THE HON E.
THE SEWING MACHINE.

In cleaning sewing machine you need
small screw-driver, stick about the
size of a lead-pencil, with long, slender
point; piece of cotton cloth and some
kerosene oil. In taking machine apart,
says writer in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, do not go at it in a haphazard way,
removing a screw here and pin there,
but commence at one side and work tow
ard the other side, taking off everything
as you go that needs cleaning. Have a
table at your side with plenty of room,
and as fast as the pieces are removed lay
then on the table as nearly as may be in
the order they came off, the first pieces
ON the further side. Leave sufficient
space between the different parts and
groups of pieces so that they will be no
danger of getting them mixed, and be
particularly careful not to lose any of
the small screws, for they are frequently
of such thread that you cannot easily
get duplicate cut.

FTHE CAPT. PRATT SHOULD COME.
How would Portland meet the Gillian Iron

Guns needed on the Cape Elizabeth
Shore.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor of the Press:
For some years past, the attention of
the country has frequently been called to
the unprotected condition of our coast
cities. Each time that the question
comes up, the patriotic citizen leans back
in his easy chair and says, ''We'll fix 'em
with torpedoes.'' Then he turns to
another page of his newspaper.
Let us see what cause he has for this
complacency. Is every coast city provi-
ded with a set of stationary torpedoes
sufficient to close every available en-
trance? Is there large stock of nova
BILE torpedoes on hand? Is there detail
of skilled men especially drilled in hand
ling these destructive agents, and are
they kept in practice with dummies SO
that there will be no hitch when they
have to play torpedo in earnest?
Undoubtedly all these arrangements
have been made-on paper. Charts are
on file showing, in blood-red ink, the
position of every torpedo; dotted lines
show the proposed location of submarine
mines. Here and there on the shore are
drawn geometrical figures showing the
proposed stations of sending out Lay or
Whitehead torpedoes.
These charts look very formidable.
How about the actual harbors which
they represent? Starting with nothing,
can this elaborate system of defense be
put in complete working order in the ten
or fifteen days that separate us from the
CHILEAN cruiser Captain Pratt for in
stance?
If it can, perhaps we are safe; and in
the unlikely event of war being declared
with Chill, we may go to sleep with no
other fear than that the baby will wake
up.
What is torpedo? Nothing but an
explosive charge in water-tight case. If
the charge is of gunpowder, it does not
have so much of that SCATTERING effect
that is particularly desirable in matters
of this kind. Nitro-Glycerine, Nitro-Gel-
atine, Gun Cotton and Dynamite have
that effect Their fault is that they are
all extremely sensitive to conclusion,
and the explosion of good sized torpedo
near by will cause them to explode by
defamation. Gunpowder detonates as
we'll, but would require much larger
charges of explosion to set it Off.
Suppose we fill our harbor with torpe-
does. There being no heavy guns to keep
her off, an enemy's cruiser will slowly
steam towards us while skirmish line
of her launches, fitted with torpedo
booms, runs some distance ahead of her,
exploding decorating charges under Wa

Voters should bear in mind that after
this week there will be no opportunity to
get their names on the voting list until
within six days of the Spring election.
At that time there will probably be a
rush, and consequently there will be
much delay and very likely the time will
not suffice to put on the names Of all
those who may apply. For this reason
every voter who possibly can should get
his name on this week. 1t must be re-
membered that the fact that citizens
name was on the old list, or the fact that
he is well known, or even the fact that
he has voted in this city for twenty or
forty years past will not avail anything
on election day. His name must be on
the list which is now being prepared and
the only way he can get it there is to ap-
pear in person before the registration
board. The board has done all in their
power to accommodate the public and
make the work of registering easy. If
the name of any citizen does not appear
on the list it will not be the boards fault
but of the voter himself.

The question raised by the assault up
on the sailors of the Baltimore, is largely
one of fact. If our sailors went ashore,
got drunk, and afterwards got into a
fight with the roughs of Valparaiso, and
the police did their best to suppress the
disturbance, as the Chilians assert, then
the Gillian government ought not to be
held responsible. If on the other hand
the sailors of the Baltimore were assault
ed for the acts of their government, and
the police joined in that assault or made
no serious effort to arrest it, then the
Chilian government is responsible. II
the matter is to be submitted to arbitra-
ton as the Chilians suggest, then this is
the first and indeed about the only ques-
ton to be determined. But the Presi-
dent has distinctly and unequivocally
declared that this government is satisfied
that the assault was committed because
of hatred to our government and because
of that alone, and that the CHILEAN police
aided it. This is the basis of our
ultimatum to Chill, the foundation of
our entire demand. How we could sub
NIT that question to arbitration without
virtually acknowledging that the found
alton of our present position is doubtful,
and consequently that our unconditional
demand for apology and reparation may
be unjust it is difficult to see. The nature
and amount of reparation might be sub
mitted to arbitration, but it is hard to
see how the question of the nature of the
Valparaiso assault could be.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ~.

The defeat of the Tory candidate at
Rosendale is the worst blow that has yet
been administered to the government in
the bye-electon. The majority of the
Liberal candidate is about as large as
that of Lord Harrington at the last cleo
ton. The Tories themselves are con-
strained to admit that their defeat is one
of great significance, and the Liberals
with good reason claim that it indicates
with almost absolute certainty Liberal
triumph at the next general election.

The Argus agrees with the PRESS that
it is practically impossible TO reform old
topers by legislation. But that is about
the only class that licenseis calculated to
operate upon. Under existing license laws
the people to whom the saloon keep
er is forbidden to sell are drl,nkards and
men who usually drink to excess. He
can sell to the man who never drank be-
fore or to the man who has not fallen I'M

that his relatives feel obliged to notify
the saloonkeepers that he is an irrespon-
sible person then the saloon keeper is for
hidden to sell him any more. Every ia
cility is furnished the licensed rum-shop
to make drunkards, but when they are
made then the law steps in to protect
them from the drink habit. by shutting
off the supply If anybody can conceive
of any more absurd and Illogical way of
diminishing drinking and drunkenness
than that we wish he would mention it.
1t is the fashion to sheer at prohibition
as an impracticable device to reduce
drinking and drunkenness by cutting off
thesupply of liquor; but the very men who
do this do not hesitate to advocate plan
which relies upon cutting off the supply
just as much only with this difference,
that their plan does not begin to operate
until the drinker has lost all control of
himself and is a fit subject for treatment
at a Kelley institute. Then an attempt
is made to reform him by cutting off his
supply of liquor.
If the dispatches from Santiago are
true the insanity of little republic of
scarcely 3,000,0 900 of people, with scanty
resources, and with hostile neighbors
only waiting for favorable opportunity
to pounce upon her and take revenge for
punishment inflicted upon them, going to
war with great nation Of 100000 has
at last clearly dawned upon the Gillian
government 1t has all along been ex-
ceedingly difficult to believe that the in
telligent men who compose that govern
ment would risk war, though some of
their performances were well calculated
to provoke one. The great danger has
been that the people, who are hot
headed set, and whose estimation of their
own military strength and prowess has
been greatly inflated by their conquest of
Peru and their overthrow of Balmaceda,
might override the pacific intentions of
the government and insist on fight.
There are some signs that the attitude of
the populace has been to some extent
embarrassing to the government, and that
the latter has been trying to invent some
device by which they might satisfy our
government without at the same time STIR
ring up their own people to dangerous
pitch. The demand for the recall of
Egan was, we are inclined to think, a de-
vice of this kind. Probably for no other
reason than that he was the representa-
tive of this government and the medium
through which orr demands have been
made known to Chill and the Chilians
Mr.. Egan has become exceedingly dis
tasteful to the populace of Santiago and
Valparaiso. His recall therefore would
appear to them to be a big concession on
the part of the United States, and no
doubt they would hail it, and especially
if it were brought about by the demand
of Chill, as great triumph. A satisfac-
ton of our demand after that would prob
ably make little impression upon them.
1t would not be surprising if the govern
ment had this idea in mind when they
demanded his recall, and that the de-
mand was really device to let them
selves down more easily and with less
danger of mourning the hostility of the
people at home.

There was largely increased attendance
upon the chrysanthemum show at Catholic
Library hall yesterday and last night.
The fact Is beginning to be made known
that Savannah has a chrysanthemum ex-
hibition that is worth seeing. On account
Of the increased interest it has been suggested
20 the ladies in charge that the show be
continued tomorrow night
The children of the Episcopal Orphans
Home had their turn at the show yesterday
and were given view of the chrysanthe-
NUNS and sfterward treated to refresh
ments.
The girls of the st. MarY's Home had
their treat Wednesday afternoon. The
children owe their pleasure to a 8uhscrip-
ton of $50 by gentleman whose name re-

Jones, Miss Cosens, Mrs J. NJ. Bryan, Miss
Gleason. Mrs. Lynch. Mrs. p. Barrett, Miss

The ladies deserve great credits for the
part they have taken in the exhibition. They
not only paid entrance fees for themselves,
but also purchased tickets for the clergy
and representatives Of the two asylums.
The Gesang Verein Froshsinn furnished
the musical entertainment for the show last

Tour Of the States Contemplated.
The Company to Go Representing

Aid In Defrayin2 the Expenses.
The Georgia Hussars will go to Cleve-
lands Inauguration next March. They had
decided several months ago that should
Cleveland be elected they would go and
represent Savannah, and when the news of
his election was definitely received the Hue-
sars were more determined than ever.
An enthusiastic meeting OF the troop was
held last night, at which it was finally de-
oided that 1t would 90. The situation was
thoroughly canvassed and Lieut. Minis
moved that the troop 20 in full dress.
which, by the way, is said 70 be the hand
soonest In the United States. The company
will take fitting team, and il is their pur-
pose to try and arrange for an exhibition
tilt with Troop A Of New York, the Phila-
ielphia City Troop or the Essex Troop Of
Newark. n. j., IN Washing ton
In case this fails of con-
summation the company will
give du oAulDltlOn uElll bulOuZ themselves.
The proceeds from the tilt will be devoted to
to the armory fund. The company will OF
course be in the inaugural procession, and
the proposed tilt will be given the day after
the ceremonies.
Savannah has not been represented at an
inaugural by any organization for a number
OF years, but on the next occasion it will be
tittingly represented by one of its crack
companies. II will cost a lot of money for
| the troop to go to " ashington, as it expects
to go forty strong with forty horses. Every
loyal Savannah democrat and citizen
will want the city to make god showing,
and, therefore, will be willing to help make
it 50. The Hussars will consequently ask
citizens to help them in defraying ex-
penses, and they feel confident that
there will be a liberal response
from those who are R5undantly able 20 help.
At the meeting last night Capt. Beirne
Gordon was authorized to appoint COM
mittee to commence Immediately a canvass
for subscriptions. He hes appointed the
following members Of the company on that
committees: Lieut.. Gaillard, chairman

Should the Washington exhibition tilt
prove success the company will probably
make a tour of several northern cities next
summer and give similar exhibitions The
company has regular drills every Thursday
night now III which all the members tax
great interest and which will make them
thoroughly proficient by time the Wash
