PORTE FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1851, Tu Pittsburg Chronicle says of the va- cant Supreme Court Judgeship: Judge {sham, of Minois, formerly partner of Abraham Lincoln, is alse pressed for the pluce. The “dude” fs hardly old enough for that; but wo may say for the Information of those whodo not know him that he fs the “Taw-partuer of Secretary Robert Lincoln, and he is a‘lawyer of the highest standing at the Bar of Mlinols, The Goston Herald does not seem to know who ko fs; but Judge Davis and Present Garfield do, and that is perhaps far more important, ‘Tux New York Canat Board, It will be observed, has adopted o resolution, at tho suggestion of the Legisinture, putting all west-hound freizht on the freo Ilst. Salt going in both directions will also be carried free, Its belleved the effect of this action will be to reduce mterially the charges for gratn-carrying eastward, as freight golng in that direction ling to bear all, or nearly all,” the expenses of tha return trip. Bubit this expectation Is not renlized the Board reserves tho power to restore at any time the old rates, ‘The order was adopted by a vote of six to one, Dutcher, the Canal Superintendent, alone voting against it.

On behalf of the Govern Ment, he replled that the terms of the inv tation wero tint quite gatlsfactory, as It seemed to comnit the Governments aceept- fig to abide by the declsion of the Confer- ence, If this’ dinieulty can be removed, Great Britaln will gladly send representa tives, and will do everything that is possible to restore silver to International clrenlation. ‘The subject is of tho greatest Importance to the Indian possessions of the Emplre, where silver clrewlates to the exeluslon of gold, There can hardly be any question but that the Jnvitation will be modified as desired, In that case, all the great commercial nations will be represented at the Conference, and it will have a value in bringing them to some terms of common agreement that it might otherwise not possess, No event In the Monetary world can conpure in tmportance or significance with the Parls Conference, Miss Fnances £. WiLLann's speech President Gartleld on presenting Mrs. Hayes portrait was not printed. ‘The Washington Se peale has only thls meagre summary of It: Misa Willard addressed him ina fei DeuMTUL nppeals to WHICH AO waliant Ut sould listen unmoved.

On the contrary, she wentgo the White House ex- pressly to celebrate thelr virtues, The Washlogton paper furthor says that the President diq notrecelve the speech in an encouraglug manner: : ‘The President's fuco was a study. It was gravely courtgous,—the fuce o! man whose inind f# made up, put who dcprecates the pang his decision me bring to sensitive human i hearts. His eyes were bent upon tho floor in n listening attitude. Tho last paragraph of tho President's re- ply has been printed, but the following, which was almost caually significant, was omitted from the Associated Press report: Lapprove moat heartily what you have sald in reference tothe freedonr of individual Judgement and action aymibolized in this portrait. There resovernt soverelgatios ia this countrs.—tirat, tho an uty of te Amcrican people, then the soverelznty nearest to 18 all—tho sovereigns ty of tho familys the abeolute right nf each faniily ty control ite dfaire In accoraaner with the con= Cictions of bath ‘the heade of the family.

Ench household, by following Heewa convictions and holding it self responsible to God, will, 1 think, bo respoot+ ed by the American people. ‘This part of the speech, it will be observed, was two-edged sword, cutting both ways. It was a beautiful complimentto Mrs, Hayes, but a sufficient notice that Mrs. Garfield did not Intend to follew In her footsteps, ‘The speech, as a whole, was one of the most felicitous of all that Gen, Gartield has ut- tered; and tt was seareely 400 words In all, 1t isn pity that the press reporter should have thought it necessary to mutilate it: In send- Ing It to the country, Mu. Sreriuny 2. Dorsey, it is said, has written a letter strongly indorsing the char- acter of Mr. Tom Brady, the Second Assist- ant Postmaster-General, manager of the cor- tupt and profligate Star-Route Division of the Department. We are not informed who constituted Mr. Stephen LB. Dorsey a sponsor for other people’s characters, nor why his “Indorsement” should be considered yalua- ble In this particular instance, Itsohappens that the accuser of Tom Brady Is also the ac- euser of Stephen D3. Dorsey, Thoy are both Inthe sane boat, and tarred with the same stick, The Washington correspondent of the World, alter reciting the charges of Ilinds agalust Brady, already published in ‘Tir ‘Tripune, continues as follows: ‘The record shows, Hinds obarzea, that Stephon B. Dorsey teeame interested In mail contracts before ho left tho Senate, and that be and his brother and brothar-in-lnw have had increases AMouUnting, on sovonty-odd routes, to more than $500,000 Ink year. If Brady Is guilty. Dorsey is, Consequent- ly itis becoming In nefther to indorse the character of the other. But, since Mr. Dor- sey has volunteered todo this great service for Brady, it would be only common grati- tue for Brady to do as much for him. We shall look with Interest, therefore, for an In- dorsement of tho character of Mr. Dorsey by his next Criend, Mr, ‘Tom Brady. Senator Anaus Camrnoy, of Wisconsin, when his term expired, announced that he would nat be a candidate for reflection, and, after a sharp struggle, Mr. Philetus Sawyer scettred the prize, Soon afterwards Matt Carpenter died, leaving four years of unex- pired term. ‘Thereupon Angus reconsidered his intention to retire from tho Sonate, and concluded that he would tke to remain in that body four years longer to help Gartleld’s Administration. He returned home, Inid siege to the Legislature, stormed the fort, and cnptured §t at tho point of the bayonct,— Scotch style of doing things. In 1875, when Carpenter’s first term ns Sen- ator expired, ho was undera cloud In Wis- consin on account of his Credit-Moplller and snlary-zrab transactions, and bitter hostility to Civil-Servies reform, which he ridi- lously proclaimed to be unconstitutional! ‘The consequence was, Mr. Cameron was elected by the fuston of eighteen bolting Republicaus and fifty-one Democrats over Mr. Carpenter, who was then the regular nominee of the Republican enucus,’ Mr. Cameron has made a falthful and consistent Senator, and his six years’ service in Wash- ington with be of substantial servico to him, His new term will expire {n 1835, Tho Journet says that ‘The Democrats were Induced to support Cameron in 1875 for Senntor because it was belleved that he had recepted a Hberal platform whieh had been telegraphed him at Ia Crosse; but lt after- wards proved that Cameron never saw It until after his election, and that Mr. Losey, Cameron’s huw-partner and a Democrat, had aceepted it for iilin in his absence.” BLAINE'S, OPPORTUNITY, Mr. Blalne Is not a statesman likely to seek ‘that retirement from pubile viow, that quasl out-of-sight-out-of-inind obscurity, which n place in the Cabinet might afford. . Ie is not compelled by necessity, political or personal, nor does he as a matter of taste retire from 4 Congress to the Cabinet for rest from the active consideration of public aifairs in which he has always taken a conspicuous part. On the contrary, Mr. Blnine becomes Sceretary of State In Garficld's Adininistra- tion that he may find a greater and a wider field of actlye and progressive statesmanship than fs afforded In the Senate or the*House, Itls more than likely that the State Depart- nent during the next four years will furnish more netivity to National polltics than it has for halt a century, Mr. Bhune has au opportunity for accom-" plishing a great Anertean international com- mercial system, without precedent In its magnitude and Incomparable in its great benetits. On the north of the present Imits of the United States aro the British provinces, ox- tending from the Atlantic to the Taclfic, inost of which are included In the Dominion of Canada. ‘To the south of us Iles unfortu- nate, poor, and feeble Mexico, and beyond this to the Jsthinus the smatier States In- eluded ‘In the Central American group, Southeast of us liv the Spanish West Indian Islands, fertite and productive, and to which the people of this country pay large tribute. These several States, from Hudson's Bay to tho Isthinus of Panama, naturally form what may bo ealled an exolusively American system, not merely poiltical, but In the mat- tor of natural products and reeiprocat come merelal Interests. They have varied climates and productions, speak various langunges, have different habits, customs, forms of gov- ernment and religions, but they hnve an ldentlty of interests, the same absence of surlous European alliances, the strongest in- ducements for the closest commercial reta- tlons, and have essentially the common feel- ing that ns against the rest of the world they should bo a unit, No one nota madman proposes that these States should be consolidated, or that tho United States sould annex them, either by force, by negotiation, or otherwise, What- over extension of the territury of the United States may take place ju the future must tuke plice under the healthful fruition of thie and by the free cholee of people impos- albly to bu kept separate any longer. . My, Blalne’s opportunity ts not In the Ine of wn annexationlst, but In-Qie moro useful work of Including the whole continent north of Moxicu under one system of commer celal reguintion, whereby one and the same turli€ law, the same scule of duties and iin ports, the same custom-house rules, shall prevail everywhere alikeln the United States and in the Domivion Provinces; and at'the same tle a liberal reciprocity of trade to ex- tend to Mexico, Central America, and the Weat Indies, ‘Tho United States exliibit the grand sys tei of no less than thirty-elglit Btates con- tutning over 50,000,000 people with du inter: Stato tree trade, and with all thelr varied Interests, cllinates, productions, and wants, harmoniously exchanglug commodities under one common tarig, and one common system ofcommerce. If this be posstble and. su cessful tinder thirty-eight States, why not under forty-eight States? ‘Tho productions of Maino and New Brunswick, or Michigan and Ontario, differ no more than those of Towa and {inols, or Kentucky and Ohio. Tho oxtension of the Inter-State free-trade aystem to Canada would bo no more dificult than was Its extension to Texas and Califor nin nm comparatively short timo since. Twenty yenra ago the man would have bean pronounced hrsane who hind proposed thats Canadian postal-stamp should carry a latter throngh the nails of the United States; now the stamp of any of the elvillzed Governments of the world will carry n letter free of other charge to the uttermost limits of tho earth, ‘l'o propose now and to carry Into excention an extension of the American Inter-State free-trade commerce to the British Posses- } sions at the north, and a Iiberal reelprocity treaty with Mexico and the Central Amer- lean States, is no more vistonary and fs de- eliledly more practicable than was the now world-wide Postal Union n few years aga. The time for such a continental, inter State, free-trade system of exchanges fy em- Inently propitions. Moro than twenty-five years ago, the present State of Texns was forcibly wrenched from Mextco by n revolu- tlon conilucted ontiraly by Americans who had settled there, Subsequently the United States made Texas a part of tho Union, ant thon waged war on Mexico; tho result of the war ins the spollation of Mexico of immense portions of her remaimlng territory, unfortunate country, turn by domestic dis- senstons, sold and betrayed by popular lead- ery, with her industries paralyzed by chronic elvil war, has always entertained strong re- sentment towards this country, aud cherished deep distrust of our people. ‘The once-fa- yored schemy for the conquest of Mexico, that room might be made for the extension of slavery, perished with slavery. No one now desires to conquer 9 foot of Mexican suil, The conquest thatls sought is in the Ine of peacatul commerce. Amorican cap- itul is now building ratlroads Into Mexico, which raitroads are to penetrate that country Just ag they do an American State, reaching forward to every locality, every port, and every productive contre in the land, seeking a market in which to sell and in which to buy. ‘Two lines of rallway sre now under way,—one crossing the boundary at El Paso, and moving down to the Pacific coast; the other extending through ‘Texas, and pushing through tho more densely populated States alrect to the City of Mexico. That For what is thts money to be expended? To establish trade and commerce? Let us see how and on what terms wo can trade with Mexico. At present, under the tariff of Mextco, a duty with be levied on all Ameri enn goods crossing the boundary, and alson duty to the State the train first enters. As the train bearing the guods reaches tho boundary of the next State another tax Is collected, and so on. Every tine tho goods are moved from one State over the Ine of another State a new duty is collected. By the time the goods rench to any extent Into the country the National, the State, and even the mitnicipal tariffs have so swollen the cost that there are but few persons in Mexico able to purehase them. anything to sell, each State and each munici- pality, as well as the National Government, levies and collects an export duty on alt that foes out, and by the tine Mexican goods So when Mexico has would rench the American boundary thelr cost would become too great to admit of any one ouylng them here, ‘To talk of expend- ing several hundred millions of American money to build railroads through Mexico to establish a trade between this and that coun- try so long ag Mexico has a prohibitory tariff system such as we haya. mentioned {s outof tho question, Now, If Mr. Blaine wilaccomplish a refor- mation of these obstacles resulting in the freost exchange of commodities between alt the States and provinces of North America, either by the extension north and south of the American inter-State free-trade system, or by an international arrangement of duties, uniform and common to this and to all these adjoining countries, he will accomplish for himself imperishable credit and have gained for hls country and for the peopla of tha nelghboring States benefits whieh will bo enduring, Ho will practicully establish ‘a perpetual pence on this continent, Ie will bind these sixty or more millions of people in the strong links of commercial amity; ho will cement the feellng of Americanism, and, while necessarily producing no change or disturbauce in thelr politleal governments, ho will practically unite thom ull, com- merelatly, Into that * ocenan-bound Republic” which was once supposed could only bo ac- complished by tho foroc of arma. IRISH LAND-REFORM POSTPONED, ‘Tho cable-dispatches state that the pros- pects of the Irish Land bill are becoming des- perate, The Pall Mull Gazette, which 1s the organ of the advanced Liberals, and the Lon- don Zimes of the Moderates, agree In this opinion that no lund Dill witt be pressed. ‘There are several reasons for belleving the evil nows to be true, It is doubtful, In the first place, whether the Gladstone Govern- ment has any earnest desire to press the question of Irish land-reforin further at this session, ‘Tho bulk of the Cabinet are feudal Inndlords, ‘The ruling classes In England are hostile to the whole business of land- reform, or lower rents, or better tenures for the farmers, The regular business of Par- Mament has been postpnned to force through the Coercion Dill, and fy now banked up tna formidable way belund the obstruction which that harsh, eruel mensitre met with In its on- actinent. Parliament las been fn session three months, and yet not one stroke of ordl- nary public bualness has been transactud. ‘Tho budget has not been presented,* The supply bills have not been introduc. None of the mensures of municipal or fiseal re- form which Gladstone promised to accom- pilsh has been so much as ‘considered, The pressure of local Interests on the Govern- nent to get it outof the labyrinth into which {thas strayed must be well-nigh Irresistible, It the Governineut wore ever s0 much dis- posed to press tho Land bill to an early vote, Itmight not bo ably te do go,, Evidences multiply that the ‘Tory leaders have been playing an exceodingly deep game during all the discussion of the Covreion law and the Disorming bill, and tho rule by which busi- ness ay in future bedeclared urgent. ‘They Lave combined with the Liberals in all the yotes which had for thalr object the suppres- sion of tennnt-farmer combination In Ire- Jand, but they huye never comutted them- selves fo any scheme of rellof or land-re- form, Thoy have encouraged the Parnuilites to put forth all thelr strength In opposition to the Courclon ast, so that they might have none loft far the Land bill, And they have looked with complacency, Jf not with pos- itlvo satisfaction, on the weeks of the session frittered away in hopeless op- position, knowing that the prospects of* any, measure of practical rellof would thus be rendered more remote. harsh ropression laws which will Intensify popular suffering and discontent in Ireland, but they have never agreed to stand by him in tho remedial measures which ha bas sol- emnly promised to apply. ‘They have come now to the fork In the roads, The wrongs which the feudal tandlords complained of have been righted. Those which the tenants ‘They have helped Mr. Gladstone to pass the | enduro inay walt indetinitly for considera- tion, Tho ‘Tortea are absolute masters of tho altuntion, Mr. Gindstono tng Kindly fure nished thom, in the urgency rule, with a elu by means of which they can, whenever thoy choose, beat out the brains of any land DIL that stiall bo fntroduced. ‘Tho adoption ofa rule concerning tho limitation of Par- linmentary debate anthorizes and makes re- spectable any obstruction that shall not como within the reach of that rute. It would fore merly have been considered unwise, If not Indecent, to talk against an important public mensure merely for the sake of kill- fn time. It cwill no longer boa so considered. ‘The Torles would unques- tionably use against Mr. Gindstone, If driven to It, precisely the weapons which the Parnellites employed so long against the combined forees of tho Liberals ant Con- seryatives. The urgency tule, It will bo ob- served, is cunningly contrived to bit it ivs a deer but miss if it’s a calf.$ Tho Irish in this case are the deer, and the English Conserva- tives the enlyes, The urgency rule ttocsn't hittho Iatter. Po declare urgency it Is re- attired that at least 300 members shal! vote, and three-fourtifs of those voting niust be in favor of stopping debate before It enn be so ordered, Such majority ean never be ob- talned against either of the regular parties. The Irish members are said to be so conscious of tho prejudices against Ireland nnd the intentions of the majority in Parlin- ment, or at least. of all the Conservative minority, to postpone action on the Land bill, that aconctliatory course in the Comumit- tee on Stpply is contemplated. We fear that this act of tardy subnyssion will not have the effect lioped for. ‘Tho English Inndowners will require stronger = in- ducements than the conellintory conduct of a few Irishmen In Parliament to induce them to give up their grip on the Im- poverished peasantry of the country. By all nppearances tho lust condition of tho Irish tenantry will be worse than the first. The ‘Tories have got all they want from Gladstone on the Irish question, With the Coercion act and the Disarming act they fecl themselves fully able to rack-rent and crush the tenant farnjers,—to put down boycotting, and apply the modern thumbserews to all their delin- quent tenants, Sotho work of wyiction, ex- tortion, and plunder will go on. ‘The rich will be nade richer, and the poor poorer; and the crime of poverty will bo punished In Ireland moro severely than over. But to all propositions of land-reform they will answer, ag Felix did to Paul; “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convontent season I will call for thee.” Giadstono and his supporters will perhaps say thnt they have redeemed thelr promises when they havo introduced a bill and have failed to obtain consideration for it, But they must be conscious, In that case, that they have broken the word of promise to the hope, though they may have kept it to the ear. ‘The work in Ireland will be but half dono; and singularly enough that half will be In the Interest of rich oppressors agalnst the weak and wretched masses, ‘This will he Indeed but a sorry conclusion to the mag- mificent program of justice to alt men with which the Liberal policy for Ireland was in- troduced at tho beginning of the session. THE AMERICAN FISHERIES, In connection with tho appropriation of $103,000 made by the Forty-sixth Congress for the bullding of a seagoing steamer for the use of the United States Fish Commis- ston, Prof. Baird, under whose stipervision tho steamer will bo built, has made avery interesting statement of tho advantages ox- pected to bo derived from the appropriation, ‘Tho Professor defines these advantages un- der threo general heads: 1. ‘The accurate location of our fishing grounds, the kinds ot balt most attractive, and the best methods of fishing. 2, The discovery and deflnition of new Qshing grounds which undoubtedly ex- ist. 3, An inquiry into the winter abodes of many of our fish, such as mackerel, menhin- don, bluefish, and other species; and the In- stitution of rellef to our fshermon from de- pendence upon Canadian waters, either for fish or for bait, In tho enurse of Nis roport, Prof. Batrd gives an extremely Interesting !!lustratlon of the valuable results attained by the Cominis- slon, In 18700 new fish, tho tlle fish, was nc- cldentally taken by 9, Gloucestor fisherman, It was forwarded to the Comunission. . Prof, Baird says; 1n September, 1880, the Fish Hawk procoeded to tho locality whore thoso fish woru takon, about soventy-tlyo miles south of Newport, and alscovered that this was in tho western edge of thoGuif Stroam, On putting down tho trawi- not tha seu bottom was fuund to bo rich In an- imal life beyond any previous exvorionce of the Comnmisslor, the muss and variety beinw per- fectly startling, and a jorge numbor of new speciosa being roadily aocured in n short timo, ‘Ihe quantity of crabs, Bbell tisn, otc., serving as fond for Hshes, was incaloulabilo, ‘Tho Nahing-tinca wore then brought into requisition and the tile flab found in an abuns dunce proportional to that of its food. Tho fish were thon traced i three successive trips af the vosselaloug an extent of sixty miles, whore they. Bprcaret to bo ns abundant as codfish on thelr bunks, and were taken with even greater facllity with tho book. The ficsh was found to ‘bo moat palatable, und to be capable of presorya- on by Ce or drying in tho same way as tho cod. A fish, thorefore, which two years azo was entirely unknown, even to the fshermen, now bile tale, when ite distribution ts better aseer> tained, to constitute a most important object of purvult by tho fishermen, and to hnvo the ca- pocial advantage of occurring further to tha south than tho localitica on which the cod and hatlbutvro abundant, and to be equuiily ucces- alble froin any port of the const, It ls extrome- ly desirable 0 prosecuta this inquiry, song to uacertaln exactly over what degrous of Intitudo the tle tah occurs. The diminution of the Inshore fishing, es- pecially in the case of the halibut, one Gipe most tmportant fish In tho market, anyatho decline In the Inshore fishertes const ait theroupon, add xreat finportance 14° ‘do work of this Commission, Cod and rite are both graduatly disappearing, not In ui- bers, but from thelr old localities, and con- scquently thelr new abodes should be dis- covered, On the Southern coast also there fy need of Investigation. The sen-bass and red-snapper are known to oxist tn vast quantities, while a few localities only are known, Inthe Gulf of Mexieo und on the Paciflo const there are yaluable and almost inexhaustible stores of fish, and yet tho best fishing-grounds are not known, ‘An Incl- dental result of winter explorations off the Middle and Southern consts of tha United States will be in all probability the discoy- ery of the present winter grounda of certain fishes that are abundant near tho shores only In summer, but which for from four to six mouths are nbsent In entirely unknown win- ter quarters,” says Prof, Baird, Including such fish as tha mackerel, bluefish, men- haden, swordtish, horse’ mackerel, shad, galnion, and Spantsh mackerel, It hardly needs any argument to establish tho dmpertance of this Commission, Fish has become a standard food neceaalty, With the Increased facilities tor transporting It, not only smoked and sulted, but fresh, the demand has greatly increased In this coun. try, and, agulu, the success of the United States exhibit in the Kishory Exhibition at Borlln has alrendy led to contracts betwoen Europea nd American dealers utnounting to miliid toe dollars, which must greatly In- creaso the demand, in the face of, this de- mand It ts notorious that the vupply is not inereasing, not because the actual supply of tish Is flessoning, but because our fishermen have not the knowledge of the best fishing grounds, und during a part of the year have no knowledge at oll of the localities where fish are to be found. Prof. Baird oull further mentions tho In troduction of a new method of cod-fshing among the American fishermen which is destined to work an Important change, ‘This Is the Norwegian system of taking codfish by means of gill-neis with glass Honts, Heroto- fore the capture of codfish has been depend- ent upon the supply of balt, which nad ta be obtained by resort to the British Provinces. ‘The gill-net system will obviate this neces- sity, and nt tho same time remove to some «e- greo the possibility of those dispntes which have been go frequentof late years, and have so embarrassed Anglo-Amerienn dlplomnacy, In all respects the objects of this Commisstot aro yitally Important, and {tts .0 matter for congratulation that it will soon have tho use of a vessel specially adapted for the purpose, an ndvantage it has never had before, Its present vessel, tha Fish-Hawk, not being stanch enough to rough it in all kinds of weather, be FAIR PLAY IN BUTTER. ‘The oleomargarino dealers and manifact- urers have takon tho bull boldly by the horns, and fia tong contribution to the New York Tonea defend thelr product and claim that it is superior to creamory-butter, ‘Thoy assert that, belng greatly superior to tho latter | article, it hag interfered with Its sale and driven-miuch of it from tho market, and hence the hostility of: the pure butter men, and that itis not inimical to the dairy Inter- est except ns the dairy Interest Is understoott to be meant ‘tho dealers fn tho” common wrades ot butter, “ Oleomargarine butter, whieh 1s the, off from perfectly fresh beef suet, frep from animal tissue or other tm- purity, churned together with pure fresh milk, is, wo claim, a food article of positive merit,” say these dealers,—a rather violent assumption in these days when perfectly fresh beef suet and puro fresh milk ure rare articles. Assuming, however, that {tis made of these things in thelr perfection, the dealers #0 on to fortify thelr assertions with the aNidavits of a dozen or more chemists, Pro- fessors, and prominent members of Boards of Health, ag well as of a tnrgo number of the members of the New York Product Ex- change. ‘The substance of those nMidavits is to the effect that tho oleomargarins butter made by the Mége process Is perfectly whole- some, and healthy, ond palatable; that there {s no sanitary objection to the unrestricted manufacture and srlo of It; that itdoes not become rancid, and 1s free from the objec- tlonable taste and odor of much of the butter sold in the market; and that, while It may not enter into competition with the finest grades of grass-butter, it will serve to drive tho poorer qualities ont of the market, and In this respect will be a benefit, ‘The defense of the manufacturers closes with the follow- Ing declaration; — ‘Tho nume, aleomargarine, ts fixed by statutory enactment.

It makes very little difference what oleomar- garine 1s or how many amlid&Vits are made to its excellence, Whnt the public desire is to know what thoy are buymg, and when people ask for the genutno old-fashioned butter thoy don’t want oleomargarino palmed off on them as such, Justso soon us denlors and manufacturers nro honest.erough ‘to deslx- nate every package of. their product so that its charactor is known, there will bo no hos- tility toit, forthe buyer then buys at his own risk, knows what he is buying, and has no ground for complaint, Y Tre Philadetphia Prevs and Times, tho Boston Herutd, the New York Linea, and all the other papers that protested against Stanley Matthews before the Inauguration, reiterate thelr objections nowy, sineq, it 1s re- ported that he is to be nominated again, Tho Press says that Gen.
