Every one knows, or should know, that the industrial population, outside of the agricultural, bought of the products of the farm, not for export but for home consumption, nearly six hundred million dollars’ worth of butter, eggs, and cheese, a sum double that of the total value of the cotton crop of the south. Every one knows, or should, that the American policy of self-development, incident to and the outcome of national protection, has made even the states west of Lake rie almost as largely manufacturing as agricultural. In this group, and ide of New England, New York, and Pennsylvania, Illinois stands first, Ohio next, Missouri third, Michigan fourth, Indiana fifth, and Wisconsin sixth, Chicago to-day is in advance of Pittsburg in its production of iron and Bessemer steel; is, in fact, the largest producing city in the world. It is not to be expected that any dazzling generalities, any Democratic sophisms, any delusive promises of financial betterment will outweigh these solid facts.

They’s one jist a-comin’ over th’ fence.” EW YORK has a law-school for women, who really have as good a right to earn a living as if they were men. And the bright lawyeress who gets a case has no fool for a client. R. PULITZER has a right to all the advertising his’ generosity gives him, and when he talks the hundred-thousand-dol'ars business he means it from the first to the last farthing. see EVERAL CONFESSIONS indicate that Tascott didn’t murder Mil- lionaire Snell after all. Evidently the poor fellow thought he did, for that is the only way to account for his absence. ‘T IS a good thing to have plenty of politics. An active campaign shows that the people are capable of governing themselves, and this though at times they put the wrong party in power, Mistakes will happen —but this year they won't. soe 'HE HON. SULLIVAN has been knocking out his later managers with a success and persistency that show a vigorous constitution; but he would be more reputable and less Democratic if he were controlled by the more solid Muldoon. THE JUDG! in terms of the obituary poems of General Felix Agnus of the Baltimore American. It strikes us that the following, by General Agnus, would not be discreditable to some obituary poets of larger and more numerous pre- tensions: Little Johnnie was our darling, Pride of all our hearts at home ; Bat an angel came and whis- pered, Dearest Johnnie, do come home.
