WE congratulate the republican party upon the latest addition to it's ranks the journalistic fakir who feels it in- cumbent upon himself to direct the af- fairs of two counties. Just what use they will make of him is not apparent, although in his rawlings he has said something about one thousand Catholics who will follow his leadership. Surely he is not such fool as to carry out his threat to make religion a side issue of the campaign. That would disgust all decent people of whatever creed or poli- tical belief and would no doubt be promptly denounced by the proper au- thorities.

sThese geese in stays and starch ('so- ciety' people, are ignorant of the true philosophy of good manners, which may be compressed into single sen tence," writes Walter Blackburn Harte in the New England Magazine .sThe secret of good manners is an entire lack of self-consciousness. If all men were born with proper perception of jus tice, bad manners could not exist. It may be somewhat vague, but the al- most universal conception of justice is, that 1t is the interest of the stronger, as Plato's sophist has it; and moments review of our codes of manners will convince one that this idea is at the bottom of them all All manners are bad which are built upon substruc- ture of Injustice, either inflicted or suf- fered. These best people, paupers in every essential of noble manhood, have elaborated religion of which an inn mense cipher is the symbol Their range of ideas is SO limited as to merely correspond with their physical needs and indulgences, and they have in vented (with a wisdom not common among geese and cockatoos) code of manners which condemns all natural ness. individuality and thought as the brand of the pariah."

REMARKABLE success is said to have been attained with new process for preserving timber lately introduced in England. The agent employed is melted naphthaline, contained in a tank, in which the timber is immersed. The temperature of the bath -is about 200 degrees Fahrenheit or little be- low. and is evenly maintained, the heat being derived from steam pipes, passing through the tank. The timber is soaked from two to twelve hours, ae- cording to the size of the piece. It is believed that wood which is thus thor oughly impregnated with naphthaline, which takes the place of the sap and water it expels, will have peculiar ad- vantage in it's susceptibility to polish, for which merely rubbing with cloth will be sufficient.

PRINCIPLES ARE INVOLVED.

PRINCIPLES AhE lNNOLNEDs
 Democrats of the Second district who are being urged to cut away from the party because candidate who is not of their choosing has been elected should study we'll these closing words of that illustrious democrat, David B. Hill, at Brooklyn the other evening:
 "The interests involved demand the greatest sacrifices and our highest and best efforts. It is the welfare of the old democratic party, which we all love so well, which is at stake. I plead not for individuals, but for the cause. In a great contest like this men are nothing, but principles are everything. Our can- didates represent our principles, and our principles cannot prevail without the electlon of our candidates. The contest may be severe one, but how much more glorious will be the victory if we win. You need have no uneasiness- the old guard will do it's duty"
 These noble sentiments uttered by a man who by a word could turn probable victory to sure defeat in the great Elm. pire state are commended to the demo crats of the Second district.

once more. Pull the loops out tight and you will have knot which will stay by you through the vicissitudes of any ordinary day.
 Still another knot for which untying if not undying constancy is claimed is as follows: Make the first loop as usual, then pass string No. 9 over loop No. and instead of making the second loop right away put string No. 9 clear through the opening under loop No. 1, bring round again and make the second loop as usual.
 This may sound blind, but by taking the strings and following the direc- tions point by point they can be easily understood, and woman will be able to take her mind off the subject of her shoestrings and give it to the great problem of the times.

More Republican N1isinforma ation.

Ex-Congressman William< E. Mason, of Chicago, now stumping the country under the auspices of the Republican national committee, says in one of his speeches:
 "Before the Mckinley bill became q law we had four factories making maca- roni. Now there are over twenty"
 But John F. Scanlan, also of Chicago, made the following statement before McKinley's ways and means committee in 1890:
 "There are some fifty eight factories in this country, located at New York, Brook lyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Braidwood, New Or leans, Denver, San Jose. San Francisco, Los Angeles and Oakland"
 As Scanlan presented the ''prayer and petition of these fifty-eight manufac. turers, he must be right. Mason ought to be coached or called ill.

Caracas Deserted of Soldiers-Foreing
 Loans ffom Merchants.
 PANAMA, Sep. S6.-News has been re- ceived from Caracas to the effect that Senor Diaz has resigned the governorship of federal districts and Dr. Lander has been appointed in his place.
 The government is forcing from the merchants loan of $5, 900 day
 VDlegas- Pulida had not up to Sept 13 been recognized by the foreign Ministers as legally President of the Republic.
 All the troops have left the city for the front. The Commandacia Cuartel has been closed, only a guard of 40 sol diers being left there.
 Renjifro Palacio, Governor of La Guay- ra, it is claimed, opens all the foreign mails and is exercising 8 virtual dicta- torship in local affairs. He has grossly insulted the American Consul and threat ened to revoke his exequator.
 In the waste about the Custom House which was being removed there were found 4, ,O00 letters to local merchants, which have been rified, it is thought, by Mendoza and Renjifro.
 Minister Scruggs made @ vigorous pro- test against the seizure of the passengers on the steamer Caracas at Puerto Cabel- To. He demanded that they be returned to the deck of the steamer, to salute the flag and to give personal damages.
 The Foreign Minister made an evasive reply, and to MT. Scruggs' second demand made no answer. Since then he has had no relations with the government. It is unknown in Caracas where the prisoners are. Ardaneta had consigned them in the Castillo at Puerto Cabello, which Mora afterward captured. It is thought the imprisoned men have been removed to Maracaibo.

A GROWING EVIL.

Before the close of the present century the greatest question for America to solve will be that of immigration. Never before has the evil of unre- stricted immigration, been brought So prominently before our notice as since the cholera scare commenced. Thou sands of foreigners are dumped on our shores every week and scatter through out the land. Some come with the in- tention of becoming citizens. Such should be welcome. Others come sim ply to make money and take or send it to Europe or Asia. They are ignorant, dirty, and in many cases vicious. They take work from Americans, live at the least possible cost and send their savings to home. America is to them only a place where they can accumulate enough money to make them independ- ent at home. No true American citizen will oppose the immigration to this country of decent people who come here in good faith to stay and contribute to the general wealth and welfare of the country, abide by it's laws, live respect ably and honorably and enjoy civiliza. tion, but the country can no longer afford to be overrun and pillaged by those who have nothing in common with our American institutions. They are menace to the nation.

Bourke Cockran on the Force Bill.
 What is this election bill? Stripped of all it's yerbiage it is this: That the United States are to appoint in each state general supervisor of election; that the supervisor has complete con- trol over congressional elections in every district of the state. He can employ as many deputies as he chooses. He can search the houses before election to see If there afe any fraudulent voters there concealed. But the real danger in this measure lies in the clause which pro vides that after each election these fed eral officers would certify the return of tho members elected to the house of rep resentatives. It doesn't matter who gets the votes. It doesn't matter who has five or six or ten thousand majority. The federal supervisor fixes the identity of the individual who attends before the speakers desk to be sworn in on the day when congress organizes.
 You may say that perhaps the Repub- lican party will be honest in the exer- else of this power. Well, gentlemen, l do not believe that there ever yet has been given to any man or set of men a power to oppress his fellow citizens for his own benefit that the power has not been exercised, and if you give the Re- publican party power to perpetuate its own control in the house of representa- tives there is nothing in it's history to show that it would exercise that power in spirit of moderation. Look at the history of the Fifty-frst congress to as- certain just how this power would be exercised.
 am reminded of the experience of an English gentleman travelling through Franco during the empire. He was in a first class compartment and had with him French official who had several \ registers and large urn. The English
 man inquired what they were for, and
 he said the registers were 8 list of the voters, the urn was to receive the bal lots. He also had large bag with him
 and on being interrogated as to what it:
 use was replied, "Oh, that is the ma
 jority."
 That is the force bill in brief, just as il
 would be in brief here. Its result
 would be the emasculation of repre-
 sentative government; it would be tht
 destruction of representative govern ment.

THOSE sHoESTRINGS.
A Few Ways of Manipulating the Strings Which WMl Not Prove Disappoint- ing-The Ordinary Double Row
 Knot the Safest.

A young woman entered Broadway shoe store the other day. There was a look of grim determination about her mouth, says the New York World. As one of the clerks approached with a courteously expectant air she planted her foot in front of her with little, de- liant stamp.
 It was a small foot. It was well shod. But it was not trim. It yawned dismally at the laces, which trailed apologetically along the floor.
 ''It won't stay tiedi' exclaimed the young woman, in voice smothered with indignation. "I have tied the faces half dozen times. For the last six blocks they have gone fiippity-hop, and can't stand it any longer"
 The young man dropped on one knee with the ease acquired by long practice. He smiled. Then he said he would tell her the only infallible way of tying shoestrings so that they would stay tied.
 She watched him carefully and left the store with a seraphic expression and the light. springy step of perfect confidence. This is what he told her:
 Everyone has some rule for insuring a shoestring knot, but most of these little schemes are delusions. The impish little faces work themselves loose with an ease which suggests the agency ot supernatural fingers.
 There are, however, few ways o1 manipulating the strings which can be pretty surely relied on, and they are worth finding out.
 One of the simplest is to tie an ordin- ary double-bow knot, pulling the loops out quite long, and then to retie these loops. It stays in, but makes thick knot.
 Another simple and popular method is to pass string No. 9 around loop No. twice instead of once before drawing it through the opening.
 A really infallible way is to tie an ordinary double-bow knot Then be- fore pulling it down tight turn loop No. back and pass it through the opening

A WOMAN in New York who has been looking up the paying employments open to women, find that the work of a family seamstress is unfailing and well paid. If one is moderately capable she commands from one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents day, with board, dur ing the entire year. The best needle women receive from two dollars to two dollars and fifty cents day. In one in- stance good seamstress divides the en- tire year between two families receiv- ing twelve dollars weekly and her board.

California's Fruit Culture.

LONDON, Sep. 26.-There is a lively correspondence in the London Crimes" based on an anonymous letter, denounc- ing fraud the effort to allure British capital to California by advertising the advantage to be gained by fruit farming in that State. MT. Henry c. Campbell of California and MT. Charles w. Greene of New York and others have defended the business of fruit farming in California with great spirit and urgent argument. They point to the continuous increase of the fruit raising area and the extensive investment of American capital as the best evidence of good faith in appealing for British capital.

Two RAILROAD companies, one in h. diana and the other in Florida, have ex- perienced the modification during the last few days of finding their locomo- tives chained to the track, as the result of legal process for debt. In one case a counter appeal to the law secured re- lease, but in the other case inventive genius triumphed, for, although the only engine on the road continued in hu- initiating captivity, operations were re- sumed by means of a flat car rigged up with sails, and at last accounts this un- common carrier was making regular trips" over the entire length of the road thirteen miles.

SOME time ago an eminent Cincinnati physician said: ''When ! began the practice of medicine a young man whose constitution was even more powerful than my own started in the practice with me. His pet theory was that a man couldn't have too much fresh air; that he wanted to have it circulate inside and outside of his body, and to that end when the rigors of winter came on he spurned thick cloth ing, which I insisted on wearing. If we rode together, the heaviest garment he had on was an ordinary sack coat. wore muff1ers and greatcoat but toned up to the chin.

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was elected president of the United States in 1860, he received 1 1865, ,913 votes in the thirty two states which then constituted the union. In the presidential election of 1888 the total vote of New York state was 1,320, ,109. New York's total this year will not be very far from the entire vote cast for MT Lincoln in the whole United States thirty-two years ago. The total vote for president in 1884 was 1O,04S, ,4G1. In 1888 it was il 1888, ,03S. This year the ratio of increase will be greater on account of the addition of six new states, and the votes of these added to the normal growth in population in ten years will give total of probably IA, 4,O0O,0 ,000. The federal census of 1896 returned the adult white male popula. tion of the United States at 16,94O,311, Deducting the aliens, of whom there are more than a million, and the electors resident in the territories the tota number of qualified voters was 15,5S2, 313. Fully ten per cent of these, for 6 variety of causes, do not vote. This would give as the probable total of the vote cast for president 14,OOO, ,OOO, the same result as is derived by comparison with previous elections.
