The German carp should not be fried in the fat of the American hog. It is against Bismarck’s idea of reciprocity. It is an old saying that “Chickens come home: to roost.” But they do not if the colored camp meeting Bees them first. The Italian opera troupe in New York is to be reorganized, says an exchange. A new lot of hand ‘organs must have come over. A Fukncii dispatch says M. Rouvier has been appointed minister at Annam. He will probably be paid a good salary per Annam. Another dew. Advertisements in the New York papers announce that “Jim the Penman” has been holding the boards at the Madison .Square theatre during the past week. Brooklyn, under the spiritual reign ■rfRt. Beecher, was afflicted with what called nest-hiding. A complaint has broken out in Atlanta which is described as jug-hiding. There is no bar to stop it. Rhode Island proposes to elevate the standard of her ambition. She may ele vate it, but unless she gets more field room she will have to borrow a parade ground from some of her neighbors. The Belgians are beginning to reap the harvest of their Congo investments. The natives have developed a great fondness for Netherlands gin, and the export trade in that commodity shows a gratifying in- erease. One cent letter postage would he a very nice little Christmas gift from Uncle Sam to the people. The old gentleman's pock ets are plethoric now and likely to con tinue so. The iron is hot and now is the time to strike. The New York Herald says: “Mr. Roger T. Goldsworthy, governor of British Honduras, is at the Hotel Bruns wick." This shiiws that a man is a plain “Mr.” when he is nothing but a simple governor of a Honduras. It isn’t always the case that thrones go begging, hut that of Bulgaria is evidently sadly in want of a well-seated occupant. The fact is, persons eligible to thrones are not specially anxious to go into the king business in the east with Russia super vising. Receipts of the Suez Canal company were less by more than $1,000,000 this year than last. Tnis need not discou r - ngu Du Lesseps in his new venture, how ever. The canal business may easily im prove before the Panama enterprise is •ompleted. The Chicago railroad sharks who are trying to head oft' St. Louis from free trade with tiie newly opened territory in south east Kansas, would do well to curb their rapacity a little. Competition is the life of trade, but highway robbery in freight rates is not lawful competition. Speaking of wills, to whom will Major Ben: I’erlcy Poore bequeath his colon? He can’t take it with him when death puts a period to his existence.—[Chicago Tribune.] When Ben: is spelled out the colon will not be needed.—[New Orleans Picayune.] If Ben: P. P. doesn’t slop telling lies on the southern people there will be plenty of eonl on in t lie country to which lie will go after death. A Boston dispatch* says: "Monday night Mrs. Langtry was ill and could not appear ut the Boston theatre as ad vertised. Last night she appeared in the *Ludy of Lyons,’ and us a result of that short her voice has entirely given out, and her physicians have forbidden her to go on the stage again until Saturday.” If tiie doctor would foubid her forever from appearing on the stage the loss to the theatrical world would not be so great as to break it up. The official vote of Connecticut lias been declared. Lounsbury, rep., re ceived 50,021 votes, and Cleveland, dem., 58,818. Cleveland, however, lacks 2852 of a majority of all the votes cast, and, as the legislature is republican, Lounsbury will be the next governor. The present governor of Connecticut also was elected by the legislature and not by the people. This is an anomaly in a government of tiie people and by the people. The elec tion laws of Connecticut should be re vised. TAX BODflEIIN. There is a strong feeling exp-essed in j New York city against tiie tax commis- | sioners for what is regarded as their till- I warrantable leniency towards the mighty | men of wealth. These men are great j property-holders and ought to be great j taxpayers; but they are not. During the ; lifetime of the late ffm, H. Vanderbilt i he consented, as a means of placating the j popular clamor against him, to pay taxei It seems to he easier for a paper to support u candidate than for the candi date to support tiie paper. A common subject for tableaux at fairs is "Tennyson’s Dream of Fair Women.” These are the ladies who manage the fair. Herr Most received only $5 a week for editing the Freiheit. Considering the value of the publication, lie was ex on $1,000,000—that is, on one of the three j travagaiitly paid, hundred millions lie was wortli—and ’ “ “ even this, the tax commissioners say, j Inn anarchists oi ( Incago tnly fear “was sworn off by him on one or two i t * ie of that cit\ will step on *hem. occasions.” This was several years ago, '*■ ^ l0 Umkerton men they dread and the Vanderbilt estate has not, ccr- i u ^ ial1 itcomcs fo -liooiiiig. tainly, depreciated; yet the tax commis sioners tax il this year at §8,000,000— when everydody in New York believes it i ( .,, V(1| . w j(|j wortli thirty or forty times that sum. Thecoinmi‘sioners declare, in answer to the popular clamor, that there is no help for it; the Vanderbilts and other rich men threaten to move away from Now York—that is, change their "place of residence” if they are treated like other people and made to pay taxes on their millions. Cornelius Vanderbilt already resides at Newport; William K. lives at Islip; Frederick calls one of the Routh Carolina sea islands his home; Auguste Belinont claims a residence at Babylon; I’ierre Lorillard at Islip, and Cyrus Field and Jay Gould at Irving ton. These great fortune-holders own comparatively little real property; their wealth is what is culled personalty- money, bonds and stocks—which follows the owner and attaches to his person. One of them can escape taxation in New York by making oath to a residence In New Jersey—even though all his mill ions, and himself in the bargain, remain in New York. “New York is a commercial city ; we must not drive the rich people away,’ says o e of the tax commissioners. There may be something in this; but it is very singular, to say the least of it, that these great property holders should take such pains to avoid paying taxes on the prop erty which they call on the government to protect in time of peril.

The Ir.MiuuU Oliili Hniniuet. Chicago, November 17. -The fourth an nual banquet of the Iroquois Club occurred to-night at the Palmer house. Among a large number of distinguished democrats to whom invitation had been sent, the fol lowing are among the most widely known who accepted ^na were present: Speaker Carlisle, Senator Beck, Hon. Edward L. Bragg and Hon. J. Sterling Morton. Let ters of regret were received from President Cleveland, Abram S. Hewitt, Roswell P. Flower, 8. S. Cox, Wm. C. Endicott, Perry Belmont,Governors D.B.Iiill andFitzhugn Lee, A. G. Thurman, and B’itz John Por ter. After the banquet, at which between 250 and 300 guests and members of the club sat down, the following toasts were made and responded to: “American In dustries, their growth and prosperity can not be promoted by unnecessary or unequal taxation,” Hon. J. G. Carlisle; “Treasury Surplus, and Tariff,” Senator Beck; “Public Lands, the people’s heritage for homes.” Hon. W. J. Sparks; “Our Great Republic,” Hon. M. W. Fuller; “The President of the United States,” Hon. Ed. W. S. Bragg; “Monopoly Shall Not Rule,” Hon. J. Sterling Morton; “The Sanctity of the American Home the Safeguard of American Liberty,” Hon. Jack Doolittle; “The Democratic Party,” L. J. Kinne; “Young Men in Politics,” Hon. F. H. Lehman. A NECESSARY DISTINCTION. Our democratic coadjutor, the Rocky Mountain News, of Denver, takes a view of a recent event in some respects pecu liar: Nobody doubts the president’s honesty in his efforts to enforce the spirit as well as the letter of the civil service act as he understands it, hut there are a great many good people in the coun try who believe that President Cleveland's con struction of that act in strained and unnatural and even unconstitutional. We hold that if there is nothing against tliotwodistrict-attorneys who were suspended except the fact that they took the stump in the late campaign, they should bo restored to office immediately. Freo thought and free speech are essential elements of free government, and they should not be abridged in any way. A man does not forfeit or pawn his rights by accepting office, and if he has anything to h\y for the goncral welfhre lie should be per mitted to say it without let or hindrance. Wo can eee no reason in justiceor good policy for the restoration of the Pennsyl vania republican. lie was a part of the administration, and, in making speeches i against it, he challenged removal. “A i house divided against itself cannot ! stand,” and if the members of the admin istration fight against the head nothing can be attained except discord and fail ure. In the case of Colonel Benton it is dif ferent. He is a democrat. He made democratic speeches in support of the democracy uml of the democratic admin istration. lie ought to be reinstated, ! SPRINGER because he was suspended on distorted evidence. If lie had neglected the routine of his oilice, or failed to earn his salary; if lie had allowed the '■ Friday, - public service to sutler, his suspension j would have been just—not, however, for making democratic speeches, tint for in efficiency. If an official is inefficient he should be removed, whether lie is g dem ocrat or a republican, whether he makes democratic speeches or republican speeches. But if lie makes republican speeches while holding office under a democratic administration, he should lie removed at any rate. Not to make this distinction is to lose sight of the distinction between democ racy and republicanism—between right and wrong. Now that the French visitors have gone home we might ns well admit that the light on the Bartholdi statue is a dizzy fizzle. The object was to throw a brilliant stream of light over the entire statue. At present tiie crown only is illuminated, while the upper lip, chin and checks are enveloped in an inky shadow which forms u full heard. Somo- Anerilote, of Davis and Wade. David Davis, when president pro tern, of the senate, used to like to go to his dinner at 4 p. m., and used to get quite excited on the subject when the senate sat later. One dark afternoon in December he would not order the gas lighted until Senator Ed munds pointedly suggested that it be done, and when at last Senator Voorhees moved that the senate go into executive session, the judge plaintively asked: “Did the sen ator from Indiana move to adjourn?” Senator Ben Wade, when he was president pro tern, of the senate, was equally anx ious for an early adjournment. One day when Senator Garrett Davis had the floor and lifted the flood-gates of his ceaseless oratory, Wade stood it until it was 4 o’clock, when he said: “Will the senator from Kentucky suspend his remarks for the in troduction of a motion?” “Certainly,” said Mr. Davis, who had the courtesy of the old school. “The senator from Ohio,” said Mr. Wade, “moves that the senate do now adjourn. Senators, those in favor say ‘aye;’ those opposed, ‘no!’ The motion is carried, and the senate stands adjourned till to-morrow at 12 o’clock.” As Mr. Wade was the only senator from Ohio irt the chamber, or even in the senate at that) time, his coolness in putting his own motion and declaring It carried was much admired. It was the fear that Wade would oppoint Charles Sumner secretary of state and rule the south with an iron rod that made several republican senators .vote to acquit Johnson on the charges for which be was impeached, and thus to exclude Wade from the white house.—Boston Herald.

A correspondent of the Nautical Ga zette wiites from Aspinwnll that there have been numerous vicious attacks by natives on American train operatives, the feeling being so strong that several trains on the isthmus railroad were abandoned. Uncle Sam is supposed to guarantee safety of transit across the isthmus, and this is probably a move to get a war ship and squad of marines sta tioned at Colon again. According to all accounts, the state of Panama is about as undesirable a place of residence us could be found on the globe. Perennial yellow- fever is among the least of its drawbacks.

Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, manufactured by Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N. Y., is absolutely pure and wholesome. It is made only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a small portion of wheat flour, and does not contain Ammonia, Alum, Lime, or any adulteration whatever. The Cream of Tartar is refined by a new process which frees il entirely from lime and every impurity, and is obtained in the pure crystals and ground in their own factory; the Bicarbonate of Soda is prepared expressly for them; and to ensure uniform and absolute purity of their baking powder all the ingredients are subjected to searching chemical analyses and none used unless proved to be perfectly pure. In confirmation of the above the able and reliable chemists of the New York Produce Exchange, report as follows: “We are analyzing all the.Cream of Tartar used in the manu facture of Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, and we hereby certify that it is practically chemically pure—testing as high as 99.95 per cent, and not less than 99.50 per cent. “ From a hygienic point of view we regard Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder as the ideal baking powder, composed as it is of pure Grape Cream of Tartar and pure Bicarbonate of Soda. “ STILLWELL & GLADDING, “Chem'sts to the N. Y. Produce Exchange.” New York, Nov. 25, 1884.
