SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.

One of the uppermost subjects of
discussion just now in religious jour
GALS and the leading daily papers is the
Sunday newspaper. 1t is charged that
the Sunday papers draw multitudes
from the churches of that class who
would attend church were it not for
the attractive reading furnished by the
Sunday papers. The facts alledged are
admitted, and the question presented
is, what can be done about it? Sever
al of the Chicago daily papers have dis
cussed the situation, and of course seek
to justify the Sunday paper. A new
York paper, the Star, has collected the
opinions of nearly fifty ministers of
different denominations in respect to
Sunday papers. The opinions gather.
ed are various. 1t appears to be the
sentiment of the majority of the min.
listers that the Sunday papers have
come to stay. To stop the issuance of
Sunday papers by legal enactments in
the present state of public sentiment
would be impossible. These papers
have taken too strong hold ON the
people to be legislated away. Differ
ent methods have been suggested for
dealing with the question, and there is
really but one that seems practicable.
Sunday papers should be more careful
of the matter they print for Sun day
reading. AS it now is, these papers
make no discrimination between Sun.
day and weekday reading. Some of
the most denoralizing stories are SEEM
ingly laid over for the Sunday paper.
It is for that reason the Sunday papers
are so much sought for by boys and
young men of the dissolute sort. The
objection to Sunday papers would be
much lessened if the character of the
articles published were free from the
disgusting details Of crime and vulgar
pictures of life. Prominent daily
newspapers could be named which on
Monday publish sermons preached on
the preceding Sunday, and in the same
sheet or the next following give the
full particulars of desperate prize
fight between characterless pugilists.
So it is sought ON the one side to please
pious readers. and on the other to adj
minister to depraved tastes.

Morrison's tariff bill, which should
be entitled, "a bill to facilitate free
trade" is sure to be antagonized by Re-
publicans generally in Congress and
is by no means certain of securing a
full Democratic vote. The most mis-
chievous legislation for the past few
years attempted in Congress, is in re-
lation to the tariff; no kind of legisla-
tion does more to unsettle business,
especially manufacturing industries.
Men of capital will not make invest
ments in manufacturing enterprises
where the prices in market are liable
to be disturbed by the uncertain con-
tingencies of changed tariff. The
profit or loss of many kinds of bust
ness cannot be calculated while the tar.
if is in a state of suspense. Every
year of late a few tinkerers in Con-
gress, acting in the interest of some
manufacturing scheme, or for personal
notoriety, have proposed to readjust
the duties on some article of COM
merce, and thereby unsettle trade in
some department. The tariff modifca-
tions now sought to be secured in Con-
gress are not in the line Of protecting
and encouraging home industries. but
the opening Of ourproductiye and manu-
featuring interests to the competition
Of the cheap labor Of European coun-
tries. If Congress could only be in
duced to let well enough alone it
would be vastly better for the coun-
try.

A GEORGIA woMAN's COFFEE.

An Atlanta lady who is an excellent
housekeeper, and whose coffee has been
praised time over time, gives the fol-
lowing as the rules and regulations for
making that delightful beverage: cit
is an easy matter to have good coffee.
In the first place, the coffee must be
kept in an air-tight canister, and must
be of good quality, and he ground as is
needed. The coffee-pot must be kept
scrupulously neat, and must be kept in
the sunshine whenever there is any
sunshine. The tea-kettle in which the
water is boiled must also be kept clean,
and fresh water must be used for
making the coffee. The amount of
coffee used must be bounteous, else the
product will lave limp taste and will
fail to give satisfaction. If a good
supply of crisp, freshly ground coffee
is put into a clean pot and fresh boil
ing water is poured on and the coffee
is allowed to boil while good coffee
is the result. At our home we make
coffee extra strong, use about third
of cup Of good fresh milk with the
cream on it, and it is delightful. II is
far different from much of the alleged
coffee that combination of stinginess
and carelessness forces helpless people

Preparations for several weeks have

Preparations for several weeks have
been making for great musical Sanger
fest in Milwaukee. Thirty-two Musical
societies from different parts of the
Union have promised to be present !;
the whole number of singers expected
to participate is estimated from 1900
to 2,400. 1t is calculated that $4,000
will be required to pay the expenses Of
these vOcalists while in the city. As
for the general expenses of the great
gathering, it is expected that fund of
$4,000 to 100000 will be raised. If
carried out on the scale contemplated,
it will be the most grand entertain
ment Of the kind ever witnessed in the
west.

squarely made. The Senate ask for

to appoint. There can be no legally

the class in question without the joint
action Of both President and Senate.
Senator Edmunds declares it is the

SIGNAL SERVICE REPORTS FOR
FARMERS.

Oflate years more and more impor.
lance is becoming attached to signal
service reports. Prognosticating the
weather for day or two in advance
was once regarded as only occasionally
reliable,but now foretelling the weather
is so accurate that signal service sta
tions are held by the government in
dispensable at all ports on navigable
waters. The Signal Service at Bureau
Washington is now taking preliminary
steps to furnish The country with signal
service facilities, so as to make them.
available for the benefit of farmers.
For this purpose a meeting of the
chiefs of the weather observers and
members of meteorological societies
has been called to meet in Washington
Feb. oath and 25th, for general consul
tati0n of the best method for establish
ing signal stations throughout the we'll
settled portions of the country. The
cost of supplying the agricultural dis
tricts with signal stations would not
be as large as many might suppose, and
they would in all probability prove
greater saving to farmers than the
cost. What plan the government pro-
pose to adopt to meet the expense is
not stated. So far as the cost of keep
ing up the signal stations now in. use,
the expense is comparatively small.
The circular sent out from Washing
ton speaks of the great Improvements
of which the present service is capable ;;
the whole theory of forecasting the
weather is as yet far from being what
it will be when by the aids of science
and experience it shall be better per
fected. 1t will be of special value to
farmers by enabling them to take ad-
vantage of the weather to secure their
crops when storms are impending
which they know not Of. It would be
well to know when those nnwelcome
visitors. the polar waves, may be ex-
pected, and when unusual atmospheric
changes may be looked for. 1t cannot
be expected that those projected i'm.
proyements viii be the work Of day;
it may, as all other great improve
ments, require years to perfect it. But
it is sure to come. There are no i'm
possibilities attending it's accomplish
ment.
