The Demorest Monthly for July is full
of good things adapted to almost every
household. Short stories, essays, sug-
gestions and notes and comments on
topics of the hour are all interesting.
Plates and formulas of the most recent
fashions for women abound. The num-
Der is fine one.
In Lippincott's for July there is COM

Walsh are among the most prominent
contributors to this most excellent num-
Der.
"Godey's Lady's Book" for July is as
usual complete in every department. Its
literary excellance is undoubted, while
its illustrations are of the first order. It
is the oldest lady's book in this country,
and never flags in interest to it's patrons.
Its subscription price is, only $500 a
year, and the wonder is how it can be
furnished at so low figure.

The claw and order" folks of St. Paul
had spasm of righteous Indignation
this week because of the Hall Fitzsim-
mons prize fight which was announced
to take place. They met and filled the
largest hall in the city, resoluted and
appointed committees to wait upon the
Governor and the city and county au-
thorities, and finally succeeded in put
ting stop to it. They should have be-
gun sooner to raise objections and stop
ped it before so much money was spent
in making preparations, and saved the
city from the bad reports that will
be Tut in circulation. There was
fight announced for Minneapolis
and one for St. Paul at theatres
which were not mentioned. They
made terrible hubbub about two
men INDUCING in an exhibition of the
"manly art of self Defense" It was just
too awfully awful for such a thing to
take place in the 'Saintly city," But these
same goodey-good people read daily of
inhuman butcheries of Afro-Americans
In the South, both with and without the
sanction of law, and inconsistency hold
their peace. THE APPEAL is as much
opposed to pugilism as the best of those
who were so indignant that the outrage
against law and order was to be perpe-
trated in St. Paul, but it is of the opinion
they are straining at gnats while con-
tinually swallowing camels. The out.
RACES which are put upon the Afro-Am-
erican citizens of the United States cry
more loudly for redress and restriction
than these fistic battles between men
who belong to class, which, as a rule,
is composed of the scum of the universe.
The very best of the Afro Americans are
subjected to the same indignities and
outrages as the lowest and most de-
graded; no distinction being made on
account Of wealth., education or moral
worth. We would like to see these peo-
pie get indignant at the treatment &C.
corded to their Afro American brothers,
True, among those who were indignant
there are some who have denounce d
the outrages against Afro-Americans in
the strongest terms-notably Rt. Rev.
Archbishop Ireland-but it smacks con-
siderably of inconsistency to become so
Indignantly over little thing because it
is brought to them and to fold their
arms complacently and allow these out
RACES against 100000 of their brothers
to be of daily, almost hourly, occurrence
and never utter strong, loud, word of
protest. Consistency, truly thou art a
jewel" ..a-. -

Although the labor required in max.
ing these articles could have been done
by workmen in this country, although
every dollar thus sent abroad might
have been added to the earnings of
American citizens who work for a living,
the free trade attorney is not content
with the proportion conceded to foreign
ers. With brazen disregard for the con-
venience and necessities Of our working
people he demands such change of the
tariff as will insure an increase Of impor-
tations so long as European laborers can
be forced to work for lower wages than
are demanded for similar service in this
country.
The tariff reformer borrows no trouble
from the problem of finding work Tor
our people in those lines for which they
are by choice and education best fitted.
He is content with the edict that Amer

food and let those people who are will
