Republican Managers Scared over
the Situation In Those states.
Washington Letter In New York Sul.l
The news from Wisconsin is very gloomy
Tor the Republicans Appeals for money
are already beginning TO bo received from
The state, coupled with the assertion that
Inless substantial canvassing OF that sort is
lone at once in Wisconsin the state is lost
Wisconsin gavo a Democratic plurality Of
1900 in 1882, and while Garfield carried 10
by 30, 900 in 1850. Hayes received only 60OD
in 1857. The same combination that threat
ems the Republicans in Kansas and Illinois
Is still more dangerously threatening in
Wisconsin. The German vote is reported to.
be almost soliily anti Republican, and the
Prohibitionists claim 20,OCO votes. The Ger
man press of the state is Lostile to Blaine,
anil the reports received at Democratic
headquarters here are that tho republican
ticket will be in a minority of ten thousand
votes unless the situation changes between
this and November. No news has been re-
ceived by the Republican managers that
warrants them in making any very ener-
| geti denial of this claim. What strength
Bus er will get in the state will, it is thought,
| havs no effect ON the result there, because
he will probably poll proportionately
smaller vote there than in some Of the other
northwestern states.
| Michigan is going to bear very close
watching. Its $4,000 Republican plurality
in 1880 was altered to 5000 Democratic
plurality in 1882. The tidal wave swept
over the state with greater force than any
where else excepting New York. The same
causes of discomfort that effected this great
change still exist 1t is reported. too, that
there are many Republicans. especially
| n the upper peninsula, who have declared
their inability to support Blaine, and,
while there has been no effort to organize
this element, some pains have been taken to

large mining towns of Negaunee, Ispeming,

an epidemic almost 1t is not confined to
those who work for weekly wages, but the
capitalists there many of them openly an

political life, and because they fear that he
| will cut up some dido in the White House
that will imperil business interests One
manufacturer near Hancock, who employs
some five hundred men, said that. though
naturally Republican, he believed >that
seventy-tive per cent of them would not
vote the Republican ticket, and that he
should not do so himself. Ibis personal and
unorganized opposition to Blaine ON account
of his record is more striking in Michigan
than in many other states, because it is more
aggressive. The Prohibitionists expect tO
poll 90 900 votes in Michigan.

geon. We should think Of this when
arranging stables and pens for ou,
animals. Horses have lost their sight
by having been kept in dark stables
from which they have been brought out
suddenly into the glsring sunlight, per.
haps to the snow, which hos reflected it
with binding force. Ny COW stable

cisely how much more butter this sun
shine makes, but as my winter dairy
has averaged me 10 pounds per week
per COW for some years past, give
some of the credit to the bright, sunny
stable and the contentment Of the cows.
There Is no other animal that so de-

New York Tribunc-This standing
question we answer again for the fiftieth
time. Starch the bosoms after they
pass the rinse water in starch made
thus: Dissolve starch in cold water,
and pour boiling water on the solution,
stirring all the time, till it is of the con-
sistency of molasses and perfectly clear
and smooth. Add q little white soap
dissolved in water and little butter.
Boil two or three minutes. Wiring
the Bosoms from the hot starch and
dry. Then wiring them from thin cold
starch or starch dissolved in cold water
"a tablespoonful of starch to quart of
water), with half teaspoonful of pow
dered borax added to 1t. Roll tightly
and put away for two or three hours or
over night. Then iron in the usual way.
Then lay the bosom on plain board
with one thickness of muslin over it,
pass damp cloth over the bosom, and
polish with polishing iron, which may
be bought at any hardware store for
81. Try on an old shirt-bosom first.
Experience will soon teach what points
are to be guarded. Have clean linen
cloth and bowl of clean water ut hand
to romovo any possible smooch from the
linen. A bit of beeswax inside o folded Leaf
ofpaper is good to give smooth surface
to the iron.
