The Ant Pest.

Having had years Of torment with
ants, both black and red, we lighted
upon the following remedy, which with
US has worked like magic: One spoonful
tartar emetic, one spoonful of sugar,
mixed into a thin sirup. AS it evaporates
or Is carried off, add ingredients as need
ed. A sicker lot of pests would be hard
to find. Whether they impart the re-
suits to the home firm or whether all are
killed, l trow not. Certain it is they do
not pay US a second visit.
For ants on the lawn, a spoonful of
paris green, cut with alcohol and made
into strip with sugar and water, can be
placed on pieces of glass or crockery-
cover from domestic pets-and the
slaughter will be satisfactory.-Cor.

wages when the price went below SAG. so
a ton. During the past three years
there has been gradual decline in the
price OF steel, owing in the main to
overproduction, until at the first of June,
this year, steel billets were selling for
less than S23 ton; yet the scale had
been adhered to, and the workmen
continued TO draw pay on the basis OF a
minimum price OF 5000 ton for steel
billets. For months the workmen had
had tho advantage OF the company
in the matter OF wages, because of the
high minimum, and because also, of tho
increase OF the output OF the mills, made
possible by improved machinery put in
by TIE company at an expense which
added ID per cent. to the cost OF making
steel. Not only billets, but all classes
OF steel had declined in price, Mr.. Frick
said, the reductions ranging from 16 TO
% per cent. In the new scale reductions
in wages to meet the decline In prices
were proposed. These reductions
affected only 325 OF the $500 men, and
afnOuHteu 10 ABOUT 10 per cent, altnOuRn
under tho new scale, taking the increas-
el output into consideration, some of
these men would have been enabled to
earn more than under the new scale.
The pay Of the heaters helper was in
creased by the new scale, for instance,
from 81. So per day TO more than So. All
this shows that the steel makers simply
asked their men TO share with them the
decline in the price of their products, as
they had shared with them In the past
the profits Of the business. There Is no
politics In the question, and the pro-
tective tariff, except in so far as it en-
ables the steel workers of America to
earn nearly double the wages paid for
the same class of labor in England,
ought not to be dragged into the discus
sion. The leaders OF the Amalgamated
Association have declared, however,
that they do not object so much to the
wage feature Of the new scale as to the
provision that it shall terminate on Dec.
81 instead OF June 80, which is regarded
as declaration OF war against the
Amalgamated Association. The Demo-
cratic demagogues who are trying to
make political capital out of the affair
are beginning to realize that they ex-

the States carried by him in the last
contest, and also five votes in Michi-
gan. This is liberal concession, be-
cause it is more than doubtful if the
Democrats succeed in electing three out
of the five electors accorded to them.
Connecticut and New jersey are also
given TO the Democrats, although these
States may both be coniderod doubtful,
while West Virginia may fairly be
placed in the same category. But con-
ceding all this TO the enemy they have
but 1870 electoral votes TO 30 for the Re-
publicans. To insure success the Re-
publicans have to secure but - votes
from the three States classified as
doubtful, while the Democrats must
gain 43 of the 81 votey in the same
States to be assured Of victory. The
declaration of the Democrats that they
can win without either New York or
Indiana therefore falls 60 the ground.
Without those States they are in hope
less minority.
In other words, the mathematics OF
the situation are decidedly in favor OF
the Republicans. Breaks in what has
hitherto been known "a the solid South
are believed to be we'll nigh inevitable,
If the Peoples party develops anything
like the strength claimed for it by its lead
ers. On the other hand, Colorado is the
only weak point in the Republican phal-
anx from this cause, and that State has
but four electors. At one time it was
feared that fusion in Kansas would in
iure Republican chances of success,
and that its ten electoral votes were in
danger. The action of the Democratic
convention on the silver question has
removed the contingency, and the battle
will be fought on the old lines. A
sweeping Republican victory through
out the North Is the natural expectation,
and it will unquestionably be realized.

WHEN Mr.. Cleveland was nomin.
ated in 1884 and was elected by rea-
son Of the theft Of a large number of
votes which had been cast for Ben
Butler in New York, he was a resi-
dent of the western part Of New
York. After his defeat in 1888 he
removed to New York City, opened
an office in Wall street, and became
the hired lawyer of corporations and
of gold-bag monopolies. Neither that
fact, however, nor his steadily avowed
hostility to silver, which he would
demonetize If he could, seems to
ALLEVIATE from him the mass Of South
ern and Western Democrats who are
clamoring for 67-cent dollars and a
one-third conflscation Of debts. Are
these Democrats honest, or is Cleve-
land dishonest? There must be some
cheating somewhere. If during the
war men like Carlisle, Vest, Voor.
hees and Turpie had called on their
party to nominate Abraham Lincoln
NJ one would have believed them
sincere, and the question would have
been asked what their game was.
When the members from the free
silver State of Missouri, when Hatch,
Bland, Cockrell, Vest and the rest
OF them are for the gold monometal-
list, Cleveland, one is justified In
asking what it means. and whether
there is any principle or honesty left
in that Democratic organization OF
the South and West.

in New York. The first to desert
him is cx-State Comptroller Frederick

in the Democratic politics in that
State. He was Democratic State
Comptroller under Gov. Lucius Rob-

with Grover Cleveland's Secretary Of
the Treasury, Mr.. Charles S. Fair

be the last Of the business men Of
New York who will refuse to abandon
protection. He is the leader Of a

NEW YORK PRESS: At the time
when the tariff reform" administra-
tion Of Grover Cleveland was in
power strikes were more numerous
than they had ever been before. In
1SS5-1SS6 there were II, 145 strikes
- the United States. From 1881 TO
jS4, during Republican admins
tration, there had been but 10, 159
strikes From 1881 to 1885, under
Republican rule, 4S1, 900 persons
went out on strikes. In the first
two years Of the Cleveland admins
tration the number was 742, 149. In
New York from 1885 to 1887 there
were 5, $50 strikes. During the four
years preceding there were only 4 ,067.
At the end Of one year Of Democratic
rule OF the National Government
there were 1913, 071 persons in New
York out Of work on account OF
strikes At the end Of the first year
Of the present Republican admins
tration QSS9-1s9O) there were only
1884. The number Of strikes in
all protected industries during the
first year Of "McKinleyism" was less
by 200 per cent. than during the first
year Of the Cleveland administration.
These facts speak for themselves.

Figuring on the Future.

The Democrats evidently expect to
carry the election this year, il they win
at all, without the aid of New York and
Indiana. Is 1t possible for this to be
accomplished? The logic of tho situa-
ton says no in the most emphatic man
ner, but the mathematics OF the situation
should be considered before jumping at
conclusions. The States which have
already voted this year show that the
Congressional advantage gained by the
Democrats In 1890 was only temporary
ground-swell, and that when the final
adjustment Is made there will be no ma
terial change from other Presidential
years. The following table gives a con-
several States that may be considered
certain, one way or the other;

THE Mckinley law is responsible
for the strikes. Is it responsible for
the strike in the Northeastern coal
region in England? There over co.
600 people have been out for two
months. This has not only affected
tie coal miners but some hundreds OF
thousands Of iron workers, blast fur
nacemen, etc. In the Cleveland iron
district alone, says the American
Manufacturers correspondent, some
so, 900 persons are dependent on pub
lie charity. How far-reaching that
little Mckinley law is in the minds
of free traders.

THE way the South is ruined by
protection is seen by statistics. In
1880 the value of cotton goods manu-
featured in the South was S21, 000,-
600. In 1890 it was $50. 900, 900.
And the ratio is much greater in the
iron and other industries. The
South is the parent of the protective
system and the wisdom Of its course
is being seen in the great industrial

up In that business? H.
On the 30th OF April, 1887, r. G. Drum,
Adjutant General, sent a communica-
ton TO William G. Endlcott, Secretary
of War, in which he suggested that
number OF rebel flags captured by the
Union forces during the civil war, and
stored in the War Department. be re-
turned 'to the authorities Of the respec-
tive States In which the regiments which
bore those colors were organized, for
such final disposition as they may de-
termine."
The Adiutant Generals letter was re-
turned with the following Endorsement:

The moment this order was made pub
lie a storm Of protest broke over Mr..
Cleveland's devoted head. Loyal vet

attempt to toady to the survivors of the
lost cause" at the expense of the honor
and self-respect OF the men who had
fought for the preservation of the Gov

the 18th Of June, he revoked his APP
