Having made inquiries about Mr..

for a e house, and fortunately found
one, this time, you may be sure, " a de-

If the poor woman shivers in
Winter beneath thin shawl of do
mestic manufacture containing an
admixture Of cotton, it is because a
better and cheaper shawl is excluded
from the American market by q pro-
hibitory tax. By q cunning arti6ce
in fixing specific and ad valorem
duties the shawls of lowest quality
worn by the poor, pay q rate of 81
per cent, and the shawls of better
quality pay only So per cent. As a
result the finer shawls aIe imported
in considerable quantities, and as
the coarser shawls are excluded
American working people must use
the domestic articles and pay The
tax to the home manufacturers. In
the one case some revenue goes into
the Treasury from the duty on
shawls; in the other the Treasury
gets no revenue, but the consumer
of the domestic shawl pays more
tax.

The Globe Democrat thinks it is
very happy on comparisons. of
which the following is the last and
most odious: THE New York doc
tors are discussing the question Of
the duty of their profession in cases
where birth is given to monstrosi-
ties. Some contend that the physi-
clan should let the creature die,
while others claim that the matter
should be left entirely to the family.
1t is q curious coincidence that the
Democrats are face to face with
precisely the fame kind of dilem-
ma concerning that curious, mis-
shapen thing called civil service re-
form. Most of them want it killed
and put away out Of sight at once,
but Mr.. Cleveland, acting as doctor,
insists upon trying to keep it alive
as long as possible, for professional
reasons"

Col. Bee, the Chinese Consul at
San Francisco, has completed the
compilation of statistics showing
the number of arrivals and depart
ures of Chinese from what port
since the restriction act went into
force, May 9Th, 1882. The arrivals
aggregate about 1900 and the de-
partures about $4,000. OF course
this does not include the thousands
who have stolen into the United
States across the border without cera
ti6cates.

A Boston Opinion.

Some of the eastern papers ex-
press good sense and show some
sympathy for the people of the Pa
ci6c Coast upon the Chinese ques-
ton. The Boston Globe takes this
view of it.:
"Now it makes no difference
whether a Chinaman is as good as
Caucasian or not. The same God
who cares for a white man, no
doubt, looks out for the American
Indian; and yet the red men are
gradually becoming e1terminated
because they will not adopt our
ways of living. If an Indian wants
to 60 naked, paint his body with
ochre aud hunt wild beasts he has q
legal right to do 80, if he does not
interfere with a more advanced
system of civilization. When he
does he must yield. The same rule
applies to the Chinese. If q China
man wishes to feed on rats and
practice the most revolving vices be
must stay in China. When he
comes to America he must act like
an American. Of the ffty.fve mil
lion inhabi'a ants of the United States
moro than fifty m,.lions believe in
conforming to the usuages Of So
ciety, and these people are bound to
rule the other five millions. The
Chinaman's habits and vices, and not
the Cinnamon themselves, are oh.
jsctionabls 10 The average citizen"

The Portland Standard sneers at
this paper because it dared to ex-
press hope that Federal appoint.
ments for this Territory would be
made before the present incumbents
we're enabled to give new tenure
of Office to Republicans for the vari-
GUS Territorial positions. We have
yet to find q sincere Democrat or an
honest Republican who takes excep-
ton to those comments, and why
the Standard, claiming to be Demo.
cratic should do SO, puzzles every
who has given it any thought. If
that paper intends to excel the Mug
waumps in its dislike for Democrats,
and to advocate the interests of the
machine hold.over offensive partisan
Republicans now in Office, it had
better haul down the Democratic
flag. Its coulse is not approved by
the tried friends of the party.

Was He an Offensive Partisan

Before President Lincoln had
been in Office Elk weeks the victors
had all the spoils worth taking. Not
q Democratic Postmaster with q
salary of more than $400 WAS any.
where to be found, and from that
day until the 4th of March last, Dem.
ocrats have not been permitted to
hold an appointive Federal Office.
There seemed nothing extraordinary
or out Of course in the prediction
that in the event of Democratic sue
cess there would be what was called
q clean sweep.
The new Administration has been
in operation six months, and there
has been no clean sweep-there has
been no sweep at all. In the
1928 Presidential post Offices there
have been but 4S7 changes. and .
large percentage Of these were ap-
pointments made to fill vacancies
created by death, resignation or ex-
piration of term. There are 48, ,42l
post Offices of the fourth class, that
is, Offices to which the masters are
appointed, not by and with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate upon
the nomination of the President, but
by the Post Office Department. In
these there have been but 6,400
changes, many OF these appoint
ments being made to fill vacancies
arising from ord mary causes.

LUCK IN LHE.-Thirteen boys set
out one night to commit despreda-
ton on q melon patch. In u man
ner we'll known to farmers, but not
known to the boys, the patch was
planted with alter nate rows Of pump
kins. The night was dark, the
work was silent, and as each boy &C.
cured his prize he stole silently
away to the rendezvous. When oil
were assembled it became known to
the party that twelve boys had
stolen pumpkins and one boy had .
watermelon. That's the story Of
luck in life. One fellow has q
watsrmelon-most Of tho other fol-
lows have pumpkins.

At the Ironing Table.

As in washing. everything should
be ready and in proper order before
the days work is begun. The irons
should be scrupulously clean and
smooth; this can be done by rub
bing them with beeswax and salt or
powdered bathbrick. The heaviest
irons accomplish the best work, and
should be used with rolling mo-
ton and a strong pressure. Mus
Inns and prints do not require very
hot irons. but stiff white garments
need hotter ones. The ironing table
and board should be firm and strong
and covered with q coarse woolen
blanket, over which q clean coarse
sheet should be pinned. A bosom
board about eight inches wide, and
a long board for skirts and dresses,
are q necessity to the laundry.
Iron holders should be padded to
protect the hand from burning.
Collars, cuffs and similar articles
should be covered with clean,
thin cloth, and the iron passed d.
rectly over the article. Fine, soft
laces and muslins that do not re-
quire polishing should be carefully
unrolied. one at time, and spread
on soft blanket, covered with a
thin soft sheet. Laces embroide.
ries and trimming must be carefully
pulled into shape, with all the
edges and purling picked out; those
needing ironing carefully smoothed,
and those that do not folded.
Always iron by the thread of the
material. Embroidery should be
ironed on the wrong side on q soft
blanket.
In ironing shirts use heavy irons
we'll heated. First iron the thick
bands, then the bodies and sleeves,
and last the bosom, which should
be rubbed over with o clean cloth
wrupg out Cf warm water. Then
the iron should he passed over rap
idly, then rubbed with a damp cloth
and ironed until it is polished. To
gloss the linen . polishing iron,
With smooth, round edge should be
used with all possible force. The
tnickest parts Of dresses, such as
the Wristbands, the gathers and
sleeves, should be ironed first.
Dresses should always be ironed on
the wrong side first and finished on
the right. Fine muslins look much
better if they are ironed twice in op-
posite directions. Caps, fchus and
aprons. where the lace is full, should
have the frill ironed first. In plat.
ing frills, each plait should be laid
by the thread and held until ironed
in place.
While ironing is difficult work 10
accomplish nicely. any housekeeper
who will take the trouble to give
personal supervision to the work
will soon teach even an Indifferent
servant to do it properly. A will
ing hand, guided by a kind and in
telligent instructor, will soon over
come all obstacles and make the
work easy.

1t is reported that . delegation Of
women from the Seattle Methodist
Church visited the opium dens a few
days ago and told the blear-eyed
Chinese occupants that they need
not obey the request of the white Ia
borers unless they wanted to 60. and
if they would stay the church would
protect them. 1t is a pity that Fan
aticism should so often 60 hand in
hand with Religion. Tho effort Of
humanity to lead pure lives and
maintain hope OF happiness beyond
the grave, is commendable; but when
il enters the political arena, and un.
der the cloak of sanctity seeks to ar.
bitrate questions which require pa.
tient study to grasp. prudence to
decide and moderation to control, it
is divested of all that entities it to
respect. The present exigency do.
mands knowledge more than zeal,
patriotism instead Of faith, and 0
philanthropy that recognizes oil the
conditions which characteristics
impose. When creeds are brought
into the the gladiatorial field they
must not expect immunity from at.
tack. They must doff their steel
clad armor, or discover when at CON-
fict that all lances are directed at
its weak points. When one OF these
is struck, it's wearer is disabled and
crushed by the very means adopted
for self-preservation. If the church
incites the Chinese to conflict and
promises to protect them, it must
mean that the parsons, the descons.
and the elders are arming for the
fray, and as women were the embas-
sadors on the late diplomatic mission,
it is anticipated that an Amazonian
army awfully arrayed will confront
the Knights of Labor next month at
Seattle.

Chinese Exclude Women.

The employment OF Chinese labor
retards the growth of the country for
the reason that it usurps positions
that would afford employment to tens
of thousands of women OF the East
who would otherwise coms to this
slope and in course of time become
married women and the mothers OF
free American citizens. The East
has a redundant female population.
On this slope the converse is the
case. Labor, whether male or fe-
male, will 60 where there is n de-
mand for it as naturally as water
will run down hill. If the wage
seekers have not have the necessary
means to pay for transportation
while such demands exists. capital
will surely furnish it. California.
Nevada, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, need cooks, chambermaids,
laundresses, table Writers, etc.
These would have come from New
England, New York and other East
ern States in large numbers to sup
ply such demand, but the coolie
came, and all avenues for female EN-
ployment was cut off. Thus each
Chinaman represented what might
have been an American home.
If there had been no importation
of Chinese the male and female pop
ulation of the East and West would
have become more equalized, with
the most conceivable benefit to both
sections and the general welfare Of
the whole country. Western men
would have had wives and homes.
There would have been less dissira-
ton and swagger, and the rough
edges of our people would have
been pretty we'll knocked off. In
Idaho. for instance, there are about
four men to one woman, and the
same may be said OF Nevada and
Washington. In Massachusetts, the
women are more than 10 900 in ex-
cess of the male population. This
state of affairs is demoralizing to
both sexes and sections.
There are comparatively few Chi
nese women in the country. They
rear but few children, and tho fower
the better for our civilization. Near
ly if not all of them arc harlots,
aud their presence is demoralizing to
our people, especially the young.
To what degree of prosperity this
slope would have attained were il
not for the advent of this class Of
people can only be surinised.
