A Housewife,s Experience.

"Tea leaves are the best thing to use in
sweeping carpets, This is my belief after
trying various other things. They brighten
the carpet, keep down dust, and can be
swept up clean. My experience with salt
Is that it is impossible to sweep it all up,
and after it has been used for some time,
especially on Brussels, it gets into the car
pet and keeps it damp, so that on damp
days and when room is shut up there
comes to be distinctly unpleasant odor.
1t also rusts metal castors on the furniture.
The tea leaves should not be used very wet
or on carpets having very light colored
grounds, as they are liable to stain these" /"

PROJECTED TUNNEL THROUGH THE ROCKY
MOT-NTA ArNgq

The two main objects of the enterprise
are to obtain direct railway route from
Denver, Colo, to Salt Lake City, by which
the distance would be shortened $50 miles,
and to strike and work the many rich ore
veins which are supposed to run in vertical
lines through the mountains, as shown in
the first cut.
The number of mines expected to be
tapped is more than $50 These veins are
to be reached at depths varying from /, 200
to 4,44l feet below the tops of the mount
aims, thus enabling the miners to drive
their workings overhead, instead of climb
ing to the submits and working down
ward. Great advantages are also claimed,
both in taking care of the water and in
bringing the product te.she surface.

The Privilege Tax a Fraud.

The privil ge tax should go. 1t
stands as a menace to public enter
prise and development Of wealth OF
the State We arc opposed to a con
Vention, but If such a nuisance is
necessary TO get rid of the iniquity,
we are, for it. 1t is time men o
brains were. deVsing some means for
raising revenue by equal and just
taxation. Privilege taxation is the
demagog'5 method and is a iraud
and delusion. 1t is held up as
means of Tightening the burdens OF
the farmers and Iaborers by taxing
merchants, manufacturing indus
tries, etc., but it does not do it. 1t il
like the tariff, it's an indirect tax,
and com, out Of the land and labor
products, as every sensible farmer
knows. One item in the high privi"
lege list is sufficient to illustrate The
fact. When the big shows come
along they exhibit in all of the Ken
lucky towns along the lines for fifty
cents admission, and when they cross
over into Tennessee they charge Is
cents. Inquire the cause Of the dis
elimination and the Snowman ex
plains that it is because he is made to
pay $3.50 for the privilege of eXhib
itiDg in Montgomery county and 5000
if in the city. Now VINO pat
ronize the show most? Why it is
the farmers and labOring people, who
want some amusement and reCrea-
ton, and every mothers son of them
who can raise 70 cents is sure to at
tend. The attendance of two exhi.
billions is never less than $500 to 5000, |
leaving the show 5000 to 5000 for the
extra quarter charged to pay the
taxes. SO the shOwmans profits by
the tax and the people whose benefit
it is levied for pay it. Just 50 with
merchants tax, banks and every
thing else.
The policy of our. State Should be
to increase the revenue by in
creasing the wealth, encouraging de.
velopment and creating new taxable
property, increasing home consump
ton and production, making better
markets for the farmers and in
creasing the. value Of land. What
sensible man would invest $2jO,OO |
in an iron furnace if he is to be re-
quired to pay $4,000 year for the
privilege of mining smelling ore?
Who would put up cotton factory
if taxed $4,000 year, or a Touring
mill if it cost 81 goo year privilege.

Doctors will disagree. Mr.. Wat
terson says Gov, Hill is not response
BILE for Mr.. Cleveland's defeat in
New York. Mr.. Watterson goes so
far as to intimate that he has a per
sonal knowledge of the facts and
knows that Hill did all that was in
his power to pull Cleveland through
along with himself, and Mr.. Waiter
son is not much in love with Gov.
Hill, If we may judge from late pub
lications; aud it may also be said
what Mr.. Watterson don't know
about politics and inside Democracy
is not worth knowing. On the
other hand, here comes Col. Heating,
the able editor of the Memphis Com
merciul, and the most knowing man
in Tennessee journalism, except
Walter Cain, Of the lIeraldD and
most solpmnly declares that Hill was
aud is responsible for the defeat of
Cleveland in 1883, and for this reason
the Commercial argues that Hill has
no influence in the South and West
and "cannot, therefore, prevent the
nomination of the cX-president, nor
can he prevent his election, because
Mr.. Cleveland will have votes
enough without those of New York
to elect him"
1t is amusing, however, while the
Commercial is thus wildly proclaim
ing for Cleveland and raving against
free coinage, unfolding the East in
its demands for the gold standard, it
prints in the editorial columns OF the
same issue, with favorable comment,
extracts from Ex-senator Ingalls,
speech at Boston, in which he plain
ly told the people that the West and
South were combining on economical
questions; he said the West and
South know their power, They
know that if they unite, rs they are

England wants a gold basis. The
West and South are unanimous for
free coinage. They want a large in.
crease in the circulating medium,
and all that New England may do TO
the contrary cannot change this de-
termination"
Now, endorsing these expressions
from Mr.. Ingalls,, which are truths
well told, will Col. Heating explain
how Mr.. Cleveland is to be elected,
standing as he does with New En-
gland on gold basis, without the
vote of New York Furthermore,
