Although Mr. Crosby will not enter up on hlB third term as mayor he cai. retire With the proud consciousness of duly Well performed. During his tenure of office ho has only Increased the respect felt for him by the citizens generally, and It la to be regretted that he should have even once experienced defeat. Even his successful opponent Dr. Al fred Kinney, acknowledges that Mr. Crosby has been more attentive to the duties of his office than were ony ol his predecessors, and If the city's af fairs are always conducted In as bui-ness-llke a manner, AHtorla will Indeed lie fortunate. It Is unnecessary to dis cuss tbe causes of his defeat, further than tu say that Dr. Kinney's popu larity largely contributed to it, as will as to the success of the dtlzen's ticket throubhout. An eastern exchange remarks that the manufacturers and people of New Knglaud can have no objection to tl.e free Importation of bituminous coal, II they do not n.tve to pay much for It." It says further that "free co.il world be of grout advuntage to us, tiid ,-w would free law materials of ollu r Muds, provided our manufactured pro ducts are adequately protected." llr.i of what benelit will free coal or frci wool be to us If we cannot sell inn manufactured products at a profit? And If the duties on manufactured gom'.i ore reduced below tho point which pro tccU the superior wanes paid In oui mills, foreign goods will fill our mar kets, and our manufacturers can com pete only by a Revere reduction ol wages. When wages are reduced tin purchasing power of the public Is re duced, and the seventy-five cents pe: ton fcaved on bituminous coal will mil go fur to compensate for the loss, it Is unite probable that under the new torilf foreign goods will be cheaper nnd American goodn will have to ful low suit If they are nmdo at all. Thi: will benefit people who have llxed In comes, wealthy people who never huv to worry alxmt tomorrow's supplies, but how will it benefit wiiKo-eimieri whose wages ure reduced? It ni.iket little difference how cheap a thins I' if you have no money for lis puivhu.-u' This country is naturally Interested In the MH'ioss of the ltriuillun rcpublc mid our people should be very, carofu nhout too readily accepting; storied t the discredit of our younger sister, wh Is doing her best to sustain the glo rious Idea of popular government. Those who are familiar with tho coun try describe the Itrazilinns gener.ili us more peaceable and ordeily, and moie conservative, than the run ol Houth American people. Anurlei.n rympathy will, no doubt, do much a strengthen them In their rcpubllcinlsm. Mr, Neal, who was not elected gov ernor of Ohio, aya the Wilson bill h '"almost good." He Is surprised by tin courage of the democracy In conitrets. He wanta the sugar bounty repealed outright, and he bays It la not the tar iff, buk the pension question, that gave McKInley hi boom, making this re markable statement: "Ninety-five per cent of all change In votes from the democratic 10 tne republican party should bo charged to the pension ques tion, and for this the administration at Washington was directly responsible. The action of the pension department in (.ho matter of suspension of pen sions was utterly indefensible." The fun of the pension matter is that Hoke Smith's blows nt pensioners fell on the democrats, who got' In on the law of 1MW. Senator Mills says Bonn tor Honr's speech on tho solemn secrecy with which the Pres4dent has engaged in tl.e Wabash business on the Pacific ocean, was a case or "shelling the woods," but why Is there any private end con fidentlal meddling proceedings el lia- wall? There is nothing going on there n the nano of the United Mu'.i'B that should not be the nronertv of th American people. The president's in tense sense of responsibility is so ucute that ;f. misleads him, and thy lops those who wish to be friendly to him talk the better for them. There may be somothlngln the slot that the king of Italy thinks of abdl eating, but It Is very unlikely. What he needs Is the reduction of his army by one-third to start with, and lot Wil Ham pose against France. The k;ng du:n of Italy is ruined by the army for the country Is poor. If Italy had one good coal mine she would be com paratlvely rich. Jlcr fuel is of root; md branches of trees, lignite, Englln! oal and American oil. Her absurd iirmy and navy consume her. Prendorgast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison, thinks the way to prove his nsanlty is to make a row to trie effec that he Is sane. He nlso squabbles will: his cHmlnnl lawyer to the same end Hut the wretch had sense enough to be badly soared when he heard the howl of a mob. He was sane enough to collapse with fright. The little iieast should be executed with ns few f the law's delays as possible. Powderly's sin is said to have been truly awful. He Is accused of being Hie "friend of millionaires," nnd he-was not "luave" enough In strikes. Indeed ne does not appear to have been sultl lently btril;lng. Anything In the line of gents' furn ishing goods, In the newest styles, can e had from P. A. Stokes & Co. during the present month, at prices never be fore equalled.

Nelson, of New lurk writes: "On the i!7l.h of February, IRIIS, ,wis taken wilh a violent pain in the ivgion of my kidneys. 1 suffered such iguny that I could hardly stand up. As soon ns possible I applied two All ock's Porous Plasters, one over each ililnoy and laid down. In an hour, to ny surprise nnd delight, the pain had vanished, and I was well. I wore the dusters for a day or two, as u preeau Ion, and then removed them.
