Mrs. Southworth.

A writer in the st. Louis Republic de-
scribes Mrs. L. d. E. N. Southworth as
beautiful! old lady, with frank, cor
dial manner, which at once puts stran-
gers at ease She is "a years old and
still lives at Prospect Cottage, where
she ses lived for nearly half century.
1t Is said that, with the single excep.
ton of the White House, there is no
residence in Washington where there
have been SO many distinguished visit
ors as Prospect Cottage.
Mrs. Southworth IL a notable house
wife, and her fame as hostess extends
far back into the antebellum days. Her
recipes, carefully compiled and handed
down through several generations Of
Virginia grandmothers, are held in high
repute by the housekeepers of the Dis
trict. Thus, surrounded by her children
and her friends, this lovely and serene
old gentlewoman passes the evening of
her busy and eventful life.

The Su,aIuer BABY.

What can DE done to increase the pa-
bies' summer comfort and their lies
safety at the same time, which would
not cost fortune to carry out? A well
known physician gives the answer,
"Take off their clothes. Let the little
tots run about in single garment,
keeping them indoors in the middle of
the day and at that time permitting
them to play i'll a adarkened room or per.
suading them to indulge in refreshing
nap. The burden of starched clothes
wears out the life of many child of an
overneat mother, while the children of
the very poor, in their tenements and
steaming alleys, have no respite from
the intolerable heat of their surround
ings other than TO get rid of as many as
possible Of the dirty clothes that are the
surest means of transmitting disease as
we'll as sapping the strength of the un-
happy little one who is forced to carry

The English Demand Protection.

II we may trust the prescience Of The
Spectator, the English people will be-
fore long have to face q demand for
return to protectionism, a demand SO
formidable that for free traders its re.
sistance will involve "a hard struggle,
although their ultimate victory is GER
tain. The circumstances upon which
this forecast is founded are that among
the great mass of the present generation
of educated Englishmen there is no firm
grasp Of the principle of free trade; that
they have received the accepted doctrine
as an inheritance, have never convinced
themselves of its soundness and are be-
coming skeptical as to the wisdom Of re.
tanning it as practical guide to legis-
lation. Even some of the newspapers
read by intelligent people are giving
voice TO this skepticism, as is shown ~
the contemptuous manner in which they

shrinkage In sheep Values.

The value Of the sheep in the United
States has declined FROM sl25, 900, 264
on the lst of January, 1898, to $780,
1856, 40 ON the 1st of January, 1894, a
shrinkage of more than $50, 900. 900 in
a single 10 months. This shrinkage,
which is most appalling, falls upon the
farmer Of the country, many Of whom
are in debt, and some Of whom have
mortgages upon their property and were
relying in part at least upon a fair price
for their wool to cancel them. Every
dollar of the loss comes from the farm
er's pocket, and no one is now more
poorly prepared to bear 1t.

Concerning nsyenues.

1t has been asserted by some Of the
best informed public men that there will
be a deficit in the public revenues OF
over $50, 900, 900 for the current yeal
closing June 80, 1895, while some OF
the tariff reformers are proclaiming
surplus of at least $40, 900, 900. The first
10 days under the new law show but
small gain of receipts above expendi-
lures, while it is generally known that
millions of goods have been released
from bond, by which the public revenues
have been increased during these 10
days. II therevenues for the first month
are not very largely increased over the
expenditures, then it is sure fact that
q large deficit must occur. The Demo
cratic party is earning for itself the rep
utation of being unable to collect money
while posing as retranching always in
expenditures Of money.

He ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
General Sheridan Explains what Is the
Matter With the Democratic Party.


Some years ago, while General George
A. Sheridan was addressing great au-
dience in Cleveland, a man yelled out
to him, What is the matter with the
Democratic party anyhow Sheridan
dropped the line of argument he was
pursuing, turned toward the man and
replied as follows: "What is the matter
with the Democratic party? / will tell
you, my friend. The Democratic party
was born under planets that were in op-
position. 1t lives in the objective case.
Like mule, it has no pride of ancestry,
no hope Of posterity. 1t never originates
anything. 1t always shines by borrowed
light. Democracy has never been joined
III honest wedlock to a principle, but
lived for years in open adultery with a
harlot called slavery, lived with her till
she died of corruption and was buried
amid the sobs and groans of her para
mour
"The atmosphere that surrounds De-
mocracy is full of noxious vapors that
breed moral pestilence and death. The
sun never shines through it, vice seeks
its shadow, and corruption grows lusty
under its unholy influence. Springs of
purity are never found in Democracy
Its waters are torpid, lifeless, covered
with the filth and scum With which
stagnant pools and waveless waters al
ways offend the eyes Of men. The soil
which Democracy has cultivated has
failed to yield harvests of value to the
nation, but has given crops of worthless
weeds and briers..
Democracy has no love of country,
believes in states instead of nation,
drives loyalty from its doors and well
comes treason to its habitation, holds
the deeds of our soldiers and sailors as
naught, strives to blacken the names of
our heroes, weeps over the lost cause,
hates the blue and loves the gray, stabs
loyalty in the back, binds up the wounds
of treason and speaks words of hope and
comfort to its devotees, applauds when
helpless blacks are stricken down in the
south and caresses the hands red with
their innocent blood, denies the right of
American citizens to make homes for
themselves in the south, justifies the
man who shoots them down or drives
them out.
Democracy is curse to the land,
the source of our bitterest woes, the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime it's apologists and defenders.
Democracy is original sin let loose to
reud and destroy, is the spirit of evil
filling the swine of the land, the incar-
nation of unholiness, the child of the
devil. Its home should be in that outer
darkness where there are weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth. Such,
family pictured, my friend, is what is
the matter with the Democratic party"
Sheridan picked up the thread Of his
speech at. the point where he had been
interrupted. He was asked no more
questions during the evening.

Average loss, q per cent.
The foregoing shows reports from az
of the leading theaters of the United
States. For every 81. TOO received by
these theaters during the first three
months of 1893 their receipts amounted
to only 50. 40S during the first three
months Of the present year, the loss be.
ing 81, 292, or 27 per cent for the whole
country. While the actor is not directly
protected by tariff, 1t is very evident
that the prosperity of the country under
q protective tariff affords larger receipts
to those engaged in the theatrical pro.
fession than the disturbed condition of
the country will permit under the mere
threat OF free trade. When people are
NOS earning money at all or are not
earning good wages, it is impossible for
them to spend money upon amusements.

Whereas, The traffic in laborers transported
from China and other eastern countries, known
as the cody trade is odious to the people Of the

Whereas, 1t is abhorrent to the spirit Of mod

It is equally ''the moral sentiment Of

by cheap labor is 'as inhuman and i'm

by permit the importation of foreign
goods made by cody and other cheap

THE SITUATION.

From week 20 week the Financial Re
view sums up the business situation. To-
day il says: "Out OF the uncertainties at
tending the situation at Washington, one
probability is coming out with more dis
tinctness, namely, that the Tariff bill Is
conceded 10 be sure 10 pass, either with
the income tax attachment or without IL.
But the time for its enactment Is now set
back as fer as next August. This is dis
eouraging prospect, as 1t means that the
manufacturing interests are TO be kept In
a state OF compulsory inactivity for two
orthree months longer than has been an
ticipated. Under this state OF affairs, II Is
out OF the question to expect any notice
able revival OF general business until the
Fall mont hs, " hereas such improvement
has been hoped for about midsummer.
This, however, means disappointment
rather than positive diseouragement. In
most branches of trade, the symptoms In
dicste readiness to resume business upon
an active scale so soon as these legislative
restrictions are removed"

THE cITrs EMPLOYEES.

The absurdity Of the position assumed
by Commissioner Ladd in his controversy
with the several committees is seen al
once when ii is pointed out that although
he claimed he has the right to hire all
employees under the statute, and nix their
compensation, he has not yet succeeded
IN paying, or causing TO be paid, single
person hired by him whose rate OF com
pensation is more than $1,000 per year.
Chapter 33l OF the city ordinances Is
liable 10 become famous, there being so
much difficulty in getting Commissioner
Ladd to live up TO its provisions. The or
dinance was passed Feb. Ia. The Com
missioner was appointed, or elected, Feb
p. and took his oath OF Office on Saturday,
Feb "a. Since then several meetings OF
the Board Of Aldermen have been held
but not a single clerks name has been
Sc Mt in for confirmation TO the Board.

THE DlsPENSARY LAW VOID.

The decision OF the Supreme Court OF
South Carolina declaring the Dispenssry
Liquor law void, Is great victory for
those who think that personal liberty is
the most valuable right guaranteed by any
form OF government. That a man should
be permitted TO do as he likes with his
own as long as ne does nothing offensive
or Injurious to his neighbors, ought TO be
a self-evident proposition In every State
In the Union. And the word "ofiensive"
is not here meant TO indicate a mere fancy
or chimera in the brain OF every crank
who thinks that the habits OF others
should conform to his standard. To most
OF the Populist orators wealth is offensive
through mere covetousness. Many
worthy persons think that the millen-
MUM would come II alcoholic stimulants
could be abolished, and there may yet
come a time when we shall see a crusade
against all drugs, just as there have been
crusades against the use OF flesh meat and
tobacco.
But no one I'm South Carolina would se.
riously propose to make the cotton crop 4
State monopoly. Because either II woulC
have TO bo taxed to pay the expenses %
government handling, or ether crops ano
merchandise would have TO be taxed In
order TO pay the expenses OF putting tho
cotton crop on the market after the farm
ers who grew II had been paid full price
for Il. Yet there ~ no more reason why
the State OF South Carolina should have
