one OF the theories OF this, Our republican
government. Is that there can be no imprison-
nent for debt. and though our legislation Is
intended 20 conform to this idea of liberty.
there Is probably not state In the Union In
which there are not persons confined In prison
because OF their On-payment OF liabilities
incurred in one shape or another. In the Lud-
low street jail, OF New York city, there IS one
debtor WHO has been confined five years. an
other three and half years. aid another for
fifteen months, upon the complaint OF their
creditors. In the face OF the spirit of the laws.
il seems 20 be comparatively easy for a creditor
TO send bis delinquent DEBTOR to prison, In cases
where the latter cannot furnish bail. All the
former has TO do Ia most OF the states Is to
make oatn that the party contracting the debt
was guilty Of some sort OF Misrepresentation as
TO his ability TO pay. Bat il can be said with
truth and Justice that, while the laws may. and
do in many cases. bear down hard upon the
debtor, it will not do, By any means, to deprive
the creditor class or their due proportion OF
legal protection. Yet the fact that one man In
this free country has been five years In fail for
debt, in the leading city OF the Union. is a
little startling.

Brooklyn alderman whose brilliant states
nlanship appears to have been hid under a
bushei hitherto has grasped that pulling prob
lem the Chinese question, and settled 1t as far
as the city OF churches Is concerned At least
he has settled it TO the extent that no heather
Chinee shall engage In his fayorite business of
'washee- washee" In Brooklyn. In reaching for
the Chinaman, however, the alderman put all
foreigners under the same prohibition His
ordnance provides that laundry licenses shall
be issued only 70 citizens of the United States
When the far reaching effect OF his ordinance
was pointed out this Brooklyn statesman COM
placently replied that he intended to press il
anyhow, as he did mot wish $50 0Os 900 of
Chinese to Overrun &C, 600, 900 OF American clti-
zens-" From this remark 1t would seem that
the board Of Brooklyn aldermen, In adopting
the ordinance In question, supposed they were
solving the Chinese question for the entire
country. IL Is not unlikely that the alderman
who originated the idea OF stopping Chinese
immigration by prohibiting all foreigners from
engaging In the laundry business may be sent
10 Congress next where he viii have more ex
tended lied for the display OF his statesman

For some years past the Canadian militia
have been trying, without avail, to obtain from
the Dominion government the improved Mar.
TIM rife In place OF the old-fashioned guns they
are now armed with. The government has
never appeared TO feel that it was In any dam
ger that It's militia could save 1t nom, as the
frequent appeals for better arms have been
ignored. Now the domestic warriors OF Canada
have C me forward with another appeal for the
improved rifles. and 1T is based upon the alleg 4.
ton that Canada is In danger Of another Fen an
Invasion from the United States. The militia
have. It appears, succeeded IN alarming a few
OF the border citizens, but the government Is
TOO well posted TO be frightened b. SUCH a
bugaboo. The Canada militia must, evidently.
continue to use their old.fashioned guns for
NhiIe longer.

The report that M4jor Twiatng has asked TO
be relieved from the duties OF Engineer Com
missioner for the District has called forth a
general expression OF Opinian that he Is the
right man for the place, and that he should be
retained In the position where he Is doing such
excellent service. The only men who would be
glad 10 see Major TwIning displaced are the

Conquering that determined savage, Sitting

quailed- Sitting Bull himself holds out vet. hut

just now it is the popular thing for
certain independent and quasi Republic

attribute the Maine result to his manage
ment and to distrust on the part of voters
toward him. No candid man can move

and find anything like want ofconlidenca

tor. Never We're his meetings so largely
attended as they have been during the
present campaign. At home he was in
greater demand than the most famous
speakers of other States. The mention
of his name in Il Republican meeting any
where in the State would elicit enthusiast

speeches have been devoted to practical
topics and have been moderate In

afternoon of one week he spoke in lIoul-

train he could not reach home till near

morning train for Augusta, where, after
taking his breakfast, he could be found
at eleven o'clock opening and answering
the hundred letters that had accumulated
during his three days absence, giving di-
rections and talking with those who called
to see him meanwhile. This is but a
sample Of the manner in which Mr.. Blaine
has been spending the last fifty days in
Maine. Republican journals which attr-

Seasonable Suggestions.

BUTTERED APPLES Peal dozen ap-
pies, first taking out the cores with a
tin scoop. Butter the bottom of a nappy
or tin dish thickly, then put the apples
into it. Fill up the cores with powdered
sugar. Sift powdered cinnamon or graf
ed lemon peels. Pour a little melted
butter over them, and bake twenty min
utes. Serve with cream sauce.
PIES Always bake pies on tin plates,
as they are thinner and bake better on
the bottom; and they do not have bad
taste after much use. Pies should be
trimmed with strips of paste. For apple
pies cooked fruit is best and should be
sweetened too sweet for the taste before
the final cooking. Heap the filling in the
centre, as it will naturally tend toward
the edge. No 1avoring is better than
nutmeg. In rolling top paste do not use
flour, and roll but two ways-from you
and to one side. Cut the top paste larger
than the pie plate and draw it into the
edge by raising it in the centre. Miss
NJ. Parloa.

left in the OF a clerk until called for The
purchaser walked out, and in a few minutes his
brother went into the store to make similar pur-
chases. The clerk politely informed HIM that he
were then in the store The second purchaser then
told him he guessed he mistaken, as he had
never been in the store before The clerk was as
tonished lie thought his man simply Joking
Io looked at him in amazement But the brother
was IN sober earnest and repeated that it was his
first visit to the store Seeing that it perfectly
useless to try to convince his customer that he
had been in the store before, the clerk dwlndled
into silence, and sold his man the very same cook
ing utensils Tho goods were delivered, and some
time after the second brothers exit the first
brother entered the store and asked for the goods
he had bought The clerk dumbfounded
Stepping from behind the counter and rolling up
his sleeves, he exclaimed: Stranger | have had

tired of it. You have made fun at me as long as
intend to put up with it and now you have got to
stop 1t. You think you are mighty smart, and if
you fool with me'-at this critical moment the
second brother stepped into the store, and seeing
how matters were, made hasty explanation,
when all three joined in a big laugh. Cuthbert
