RepubIlcanIsm Aroused.

A fact o. tremendous Importance
in the existing political situation is
the marked revival of Republican en-
ergy and enthusiasm throughout the
nation. The evidences OF this are un-
mistakable. They are apparent in
every State. Every convention af-
fords gratifying proof of the harmo-
ny and confidence with which the
party looks forward to the contest
before it. The utterances of Republi-
can leaders and newspapers reflect
the feeling of the masses of Republi-
can voters. They Indicate that who
ever the candidate named at Mime
apolis may be he will have behind
him the unanimous support of the
party that has won seven out of the
last eight Presidential elections.
There rs ample reason for Republi-
can confidence. The Democracy,
which rode into power i'm the House
of Representatives on tide of false
hood, is to-day divided aud disheart-
ened. The partisan lies about Me
Kinley prices, once so effective, have
recoiled upon the heads of their in
ventors. The people have found
that the Mckinley law has resulted
in lowering the cost of almost every
domestic product to the consumer,
while under its operations our home
market has been made secure, our
industries have taken fresh strides i'm
development, wages have been high,
work plentiful, and our foreign com
merce has reached proportions never
before equaled. The administration
of President Harrison has been wise,
sound and patriotic. 1t has main
tanned the honor of the nation
abroad and stood, an impregnable
bulwark, for protection and honest
money at home 1t has made both
its party and the nation stronger.
The party ofnegation and obstruc-
tion, the party that never originates
an idea or proposes n constructive
policy has surpassed its own record
for laundering and incompetency by
its performances for the last few
months. The Democrats with $50
majority in the House, have not
passed a single important measure.
They have framed two leading bills,
one of which strikes at the life of che
great American wooden industry, and
the other of which would reduce the
value of the workman's dollar 80 per
cent. These stupidity destructive
measures fairly represent thepurposes
of the Democracy; and even these
they have not been able to pass.
Republicans are right in believing
they can make 1892 a year of victo-
ry. Thenation has had opportunity
to see the free traders and the
"cheap" money fanatics in control
of one branch of Congress; and the
exhibition is enough to insure anoth-
er four years of Republican rule.-N.

Use and Misuse of Flowers.


AS our people of the best taste
know, the tendency in decoration to-
day is to over-decOrate, until sim
plicity in her more Quaker-like refine
ment, has unfurled her grey wings
and flown far away.
From the dews of the ancient Lo-
| tus-blossom, flowers have been the
keynote of OrnamentatiOn, until the
present climax is reached, i'll their
luxurious bloom upon ceiling, wall
and floor; in frames and out of
frames; in cOnventionalized disorder
upon upholsteries, and tiled fire.
places. Verify, we live in rose jars,
| and our best rooms are pot-pourries
| of flowers.
What are our florists doing with
the thousands of roses whose dispos-
al they count upon, with the surity
of q wheat or potato trop? Can any
one estimate the buds that are
worked into balls, bells, four-leafed
clovers, arches, fans, crosses, crowns,
wreathes, gates-a-jar and what pots
of stiffest design? Poor buds, shorn
of every green leaf and wired to a
short-lived existence of massed
bloom, their natural grace and dis
tinctive beauty, all gone.
A bride is charmingly surrounded
by waving palms and Towering
plants, but what Il graceless parody
on a tasteful application of true art,
is the stiff bouquet in her hand, or
the ball or bell of packed blossom
swinging above her head.
"Peace and Rest" may lie before
us, in the casket, but are we such be-
ginners in the Art kindergarten that
to express this truth we must have
before our eyes, "Rest," as IL pillow,
labeled "Peace" in colOred Immor-
telles?
1t is the pleasure of a flower-loving
church to so trim the pulpit that

flower booth of fair A harp or
cross is often the center decoration
fastened securely to the pulpit front;
and curving from it on either side,
is a semi-circle of small stands, hold
ing bouquets; wonderful bouquets of
mixed and rankest coloring. One
small Towering Hydrangea, obscure
ly placed, is the only antidote in
this tasteless display. How much
true art would have been abetted,
had the clergyman been less wary in
in his gestures, and toppled over the
set bouquets, leaving but the
Hydrangea, its fiower-balls blushing
modestly, in the half-hiding foliage
of deepest green.
The interior of a comparatively
new church is gold and dead red in
effect. Judge of the propriety in
flower decoration, when the harmo-
ny in coloring is preserved, by a sim
pie bunch of yellow chrisanthemums,
in-vased at the left of the pulpit desk,
while on the other corner of the Com
munion-table, is laid careless hand
ful of the same frilled flowers in old

What the Tariff has Done.
GOVERNOR MCKINLEY TELLS TWO coon
STORIES.

Speaking of the amusing incidents
caused by the new tariff. said Cover
nor Mckinley recently:
"It is funny about macaroni. Now
didn't know much abodt it, and
when the question came UP in com.
mittee as to what we should do with
1t, suggested that we do theregular
thing, the same as we did with
the pearl buttons, ehickory, silk and
tin.
What was that?"
"Why, let the raw material come
IN free, but put a protective tariff on
the manufactured article and bring
the manufacturer to this country.
But, some one said, why, the raw
material for macarOni is wheat: and
think, said the Governor smiling.
what a silly thing to send American
wheat to Italy. sell it for two cents
per pound and then buy it back
made into macaroni and sell it for
SIX! SO we put a protective tariff on
manufactured macaroni, and low
and behold, | have n list of seventeen
macaroni factories in America, and
they are now making better and
cheaper macaroni than we used to
get from Italy"
And the pearl button bugaboo
that used to keep the New York
Times Mugwump up nights. "What
of that?' | asked.
" Why, we've got fifteen pearl but
ton factories in this country now,
one of them away out in Omaha,
and they are paying American wages
using better machinery and selling
American pearl buttons to the peo-
pie as cheap as ever. In fact, as with
plate glass, we've overproduced pearl
buttons, and now the manufacturers
are talking of pearl button trust.
Think of a pearl button trust in
America when year ago the Mug
wump said we never could make
them "

man in America to day. He is proud
Of his work and believes the tariff is

Foreign Markets for our Pork.

For years American pork and beel
have been under the ban of some OF
the principal governments of Europe.
Under the pretense that our hogs
and cattle are unhealthy, the impor-
tation of our pork was forbidden by
Germany, Austria, France and Others
of the most populous nations of Eu-
rope, and our export cattle were sub
jected to "a quarantine andinspection
system in great Britain amounting
almost to an exclusion.
No sooner was the present Secre-
tarv of Agriculture inducted into
office than, with naked hands and a
farmer-like directness and energy, he
grappled these barriers against trade
in our farming products, and by n
rigid domestic inspection disproved
the false charges against our cattle
and swine, with the result that moth
ing American now stands more proud
ly erect in Europe in the conscious
ness of unimpeached and unimpeacha-
BILE character than the American hog
and the American steer.

pneumonia sets in and before
