GROWING IN STRENGTH.
Leading Republicans Indorse the Presi-
GenI's Tariff Sentiments

| GenC's Tariff Sentiments
indications abound that the Presi-
dents recommendation in his message
at the opening of the Congressional
session are meeting with approval in
the highest quarters in the opposition.
Among others of the party Senator
Allison, of Iowa, who has been taking
vacation among his constituents.
has discovered that Mr.. Blaine's idea
for the disposal of the surplus is, to
put it mildly, grave political mistake.
| Indeed, the Iowa Senator is so con-
! firmed in this view that he informs the
| inevitable interviewer that the Blaine
surplus platform will never be accept
ed by Western Republicans.
On the contrary-and bear in mind
that Senator Allison is Il possible oppo-
sition Presidential candidate-he is
free to say that great necessity ex-
lists for revision of the tariff; that
Congress will perforce be compelled to
act in that direction, and that the party
which fails to do its proper share in the
reduction of tariff taxes viii be certain
to forfeit popular favor.

Nor is Senator Allison the only
prominent opposition leader who puts
himself on record against the theory
of taxing necessities while letting
deleterious luxuries 90 free. If Sena-
tor Allison's position is rather one of
opposition by implication, on the
other hand Senator Aldrich's (of
Rhode IsianO position is one OF direct
opposition. In an address to the
Providence Board of Trade few days
ago he makes a powerful argument
against the message from the French
capital. He says that AL parties are
agreed that the revenue must be re-
duced, and adds: There is q gem

This is 4 direct whacll at the Maine
statesman's plan of dividing Il big sur
plus revenue among the States for the
direct benefit of class. But to make
its application more emphatically per-
sonal, Senator Aldrich adds: ..None of
the propositions TO collect a revenue

The Monument to Hendricks.

The Hon. r. G. J. Pendleton, of Indian
apolis, is visiting Atlanta in the interest of
| the Hendricks Memorial Association. His
| purpose is to augment the fund now in the
hands of the monument ASSOCIATION, so that
there will be enough money 10 ensure the
completion of the monument IN accordance
with the original design.
The project to build an appropriate mon
ument to the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks
was started in Washington city soon after
his death 1t was the purpose of the pro-
jectors to secure an appropriation from
Congress. A bill was introduced by a
member of the House from Illinois, but, at
the instance of the dead statesman's friends,
it was Withdrawn, for they thought it
would be much better to raise the,m money
from voluntary subscriptions. The idea
was to give the people of every State and
Territory an opportunity to contribute their
quota Consequently the citizens Of every
part of the Union have come forward and
made generous contributions. The books
OF the treasuser show the names Of givers
in every State and Territory. Mr. Pendle-
ton has book containing the names of
President Cleveland, all the members of his
cabinet and many prominent public men of
the national capital They gave generously
and cheerfully. for they regarded it as
privilege to be able to testify in this man
ner to the honor of the lamented Vice
President The fund grew rapidly until it
reached about $4,000. According to the
committees possession the monument,
when wholly completed, will cost about
$40. 900.
Mr.. Pendleton is now canvassing the
South to rase the needed money. When
he left Indianapolis few weeks ago the
deficit was $1,000. This amount he under
took to raise. He visited St. Louis, Kansas
City, Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga
and met with most encouraging success in
each of those cities Already he has Sc
cured enough subscriptions to decrease the
deficit to about $500, and the remainder
he is confident of obtaining before he re- |;
turns home.

ALWAYS Going to be Married.

Among well-known female characters
in Boston is a maiden lady of uncertain
years who is perpetually going to be
married. At precisely 2.30 p. m. each
day she makes her appearance at the
corner Of Boy]ston and Charles streets
and strikes across the Common toward
the ca Congregational Church, on
Birthstone corner. She is dressed as for
wedding ard BY her airs and graces
attracts crowd about her in front of
the Hotel PeIhace, where she finally
stops to wait for car. Having boarded
the conveyance for South Boston, she
affords entertainment to her felloW-pas-
sengers by all sorts Of queer antics.
From beginning to end she never says q
word, but it is plainly to be seen from
her manner and gay attire that she is on
her way to meet her 6ance. At Ger
tain street she invariably gets out and
takes the next car back, to go through
precisely the same performance the fol-
lowing day. Behind the story of this
poor woman's partly-bighted intellect
there may be, nay, probably is, a sad
tale, but what it is none of the hundreds
who daily see her know.

A Bogus Circular.

Nh. Jcnes, chairman OF the Congress
aonal Democratic campaign committee,
ssys:
ssA circular letter dated Democratic
Committee Rooms, Washington, Feb
ruary I, 1885, and signed q. NJ. V.
Judson, secretary, has been sent to
numbers Of postmasters in the South,
requesting them to procure and send to
their Senators and Representatives lists
of names with request that public
documents and field, garden and dower
seeds be sent to the persons named in
suca ists.- Inquiry at National Demo
cratic Committee rooms and ct the Con-
gressional campaign committee rooms
shows that 81. NJ. Y. Judson is not Sec
retsry Of any Democratic committee in
Washington. It Is also sscertained that
Senators and Representatives have sent
to their constituents all seeds and nearly
sll documents allotted to them. The
circular referred to implies rhst they
have been dereict IN this respect, and it
has unnecessarily stirred up the people
and annoyed the Senators and Repre-
,sentatives."
Mr.. Jones says Judson is myth, and
he advises that no attention be paid to
the circular described.

Henry Irving and the Pria ce Of
Wales.

Not long ago the Prince of Wales
sent Mr.. Henry Irving, th actor, a
note, through his secretary. notifying
him that his royal highness would
breakfast with him at a day and hour
specified. Accompanying this notiica-
ton was list of persons Mr.. Irving
was to invite to meet the prince. At
once the actor signifed the delight
which this evidence of the royal favor
had given him and begged permission
to add two guests, whom he named, to
those named by the prince. The an
swer was prompt negative. Mr..
Irving could only invite to his own
breakfast, in his own house, the persons
whose names had been furnished him by
his self-invited guest Then Mr.. Irving
wrote again. He besought the royal
clemency. He ventured to reason the
case. He said that when he was in
America he had received signal kind
ness and hospitality from the individu-
ais mentioned; that they had just ar
rived in London, and that he knew not
how to explain their exclusion to them
if they were to be excluded from such
an occasion. Then his royal highness
relented aud graclously consented that
Mr. Irving might ask his two American
friends to his own table.

entirely characteristic of the social sys-
tenn of England. If the English like it

The Postal telegraph.

1t looks very much as if we might have
a complete system OF postal telegraphy in
the near future. The House Committee on
Commerce has favorably reported a bill
which appropriates $S,000,000 for the
establishment Of postal telegraph. The
report claims that the Government can
place in service system answering all
the needs of the public for sum vastly
below that which is represented by the
Western Union Telegraph Company. In
brief its conclusions are these: First,
That the time has arrived when the Gov
ernment should construct and operate a
postal telegraph system as q branch of its
postal service. Second, That the Govern
ment has the right to build and operate
telegraph lines under the jurisdiction of its
Post Office Department. Third, That
public opinion will not permit, and good
faith and justice do not require, the pur
chase by the Government OF the property
and franchises of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
The bill places the general supervision of
the system under Fourth Assistant Post
master General. The work of establishing
the lines, ETC., is to be done under the di-
rection of the Secretary Of War, with the
approval of the President,
The bill provides for telegraphic postal
money orders at existing mail rates plus

a basis of 10 cents for twenty words 500
miles or less and one-third of cent word
for press dispatches, one thousand words
or less.-Augusta Evening News.

SAVE YOUR HANDS.
Precautions Which Should Be Adopted
by AL Housekeepers.

by AL houSekeepcrs.
Women who have done housework long
time are in some instances troubled by en-
largement of the joints of the fingers and
hands. This trouble is brought on by the
exposure of the hands to the extremes OF
temperature, and especially by putting
them in hot and cold water, and letting
cold air come in contact with them after
having had them in water. This may be
avoided in several ways which will men
ton.
A handled dish-mop can be used for all but
the very worst dishes, and the hands hardly
be wet. Another of these mops can be
profitable utilized in cleaning lamp CHM
neys. With a self-wringing mop a floor can
be washed without wetting the hands;
model housekeeper of my acquaintance uses
one, and says that with but half the labor 1t
is as effective as common mop.
A pair of mittens should be kept express
" for wear when hanging out clothes; they
are best knit. .!but two thicknesses Of old fan
mel make quite serviceable ones. Another
pair of mittens should be kept for outdoor
wear, for making beds in cold rooms, or
any work which chills the hands and can
be done in mittens.
Wearing an old pair Of thick gloves, or
better vet. loose mittens made from an old
rubber blanket, when blacking stoves, does
away with the necessity of washing the
hands after the operation. A little whlsk
broom is useful in cleaning windows; the
GLASS can be washed and rinsed with 1t, and
for the corners it is especially nice.
In rinsing clothes stick can be USED 10
press the suds from the articles in the tub
and lift them to the surface, where only The
tips of the fingers need be used in feeding
them to the wringer.
Apples or vegetables to be. pared in win
ter should be brought from the cellar in sea-
son to allow Of their surfaces being warmed
before being handled.
Clothes taken from the line IN colo
weather should either be handled IN nit
tens or allowed to stand awhile in warm
room before being folded or sprlnkled; lor
the latter operation warm water should be
used. A tin box with a perforated cover,
such as pepper and spice are sold IN, makes
good sprinkler.
It NAV be thought too much trouble to dc
| work in this way, and doubtless it will take
more time at first; butt will be found after
a fair trial to be in reality superior to the
old method. At all events it will pay ID the
