SavMotta's Views???The Mail and F.xprese baa an Interview with Qoveroor Hora tio Seymour on the political eituation. He expressed the opinion that longer continu ance of the protective tariff may provoke re taliatory measures on the part of Ragland and other European nations. As to the presidential candidates he ex pressed tbe opinion that the nomination of Tilden would be wise for the democraey. Tito following questions and anawers are given: And you do not believe Mr. Tilden too feeble to perform the duties of president???? Well, they say he can???t talk now. That Is a positive advantage. No man was ever yet hurt by what he didn't stty, and I say that without the least bestiari- n. What we want in the presidential chair are men who t ink more and talk leas. A min should have It ???S tongue cut off when he eaten the white btgtse ns president " ???Turn tlf difficulty of speech is to com mend Mr. Ttldsri as a presidential candidate? ???Not eo solely. Tney say Mr. Tilden is so much in ill health ttiat he is practically use less as a presidential candidate. I tell yon ill healtu is another advantage. If Mr Til den in ill health should In- president, bis in Urraity would prove a protection against the throngs ol men who want something." The New York Herald prenonnees it ???In accordance witu the original iiuea laid down by Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Morrison," aad adds: ???As 171 out of the 191 democratic members of the house wore present, there is a reason able prospect that sums measure like that ef Mr. Morrison's will be passed.??? Tite New York Times, making the wish father the thought, considers that by .flsot- Inga compromise with the high tariff men the reformers "have thrown awey the only iseue oo which they count go to the coun Trite World holds that "the action of the democratic congressional caucus has gratified the friends of the party and disapoointed Its enemies. Sneaker Carlisle recognises thefaot that while the democratic party is pledged to revenue reform, to strict economy and hon esty in public expenditures end to the relief of the people at the earliest practicable mo ment from tho burden of unnecessary taxa tion, neither the details of tariff reconstruc tion nor the quositon of the expediency of making a futile attempt to ohaage the tariff at the present time can be fairly oonsidered patty twt." The World this morning publishes an in terview on Tildeu'a physical condition held with a "prominent gentleman" known lo possess the tnoel reliable knowledge on the subject, as be Is and has been fer many yesrs Tlltlen's most intimate friend aud constant smooiate in Ids public as well as private af fairs.

In taking hia departure correspondent congratulated Mr. Tilden upon hia apparent good health. Uls face brightened up as he said: ???I do enjoy good health. I have no com plaint to make on that aeore." He then raised and let fall each arm, struck out from both shot)Idem, and followed this with a vigorous stamping of drat one foot and thfn Ihe other, on the carpet, and said quite jocularly: ???No paralysis (here." The correspondent concludes: ???Obeying the wish of Governor Tildeu, 4 draw a veil of silence orer tuuoh that he asid. lie aaid enough to convince me that he ia entirely sincere in hia announced disinolU natiou to staud for the preauleucy."

Every father wants to give his children the beet advantage* possible to his circumstances. Nothing improves young people so much at judicious reading. Nothing is pleasanter for middle life er old age than the reading of interacting books. There it no amusement puree and more ennobling than to have the father or mother or one of the sons or daughters read ??? chapter each night or two or three nighte iu the week, in the family. It is the earnest desire of the Constitution to give its readers all the reading they want at lower prices than it can be had elsewhere and this we intend to do. We have bought 10,000 copies of these books at on* order. We get them cheaper by taking this number at once and paying cosh than any book store can get them. The regular price, as yon will see on th# covers is Sl-00 in New York???to which postage is added. We sell them to you at cost price, adding simply the postage and cost of handling. Yon cannot buy them anywhere for less than $1.15 delivered, and usually $1.40. They are printed ou clear, big, new type and can bt read by old or young; and bound stoutly in black and gold cloth so that they will last. Now you can afford to gratify yourself and your family by buying at least one of then books. Seventy cents is but little for such a book. If you art in a club, persuade othei members of the club to buy other books. You can then lend to each other and thus have * good library for each neighborhood.
