Press Notes.


gress has begun the noble work of re-
trenchment by knocking out the prop
osition to deliver at a Russian port the
grain given by Americans to help the
czars starving peasants. This is the
same kind of economy which in private
life finds expression in the contribution
of plugged nickels to the Sun lay morn
ing collection.-Detroit Tribune.
THOMAS G. PLATT cries out in agony,
Farewell to the republican party of
New YorkW 1t isn't as bad as that,
however. The republican party is all
right, and has a long life of usefulness
ahead. 1t is only farewell to Boss
Plat that the people have been saying,
but since he regards himself as the
whole party he naturally feels all broken
up.-Ne,o York Herald.
THE interest in Mr.. Blaine's health
seems to reach from pole to pole. Ev-
erybody inquiries anxiously for the last
bulletin concerning his recent attack of
indigestion. The reason is not far to
fetch. 1t lies in the fact that the peo-
pie of this country are divided into two
casses-thOse who are terribly afraid
that Mr.. Blaine will not be able to
make the presidential race next year,
and those who are equally afraid that
he will be.-Ibid.
IT is said by those who have lately
returned from Ohio that the atmosphere
of that state is very peculiar just now.
The smile on John Sherman's face is
broad enough to reach from Lake Erie
clear down to the banks of the Ohio
river and sunny enough to give the
farmers a second crop of wheat. On
the contrary the oaths of Foraker re-
semble the rumblings of big thunder
storm, and they make the air crackle
with electricity. Hence the climatic
disturbances in that once peaceful and
happy state.-Ibid.
WE have long held the opinion, with
which we become more thoroughly
permeated as the years roll on, that
this Professor Cooke is beyond all sort
of question the most extensive, far
reaching and imperlurbable humbug
that ever blinded and befooled Yer
mont. He is not myth; he is sad
reality. The State Agricultural Col
lege, on the other hand, is myth
There is none. A new summer resort
has been concocted for Professor
Cooke, called an experiment station
and farm" but it has been, is, and al
ways will be, as barren of practical re
suits as a hen is of immortality. Pro
lessor Cooke and his mythical college
became an obsolete joke years ago
-HardWick Gazette.
BRAZIL is passing through a perlot
of hostility against the Roman Catholic
church, and many churches in the new
republic are now without ministers be
cause the government refuses to assess
the people for the maintenance of thu
clergy. Disestabishment was feature
of the Mexican republic under Juarez
! and illustrates quite fairly the apparen
objections to uniting church and stat
in the government of modern repub
lie. In Brazil, it is true, the position
of the federal authorities is not so re
pressive, not so hostile, as was the at
titude OF the anti-clericals in the Frencl
or the Mexican republics, but the move
ment in the South American republi
has just begun and may eventually TAX
harsher form. -BOStOn Advertiser.

THERE is trouble in Morocco--a re-
bellion of the peasantry in the Tangier
province of that unciviized kingdom.
Great Britain, France and Spain are
each very much interested in Morocco.
England has sent squadron to Tan
gier, Spain is hurriedly following suit.
and the Paris press is bowling for the
dispatch of the French Mediterranean
squadron to the scene. There is no
law in Morocco except the caprice of
Muley Hassan, the sultan, and Muley
is a barbarian of the most pronounced
type. Recently he sent some ENJOYS
to negotiate with the inhabitants of the
oasis of Tout. The ambassadors failed
to negotiate, as the warriors of the
oasis scorned their overtures, and upon
their return they were ordered strangled.
The jealousy displayed by the powers
of the Old World is due to the fact that
Tangier commands the entrance to the
Mediterranean in a far greater degree
than Gibraltar does. For, whereas the
straits are nineteen miles in width OPP
posite the British stronghold, Tangier
lies at the point where Spain and Az
RIGA approach the nearest to one an
other, the distance from shore to shore
being about nine miles. Ships can
pass in and out of the Mediterranean
without coming within range of the
British guns at Gibraltar, but Tangier,
if held and fortified by European
power, would entirely neutralize the
value of the Rock, and control in the
fullest degree the entrance to the Med
iterranean.

WHY does the Argus and Patriot in
sst upon giving Judge Stanton and F.
l.. Laird, Esq, the exclusive honor-or
dishonor, as our contemporary esteems
it,-of prosecuting rum cases and receiv-
ing "blood money! therefor? Does
the excessive modesty of the alleged
"good man =" who edits the Argus and
Patriot impel him to withhold from
publication the name of his pretege,
Grand Juror T. j. Boynton? This
man has been prosecutor in sundry
cases for illegal selling andhas received
his moieties; he has had practically a
monopoly of the "drunk" cases, by some
sort OF conspiracy among the members
of the Argus ring, and out of every
poor unfortunate ground out by the gin
mills he has taken his 81 25 for first and
So so for the second offense. From these
poor wretches, cursed with an appetite
fostered by traffic the Argus upholds,
its protege has taken what is indeed
blood money"-money the victims
themselves needed for food and cloth
ing, money their wives and children
needed for the commonest necessaries
of life, and the Argus is thereanent as
dumb as an oyster. Mr.. Boynton's
moieties have been probably not far
from $260-nearly as great sum as
was received by the states attorney,
possibly larger sum than Mr.. Laird
has received, and no inconsiderable
part of the " blood" he has drawn has
dripped from the veins of drunkards.
BY some conniving, this class of cases
seems to have been reserved for him,
and into his palms tn red moiety drops
have chiefly fallen. Barring apparent
conspiring to put this business into his
hands to the exclusion of others, Mr.
Boynton had a right to sit in these
cases and a right to his moieties OF
"blood "-and his patron, the Argu,
and Patriot, had just as good right tC
hold him up to public execration as tt
represent Judge Stanton and Mr.. Lairt
as the sole and only recipients of "bloo(
money!"

THE New York Herald last Saturday
published exclusively startling story
of a revolutionary movement intended
to overthrow the government of Presi-
dent Hippolyte of Hayti. The revolu-
tionists have fitted out in this country
an armed vessel with all the latest APP
pliances. The plan of the expedition is
TO leave the United States unknown to
the authorities, and to proceed, with
two coal transports, to selected point
in Jamaica, where the main body of the
revolutionary party will be embarked.
A descent will then be made upon Port
au Prince, the stronghold and capital OF
Hippolyte, and an effort will be made
to destroy Hippolyte's navy and to cap
ure the forts of the city. When that
is done the revolutionary troops are tC
take possession of the capital and the
revolutionary party is to establish new
government. At the head of the new

WHEN the ramrods dance, the tax
payers must pay the fiddler" observes
the editor of the Argus, whose ideas on
the subject of ramrods and gun-cotton
are always entertaining, even though
not translucent. When the editor of
the Argus INDUCES in an editorial
dance, Faith, Hope, and Charity, and
Liudley Murray must set lie. Editor
Atkins ideas on the liquor law are
as quaint as his syntax.

MAMIE AyREs of Jersey City, ten years
old, is a unique specimen of youthful de-

claims that another child induced her TO set

from the hospital.

IT is a matter for congratulation that
the veteran Senator John Sherman was
last Wednesday re-nominated by the
republican caucus in the Ohio house of
representatives. 1t is to be applauded
because Mr.. Sherman reflects better
part of the republican party than does
Joseph B. Foraker, his opponent. The
caucus was highly exciting. The For
aker men are as mad as the proverbial
wet hen, and invoke maedictons upon
the heads of President Harrison and
Governor Mckinley.

THE Springfield Republican reminds
the apple of its eye, Mr.. Grover CIeve-
Ian |, that the hour has arrived and he
is the man. "Let him declare for the
complete abolition of the spoils system,
and return to the early practice of the
republic" If Mr.. Cleveland should
make such break, the Republican
thinks he would either receive the dem
ocratc nomination, or become the head
of new party. "By such declara-
ton he might not indeed start prairie
fire of enthusiasm" reluctantly admits
the Republican. Scarcely.

SENATOR PETER, the bearded Scion
from Kansas, has scheme which scin-
tillates with brilliancy. He introduced
bill last week to secure a government
loan of $100,O00,000 to the people of
Indiana. The people of that state are
"playing in tuff luck" the senator init
mates, and the scarcity of money has
resulted in the enforced mortgaging of
land. He would relieve this distress by
loaning S1O0,O0O,00O in treasury notes
on the mortgaged land of the Hoosiers.
Every one who accepts loan is to give
a promissory note for the amount, and
is limited in his borrowing to one-half
the cash valuation of his land. The
death of Senator Peffer's bill will
probably be painless.

The protracted dispute as to who
shall be governor of Connecticut is
ended. The decision of the Connecti-
cut supreme court in the quo aDarranto
case brought by Luzon B. Morris
against Morgan G. Buckley establishes
the title of Mr.. Buckley beyond further
dispute. The judges say, in their de-
cision, that while Bukeley's title is
valid, he is not the man who should be
occupying the position, and suggest that
if Morris will carry his case to the SUI
perior court, that court may examine
the case thoroughly, and finally pass
upon his right to the office. But as
Morris could not get through that pro-
gramme before the next election, the
Connecticut democrats will doubtless
drop the matter where it is, and utilize
their alleged wrongs as capital in the
coming campaign.

JAMES MEANS of Massachusetts, has
founded a new party, with Grover
Cleveland as the great and shining light
thereof. Cleveland and democracy, he
says, are two different things; he does
not want the democracy, but he does
want Cleveland. The new party is to
be called the Columbian party, consist
ing exclusively of mugwumps. Mr..
Means trusts that there will be republic
can Cleveland men, but, if not, the mug
wump-columbian combination can pull
the man of destiny through against the
world. THE democratic party is fore
warned" says the New York Sun. " 1t
must put up Mr.. Cleveland, the mug
wumpo- columbian candidate, on a mug
wumpo-columbian or Cleveland plat
form, or the mugwumpo columbians
will put him up on a separate ticket.
Cleveland and democracy are two dis
tinct things"

The wisdom Of Wives.

A man's;wife often knows more than
he knows about a great many things,
and while he need not lower himself
in her estimation by admitting hel
mental superiority, it is sometimes wei
for him to silently recognise her supe
rior intelligence and profit by it.
fhe is a wise man he will not be toe
ready to come into accord with the
opinions of his wife, but will affect
great deal of wisdom of his own, ever
though he knows that ne has none.
It never increases 4 wite'S respect tol
her husband 10 know that he Is her III
ferior in anything; and it certainly does
not increase her respect or her affection
to have him intimate by word or looF
that she does not know anything Il
all.
The Judgment Of the average Wom
an, regarding the disbursement o
money, is often better than that of the
average man. 1t is often better whel
it comes to spending money forldomes
tic purposes.
1t takes shrewd shopkeeper or mar
ketman to get ahead OF the average
woman, while market man VINO i
vet new in the business finds 1t easy tC
work off stale wares on the average
man, land 1.-THE most concerted man
might as we'll acknowledge frankly
that his wife can attend to most OF the
affairs of her own household better
than he can attend to them for her.
Women very often have the mos,
acute perception regarding business
affairs. There would probably be few
er failures in the business world II mor'
men would talk business" with then
wives instead of taking it for grantee
that women 'don't understand any
thing about business"
Many successful business man owes
his success to the keenness OF Judg'
ment of Il partner whose name aoeS
not appear in the firm name or shol
windows, and who is not supposed tl
have any connection with the business
and that partner is his wife, in whom
he is wise enough to contide, and
whose superior judgment, it Is to be
hoped, he properly appreciates
A daily exchange of confidence ano
mutual respect tor each others opln'
ions will do much toward making the
wheels of any domestic establishment
run along smoothly.

The North western Christian Advo'
cate prints the following of Lady Mac
donald:
A pleasant story is told of Lady
Macdonald, wife Of the late Premier
of Canada, who has long been an ah'
stainer. Another lady of high posi-,
tion met her at dinner one day, ana
was surprised to see that she took no
wine, and at length asked:
Ibid you not set out wine when
you entertained the Marquis OF
Lornew
"Neverw was the prompt reply
"But did you not feel that you must
apologize ?'
'"Certainly not. Wine is not a nat
ural beverage, and so should rather
come in than go out with apology"
This answer and that example led
the other lady to become an abs tainer
also.

Not Making Promises.-There's a,
least one lawyer in Detroit who has
his doubts about the immortality o
human affairs, and he is serious mal
with wife. 1t is his custom to pu,
on his office door, temporarily, notices
somewhat of this character:
"Gone to lunch; be back in half al
hour" =,
"Gone to court; back in three hours
"Gone out to see man; back IN ten
minutes"
and so on, as the circumstances may
require, and, as he is prompt man
callers are generally successful in wait
ing for him.
One day last week caller fount
this: ,
"Gone shopping with my wife; bacF
the Lord knows when."
The caller, being married mar
himself, didn't wait, neither did fou'
ladies who called, for they were going
shopping themselves.

How to Keep Butter Fresh.

Of the various methods for keeping
butter fresh, the Moniteur des Produits
Chimiques gives the following as the
latest discovery, and one that produ-
ces the best results: after having wash
ed and carefully wiped the butter with
linen, it is put into stone jars, no Va
cuum being left. These jars are next
placed in balm ma rie or a copper YES
sci half filled with water, which is then
heated to boiling point. When the
water cools the jars are taken out,
This is,all. 1t is known as the "Baln
Marie" method.

THE ONE THING NEEDFvr.

The tariff, the force bill and the silver
question are the three things in which
every voter IN Montana is Interested.
AS to the tariff, every man, rich or poor,
should feel that his individual rights
are infringed upon if the federal govern
ment takes one dollar more from him
than its necessities demand, to hand
over to some moro favored individual in
the east. He should resist such an I'M
position with all his might and con-
tribute his part toward the overturning
OF such a policy by voting to defeat Ben
jamin Harrison.
AS to the force bill, every man who is
a patriot will zee the danger to II in
situations OF enacting the measure
pressed upon congress by BENJAMIN
Harrison, which would man the polls
with federal marshals and troops, and
place it within the power of a political
organization to perpetuate itself in con-
troll OF the administration. Every such
man should vote for the principle laid
down 10y Grover Cleveland, who declares
that The administration and manape-
ment OF our government depends upon
popular will; federal power is the in
strument of that will, not it's master"
and against the champion of the bay-
onet, Benjamin Harrison.
Those are two propositions that an

THE Warhorse can't fool anybody
with those wooden-soled shoes that he
so tragically threw before his audience.
They are an article extensively used in
this country, and il the Warhorse will
look out OF the car window as he rolls
across Pennsylvania in a luxurious Pull
man, on his way to Washington a few
weeks hence, to close out his business
there, he will see hundreds of the pau
per laborers imported by his friend Car
negie trudging around in such shoes.
He can even see them in many places in
the Dakotas, and also on the feet of
thousands of market gardeners in the
neighborhood Of our eastern cities.
Better leave that sort of a fake to
George A. Sheridan, colonel, and try
something else.
