Sworn to and subscribed before me this thir- teenth day of February, 158%. Jouy T. ©. Ctanx, Notary Public. Mr. Biaine has furnished, by his own voluntary act,a key to the problem which wholly without Lis agency, had already bronght serious vekation to the minds of the republican pafty. It was practically amitted, on all hands, that be could have the nomfnation if he wished it, as no other republican In publle Itfe approached him in per- sonal popularity. It was evident, however, from his actions, that he bad no taste for sush ap empty honor. If the noim!nation had come to him as thé vote of & united convention, he would probably have accepted ft: but the mere majority which ‘would have sattsfled an ordinary candidate had no ‘charms for him. The question which will arise im many minds on reading Mr. Blaine’s letter 1s whether it was writ. ten in entire good faith, or with the iden that it imight cali forth an enthustastic demand from nis party that he shonbi withdraw 1t and run again. Ils nearest friends tn this country, those who ha shared his contilence for many years and who pets haps know better than any one else the purpose for which he ent himself loose for a season from the cares of politics and the tles of home, agree tn the belief that his werds contain mo meaning but that whieh fs apparent om their face. This, how- eter, does not preciute the possibility of his stil ing political ends tn view. He may prefer dirtating the nomiuation to Tecetving It himself. He may deste to repeat 11 1889 the operations of 1881, and resume his plac? tm the cabinet as Secretary of State, moulding to a large extent the internal po'tey of the eamini- stration, and its foreign policy entirely. It ts well | known that he has a program in diplomacy to! carry out, which tas eut short by the Geath of his | chief seven years ago; and doubtless his ideas in | this line have been expanded and derioped be- ground abroad. It being granted that thtsdectination tn advance | 45 final, the next inquiry that arises ts who, of oll the now prominent republican statesmen, will re- | | NELS in all evades ceive the support of Mr. Mr. Sherman and Mr. Al 3m a position vo prot by the withdrawal of their nost powerful competitor. Mr. Sherman is very Strong among the Gerinan voters, and his career as Seeretary of the Treasury commended {tselt to ‘Wail street sufficient! pretty solid backing from that quarter; while Mr, Allison’s conservative course In partisan matters, and his learning and experience as a financier, ne’s loyal following. have made hitn a host of admirers and spered nun | the antagonists agaiust which men who have | een more active With tongwe and pen would be obliged to struggle Ina canvass But two potnts | arise at once to the mind in considering the partisan eligibility of either of these gentle. men: One fs the locality from which each hails, fand the other the position of each on the tariff ‘question, Which promises to be the leading issue An the next catapaiga. Obiois no longer thedoubt- ful state or the October Waterioo which tt was in times gone by, and the necessity of placating its ‘Voters 1s not so pressing. Iowa is in a great deal more danget of giving {ts electoral vote for a low. tariff democrat. Mr. Sherman !s a protectionist of the iron-ribbed school. Mr. Allison, if correctly quoted by the papers of late, has frankly admit- ted the necessity of a considerable revision, and hfs farmer constituents are with bim almost to a man. His state is full of ex-soldiers, who would Father vote for a republican than a democrat if they had the choice presented to them without any Incidental issues, Dut they have otuer interests to consutt also, It will now be interesting to watch the effect Of Mr. Biaine’s letter upon the organization to ‘which it 1s addressed, and upon the several can- Widates for its leadership. His withdrawal 1s Mxely to leave the republican party where Mr. Cleveland’s withdraws] would leave the demo- rats, With a number of good captains in the Held, Dut no general, re Care should be taken in the regulation of the street railways of Washington that larger returns, to tue public from these franchises may be secured. A mete chanze of the method of taxa- Won DF substituting a tax on gross enrnings tor ‘one upon real and personal property does not meet the case. Indeed such a form of taxation is some- Umesoffered asa tempting ait to western rail- Toads to induce them to build into territories. Of course the percentage of protits to be paid could be placed Lixh enough to equal or exceed the amount to be obtained by taxation in the regular way, but there ts objection tm the popular mind to an exceptional form of | taxation for corporations, Which frees them from taxation upon tangible property, and makes their Payment to the public depend upon their report of growsearnings. Compensation to the public for the frauchise should not be confused with or merged in current taxation upon tangible, espe- cially real, property. The valu: of street ratlway franchises ts indicated by the results of last sum. mer’s sales in New York city under the new law for the disposal of such fran. chises. These sales were by auction, start. ing under the law With a designated price of 3 per cent on gross Yeceipts for five years and S percent afterward. One franchise for a cross. town road in 2th and 29th streets, with certain permissory branches, brouglt 26 2-10 per cent more than the 4 per cent on gross earnings pre. seribed by the law, so that °% 2-10 per cent will be Paid for the first five years, aud 31 2-10 per cent thereatter. Another franchise for a Fulton-street cross-town road brought an aggrezate, including legal enaction and premium, of 38 per cent on ita Kross receipts for the first five years, and 40 per cent thereafter. [allway franchises ate valuable property to be paid for to the public in some way, outside of the taxation to be met after the prop- erty is acquired. —_ Flow much of the news telegraphed from Potts.

HANDKERCHEIFS AT HALF AND LESS THAN HALF PRICE. Twice » year our Belfast manufacturers gather towother all their slightly-imperfect haud-embroidered Handkerchiefs snd send them to us at a ridictlously low price as a “drive.” ‘They are hero; come in bargain time; and we unhesitatingly claim them to be the cheapest lot of Handkerchiefs ever offered over our counter, They include all Handkerchiefs thrown out by the overseers for the least imper- fection, such as pin holes in the body of the Jinen, errors of learners in following the pat- terns, drawn threads, mistakes in colora, &e. As fino Land-embroidered Handkerchiefs ara now carried more as an oruawont than for prac- tical use, and as the imperfections in most cases are very slight, iu tact, not perceivable when inuse, we thiuk customers will be pleased to buy them at the prices named,1.e,, balf aud greatly less then Lalf the price asked by us for the saine eoods when perfect. We have divided the stock into three lots, as foliows, and have conspicuously displayed them on a center counter infront of our Handkerchief Dopart- mext, mate floor, front ot cashier's desk.
