English Views of Mckinley.

In England I'll interest in our No
vember elections was conferred in the
Ohio campaign, and the election of
Mckinley TO the gOverGorship on &
square tariff issue is received by our
British friends with every de:norstra-
ton of tic most lively disgust. They
seem 10 look upon the event as p dis
tinct grievance. and 10 regard Major
Mckinley As q iran adjusted by direct
personal hatred of their Own country.
Ii is rot unnatural that this should
be the case. but this view of the Mnjor
and his opinions is entirely untrue.
lie is looking at the best interest CT
the United States regardless of those
of all other countries. lie believes i'll
fostering OH own industries and in
building up here a consuming class
that will very speedily render our
farmers entirely independent of the
European market for their surplus of
grain and other food products.
Neither Major Mckinley nor any
other intelligent American desires to
see industrial establishments closed
and workmen thrown out of employ
ment, either in England or in any
other European country. The object
of our new tariff law was not to bring
about such results, but to keep our
farmers and wurkmen employed.
When 1t comes to a question whether
II own people shall have steady EN-
pIOyment at good wages. or whether
they shall be thrown out Of work in
order to accommodate foreign popu-
~lations, no one can wonder that every
true American takes the side of his
own country. 1t us create disturb
atces in other countries, but we a
not for that reason put a check upon
the development of our w indus
tries and the progress of Ii own
prosperity.

The defunct Southern confederacy.
IF which Mr.. Mills. we believe. WAS a
shining light. proposed to raise its
revenues by taxing the Southern
people. The confederate constitution

10 the customs revenues for the sup
port, in great part, ofthc government.
1t must depend upon its Own citizens.
1t must tax them, and not foreign
manufacturers.
Those who are familiar with the
history of the Southern confedcracy
will recollect that its financial affairs
became cntanglcd almost as soon as
the bogus secession government was
organized. The very men who ell
deavorcd to manage IFS finances and
to provide mean for the support of
the rebel government constitute a
majority of the democracy in Con-
gress to-day.
These are the men who ask the peO-
pie of the North 70 accept the mis-
chiet5us, impracticable aud disastrous
financial policy of the secession lead
ers, embraced in free trade, free
silver and unlimited taxation upon
the people for the support of the
federal department.
Mr.. Mills is a fit representative of
the real-spirit of democracy, and as
such he deserves to be elevated TO
the Speakers chair. If he is, we shall
see to what length democratic folly
will permit itself 10 run, unless it be
provided in advance by Mr.. Mills's
pledges hat he will coutine himself
for the present TO tie free trade

dangerous notions OF the eX-confed-
crate leaders remain Enacted upon
until the SCfid South is in full control
of the country through the election

may long be averted.

Advice TO HardworkinS Honsekeep.
ers: Don's Worry; ne Charitable.

Advice to Haraworking Honsekeep.
ers: Den's worry; ne charitable.
A housekeeper's duties r many
and cxhausting, and under the best
Of circumstances many times trying.
This is especially so of the nervous,
delicate woman. While there are es-
sential duties TO be performed in
every household a great deal of the
trouble arises from expecting too
much from ourselves and others. A
woman who wishes to make her homie
a happy haven of rest for husband
and children must have sympathy
and charity for the shortcomings of
every member of the household.
One may be untidy-a very trying
fault one must admit-ano;her indo-
lent, while a third has an irritable
temper. But is it any use to fret over
these daily trials? Far better throw
the mantle of charity I'VE faults that
cannot be remedied, and learn not to
expect too much. While extending
leniency to others it is well to do the
same toward ourselves and not exhaust
body and mind in endeavoring to do
the work of two or IhtcE persons.
How many women lose all the pleas
ure of home life in this never ending
effort!
"What is your idea of a perfect
housekeeper::' we one asked an aged
friend whose reputation as such was
well known.
The woman who bears in mind
that while it is necessary that the
house be clean and the table well
it is quite as necessary that
she should Keep her OWL heart and
mind in order, thus being able to
carry sunshine and brightness always
with her through all the trials and
annoyances of life. Such a woman
will never fail to keep her house in
order and make her family happy"
1t is then a lesson well worth study
ing, hat of not expecting too much
Of ourselves or others.-LddieS Home
