The most plUable object In thin coun try at the present time is a democratic congressman with a protected industry In his district. It must be admitted that Mr. Wilson shows remarkable nerve for a man who knows he Is acting as a grave-dlggei for his own political fortunes. . The next time that the democrats give a pledge to reform the tariff, they will make lfa contingent upon their ability to postpone the panlo until after the pas sage of the bill. . "Tom" Reed may never be president of the United States, but he will prob ably be speaker of the house in the fifty-fourth congress if he Is living wher. that body comes together. Col. Watlerson testifies Unit C'levcluno "plays a fair game of poker, and take, his whiskey straight," whatever may bt aald of his deviation from democrat! theories and practices in other respects. The falling off In railroad earnings at compared with a year ago In not at great as It was recently. There is an improvement ' in this field of actlvlt) which, though small, Is highly encour aging. Tllden declared the Income tax to be unconstitutional, and resisted the pay ment of his share of it to the last ex tremity, for which the democrats loudly applauded him. But Tilden Is In hie grave now, and the democratic party It Vakin" his view of the matter. The cry that the government must furnish employment for the people put the matter, wrong end foremost. The true doctrine la that the people must look after the governments This they will attend to at the next presidential flection. L 1 I t It Is said that at the famous Victoria hotel dinner during the campaign of 1S9S, Cleveland promised that, If elected. he would do nothing to Injure the demo cratic organisations of New York, which he Is now bitterly antagonizing. An other Illustration of the old adage about vows made In storms to be forgotten with a change of weather. ' The time for competing the ralnlnr of the subMdy is almost at hand, and much yet remains to be arrompltanat. The reasonable xiMJctatlon of ralMng 300 lota la the, different portion of Uieelty wtthia the firtmr limits will not. ap parently, be realised. Despjte the ex cellent example shown by Mr. Shlvely, twe or three property owners from lum a display of public silrU whs cx- r' are holding off. and one who has tn in jm-k, and who may possibly again ask Die support of his fellow-cltlzcns in seeking a more important office than any he has heretofore held, is among the number. It would be a good Investment At this time to respond promptly to the call of the committee. But little opportunity remains. If the subsidy does not prove vastly more valuable than did the form er one, the attempt to secure a railroad might as well bo abandoned for good. There is a quaint saying among the writings of Josh Billings which runs thus: "When a man makes up his mind to be a rascal, he had better look him self over again and see if he ain't bet ter kalkerlated for a phule." This shrewd suggestion should have been re membered by William Jones, the tax collector of Union county, Georgia, who disguised himself and attempted to rob his own house of the money he had col lected, and was shot by a man who was in the house. A curious case has come before the customs authorities in the port of New York, for investigation and action. It is charged that goods manufactured in Qermany have been brought there on the Ward lino of steamships and sent to Cuba, which were borne on the ship's manifest as American-made goods, In order to take advantage of the reci procity treaty between the United States and the Spanish possessions. While the managers and employees of the steam ship line deny all knowledge of the mat ter, the statement Is made that the goods, which are sewing machines bear ing the label "Singer," are actually ma chines of that pattern, made at the com pany's works In Germany. No doubt many American worklngmen will be at a loss to understand how goods made In Germany can be American products, and, If so, where the American working man come in. An explanation from the customs authorities will prove interest ing at least If only in the line of addi tional general knowledge. Additional prooof of Democratic hard times is shown by the official statement jf the government receipts and expendi tures which has Just been Issued. , Thli statement shows that the falling off ir custom duties alone during the past seven months has been $40,000,000. Tarlf tinkering is to be credited for a good share of this falling off. Merchants an not disposed to Import goods while then Is any probability of the duties on them being changed, and consumers stave ofl buying Imported articles for the same reason. .As a natural consequence, the revenues of the government have fuller off tremendously, until the payment!. Jurlng the past seven months have ex jeeded the total income by $46,000,001, The shrinkage of . Internal revenue re .elpts has amounted to $12,000,000, whlcl ,s due to the general paralysis of busl -less which has followed tariff agltatloi n congress. There was a decrease o ;10,000,000 In payments for pensions dui Ing the period covered by the stntemeni r the deficit now staring tho secretar. jf the treasury In the face would b try much larger than It is. Tho tart. M will cause a further decrease In cut tonia receipts, which the supporters o that measure fondly hope lo make gooi by an income tax. The condition of th treasury is most discouraging. If tht democrats can contemplate a deflclenc. of $46,000,000 unmoved, the more'a thv Pity. The bill to unite New York am Brooklyn, which passed the New YorK assembly yesterday, has been for some years under serious consideration, and as It has been discussed, the plan ha' been enlarged until at last there wai formulated a measure to gather into one enormous community all the New York cities and towns about the harboi which la the central attraction and or igin of the surrounding magnificence. There Is the golden gate of tho contl net, and all the land Is New York ex cept New Jersey, which was not Includ ed in the scheme, for the slate line, though Invisible, is Invulnerable. All the smaller Islands, including Manhat tan and Staten, with Kings county, and Westchester county, are included in the greater New York. The territory Is, In the language of the revised bill; "The city of New York, Iong Island City, the county of Kings, the county of Iiichmond;. the towns of Westchester, Flushing, Newtoa rind Jamaica; those portions of the towns of Ii)it Chester and Pvlhant which He southerly ut a straight line drawn .from the point where the . northerly line of the city of New York meets the centre Hue of the Bronx river, to the middle of the chan nel between Hunter' and Glen islands.

Th discovery of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest interest. Hitherto the common shortening has been lard, or indifferent butter. Every one has probably suffered occasional dis comfort from lard-cooked food ; while it is well known that thous ands are obliged to abstain entire ly from everything of that kind To such people, Cottolene is of peculiar i- t, widening as jf does. th. inge of what may be eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene is a cooking marvel. It combines with the food impart" to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an appetizing crispness. No trace of greasincss remains to offend the tate, or disturb the digestion. Cottolene i? worthy of the careful notice of all iho.e who valug good food, of itself or frf its hygienic projierties.
