Iluraorous HepflrtmeHt. The Main Spring Broke.?The folding bed is apparently unknown in Virginia. The other day a tall and rather verdant F. F. V. arrived in town, on a government office bent, and took quarters in a Washington boarding house. As it was the dull season the Virginian was quartered in a large front room where the bed folded silently up, like Longfellow's Arab tent. It so happened that the Virginia boarder met some friends from Alexandria during the evening of the first day in Washing???> mKon Ko roor>horl hnmA thp hnnr bUU) auu nuuu uv AVMVMW* MWM?V ?..v was late. Reaching his room he fell on the bed, boots and all, and the springs being worn the structure began to close up. The elevation of his feet, however, did not trouble the new boarder in the least; he was already slumbering peacefully, and the bed, of course did not close tightly. In the morning the absence of her new boarder from breakfast troubled the landlady to such an extent that she went with the maid to investigate. The Virginian's door was open, the room undisturbed and the bed apparently closed. The maid, however, discovered a hat on the floor, and then in sepulchral tones called attention to thq feet protruding from the top of the bed. The terrified women pulled the bed slowly down, and the new boarder, awakened by the motion,crawled out in a rum' pled state. "I beg your pardon," he said, in some confusion, but his Virginia politeness quickly getting control, "I was feeling a little peart last night and sat down rather hard on the bed. and I?I reckon I busted the main-spring"?[Washington Correspondence New York Press.

Negotiations Ceased.?The wellknown Arlington Hotel in Washington is in reality made up of a number of once Erivate houses, which were made over for otel purposes. The owner, who is large in his ideas, believes thafby waiting long enough anything can be bought. There is a private house which still juts into his hotel, not yet having been incorporated into it. The other day the hotel proprietor came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea for him to get that nouse &DQ HUU ll IU ma waiavauouij. ww he wrote a letter as follows: "I desire to add your house to my hotel. State the price and I will forward check." The owner of the house happened to be a woman, and one wiser than the average of her sex in business affairs. She replied with this: "I do hot wish to sell, but contemplate enlarging my back yard. Please name the price of your hotel aud I will remit." Negotiations have ceased. 1?-Mayor Hewitt, of New York, is rapidly acquiring a national reputation for his bluntneas, to put it mildly. A politician who wanted to get a friend into a soft place in the city government entered the mayor's office and began : "Does your Honor think there is an opening ?" "Certainly! certainly!" interrupted the Mayor. "Janitor, show the gentleman the door." When he got outside the applicant was congratulated by his friends on his not having been shoved out through one of the windows, which are twenty feet from the ground. The innocence of childhood was never more strikingly illustrated than at an evening party recently held in the neighborhood of Albany. Several clergymen were present, and one of them who is especially noted for his austerity and piety, was offered a glass of water. An infant daughter of the host, who overheard the tender of the drink and remembered her father's entertainment of others, astounded the whole company and "laid up" a whipping for herself by remarking in a loud voice of surprise: "Why, papa, don't you give the minister some beer?" "Did I tell you that Maad was learning the violin ?" said a young lady on whom Tom Sellers was calling. "No, you did not." "Yes, she is practicing now. Do you not hear those strains of music floating down from up-stairs?" "Those strains of music?" "Yes."

"Which reminds me that we are not so very unlike, after all." "How do you make that out?"

And the bright boy in the class remarked that it was probably the first case on record where a will was not broken. "Yes," said the deacon, but it should be remembered that there was enough to go round. I don't remember hearing of any- I body who didn't receive their share of the inheritance." A very high-toned society gentleman went to asocial gathering, accompanied by j his valet. On arriving at the scene of the j festivities, the high-toned gentleman remarked to his servant: "It seems to me, Thomas, that I am the only gentleman here who is wearing a ; dress coat." "Oh! no," replied the meneal, "I am i wearing one myself." Strange Names.?Mrs. B.?So you have got twins at your house? Tommy?Yes, ma'am, two of 'em. "What are you going to call them?"

When Congress met in December last the surplus in the national treasury aggregated $100,000,000, and it has since been rolling into Uncle Sam's coffers at the rate of $6,000 an hour, $144,000 a day, or between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 per month. This money is wrung by taxation upon the food, clothing,househould goods, farm implements, lumber, salt and other necessaries of life from the producing classes of the country. It constitutes a greater tax upon the poor man than upon the rich, for his family is larger, and the heaviest burdens are placed upon the articles for which I there is the greatest demand?those ordinarily made use of by the laboring classes. The government of the United States does not need the money. There exists to-day no channel through which it can be returned to the people, and the wit of man cannot devise a method by which it can be given back to those from whom it was taken. It is idle, useless, worse than wasted! It is a standing menace to the honesty of Congress, and an invitation to corruption in the government. Had this $100,000,000 been left into the hands of the people it would have been invested 1DIO UUM1IJC5S CIllCl^llsco ouu contributed to the prosperity of the country. In 1880 the entire amount of capital invested in manufacturing in the State of New Jersey was 8106,220,593. That amount of capital gave employment to 126,038 persons, ovor two-thirds of whom were males above 10 years of age. Had the surplus as it existed in December been left into the hands of the people to seek legitimate business channels, the means of employment would have been furnished to at least 125,000 people who are to-day without work. As it exists today overl50,000 people in the United States are denied the opportunity to earn a living because the tariff taxes have robbed the country of its capital to forward business enterprise! The monopolists who control the Republican party and nominated Harrison and Morton are opposed to disturbing the surplus, or to reducing the^te of taxes by which it is accumulating at the rare of $6,000 for every hour of the day. Why? Because it affords them opportunity to plunder the people of $500,000,000 year? ? j i mi, nin ly tnrougn comuinauuus uuu uuois that control the home market, and because by limiting the opportunity of labor to find employment in a greater number of industries they are enabled to force down the rates of labor in their own establishents. What care they for the world's markets so long* as they are permitted to do their own sweet will with the American people through a tariff that allows them to add 47 cents of unhallowed gain to every dollar of product they turn out ? Mr. Blaine has well said the fight this year is not one of capital against capital. "Capital can take care of itself, he exclaims, and no one will question the fact who has watched the increase of milionaires throughout the country under the reign of the war tariff. That tariff was conceived by monopoly, has been maintained by monopoly, and to-day every monopolist in the country is ranged on the side of Harrison and the Seven Million Dollar Pocketbook!??Ellenville, N. Y., Press. The President as an Issue.?But while this great question of policy is the direct and most important issue of the canvass, there is another consideration which will determine the votes of many patriotic citizens, and which ought to determine the vote of many more. The present President of the United States is a public officer such as the nation is blessed with only upon rare occasions. He has not only discharged every official duty with wise judgment, great diligence, and a conscientiousness rarely seen in the conduct of men in office; he has required and secured at the hands of his subordinates ? Hpotpp nf faithfulness and diligence which had long been unknown in official life; he has made civil service reform a j fact, though in the effort to do so he was opposed by the strongest influences in both political parties; he has effectually quieted all apprehensions as to race politics in the future; he has settled the negro questions in the only right way, the way which removes all distinctions between white and colored citizens and leaves both free to direct their political activities towards patriotic ends, without disturbance from race apprehensions or race prejudices ; and finally, he has compelled both parties to turn their attention seriously to the affairs of the country and to consider with earnestness the problems of the present and future. He is one of the great Presidents, whose influence upon his time has been altogether for good and whose fame will be enduring. He is, as Mr. Lowell has said, the finest example of American manhood since Lincoln, and, as a gentleman who is entitled to speak for the cultivated class of men once Republican and always patriots has recently said to us in a private letter, "Mr. Lowell was right with regard to Lincoln, and he is right with regard to Cleveland."? [New York Commercial Advertiser. Manufacturers who Favor Tariff Reform.?Here is a little matter for the consideration of all. If you will look over the list of officers of the Cleveland and Thurman campaign club of Nyack, you will find: That the president of the club is at the head of a house which is the largest manufacturer of steel car springs in the country, and is largely and actively interested in other manufactures which employ an immense number of hands. Of the shoe manufacturers in Nyack all but one have their names on the club list of officers. You will find there the names of all the men now actively engaged in shipbuilding in Nyack, as well as those who have retired after giving Nyack her world-wide reputation as a ship-building port. You will find that the two hat manufacturers in Nyack have enrolled their names in the list. You will find that the name of our boiler-maker and machine builder is there. You will find that the proprietor of every manufacturing establishment in Nyackon-Hudson, who gives employment to men with two exceptions, has his name enrolled in the list of those who will do their good part toward the election of Cleveland and Thurman and for reform. Is it not a refreshing picture to look at in the face and eyes of the report so freely scattered ahnut that the Democratic party is trying to destroy the industries of our country ? Xyack-on-Hudson is something of a manufacturing town. A large force of men are employed here steadily. Every manufacturer who employs these men, with the exception of two, has his name on the list. Is the evidence not very clear that this great and glorious country is safe??[Nyack (X. Y.) City and Country. AST The question which the election of this year submits to the country, is not a question of protection and free-trade, but of the degree of protection. One platform declares distinctly that, rather than diminish the- surplus by moderating the tariff, the Xational tax on whisky should be repealed. The other platform proposes to cheapen the necessaries of life, to stimulate industry, and to extend trade by freeing the raw materials of manufacture. It assumes that the prosperity of the country is not due to high taxes in the form of an immediate tariff, but to the superior skill, enterprise, thrift and energy of the people. By freeing lumber it cheapens houses for the farmers. By freeing salt it supplies cheaply a universal necessity, and disturbs a grasping monopoly. By freeing wool it cheapens clothes for everybody. Six hundred million pounds of wool is required to make our clothes in this country, and we do not raise half that quantity. More than $44,000,000 worth of goods are imported annually, at an average duty of 58 per cent. Free import of wool would permit the manufacture of these goods in this country so cheaply that the import would cease. The demand for labor would increase enormously, with consequent increase of wages and extension of trade, with cheaper clothing and carpets.?[Doylestown Democrat.

The free whisky organs have been invited several times to explain these things, but they don't respond : "Why Republicans in 1872 favored putting salt and lumber on the free list. Why they have changed their minds. Why in 1884 the Republicans favored reducing tariff taxes. Why they have changed their minds. Why the Republicans placed hides on the free list in 1872. Why the tanning industry was not ruin ed thereby. Why no pauper-made leather or shoes of Europe ever came over. Why the leather industry prospered more than ever before. Why more workmen were employed. Why they got better wages. Why, in short, the Republican tariff theory didn't work. Why the price of wool has steadily declined under a protective tariff. Why the reduction of the duty on wool in 1883 was followed by an advance in price instead of a decline. Why the lowest point in the price of wool was reached under the highest tariff. Why wages have declined under a protective tariff. Why strikes and bitter conflicts between employes and employers have been common under a protective tariff. Why the workingmen of this country have lost more by tenfold in strikes and lockouts caused by attempts to reduce their wages under a protective tariff thau they could have got out of the tariff tax if they had received every cent of it. Why the cost of living has increased under a protective tariff. Why anarchy and socialism have developed under a protective tariff. These are only a few of the many points that the people would like to have the advocates of high tariff blessedness explain. It may not be as easy as to howl about rebels and rave over the bloody shirt and cry out that Great Britain is upon us, but it would be vastly more sensible.?[Cleveland Plain Dealer.

That depends. TJie American people do "conform to British interests" when they sell to England $350,000,000 of their farm j products without which Englishmen and Irishmen might go hungry, and the Amer- ' can farmer be ruined for want of a market. The American people do "conform to British interests" when, under the operation of the Bepublican policy, nearly the entire carrying trade of this great commercial country is done in British vessels.
