Ex-PREs1DENT Cleveland, Wednes-
day, sent the following telegram Of
coincidence to Mrs. Barnum at Lime
Rock, Conn.,: Il have this moment
heard of your bereavement and hasten
to assure you that I sincerely mourn
the death Of your husband and deeply
sympathize with You in your great
aflict,on.' In speaking of Mr.. Barnum,
the ex-president said: .'He was the
most unsel6sh man 7 ever knew. He
gave literally of his time and money for
the benefit of the Democratic party,
and never used his position as chair
man of the national committee to ad-
vance the fortunes of himself or his
personal political friends" Daniel La
mont said: ''Mr. Barnumn's interest in
the success of the party was so great
that he denied himself the rest which
his health demanded. When the vic
tory Of 1884 was won he was content
that his party was in power, and he
made no demands and had no favorites
10 press. His death is a great loss to
the party"

A Slight Gain.

The>.N orthwesten Miller III it's issue
of FRIDAY said: There was slight gain
in the fou2 output last week. Fifteen
mills were operated, but only eight ran
full time, the rest getting in two to
four days. The aggregate OUTPUT was
lO2, $50 bbls.- averaging 17,l55 bbis.
daily-against 100,l50 bbls. the week
before. and 1S1 500 bbls. for correspond
ing time in 1888. The present week
will be a short one for milling opera
tons. The centennial holiday yester-
day was generally observed on the
platform, only one mill running during
the day. This cut off about 5000
barrels at one fell swoop. Then the
mills in operation are less in number
than a week ago. Three dropped out
of the active list Saturday night, doing;
away with nearly 1900 barrels more
daily. Another making 1,50o barrels is
likely to stop within day or two.
From present indications the weeks
production will not exceed 5000 bar
rels. The water power is all that could
be desired. more or less running TO
waste over the flush boards.

A YOUNG man not far away sent
twenty Ave cents to an eastern firm for
an article that was advertised as a sure
DESTROYER of potato bugs. The parcel
arrived, and contained two small blocks
of wood, with directions for use, the
purchaser being Informed not to open
it until necessary. The innocent youth
was given these directions: "When the

two blocks, squeeze down on them. and
you will find that it is sure death to all

A RENEGADE's LATEST.

Renegades, invariably, try to plead
Legitimacy" as the excuse for their
treason, says the Irish-American. In
o speech he made at Birmingham, on
last Thursday. ''shifty'' Joe Chamber
lain rather startled his auditors by the
declaration that 1.-The Gladstonians
were Legitimate sons of the Liberal
party, and that the Liberal Unlonists
were the true heirs OF the party" Con-
sidering that Chamberlain himself, be-
gan his political life in the ranks of the
Radical minority, aud was lifted into
prominence-on his supposed opposi-
tion to the Tories, whom he is now
back,pg-by the Gladstonians whom he
thus assails, the impartial observer will
probably conclude that there is a dis
tant bar~sinister in Joe's political pedi-
eree that would inevitably rule him out
of all "iegit,mate'' political association.
AS for Harrington and the remnant OF
the old Wing riff-raff (who never were
'liberar' in any sense, save to their rel
atiyes and followers they threw off the
mask of liberalism long ago:and though
they have not, by actual adhesion, as
vet Joined the Tory conclave, it is a
political open secret, all through Eng
land, that they stand, as neophytes, in
the ycstibule Of Torvlsm, waiting, ODE
dent to the dictum OF their master,
Harrington, who holds them in the hol-
low Of his hand, {even as he holds Joe
t?hamberiajn). as a make weight" by
which no can at any moment turn the
scais, for or against the present admin
is!ration. harrington, more than Sal
isbury, is the ruler Of the Tory-Union~
list majority in Parliament to day; and
The malevolent coercion policy develop
ed in Ireland is the outcome Of his in
Auence.-the manifestation Of his re-
venge, against the whole Irish race, for
the death of his brother. Joe Chamber
lain is only one of the tools he employs;
and like the clown he is, Harrington
makes him his gyrate in any direction
he chooses.

A PRISONER in Virginia peniten~
tiary, sentenced to four years imprlson-

on the ground that he was mot suffici~

spurns the pardon, saying that he will

The rush to Oklahoma, says the Bos~

land is thing of the past, and that the
people of the United States should begin
to study the land question in order that
a hundred years hence the masses shall
own the soil and not the classes as in
Great Britain. The landlords of Eng
land are now investing not only in
American land but American indus
tries, as in their recent purchase of
nearly all the breweries in, this country.

THE NATIONS CENTENNIAL.

On last Tuesday the people of the
United States celebrated the fifth in
number of the centennial anniversaries
connected with the history of this coun-
try's independence. There remains but
one more to celebrate, that of the in
auguration of Thomas Jefferson as
President-the beginning of Democracy
and Of rule Of the people. The ami
versary of the battle of Lexington and
Concord, fought April 10, 1775, was the
first, liz as much as it proved the begin
ming of the revolution. After this came
the Declaration of Independence which
was followed about Eve years later by
the centennial Of the surrender at
Yorktown, when the war had practi-
cally ended, though it was two years
later before the treaty of peace was
signed. The next great event was the
framing, signing and PRONUNCIATION of
the constitution, which took place in
September, 1857, followed in due time
by the event which has just been so
heartily and periodically celebrated.
The victory Of that period did not
end with the dawn of peace. The coun-
try soon found itself in a state of al,
most hopeless bankruptcy and many
there were who lamented the results of
the war that bad freed them from
tyranny and oppression, and wished for
speedy return of the time when they
might again be found once more under
English domination and parcel
OF the English government. But in her
darkest hour Washington, the preseryer
and father of his country, never fall
tered, never lost hope nor faith. When
all seemed lost to those about him he
stood on the balcony OF Federal Hall
and swore to preserve, protect and de-
fend the constitution of the United
States with all the earnestness of man
who loved his country better than life
itself. 1t was then the people took new
courage, and from that time on the

To clean windows. wash them first
with tepld water and a sponge; then
dry them with old linen, aud rub them
clean. polish them with a newspaper.
A room crowded to discomfort with
furniture and ornaments, no matter
how costly, is never restful and bome-
like, and always suggests the museum
or the shop.
1t is an essential to health that the
air of the kitchen should be as pure as
that of the parlor, as food prepared in
the foul air partakes of foulness to g.

If your black cashmere is much soiled,

the country, and to serve it we love.

lea; and let us with hearts full of Joy
vhank the Almighty that his work re-
mains; thank him that the republic
prospers, ard swear to the republic al
legiance. and swear service in her best
interests. And we all, business men as
we'll as others have the further lesson
to learn from Washington, that when
the country needs we should be ready
to comply, and that no private interests
must excuse us from defect of service
to che country. Intelligent, good citi-
zens should be the first when needed to
come forward to save and protect for
all generations the best government
which Providence has youchsafed to

could accomplish and can become.
Benjamin Franklin was patriot,
scientist, statesman, diplomat. the
gatherer of foreign nations to the res
cue of his country, to fight with his own
hosts in the standards of liberty, and it
was all accomplished by honesty, BY
justice, by temperance, by industry, by
the broadcast charity. by the recognition
of the rights Of others, by an ever open
devotion to the lessons of common ex-
