How, a Suob was Snubbed,

General Banks was as perfect gentle
man in manner as we ever knew, says
the Christian Advocate, and his dignity
and his grace as speaker were both
commanding and fascinating. His voice
was wonderful. In New York, during
the war, he happened to spend Sunday
and went to Grace Church, Of Broadway,
wearing huge white coat, as the day
was somewhat chilly. The tsunctuous
Brown" the usher of fashionable socie-
ty, long the sexton of that church, with
a keen eye for dignity, missed the mark
on that occasion and seated the. general
near the door in very unpleasant posi-
ton. .-.. =..z.....:.
As the house grew warm General
Banks threw open his coat. The mo-
ment Brown caught sight of the epaulets
of a major general he fastened to the
pew, and in his most obse qious tones
said
81 can give you, general, much bet
ter seat,'
.'No," said the ex-speakvr, with voice
that sounded like pedal organ note in
p flat, athe seat that is good enough for
the white coat is good enough for the
blue,' and declined to change.

SEES, neither party can primarily be held
responsible. Added to the hard times
has been the shameful record of delay
and division and trading on the public
interests which attended the passage Of
the Tariff bill. Not a few, also, OF the
best acts of the Administration came in
to swell the tide of opposition. Thous-
ands of Democratic workingmen, look
ing only at the sentimental features of
the Pullman strike and thinking to see
in the swiftness and extent of Federal
interference a disposition on tho part of
the Administration to champion the pow
er OF capital, either threw their votes to
the third parties, or for the Republicans
in order the more emphatically to make
them speak. One-half to two-thirds of
the Democratic party in the West is for
free silver; and the repeal of the silver
act at Mr.. Cleveland's instance, and his
opposition to further legislation, turned
against the Administration other and
more numerous thousands, and put the
Democratic party in four or five great
States in third place. We cannot find in
the result any pronounced verdict against
that measure of tariff reduction which
has been achieved. The Republican lea
ders nowhere pronounced in favor of the
restoration of the high tariff.

if fair trial before making any attempt
to again change it by either advancing
or reducing duties; and probably the lea.
| ders and the wise supporters of the Re
publican party concur in the wisdom Of
/ that policy. The tariff, therefore, must
be regarded as virtually dormant ques
ton. There are, however, very impor
tant monetary issues impending; and il
respect to these, while already under
contemplation, the country seems to hav'
preferred that they should be disposed
