Prompt Adhesion of Dental Plates.

L. c. Bryan gives an excellent plan for
securing immediate suction in a new
dental plate or a newly repaired one.
The plate is moistened, and then simply
sprinkled with fine powder Of gum traga-
canth. The plate is then pressed into place,
and nomatter how good or bad a fit, twill
hold firmly for day under almost any
use or abuse. The advantage of this is
apparent; for the first half hour after
plate is put in makes or mars the reputa-
ton of the dentist, for the time being, in
the estimation of the patient, whose ef-
forts to "suck up" plate, if not imme-
diately successful, are at once discon-
tinued, and the plate pronounced
misft.
It is said that a thin coating Of traga-
canth will even up all irregularities, pre-
venting the plate from wounding the
sensitive membrane of the mouth, and
often leading to satisfactory fit where
otherwise the plate could not be worn.
II the dentist is Of opinion that time
and use will improve the general adapta-
tion of the plate it is recommended that
small box of tragacanth should be pre-
sented to the patient with directions for
use whenever the variation in the sue
tion of the plate from atmospheric causes
should render its employment necessary.

sherman on Negro Suffrage.

That was significant remark of Sem
ator Sherman in the Senate. the other
day, that he thought perhaps it would
have been better had the amendment
giving the negroes the suffrage not been
adopted. This was his conclusion after
an experience of twenty years There
is no doubt that it was at the time dis
tasteful expedient to the Senator and
many of those who acted with him. 1t
was not measure calculated to pro-
mote the immediate interests OF the
eniancipated slaves, as they were utterly
ignorant and unfit for the duties in
volved in domination at the ballot box.
1t was not such policy as Abraham
Lincoln would have favored. He would
have made the approach to that prerog-
alive gradual and the result of prepare
ton. But the partisanship of the hour
was intolerant, and its work is final
ity. Mr.. Sherman can not recall it if
he would. No wonder there has been

den advent of million of untaught
men at the polls, inspired by delusiye
and chaotic dreams. st. Paul Globe.

M'KINLEY'S "REFORM" BILL.
1t Reduces the Rev without Reduc-
ing Monopoly Protection.

ing Monopoly Protection.
The bill of the ways and means com
nittee for reducing the internal revenue
and the tariff, now ready to be reported
to the House, goes far toward redeeming
the promise of the Republican party to
mako the leading vices Of the country
free and prosperous. The removal of
the tax from alcohol used in the arts is
equivalent to free whisky, as no method
has yet been discovered for preventing
frauds under such a law. Manufactured
tobacco is to be four cents a pound
cheaper, and the tax on snuff is re-
pealed altogether. These changes are
presumably among the great moral
ideas for which the Republican party
claims distinction.
This alleged reform of the tariff in
cludes a large increase of the tariff on
wool causing clothing and carpets to
cost the consumer more than ever, aud
offers the farmer as a solace an increase
Of tho tariff on butter, eggs, barley
and buckwheat, which are i'm
ported in such small quantities as
not to affect the great mass of the
farmers at all. The bill makes cut of
from so to so per cent in the duty on
sugar and of 25 per cent in the duty on
molasses, because these reductions will
benefit the veal thy North and West at
the expense of the infant industries"
of the South, and because the tariff
on these articles was almost an entirely
revenue tariff, as distinguished from a
monopoly-protectlng tariff. The tariff
on tin-plate is raised to prohibitive
point thereby cutting off entirely the
$4,000, 900 revenue which the Govern
ment has hitherto derived from that
source, and at the same time enabling
the infant tin-plate monopoly of this
country to double its prices IL it
pleases. Such are the effects of intrust-
ing the reformation of the war tariff
to the scheming villains who first de-
vised it.
The important point in this bill is the
fact that it reduces the revenues of the
Government without reducing monopoly
protection" Its policy all the way
through is to build up and enrich the
Eastern manufacturers at the expense
of every other industry, and especially
at the expense of the Western farmer. -

problem is not alone how to keep these
promises made to the soldiers but how
to satisfy other demands made on the
strength of party promises which would
absorb more than twice the amount of
the surplus without allowing dollars

AN ABSURD REPORT.
Southern Congressman Will Not Treat
with Republican Revoiutionists.

with REPUBLICAN, hevOiuUtOnlstS.
Commenting on an absurd report from
Washington of some sort Ct ''dicl1er'
between the Republicans and some OF
the Southern members of Congress the
New York Times says: ...,
"The fact is, and it is becoming more and
more plain every day, that the best policy for
the South is patience. Time is its great and
powerful ally. 1t has very little to gain from
any positive legislation and very much to gain
from waiting II is slowly but surely settling
the race problem. Little by little at various
points it is learning how to divide the negro
vote. 1t was done last fall in Virginia, in some
portions of Mississippi Louisiana and Florida,
and it can and will be done more and more as
time goes on. The day that it is recog-
nized in the North that division and not sup
preston of the vote of the negroes is the
policy of the South, the Southern question
will entirely disappear. Even now it has
so far disappeared that the majority in
Congress will not be able, and will hardly
dare to try, to pass any election law directed
against the South alone, or capable of being
worked against the South alone The schemes
Of the leaders-the Chambers, Shermans Reeds
are mischicvous in appearance but they are
vain. 1t would be a very bad bargain for South
ern men to try to defeat them by making con-
cessions in other matters, for they would have
| every thing to lose and nothing substantial to
gain" .-.r ..- ..e
The talk of concessions" from South.
ern Congressman is ridiculous. They
are not treating with the Republican
revolutionists. The South is in the
Union; it is an integral part of it; it has
equal rights and equal duties. 1t is in.
terested just as the other sections in
sound legislation, and can pay its part
to the piper for saturnalian dances. II
proposes to protect its interests openly
and boldly relying on the American
people. 1t has no favors to ask of, and
none to give TO, the Republican party
managers. Legislation good enough fol
the North may be bad, truly, but we car
stand it as long as can any othel
section. -Louisville Courier-J ournal.
