OF THE speech delivered By Senator

can colleague, Mr.. Stewart, described as one
the effect of the enforcement Of which Woulo
he tbs determination of the white race in
the South, the Washington Post says IL was
sdspassionate in lis argument and logics! In
its cor struction," and that Mr.. Srooner, ny
il. covered the whole field ably and forc'-
Si,:n ard finally, that by Mr.. Spooners
ubrosd treatment OF the southern question,
aod his mastery presentation of the prob
lem which must be met sooner or later ne
proved himself statesman OF scholarty ana
judicial mind" On the contrary, the speech
was passionate in Its argument and iiiosi-
Cal in lis construction. Mr. Spooner only
covered one part of the 6sld, and that part
only iuperfectly, and dis treatment OF the
southern question was narrow and sectional,
and proved that he is nos scholarly, nor
any other ecri OF statesman, END that his
mild is anything else than judicial. Mr..
speoner's brains ore Incapable OF compre-
Eending the idea that though majority
uey have the power TO do what pleases 1t,
i. mag not have the right to exercise that
power in ether words, Of understanding
the difference between power and right
lime. SDoouer and the editor of the Post
were compelled to live for only short time
ia a community governed by the rule OF a
!. negro majority, what thick scales would

THE FACT that from the 81 of August
1887 to The FIRST of the current month the
Harrison administration bought $500 900 GOO
government bonds, paying for them S4l6.-
600 COO. thuu giving the rich owners of those
bonds not only the par value thereof, though
thew bought them greatly below par, but
the enormous bonus OF $50 900 600 besides,
only adds another to the innumersble IL
stances that demonstrate the incontroverti-
tle other fact, that the government aa now
administered is for the benefit of the few
rich st the expense OF the many poor.

,eption of the very heavy ones, should
De taken into a yard or room with open
windows, choosing a day when the
wind Is not in the direction TO blow
the dust into the room. Take each
article 10 the open window or in the
yard, and with a bristle brush clean
out as much dust as possible. The
above, 10 be sure, is only for such as
are upholstered in plush or any goods
with pile. To clean haircloth, If
possible, take into the air, and with q
light switch beat out the dust, after
ward wiping the dust on the surface
with q damp cloth. Wipe over the
woodwork with a damp cloth, and if
there are any dents in it, place on the
dent several thicknesses Of wet blotting
paper and TO this hold a warm fatiron
until the paper is dry, and, unless the
dent is very deep one, this one trial
will remove il.
When the woodwork Is thoroughly
dry, take some warm Hnseed oil and
with q soft flannel cloth rub il well into
the woodwork, using a very little oil
and good deal of strength. Rub it
over with a soft silk cloth or chamois
Gather TO obtain a nice polish.
1t 1. claimed that stains can be re-
moved from furniture by washing it in
vinegar, then rubbing the stains with a
soft flannel dipped in spirits of salt.
When the stains are removed rub with
warm hnseed oil and polish with a
piece of chsmois. White spot. can be
removed by applying alchohol.
IL requires only 8 little 10 remove the

those who are nursing, or watching
with the sick, but they will be found
to give great comfort TO anyone who
has tired or lame feet. Rip the soles
from pair of old slippers, knock the

Peculiar Admission Rates.

The arrangements for paving the
price of admission to the Paris eNhibi-
ton are somewhat peculiar. All tick
cts issued are Of the value Of one FRANC
or 20 cents each. On week DAYS, from
5 to 10 A. NJ, two separate tickets
must be presented 10 obtain the right
Of entrance. From 10 a. VI. till r.
NJ, single ticket is sufficient. After
6 P. NJ, two tickets are necessary. On
Sundays the same arrangement for
morning visits Is adopted, but from 10
A. NJ. single ticket viii serve. The
regulation Is fairer than was antici-
pated, as it is possible to spend twelve
hours in the ey-ihition and enjoy the
evening fetes ~ cents. Few will
object to paying aIi extra franc to have
the advantage of seeing the objects
when the galleries are less crowded.

eggs beaten ssiff with three tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar. Bake till the

Convenient Salads. Small potatoes
not suitable TO cook with larger ones

pour over two or three dessertspOon-
fuls of oil, or melted butter can be

stripe. This may be done with single

A particularly rustic and charming
Effect can be produced with the stems
Of the grapevine and the five-leaved
ivy or woodbine. The former should
be about as thick rs a slender finger
and cut into lengths of ten inches, that
they may be easily handled, and holes
eau then be made with a penknife
about an inch from each end of the
pieces. a piece Of steel hoop is then
passed through these holes and the
ends burned to make them bend, that
il may be fastened. The distances
should be evenly arranged, and another
piece of hoop passed through the upper
ends in the same manner, breaking OFF
the steel so as TO make the basket thir-
teen inches in diameter. The sticks
should be two inches apart, and three
more pieces of hoop should be put at
equal distances from top TO bottom,
that the weight of earth may not split
the sticks. Pieces of hoop are then
fastened across the bottom, and vines
IF the tive-leaved ivy are woven around
the hoops at the top and bottom of the
basket, and, also, around the middle,

three or four colOrs in one round. This
band l made about four inches deep.

gray, and as that color then gave out,

about an inch and half deep. The

Where Cents Are Not Circulated.

Il cannot understand why copper
cents are not circulated here" said a
bank teller in Memphis. Gone of our
largest retar dry goods houses tFed
to introduce them a year or more
ago, and sold goods at prices that
required their use, but people would
buy enough to make the five cent piece
come in for change. We ordered a
big lot of cents, expecting to get them
off, but it wouldn't work. Now, in
the North YOU have use for coppers all
the time in trading, and let me tell
you than the saving to the buyer of
small articles amounts to q neat sum
in the course of time. It's my belief
that one reason why the Northern peo-
pie are better of than we are is thar
they .uvv the odd cents which we give
away In clARnge."
