SENATOR QUAY's daily tariff hint is
not inspired from Paris.

VERY NATURALLY the Democratic
journals hereabouts are endeavoring to
make fuss among First dietrict Re-
publicans. From Democratic pari-
san standpoint that is obviously their
move. But it will not succeed. There
ia too much good, sound common sense
among the voters of that district
Though they may not all be pleased,
they will certainly not so to the enemy
for advice or consolation They know
too well the spuriousness of the pros
ent Democratic clatter. They will
hold their own counsel, consult their
own interests and when calmness has
been restored act as prudence shall
then suggest. The assurance OF the
Providence Register that the North
End will be found in the proper place
in the election to be held next fall and
give her usual large Republican ma
jority"is hint not without value. This
will be too good o Republican yoar,
with too much at stake In the cleo
tion's result, to give more than momen
tary encouragement to efforts calcu'
lated to impede the impending Repub-
lican triumph.

4 NOTABLE ADDRESS.

At the meeting of the General Christian
Missionary convention at Richmond TINS
week a very notable paper was read oy
an Ohio man, the Rev. MIR. Smith OF
Ma.sillon. that State. His topic was
the negro and the South, and what be
said will do good and tend to bt'ng
ab,ut a better understanding ot the
problem. One good point he made at
once on opening his remarks, referring
evidently to lynchipg;
at is not the condemnation OF the
wickedness itself that hurts, but the
making i, sectional. Neither England
nor the North are so pure as to cast TIE
trst stone. England should not forget
her poppy trade nor her colonial poi'cN
in Africa. nor the North that she has
hung more negroes without law tor an
unnamable criue, according to her neSr"
uopulation, than the South. THIS sec
uonal condemnation has called out
nearlT all the apologies tor this Olachest
of crimes against God and man ana
country, in which all anarchists rtlolce
and which all Christians condemn, and
which the South deplores as mu II az
the North. The quickest way to get mei
their rights is to make them r'ght. he
spectablity is always respected, and th'
holy are no longer hung ON trees
MIR. Smith said he did not speak IN DC
tense OF the South; that she needed NJ
defense; and he made this striking point
