Boston Journal: What Lord Salisbury says about free-trade in England is in substance this:
 First-That after fifty years e-trade has failed to conquer the world.
 Second-That protection is rapidly ex- tending.
 Third-That Great Britain has stripped herself of the armor and weapons with which commercial battles must be fought.
 Fourth-That the adherence to free trade "may be noble, but it is not busi ness-like."
 Fifth-That retaliation is the only way for England to sustain herself in the con- fltct of tariffs.
 Sixth-That the United States is the chief offender.
 Seventh - That, nevertheless, Great Britain cannot retaliate against the United States because American food and raw materials are indispensable.

oountenanoe breaks through the gloom

countenance breaks through the gloom of famine-stricken Ireland, the shamrock wears a greener hue and the harps re- sound in loftier strains, while weeping mothers and starving children rise above their walls of woe, as their hearts and their heels resound to the thrilling strains of .sSt. Patrick's Day in the Morning."
 When. our brothers and sisters of the sunny south are smitten "hip and thigh" by the climate scourge of yellow fever, and destitution prevails in consequence of the cessation of industries, and suffer- ing is increased from lack of nurses and medical attendance, and the call for the almighty dollar of the north, thou goest on the wings of love to their rescue, while the air that was redolent with groaEs and shrieks becomes redolent with the exhil- arating melodies of Yankee Doodle"
 O! almighty dollar, be with us, we be- seech thee, attended by an inexpressible number of thy ministering angels, made in thine own image, even tho they be but silver quarters, whose gladdening light shall illumine the vale of penury and want with heavenly radiance, which shall cause the awakened soul to break forth in ac- clamations of joy.
 Almighty dollar, thou art the awakener of our energies, the guide of our foot steps and the goal of our being. Guided by thy silvery light we hope to reach the golden gate triumphantly, enter while angel bands harmoniously sweep their golden harps, and we, on the golden streets, in the highest exhilaration of feeling and with jubilant emotion strike the highland fling"
 Almighty dollar, thy shining face
 Bespeaks thy wondrous power;
 In my pocket make thy resting place,
 need thee every hour.
 And now, almighty dollar, in closing this invocation, we realize and acknowl- edge that thou vert the god of our grand fathers, the two-fold god of their chil- dren and the three-fold god of their grand children. Permit us to possess thee in abundance and of all thy varied excel lencies is our constant and unwavering Drayer Amen

THE Htna Pyrotechnic Works on Me chanic-st., Hartford, blew up about 4.35 on Saturday, killing five persons and in- turing three others. One person in the factory, Minnie Taylor, escaped uninjured. The killed were, J. L. B. Sibley, superin- tendent; Emma Tarbox. Maggie Daly, Emma Treganzy. forewoman; George Seinsoth, mixer; injured, George F. Stevens, Kittie Salden, Rose Harvey. The city was considerably shaken up by the explosion, and the fire department was called out. Several buildings in the vicinity were injured, in addition to the wrecking of that in which the explosion took place. There is no recovery for these damages, as fire insurance policies do not cover them. The distressing loss of life created much excitement in the city, the circumstances being quite simi- lar to those of the Park Central hotel wrecking.

THE report that Blaine will take

THE report that Blaine will take the nomination for president if offered by the Minneapolis convention consistently ap- pears and reappears in democratic news papers. There is no doubt at all that MT. Blaine was sincere, and intended his declination to be as. emphatic as its language implies. Those who keep his name before the people, without intending it, do good thing for the republican party and for it's strongest available can- didate, Benjamin Harrison, in thereby preventing the concentration of opposi- tion to MT. Harrison upon any candidate who is not out of the question.

A Washington special to the Hartford Courant says: The democratic oppon- ents of Grover Cleveland, who have been counting great deal upon the opposition which the Hill delegation would make at Chicago to Cleveland as candidate from New York, will possibly be surprised to know that Cleveland will not pretend to be a candidate from New York. The fact appears to have been overlooked by the politicians that Grover Cleveland now actually claims a residence in the state of New Jersey. The probability is that he has taken the proper steps to make himself legal resident there. At all events, it is said that if he shall carry the New Jersey convention this week, and his friends expect that he will, his name will be presented at the Chicago -conven- tion as a candidate of the state of New Jersey.
 Great damage has been done at the west by heavy rains and foods At Sioux City and other places many lives have been lost and homes swept away. An as- sociated press reporters trip from St. Louis to Carlo by boat reveals sad pic- lures on either side of the Mississippi river which is from ten to twenty miles wide, and is carrying down great piles of driftwood, eating away homes, drowning stock and submerging lands and islands. Along the section of the liver traversed it Is estimated ten thousand persons have been rendered homeless and soc, GOO acres of growing grain destroyed completely. To detail the loss is impossible. The stories are all the same. Every one with in the low lying district along the river has been driven from home and ruined. The picture, the reporter adds, is one too terrible to draw with pen.
 St. Louis Globe-Democrat No sort of food is better for the complexion than oatmeal and oranges. The finest con- plexions in the world are those of the Italian and Spanish ladies, who live large- ly on coarse-g grain food like the orange or banana. It is said that the fact is be- coming appreciated in the east, and that some New York ladies, to acquire and preserve good complexion. are living almost entirely on oranges. Half a doz- en for breakfast, with cup of coffee, a dozen for lunch, with glass of milk and 8 saucer of oatmeal, and a dozen more for supper, with crust of bread and a sip of tea, may not be high living in the proper sense of the word. but such 8 course of diet will bring complexion of peach and ivory which will drive almost any belle out of her head with envy.

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs, who is prob
ably one of the leading constitutional
lawyers of the country, is of the opin-
ion that under the Sherman anti
trust law, every trust, combine, and
corporation that is infringing upon
the rights of the people, can be made
TO respect the rights Of others. And
this he is of the opinion it covers labor
organizations as well, where they insti-
tute boycotts or deny the right of 9TH
ers to work when they decline. He
does not think that any more legisla-
ton is needed in this line. In this
connection it might be said that the
Chicago Inter Ocean some six weeks
ago secured information enough
against the coal combine to warrant
proceedings to be commenced against
the combine, and it did look at the
time as though some move would be
made upon the part of the officials.
but if anything has been done they
have been very quiet about it, How
ever, the airing the matter received
in the press at the time prevented
another advance in the price that was
contemplated by the combine. The
action Of the New jersey authorities
will also be watched with interest,
and any success upon their part will
make any future work in that direc-
tim easier

he was opposed to an extra session,
because he believed the Mckinley law

the poor poorer, but stated that if he
did believe such to be the case, he
would favor an extra session and work

THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY
CONFERENCE.

At the international monetary con-
ference now in session at Brussels, the
position Of the English delegation is
attracting considerable attention.
Heretofore all attempts to arrive at
some international agreement have
been frustrated by the refusal Of Eng
land to enter therein, and from the
stories that come from London and
Brussels it looks as though such would
be the case this time. 1t is said that
before the English delegation left
London, they were instructed by Sir
William Vernon Harcourt to oppose a
prolonged debate and to obtain con-
tinuous sessions daily. The American
delegation wants full discussion of
the matter. and opposed daily sessions
upon the reasonable ground that the
delegates who speak different lam
guages could not exchange views
without an opportunity to study them,
and have time for the preparation of
their views. This had no effect upon
the British delegation, and they only
assented to it when they found they
stood alone. The American proposals
were submitted to the conference by
Senators Allison and Jones Friday.
These suggestions are, of course, based
upon the monetary situation in the
United States They recommend
re-establishment and maintenance of
fixed parity between gold and silver,
and the continued use of both as coin
ed money of full debt paying power.
The essentials of an international
agreement, the American delegation
believes, should be: First, the unre-
stricted coinage of both gold and sill
yer into money Of full debt-paying
power; second, fixing a ratio in the
coinage between the metals: third,
the establishment of uniform charge,
if any, to the public for minting gold
and silver coins.
These proposals will be fully dis
cuSsed at the sessions this week and
will open the way for other nations to
offer suggestions. The conference
may be prolonged until some time in
the winter.
