Augero has commenced to ui' dvnamite in his Cuban insurrec t' n c:muai;rn. Another man has been cremated in the L -Moyne furnace. No doubt tii is is one of the burning questions of the age. Robert Bonner is said to be worth $ 7,000,000. You see what story-telling does for a man, now. Bonner continued his, and the gullable pub lic has paid him well. Useless S. Grant is about to break out as a presidential boomer. The Democrats can stand Grant as a Re publican presidential candidate if the Republicans cnn. A fellow up North, who entertain ed his mother and his wife's mother at the name time for a week, now declares that he is readv to take a contract from any circus manager as lion tamer. A New York paper says the hack r.ie.i of that city have become con science stricken and are making en d 1 ivors to win the confidence of the 1 ) iblic. The idea of a hackman hav ing a conscience Whisky is declining in price in Cincinnati. I here may ue some danger, on this account, of the pa triotic citizens of that town filling up and exciting another riot. We advise Johnny Sherman to keep his off eve on the burg. The people of the United States seem to realize that it is "more bless ed to give than to receive" so far as the Home for destitute and disabled Confederate soldiers is concerned. The call for help lias been more uni- vcy.vdly responded to than any oth er charity of the Nineteenth century If is said the Republican party in G-.-orgia is a unit for Arthur. As a m vtter of course. If Fred Douglas should happen to be accidentally el evated to the presidency the Repub lican party of Georgia would be just as s 'lid for him. The average Geor gia Republican can be counted on wry time to be in favor of '"the tint I.e." i i:c emancipation ui die slaves in Cub.', began in 1870, when all above the nge of iiftv-iive were freed. The V.-1 . emancipation act provided that sla ves from fifty to fifty-five should be liberated in September, 1SS0; those between forty-five and fifty in Sep tember, 1SS2; those between fortv and forty-five in September 1884 those between thirty-five and forty in September, 1880; those between thirty and thirty- five in September 1888, and those under thirty vears of age in 1890. There remain now less than 140,000 slaves on the is land., 1 he probability appears to be that the Queen of the Antilles ,with so large a negro population wil fall into the political condition o other of the West Indies whose peo pie are so largely African. An exchange says that "some o the western railroads with big grants of land to dispose of are sweeter than sugar to the emigrant." He is invited to take a trip over at hal fare, is furnished with lodgings am fire after he gets to his point of des tination, and if not invited to dine with the president of the railroac company it is an oversight, and a matter for which he can find severa excuses. We expect to see the day when the companies owning lands on which a gopher would starve to death in 60 days will start a man in a palace car, furnish him meals and music, and dime novels all the way to the Missouri river, and there have him met and driven around the country in a charriot drawn by four white horses. It is only 'after he has secured his land, that he will feel something drop, and discover that his farm, even at 4; an acre, won't begin to pay like a country grave yard at 25 cents per head for every funeral. WHERE SHALL THE LINE BE DUAAVX. The Philadelphia Times says that it is a favorite boast of the Fourth of Julv orators and the sprend-eagle political journals of the country that the United States stand with open arms, readv and anxious to furnish a home and a welcome to cverv- bodv that has no other place to go. A. great many foreigners have ac cented this invitation and have im- menselv bettered their worldl v con dition by running the politics, fur nishing the beer, building the rail ways, washing the shirts or pre- mpting the surnlus acres of Lncle Sam. There begins, however, to be a disposition to find fault in some quarters with this open-hearted generosity. The Chinese were ruled out first as inimical to the interests of the sand lots. The miners are now objecting to the Hungarians, the railroad laborers to the Italians, the General Government draws the line at the occupants of English workhouse and the Yankee factory girls are lifting up their voices in protest against the Canadians who think they can make money on less wages than the fair daughters of the Puritans have been in the habit of commanding. It is very- evident from these pro tests that the subject of foreign im migration to this country is destined to become one of the burning politi cal and social questions before long. But where shall the line be drawn? On what principle of justice or equity can Congress make flesh of the Englishman and German and four of the Hungarian and Italian? Probably the question of justice will not be considered by those who make the demand, however. That is a mere abstraction, to which th devote no time or thought. They simply see their wages threatened by those who are willing to work for less money, and the fact that they themselves are many of them foreigners, who came to this coun try to better their condition, will not deter them from trying to slam American doors in the face of other foreigners. Congress is going to have a very troublesome question on its hands one of these days, in which, decide yvhichever way it will, it is sure to create dissatisfaction. Dctermitied on Pi-olt ctioii. Burlington Hawkeye. Ethel was going down to Boston to spend the month of April and enjoy the embracing, life-giving-nine-of-tarry east winds with Aunt Priscilla Beenepawt. Her father looked over her shoulder as she packed her trunk and gasped for breath as he gazed upon a bottle of poison, a sand-bag, a bowie-knife, two revolvers, a black-jack, a sling-shot and a glass bomb. "Great heavens, my daughter?'' he shrieked as he fell to the floor with a clear, ringing thud. "Have you joined the skirmishing fund? Do you expect to use that Lucretia Borgia arsenal in Bos ton?"' "Nts, papa," said Ethel sweetly, "I will throw them all away on reaching Boston, but I have to travel through Connecticut alone, and if there should be any inquest held upon a mysterious murder after my limited ticket is taken up I do not pro pose to be present at the inquest myself." "Bless you, my child," sobbed Ethel's papa, "yctu are right. It is time some body beside women should be occasion ally killed in the land of steady habits." Each Hair of lielford's Head a Poem. From the Chicago News. Congressman Belford has suddenly de veloped into a great soeial belle at Wash ington. Young ladies from every part of the Republic are besieging him for strands of his beautiful red hair for their crazy-quilts. One fair female from the sunny South has completed a lovely quilt, the centre piece of which is a most unique design composed entirely of hair from the Colorado Congressman's head and beard. It represents a big, juicy strawberry on a terra-cotta colored plaque. Senator Hoar's Reformation. Boston Globe (Dem.). So long as he could have the sectional discussion all his own way, Senator Hoar was very ready with his sneers at the South; but, having found more than his match in that line, he is suddenly in spired with the loftiest contempt for sec tionalism. Senator Vance assisted him in catching up with the procession of public sentiment, and for the credit of the old Bay State he ought to try to stay within hailing distance.

THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES, 1884, The Times will enter upon the new yer stronger and more prosperous than ever le fore in its history more widely read and quoted, more heartily commended, and more fiercely criticized, with a more complete or ganization, and an aide ssoff of contributors and with the same independence and fearless ness that has made it successful and powerful in the past. The Times has no party to follow, no candi dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as it has ever done, with consistent devotion to the right, to honest government, and the pub lic welfare. And, while maintaining its posi tion as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it will aim to be continually in the advanca in all that can add value to a newspaper. The value of a newpajer is not in its size or display, but in the intelligence and care, the conciseness and freshness with which it is edited. The Times spends lavishly for news from all parts of the world, but all its dis patches are carefully edited and condensed, in order to give the complete news of the day in the most concise and attractive shape, and with it a large variety of entertaining and instruc tive reading. The best writers at home and abroad are employed to enrich its columns, and to make it a journal adapted both to the busy man and to the leisure of the home cir cle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest citizens of every political, religious and social taste. The Weekly Times is altogether different from the weekly newspapers of twenty years atro. The day of those papers have gone by. The telegraph and better local newspapers everywhere, especially in the thriving centres of rural population, have made the old weekly metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those that cling to their ancient usages hare lost their hold on our forward-moving people; they are but shadows of their former greatness, and thev have but a shadow of their former power. Those papers have had their usefulness, but it is gone: and, with it, they are going, too. It was not the fault of the papers: it was the im provement of the country that brought about the chanire. Men and women, wherever they live, now require fresher news; and they re quire more than news. The AVeekly Times gathers off the types of every passing week whatever has lasting in terest to the people at large, and sets it before them in such generosity of paper and print as would have astonished us all twenty yeorsago. DAILY Twelve cents a week, nfty cents a month. 5i5 a year, two cents a copv. SEN DA V Four cents a copy, 2 a year. AVEEKLY One copy, $2 a year ; five copies, $3 a year ; ten copies, $15 a year ; twenty cop ies 525 a year, with one copy free to the jretter up of every club. THE TIMES, Philadelphia.
