The question of taxing compound lard
has been reopened by the House Committee
on Agriculture. Yesterday representatives
of the Southern negroes made earnest argu-
ments against the measure, threatening dis
aster to the Republican party if it was
passed. They claimed that the proposed
bill taxed one section for the benefit of
another.

PROHIBITION OR HIGH LICENSE?-FACTS
FROM OFFICIAL RECORDS.
While it may be claimed, and is no
doubt in measure true, that the sales
of beer in given state are not always
an accurate criterion of the consump-
ton, still it must be remembered that,
with few notable exceptions in the case
of famous breweries, beer is largely con-
sumed in the vicinity of its manufacture.
AS evidence, then, of the comparative
value of Prohibition and high license as
restrictive measures, it is proper to COM
pare in detail the sales in typical Prohi-
bition and high license states.

THE Household.
Girls Taught to Become Useful
Wives.

The closing exercises of the House
hold School, connected with FIRST In.
dependent Christ's Church, were held
last night in the chapel adjoining the
church, on North Charles street. The
exercises consisted of a broom and chair
drill, in which about IS little girls,
from 8 to 13 years of age, participated.
After the drill the girls answered a
great variety Of questions pertaining to
housekeeping, by "making beds,'
"setting table, aud performance of
other light household duties. The
cooking class repaired to the kitchen
in the basement of the church and soon
prepared a savory supper Of steak,
potatoes, biscuits, mullins, tea and coffee.
The school has been in operation about
four years, and is in charge Of Misses
N. c. Williams, R. L. Simon and Miss
Chapman.
The object Of the school is not only
to teach that bed is to be made in
certain way, table to be arranged
properly, but to arouse in the girls
different feeling about "helping mother
and keeping house, and to awaken each
girls pride and ambition to the fact that
the school will make home bright and

of housekeeping, and as they grow
older are transferred to the cooking
department.
The boys are looked after as we'll as

divided into rooms where they are
taught free.hand drawing, modelling in
clay and work in braas. Two rooms
are fitted up as gymnasiums. where
they receive instruction in physical
development.
The promoters of the school are much
encouraged by the success of the work

future. Its reputation has spread

Sewing on Buttons.

Doubtless every woman thinks she
knows how to sew on a button. II she
is sure, she can skip this article, which
is for the benefit of those whose buttons
do come off occasionally.
"When get bright idea 1 always
want to pass it along" said lady, as
she sat watching a young girl sewing.
"DO your buttons ever come of, Leona?"
"Ever? They're always doing it. They
are ironed off, washed off, and pulled
off, until despair. 1 seem to shed
buttons at every step" snake use Of
these two hints when you are sewing
them on, then, and see if they maxi
any difference. When you begin, be-
fore you lay the button on the cloth,
put the thread through so that the knot
will be on the right side. That leaves
it under the button, and prevents it
from being ironed or worn away, and
thus beginning the looseniug process.
Then, before you begin sewing, lay g
large pin across the button so that all
the threads will 60 over the pin. After
you have finished filling the holes with
the thread draw out the pin and wind
the thread round and round beneath the
button. That makes compact stem
to sustain the possible pulling and wear
of the buttonhole. 1t is no exaggera-
ton to say that my buttons never come
off, and l am sure yours won't if you
use my method of sewing" Western

The $4,000 to 10000 Scandinavians in

Prohibitory amendment, and, as in Da-
kota, will probably decide the contest
Already a Swedish paper has been start
ed, called The Temperance Bugle, which
will be sent to every Swedish voter from
now until election.
The spirit of the pulpit may be judged
from the following action taken by the
Swedish Evangelical Mission association
of Nebraska, in session at Mead:
"The association hereby expresses its
intense satisfaction over the opportunity
now afforded the citizens of the state of
Nebraska to settle by ballot the liquor
question, which is now supreme in i'm
portance; and the association itself will
most fervently recommend and support
the Prohibition amendment. We express
our desire that all Christians and all in
dustrious citizens in the state shall exert
themselves to the best of their ability to
give the Prohibition amendment victory

IS IOWA BANKRUPT?
1t Is said also that Prohibition has
ruined Iowa financially. On June 80,
1887, there were thirty-seven savings
banks in Iowa, with total assets of $12,-
100000. In two years of Prohibition
these have increased to fifty in number,
and the assets have grown to SIT, 1875, 900.
During the same period the state banks
have increased from sixty-five to eigh-
ty-one, and their assets from 1926 600
to 3,170,000. In other words, during
the last two years, while Prohibition has
been running" Iowa financially, we have
had an increase of twenty-nine banks
with total increase of assets of over
81, 800, 900, greater increase than in any
other two years in the history of our
state.
MORTGAGES LIFTED.
More mortgages have been lifted in
Iowa last year than have been placed,
a fact which cannot be stated of any
previous year in the history of the state.

MIR. REEDS POWER,
Howell Mass. Courier1

Some of the opposition papers go an un-
necessary distance to find ideas to express as
to Mr.. Speaker Reeds power and phenomal
success. One mugwump writer acknowl-
edges that he has been more Of a Speaker
than any man who has filled the chair within
half century, and another declares that he
has made mere puppet of his party, and
forced II to obey his behests. Now the whole
fact Is that Mr.. Reed is an uncommonly
bright man, with a vast amount of courage
and an ample supply of tact, all these quail
ties being dominated by as sound common
sense as ever characterized Maine Yankee
lie Is, moreover. sturdily honest and studi-
ously just man. He doesn't prattle constant
ly Of his impartiality. as Mr.. Carlisle did,
nor does he use so much ''soft sawder' In
his intercourse with members, but he is
always striving to deal fairly with all, and
If less courtly than Carlisle. he is more good
natured. His common sense leads him to
break. down the crusts of prejudice and
system Of Congress awkward, uncouth. and
inconsistent, and he has successfully in
augurated better, clearer and more whole :
some method, which will last after a good
many democratic Speakers shall have sat
In Mr.. Reeds chair-if that party is at all
wise. Mr.. Reed succeeds because he at
tempts only what ought to succeed, and he
does not make puppet of his party, but
his party is shrewd enough to follow his
lead and stand s0lidly behind him, for its
own good. This is all there is to it. and no
more is needed to explain the power of one
OF the most notable men in this country.
Those who consider the Maine man a sharp
and tricky politician, dc not know him. No
man in public life has a more sagacious or
19stter informed political philosophy than
inomas Is. Reed, whether it be as to the
administration of the rules of the House, the
Iunaamental principles of legislation or the
proper policy of the party. And so it han
pens mat the republican party in the lower
trim than it is TODAY. wv 'n oo''oi
