Neatness is a good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she is
young, she never will. 1t takes great
deal more neatness to make a girl look
well than it does to make boy look
passable. Not because a boy, to start
with, is better looking than girl. but
the clothes are of a different sort, not
so many colors in them, and people
don't expect boy to look SO pretty as a
girl. A girl that is not neatly dressed
is called sloven, and no one likes to
look at her. Her face may be pretty
and her eyes bright. but if there is a
spot of dirt on her cheek, and her fin
gers ends are black with ink. and her
shoes are not laced or buttoned up. and
her apron is dirty, and her collar is not
buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she can
not be liked. Learn to be neat, and
when you hare learned it, it will al
most take care of itself.-Christian at

reciprocity treaty with Germany will
probably be announced at the coming
meeting of the German reichstag. The
details have been perfected and the
treaty has been made. but the German
minister asked the privilege of making
the first formal announcement in Ger

treaty are concessions to this country
on breadstuffs and cereals, no higher
than the duties conceded to Austria
Hungary by the new treaty with that
country. These duties are about one
half those charged upon similar prod
ucts from other countries Germany
makes these concessions in return for
the free entry of beet-root sugar.

Democracy Strengthened.

Viewed as whole, the result of the
elections throughout the country Tues
day was glorious democratic victory
Not only has the tariff reform party
held its own in those states which
have heretofore uniformly adhered to
it, but it has also routed monopoly in
some of it's principal strongholds-
In no instance has it met defeat, and
in most cases it has gained a victory in
the face of immense odds.
In New York Flower was elected by
a large majority in spite of the frantic
efforts of his opponents to make Tam
many an issue. In the republican
states of Massachusetts, and Iowa the
democratic candidates were conspicu-
ous1y successful. Only in Ohio and
Pennsylvania, those hot-beds of politi-
cal corruption, were the democrats de-
feated, and that by liberal use of
money where it would do the most
good.
Thus, in the four important states
which elected governors the republic
ans were successful in but one, and in
that one by slim majority. Had not

Poor Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has elected the repub-
ican candidates for treasurer and aud
itor by a fair majority, thus indicating
that the great mass of republicans of
that state care more for party than for
principle. and care little for fragrant
dishonesty in high public officers pro-
vided it be condoned by the action of a
partisan convention. Some falling off
there was from the normal republican
majority in the state. That was inev-
table because of the revolt of Phila-
delphia republicans. But this is faint
cheer for those who hoped for the
renaissance of honest politics in a state
around which cluster SO many mem
cries of much that is ennobling in our
national history. Quay and Cameron,
backed by the corruption funds drawn
from protected manufacturers, still

The "Tammany Tiger" Issue.
New York is overwhelmingly demo
cratic. Roswell P. Flower has carried
the empire state by a large majority
over the republican nominee, J. Sloat
Fassett- The comparisons made in
the dispatches are with Hills plurality
in 1888 and gains are shown every
where throughout the state. Mr.. Fas-
setts campaign was made largely on
the ''Tammany tiger" issue. This was
designed to stir up the rural party of
the state against the metropolis. This
plan of campaign, however, has prove n
signally unsuccessful. Flower has
gained more relatively in the country
than he has gained in the city, and has
made a remarkable race. The efforts
to stir up dissatisfaction in Kings coun-
ty was also failure, for Kings county
gave the largest democratic plurality
that it has given in many years.
The New York victory is clear and
decisive. 1t places the state casting
the most electoral votes securely in
the democratic column.
