 eB-The present administration may have the courage of its convictions, but it is wise and far-seeing enough to choose the safest time for precipitating ! them on the country. IN. Y. Tribune.
 B-President Cleveland did his best to help his party in the late election contests. He kept the people from get ting peep at that Hawaiian report of Mir. Gresham's until the ballots were all in. This prevented it from being a unanimous thing in Ohio.-N. Y. Re- corder.
 EW-"Since the election there has been distinct improvement in business, particularly in manufacturing" This utterance, which is from one of the commercial agencies, shows that business men throughout the country feel that the recent republican triumph means still more brilliant and important victories for the same party in 1894 and 1S96.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Tariff uncertaintY.

Election returns compiled from the sixteen leading manufacturing cities of Massachusetts show 6 net republican gain of .s,7t2 votes in one year. The cities are Fall River, New Bedford, Hav- srhill, Lawrence, Lynn, Salem, Holy oke, Springfield, Cambridge, Lowell, Waltham, Brockton, Boston, Fitch burg and Worcester. In these cities the total vote for the democratic can didate for governor last year was 9s,- $40, republican, S0,916; thls year the total republican vote was s6.426; democratic, s5,63S. In these cities it was the revolt of the work ing classes against free trade It was battle of pallets and for bread. In all of these cities the wheels of the mills have been stopped as direct re- suit of tariff uncertainty and the fear of free trade. With the promise of bet ter times these mills will start up again, and with the congressional vic tory which will be achieved next year new impetus will be given to employ ment and wages will be gradually lifted back to the point from which they have fallen since the free trade victory of 1892.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 22.-Dr. Francis l..

Progress of the Work on the Tariff Bill
 An Income Tax Assured.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The sessions of the full democratic membership of the ways and means committee were suspended yesterday in order to give several of the sub-committees oppor- tunity to revise some of the schedules which had been ordered by the main committee to be altered. The sub committee on internal revenue was closeted all day in the speak ,er's room, preparing the separate bill which is to deal with the in- ternal revenue schedules and income tax provision. It has been definitely decided by the full committee that the income tax plan shall be adopted as a part of the new revenue system, and the details of the plan are to be per- fected by Messrs McMillin, Bryan and Montgomery. The changes in the in- ternal revenue schedule contemplate an increase of 10 cents per gallon on the whisky tax and some slight modi- fcations of the tobacco tax.
 Several hundred petitions inundated the committee from tobacco manu- lecturers of the United States asking that the Mckinley tariff import duty of s3 per pound on leaf tobacco suit able for wrappers be repealed, and a duty of 35 cents per bushel be imposed on all leaf tobacco. It appears to be the intention of the committee to re- duce the duty from S2 to about $1 per pound.
 Secretary Carlisle is to meet the dem ocratic members of the ways and means committee to-day to go over the bill iu I aAun

Grnrer.s Antooracy.

These who have followed closely the course of President Cleveland since his inauguration, last March, will not be at all surprised at his determination to restore the Hawaiian queen to her throne Mir. Cleveland's sympathy goes out to all monarchs in distress. He knows how it is himself. He has made himself dictator of his party. He hds arrogated to himself privileges, powers and immunities which no president heretofore has ven- tured to assert. He has withdrawn himself from the people and their representatives, and issues his orders from mysterious seclusion, regardless of everything but his own will. Evi- dently Mir. Cleveland favors antocracy in government, since he practices 1t himself. It is not strange, then, that he should favor the establishment of autocracy in Hawaii Albany Journal

Cured by Laughter.

From tie New York Ledger
Laughter has often dissipated dis
ease and preserved life by sudden
effort of nature. We are told that
the great Erasmus laughed SO heart
lily at a satirical remark that he
broke a tumor and recovered his
health. In a singular treatise on
laughter" Joubert gives two SINH
lal instances. A patient being very
low, the physician, who had ordered
a dose of rhubarb, countermanded
the medicine, which was left on the
table. A monkey in the room Jump
ing up, discovered the goblet, and
having tasted, made a terrible
grimace. Again putting only his
tongue to it, he perceived some
sweetness of the dissolved mamma,
while the rhubarb had sunk to the
bottom. Thus emboldened, he swal-
lowed the whole, but found it such
nauseous potion that, after many
strange and fantastic grimaces, he
ground his teeth in agony, and in
violent fury threw the goblet on the
floor. The whole affair was SO
ludicrous that the sick man burst
into repeated peals of laughter, and
the recovery of cheerfulness led to
health.

handing it from the same source.

situation here and asking for help

MURDER IN DANVILLE.
A Colored Man. Shot by a CoIored Wo
man,

DANv1LLE, Va, Sept. 22.-Dock
Rogers, colored man about 81 years
old, was shot and killed by colored
woman named Mary jackson on the
second story of building on Suther-
lin street, at 11:30 o'clock last night.
After being in the room a short
time, Mary Jackson says Rogers drew
pistol on her, when she struck it up
and it exploded, the ball entering the
throat, from which he soon died, the
hemorrhage being internal. When
Officer Gee entered the house he
found the man lying on the bed dead.
Lying on the bed beside the dead
man was a small pistol, which the Of
ficer took in charge. He then arrested
Sallie Darlington, Mary Jackson and
Sam alias Stump Clark and locked
them up.
The house:in which the murder was
committed was locked up last night
and the dead body alone kept vigil in
the deserted house. Officer Gee was
on duty on the outside, to see that no
one entered. An inquest was held
this morning.

From the Saw nnah News.l
One of the most thrilling stories in
the Bible-and it contains more
thrilling stories than any other
book ever ritten-is that of the
mach nations of the wicked Haaman
TO compass the destruction of the
He brew people, and his overthrow
by a brainy, beautiful and good
woman-Esther. In memory of her
services to them the Jewish people
established the feast of Purim.
Purim brings to the Jewish mind
"the days wherein the Jews rested
from their enemies, and the month
sorrow to joy and from mourning
unto a good day, because Haaman,
the enemy Of the Jews, had devised
against the Jews TO destroy them
and had cast, Pur, that is lot, to
consume them"
The feast OF Purin occurred early in
March. But the day before the be-
ginning of the Jewish New Year there
was born to the wife of President
Cleveland a daughter. And they
called her name Esther.
The parents were probably not in
fuenced in the selection of a name
for the child by the fact OF it's birth
near the time of a Jewish holiday.
But the coincidence of the holiday
and the advent of new Esther into
the world must be pleasing to the
Jewish people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland lay no
claims to being leaders of fashion, %
but it is sincerely to be hoped that
their example in giving their children
good ''old-fashioned, sensible names
names that they will not be
ashamed of when they grow up-wil
ill induce other parents to do like
| wise.
