valuable experience to give the city q
good administration, and we are CON
WINGED that those who contributed to
his success will find no reason in his
future course to repent their conf
dence.
Only one remark remains to be
made. The peace, order and de-
corum of the election were beyond
all praise. The only blot on
the record of the day was
caused by the rufianism of a Repub-
lican heeler. 1t is fair to his party to
say that he was practically alone in
his ruffianly course. Present in
formation indicates that both parties
behaved temporarily. OF course, there
is moi the slightest suspicion of fraud
attaching to the vote, and the speed
and thoroughness of the count show
that the election officers profted by
past errors to avoid even the suspicion
of irregularity.

Teach Them to Be Women.

AAA0AA ~ "
When a girl is ten years old she
should be given household duties to
perform, for which a sum of money
should be paid her weekly. She
needs a little pocket money, and the
knowledge how to spend it judiciously,
which can SO we'll be given by a
mother to her little girl. She should
be required to furnish a part of her
wardrobe with this money. For in
stance, if she gets ten cents a week,
she should purchase all her stockings,
or all her gloves, as her mother may
decide; and doing this under the
mothers supervision, she will soon
learn to trade with Judgment and
economy.
OF course, the mother will see that
the sum is sufficient to do this, and
yet leave a trihe for the child to spend
as she pleases. This will supply a
healthy stimulus; it will give her a
proper ambition and pride in her
labor, and the ability to use money
properly. AS she grows older these
household duties should be increased,
with the proportionate increase OF
money paid for the performance OF
them. We know a lady who divides
the wages of a servant among her
three daughters. There is a syste-
matte arrangement OF their labor,
which is done with a thoroughness
and alacrity.- Women'S Journal

This paper Is Democratic IN principles
and Is Independent IN its Viesos on all
local questions.
The Lesson of the Election.

Inc Lesson OF n ELECTION.
The election of Mayor Cleveland is
a splendid triumph of Democratic
principles. 1t is one more answer to
those who have questioned the
strength of the Democracy in this
city. 1t is besides a compliment of
a rare kind to Mayor Cleveland, who
thus assumes the chief magistracy for
the third time after a campaign OF
unexampled virulence, in which every
effort, fair and unfair, was put forth
to beat him.
In this result we discern a rebuke
TO the INSCRIPTIONS methods which
the Republican party has adopted to
make New Jersey a Republican
State. After the November cleo
ton, the ukase went forth that
the Democracy was to be assailed
in its stronghold in Hudson
County. The powers of the Legisla-
ture were distorted to that end, an
INSCRIPTIONS foreign press was
turned loose upon the Democratic
leaders, the functions of the
Post Office were abused. Money
and chicanery were resorted to
with that lavishness which is char
acteristic of the party of Dudley
Quay and Wanamaker.
In particular, a personal campaign
was waged against Mr.. Cleveland from
the date of his nomination, in whichnot
his public career or political affiliations
were attacked, but his private life and
character were bitterly and SANDER
ously assailed. This kind of attack
has been tried before in American cleo
tions. and the American people have
never failed to rebuke it. The
Republican press fought Grover Cleve-
land in 1884, and we all know the
result. The circumstances Of this
contest are particularly like those Of
the war which the World waged
against John r. Fellows in 1887 and
which resulted in his triumphant
election.
Mr.. Cleveland may almost rejoice
now at the attacks that were directed
against him, since his fellow-citizens,
among whom he has lived a long life,
have SO effectualIy answered them for
him.
But passing from the personal as
pect OF the vote, let us glance at the
political effect. In confirming the
loyalty Of Hudson county to the Dem
ocratic cause, the vote Of yesterday
places New Jersey more firmly than
ever in the front rank of Demo-
cratic States. Ever faithful to the

Kitchen Economy.
"Many a young wife, said a moth
erly woman the other day, would
find the wheels of her household NOV
ing much more smoothly if she would
spend a little less money on the fur
nishing of her drawing-room and de-
vote it instead to supplying her
kitchen with labor-saving appliances
and plenty of utensils. Economy in
kitchen utensils may easily be pushed
too far, and if there is another place
where a woman may be more readily
excused than another for extrava-
gance it is just there.
ITO have to stop in the middle of
making a dessert in order to clean a
saucepan or a kettle in which the soup
had been prepared, because you have
not another, is folly when soup kettles
can be had for twenty-five cents each.
To have your kitchen knives of such
poor metal that they viii not stay
sharp, or to let a good knife remain
dull because you think you cannot
afford to spend ten cents to have it
sharpened is a real waste of strength
out of all proportion to the saving.
To have nothing by which you can
measure your ingredients accurately,
because it costs more to buy a set of
weights or a graduated glass measure
than to trust to guess work and an
old teacup, has spoiled many a good
dish that cost just as much and has
brought humiliation on many a good
cook.
ITO scrape your porridge pot with
a spoon, because you will not buy a
patent pot scraper for twelve cents,
wears out ten spoons Done pot scraper,
and the hired girl invariably selects
your best spoon for that purpose.
Sitting the coal ashes is such a dirty
business as it is usually performed.
and the servant kicks against it so
vigorously, that the most economical
housekeeper soon abandons it in de-
SPAR. A patent ash sitter that allows
no dust toescape and preserves all the
half burned coal will pay for itself in
one winter and last five. A cheap
refrigerator can be had for one-third
the cost of a good one of the same size,
butif you buy it your ice bill will be
twice as large.
There is hardly anything in the
kitchen of which there are not two
varieties, the cheap and the dear, and
the result of the use of either is gen
orally it's exact opposite in actual
cash. But in comfort to ones self
and to ones husband and children, a
saving OF time, temper, brain worry
and back ache, they repay their cost
many times over every week.

Actor sothern's Rebuke.

f1CtOI opbhotn . ncDuAC
An old lady, laden with bundles,
stood in the aisle, weary and almost
i'll with fatigue. Close by her sat a
big brute, spread out comfortably
and complacently over the space that
two people could easily occupy, and
refusing to bulge an inch when the
lady mildly looked with longing eyes
upon the seat. Everybody glared at
him, but he took no notice of that;
there were muttered words of disap-
proval, but he paid no attention to
those. At last Mr.. Sothern, with n
of those Lord Chumley stares, so fun
of innocence and simple good nature,
leaned over from the strap on which
he hung and in a very audible stage
whisper inquired: - Excuse me,
~s-s-sir, but would you kindly t-t-tell
me what k-k-ind of nerve tonic you
use?n Even the roar of laughter
which followed in the car did not
bring a wrinkle to the mildly beaming
face of Lord Chumley, but it did
make the old hog leave his seat and
the car.
Double Pay and No Lecture.
A we'll known citizen adopted a
novel expedient the other night to
secure peace. 1t was incumbent upon
him to attend to some business down
town, and he promised his wife that
he would positively be back at half
past eight. There would be no slip
up, no accidents or mishaps, no 'ifsn
or s'butsn-there could be no mistake
about 1.-THE would be home at half
past three prompt. His wife looked a
little doubtful. Twill you give me
a dollar for every hour you are later
than that?n she asked.
'Donel'' he exclaimed and forgot all
about it.
As he CROPPED his way in at eleven
o'clock he suddenly bethought him
self of his wager. OF course his wife
was up.
Here, my dear, I'm two hours and
a half late; here's $5. Double pay.
Now, don't say a word
The lady saw that she could not
honorably refuse to abide by the con
tract, but declares now that she
wouldn't have taken $40 for the cur
tain lecture which she had mapped
out and committed to memory for the
occaSiOn.=M. Louis ReDubJic.
