise would be burdensome TO the
parish prove beneficial to their parents.
Yes many lame in the limbo and impotent
in all their arms, IL able Ia their fingers,
gain livelihood thereby; not to say that
It saveth many thousands Of pounds year

expect from their chosen representatives
such patriotic action as will advance She wei
fare OF the entire county; and this expeCta-
ton can only be answered by the perform
auce Of public duty with unselfish purpose.
Our mission among the nations OF the earth
and our success in accomplishing what God
has given the American people to do, require
OF those intrust9d with the making ana exc
cution Of our laws perfect devotion above all
things TO the public good.
This devotion wIll lead lis to strongly re
sist all unpatIcuce of constitutional limIta-
tons OF federal power and TO pcrsistcntly
check the increasing tendency to extend the
suoDe Of federal legislation into the domain
OF state and local jurisdiction, upon the plea
of subscrving the public welfare. The
preservation OF the partitions between
local care and regulation is Of
such Importance under tue constitution
which is the law of our very existence, that
no consideration Of cxpcdiCncy or sentiment
should tempt us TO enter upon doubtful
ground. We have undertaken TO discover
aud proclaim the richest blessings OF a free
government, with tho constitution as our
guide. Let us follow the way it points out.
II will not mislcad rs, and surely no one
who has taken upon himself the solemn obli-
cation TO support and preserve the cOnstitu.
ton can find justification or solacc for
disloyalty y in the excuse that ne wandered
and disobcvcd IN search of Il better
way to reacn the public welfare than the
constitution offered.
What has been said is deemed not map
propriate at a time when from a century
height wo view the way already troi by the
American people and attempt to discover
their future path. The seventh president Of
the United States, the soldier and statesman
OF all time, the firm and brave friend OF the
pcOplc-in vindication of his course as the
protector of the popular rights and the cham
piOu of true American citizenship declared!
"The ambition which leads me
on is an anxious desire and Il
fixed determination to restore to
the people unImpared the sacred trust they
have confdcd to my charge; to heal the
wounds of the constitution and to preserve
it from further violation; to persuade my
countrymCn so far as | may, that it is not in
Il splendid government supported by owe
full mOnopolies and aristOcraJlc es-
adjustments that they will find happi.
ness, or their liberties, protection,
but in a plain system void OF pomp-proteCt-
ing all and granting favors to nOne-dispens-
ing its blessings like the dews of heaven, UNI
seen and oufelt, save IN the freshness and
beauty, they contribute to produce. IL is
such IA government that the genius of the
people rcquires-such an one only under
which our states may remain for ages to
cone, until, prosperous and free.

THE CUSTOMS SERVICE.
Annual Report OF supervising Special
Apcut ,TrwrlI.

WASHINGToS, Dec. BIN his annual re-
port supervising Special Agent Jewell, of
the treasury, states that the amount re
covered and paid into the treasury through
the direct services of the officers and en-
ploycs of his division exceeds the total cost
Of such services by $!21 $50. This is eXclu-
slve of the amount involved in suits, COM
menced and undetermined; of reductions of
expenses recommended, and additions az
%gregating $685. i to the invoice values of
silk goods from Frame and Switzerland.
In Il discussion of the subject OF under
valuations and false classification he says:
While the chief officers of customs at the
principal ports have generally co-oDerated
heartily with the department in
its efforts to enforce the laws
and regulations in these regards,
the abuses mentioned continue. The un-
scrupulous still prosper at the expense OF the
public revenue and of honest importers, and
it is manifest that justice and equality
at the cuStum houses cannot be secured 10
all interested without a radical revision of
the customs and revenue laws and Il refOrma-
ton of the existing administrative methods
and machinery. He states that the high
duty on opium and the fact that it is easily
smuggled, has made it Il favorite object of
traffic with those who wish to benefit by a
violation Of the revenue laws. 1t is highly
desirable that the recommendation of the
department made last year for its seizure and
destruction OF the drug in that form where
ever found should be speedily passed by con
gresS.

THE MESSAGE ABROAD.
English Newspaper Comment
Cicveiand's Latest Effort.

LoNpoN, Dec. 3.--fSpccial Cahlcgram to
TnE BEE. The London Morning Post, com
m%cntiug on the presidents message, says;
'If America is really inclined to resume
negotiations on the subject Of the fisheries,
it will find the English minister animated
only by u sjncirc desire TO promote the final
and satisfactory adjustment which Mr.. Clevo-
land mentions. While unable to hold the
same opinion as MIR. Cleveland as to what the
great demands of the country are, the Post
thinks that it would bc better il England
would look to the disposition of American
statesmen in the future than TO wrauglc over
the past
Tho Daily News says that it would OK
press more regret for Mr.. Clcvcland's
acrimonious reference to the dismissal Of
Lord Sackvillc, If Lord Salisbury had not
set tho example. Mr.. Cleveland, it thinks,
evidently has Lord Sallsbury's fatal girt Of
u bitter tongue. In other respects the mos
sage seems to be the most powerful pcr-
Torrance which the president has accom-
plishcd, namely, the feat Of saying some.
thing both new and true about protection.
The News further remarks that the message
is likely to become a household word for the
orators of HYDE Park and Clerken-
well. The fisheries question, IL thinks,
will have a smaller chance for settlement
under Mr.. Harrison than under Mr.. CIeyc.
land, but, having only one great party TO
please, tho chances for the judgment on its
merits may he greatly improved.
The Chronicle says; "prrsidcnt Cleve.
land uses strong but true language about
protection. In regard to the Sackville mat
ter, 1t is satisfying to find that he rcfcrs TO ii
as an occurrence to be deeply regretted.
This is in marked contrast to Lord Sails
bury's llippant sarcasm. We hope that Lord
Salisbury will consider it u sufficient reason
TO appoint Il successor to Lord Sackvillc
without delay
The Standard says; president Clevc-
lands message might have been more grac
ious and dignihcd if he could only have
etraccd from his resolution the un successful
election coup which sullicd an otherwise
honorable record. We did not expect to find
him repeating his original error TO show
that he was ashamed of himself"
After quoting references to the
Sackvillc matter in the message the
Standard proceeds in a similar strain, and
through sentence after sentence of solemn
froth: "Englishmcn, y it soys, "can afford
to smile ut such puerile nonsense. Even
Americans will not pretend to take it in
good earnest. Doubtless Lord SaCkvlllc
was technically wrong, but Ministers Lowell
and Phelps committed themselves the same
way, though not in the same degree, scores
of times IN their addresses to Englishmen,
which were read with much cdificatlon and
not the smallest trace of resentment" The
STANDARD thinks the fisheries question now
has a chance of being settled.

The close of the year finds the United
States III the enjoyment of domestic tran.
guilty, and at peace with ali the nations.
Those international questions which await
settlement are all reasonably within the do.
main of amicablc negotiations, and there is
no existing subject of dispute between the

After referring to the convention of Feb.
