MANAGING A BABY.

TgH SO, Made a Mistake. eg0o L
As the Michigan Central train was
coming to Detroit one day lat week
there was baby on board that cried
for two straight hours. 1t was not a
cry at teething or collie, but just the
whining sQuali of an infant vixen
that wasn't going 10 be suited any
how.
the passengers on that car could
neither sleep nor read, and at last a
red faced old gen tleman turned to the
mother and said:
Madam, II yOu would stop trottin 9
The life out of that young'un it would

He winkeh at the other passengers
as he reached out his hands for the
baby.
"rootsey- wootsey tum," he urged
and the infant opened one eve to io0k
at him, while it stiffened like q poker
and reared louder Than ever.

WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-All day Sum
day the life of James G. Blaine hung
trembling in the balance For more
than an hour In the forenoon hope was
abandoned and the end was momentari-

friends All stimulation was thrown
aside in the apparent imminent pres

of his illness-the long denied but now
admitted Bright's disease, the occasional
intervals Of delirium-the long hours
when he has lain incapable Of speech or
motion-all these facts are now tacitly
admitted. ~
Tho first crisis was reached between
10 and II yesterday morning. when a
sinking spell set In from which the
worst was feared. His family were
called round the bedside and his physi-
clans sent messenger after messenger

Democrats Praise II.

However strongly Democratic papers
In the South may cling to their party
creed and principles, 1t Ia noticeable
that few Of them have much to say
against the "robber baron" tariff, espe
cially In those centers In which the
industrial growth has been of such a
nature that the benefits of protection
are too apparent to be brought into
controversy. In other words they are
confronted by o condition and not u
theory-a demonstrated fact, not a
promise for the future. Such is the
case In the two Virginias, Alabama,
South Carolina and Tennessee and the
steady increase in Republican votes 10
those sections proves that protection
sentiment has kept pace with protec,
ton industrial triumphs.

une, leading Democratic organ

Picayune's own words so that there
can DO no misunderstanding on the
subject. This is what 1t says:
Although the treaty with Cuba has
been In force but q comparatively short
time, II has been instrumental In
bringing into the Havana tratiic several
steamers besides those regularly en-
gagged in the business of late years.
While previous TO the taking effect OF
the treaty the movement between this
city and Cuba was nearly altogether
one-sided, namely, confined to imports
from the island, the business since the
date OF the treaty has been quite as
brisk in the one direction as in the
| other,

Orleans to Cuba, as many thousands OF
barrels which are really shipped from

because the Havana ship from here
stops outward bound at the FLORIDA

IL Is worthy Of note, however, that
since the reciprocity treaty with Cuba
took effect there has been exported
from this port almost weekly several
thousand sacks Of -four, as well rs a
considerable amount OF corn. This
movement has kept steadily increasing,
