WHAT A MONEY ORDER COSTS.

She was one of those women who
ought to be an angel, if she isn't, and
the clerk knew it the minute she put her
face up to the money order widow.

called down to the clerk from the hight
of her superiority.
"This is the place, madam" he re-
sponded, politely.
81 know it is. That's why came here
instead of going to the opera house or
the museum. How much will it cost
me to send $40 to Hiram Buckle Smith,
at Columbus, o."
The clerk began brief calculation on
a pad of paper.
'Well, madam" he replied, after
keeping her waiting two or three min
utes, 1T will cost you, including the
postage, $4022."

st certainly will, madam" said the
clerk, confidently, IF you send it by
money order"
By this time she was pretty badly rat
tied
"Its a shame and an outrage" she ex-
claimed 81 thought the fee was only
twenty-five cents or such a matter; but

tire amount want to send"

gized the clerk, softening. 81 didn't say
the fee was S4022 You must have mis-
taken me someway. You asked me
what it would cost you to send $40 to
Columbus, o., and l said, including post
age, it would cost you S4O.22. You see, :"
he hurried on, without giving her a
chance to chip in word, ''the postage
will be two cents, the fee for $40 order
is twenty cents, that's twenty-five cents,
and the $40 you want to send to your
brother-in-law will be $40; forty and
twenty-five" he ratified away on his fin
gers, "is $4022. See? And that's just
what it will cost you to send the $40
which you asked me about at first. Now

THE SPRING.

OF all seasons of the year, is the one for
making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter the system
becomes to certain extent clogged
with waste and the blood loaded with
impurities, owing to lack of exercise,
close confinement in poorly ventil-
ated shops and homes, and other
causes. This is the cause of the dull,
sluggish, tired feeling so general at this
time of year, and which must be over
come, or the. health may be entirely
broken down. Hoods Sarsaparilla has
attained the greatest popularity all over
the country as the Favorite Spring Medi-
cine. 1t expels the accumulation of i'm
purities through the bowels, kidneys,
liver, lungs and SKIN, gives to the blood
the purity and quality necessary to good
health and overcomes that tired feeling.

NEW ENGLAND STILL NEW ENG.
LAND.

LAND.
The steady change in the character of
New England's population, which has
been visible for more than fifty years, is
strongly emphasized by the Census
Office report on the nativity of the in
habitants of the six States of Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut. In
1890 there were in these six States A.
1000 persons, of whom 1,l14,000, or
about 25 per cent. were of foreign birth,
the number of foreign born persons hav-
ing increased 34S, 900, or about 43 per
cent, since 1880. The number of native
born persons in New England has in
creased BAL 900, or about 10 per cent, in
the same period.
These figures are in no way startling,
because they illustrate tendency which
has been observed among us for great
many years. The largest proportion of
foreign b IN is found in Rhode Island,
where 80 per cent. of the inhabitants are
of alien origin. The smallest proportion
is in Maine-l1 per cent. In Massachu-
sets, 20 per cent. OF the population is
foreign born; in Connecticut, "A per
cent; in New Hampshire, 10 per cent.
in Vermont, 13 per cent. In the last de-
cade the foreign-born element has in
creased more rapidly in New Hampshire
than in any other State, its gain there
being no less than SO per cent. against
one of 48 per cent. in Massachusetts,, 43
per cent. in Rhode Island, Al per cent. in
Connecticut, "a per cent. in Maine and
only per cent. in Vermont. For New
England as a whole, 81 per cent. of the
males of voting age are native born; the

NEWSPAPER COMMENTS.

The New York World says: "Cle1eland
and Stevenson will have clear majority
of seventy over the combined votes for
Harrison and Weaver in the ELECTORAL
college. The Democratic candidates hold
the South's f59 votes solid.
''They get all four of the old-time
doubtful states. New York, New Jersey,
Indiana and Connecticut. These states
have total vote of 81 votes. Add them
to 159 and you get 226, or 3 more than
the requisite number. But to make as
surance doubly sure. the Democrats
carry Illinois, in Michigan instead of
the expected, and claim several of the
smaller states"
The Times says: Cleveland and Stew
enson have been chosen to the highest
offices in the gift of the American people
by majority in the ELECTORAL collrge SO
large that the meaning is unmistakable.
The doubtful states were found in the
Cleveland line.
New York gives 45 900, New Jersey
10000, Connecticut 300 to 1000. Indi-
ana's new ballot law makes the count In
that state slow, but at midnight there
was little reason to question that it is
safely Democratic. The same is true
concerning West Virginia. Ex-Governor
Gray has telegraphed the national Demo-
cratic committee that Indiana will give
Cleveland from 10000 to $4,000 major
| ity"
| The San Francisco Examiner says:
Grover Clevelands election is not an
occasion for partisan exultation. 1t is
cause for profound thankfulness to the
thoughtful and intelligently patriotic,
since it means that the trusts, the tariff
favored millionaires and the jobbing
politicians who commanded the Repub-
llcan party in their exclusive interest
have been sent to the rear and sternly
taught that this is government of the
people for all the people. The election
is splendid declaration that in the
United States there must be equal rights
and no privileges.
The victory is due to Republicans as
well as to Democrats, for had not great
masses of the former followed the Gres-
hams, Cooleys, MacVeaghs and Schurzs
away from political fellowship with the
protected and corrupting plutocracy,
Cleveland could not have been elected.
And even the millions of Republicans
who yesterday stood by their party col
ors, though they may temporarily smart
under the sting of defeat, feel no fear
for the Union with Grover Cleveland in
command. He is as prudent as he is
courageous. and in his high minded de-
termination to do what is right there is
universal faith.
The battle was earnestly and fairly
fought. That it has been won so de-
risively as to render all dispute impossi-
bic rejoices all. The victors will cele-
brate, as is their due, but, Republicans
and Democrats alike, we are Americans,
and the submission of the vanquished
will be cheerful. That is the American
way.
