Within the last six month :
there has been a marked decline IN inn
migration 10 the United States. From

migrants Landed was i3.C1s. against

WANAMAKER' IS WAys.-Tnore is moth
ing intsinNcaliy improbablein the story
that POsumaster-General Wammnakcr
gave letter TO Southern man which
secured him coveted appointment
from the Treasury Department solely
ON the strength of~the latter IS purchase
Of bill of goods of the house of Waua
maker and Go. This is Just the kind of
a motive which would influence com
mcrcial man who is in politics rs q part
Of his business.
Mr.. Wanamaker IS appointments I'm
his own department have been dictated
by reasons which could only influence
"a man who is destitute alike of political
sense and a feeling of public obligation.
In some towns he has appointed fneu
postmasters against the wishes OK b0,h

TIE PARIS EXrOsIllON.-A London
dispatch says that when tho several
state Commissioners to the Paris
Exhibition get home and begin 20 tell
what the American show there really
is. compared with what 10 might have
been if the C0mmissioncr-Gencral had
been at all wide awake. there is going
to be some grumbliug. Almost all OF
them who have come back here after
their. official visits have the same
story to tell. The exhibits for America
are simply ridiculous. considering what
might have been done if euterprisiDg
Americans had been given fair
chance.
First and foremost, the French took
every inch of room they wanted in the
exhibition before any other nation was
given standingrOOm there. French
exhibitors are not crowded i'm one
single department. They have aEpro-
priated three f0urths of the machinery
bali. and monopohzed room IN nearly
every other department. Great Britain
comes next. but simply because her
commissioners were on the ground
nearly one year ahead of the American
commissioners. grabbing all the space
they could lay hands on.
UP WILL Go SUGAK-1he combines
aud trusts and monopolists don . think
much of Us common people. We were

squeezed, aud So squeezed we shall be
until the utmost greed of ayarice is
satisfied.
On the other side Of the East river
the barons are storing sugar by the ton.
Lighters are busy all the while. and
those Storage houses are bursting with
tens OF thousands of barrels and ba2s
of the raw material.
Why is thisy Well. for some phi'an-
thropic purpose. mayhap. Men who
corner the necessaIies Of life are
mostly warm hearted and generous
lovers Of the poor, aren t they ~. ).

profess TO have hopes of q Republican
victory in that State next November.
The nomination of Leon Albeit ion
Governor, which is now more than
probable. will, il is believed. cause
trouble within the Democratic ranks
by reason OF the hostility of Sena-
tor Mcpherson. and the fact that the
party IL now in the hands of the very
worst classes Of politicians. and that il

THE PoPE AND RoME.-The P0pe's re-
