ton. There is passion for going to
some sort of convention, either polti-
cal, religious or commercial. Delegates,
wearing some sort of badge, parboiling
themselves in packed halls and opera
houses, enthusiastic over some patent
scientific methods of teaching or manag-
ing schools and SO on, often do harder
work than they ever did at home.
Then there is the camping out fever
which annually attacks the pater famil-
las. Shall we dare doubt on his return
home, scorched and SCARED from veno-
nous bites of red bugs, mosquitoes and
snakes, worn and wasted with privation
and toll, the sincerity of his lamenta ton
chat if only he could have remained a
month longer his enjoyment would have
been completeW Let the soft, spring
bed, the sleepy, willow chair, the delicious
aroma from the fragrant Mocha, the
daily newspaper make answer!
Not the least satisfaction derived from
our ''stay at home' will be the money
saved to purchase any little luxury which
hitherto we have felt unable to do. Let
us add to our library, subscribe for sew
eral additional coveted magazines and
newspapers. In shortlet our summer vo-
cabulary comprise these significant
words: "Home, hammocks, easy chairs,
books, magazines, quiet, comfort and
do as you please" An old song says:
Stay, stay at home my heart, and rest
Homeseeking hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Picked up Scraps.

Once called with a friend upon sick
person whose nerves had become so pain
fully acute through suffering that noise
tortured her. A screen door opened from
her room into the hall, and as callers or
members of the family passed in or out,
a quick, sharp slam of this door followed
close on their egress or ingress. The tor
ture OF the noise sent spasm of pain
across the sick woman's face, but she
bore it uncomplainingly, thinking it
more endurable than flies and mosqui-
toes, and no one had noticed or thought
to lessen this annoyance until my friends
kind heart and quick eye prompted and
planned remedy. She called for tacks
and cotton batting, and, making firm
little cushions of the batting, she tackled
them up and down the casing where the
door would strike, and the sharp slam
bang was instantly softened as the door
swung to. The grateful language and
glance of the sick woman made me wish
that l, too, had eyes that could see ways
to be helpful toward others.
Avoid the mistake of trying to do two
days work in one. An overworked wo-
man will seldom find out that there is a
sunny side to housekeeping.
At cert ain seasons the appetite of even
the most robust is apt to fail, and the
relish for meats and havy food to wane
This is all right enough, for animal diet
in warm weather heats the blood, tends
to headache, and is generally unwhole-
some, unless sparingly used. Don't be

Some Pretty Crib Quilts.

Editor Household Department:
have been making some beautiful lit
tie crib quilts for my baby. I took a
thin layer of the best quality OF cotton
batting and heated it as hot as possible
to make it light and fluffy. 1 put this be-
tween pink and blue cheese cloth of the
size of the crib. l tied them with con-
trasting color of worsted, and then after
turning in the edges, finished the whole
with button hole stitch OF the worsted.
They are very pretty and but little work.

Shall We Take an Outing?

Judging from some unmistakable signs
whereby old man Mercury decides that
$50 in the shade shall be his normal at
titude for some time to come the annual
question: ''Shall we take an Outing?"
forces itself for an answer.
I'VE canvass the question in solemn fam
lily conclave; the pros and cons are duly
considered-fnally our pocket books, as
swer the question with many of us in a
most matter of fact way. Let us see
whether, after all, we are not the losers,
but the gamers.
In these modern times it has come to be
a prevalent idea with nearly every one
that a vacation must be taken away
from home during thesummer. The feel
ing is one of unrest, induced by morbid
fashion of what our neighbors do. They
go away for season, so must we. Doubt
less ''the change" sought formay be ben
efcial in many cases, but for the mass of
our migratory popu alton who seek our
summer resorts the discomfort attend
ing the outing more than over-balances
all the enjoyment promised.
First, there is the worry and hurry Of
preparation, the extra sewing, some of
the dear ones of the family left behind to
shift for themselves, and the anxiety lest
those in charge Of the home place should
prove incompetent. Then, as the Journey
with all its anxious details is finally end
ed, long or short as it may be, and the
purse ditto (for we speak of those ofmod-
crate means) comes the slowing away Of
the family into the 9x10 rooms of an over
crowded boarding house. The children
are fractions. They quarrel with the chill
dren on the next floor. Their noise is
unbearab,e. The promise of delightful
ly cool breezes" is a failuge. The mos
quitoes are unusually tuneful, punctual
and punctuous, and the Elusive dream
that there is nothing to do beside the
sea shore or among the cool mountains
but ''eat, fish and Sleep" becomes an ex-
asperating delusion. Finally the awak-
ening comes, Visions of "home, sweet
home," with it's real rooms, it's soft,
spring beds, it's carpets, it's home-like
table, coffee for breakfast that is not
muddy, certain way of "doing as you
please" freedom from constrained con-
venalities and dress, place where the
children can be cross with no one else to
beannoyed by them, all loom up amonth
before the time to return to that Zone
spot on earth most sweet" Was it not

man will die in defense of his home, but
no one has been found to die in defense
of his boarding house"

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-05-01

Commander Alger has forced the recog-
milton of the colored soldier in the South
by recognizing colored Grand Army
Posts, and the resell is square split in
the Grand Army in that section on the
color line. Neither in the circle of
Union soldiers of the South, nor in the
circle of corrupt and characterless Re
publican leaders of that region, is the
colored man given chance to vote or to
advance himself; and the worst enemies
of the colored man in the South to-day
are the Republican leaders who sell out
and ostracize the colored men for profit
and then come North and howl about
the suppression of the colored vote.
Give the colored man chance in the
South. He never had half the chance
and never enjoyed half the peace, safety
and prosperity he enjoyed under the adj
ministration of Cleveland, and he will
never have peace, safety or prosperity
until the dregs of the carpet-bag thieves
who now rule the party there, are rem
dered powerless to ply their VOCATION

Tariff reformers are absolutely de-
lighted with the turn that affairs have
taken in the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House. Protection run
mad" is the only phrase that describes
the attitude of the majority on the tariff
question. The new tariff bill was made
on the principle of protecting every
party, and disregarding the claims of
those who will be injured by the pro-
lection granted to others. A man APP
preached the committee some days ago
with reasonable protest against heavy
duty upon material entering into an
| article Of domestic manufacture. He
was referred to the Republican mem
Der in charge of that particular part Of
the tariff bill, and was astonisheG
when the member said: 81 care moth
ing about the justice or injustice of youi
claim. The constituency whom | repre-.
sent demands protection on this article
and protection it shall have. I care not
what you may have to say in favor OF
admitting it free; but if you wish pro
lection for the firm that you represent
present that part of your case and I'll dc
what / can"
To a manufacturer who came in a
state of perturbation to protest against
the duty of 81 per ton upon straw, the
answer was: at is useless to talk about
this thing; the farmers must be pro-
tected"
The Democratic members are jubilant
They say that if this cannot open the
eyes of the people to the iniquity Of
protection nothing can, and there are
others who doubt that this will do it
Mr.. McMillen is especially delighted
with the madness of his protectionist col
leagues. He says that they are doinI
more to further tariff reform than coult
have been accomplished by any othe
means.-Justice.

Naturalization Laws.

The attention of the most intelli-
gent men of this country is being
turned to revision of the naturaliza-
ton laws. That they are defective in
many respects is evident to the close
observer. The act of investing an
alien with the rights and privileges of
a native born citizen is very grave
one, and should be exercised with
great caution That those whose duty
it is to confer this favor on aliens, are
not doing their sworn duty is plain
to be seen by any disinterested per-
son who will take the trouble to stand
at any polling district in this county
and watch the way those newly made
citizens are driven to the polls. Very
few of them know the responsibility
resting on them; and as for under
standing the laws of the country they
have sworn to defend, they know moth
ing and many of them care less, so
long as they can serve partisan pur-
pose. The following, which we quote
from the New York Saturday Gazette,
hits the nail ON the head:
'If it be necessary to pass immigrants
through sitting process on the threshold
of the country before they are permitted
to enjoy the privileges of life under
American institutions, it is even more ad-
mirable that little discretion should be
used in admitting such immigrants as do
join us to the rights of citizenship.
Everybody knows that the law which
requires five years residence as a
justification for foreigners to become
voters is too often dead letter, but the
sublime ignorance of many of the men
who before an election are passed
through the courts, for party purposes is
little realized. Scores of people are to be
met within the committee rooms at those
times who know no more of the form of
government, either here or in the place
they came from, than do the Amazons of
Dahomey, and they are incapable OF
judging what papers are put into their
hands when told they are finally admit
ted to citizenship.
Judge Daily has inaugurated an excel
lent system, which if generally adopted
would put stop to this evil. Before
granting papers of naturalization he re-
quires the candidate to show that he has
at least some inkling of the institutions
which he says he is ready to defend. 1t
is palpably inconsistent for an alien to
swear that he will support constitution
about which he knows nothing, and
Judge DAILY must be commended for
having the courage to try to remedy it.
But such precautions should not be left
to the discretion Or the good judgment
of courts. The naturalization laws need
revision. Some changes that could be
suggested may be open to discussion,
but it is not a question at all that the in
terests of the American people should be
protected better than they have been
hitherto. Aliens who are too ignorant to
write their own names might justly be
excluded from favors which place them
on an equality with the native born, and
/ whatever the laws and restrictions are
they should be rigidly enforced and pen
alties exacted in every case where they
are infringed. The attention of both
Congress and the State Legislature might
with much advantage be given to this
subject"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-05-01

The blatant partisan demagogues in
Congress are perpetually harping about
the wrongs of the colored people in the
South, butthey studiously avoid the facts
which implicate themselves and their
political followers in systematic wrongs
against the freedman.
While the House is busy turning out
Southern Congressman on the assump-
ton that the contestants would have
been elected if the colored voters had
been allowed to vote. Gen. Longstreet
announces in public letter that the rea-
son he did not vote the Republican ticket
and the reason that scores of thousands
OF other Republicans, black and white,
did not vote the ticket, was that the
party in the South is controlled by reck-
less traders, who, as General Longstreet
says, "sell the party to the Democrats
either by failing to put out candidates,
or by making nominations who will sell
out to opposing nominees, thus making
of their places sources of double rev.
enue." This plain truth from one whose
integrity is undoubted, tells the whole
story of the Southern election contests
There are 80, 900 colored Union soldiers
in Mississippi and Louisiana, but unit
within the last year they have been rig
orously excluded from the Grand Arm.

A RECENT decision of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania is of interest
to every property holder in a borough
or city. Heretofore the town or cor
poration has been held liable for dam
ages resulting from defective side
walks. The decision of the Supreme
Court makes the property holders di-
rectly responsible. In the case in
question a property owner in Brook
vile, Jefferson county, had been noti-
fed in the fall by the borough authori,
ties to repair his sidewalks. He
agreed to repair it so it would be safe
during the winter, and in the spring
to lay a new stone walk. He did
make a few repairs, but hole was
left in which a lady caught her foot,
sustaining injuries for which she re-
covered $4,000. In contesting the
claim the borough gave notice to the
property owner to come into court and
join it in the defense, but he neglected
to do so. After Judgment had been
recovered against the the borough, the
authorities brought suit against the
property owner. In the court of
common pleas the borough was beaten,
but the Supreme Court reversed the
court below, and directed judgment
against the property owner for the
full amount Of the Judgment and
costs.

The Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph, one of the most conservative
Republican organs of that city, defines
the new tariff bill as follows:
"The new tariff bill is one of the
worst and most offensive objects Of
class legislation ever proposed. 1t
shows a disregard of public interests
which is amazing. 1t imposes enor,
nous indirect taxes upon the country,
and it lays weight upon the Repub-
lican party which may crush it to GER
tain defeat when it again appeals to
the country. 1t is from first to last
a partisan measure, with a return of
fat in it for every specially protected
interest that in 1888 was compelled to
contribute to the Campaign Commit
tees fund If it is hung about the
neck of the Republican party, it may
destroy it.

at is not with extravagant promises
nor with any ebullition of vanity that we
present the first number of The New

readers this afternoon. And perhaps
we possess too keen a sense of humor
to imagine that we are to fill the usual
long felt want But we do present
this paper with the conviction that it will
enjoy an extended and a hearty life,
that it will bring comfort and entertain
ment to thousands of homes throughout
our great country, and that it will be a
remarkably complete chronicle of each
