Thers ia more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

TLwve i nothing- in tho records of Atwcicau legislation bicli as a piece of ntnpid and ruthless tyranny equals tb? rclroactire clause of the taxi IT bill ju.sl ikia-mxI in tli lower branch of con-grv. Tins face of legal opinion as well a of popular judgment bas always been KtoriJjr set against ex post facto laws opOMl not only to public Interest, but to tire psontlal spirit of our institutions.

Yet the tariff mocgers Lave not forborne to include such a clause in bill, in itlf the most extreme in It high protection abuses ever pro-pol in to make lis burden still more onerous. Fanaticism could gx no further in party mndncss. Whether thi retroactive feature of the tariff would, in ca? of its becoming: a law. etanl tle ordeal of the court- is doubtful. No precisely similar case has ever lcen brought before the supreme bench, or.

indeed any other of our aw tribunals. far as wc can learn. That it.s spirit does not accord with tbatpup-posed to be dominant in our poitical system is clear at half a glance. Tins, far more than any technical or superficial agreement with tho established course of things, if such an apparent concord existed, as is not the ca.e. would control the final decision.

Hut in the meantime, during the pendency of I he question, retroactive jurisdiction will do more to unsettle and agitate the business of the count ry han would even the finaJ results of the tariff itself. Uncertainty is the prime factorof business convulsion, especially in thoe branches of business which deal with articlcsof a perUhablo nature, or uch as ore ul-ject to rapid fluctuation of price. In these days. too. of immense production end of steamship and cab! as commercial factors, prices fluctuate far more rapidly than in tho more easy-going days of old.

An illustration of the working of the rtrtactivo clause may bo instanced in the case of the. fruit commission merchants of New York city. Nearly all fruit arriving at this port is consigned, anil the American merchant ha to tnnl.e large advances. to make sure of his cargoes. Under the provision that only fro Is purchased and shipped prior to April 1 of this year will be free of tho new excessive tariff, in case it becomes, a law.

foreign fruit when it begins fo arrive wilt be met by exactions positively ruinous in iti competition wilh the native fruit. The trade of hundred of merchant will be destroyed. While thecae of fruit Importation, owing1 to perishable quality and liability to quick prico fluctuations, perhaps is an extreme example, many other products will share in part a similar drawback. All consigned goodsami these constitute a very important portion of tbo volume of commercanl business will l-e specially liable. Importation purchased absolutely belong to tho more stable priced articles as a rule, and tho excessive hard-ship in any individual cac would be less.

Hut here alK can be readily perceived the burden, which will tax btisincM and cramp tbo operations of the merchant; for it In 1cI4 that the difference between the new tkitn and how of the Wilson tariff would constitute a lien all fToods. Tle republican party came into fmwer wilh clamorous braggadocio as the cdvonce ngeney of A oro monstrous travesty on its claim tan scarcely Ik? fancied than thts tariff, which arouse dr testation in the minds of the ir.oro intelligent members of its own political family, and further invokes en agency which would scarcely be. tolerable even ia a despotic government of the I'uropeof to-day.

In the method adopted to procure the passage of the Dingley bill the republican majority hn dive-stel itself of its constitutional function. It has sent a bill to the senate without discussing it or perfecting' it- Tho duty unperformed, in the house will tie devolved upon the r-enatc; ami while tho Dingley bill will, no doubt, le a very different measure niter the dLcussion and amendment which it is sure to receive, the senate Is.

It is likely that, if the republicans In the house were really free men, there would have leen many more protests the Dinglcy bill from tiie majority side than were recorded. For it ia to be observed that where the iron rulo docs not opcrato to cheek expression of opinion. republicans ar freely condemning this latest manifestation of republican disreg-anl for the wishes and tho right" of the people.

In fact, for tho past four years leading republican papers all over the country have beet, at pains to deprecate n-ny further attempt to force tho republican party into commitment to a tariff olicy that is not only antagonistic to the commercial and industrial interests of the country, but which was cordially disapproved by the people in two general elections. The evil of MeKinleyism. which stirred up this republican opposition to proseriptive tariffs, was less of an evil than this proposed assault on the people, for the reason that it did not go so far as does Ilingleytsra in the direction of delivering tho masses wholly over to the trusts and, the capitalists. Tliat the republiean opposit ion in the house to the Pingley bill is wholly disproportionate to the republican opposition throughout the country is due simply to the fact that only very few mcinljers of tho majority have dared to say what they think about it or to vote as they think. They are protect iontets.

Herald. THE OLD STAGE COACH.

An Expensive Mode of Travel The Driver a Man of Importance. The old stage coaches that used to un on the hidiwav between Xew York and lloston, when Xew Haven was one of the principal stations on the line, were peculiar institutions. There were very few that traveled either for business or pleasure, and when a man did travel he was supposed to be very forehanded, or else that he represented some very wealthy institution or corporation. The usual price for carrying passengers on the old coaches was from six to ten cents per mile, according to the speed and nccommodations. If a person has to ride on the roof of the coach, when there were seats for from nine to fifteen persons, he could go for six cents a mile.

If he was an inside passenger, where there were accommodations for he must pay ten cents a mile. In the dead of winter it was much pleasanter to be an inside passenger. Hut in a warm June day, when the cool breezes came off the sound, it was much pleasanter to be r.n outsider. Whenever the coach stopped for meals the passenger had to pay 182 cents for breakfast or supper, and 25 cents for his dinner. If iie wanted a stimulating beverage he had to pay six rents for a glass of French brandy, three cents for a glass of gin or Jamaica rum, ami two cents for a glass of whisky.

If he purchased a cigar he generally paid one cent iot one made of domestic tobacco or three cents if he took a warranted Havana cigar. The stage driver, as may be supposed, was also a great man in his way, and he was generally on terms of intimacy with every prominent person along his route, which was about 15 miles. He it was who would give out important news at every stopping place where it was asked for, and when l.c stood at the bar of the hotel with his long coach whip under his arm and his long drab overcoat coming down to his heels looked like one of the old Knglish coachmen just stepped out of a frame of a picture of early times. And when the coach went whirling down the highway at the rate often good English miles an hour it was ac exhilarating sight and dozens of laborers in the fields would wave thcii hands and cheer as it went by.

In the center rises the Obelisk of Luxor, presented by the pasha of Hgypt to Louis Philippe. It is flanked on cither side by a large fountain. The Place de la Concorde sccni3 somewhat wrongly called, in view of the history of the spot. One hundred and fifty years ago it was an open field. But in ISIS the city accepted the gracious permission of Louis XV.

to erect a statue to him here. The place then took his name and retained it till the new regime, in 1789, melted down the 6tatuc and converted it into two-cent pieces. On the 30th of May, 17T0, during an exhibition of fireworks here, a panic took place and 1,200 people were trampled to death and 2,000 moro were severely injured. The occasion was the attempt of the people to express, by a grand celebration, their unbounded joy at the recent marriage of the young dauphin with the Austrian princess Marie Antoinette. On the 21st of January, 1793, they gathered here again in immense numbers to sec the head of the same dauphin, now Louis chopped off by the sharp guillotine.

During tho next two years tho spot well earned its title, "Place of the Revolution," for the guillotine had not ceased its work until Marie Antoinette, Charlotte, Mme. Klisabcth (tho king's sister), Robespierre, and more than people had here perished by its deadly stroke. II. II. Ragan, in Chautauquan.
