Canada's financial affairs are in a con

to provoke a thorough revolution against
the present leaders in her politics. Since
1868 her expenditures have increased four

deep-seated dissatisfaction among the
people. Efforts to draw emigration have
mostly failed, except in Manitoba.
The Chicago Tribune (Rep.) still thinks
. that “the new tariff law effects a slight
reduction of taxation is true, but this is
all that can be claimed for it, and thisje
duetion has been effected so awkwardly
and in such deliant violation of all the
principles on which the revision should
have been made, that the work is one
which, on the whole, will reflect no credit
on the party that is responsible for it.”
According to the Louisville Courier-

Michael J. L>ady. the notorious Brooklyn
politician whom President Arthur improp

Buildings for the Middle States, has de
cided to resign his place as a member of
the Republican General Committee of
Brooklyn. It is a great pity that sueh a
fellow as Dady ever received a Federal

all Federal officers are not forbidden by
law to meddle with local politics.
The annual report of the American Bell
Telephone Company, which had its annual
meeting in Boston last week, shows that
the company's 3/137 miles of wire in use

In answ<*r to several inquiries concern

would entitle them to numerous privi

say that the concern is put down as a

The Mexican Congress meets to-day,
and the session promises to have a very
serious interest for American railroad en
terprises. The dominent men in Mexican
politics still favor these grunts; but pub
lic feeling is less uuanimous than it was.
The railroads, as usual, have brought no
.sudden sweep of wealth, the postpone

that the tide has turned is likely to be

grants.
Savannah's Opportunities.
The rise of Norfolk in the rank of com
mercial cities is attracting much atten
tion. There can l>e no doubt that, if the
methods that have been employed in re
cent years to increase her importance
continue to he applied she will ere
long become one
leading commercial centres on
the Eastern seaboard. Her railway con
nections are being greatly extended, and
the quantities of freight brought to the
wharves and warehouses from the regions
traversed by these far-reaching rail
ways is steadily increasing. So,
too. our neighlior Pensacola is hopeful
of a very decided increase in her com
merce in the near future. Thus with Nor
folk to the north and Pensacola to the
west, to say nothing of the dreams that
Brunswick entertains of commercial im
portance, it behooves Savannah to lie stir-
ring.
True, our city's growth has lieen thus
far steady and satisfactory. The wisdom
that gave us our splendid railway facili
ties has borne its fruit, but other cities
are moving, and. if not now actually for
midable rivals, will soon prove such, if the
opportunities of Savannah are not em
braced. There is no city on
the Southern seaboard better sit
uated or that enjoys greater op
portunities for becoming a great seaport
than Savannah. Her commerce, it is
true, is already large, but it could be
vastly increased if the pnqier steps were
taken. What is wanted is more
of the spirit that actuated the men of
twenty and thirty years ago. to whose
sagacity and enterprise is due in great
part the development that Georgia under
went in the decades just prior to the war.
That spirit still exists, but it has re
laxed in earnestness and needs stimula
tion. Savannah is the natural outlet for
a far larger area of country than she now
reaches, and it will be the part of wisdom
to second heartily every movement made
to enlarge the sphere of her ope
rations. Rivals are springing up
about us, and it would be far
wiser to increase the advantage we now
have or them than to wait until they are
close on our heels in the race for commer
cial eminence. We recently alluded to
the steps that were taken to avert the peril
that menaced Savannah in the past. M bile
no danger threatens her now, yet, if she
w ould extend her influence and increase
her importance, it would lie well for her
to emulate the enterprise that gave her
much of the prosperity she now enjoys.
A Protection King.
The protection monopolists of New
York recently organized into a ring for
the better protection of their gains, under
the name and style of the “New \ork As
sociation for the Protection of American
Industry.” They are to “disseminate
ideas favorable to just protection,” to de
velop and protect the various industries,
restore ocean navigation in American
built ships anil give security for the com
fort anil improvement of workingmen—
all by tariffs for protection. And to win
again the oft deceived workingmen who
voted them down last fall, thev promise'
to erect sundry establishments that in
old age the said workingmen reduced to
pauperism in their service may tie cared
for by public charity.
Of this model ring of enterprising,
thrifty patriots. General Grant is named
first among two or three dozen managers,
and Hon. Hamilton Fish, John Jacob
Astor, Edwin D. Morgan, A. A. Low,
General James Watson Webb and White
law Heid, first of about two hundred Vice
Presidents. The long list includes almost
all the leading monopolists, bondholders
and government manipulators whose
names we can recall in the Republican
ranks of New \ ork. and conveys the idea
that the ring has been formed to save the
remains or the defeated party by reuniting
its fragments on a money basis for one
more desperate effort to roll back the
Democratic tide threatening to swamp
them and their “protected” millions in
I*B4.
As they expect to restore ocean naviga
tion in American bottoms, of course they
must control Congress and the Navy
Department, and since their chief
aim is to advance and protect
American industries, they must
pledge their fortunes and their sacred
honors to prevent any further modifica
tions of the tarill’ laws. It certainly must
Is- some consolation to the workingmen to
hear that hospitals are to lie ready to re
ceive them when too old and decrepit to
serve the ring any longer; but is there not
danger that the workingmen may get to
thinking on the subject, anil conclude that
just compensation for the fortunes they
make for their benevolent patrons would
enable them to take care of themselves in
old age.
It is rumored that General Butler will
soon lie called upon to defend his title to
the massive block of granite houses erect
ed by him in Washington. The land for
merly belonged to Thomas Law, a brother
of Lord Ellenborough. He was connected
with the East India Company under War
ren Hastings, anil came to America to
prevent being a witness in the Hastings
trial. He landed in this country with
uiniut $300,000 in gold, and fell in love
with Mi* CuStis, the granddaughter of
Mrs. Martha Washington. To ingratiate
himself with General Washington, Law
made large purchases of land on Capitol
Hill, and gained his suit. The marriage
was not happy, and when his wife was
about to begin a suit for divorce, he con
veyed his real estate to a friend. The
consideration paid was nominal, but the
papers are to he legal, and were re
cently found by a descendant of Law’s
friend.
“Twenty-two years ago next Wednes
day,” says the Boston Post , “William
Sprague was an Independent Republican

ticket, has been triumphant. Governor
Sprague lias been elected by 1,028 ma
jority. and the rest of thecandidates upon
the ticket by alxnit the same majority.
His supporters have a majority in.both
branches of the Legislature.’ Friends of
the ex-Governor have pasted this para
graph in their hats, and expect that next
Wednesday night they will be prepared
to remark: ‘What a singular coinci

There is some excitement in Union
town, Ky., over the seizure of §SO of the
flood relief fund for debt. When Mayor
Jacobs, of Louisville, went to Uniontown
some time ago, he found six destitute
families, and directed that §SO should be
given each. A few days ago he received
a letter, stating that the money he had
left lor one family had been attached for 1 '
debt, and that the family were in the last
stages of suffering and distress. Mr.
Jacobs was very indignant about the mat
ter, and telegraphed to his agent at
Unioutowu that the money left in his
hands had merely been put there in trust,
and that he was to give it up on uo ac
count.
The newly elected vestry of the Episco
pal Church of the Evangelist, Philadel
phia, have adopted resolutions charging
the rector, Rev. Mr. Percival, with
“preaching Romish doctrines in violation
of the principles of the Protestant Episco
pal Church.” These resolutions are to be
presented to the Bishop and standing
committee of the diocese at the meeting of
the Episcopal Convention in May by a
special committee. The vestry have al
ready instituted preliminary proceedings
to a suit at law, the object of which is to
ej ct the rector’s present vestry and in

The New Cruisers.
Secretary Chandler is moving with
commendable activity in the matter of ar
ranging for the construction of the new
cruisers. The Naval Advisory Board
some time ago invited plans and bids, >ut
the leading firms engaged in building iron
and steel ships have requested that the
Navy Department furnish the plans,
since the acceptance of the
plans of any individual build
er would enable him to under
hid others bv reason of his knowledge of
minute details. It is thought that an
agreement will lie reached shortly by tbe
board, and the work ot construction be-
gun. . -ii
The work of constructing the six inen
rifled cannon that are to form the arma
ment of the 3,000 ton cruisers lias been
begun at the Washington Navy Yard.
These puns are designed to burn titty
pounds of powder and shoot a 100 pound
projectile. They will be the most power
ful guns of their calibre in the world.
Their cost is estimated at about $5,000
each. Lieutenant Very, of the Ad
visory Board, has invented great
improvements in breech-loading guns,
and his system for relieving the longi
tudinal pressure ou the breech will be
applied to the new guns. The Lieutenant
has made plans for the construction of a
twenty-five-ton gun that, in the judgment
of a number of authorities on ordnance,
will prove a remarkable success. It will
be, if built, of ten anil one-half inch bore,
with a steel coil wire wound, having a ca
pacity for 275 pounds of powder and a 550-
pouml projectile. The muzzle velocity of
this gun, it is estimated, will be 2,180 feet
per second, and at 1,000 yards it is calcu
lated that the shot will penetrate twenty
six inches of iron armor.
In reference to the plans of the depart
ment, the Army and Navy Register says;
“Secretary Chandler means to have the
new turrets of the Miantonomah com
pleted in six months, and the engines for
the monitors readv in a year from this
date, the dispatch boat completed in a
year from this date and the cruisers com
pleted in fifteen months, and the monitors
finished within two years. This is a large
undertaking, but we think it may be sue
cessfUllv accomplished. As to the turrets
of the Miantonomah, it has been decided
to change the plan from the spindle sys
tem to the roller system, sinking the
base several feet lielow the deck of
the vessel. These turrets will lie adver
tised for, and as they cannot be built in
this eountrv they "will have to be built
abroad. It is thought that this can lie
done inside of six months. The Naval
Advisory Board is carefully considering
the plans for the engines for the monitors.
The main question under discussion is
whether the weight of the engines as
originally planned cannot lie diminished
without decreasing their power and the
speed of the vessel. It ,is thought that
this tnav be done.
“Of the amount appropriated for the
launching of these vessels SIBO,OOO will be
expended for that purpose, leaving $220,-
000 which may be used in addition to the,
million which was appropriated for the
engines. The engines will lie built by the
contractors who have the vessels now in
charge, anil the amount of money at dis
posal is almost sufficient to provide for
the completion of all of them. The Secre
tary is fully determined In his own mind
to build the uew cruisers by contract, and
nqt in the navy yards. His principal
reason is a desire to have the work go for
ward rapidly. There has been considera
ble pressure to keep the work in the navy
vards, but the Secretary is very firm on
this point. The advertisement will lie is
sued during the last week in April, and
the contracts will lie made during the last
week in July. The contractors will be
required to proceed with all possible
speed, and there will be no difficulty in
completing the dispatch within the year.”

Paying the Penalty.

Mr. Blaine now lives in the largest pri
vate house in Washington, and owns it.
This is a great comfort to Mr. Blaine, who
has money and is a spreading sort of a
man who occasionally likes to see his big
house full of big people. But it does seem
that neither saints nor sinners, nor the
high and mighty, nor the poor and lowly
in this world are permitted to enjoy una
dulterated comfort. When the fortune is
made, when the ship sails into port, when
the house is built and we are rill ready to
reap the fruition of our lalwrs or our
hopes, there comes some unforeseen and
unexpected evil to spoil our broth and
jtoison our satisfaction. The trouble in
Mr. Blaine’s case takes the shape of gout,
a disease that is apt to lay hold of prosper
ous souls and generous feeders. We are
sorry for him.

There is a building in New York city

The two owners could not agree on terms,

In Justin McCarthy’s new novel, “Maid
of Athens,” the following dialogue is
given: “All great countries produce
stimulants,” said Ylachos, sententiously;
“France, wine; England, beer; I mean
great as distinguished from big countries.
The United States will one day be great
as well as big; then yours will be a wine
producing country. Wine goes witli
mind.” Then the three set to debate
the proposition. To Lord St. Ives the
grape made into wine was an article of
commerce, anil he knew all about it.
For the poetry of the grape and the wine
it makes, for the poetic dreamings that
are born of wine, Lord St. Ives oared
nothing. He never bestowed a thought

thought of associating it with vatonia or

New Life
is given by using Brown’3
Iron Bitters. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warms the systeifi; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestiv e organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
. of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per
fect condition. Brown’s
Iron Bitters ensures per
fect health through- the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure
water and miasmatic air,
and it prevents Consump
tion, Kidney and Liver Dis
ease, &c.

Gentlemen: I take pleas
ure in stating that I have used
Brown’s Iron Bitters for ma
iaria and nervous troubles,
caused by overwork, with
excellent results.
Beware of imitations.
Ask for Brown’s Iron Bit
ters, and insist on having
it. Don’t be imposed on
with something recom
mended as “just as good."

THE WONDERFT lANGTRY CORSET.
In this product of Art and Ingenuity this Corset is unsurpassed in the originality of its con
struction and the beauty and ease of Us shape and wear. Its sides arc chiefly composed of
forms or patterns, which "are inserted diagonally in graceful curves, and In the sheaths of
these diagonal pieces are inserted the springs or" bones, which yield and conform to the con
tour and figure of the wearer with the slightest cfnnpressure, and nt the same time furnish
all needed support. It is our belief that no corset has yet been produced uniting in so great
a degree the qualities of support, case and beauty. The price should be $5, but is only <1 25.
Our Corset seems to embody the fancy of the iioet:
“ Now doth her bodice aptly laced
From her fair bosom to her shapely waist, .
Fine by degrees and beautifully less,
The air ami harmony of grace express."
