They Know Of Themselves.

The people know from their tax bills that
there has been large decrease In the tax
on real estate since GRANT became Mayor.
1t is useless to argue with them about the
matter, and to tell them that it amounts to
nothing. and indicates nothing. They have
before them the practical faot that their tax
bills have been reduced under GRANTS ad-
ministration, and that gain to their pockets
cannot be explained away.
The people are richer because Of the pres

Holland and the Gin Trade.

Holland now proposes to the other
European powers that each shall contribute
dxed sum annually to tho Congo
State to compensate her for any loss
she may suffer II the provisions Of the Gen.
esal Act Of the recent Anti-Slsvery Confer
encs ct Brussels, permitting tho Congo
State 10 Impose import duties, be annulled,
- the Dutch demand. In this event Hol-
land. Of course, expects to send all the free
GIN she desires into the Congo region.
It 10 not very likely that the powers will
sccede to this proposal. Holland occupies
the unique and unenviable position OF
threstsning to defeat the greatest philan-
thropic movement OF this age-ths emanci.
patton Of the helpless black millions Of
Africa from the scourge of the slave trade
simply because she insists upon her right
under the Berlin treaty OF 1885 to deluge the
Congo With all the ardent spirits her manu-
faoturers wish to send there.
She has thus made purely commercial
question OF . great humanitarian problem
which the representatives OF seventeen ns-
tlons have spent six months OF this year en-
dsavoring to solve. Even Turkey. Persia.
and Zanzibar gave their assent to the Gen.
eral Aot Of tho Brussels Conference. and
Holland alone stands out for free liquor on
the Congo.
The regulations under which the Anti
Slavery Conference acted make 1t necessary
that every power concerned shall sign the
General Act for the suppression OF the slave
trade, before 1t can be carried out by the
united powers. Holland has taken the re-
sponsibility OF possibly defeating the en-
tire purpose Of the Conference by stand
Ing out for free gin. Unless she signs the
General Act by Jan. next the work which
seventeen nations have been endeavoring
10 accomplish will fell to the ground.

Not His Funeral.

There Is one acute and philosophical vet
ernn OF politics who. though still politician
Of the first magnitude and enjoying an
unequalled popularity in his own party, can
await tho result Of to-morrow's election
without tremor. His name Is BLAINE. AS
faithful Republican. he doubtless desires
the success Of tho Republicans, and yet q
Republican defeat would not be without
consolation to him. In his few public ut
terAnoes during the campaign he has con-
0ned his attention almost exclusively to the
plan Of reciprocity which he succeeded, not
without much opposition In having grated
upon the MCKINLEY bill. Now there is no
doubt that reciprocity is popular especially
with tho Western Republicans, but II the
Republicans are successful in this years
elections Mr.. REED and Mr.. MCKINLEY will
not allot any Of tho glory to MIR. BLAINE
They will want 1t all themselves.
In case OF q Republican defeat. on the
ether hand, there is sure to be sentiment
among the Republicans that Mr. BLAINE
has furnished the one popular part Of the
programme, but has been powerless to save
the party from the disaster into which 1t has
been led by new and reckless leaders. II
Mr.. REED is supported at the polls. his pre-
eminence cannot be disputed. II he is
beaten. many Of the very men who have
been loudest In singing his praises will
murmur that his bold policy has been fool
hardy, brutal. and mistaken. Mr.. REED
will. OF course. be unchanged. but tho esti-
nation in which his party now holds him
would suffer should the election be signal
Democratic victory. There would be much
iteration OF the old cry Of fraud. but the
Republicans are perfectly aware of the
hollowness OF that cry. They want votes
and leader who can get votes. II the vio-
lent policy falls 1t Is natural to revert to
moro quiet and conservative methods. II
there has been disposition to elbow Mr..
BLAINE out Of the way, he will be wanted
again more than ever when the newer lead
srs have been tried and found wanting.
Whatever happens to the Republicans to-
norrow. Mr.. BLAINE will not be injured.

Questions Under the Lottery Law.

The new lottery law Is giving two depart
ments of the Federal Government consider
able trouble. The Postmaster-General is
perplexed by questions which have arisen In
Illinois and Indiana, and the Secretary Of the
Treasury has been called upon to decide
whether lottery tickets may be imported.
At Bloomington. ILL.,, a number OF news
papers print advertisements OF guessing and
voting schemes which are carried on by mer-
chants In that city In order to attract GUS
tom. The persons interested, being appre-
hensive that the newspapers containing
these advertisements might be seized In the
Post Offices. requested the Postmaster to
consult the authorities at Washington in re-
spect to the matter. The answer, In the form
OF letter from the Attorney General. is said
to have directed the Postmaster at Bloom
ington to allow the newspapers in question
topass through the mails.
The Indiana case arose out OF church
fair at Monroeville In Allen county, Of which
Fort Wayne is the capital There had been
a lottery distribution at this fair. The Fort
Wayne Morning journal published q list OF
tho winning ticket holders. The Postmas-
ter held this TO be lottery advertisement
the mails. Another newspaper. the Gazette
was also excluded "for publishing tho name
Of the winneriof asofa pillow which was dis
posed OF by lottery for poor family"
In the Illinois case the continued appear
ance Of advertisements In which merchants
solicit trade by means OF guessing and vot-
Ing schemes tends to induce people to put
their money into wagering contests. On
the other hand. in the Indiana case the mere
announcement, after the event. that par
tcular persons had been winners In church
fair lottery could have practically no effect
to influence others to risk their money like
wise; for. as We understand it, the fair was
over and closed before the publication.

The Visible Local Issues.

transit, or concerning the unjust oppression
Of New York by the Republican power in
the upper part OF the State. all Of the most
manifest and indisputable Importance. the

lutely silent.
The reason is that the PLATT element
Of the Republican party Is expected to fur
nish the bulk Of scorT's support. P1Arr

listing under his banner GRACE and SooTT

The Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed
must be about ready to adjourn him.
self. The work that he cut out for the
House has been mostly done, and un-
less the silver men break away, it has
all been done TO his satisfaction and
in accordance with his specifications.
Mr.. Reed has had a very lively session
and he must begin TO long for the
breezes Of Portland Bay. His record
as a House of Representatives entities
him to a vacation. He has changed
the House rules 40 that the minority
have no rights. He has uuseated
Democrats in quantities to suit. He
has admitted two Republican Territor-
les into the Union. He has passed p
tariff bill which nobody in particular
seems to want, and which many of the
men who were made to vote for it
didn't want. He has scotched free
silver coinage, although the West, the
South, and at least part of the East,
want free silver coinage. He has
driven through the House a bayonet
bill, which Southern Republicans do
not want and many Northern Republi-
cans are afraid Of
This is a big record. What makes
it more remarkable is that Mr.. Reed
has been able to hold together all the
Republicans in the House to policies
of whose wisdom many of them are
known to be Doubtful. He has made
them do the things they would not and
he has kept them from doing the things
they would. In some instances, as In
the case of the votes of some of the
Western members on the Senate amend
ments to the silver bill, he has actually
forced Representatives into voting
against their own interests and the
known wishes of their constituents.
There could be no stronger proof of bis
power. 1t is easy enough for the Con-
gressmen to vote for big job like the
dependent pension bill. He may not
approve the policy of it, but he thinks
that 1t will get him votes. When,
however, Congressman can be forced
into voting for measure which their
constituents do no approve, the CON-
manding quality of the master of the
House is shown in its highest form.
We have instanced as proof the vote
of some of the Western Republicans
on the silver bill. The vote of the
Minnesota members on the tariff bill
is another proof. The comparative
meekness with which members have
consented to the shelving of bills for
public buildings in their districts is
another evidence. 1t is wonderful that
there has not been mutiny. Mr..
Reed has been the absolute sovereign
of the Republicans. If the other Rep
ublican members had been mutes, mer-
ely approving in dumb show his edicts
their part in the work of the House
would have been no less insignificant
than it has been.-Ne,c York Sun.

know that there would be peace there

let the race issue alone. and they are
only discbsrging their duty as pstriots

turbulence. Business wants peace,
