thing for the tobacco trade generally, as dealers
can, under the guarantee of the trust 90 on
and purchase as usual, and there will in con-
sequence be no disturbance OF the trade But
If 1t is good thing for the tobacco trade it is
simply a magnificent thing for the manufac-
turers' trust, which will by it be enabled to
make clear additional profit of two cents on
every pound OF tobacco and snuff sold to deal
ers Tor months to come; for, while the trust is
pledged to sell at present rates, it will after
January pay to the Government two cents
per pound less in taxes than it is now paying.
The immense profits that the trust will thus
gather in in the course of few months NAV be
easily figured out when it is known that last
year taxes were paid on over 213, 900 900 pounds
of manufactured tobacco, and over 5000, 900
pounds of snuff.
There is no doubt that Secretary Blaine went
over to Philadelphia unwllingly yesterday A
close personal friend of his admitted it was
true that Mr.. Blaine would have preferred to
stay at home. The excuse given was that Mr..
Blaine has now reached an age when he feels
inclined to take his ease as much as possible
and to keep out of the excitement and turmoil
OF politics. especially when things are so fear
tully mixed as they are this year in Pennsyl-
vania. This friend of Mr.. Blaine's clearly indi-
Gated that both himself and the Secretary were
quite prepared for the defeat of Quay and
Delamater on Tuesday. This was no doubt
another reason why Mr.. Blaine did not wish to
go to Philadelphia and identify himself with a
losing cause. eff anything can save Della
mater" Mr.. Blanes friend said. "Mr. Blaine,s
appearance on the platform in his behalf will

Leaves of Trees and Books.

The use Of the liber or inner bark OF trees
among the ancients is we'll known. In the
Philosophical Transactions Sir John Clark says:
"Ihe most ancient sort of chartd(or paper was
of the inner bark of a tree called Aber in Latin,
whence book had the name of Hber but very
little Of this sort is now in being" Hence the
especially of palms, formerly USED for writing
on. Thus we as familiarly speak of the leaf of
a book as the leaf of a tree.

Whether the omission of the tobacco-tax re-
bate section from the Mckinley bill was acci-
dental or otherwise, or whether it invalidates
the bill or not, the tobacco manufacturers
combine is likely to profit handsomely by it.
In the absence Of rebate section in the bill,
dealers in tobacco would naturally buy no more
than they felt sure Of selling before January /,
when the reduced tax on tobacco goes into ef-
1ect. This would cause considerable disturb
ahce IN the tobacco trade. To prevent this the
tobacco trust, or combine, announced to the
dealers OF the country few days ago that in
consequence OF the omission of the rebate sec
lon from the Tariff bill the trust had agreed to
guarantee that no reduction whatever should
pe made in the manufacturers prices of to-
baeco and snuff as long as any tobacco and
shul taxed at present rates remained in the
hands OF dealers This, of course, is a good

Our artist to-day turns his playful fancy loose
on the subject of the assessment of Govern
ment clerks by the campaign fund collectors,
and the result of his studies will be found on
the first page Of the supplement. His investi-
cations into the assessment question evidently
did not convince him that the clerks as rule
have been grievously oppressed, for his cartoon
shows unmistakable traces of satirical ten
dency that would hardly be developed by
man who felt he was wrestling with great
evil. And the fact that our clever and we'll
informed artist feels justified in treating the
subject in this way conveys the pleasing assur-
ance that the dangerous and degrading prac-
tice of dragooning Government employees into
giving up portion of their hard-earned salaries
to help along the fortunes of aspiring politi-
clans has been well-nigh broken up by the
operations Of the civil service law as admins
tered by those fearless and alert guardians of
it, Messrs. ROOSEVELT and THOMPSON.

The annual report Of Maj. MOORE, Superin-
tendent Of Police, forecast Of tue leading
features Of which has been made public, prom
ises TO be an unusually interesting document, as
in it Maj. MOORE calls attention afresh to many
subjects of great importance to the citizens of
Washington. The evils of oYercrowding in the
tenement-houses in the narrow alleys Of the city
are placed in the strongest light by the state
menU that 10000 people, or al eighth part of
the entire population, are thus housed. In a
large proportion Of cases, it is said, entire fami
lies live in single rooms in these alley tene-
ments, which arc the great breeding-places of
vice and crime as the police statistics show. 1t
is difficult to see what can be done to remedy
this deplorable state Of affairs, but it is well TO
call the attention of Lumanitarians to it, There
should be a fine field in these crowded alleys for
missionary work. Maj. MOORE is anxious to do
what he can toward keeping good order and re-
pressing crime in them, and with that object in
view asks an increase in his force OF men.
Another recommendation by Maj. MOORE which
should receive the attention Of the public and
OF Congress is that looking to the establishment
OF the police magistrate system, This matter
has already been widely agtated, but nothing
has been done about il OF practical nature. II
is a reform in the interest Of justice and human
ity, and an organized movement should be made
by our publc-spirited citizens to have it brought
about.

Explorers seem to be a quarrelsome lot,
whether they operate in the icy north or in the
torrd tropics. Perhaps the extremes of heat or
cold to which they are exposed have a bad eff
feet on their tempers. Perhaps it is this COM
bined with those jealousies which seem to find
\ peculiarly congenial breeding ground in the
breasts of all who thirst for glory. Whatever
the causes, it is certain that nearly all great ex-
ploring expeditions have been followed by
scandals, charges, and countercharges among
those who took part in them. The scandals of
STANLEY's latest African expedition are now
coming out, and they threaten to become I'M
usually fragrant and violent. No one has ever
suspected STANLEY Of possessing the gentleness
OF the lamb, and it stands to reason that his ex-
petitions through the wilds of Africa could not
have been conducted 10 successful issue un-
der the regulations that usually govern Sun
day-school picnic. On the other hand, STAN
LEY's reply to the charges brought against him
by Maj. BARTTELOT's brother does not place the
explorer in a favorable light 1t is not manly
nor generous, and the manner in which it was
made showed a spitefulness of which STANLEY
should be incapable. But all this may serve
useful purpose in bringing to their senses the
hero-worshipcrs who are always so ready to be-
lieye man perfect in every relation because
he has shown himself great in one.

New Treatment of Heart Disease.

1t is we'll known that at certain stage
OF heart disease dropsy inevitably sets in.
Professor German See, of Paris, has long
been experimenting with a view to dis.
cover what element In milk rendered it
such an admirable agent to stimulate the
kidneys, increase the flow therefrom anG
hence prove of such great service il
dropsies, The conviction which he ar
rived at was that the one important ele
ment is sugar of milk. Acting on thai
theory he selected twenty-five patient.
with heart disease, in all of which there
was more or less dropsy. To each he
gave 100 grammes of the sugar Of mill
a day, dissolved in two quarts Of water
In all these cases marked effect on the
kidneys was felt within twenty-four tc
forty-fve hours, and the dropsies di.
minished rapidly, and after series OF
treatment lasting from six to eight days,
almost all such swellings disappeared.
This discovery is regarded as one of the
most important which has been made in
the medical world for years.-New York
