Profitable Projection.

The old hat-trimming cases are being
argued again before the federal supreme
court on some new wrinkle which the
lawyers have found These cases arise
from dispute as to the amount Of duty
to be laid on what are known to the

insisting that the treasury officials
charged higher rate than the goods

A Tariff for Revenue.

AS long as the appropriations made
by congress foot up SO many hundred
millions there is no fear that tariff
sufficient for revenue will be low
enough to ruin any manufacturing in
terest worthy of preservation 1t is
possible we suppose to pay too high for
the luxury Of producing in this country
an article to whose manufacture neither
the climate nor the habits of the people
are adapted. But all other industries
will flourish far better, as we have
SO frequently shown, under a tar
lift designed for revenue than one
which is framed especially to promote
and encourage an increased domestic
production. The former removes
every disadvantage the native manu-
facturer may suffer in competition with
a foreign rival; the latter is too often
premium Cd incompetency and a stilnu-
lus to overproduction- IL those who
believe that a highly protective tariff,
in spite of its manifest burdens, Is the
soundest political economy, would adj
NIT that the reforIners are as friendly
as themselves to every American inter
est and only intent upon securing the
common prosperity by what seems to
them a better system, the antagonism
between the two, If not less pro-
nounced, would at least be conducted
with less open scandal and in a better
temper-N. Y. journal of Commerce

MIR. puA1NE's CONDITION.
Ito Passos u Comfortable Day and I'll
Symptoms are Favorable,

SYmptonls arc FAVORABLE.
wAsHtNGroN, D. O., Jan. 15.-The re-
turn OF Sunday is looked for with some
apprehension in connection with the
illness of Mr.. Blaine, for the severe re-
lapses which he has recently expert.
enced have occurred on that day. There
ia no development to-day, however,
other than favorable, and when DR..
Johnston left the house at $3.50 this
evening no said he should not return
during the night unless especially sum
moned.
Early In tho. morning Senator Cam.
eron, whose house is Just across the
alley from Mr., Blaine's, sent servant
to inquire as TO the condition Of the
invalid. The attendant at the door
appeared cheerful and made an en-
couraging response, The first callers Of
the day, which was bright, clear and
distressingly cold for this latitude, were
Senator Hale and wife, who came about
1880 o'clock and remained hslf an hour.
While they were in the house Drs.
Hyatt and Johnston arrived to make
their morning visit. Senator hale told
the reporter that Mr. Blaine had passed
the most comfortable night he had ex-
perienced for many days.
James G. Blaine, jr., with q friend
and Miss Hattie, went out for brief
walk in the course OF tho afternoon.
at 8 O'Clock inquiry at the door elected
the response that Mr.. Blaine had rested
comfortably during the day, a state
ment which the absence ofsthe doctors
confirmed. At5:5O DR.. Johnston drove
up and remained until 6:25. As he left
the house he stated to the reporter that
his patient had passed quiet, restful
and uneyentful day. There had been
no appreciable change in his condition
during tho last three days, and none
was expected during the night. In
answer to an inquiry DR.. Johnson said
that to al appearances Mr.. Blaine had
not lost any strength since the attack
last Thursday, and on the whole he re-
garded his condition as favorable as
could be expected.
