A STRONG effort should be made to repeal the section of the Mckinley bill which exacts a duty of $l0 per head on cattle imported from Mexico. This restriction of trade between So- nora and Arizona has been felt very severely by our merchants and busi- ness men generally. All Sonora cat tie were formerly sold to be delivered at the railroad point nearest the line. The money was there paid and the Sonora cattle men left every dollar in this country that they received for their steers. Our merchants felt the effects of this stimulus to trade, which, alas, the Mckinley bill took from them. It is . cause for congratuls- Ii. n that this monstrous humbug has been declared an obstacle to trade, which is certainly is and hes been.

Great Fire in Columbus.

There was a disastrous fire at Col
umbus, Ohio, on the 26th, which will
be fourd to have resulted in the loss Of
several lives. The Metropolitan Opera
House and a shoe factory burned. The
shoe factory of Goldman employed about
204 persons; ISa of these were girls, sixty
men and twelve boys. The factory occu.
pied three floors.
The spectacle of girls going down the
fire escapes with aprons over their heads
was one Of the thrilling episodes that
caused the hearts OF men to stand still!
These victims were driven out of the build
ing by the flames and had not time even to
get any Of their trappings, the fire spread
SO rapidly. 1t is reported that Katie Troti
jumped from the window on the second
floor and broke both her limbs.
Very soon after the fire began to pour
out from the fourth floor Of the Opera
House block the great crowd Of spectators
were horrified by the sight Of a woman
with a babe in her arms stepping out of
fourth story window onto the fire escape.
She gesticulated wildly for moment, then
turned and disappeared within evidently
giving up in despair of saving herself in SC
dangerous manner. Two officers rushed
up the stairway through the blinding
smoke md flames, and in few moments
were seen again with the woman and child.
When the immense crowd saw that they
were saved, a mighty cheer went up from
those who had held their breath.
1t is thought that no lives were lost
The property destroyed will amount &c
100000.

SOME of these good people of whom
there seem to be so many in England.
who have nothing better to do than to
carry on airnless debates in communi-
cations to the newspapers have been
lately discussing in London daily.
..Are women naturally impolite?"
The answer to this ought to be SELF
evident and the question unnecessary.
OF course women are naturally i'm
polite. So are men. Politeness is
not natural virtue 1t is acquired.
In state of nature no such virtue is
recognized. There every man is for
himself 1t is when men agree to live
together under a social order that
some sort of consideration for others
becomes necessary and. as civilization
advances is gradually developed into
habit 1t may become an hereditary
or race habit among favored nations
and SO far we can speak of natural
politeness; but in general politeness is
the result of education. of contact
with the world, of association with
polite people

THE most ignorant monk who ever
twisted and plated together the lam
guage of the gospels and his own igno-
rant ideas of the poetical meaning Of
classical myths was teacher for
Shakespeare. He begged of him and
received gifts from him as from the
very poorest of the poor ballad-mak-
ers whose productions were hawked
about the streets to supply the intel
lectual needs OF the coster-mougers
and fsh-wives. Into the company OF
these, the very lowest of the low in
the intellectual world, Shakespeare
went and there sat as one of them to
receive the gifts they were receiving,
counting nothing common or too low
for him if it only supplied his intel
lectual hunger for knowledge of the
teeming human life of which his was
part; part which could only grow
larger in the whole and approximate
Iy comprehend the whole through this
begging Importantly, born of poverty
