no good. Harmless pranks are a source

The Elections ofISe3.

The current year is what is know as an
of year in politics; that is to say, it is
not year of prolonged campaigns and
general elections in the most of the states.
But, as a matter of fact, there are no ''off
years" in a strict construction of the
term, in American politics. There are
always elections just ended, on hand or
in the near future Our political institu-
tions have not yet been so systematized
that the whole country can go to the polls
on the same day and make general once
for-all election, and then take a rest.
Things may be arranged some of these
days so that one election will wipe off
national, state, county and municipal
states at one sweep; but that desirable
end is not yet in sight.
So far from the politicians giving the
balance Of humanity a breathing spell
this year, there are elections to be held
this fall in nearly one-third of the states
in the union. To be exact, thirteen of the
forty-four states will vote for various Of
ticers in November. OF these, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and Vir-
ginia will elect full state tickets. OF the
others, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey
and New York will elect legislatures, sew
eral judges and state officers. Missouri
Pennsylvania, Nebraska and South Da-
kota have as their most important bust
ness the election of supreme court judges
Three Of the legislatures to be
elected will elect United States
senators-Iowa, a successor to James
F. Wilson; Kentucky, successor to Will
liam Lindsay, and Virginia, a successor
to Eppa Hunton, who is now serving the
unexpired term of the late Senator Bar
bour.
The Ohio campaign, in which Gov
Mckinley and Mr.. Lawrence T. Neal will
contest the governorship on tariff lines,
viii probably be the warmest of the lot.
though the fight In both Iowa and Wis
consin will be mettlesome enough to suit
admirers of a battle royal
OF the thirty-one states that will not
hold elections the coming fall, all except
Florida and Louisiana will hold general
elections next year. The next general
elections in the two states named will &C.
cur in 1896.

perfect themselves in that profession. Miss
Harrison says that there are schools of cook
cry In most large towns now, but that they
attempt to teach cookery in one year, which
is too short time. She wants training in
stitutes that will give three-year courses, and
graduate cooks that Will really have formed
habits of justihable cooking. She does not
believe in the alleged contemporary dislike
for domestic service. but thinks that if there
were facilities for learning how to cook many
mothers would have their daughter trained
to that business in preference to dressmal1ing
or factory work.

Certain republican papers. notably rho
New York Press. are doing what they can
90 increase the prevailing distrust 10y
continually asserting that the reason so
many factories are closing is the fear
that the Democratic party is going TO re-
move an tariff barriers and open the
country 20 absolute free trade There
never was q more uniustidable assertion.
The Democratic party is as profoundly
concerned about the industries as the Re
publican party can possibly be, and it is
not going to do anything that viii iniure
them IN the least
What the Democratic party is pledged
10 do, ana what it is going to do, is 10 re
move from the people the unequal bur
deus which the Mckinley tariff imposes
upon them, and 10 make it impossible 70
build up monopolies 10 roo them.
Revenue for the needs Of the govern
meut has to be raised, and the amount
that is required is large. The Democratic
party will make tariff that viii bear
equally upon the people, and at the same
time do no injury to any industry. What
the republican press is afraid of, is that
some of the protected monopolies, that
furnish campaign funds for the Democatic
party, will not be permitted to retain the
unjust advantages they now have and
which they have enjoyed so long. The
people have no fear that the industries
will be injured by the Democratic party
The fact that they put it in power shows
they have not The agitation the republi-
can press is conducting is unjustifable
and injurious.

Two New York physicians think, and
contend, that they have discovered an
antidote for cancer. The discovery was
accidental. A cancer patient in a hospi-
tai was accidentally infected with the
germs of erysipelas. The doctors no.
ticed that as the latter disease progress
ed the caucerous condition improved
Experiments were made or other cancer
patients, with such satisfactory results
that the doctors believe they have at last
found a cure for one of the most insidious
diseases that curses mankind.
