Mr.. JOHN RUSSELL YoUNG, the we'll
known republican journalist, who accom-
panied Gen. Grant on his tour around
the world, contributes to the New York
Press, an orthodox republican organ, an
elaborate review of the political situation,
to which that paper gives special promi-
hence. Mr.. Young is of the opinion that
the reelection of Mr.. Harrison is highly
improbable, and that the only man with
whom the republican party can enter the
next campaign with the least prospect of
success Is Secretary Blaine. In the course
of his article he makes frank admissio n
that the election of 1888 was carried with
Doodle. He says:
Mr.. Harrison cannot depend for re-
election upon the influences which gave
him office. The next campaign will not
be carried by money. There is spirit
abroad in those once invincible republic
can strongholds which all the money in
the treasury cannot buy or subdue. The
politics Of the future will have another
fountain head than Wall street.
The appearance of this article in the
newspaper conducted by Mr.. Hsrrison's
superintendent OF the census, Robert P.
Porter, is certainly very significant.

represented one of the large jewelry houses
in London, England His experience is
one which, TO say the least, is unusual, and
will be fully appreciated by the represent
tatiyes of American houses who have never
enjoyed the good fortune of similar oc-

Poor Ne.

The custom of pinninE papers on the
clothing of unsuspecting persons forms a
venerable April fool joke. In fact, it is so
time worn and shows so little inventive
ness that one is occasionally surprised at
finding it still considered funny. Some
times, however, even so ancient a pleas
antry takes an unexpected turn.
A little boy was deity pinning a bit of
paper to an old gentleman's coat when the
latter suddenly turned, saw him, and laid
a OBTAINING hand on his shoulder.
What's that you're doing?n he asked
gruffly. What are you putting that piece
of paper on my coat for;'
'For-for an April fool, SIR" stammered
the boy, too much confused to evsde the
question.
The gentleman suddenly marched him
along to a mirror in a shop window.
There" said he, look at your own
back"
On the boys jacket was pinned paper
of startling size, which certainly must have
rustled audibly as he walked.

politely, and the boy opened his lips for one
word. more humble than grammatical,

THE New York World has made the
following careful estimate of the cost of
the late congress:
1t will take all the gold and silver pro
duced IN the world fer four years to paw
the appropriations made by tie bilio
dollar congress.
All the wages of all the workers in
every protected industry for three years
All the wages of all the workers IN
1,005 cotton mills for 20 years.
Ali the wages paid IN 1890 wooden
mills for 40 years.
All the wages paid IN all the glass in
dustries for 10 years.
Our total wheat crop for 1890 will
only pay one third of it.
Our total corn crop for 1890 will only
pay two thirds OF it,
"God help the surplus?" 1t is God
help the working man.
In other words the tax paid by the toll
ing millions of the United States for two
years for federal and protection purposes,
is one billion for the United States and
and four billions for the protected. and
all this raised from the bone and muscle
of the country, the real tax payers. and
not on the accumulated wealth.
The wage worker, farmer or merchant,
and family of five, pays more toward all
federal expenses, than does Vice Presi-
dent Morton, mulli>miilionaire; more
than Jay Gould; more than Havemeyer
or Spreckles. or any of the other multi
milionares who have made their wicked
amount of wealth out of protection ard
other unjust and unequal laws.

World states, are Gods truths, undis

The Fur on Kitty,s Back.

The suspected pet is more frequently
than otherwise cat. Is the suspicion cor
rect? Nine times out of ten, in all proba-
bility, the answer Will depend upon the
like or dislike of the speaker toward the
feline race. But in such a problem all con
siderations of like and dislike should GER
tainly be put aside: for assurcdly no person
of sane mind would allow liking for any
manner Of animal pet to prove a source OF
danger to the children of the home. Is or
is not the fur on puss' back natural har-
Dor for disease germs? BY way of expert
ment confine the animal for Il time in n
room permeated with the fumes of tobacco
smoke till the fur becomes thoroug hly i'm
pregnated with the odor. Let puss take
an extensive out of door circuit, even on a
windy winter day, and then smell of her.
The result will show whether her fur is re-
tentive or otherwise.-Good Housekeeping.

Throwing Rice.

Throwing rice after departing bridal
pair is a custom as old as popular a
pleasant fashion has been for Il little time
in vogue of inclosing small portions of rice
in bugs made of japanese crepe paper and
passing these to the guests. When the
couple are leaving the house these are
lightly thrown, the paper breaks, and a
small shower of rice is scattered in much
more agreeable fashion than by the old
method. The bags can be made quite orna-
mental. If it is to be a pink wedding, deli
cate pink crepe paper, tied with tiny pink
or white ribbon, can be used. Or the bags
may be tied with two colors and passed
around in wide, shallow baskets, which
should be tied with a handsome bow of
satin ribbon.-New York Ledger.
