tropolitan counties, eleven country
, counties by pluralities aggregating
/ $3.50; these same counties in 1888
only gave him 1870--a loss in
Democratic pluralities in Demo-
cratic counties of 1910 votes. The
Democratic state of Connecticut in
1884 gave Mr.. Clevand a plurality of
1900, and only SOC in 1883. The
Democratic state of Indiana gave
him plurality in 1884 OF 6512, and
gave Dir. Harrison in 1883 ,.lurali-
ty ef 1892, and yet at the same elec-
ton gained three Democratic con.
gresham. making total from that
state of ten Democrats and three
Republicans in the lower house OF
Congress. Tire Democratic state of
Virginia gave Mr.. Cleveland plur-
ality of 200 in 1884, but only
HOO in 1887. It has now swung
back to 10000.
In the state Of Illinois, in 1884,
fifty one counties were Republican and
fifty.one Democratic; the fifty-one
Democratic counties gave plu-
rality in 1884 to Mr.. Cleveland of
1888 votes, bat in 1888 the same
couuties gave him only plurality
of IL, ,397, while the whole state
gave Palmer $4,000 more Demo
cratic votes than it gave Mr.. Cleve-
land. If anything can be demon.
strated by the results it would APP
pear that Mr.. Cleveland's fatal weak
ness was with the Democracy,
whom he did not comprehend, and
whom he did not honor. One who
will study the elections of 1884 and
1888 carefully and dispassionately,
with view to determining what
should be the future action of the
Democratic party, will rise from
that study with the conviction
craven upon his heart that Mr..
Cleveland can never be successful
candidate before that "proud and
powerful" people whose political
ascendancy has been still further
increased by the admission of new
states to the Union, thus giving
them additional control in the Con.
gress and in the Electoral Col.
lege.
There is no doubt but that Doodle
to use The modern phrase, played an
important part in the election Of
1888, but it is furthermore true
that Doodle would not have pre-
vailed in contest against a man
who was enshrined in the hearts of
the Democracy. The losses of Mr..
Cleveland was not generally in the
Doodle districts, not in the cities,
which are supposed peculiarly to be
the home of the boodlers, but they
occurred in the country regions and
at the crossroads, where men were
voting their feelings and where they
gave expression to their resent
ments. The heart of the Demo-
cracy was not in the campaign and
the result demonstrated that the
silent vote which had been alienated,
as in the Democratic counties of
Illinois, was not swept from its
Democratic alternating by the use of
money, but by alternating affections
of the Democratic voters.

MONSIEUR SILHOUETTE.
The Man For Whom a Peculiar Style ,
Portrait Was Named.

The Man For Whom a Peculiar Style of
Portrait Was Named.
There is history attached to the
word Silhouette About the middle
OF the last century a man named Sill
houette became Minister of State in
France. he treasury was in a very
low condition. and Silhouette was apx-
ious to better the national affairs. So
he practiced economy, and tried to in
duce the King and court to be econom-
ical. too. But the the King. Louis
XIV, had no inteption of reformation
of any sort, and the extravaganza and
cruelty OF this time paved the way for
the horrors of the French revolution
which came in the next reign.
Silhouette became very unpopular,
and the courtiers laughed at him and
his plans. They pretended to be eco
nomical. Snutf-taking was fashion
able then. and some of the elegant
snuff boxes of that time are now in
other collections of curiosities; beauti-
full boxes OF gold or enamel sci with
precious stones and ornamented with
paintings. pretty landscapes or por-
| traits. In order to burlesque Silhou-
cite and his economy some of the
would-be witty ladies and gentlemen
] carried plain wooden boxes. To the
same end, the gentlemen wore coats
/ very short, sometimes made without
sleeves; and instead of exquisite por-
traits set in gilt frames, or miniatures
hung from gold cha ms and set in dia-
monds, they gravely presented to their
friends funny little outline portraits,
black protiles drawn in solid black
or cut with scissors from black cloth
or paper All these absurd fashions
| they called the silhouette style
every thing was a Ia Silhouette while
the fun lasted. This was not very
long. Poor Silhouette, his plan made
him so unpopular that he was glad tt
resign his Office and go into retire
ment The other ridiculous fashion,
passed away before great while. bu
the style and the name of the portrai
remain. -Wide-Awake.

REMARKABLE PRIORITY.



to Her Fathers Memory.
In February. 1881. Patrick Hogan.
shoe manufacturer, of Newark, N. j.,
failed His liabilities were $50. 497 .68;
his assets. estimated at what they
would bring in cash, were but $14. 600.
His daughter. Elizabeth F. Hogan.
who was forewoman of the factory and
had a claim for wages. took charge OF
the establishment The debtor offered
and the creditors accepted 20 per cent.
in full for their claims. and Hogan
was freed from debt Miss Hogan
conducted the business in her own
name thereafter. She was prosperous.
In 1887 she built a factory at cost of
$50, 900. $40. 900 OF which she borrowed
on mortgage.
Her father. Patrick Hogan. and two
of her brothers Zone adopted) were
associated with her. 1t had always
been the desire of Mr. Hogan to pay
his Indebtedness in full, notwithstaHd-
ing he was not bound to do so legally.
He died very suddenly on the Sd Of
March. 1889. of pneumonia. and it was
his dying injunction that his debts
should be paid; he left no will. He
held life insurance policy for $15. 900.
His daughter and his two sons i'm
mediately set about paying up the old
debts, and have already discharged
them in full, expending for that pur-
pose s42 COZ 81. There were fifty-one
creditors. The largest sum original Y
/ due was to Barclay Il Co. $i3, l9. 80;
( the next largest was to j. H. & I. w.

| What tribute of respect TO a fathers
memory could be more tender aud beau

brothers have set an example o.
probity to all people who have had the
good fortune to emerge from adversit,
into prosperity.

ALL ABOUT FILES.
How to Select and Use Them-Valuable
Practical Suggestions.


Practical Suggestions.
To choose fiat file, turn its edge up
ward and look along it. selecting one
hich has an even sweep from end to
end. and having no fat places or hol-
lows. To choose half-round file. turn
the edge upward. look along it and Sc
lect that which has an even sweep and
no fiat or hollow places on the half
round side. even though it be hollow
in the length of the fiat side.
In draw-filing, take short. quick
strokes, which will prevent the file
from pinning and scratching. Long
strokes. no matter how long the work
may be, are useless. save to make
scratches. Remember it is less the
number of strokes given the file than
the weight placed upon it that is eff
fective; therefore, when using a rough
file stand sufficiently away from the
work to bring the weight of the body
upon the forward stroke. New files
should be used at first upon broad sur
faces since narrow edges are apt to
break the teeth if they have the ibrous
edges unworn.
For brass work use the file on a
broad surface until its teeth are
dulled. then make two or three strokes
of the file under heavy pressure upon
the edge of a piece of sheet-iron,
which will break off the dulled edges
of the teeth and leave a new tibrous
edge for brass work.
Use bastard-cut files to take off a
quantity of metal of ordinary hard
ness; second-cut in fitting. and also to
file unusually hard metal; smoothing
to finish in final adjustment or prepar-
atory to applying emery cloth; dead
smooth, to finish very fine work; float
file on lathe work.
To prevent files from pinning, and
hence from scratching. properly clean
them, and then chalk them well.-

PICTURESQUE HOLLAND.

their banks, the red tile roofs powered
In green, the fat contented-lookinc
horses and cattle, the comfortable ap-
pearance OF the people, and their
houses, the mountains OF cheese and
butter, fresh rolls and tempting vege-
tables. and the thorough kindness and
honesty OF the people constitute re-.
treshing contrast to one accustomed to
city ways. believe it is impossible
TO flnd poor bread and butter or an un-

after series OF struggles with the
lordly hotel clerk barons in America.
what q luxury it is to be received by a
kindly-faced man who does not look as
II he knew every thing in the world
and little more, to be given large,
well-furnished, home-like room. an
appetizing meal. to be treated with
marked courtesy and to feel as il you
were making visit to your uncle in
the country. In America If you take
dinner it costs you $3.50; il
you lack that much of complet-
ing the day then it is worth
only 90 cents in allowing for it.
and every thing is based on the plan
OF making traveller pay for some
thing he hasn't received. In Holland
the bill is generally less than one ex-
poets and the little customary gratuity
is most cheerfully given. And then
did you ever hear of cab driver who
looked as gentlemanly as parson or
a professor who would drive YOU
about town for an hour, who did not
claim any extras for overtime and
who would be perfectly satisfied with
30 cents and 5 cents for pourboire?
They have them in Holland. Our
average waiter in America is colored
carries towel that often looks as il
1t had been used for a dOor-mat, and
has trousers and shoes that would befi

neat and gentlemanly-looki that il
seemed almost an insult to give hin
an order for a meal. and more thar

impression that some substantial bust

tidy caps and aprons, always the same
