THE RAILROAD VOTE IN IOWA.

The Northwestern RaGlroader, of St
P&nl, Mimi, in its number just issued
publishes an important article on the
railroad vote in the recent election In
Iowa. After remarking in general
tho result is a good thing for the rail
roads, the paper continues:
1.-THE result is very largely owing
70 the railroad employees vote. Let
there be no mistake about this. 1t is
not the railroad companies who have
done this thing. The corporations
were not in the fight. Very few
railroad officials of lines in Iowa have,
We venture to say, had any knowledge
OF what the railroad employees have Of
their W initiative been doing in
Iowa. The Northwestern RailroGder
has had such knowledge from excel
Aent sources, and the result comes to
Ms not at all as a surprise. The rail
way employees of the State of Iowa
would control, if united, not less than
$4,000 votes. They are not yet
united on certain points to turn So
OOO or 10000 votes and to swing a
State election. The power which has
been put forth in Iowa has exerted
ITSELF 30 silently, with so little move
ment on the surface, that no n not
In the secret has known of its eXls-
tenCe. The railway employees have
awakened to the knowledge of their
own strength. They have learned
that their cause is not the granger
cause, and that they have nothing to
gain and everything to lose by a policy
of oppression of the companies from
whom they get their work, their sal
aries, their bread and butter. They
Ire not swayed by party motives, and
are no more under the leadership of
party bosses than the corporations.
But whatever the party may be or
whoever the man may be that strikes
at their very means of living, that
party or that man will feel the weight
Of their enmity at the polls. The
great counterbalance long need of the
granger vote has been found. 1t is
the vote of organized railroad men,"

MOTHS IN FURS.

How did you manage to get the
moth in your beaver? Nothing can
be done with it at home. You must
send it at once to a good furrier to be
dressed. Do you put lavender in your
wardrobe and drawers2 It some
times creates moth or brings it. l do
not know which. We had to give it
no on that account. Brown paper is
the best thing to put away furs and
Hannels in, adding plenty of powdered
bitter apple, camphor and pepper. One
sneezes frightfully when the curtains,
~tablecovers and garments are taken
ont of their seclusion and well shaken,
but those very sneezes prove that in
Bects could not bear the neighbor-
hood.
Mrs. Fourstars has a long-handled
cane arrangement, rather like a ten
nis-bat in shape, and with this she
thoroughly beats her furs and wooden
things every now and then. She is
one of the careful people whose furni-
ture and clothes always look fresh and
new. She showed me a plush coat
the other day which she had for three
years. It hung in her delightful
cedar-wood wardrobe on three nails
by three loops sewn at equal distances
within the collar, this being done SO as
to avoid any ugly wrinkles being
creased by the strain on the usual sin
gle loop. The sleeves were stuffed
with tissue paper, and the body was
folded round a roll of brown paper.
An old sheet enveloped the whole, the
outline of the garment making US
think of one of Bluebeard's wives
with her head cut off. When the
coat was unfolded, to the accompani-
ment of any number of sneezes, it
looked as though it were new out of
the shop.
You will kindly accept all these re-
marks as a little lecture upon your
carelessness. Send the furs, I repeat,
to q good furrier.-London Truth.

rARNELL's LEADERSHIP ENDED.
His Mantle Likely to Fall Upon
Dillon's Shoulders

Bis Mantle Likely to Fall Upon
DilIon's Shoulders
A special cable telegram from Lon
don to the New York Herald says:
Whether it be true or not that Dillon
has succeeded Parnell in the leadership of
the Irish party, it is certain that events APP
pear to be ripe for change of some kind.
All politicians desire to look upon the face
Of their leader occasionally, and Parnells
health has long made visits to the interior
of the House of Commons few and far be-
tween. The loyalty of his followers has
not waped, but active work has to be done
and directing mind is indispensable.
This would be sufficient to account for
the temporary withdrawal from the field
which Parnell seems to have decided upon.
Dillon has returned from his Australian
journey In such robust health that it would
not be piece of rashness on his part to
undertake more laborious duties than those
which he has hitherto performed in con-
nection with the leadership of his party.
He is popular IN the House, and is a far
better speaker than Parnell could ever pre-
tend to be. Of course he will have valuable
allies in Sexton, Tim Healey, T, P. O'Con-
nor and others, but the main brunt of the
work will probably fall upon Dillon him
self 1t will be admitted on all sides that
the Irish party is not likely to suffer in his
hands

The late Imperial head of Germany
Che Emperor William ~ was wonder
In many respects, but chiefly for the
number of successive generations Of
HohenZollerns that had sprung up DUR
ing his lifetime. The present Queen of
England occupies about equal distinc-
tion; but ! think that old DIR. Scott, the
father-in. law of President Harrison,
beats them both. The late Emperor
William could sit at the head of four
generations, and Queen Victoria can
still do the same but DR.. Scott has the
distinction of being able to sit at the
head of two sets of descendants with
four generations in each. He is the
apex of an isosceles triangle with two
legs long enough to extend to Baby
Mckee on the one side and Baby
Brooks on the other. There is in Wash
ington gentleman who has a collection
of cards photographs which includes
probably the most remarkable pair of
fours on record. One card is photo
