Democratic Nominations,
THE TAX ON THREAD.

The tax on thread is 60 per cont. The census tables for 1880 show that there were in fifty principal cities of tho United States 2O8, ,829 men aud women working as tailors, milliners and dressmakers. The tariff on the thread consumed by sewing woman in day's..work, is equal to the pay she re- ceives for fifteen minutes work. Divide the number of tailors and sewing women by four, and you have 52,207! hours of work which go to the monopolist every day. Divide this by ten the number of hours usually counted days work and you have {, 1920 day's work which has to be performed by these laborers each day to pay the tariff tax on thread. And yet these 208, ,829 are not tenth part of the people who use thread.
 But when the democratic party insists that this is not fair, and that the hundreds of thousands of pale-faced women who are stitching away with this thread in the back attics of New York and the other large cities, are entitled to some relief, our hon orable republican congressman talk about the necessity of protecting home industry this thread industry has in some year. reached a profit of 100 per cent-and scoundrelly politicians propose to take the tax off tobacco and whisksy. The womel of the country, as rule, neither smoke, drink nor chew, but they do use thread. The question naturally arises, are they not entitled to protection It is in order for some brilliant enthusiast of the Mckinley school to suggest free chewing gum.

WolseIey, BouIanger and Moitke j.

LORD WoLsELEY reminds me of Gen. Boul, anger. There is the same endeavor on tho part of both to persuade the world that he ia regenerator, the same contempt of Parlia. mentary Government, and the same putting by d gang. The words of Lord Wolseley, quoted by Lord Salisbury last Friday, snacR of Boulanger. The style and the sentiments are identical. Whether either is worth his salt in the field is an undecided point, because neither has had an opportunity of showing what he is worth; Boulanger never having commanded in chief, and Lord Wolseley only having done so against Ashantees, Egyptian fellahs and such like foes. Wonderful, indeed, is the contrast between these two bragging, self-seeking heroes and Moltke, the man oi deeds. not of words.-London Truth.

SENATOR MCDONALD, of Indiana, makes this calculation of the result of tho cleo tion in that state: There are about 240, ,000 democrats there, 225, ,000 republicans and . floating vote of 25,000, largely made up of labor mon. To carry the state it would be necessary for Harrison to get 5000 more of the doubtful votes than Cleve- land. That is plainly impossible, not only on account of Harrison's unpopularity with the labor element, but because the greenbackers will not contribute to his support, while the prohibitionists are ire trievably alienated from the republican party. Senator Mcdonald has long been noted for the moderation of his election predictions, and his desire to maintain 8 reputation for accuracy, and the entire agreement of his calculations with those of Governor Gray and Senators Voorhees, and Turpie shows not merely hearty CO., operation in the support of the demo- cratic national ticket, but also g con currence of opinion on the chances of the election that adds to the confidence of all friends of the democratic cause.
