Question* of Great Importance. llow shall the evils of municipal gov- j ernment, the poverty, the vice, engen-1 dered by the disproportionate growth of urban populations, he dealt with as that growth continues? How shall immigra tion be regulated so that precious insti tutions may not be threatened by too large an influx of those lacking in as similative power and inclination? How shall the full measure of duty towards that race, to which in God's providence this country has been so long a home, be discharged so that participation in common rights may lead to and rest upon equal education and intelligence? llow shall monopoly be checked, and the pressure of accumulation yield to that equitable distribution, which shall "undo excess, and each man have enough?" How shall the individual be held to the recognition of his responsi bility for government, and to meet the demand of public obligation? llow shall corruption in private and public life be eradicated? These and like questions must be an swered, and they will be by the nation of Washington, which, in the exercise of the sagacity and prudence and self control born of free institutions, and the cultivation of the humanities of Christian civilization, will hallow the name American by making it the syn onym of the highest sense of duty, the highest morality, the highest patriotism, and so become more powerful and more noble than the powerful and noble Roman nation, which stood for centuries the embodiment of law and order and government, but fell when the gods of the fireside fled from the hearthstones, whose sanctity had been invaded, and its citizens lost the sense of duty in in dulgence in pleasure.— Chief Justice Fuller. Official* Neglecting Their Duty. At no time during the twenty years in which we have published the Star have so many letters come to us from sub scribers complaining of the non-receipt of their papers as during the past six months. The fault does not lie with the home post office we are assured. The papers leave this place properly, but are lost in transit. As nearly all of the papers contain printed addresses there can be no excuse for this state of affairs. The fault no doubt lies with route agents who are either incompetent or too lazy to attend to their duties. Uncle Sam's post office department is getting sadly demoralized it seems. All papers leave the office of publication regularly and we shall use every possible effort to have them reach their proper destination. Subscribers who do not receive their papers regularly will confer a favor by notifying us of the fact.— Plymouth Star. A similar state of affairs exist here. The utmost precaution is used in mailing the TRIBUNE, yet there is scarcely a week passes without out-of-town subscribers notifying us that their papers did not reach them. For many months past we have been trying, but as yet are unable, to locate the difficulty. We have learned lately that there are other publishers in this section suffering from the same abuse, and, if there will be no change in a short time, something heavy will drop among the mail agents when it is least expected. William Collin* Whitney. Who will be the Democratic nominee in 1892? is a question which has been asked frequently since midnight of last November 6, and probably before then. New York may have its fill of discord over the relative merits and demerits of Hill and Cleveland, but it will be well to remember that there is truth in the proverb which insists that the race is not always to the swift. There is an- j other man who looks forward to at least' honorable mention in the next Demo- ' cratio national convention, and there ' are thousands of Democrats who will work incessantiy that he may get it. His personal popularity is undoubted, | and the means at his command are al- ; most without limit. The Cleveland and Hill factions can unite upon him and he will draw to his support every one of those free lances who are generally op posed to everybody that is acceptable to J the majority of the party. While he was in Washington he was beloved by Republicans as well as Democrats, and when he went away he was missed more; than any other man in the Cleveland administration. Keep at least one eye on William Col lins Whitney, ex-secretary of the navy. Oive Home Taper, the Preference. The local newspaper is the one news paper that should command the patron age of the community. If only one journal can be taken in a family, it should be the one published ut home. There is now little excuse for any per son of ordinary intelligence not taking a city daily with the local newspapers, since the V>cst can ho had for a nominal ; co3t; but there should ever be the heart iest accord and sympathy between the local newspaper and the community.— Pftila. Time. Immigration Iteerearlng. The immigration to this country for the last eleven months foots up 407,2157, against 408,591 in eleven months of 1888, THE ONE WHO IS LEFT BEHIND. What Font! und Foolish Creatures Wouien Sometime* Are. | Tho one who is left behind—ah. the I one who is left behind! It is almost always a woman. What does she do? If she loves tho caieless, happy-go ! lucky young follow, she will gaze after him through a vista of tears as long as there is a piece of him in sight and then she will rush up stairs and grab one of his old vests or coats or plunge her head into an old hat that has been left behind too, and cry like tho big baby she is. At breakfast her coffee will taste salty like tears, and at din ner her soup will bo tasteless. If she sleeps at all for tho first few nights she dreams that she sees her beloved afar off. He is coming towards her with a smile of love on his face. 110 comes nearer and nearer. She stretches out her arms to embrace him. A dark cloud falls between. She calls, but ho ! does uot answer. She gropes around ! iu the darkness, but she cannot find him, and she wakes, sobbing, to find J herself sitting up iu bed with her arms outstretched and tho tears streaming dowu her face. Ah, is there a woman who loves much, who has uot dreamed such dreams when parted from her be loved? Careless Charlie or solemn Solomon promised to write from the first stop ping place. They forgot to do it of course, but the one who is left behind does not forget to look for tho letter. . She starts and trembles at every sound ' of the doorbell, and if it rings unusu ally sharp and quick she is sure it is the telegraph messenger bringing the news of a railroad or steamboat disas ter, iu which her beloved has been mashed as fiat as a flounder, or blowu sky high, it was not a telegraph mes senger. She thanks Cod for that. But it was not the expected letter either, and she plunges her hand into the old hat again for comfort. In what strange ways wo women comfort ourselves when parted from a beloved oue! 1 know a woman—a literary woman —who develops a sudden fondness for needle and thread and thimble when her husband leaves homo. She over hauls every article of his wardrobo and sews on buttons by the dozen and tape strings by tho yard. 1 half sus pect tho sly man takes a short trip from homo oueo or twico a your just to get his clothes mended. I know another wife who always mounts her husband's old slippers on a pedestal of some kind and says her j prayers to them night and morning I until he returns. 1 know a woman who has a vest belonging to her sailor lovo wiio lias gone on a long cruise. She keeps it hidden carefully away in ; the bottom of her trunk. 1 caught , her kissing uud crying over it one day I and I said: "Why did'ut you ask him i to leavo you a pair of his old boots?" She turned her eyes on tue with a glare I and answered: "Do you suppose his j heart was in his feet?'' "I hope not," I replied, "hut it cer tainly is not in the pocket of that old vest." "No," she answered, "but it used to cover his dear heart, and I'd rather have it for a keepsake than the dia mond locket Kate wears with her sweetheart's picture in it." "How tastes do differ!" I said to my self, thinking of the comfort Kate gets out of the locket hidden away in her bosom, and what comfort Mary finds in t:ie ring that her Harry left her to remember him by when ho went to New York on a business trip ten days ago, and how fondly Jennie treasures a pocket handkerchief that belongs to the man she loves. Ah, what fond and foolish creatures we women are.— New Orleans Pica yune. Lincoln's Advice. Tho following story, told by Mr. Herndon gives a good idea of Lincoln's way of practicing law. It is told by one who happened to bo in Lincoln's office and heard what passed. He says, writing to Mr. Herndon: "One morn ing not long before Liucoln's nomina tion I was in your office and heard the following: Mr. Lincoln, seated at the baize-covered table in the center of the office, listened attentively to a man who talked earnestly and in a low tone. After being thus engaged for some time Lincoln at length broke iu, and I shall never forget his reply. •Yes,' lie said,, 'wo can doubtless gain your case for you; we can set a whole neighborhood at loggerheads; wo can distress a widowed mother and her six fatherless children and thereby get for you SSOO to which you seem to have a legal claim, but wliich rightly belougs, it appears to me, as much to the woman and children as it does to you. You must remember that some things legally right are not always morally right. We shall not take your case, but will give you a little advice for which we will charge you nothing. You seem to be a sprightly, energetic man; we would advise you to try your j hand at making SSOO in some other : way.'" If this sort of thiug was dread | fully irregular and by no means calcu lated to enrich the firm of Lincoln & | Herndon, it furnished reminiscences, ; the dissemination of which enshrined tho senior partner iu tne hearts of the j people.— Boston Commercial. Blie Had tho "Buck Fever." This episode of deer-hunting in the Adirondacks is told by a correspond ent of the Philadelphia Press. A young man in camp on a small secluded lake was hunting the river that ran close by. As motionless as a statue in the front of the boat, with tho bull's-eye lantern throwing its light over his head, and his guide in tho stern pad dling without the slightest uoise—as is wholly necessary—tho young hun ter had his eyes fixed on the shores for the unwary but sensitive deer. Sud denly lie saw a ball of lire directly ahead of him. Ho raised his rifle uud was about to shoot, when his common sense reminded him that no animal could have such an eye as that. Hard ly had he lower his rifle when a sharp crack pierced the air, the lantern over his head came down upon him and he was left in darkness. His guide call ed out in language more eloquent than poetic to whoever had lirod that shot not to lire another. The next instant a boat ran up alongside of ti>e young man's and in tho bow of it he discov ered a fine-looking girl with a jacket buttoned up about her ears, a peak cap pulled down over her forehead, and rifle balanced across her knees. He laughed at the idea of her shooting tho lantern off his boat, but she was almost in hysterics. "I'm so sorry and ashamed," she said. "I never shot a deer and I sup pose I had tho buck fever and didn't know a lantern from the moon. Can you ever forgive me, sir?" Of course she was gracefully for -1 erivon. I 1 I "Oh, I'm living at the little hotel I down on Big Topper lake, and my I guide brought me up My j brother is going down the river, anil will meet 1110 at the curry after we have finished hunting." "I think I'll be dowu to the hotel to morrow," said tho young man. "But you wou't tell on mo, will you P" cried the girl. "That depends," replied the youth. Tho young man is now down "at tho hotel every day, for tho girl who came near killing him is the belle of the neighborhood, and they are holding prolonged dialogues about deer-hunt iug—or something else. Microbes in Cider. Dr. Olivier of Havre advises people to be careful iu drinking cider if they would avoid typhoid fever. French J cider is made, as a rule, with stagnant i water, the microbes in which do not perish during the fermentation. The fever germs thrivo upon the juice of the apple. In proof of this theory Dr. Olivier offers the fact that typhoid fever is more prevalent in Normandy, the groat cider-making district, than in any other part of France. The Historical Telephone.

CITIZENS of Baltimore have prepared ! a high license act, which they will urge before the Maryland legislature. I It follows in some respects Pennsvl vania's law, but has the one great vice ' that it makes a different law in other j counties from that provided in Bati-1 more. The weakest feature of the j proposed measure is that it does not require imprisonment of offenders against the liquor laws. A. tine is laughed at by illicit dealers, and they can nearly always escape other pun ishment if there is any discretion in the matter, because of their political influence. The license fee in Balti more is to be fixed at SIOOO. CONGRESSMAN BLAND of Missouri in troduced an amendment to the census appropriation bill appropriating $200,- 000 to enable the superintendent of the census to ascertain the number and amount of farm mortgages, etc. This was promptly voted down by our Republican congress. They dare not let the light shine upon the condition of affairs that the high tariff and un just taxation has brought about. This is about as was expected when the workingmen and farmers asked for that branch of the census to lie i considered. These same people will' eventually get their eyes open.

WASHINGTON, December 31, 1889. | The illness of Mr. Randall, which I keeps his seat vacant in the House, is a matter of regret to all his old colleagues in Congress and of deep concern to the Democratic party. However Randall, Carlisle and Mills might differ as strong political forces controlling the action of a majority party, at the head of the min ority they would stand side by side to defend what they conceived to be its rights. The absence of Mr. Randall takes probably the most powerful per sonality from the House. Without being a particularly scholarly man or a finished orator, Mr. Randall has been a most powerful figure in American politics of the period. Differing from a majority of his party 011 one subject that has been an issue of very recent years he has not been an acknowledged leader, yet dur ing the past three sessions that the lead ership has been elsewhere there have been times when the party have turned to him as the man best fitted to fight their battles on fiscal affairs. lie is not a smooth speaker, like Breckenridge or Carlisle. His voice rings like the sound of the woodman's axe echoing through the forrest. llis party need him, with all his strength of muscle and brain, this winter. There will be some wood to chop! Representative Grain's proposition—a survival from the Fiftieth Congress—to alter Inauguration Day and the Congres sional term is worthy of consideration. Whether it would be better to have, as proposed, a virtually continuous session, like the British parliament's, with a summer recess, or simply to lengthen the short term until April 30, is a ques tion which members may well deliberate over and divide upon. If the proposi tion to close one Congress and open the next on December 31 is adopted, the Christmas break in business will at least not occur in such relation to the opening of the session as to spoil for business so long a period of time. There ought to be general concurrence in the proposed change of Inauguration Day. On April 30 the weather is almost always fine in this latitude. The historic association of this day with the first inauguration of ; George Washington is also to be con sidered. j It will not do for the advocates of Civil Service Reform to close their eyes to the i fact that there is strong and constantly , increasing opposition to the law as it 1 stands at present on the statute books. . It is influential opposition, too, and not ! confined to those irresponsible spoilsmen i such as the adherents of the Chinese j system would have us believe. Men j like Ingalls, Farwell, and the other out | snoken antagonists of the law cannot be ! classed with the heelers and ward | workers whose howls are inspired by j personal reasons alone. Congressional j corridors will probably resound with • some very interesting music when the subject of Civil Service comes up in the! ! shape of an appropriation for its contin uance. | The agitation of the proposition to pro vide clerks for members of the House at ! government expense has begun again, 1 and it is expected that the measure will carry this session. The committee on accounts Saturday decided to make a ! | favorable report to the House upon a 1 bill for this purpose. The fact that the , 1 Senators have enjoyed, without protest I from the people, the privilege of clerks, though they have not really as much ! 1 work to do as have the Representatives, ! encourages the promoters of the propo sition to press the matter this session. 1 ! *** There is a growing sentiment in Con gress against the national banking sys tem which promises to materialize in legislation, and a bill is now being pro posed with the view of greatly curtailing I the powers of the national bank. The I influence at work is very powerful, and it is said the banks will find before this Congress is much older that they have to deal with the strongest legislative enemy they have ever encountered. The Congressional Directory is a record of idiosyncrasy. Some new members give every local honor ever conferred on them, while certain of the older ones merely mention the post office address and the number of the Congresses to which they have been elected, with an indication of their politics.
