The State Democratic Executive
committee wrote to Mayor Tyler ask
ing him to participate In the campalgL
and make IL number of speeches on the
silver question, tariff, etc, but Mr..
Tyler is confined to his room with ill
health and says it is enough for him
to do to find silver enough to keep him
self going without regard to whether
it was ''frce coinage" or not. He says
he has barn to rent for an election
booth. and thinks the stall in it n very
suitable one for some of the jacks who
made the new election law.

Daniel Ioihrop, the Boston publisher,
began his career as IN apothecary and
without college education. 1t was
while thus engaged that his love OF
books led him to handle them also as Il
minor feature OF his trade. After
building up his drug business, in part
nership with his brother who now con-
duets it after an association covering
thirty-six years, Daniel decided to be-
come a publisher; and as a preliminary
step he made tour OF the country, WIS.,
iting the book stores in the various
large cities, where he carefully studied
the demands OF the book trade from all
standpoints.

Amer the Pullman Company.

The Chicago, st. Paul & Milwaukee
Railway Company is about to attempt n
public service, which is nothing less
than to try to force the Pullman Com
pany into an exhibition Of its immense
profits.
The profits Of such a company might
be considered entirely its own affair
but since this particular company lives
largely by gouging the public, its az
fnirs become matter Of public concern.
1t is unfortunate that the suit OF the
railroad company cannot develop that
interesting feature of the Pullman bust
ness which is accomplished by the pres
sure OF the persistent porter on the pas
sivc and helpless passenger.
The Pullman Company has been an
enormous success. This is not the
ground of complaint. The public COM
plains because, to travel with anything
like comfort, tho Pullman cars must IN
many cases be used, and for the service
that company renders it exacts too high
u price from its customers.

There is no love lost between the
italian Government and the Pope, but
for reasons which official Italy think
sufficient it is desired to preserve Rome
as the seat OF the Holy See.
To this end Italy is not only unwill-
ing that the next conclave to choose
Sovereign PontiF shall be held else
where than in Rome, but it very much
desires that another Italian shall be
chosen. Therefore polite notice is
served on the other powers that they
must not let the conclave como their
way.
What brilliant stroke it would be il
the conclave were to make bold dash
and come to the United States, where it
would be courteously received and have
the largest liberty OF action. If it felt
like choosing an American Pope, nobody
would stand in tho way.
What striking thing it would be to
place such an American as Cardinal
Gibbons in the chair OF St. Peter.

It is decidedly encouraging to learn
that the friends Of the several Repub-
lean aspirants to John shcrmon's scat
will not fight each other until after they
have whipped the Democrats. Ohio is
naturally Republican State, and Nc
Kinley is the most popular Republican
in the State, but there arc few Demo-
Gratis left in Ohio, and some OF them
understand the game of politics pretty
well. ANY Republican who wants TO
60 to the Senate and can't wait until
the pending election is over should be
sraciously permitted to wait until he
comes back to this wicked world in
some other form.

A Grcnt LIcensc schcme.

The liquor license scheme proposed
to the Kansas City Council comes to us
only in outline, but it shows great merit
on its face. a man or woman in the
habit OF takinga nip must first get from
the city license ranging in cost from
twenty to fifty dollars according to the
tipple desired. Presumably the cham
payne topper would strike tho license
scale at the top notch.
a married man must so through the
iormality Of having his wife's endorse
mcnt on his application for license to
buy strong drink. This is u CLEAN OF
light on the liquor question, getting at
it from the right end. The scheme may
not be adopted off hand, but no great
moral movement succeeds all at once.

What /. Does and Who Did It.

Chicago Tribune.
The good of reciprocity attaches to
the wheat and corn raisGrs and hog
growers Of the West, on the cotton-
spinners OF Massachusetts, the furni-
ture.makers Of Michigan, the cotton
planters OF the South the butter-maE-
ers OF Wisconsin and New York, the
lumbermen, South, West and East, the
icemen of Maine. the coal mine and oil
well owners OF Pennsylvania, and the
packers Of Chicago. The reciprocity
agreement means the practical monop'
olization by this country of the lion s
share OF trade OF these two sugar islands.
After the treaty gets fairly into force,
the balance OF trade against us OF forty
millions year to be paid in gold Will
speedily be cut down and eventually
wiped out by expectation OF merchan-
disc.
The value Of the Cuban and Porto
Ricnn exports is about sixty-tivc mill
ion dollars year, OF these exports
S53,70O,0O0 goes to the United States,
leaving less than twelve millions to be
taken BY Great Britain, France, Spain
and Germany. But the imports are not
| divided in this proportion. Ihey
amount to S35,OO0,OOO a year, OF which
eleven and half million only are IRON
the United States. The latter takes 80
per cent OF the exports and supplies
but 80 per cent Of the imports. :,
That discrepancy will soon be cured
The United states will furnish more
than hall the total imports OF Cuba and
Porto Rico within two years, and those
imports will be far greater than they
are now, because everything will be SC
much cheaper. When people in those
islands can get free and untaxed food
they will cat more OF it. When they
can get clothing and furniture more NOR,
The Cuban imports from us will double
in 1893. The United states instead o
sending the inhabitants eleven and
half million dollars worth OF goods vii
send them fifty millions by 1874, o.

Gen. Francis 4. Hdlker IN me FOrhm.
Now, it is to be freely admitted that
between 1850 and 1870 the rate Of in.
crease in the pre.existing population OF
this country fell sharply off; and that
between 1870 and 1890 that decline has
gone on at an accelerated ratio. From
the first appearance OF foreigners in
large numbers in the United States the
rate OF increase among them has been
greater than among those whom they
found here; and this disproportion has
tended continually, ever since, TO IN
crease. But has this result been due to
decline in physical vitality and repro
ductive vigor in that part OF the popu-
lation which we call, by comparison,
American, or has it been due to other
causes, perhaps to the appearance, Of
the foreigners themselves? This is q
question which requires us to so back
to the beginning OF the nation. The
population Of 100 may be considered
to have been, in q high sense, hmeri-
can. For forty years the in
crease, substantially all out Of the loins
OF the 100000 Of our own people living
in 1890, amounted to just 100000, or
80 per cent SUCH '"'S W.
WINS never known before or since among
any considerable population, over any
extensive region. But rs the
foreigners began to come in larger num-
bers, the native population moro and
more withheld their own increase.
. Population showed no increase
over tho proportions established before
immigration set in like flood.
Surely, II this correspondence between
the increase OF the foreign element and
the relative decline of the native elc.
ment is mere coincidence, it is one OF
the most astonishing in human history.

An electric machine for drilling holes
in boilers and the sides Of iron vessels,
is one of the latest appliances for that
purpose. The machine has its own
holding.on magnets, and it can be swung
over the side Of ship or placed on the
surface of boiler, where it will remain
in position without the necessity of
clamping. The convenience OF this ap-
pliance, adjustable as it is, by the mere
switching of or on OF a current, is great.
