ON TIME.

Since 40 years it has been the study
of our most accomplished moulders to
perfect COOKING Stove, which could
be equally as well adapted for coal or
wood.
The problem has at last been solved
and samples of remarkable beauty
and finish can be seen at H. Schultze
Jr., pa E. Houston street.
Ladies are invited to inspect the
stock, no trouble to show goods. The
Twin Burner Gasoline Stove, finest in
America, is in full operation.
A $500 Cook Stove is on exhibition.
Steam Egg Poacher at Csc each; Tin
Ware, Roofing, Repairing, in fact
everything in this line can be bought
for less money at
H SCHULTZE, JR,
than elsewhere. Remember the "On
Time" Cook Stove.

constItutlonal Prohinition.

The proEi5itionists were overwhelmingly
defeated in Connecticut on Mo day. The
state voted upon a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors. The result showed
about three votes to one against it. Neither
the prohibitionists nor the anti-prohibition-
lists made a very thorough canvass.
There seemed to be a quite gen.
eral agreement among the leaders
of each side that the people
understood the ISSUE and that additional
discussion of it would not change many
votes. Ex-Gov. st. John, formerly Of
Kansas, was the most popular speaker on
the prohibition side, but as he addressed
himself almost Who'll y to republicans, and
as they do not have a very profound regard
for him, il is thought he did not do the
prohibition cause much coed.
The result of the election in Connecticut
being about the same as that of similar
elections in New Hampshire, Mas achusetts,
Rhode Isla. d and Pennsylvania, this year,
and in Texas and Tennessee last year. must
be regarded as showing that the people are
pretty generally opposed to constitutional
prohibition. The majority in Connecticut
against the constitutional amendment
method was larger than that in any of the
other states named in proportion to the
number of votes cast, and that fact
may be construed by the opponents of pro-
hibition to mean that the prohibition cause
is losing ground. Such a construction.
however, there is reason to believe would
be erroneous. Prohibition by means of
local option appears to be as popular as
ever, and where that method is favored the
cause of prohibition is making progress.
There are two strong arguments against
constitutional prohibition. One of them is
that it is impossible to enforce prohibition
in those parts of a state which adopts it
in which public sentiment is against it. The
other is that it requires an organized party,
and that those who get control Of the party
seek to use it to accomplish personal and
selfish ends rather than TO promote the
cause of prohibition.
1t is not improbable that other states will
have CONSTITUTE nal prohibition elections,
but if they do, there is not much prospect
that the prohibitionists will carry them.
The prohibltionists, however enthusiastic
they may be, will discover in the very near
future that constitutional prohibition is not
popular, and is not likely to DO, and they
will abandon it aud adopt some other
method to accomplish the object they have
in view

The President Cracks a Joke.
From the NetC YorL; Tribune.


A man may be President and enjoy a hon
mot, but he rarely makes one.
Abraham Lincoln proved that presidential
dignity and jocosity were not antagonistic and
President Harrison follows MIN, for he NOT only
laughs at a good JOKE, but also on occasion be-
comes jester. One of the times was the re.
turn from Deer Park last Friday. 1t was the
day after the Blaine Mccormick wedding and
the newspaper accounts OF the ceremony had
been read by the various occupants of the car.
Miss Margaret Blaine's engagement to Mr.
Walter Damrosch was naturally mentioned in
the conversation which followed
President Harrison spoke warmly of Miss
Blaine, whom he had recently met at Bar Har
Dor. He praised her as sensible girl and q
woman of wit. The musical genius of Dam.
rosch the father was mentioned by one of the
party Some one who knew the Younger Dam
rosch spoke up quickly and said the son had the
fathers genius. This same gentleman said the
acquaintance was of longer standing than the
papers had quoted it; that Miss Blaine knew
Mr.. Damrosch some time before the Carnegie
caaching trip. In proof he said;
sWhy Mfr. DamroSch has been writing to Miss
Blaine over two years"
The President had apparently paid small heed
to the cha ttering until this remark He Then
looked up gravely, but with twinkle in his eve
and said:

Moving South.

In our dispatches day or two ago the
statement was made that one Of the largest
cotton manufacturing companies Of New
England was moving its plant to Texas.
The reasons givea for doing so we're that
cotton could be obtained for S. bale less
in the south than in New England. and that
cotton factory could be operated more
cheaply IN the south than in the north.
Southern newspapers have for years been
pointing out the advantages of the south
for the manufacture of cotton goods, aud
have predicted that before many years
more cotton would be Consumed in southern
than northern cotton mills 1t begins to
look as if this prediction would be proved
to be true sooner than was expected. The
number of cotton mills in the south is in
crossing very rapidly. The building of
mill in any locality is certain to bs followed
by others. All the southern mills which
are properly managed pay large dlvidands-
larger than the northern mills-and this
fact Is directing attention 10 cotton manu-
featuring in the south.
IL would not be surprising if Savannah
Should have half-dozen cotton mills within
VIC HOAV Wa CO VI lour years. IL Inc cHe
that viii be completed within the next six
months is as successful as there is reason to
believe it will be, others will be built very
soon. There is plenty of money seeking
profitable investment, and there will be no
hesitation In putting it in cotton mills when
confidence in the profitableness of that kind
of property is thoroughly established.
Comparatively few people know that vast
amounts Of southern pig iron find market
In Pennsylvania. In fact, they do not
know anything about the extent of the
manufacture of iron in the south. They
will be surprised. therefore, when they be-
gin to hear of Pennsylvania iron manu-
facturers moving their plants to Tennessee
aud Alabama There is a great deal of
northern capital now invested in
iron mining and manufacturing enterprises
In the south, but the am 1unt is nall COM
pared to what it will be within a very few
years. Eventually the south will manu-
facture the greater part of the iron and
cotton goods necessary to supply the de-
mands Of this country. The iron and cotton
manufacturers of the north see this, and
hence they are beginning to move their
plants to the south,

an EdItor Attacking a Reformer.

Editor Hatton, Of the Washington Post,
doesn't have a great deal of friendship for
the cowboy commissioner of the civil
service, Mr.. Theodole Roosevelt. Ever
since MIR. Roosevelt has occupied the office
of commissioner Editor HAtton has been
firing hot shot at civil service reform, civil
service reformers, and the civil service
commissioners. Commissioner Roosevelt
has felt it his duty to defend
the commission, and although he
has shown good deal of pluck and has
made pretty gallant fight, it must be adj
mitted that if he had talked les, he might
be in little better position. He is full of
enthusiasm, and is an earnest believer in
civil service reform, but he sometimes
permits his tongue to run away with his
judgment, and thus gives Editor Hatton O
chance to deal him some pretty heavy
blows
On Saturday the Washington Post pub
lis ed lengthy article in which it charged
that a clerk in the office of the civil service
commissioners purloined the civil service
questions and sold them, and t. at he after
ward was promoted. 1t also charged that
the civil service laws were violated by the
commissioners because they appointed and
promoted clerks in their own office without
examination.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in answer, declared that
the alleged wrong-doing occurred before he
and Commissioner Thompson were ap-
pointed. He may be right about that, but
If the charges the Post makes are true. they
will weaken confidence in civil service re.
form and dampen the enthusiasm of its
best friends. Commissioner Roosevelt
should have the charges investigated, SO
that the public may know the extent of the
wrong-doing, if any, and who is responsible
for it. He should have kept out of the
newspapers until he could have expressed
himself in a way that would have protected
| civil service reform. There is no doubt that
the country favors the reform, and it will
become firmly established if it is not de.
stroyed by the mistakes of its friends.

Blakely Hall, writing about Nary Ander-
son, says that the fact that she is OH the
dramatic stage is an impenetrabie barrier to
any social recognition for her in America,
and that the extent of her social success in
this country has been an occasional reception
by woman's society at some such place as
Delmonico's. In England it is quite differ
emit. There she is received and petted by
the best society. Miss Anderson certainly
deserves better treatment at the hands of
Americans. She is one of the few people
who have really elevated athe stage, and she
is a good, gifted and beautiful woman. There
are so many unworthy people on the stage
nowadays, however, that one can hardly be
blamed for drawing the line against all
actors and actresses, though some # them
have just cause TO complain at suca action.

January, and that an outline of the tour
will be given In few days. This may or
may not be true. Mr.. Blaine may have
concluded that his personal interests would
not be served by keeping the delegates Out
of the south, but probably the Same reason
that induced him TO exclude the south from

1t is stated that Gen. Chalmers has for
warded to the Mississippi state republican
executive committee letter of withdrawal
from the race for governor. His ostensible
reason for Withdrawing is that the white
people of Mississippi do not give him re-
spectful hearing-though what he probably
meant was that they do not give him a
hearing at all. Why should they go to his
meetingsl He went back on them, and
they are under no obligations to him. His
real reason for withdrawing, however, is
that the objects of his candidacy have been
accomplished. He has been brought into
prominence as the leader of the republicans
Of Mississippi and as tho probable dispenser
of federal patronage in that state, and Re
has given an impetus TO his contest for the
seat of the democratic congressman in his
district. Chalmers is bad egg, and it is
possible that even the republicans won't
stand by him
