has encountered and for the lasting
discredit which he has inflicted on the
country.
Throughout the whole of this dis
graceful affair the president has been
PLAYING false to the country. He was
well aware from the beginning that
his plot to restore the ex-queen was OPP
posed by nine out Of every ten persons
in the country, without distinction OF
party. His plot has been condemned
by democratic as well as republican
statesmen and newspapers but he still
persisted in it Even after he pledged
his word to congress that he had dis
continued all bis efforts to restore the
old regime, and that he would place
the whole affair in congress hands,
he carried on bis conspiracy. This
attempt Of Minister Willis to compel
the provisional government to abdicate
was made after Cleveland had virtually
promised congress and tho country that
he would go no farther, except under
congressional direction. Moreover. all
recent requests by congress and the
people for Information ss to the actual
status of affairs at the islands have
been arrogantly and contemptuously
disregarded Nor can il be urged in
extepuation of the presidents contu-
macy that any public interest would be
injured or preJudieed by the publica-
ton of this Intelligence. Cleveland,
indeed, has displayed contempt for
the propriet;es OF his position and a
disregard for the people desires such
as was never shown ~ even Jackson
or Tyler, and the position in which he
has placed the country is the most hui

CLEANING KNIVES.
Directions for Making a Good Knife
Rosrd ut Home.

Bosrd at Home.
The steel knife universally recog-
nized as the very best table knife. The
silver-plate knife is more convenient
to use, as it requires less cleaning, but
the edge is not as keen and it is not as
useful as the pure steel knife. Bath
brick or emory powder with sweet oil
is still considered the best material for
cleaning knives. A homemade knife
board with hinge is great conven-
fence in a family. To make such a
cleaner. take two pieces of board
about ten inches long and four inches
across, and about an inch thick.
Stretch chamois leather across one side
of each board, lacking it down with
nails around the edges. Unite these
two boards by two hinges, so that the
leather covers come on the inside, ap-
ply the powdered bath brick and sweet
oil or tho emory and sweet oil to one
of the leather sides. Put the knives
inside one by one and move them up
and down as in rubbing to clean them,
turning them over as one side is pol
lished. A number of knives may be
cleaned in short time by this method
A simple board covered with chamois
leather and a large cork will accom-
plish the same result. but it viii re-
quire much more time, and the hinged
board once made will last for all time.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND ArLAsP

Mr.. Bertram W. Currie is an Englishmar
who s. high authority as a monemetailist
lie appeared before the Cold and Silver
Commission, in 1857, and gave the follow
ing testimony:
O. But / think you said that a demand
for gold increased its value. If there were
a fresh demand by America referring &c
the American Imports, gold must Pre-
tanto have increased IN value.
A. But what evil is done thereby 4 II

Q. a fail Of prices due to cheaper
production Of commodities would be a
gain?
A. | ask no questions as a consumer,
a fall in prices benefits me.
Q. Is IL not a fact that. owing 10 the
low prices, large tracts Of country that
were formerly prontably cultivated in
England have gone out Of cultivation anc
are now producing nothing?
a. II that is so II is because they are
unsuited 10 the production Of these COM
moditles.
@. But 1 am speaking Of land which

profit not very long ago?
a. That is the general fate Of man.

can produce them cheaper and better. I

The Washington Post, which is a BIZ
metalhst, with leaning, perhaps. towards
free silver, quotes this and speaks of it
as Mr.. Curries "heartiess and despotic
attitude"

connection is entitled to passing notice.

the chance Of a war between. England and

less the hereditary antipathy between

with Germany over Alsace and Lorraine.
She voluntarily went to war with that

she has real and live questions that are

There is also a most serious question

French Siamese territory is yet to be
drawn, and when an effort is made 10

may be most serious in its consequences.
Altogether, it seems to Us that If there
is to be a European conflict the chances
are much greater that it will be between
France and England than anywhere else.
Indeed, If conflict is avoided the French
will show more tact and forbearance than
has been the custom of France.

Mr.. Currie gives the true reason for
Wishing for low prices-"It Will benefit

n,tces one thousand suffer. When one
| man loses by low prices the situation OF
one thousand is improved. The halcyon
DAVIS of the world will be those of the
lowest possible prices for everything
From the dark ages to this time the
state and condition OF man has been
improving, and he has been becoming
happier. and the whole period is nothing
but record of increased production OF
commodities and the reduction Of their
prices Louis the Fourteenth, with all
his splendor and power was nothing like
as comfortable as a man who has now an
income of ten thousand dollars year.
Charemagne, ruling half the world. was
not as well off as is now good cook.
And the lower the prices the more Work
there is for the laboring man. Our
consumption of products IS in proportion
to their cheapness. When they are high
in price the disposition TO use and the
habit Of using grows, and thereby calls
for production and furnishes work for
all. Give us low prices, say we, and
away with the pessmist who wishes to
see bread and clothes high.
Mr.. Currie gave expression to another
perfectly sound idea when he said that
II the fertile lands can no longer be
worked to a profit, and must be turned
out TO grow wild, no harm is done
When that is the case, it Is. as he
says, because they are unsuited to the
production Of these commodities. That
is the general fate Of mankind. Some
body else has found that he can pro-
duce them cheaper and better There
is the philosophy Of the whole case. We
are not to make laws that Will compel
the interests Of all mankind TO yield
to a profit TO certain landowners. HUI
man laws must stand aside in the face
Of natural laws and permit what that
land produces to come from whatever
quarter will furnish it cheapest and best.
If a certain area Of our land will no long
er produce wheat probably we must
not, therefore, limit the production Of
wheat in all the rest Of the world. but
require the owners Of that land 10 find
some other use for 1t that will make
It profitable This is the inexoraole law
Of supply and demand which must finally
rule all cases.
