MIR. SMITHS WITHDRAWAL

The deciination of eX- Mayor r. A.
Smith to longer allow his name to be
used as candidate for the Democratic
nomination for mayor will be received
with regret by a large circle OF personal
friends and by far the larger portion OF
his party.
Mr.. Smiths record as mayor was
known, and he would have been no eX-
pertinent. Circumstances independent
of his administration OF the office con-
spired to defeat him two years ago. aud
1t was only natural that he should be
willing to again measure lances with the
administration which succe eded him, but
which has brought so much disrepute to

own party. Mr.. Smith declines to be
longer in the field.
He would undoubtedly have been
nominated and elected had he chosen to
remain, and in his declination he liter

To say that all of the Democrats ia
vored MIR. Smith would be untrue. but
no one opposed him on personal
grounds. or because they did not be-

has, an honest, upright official.

He becomes. as it were, all automaton:

THE "CAUSEs Or OUR TROUB-
IES''

The Minneapolis Tribune falls be-
tween two stools in its endeavor to
make philosophical explanation of the
cause OF our Troubles AMI to obey
at the same time its partisan duty to up
hold the cry of its compsers that they are
solely due TO the incoming of Demo-
cratic administration. The increase of
BONDED indebtedness from seven tn Jus
sand millions In 80 to twenty thousand
millions in 80; the Barring failure; the
Australian and Argentine c3lIapSes:
theshrinkage OF 500. Oo0. OJJ in the crop
of 81; the wildcat speculations in this
country in realty and industrial stocks:
the formation of trusts with their mad
capitalization of wind, according TO this
philosopher, would have hal no effect
upon our prosperity had it not been tor
the unfortunate fact that the people in
this country by all unprecedented ma
Jorlty decided to retire the party which
had guided its forces for TWENTY-FIVE
years.
AS a result of this change. our parti-
san philosopher says that uncertainty
and diStruSt then seized every depart
ment of commerce and industry" Pros
Derity was dethfoned, industry stopped
its wheels and labor folded it's hands.
In this period of depression. when
stocks of all kinds were falling with the
rapidity of the barometer in low area,
Our confused contemporary says that
foreign Investors improved the oDpor-
tunity to unload their stocks and bonds"
We confess that we are unable to I'M
derStand this novel proposition. We
had always supposed that investors,
whether foreign or domestic, looked
upon period Of advancing values as
being their opportunity to unload their
investments: and, Notwithstanding the
dictum of the Tribune, we yet believe
that no Investor regarded the panic of
'9} as an opportunity to be utilized for
the disposition of his securities.
Another effect of this change in ad-
ministration, the Tribune says, was
that bad banks, inflated stocks, wheat
and pork corners, fraudulent trust
stocks and spec uIative bubbles Of all
kinds burst, and in their train brought
down good instit utions." 1t may be
that all Of these things, these inflated
stocks and corners. and so on, were the
good products of a Republican admins
tration, aud it may be that they toppled
over because a Democratic administra-
ton came in; but if this is the case, and
we are not disposed to deny the ac-
curacy Of our neighbor. then it should
regard the change of administration as
beneficial one, unless it is prepared to
maintain that 'bad banks, inflated
stocks. wheat and pork corners. fraud
nlent trust stocks and all kinds of spec
| ulative bubbles" are good things, for the
preservation of which the country
should remain un der Republican con-
troll. We fear, no viewer, that our neigh
Dor will hardly be prepared to take this
ground. and regret that it has married
an otherwise acc urate statement of the
causes of our tr0 bleS under the coerciye
force of partisan necessity.

The twenty fifth anniversary of ths
invention of post cards was celebrated

card was not used in England till 1870
the year which saw also the reduction of
the penny postage on newspapers to
halfpenny. But in the year before that
an Austrian named Dr.. Emanuel Her
man, who is still alive, invented the
post card, and it was introduced in Aus
tria-Hungary. LII 1873 it spread to Ger

international postal union. In Austria
