Post Ispatch:-''The great demon
stration at New York to welcome
Blaine home from Europe is susceptible
of but one Interpretation. 1t is an
emphatic expression of the dissatistac-
ton of the great majority of the party
with the ticket nominated at Chicago.
The practical purpose of it is to acclaim
Blaine the favorite, the embodiment,
tho "uncrowned king" of the party,
no matter who may be its nominee,
and to hold out the idea that Ilarri.
sons election will make Blaine presi-
dent, in fact, as the ruler OF H%arrson's
administration. 1t relegates Harrison
to the humble position of a vicarions
candidate, a stalking horse for the real
master of the hunt"

The storm last Sunday night wrought
thousands of dollars worth of damage
in Carrollton and Carroll county.
Houses, barns, fences, orchards, corn,
wheat, oats and hay were utterly
destroyed or strewn for miles along
the track of the tornado. The Carroll
ton Journal says the total damage in
that county will reach into the millions.

There ia no question but that New
Jersey has undergone a great change
of sentiment OIL the tariff question dur
ing the past six or eight years. Demo.
cratic workmen are no longer deceived
by the cry that high protection of a
ufactures necessarily ean protection
to labor. They have seen the manufac-
turers close their works or scale wages
when the market was glutted by over
production; they have seen cheap
foreign labor imported into the state
to displace the better and more inIelli-
gent American laborer in order that
the men already rich might get rich tho
faster; and they are, therefore, no
longer moved by the false alarms
raised by the monopolists who contro |
the over-protected industries.

Post Dispatch This promises to be
a year of political flops. The news
papers of both parties arc filed with
statements of men who declare that
they intend to leave one or the other
of the two parties. Most of the alleged
flops may be put down as campaign
trash, pure and simple, but there is one
thing about them which is significant.
This is that all the Hopping to the re-
publicans is done by fattened manu-
facturers and rich mOnopolists who are
sure that the Chicago platform offers
better protection for their profits than
the democratic platform. They are the
men who do not vote for the party or
the public good, but for themselves.

A SMALL BOYS REVENGE.
He Creates . Family Row Over Hi
Fathers Pretty Typewriter.

A good story IL told on certain well-known
lawyer, who now has one Of his daughters to
manipulate his typewriter instead of the
winsome blonde who was formerly hand
some piece of furniture in his office. The
change came about in this way:
One day his ten-year-old son wandered into
hi ONCE just a. the legal light was examining
letter written by the hired amanuensis. In
order to read the letter it was necessary for the
lawyer to bend over the back OF the young
lsdy's chair. The youngster looked at his par
emit, took in the situation, and then said: PA,
want quarter"
~ I'm busy now, don't bother me, boy" said
the father and he continued to hang over the
shapely shoulder of the fair typewriter and
peruse the letter which she held in her hand.
You'd better give it to me and I'll clear out"
Don't worry me, tell you" said the father.
Cant you see that am busyr'
The youngster didn't say any more, but just
hung around the Office. He looked out Of the
window and counted the white horses as they
went by; he pasted a row Of notarial seals
across one of the desks; he emptied some sand
into an inkstand and then thickened the COM
pound with mucilage, and did lot of other
mischievous tricks such as will only suggest
themselves 10 a ten-year-old boy. But he kept
o close watch on the governor and the type
writer, and every now and then would shrug
his shoulders, as much as to say: ''I'll get even
with you"
Finally, the lawyer was ready to go home,
and taking his little boy by the hand they
walked to their modest appearing but hand
somely furnished residence. Very little was
said on the way and the father was evidently
nettled at what he considered the misbehavior
of his son. When the family sat down to din
ner he narrated the circumstances to his wife,
and she sternly told the young man that if he
could not behave himself she would not let him
60 down to his fathers Office again.
The boy didn't seem to mind that much, and
finally said, as he balanced his fork on his fore
finger: perhaps / was somewhat rude and i'm
patient, but, mamma, if you'd seen pa lean
over that pretty typewriter and play with her
bangs and whisper in her ear you'd have
thought he'd been glad to give me quarter to
get me out of the way. 1 never knew how
much pa was stuck ON her before"
The youngster was sent away from the table
in disgrace, and he subsequently, received strik-
ing evidence of parents wrath, but there
was also an argument between the parents that
resulted in the dismissal of the fair typewriter
the following day.

The Eleventh Census.

An IMPORTANT MEMORIAL PRESENTED TO THE
SENATE.
Senator Hale presented in the Senate yester-
day a memorial praying that in taking the
eleventh census a thorough examination shall
be made Of the condition of the industries
Of the country, of the employment and idle
ness Of the people, of the tenures and amounts
of the holdings of the lands of the nation by
individuals. companies, and corporations, and
Of the indebtedness or liabilities in the form of
mortgages or deferred installments under con-
tracts for sale and purchase, now resting upon
tho farms and produce gardens Of the people.
This same memorial was presented to the
Senate by Senator David Davis February 2S
1879. and the law was so adjusted as to author
ize the inquiry, but the census Office disre-
garded the law, hence the necessity for another
memorial. The petition is signed by VIM.

The Romance of q Cab.

from tne Tr0nton Times
A line Of street cabs has been established in
Trenton, and already one of them has de-
veloped pretty romance. The other evening
q merchant, tired out after hard days jaunt
in New York. walked up the incline at the Clin-
ton street station and got into one Of the new
cabs. As he entered he saw that a lady had
taken . seat, and would evidently be a fellow
traveller down town. He politely raised his
hat, and the vehicle dashed down Clinton
avenue TO State street.
As they turned the corner on the way to the
center OF the city the electric light flashed into
The dark little compartment, and in a moment
two eyes were fixed on two others on the oppo-
rte side Of the cab. The eyes had not met for
many month. and one pair belonged to hus-
band and another TO his wife, The pair had
parted. a. many people part, over a slight diff
Guilty, and the unthought-of meeting was the
mean. Of making happy home which had
been dreary for many day. At first neither
spoke; then hand was extended and grasped,
and e the cab crossed the canal bridge the
equilibrium Of the vehicle was lost, for both
sat together, and they alighted together.
