The Po,yernli journal Business.
Dayton (OhiO) Journal

The syndicate Of big newspapers which work
together with mutual understanding to force
certain results have but few reasons for mu-
tual cOngratulation. The country. or "rural
rooster press, united with that of the less
populous cities appear to have more potent
influence than the metropolitans enjoy. The
free trade raid for instance led OFF by the New
York Times in the east and seconded by Joe
Mcdill, of the Chicago Tribune, has been un-
fortunate for those powerful journals" The
p. j, business is not as potent as 1t was. No
wonder they are casting about for an expedi-
ont to restore their lost prestige. But It's
.vain. The country is too big to manage.

PUT MONEY IN THY PURSE.

"No, don't want the governorship," said
leading Ohio congressman this week.
"There is not enough money in it, Thirty

the thank you business in politics. and am
now inclined to take lagos advice and put
money in my purse. The glory of fame is an
empty thing, and / would rather leave my

What would Mrs, Garfield have to-day had
she not been favored by peculiar circum-

! tell you the world is forgetting him already,
and the funds for his monuments are growing
very slowly. The day after he was dead |

statue in his honor in my native city, to-day
/ could not raise $1,000. 1t is so with tho
glory of fame Tho great man died; the
world stops second, and then rushes madly
on In short time he is forgotten. and
often, if he died poor, the people say, Yes,
he was great man, but he never laid up any
thing, He worked all his lie and left his
family poor And soon the praise at the time
of his death is turned into blame, and some
times into calumny,
"Name and fame Bah They are empty
words, and he who seeks them poor, wrongs
his family and himself. In these pursey
times money is everything, and 1t contami-
mates the halls OF the capitol itself. | hope

Gen. Bridgeland for eight years consul at
Havre, is pronounced in favor of the adopt
ton of measures by the United States to pay
Germany and France in. their own coin for
prohibiting the importation of American
meats. France prohibits the importa-
tion of not less than 200 articles of
American production and manufacture" says
the general, "and IL would put an embargo
ON wheat and corn If it could do so. 1t pro-
tccts French millers by tax on American
-four, and it keeps everything out of the homo
market that the French people can produce
a policy of protection which has made France
the richest country in the world. America is
Indispensable to France, while VIC can get along
without doing dollars worth OF business
with the French. This government ought,
therefore, to assert her commercial independ-
ence and adopt measures which will compel
fair treatment"

In talking about Senator.elect Colquitt, of
Georgia, with a gentleman from the south,
the conversation naturally drifted to southern
railways and southern prospects generally,
and ho said to tho Avenue man, "The
south Is entering upon an era Of railway
building and development which will
completely revolutioniza that section in an
other ten years. Within the past two or
three years an immense amount Of northern
capital has beon quietly put into the mineral
districts of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and
North Carolina, the timber tracts of Aiisss-
sippi, Virginia, and other southern
states, and in cotton fields, and Ifow
northern energy, assisted by the best intelli-
gence of the south, is at work developing the
property. There is no politics in this sort of
thing. 1t is all business. Senator Colquitt
and ex-senator Gordon are at tho head
of one of tho biggest mineral land
combinations yet formed, which will
either make the Virginia Midland
rs rich as the Baltimore and Ohio or Pennsyl-
vania roads or break 1t. Senator Brown has
millions in sight, and Senator Plumb has
lately made large investments in Alabama
iron lands, New York and Boston arc be-
coming heavily interested in the same kind
of property, and foreign capital is turning
that way. You will live to see Pennsylvania
and Ohio thrown into the shade by Georgia

Small Talk About Men and Measures.

small Talk ABOUT Nicn ana Measures,
Tho election of Senator Edmunds to the
presidency of tho senate will give tho COM
mittees an additional shake up. II will ne
cessitate his retirement from the chairman
ship Of the judiciary committee which will
fall to Senator Logan As the latter is chair
man Of the committee on military ailhrs, he
will have to surrender that to the next in or
der, Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania.
Senator Cameron is already chairman Of the
committee on naval affairs, aud it is quite pos
sibe he may wish to retain that committee,
a decision which will give Senator Harrison
the committee on military affairs, instead OF
the committee on territories, which would
have fallen to him in the regular order had
not Senator Edmunds's advancement created
an unlocked for disturbance in conditions.
Senator Miller will inherit the Craftsmanship
of the committee on foreign relations, the
fates having removed Senators Window and
Edmunds from the list above him. The other
chairmanships will be about us stated in this
paper some days ago.

II is taken for granted in many quarters
that Mr.. A. U. Wyman assistant treasurer of
tho United States, will succeed to tho Office
which will be made vacant on the first Of
April by the retirement of Treasurer James
Gilfllan. Mr.. WymGn was made treasurer
upon tho resignation of Mr.. John G. New in
1876, but his hoalth broke down and ho was
obliged to give up tho Office, aud Mr.. Gillllan
became treasurer Upon his recovery Mr.
Wyman was made assistant treasurer, and his
friends confidently anticipate his second pro-
motion. He was appointed originally from
Nebraska. LIo is Canadian by birth.

There is great waste among con-
sumers in the use of tea. They put in
too much of the leaf and boil instead
of sleeping it. The fine qualities of a
tea are brought out by the simple pro-
cess of putting boiling water on just
enough tea for one cup. In all tea-sets
there is hot-water urn, after the En-
glish method. A pinch of the leaf
which weighs about one and half scru-
Piles, or what silver 5-cent piece
weighs, is sufficient for one cup. On
this boiling hot water should be poured
and little covers put over the cups for
few moments to allow for stepping.
This saves the pungent flavor which
the water absorbs. A little sugar and
trife of milk being added the beauty
of the tea Is soon perceived. Euro
peans drink tea in this fashion. The
Chinaman never pats milk and sugar i'll
his tea. The Russian follows this lat
ter fashion, but adds lemon.
There is more tea used in America
than in any other country in the world,
and for this reason the consumer
should be all the more careful in pur-
chasing the herb. There is no drink
that is finer than "the cup that cheers
but does no inebriate" when the mate
rial used is honest. Inter Ocean.

WEAKNESS OF Lecturing.

Theodore Tilton, just before he
sailed for Europe, confessed TO an I'M
speakable WEAKNESS of lecturing The
distances are so great, the difficulty of
making connections so as to fill engage
ments are so numerous and provoking
there are such terrible exposures to
storms and foods, the fare in most
places is so poor, and all ones civilized
habits are so broken up in a winter that
he looked forward to q seasons work
with positive dread. "Yet here l am,
after going through the floods of last
winter and being held a prisoner for
days, in the best of health, and going
abroad to get materials for next win
ter's lectures. l want to write, but am
obliged to talk. feel that / was made
for authorship, yet fate is determined
to get oratory out of me. But the peo-
pie are infinitely kind. and every year
L am more than ever amazed with the
growth of the country and It's increas-

to lecture in Kansas town last winter

The StrasbOurg Clock.

The great wonder of the Strasbourg
Cathedral to the average mind, ignor-
ant of architecture, and comparatively
insensible to architectural beauty, is the
famous astronomical clock.
This is unequalled i'll its way; per-
forms more, and more wonderful tricks
than any other of the performing clocks.
1t is marvellous what an interest there
is in this sort of thing to many people.
Three distinguished mathematicians
worked on this clock in the sixteenth
century, and it went for two centuries
and more.
Then it fell into disorder, and nothing
was heard from it for hundred years.
Forty years ago the town of Strasbourg
resolved to set it going again, and
another distinguished mechanician
spent four whole years in perfecting it's
works.

seem hardly worth the time and trouble

How to Dress.

Garments should veil the human
form and neither caricature it nor oblit-
crate its lines; the body should he
draped, and neither sewn mp ia a sack
nor stuck in the middle of box I;
drapery, properly managed, is not u
dead thing, but a living one, expressive
of the endless beauty.of motion; and if
this be lost half the pleasure of the
eyes in common life is lost You must
especially bear this in mind, because
the fashionable milliner has only one
end in view-how to hide and degrade
the human body in the most expensive
manner. She Cor he) would see no
beauty in the Venus of Milo; she Cor
he) looks upon You as scaffold on
which to hang bundle of cheap rags
which can be sold dear under the name
