1t is said that the torpedo boat Bath

AFFECTs PICTURES.

The Chicago Tribune finds special
grievance with the MCKINLEY tariff in
the increased cost of material used in
the photograph business. This is put
as high as SO per cent. The advantage
is alleged to accrue entirely to Phila-
delphia monopoly. This may have con-
tributed freely to the campaign funds.
but the national elections are four years
apart, and that is too long recess be-
tween pictures. Then there Il a vast
host of statesmen who have been re-
tired by the MCKINLEY act, and what
but the work of the photographer will
there be few months later to suggest
that they have ever had an existence?
Then, in building up great men the task
of the press is immensely facilitated by
the imposing efforts OF the picture
makers. An interesting industry is bur-
dened and endangered.

Ar,EGIsLATURE IN PICKLE

The South Dakota legislature, on its
meeting next week, will have task
confronting it from which legislative
bodies shrink. 1t is of the order of the
standard puzzle, how to squeeze blood
from turnip. The treasury is not only
empty, but all the sources of supply are
hedged in. All the money that can be
gathered from the last tax levy has been
had and expended. In addition 100000
was raised on bonds, and has disap-
peared. The constitution will notallow
the issuance of any more bonds, and
the moneyed men are not swarming to
the front with full hands to keep the
machine in operation year OR so till
taxes can be had. and take their chances
of getting satisfactoryinterest. The gov
ernor foresaw the trouble and warned the
last legislature, but that body was busy
in devising ways to spend money and
gave no heed. The people voted down
an amendment to the constitution al
lowing the state to raise the bonded
debt to 100000. There are various
economical schemes proposed. some of
them radical; as, for instance, reduc-
ng the number and pay of the mem
bers of the legislature. Such schemes
always seem radical to the Legislators,
and usually absurd and impracticaDle.
1t does not appear how funds are to be
had for immediate purposes. The char
table institutions cannot be suspended.

FARwELL AND HARRISON

While the Republicans in the Illinois
legislature are putting up schemes on
the Democrats, they are having nice
little family jar in prospect, related to
the senatorial contest. Senator FAR-
WE'LL has been talking about the presi-
dent of late in a manner that admits of
no compromise. He has shown per-
sonal contempt for the Indiana man
that touches him On his most tender
spot. The senator expects the nomina-
ton of his party for reelection to the
senate, but the men who vote for him
will lose favor with the administration.
HARRISON has never liked FARwELL,
and now is reported perfectly furious at
him. 1t is not enough that the nomina-
ton is an empty one for any Repub-
lican. It must not be given to FAR
WELL. He must be rebuked in the
interest of the president. The issue
is made up. The nomination will be
used to slap HARRISON in the face.
FARwELL is on the ground. and has
money and all the agencies that infiu-
ence votes in Republican caucus. 1t
will be an interesting occasion.

PICKING AT BLAINE.

The eyes of many Republicans are
burned to BLAINE as the only choice for
Il Moses to save them, but there is little
of the beaming light in the eyes Of
the MCKINLEY element that was seen
when BLAINE was devoting himself to
footing the protection horn. Only the
direst party eXigency will force large
and conspicuous portion Of them to ac-
cept the Maine leadership. There are
symptoms of az open rupture, especially
in Pennsylvania. 1t is true that in the
closing hours of-the campaign BLAINE
was dragged to that state and compelled
to talk for QUAY's man, but his defeat
and a considerable part of the general
disaster is attributed to BLAINE.
One of their recognized organs now
asserts that they owe their defeat to the
''reckleSs assertions of Mr.. BLAINE that
the law had little value' to the common
people and none at all to the farmer.
There was no way to meet the declara-
tons everywhere presented to them
over the signature of BLAINE. Other
party organs, while not denying that
great damage was done the party by
the declarations Of the Maine man, dep
recate any attack upon him as an exhi-
bitiOn of feeling that can not be afforded.
They see no hope in the future without
his aid. The men who really believe in
the MCKINLEY system no doubt gener-
ally feel that they were badly treated
by BLAINE, and the Pennsylvania
paper insists upon uncovering its
bosom, and giving the public its views.
let them all have the floor.

bulk of this sum Mrs. Proctor hopes to
raise by lecturing.

NEW YEARS CALLS.

Ten or fifteen yeats ago every woman
who was in society" received New
Years calls. If she did not. she was
sure to be in mourning. In that case
little basket was tastefully attached by
black ribbon to the front door bell,
and in this visitors dropped their cards.
If woman had any sort of home, she
was in it and accessible. A group of
women did not gather together in one
house, but each woman with her daugh-
tiers remained in her own, loyal to her
household gods. New notices for the
parlor walls were worked in advance of
green hanked the framed funeral
Wreaths over the marble mantel ON the
right, and Love One Another" in red,
on the left. The hair-cloth furniture
was carefully busted, and the anti
macassars washed and fastened securely
with safety-pins on the chairs and
sofas. Roasted turkeys and hams Gov
cred with eggs and garnished with
cloves were spread out In the
back parlor. A favorte subject of
discussion at the local debating So
cieties was as to whether it was
right to offer wine to New Years call
ers. The wine generally offered was so
bad that it is difficult to conceive that
there was any difference of opinion on
the question. The head of the house
used to dress in dark gown with high
neck and long sleeves, and her daugh-
tiers in similar gowns of tighter shades.
Thus accoutered, they awaited their
visitors, who usually began to arrive as
early as 9 or 10 o'clock III the morning.
Every man who was in society" was
included among these. If man did
not make calls. he was sure to be in
mourning. In this case he mailed his
card the day before to all his female
acquaintance. On this, besides his
name, was usually printed the words
"a Happy New Year." set off with
divers designs and embellishments.
Calls were brief and numerous. Tie
inquiries of the. visitors always were
very full as to the number OF calls the
hostess had received OF expected to re-
ceive. The inquiries of the hostess al
ways were very full as to the number of
calls the visitor had made or expected
to make. When conversation became
oppressive the visitor was rendered
some of the roast turkey and ham, and
went ON his way rejoicing. All this
was very interesting custom, product
i've of high spirits and some intoxica-
ton. In those days New Years vows
of sobriety and chastity usually dated
from the second day of January. 1t is
too bad that New Years calls are no
longer fashionable.

BLAINE BURNED OUT.
A New Years Blaze Scorches tn
Letter Residence.

A New Years Blaze ScOrcheS the
Letter Residence.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. Fire started in
the house owned by Mr.. Letter, of Chi
cago. but at present occupied by Secre-
tary Blaine, shortly before noon to-
day. On the north side of the house
the portico and lawn were crowded with
piles of handsome furniture, rugs, pict-
ures and curtains. The Letter house
was one of the most handsomely fur
niShed in the city The damage was to
the house, for as soon as the flames
were discovered and the alarm turned
in the maids and the servants started to
work to remove the handsome paint
ingS and furniture and store them in
the neighbOring houses that were
opened up Hospitality at once. In this
they were assisted by the police and a
number of volunteers. In the garnet
were stored seven immense trunks
packed with gowns just from Paris.
Although they were in the room in
front of the back building where the
fire ragged fiercest. they were
uninjured apparently, as the
trunks themselves were closed and
waterproof. Mr.. Letter told reporter
that he had no insurance at all upon
his belongings in the house. Mr.. Blaine.
he undt rstOod. was insured. Most of
the paintings and other movableS in the
house. he said. were his own property.
although there was considerable that

that all the valuable things had been
saved. and the damage 10 tue moveabIeS
was mainly confined To the carpets.

FLAX CULTIVATION.

In colonial times and during the early
history of the republic, before the cot
ton gin was invented, the culture of
fax for its fiber was an important in
dustry in the United States. Most of
it in those days was manufactured by
housewives in front Of the domestic
hearth. When ELI WnTTNEY's inven-
ton made cotton cheap, the flax spin
ming began to decline, until at the out
break of the civil war there was very
little attention paid to it. The block
AIDE of Southern ports during the Rebel
lion and the destruction of farming in
the Confederate states closed the cotton
mills in England and Massachusetts,
and the acreage given to growing flax
for fiber in the North Increased almost
beyond belief. To-day the American
farmer has the stim illus of an enormous
protective tariff and the promise of the
highest price torhis crop; and yet, in as
far as we have any linen factories at all
in this country. they depend on Europe
for practically all their supply of raw
material.
This seems very remarkable when we
consider the large amount of fax which
is annually raised in the Western states,
the low price which has prevailed for
