COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

ming any violent risk that Mr.. Neal, of
Ohio, will not write the tariff plank in
the next democratic platform Chicago

cerned he may just as proftably give
his entire attention to other Matters

to it's party. Cleveland and Gresham

.HGresham may not be displaying
any craftsmanship, but he is showing
/ that he is a good hater of the Harrison
Blaine administration by tearing down
all it did.-Iowa State Register.
H-The present administration may
have the courage of its convictions, but
it is wise and far-seeing enough to
choose the safest time for precipitating
them on the country.-N. Y. Tribune.
cY-The vote this year illustrates tho
change in sentiment that has taken
place since the present administration
came into power. 1t is indicative of the
feeling throughout the country.-Oma-
ha Bee.
NPresident Cleveland did his best
to help his party in the late election
contests. He kept the people from get
ting peep at that Hawaiian report of
Mr. Gresham's until the ballots were
all in. This prevented it from being a
unanimous thing in Obio.-N. Y. Re
corder.
sS-"Since Tn election there has been
distinct improvement in business,
particularly in manufacturing" This
utterance, which is from one of the
commercial agencies, shows that
business nen throughout the country
feel that the recent republican triumph
means still more brilliant and important
victories for the same party in 1894 and
1S9o.-St Louis Globe Democrat.
NThe enormous majority secured
by Mr. Mckinley plainly indicates un-
der the circumstances popular reac-
ton in Ohio in favor of the doctrine of
high taris. Last year when the tar IF
question was before the people Ohio
was almost lost by the republicans.
This year Ohio has gone back to thu
republicans, with the campaign con-
Quoted on national lines, with a rush.
Mr.. McKinley's tremendous victory
gives him good start in the race for
republican presidential nomination
Indianapolis News
B-Comrade William Mckinley has
again touched the popular feeling
electrically. by discouraging political
Publications, and recommending that
the money to be expended on these be
appropriated for 1.-THE relief of the un-
employed and the distressed" With
two million workingmen out of en-
ployment, and over seven hundred
thousand aged men and women watt
ing interminably for the settlement of
their pension claims, there should be
no money squandered on publications.
A much better use can be made of it

How to Clean blankets.

Various methods of cleansing blan-
kets appear in the newspapers with
periodical regularity. Among them
the following has the merit of being
probably the least taxing to the
physical strength and the most
economical of any ana at the same
time equal to any in efficacy: Pour
into the tub half a pint of common
household ammonia, laying the blan-
ket lightly over it. and Immediately
pour in enough warm water to entire
" cover the blanket. This sends the
fumes of the ammonia through the
fibcrS of the WOO anG looscns the dirt
in way which seems little short of
marvellous. The blankets should then
be pressed and stirred about with a
stick till the water seems to have ac-
quired its darkest hue, when second
tub of clear water of about the same
temperature as the first should be
used in the same way, after which the
blanket should be run lightly through
the wringer and hung out to dry.

Rose Sacbets for Drawers.

To perfume bureau drawers rose
sachets are most desirable. They may
be made of cheese cloth or any thin
material, in cream or white, tied with
narrow bright ribbons, or colors in
harmony with the toilet draperies can
be chosen. In size the sachets should
not exceed six inches in length and
four in width. Fill them with petals

circulating freely through and around

times during the season. 1t is much
better to enclose the leaves in this way
than to scatter them loosely through
the brewers as is frequently done, for
when they w.yhcr ana dry up the re
suit is not pleasirg. - Margaret D.
Brown, in American Farmer.

not do well in n warm atmosphere. A
house as near forty degrees a. possible
suits them best, although they will
withstand sixty degrees in the day
time if the temperature does not fall
too low at night. They should be left
indoors the first two years. and may
then be put outside during the sum
mer after that. The growing season
is from April to June, when they
should have plenty of water. The
plants should be removed to a cool pit
or house on the approach of cold
weather, which should be kept Just
above the freezing point. For early
Towering, the plants should be
brought into moderate heat from De-
cember onward, but must not be kept
too warm.
Rhododendrons are propagated in
various ways. As mentioned, many
are raised from seed. The seed pods
should be allowed to mature, but must
be picked before bursting and placed
in a warm place in the house. AS soon
as the pods burst the seeds must be
gathered and sown thinly. Mix with
twenty parts of fine sand and SOW in
pans filled with equal parts of finely
sifted loan and decayed peat. Cover
very thinly with n sitting of this and
a little sand and water with a fine
hose. The seedlings should be
pricked out into small pots when
three or four leaves have formed. kept
in the greenhouse a few weeks and
then moved out into pits. The seeds
will keep coming up for several
months. Cuttings of side shoots gre
often taken, and marching and taper
ing are sometimes practiced. Stocks
for grating are raised from seed or
cuttings and grated in the spring
when one year old. The saddle graft
is commonly employed, although the
side graft and bud give good results.
The cuttings should be of half-ripe
wood and should be stuck into cCm-
post in close frame with moderate
bottom heat. But little pruning is re-
quired, and when it is necessary it
should be done at a time when the
part removed can be used for cuttings.

Tomato Marmaiade.

One who has never tasted t:iis de-
licious preserve has a treat in store.
Mrs. Rorer's directions for preparing
are as follows: Scald and skin half
peck of tomatoes, large or small. put
them in porcelain kettle, cook thirty
minutes. then add an equal quantity
of grated pineapple. Weigh or meas
ure and to each pound allow one pound
of graduated sugar. Cook slowly one
hour, put into tumblers or jars and
when cold tie up in two thiclnesses of
tissue paper. The small yellow varie-
ty are the best for this purpose.

THE IDEAL KITCHEN.

and Coal.

IN 1t Electricity Takes the Place of Wood
and Coal.
The remark was made recently by a
housekeeper, that when the last buck
ct of coal for heating and cooking
purposes had been brought into the
house and the last bucket of ashes ear
ried out, she should feel that the mil
lennium had arrived. This remark
was called forth by conversation on
the subject of the use of gas and cleo
tricity in place of coal. The former
satisfaction, but the latter, as yet.
is too expensive for common use and
requires special attachments for
using.
This Utopia looked forward to by
this lady has been realized in some in
stances even now, and is an actually.
AL of the cooking in the Minnesota
club house, at st. Paul, is done by
electricity, and the members are en-
thusiastic over the superior manner in
which electric heat does the work.
The heat being distributed evenly in
the various utensils, the cooking is
evenly done and the favors retained,
while the inconvenience is reduced to a
minimum.
George Foster Peabody, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, has dispensed with coal entire
ly, and all household operations are
now performed by electricity. The
house is lighted by electricity. warmed
by electric heaters, and cooled in sum-
mer by electric fans; the cooking is
done and all water heated by electrici-
ty, and the work of ironing is rendered
easy by the use of electric irons, no

Those who have followed closely the
course of President Cleveland since his
Inauguration, last March, will not be at
all surprised at his determination to
restore the Hawaiian queen to her
throne. Mr.. Cleveland's sympathy
goes out to all monarchs in distress.
He knows how it is himself. He
has made himself dictator of his
party. He has arrogated to himself
privileges. powers and immunities
which no president heretofore has ven
tured to assert He has withdrawn
himself from the people and their
representatives. and issues his orders
from mysterious seclusion, regardless
of everything but his own will. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Cleveland favors antocracy
in government, since he practices it
himself. 1t is not strange, then, that
he should favor the esta Dlishment of
autocracy in Hawaii.-Albany Journal.
sBOur democratic brethren of the
press are explaining the landslide at
the election by saying this is the off
year." as if that accounted for every
thing. Are we to assume that the peo-
pie don't know what they are voting
on in off years? That they lose all
common sense in off years? Let them
go out in their own localities and ask a
dozen democrats who voted the re-
publican ticket this year-they are
easy to Finland they can get the ex-
act reason; and it will be found that
the reason is the hard times, caused by
fear of democratic free trade.-Toledo

AbrahamS PRAYER for the rescue OF
Sodom was a grand prayer in some re-
spects. but there were six Ifs" in it,
or ''peradventures," which mean tina
same thing. "Peradventure there may
be fifty righteous in the city. perad.
venture forty-five, peradventure forty,
peradventure thirty, peradventure
twenty, peradventure ten" Those six
peradventures, those six ifs killed
the prayer and Sodom went down and
under. Nearly all the prayers that
were answered had no Ifs in them.
The PRAYER of Elijah that changed
dry weather to wet weather. The
prayer that changed Hezekiah from a
sick man to a well man. The prayer
that halted sun and moon without
shaking the universe to pieces Oh,
rally your soul for a prayer with no
ifs in it Say in substance, Lord,
Thou has promised pardon and take
it Here are my wounds, heal them.
Here is my blindness, irradiate it.
Here are my chainsrof bondage, by the
gospel hammer strike them off. l am
fleeing to the City of Refuge and am
sure this is the right way. Thanks be
to God, i am free"
With the Mosaic earnestnesS of my
text and without its Mosaic Ifs" let
us cry out for God. Aye; if words fail
US, let us take the suggestion of that
printers dash of the text, and with a
wordless silence implore pardon and
comfort and life and heaven. For
this assemblage, all of whom l shall
meet in the last Judgment, i dare not
offer the prayer of my text, and SO
change it, and say: Lord God, for
give our sins, and write our names in
the book of thy loving remembrance
from which they shall never be blottsd

Harvard House.

The recent action OF the Harvard Club
OF New York in building for itself a per-
manent home to be known as Harvard
House" has excited unusual interest
among college graduates, not only In
this city, but throughout the country,
because 1t is practically new departure.
University clubs and fraternity buildings
are 10 be found In almost every large
city, but no single association of college
alumni has ever before attempted the
experiment OF establishing itself in
clubhouse especially adapted 10 its own
purposes, and built by means OF fund
raised by subscription among its own
members.
II is fair indication OF the interest
taken in the suggestion for a new house
that the Harvard graduates or New York
who are probably not so numerous as
those Of other of the large universities
raised by subscription the sum Of $4,000
as a free and unconditional gift TO the
club. This accomplished, land fifty feet
front was purchased on Forty-fourth
street west of Fifth Avenue. and the
architectural work was entrusted TO
Messrs McKim, Mead. & White. this firm
generously Offering their designs as Mr.
McKim's contribution 10 the club fund.
The house now ia course Of construction
is Of the Boston type OF Colonial archi-
lecture, built OF what is known as Har-
ward brick, with Indiana limestone trim
mings. 1t is three stories in height, and
provides on the first floor conversation
rooms and a grill-rcom; on the second
library. which at present viii also be
used for the monthly meetings OF the club;
and on the third ficor a tillisrd-room,
card-rooms, etc. The building has been
so constructed that in the future an ex-
fpnciOn NAV no addAd prcVidfDQ for
new billiard-room or grill-room on the
first floor. with spacious hall on the sec
ond floor. where, In connection with the
present structure 1t is hoped the annual
dinners OF the club may be held 1t is
the purpose of the architects TO make the
interior a pure example of the Colonial
style.
