Trottina at View York.

Cloudy weather in the morning kept down
the attendance at the opening of the Oc-
tober meeting of the New York Empire
City Trotting Club yesterday. The opening
event was the 2:25 trotting, for which Hick-
orywood was the favorite at even money
against the field. In a field OF ten he had
no difficulty in winning. though in the first
heat Jim Mansfield drove him out to half
a length.

Baltimore, sold at SO and SIS for the field.
but the outsider. Hutra, won in straight
heats. The finish in the first was most ex-
citing, as the first four finished heads apart.
At even money Parkville Prince had an
easy victory in the do class and Miss
Kate, the favorite. landed the mile dash
after a close fight with Oscar.

our interests and the logic of
events appear to be insensibly lead
ing US.
The new year opens suspicious
ly for the prospects of industry
and trade, and the improvement is
tho more encouraging because it
has been gradual and gives prom
iso of being permanent. The most
gratifying fact is the secure hold
which we arc obtaining upon for
eign markets, as evidenced by the
increasing demand for goods of
American manufacture. he in
crease in our exports is being &C.
companied by % marked decrease
in imports, and we are evidently
fast approaching u time when we
shall be absolutely independent of
the European markets except in
q fow special and limited lines of
manufacture. Worry significant
events in the trade between this
country and Great Britain were
our shipments to that country of
coal and ship plates and the recent
order for American locomotives.
1t is true the orders for coal are
stated to have been duo to the coal
strike, and the shipment of ship
buildidg material and locomotives
to the inability Of British manu-
facturors to keep up with orders !;
but the ground has been broken,
and it is more than likely that these
orders will prove to be al open
door of permanent trade in these
commodities.

New Orleans P0Pullsns.

AS our readers know, the city of
New Orleans will soon vote on the
proposition to levy q special tax
for drainage, sewerage and water
works. We visited that city last
week and were delighted to find
that all classes of citizens favor
the tax. The women taxpayers
will vote for the improvement SOL
idly. The workingnlen will vote
the tax and 90 will the wealthy bt,.
siness men. We, therefore, con.
gratulate New Orleans anil the
whole state on the near approach
of tho time when our great me-
tropolis will be impregnable to
yellow fever and all other plaques.
1t is conceded that fever germs
csnnot live Or spread in q city with
proper sewerage. This has been
demonstrated by all the cities on
the Atlantic coast. 1t is time for
New Orleans to profit by the ex-
perience Of other cities. Quaran-
tines have already damaged her
business and commerce and still
worse guarantees are threatened
for the future. We have heard it
said that the whole state of Miss
issippi would quarantine against
New Orleans on the first day of
April. That would DO q proper
day for such u fool movement.
But there will be 40 danger of
quarantine when the city is paved
and severed. The work is being
pushed now. We never sa@ such
energy and zeal in any city as we
saw last week on many Of the
Streets Of New Orleans. Thousands
OF men are employed and they
are we'll paid, $3.50 a day boing
the lowest wages paid. That is
one Of brightest features of all
these public works, They give
employment to the laboring class
es. We take off our hat to New
Orleans and hail the fast approach
ing day when she will become a
leading champion OF pure popu-
lism. Monroe Bulletin.

The Coming AGE.

The Coming Age is the name of
q new review OF constructive
thought, under the editorial man
agemeut OF p. o. Flower and Mrs.
G. L. keifSnitier. Mr. Flower
was the founder, and for seven
years the sole editor OF the Arena.
This now magazine, though rosem-
bling the Aroma during it's early
years in some particulars, is more
constructive and optimistic in
character than was that magazine.
1t contains several popular fea-
lures, which, we believe, will up
peal to the general reader. One
original feature is 8 series of con-
versations by prominent thinkers
and recognized authorities in va
rious fields of thought. 1t is an
nounced that there are to DO three
OF these conversations each month.
These who have contributed to tho
opening issue are Mayor Quincy
of Boston, who discusses Munich
pull Progress in all exhaustive way,
pointing out the work which Bos-
ton is carrying on, and which pla-
COS her, in many respects, in ad-
vance of any other American city
William Ordway Partride, the en-
inent sculptor, poet, and critic,
who gives most charming con.
versation on Art and Manhood, in
which, among other things, he dis
cusses the futare Of American agg,
and shows why Freuch art 10 deca-
dent; DR.. Richard Hodson, the
scholarly editor OF the Proceedings
of the English Society for Psychi-
cal Research, who talks on the
work being carried on by the So
ciety. Each conversation is pre-
ceded by an editorial sketch of the
person who discusses the subject
in hand at this Round Table of

titled "On the Threshold" in which
she discusses tho latest scientific

of the soul. Henry contributes

tied Love at Flood Tide" Prof.

promises to be Il remarkable &C.

is q noteworthy symposium on

Governments 0yyncrsissp Of The
Telegraph.
Times Democrat.

In his inaugural address, last
Thursday, Gov. Poyntcr of Ne
braska declared earnestly in favor
of the government ownership, con-
troll and operation of the telegraph,
''The general government" he
said, "must own the telegraphs, as
it now does the postal system, in
the interest OF all Of the citizens
Of our great common country"
Gov. pingrce of Michigan took
much the same view Of govern
ment ownership md control; and
several other Of the new Govern
ors SO spoke against the monopo-
lies as to have little doubt that
they thought the telegraph ought
to be In the hands Of the general
government.
We are glad to see this matter
spostal telegraph system-discuss-
cd by the Governors, and brought
to the attention Of the several Leg
islatures. 1t has been evident, for
come time past, that in this way
only will we get government
ownership. In the fight made be-
fore Congress for nearly twenty
years, while report after report
has declared in favor of govern
mint ownership, it has been found
impossible TO get through Con-
gress any bill to establish o postal
telegraph. There was some hid
den obstacle, some mysterious in
Anence on the floor Of Congress
which ligeonholed reports and
sidetraeked bills, and prevented
the people of the United States
from getting cheap telegraph rates
such as they get throughout Eu-
fDpe.
The mes-Democrat suggested,
some time ago, that tho way to
carry on the fghtagainSt telegraph
extortion was through tho States;
to have several Legislatures take
action to regulate the telegraph
companies and fix rates, as they
have done with the railroads, and
instruct their Senators and Rep
resentatives how to vote in the
matter Of II postal telegraph bill.
We arc glad, therefore, to see that
The question is being taken up in
the States, aud presented by the
Governors to their several Legis-
iatures. AS Tie Times Democrat
has shown, the arguments arc SO
overwhelmingly in favor Of gov
eminent control of the telegraph
as a part Of the postal system, and
this government ownership has
operated so admirably in cheaper
ing rates and improving the eff
cheney of the service that no Sc
rioas attempt has ever been made
to meet them.
II will be difficult for the tele-
graphic lobby to defeat the move
ment if carried on in the States,
and If any Legislature take action,
it will probably induce Congress
also to act, and give the people of
this country what they want and
what the people Of Europe already
possess--n telegraph system ope-
rated on tho same principles and
andOr the samo system as the Post
