Mr.. GROWS ELECTION.


Representing in his personality the
brightest traditions of the Republican,
party, and emerging from honorable
retirement at the unanimous call Of
that party, extended at u time when it
was the general desire to secure the
strongest possible representation in
congress, Galusha A. Grow has very
naturally received a tremendous ma
jority of the popular vote, A candi'
date less famous would have won
grandly, for the reason that industrial
Pennsylvania had interests at stake
far trauscending the personal equation,
But in the case Of Mr. Grow. personal
fitness and personal renown blended
with the general needs of the com
monwealth to make his selection vir.
tuslly one without dissent.
1t is no individual fault of Mr.. Grow
opponent that the Democratic vote has
dwindled down into almost an invisible
quantity. Mr.. Hancock, personally, is
an atfable gentleman whose department
during the canvass has been one OF al
most piteous propriety. But he has
the misfortune to advocate in this busy
state, and in this eager, practical coun-
try, bald economic theories which, In
any other mundane relation than that
of beautiful and abstract spsculations.
would mean ruin to our prosperity,
curtailmsnt to our commerce aud u
deadly drain Of our mOn4y to foreign
lands. The people of Pennsylvania are
disposed to let Mr. Hancock comfort
himself as much as he may choose with
faDciful interpretations OF economic
day dreams; but they are not
disposed, so far as they can interfere.
10 convert their industrial centers into
the abodes of owls aud bats, nor to
witness with equlnimity the transfer
of Pennsylvania thrift to centsrs of
foreign production. in exchange for
tue poverty and squslor that now form
the continental contrast.
In the present congress Mr. Grow
will have little to DO. The scene Of the
great economic battle has been shifted
from house to senate, aud the duties Of
the former will from this time forward
be light. Nevertheless. in even the
routine Of legislation, Mr.. Grows skill,
experience aud ready counsel will prove
valuable national resources. In all the
vast audience of senators and represeu-
tatives among whom he will take his
pIace-some of whom have been for
three decades active in public affairs
there is none who will fail to recognizs
in the father of the homestead law and
in the spirited war speaker peer in
every sense, and in some senses a supe
rior. The twentieth of February. 1884,
has corrected a blundsr of which Penn
sylvanians had too long been acqui-
escently guilty.

ties arise, will have widespread cre-
dence unless the senate shall utterly
transform the pending tariff bill. At
the outset, we are confronted with the
fact that this bill, If enacted in its

five million dollars Of annual deficiency,
whereas the present bond issue will
net, in temporary revenue, about ten
million dollars less That is to say

lars deeper into the hole Of national
insolvency.
In order to make this thing evan
clearer. lot Us illustrate the case by
supposing that John Smith Is a mer-
chant who does yearly business that
leaves him seventy five million dol
lars in debt; that is, Johns receipts are
ssventy.five million dollars less than
his necessary disbursements. John goes
to wealthy friends and off ,rs to give
his note for fifty million dollars, paya--

per cent This bargain Is closed, and
Johns credit Is 80 good-m lde 80 uu-
der better business manager than he
has at present--that, in order to get
his note, with five per can't, those
friends give John premium, The
question which the American psople
are called upon to ask. with reference
to their own case, is how many years
John can stand 1t TO run thus heavily

Our sister republic to the south has
been invaded by the movement for the
Acknowledgement Of woman, and just
now the movement is being discussed
by the Mexican press with no little an
imation. The immediate cause of the
present interest was the refusal of one
of the city courts to license a young lady
law student to practice before it. The
writers OF Mexico have long been urg-
ing the broadening OF woman's sphere
and advising ladies to enter positions
which had hitherto been monopolized
by the men. They were advised to be-
come saleswomeu, steuographers, book
keepers. telegraphers. ETC., and some
two years aga. when a young lady gradu-
ated at p rsedical school and was adj
mitted to practice medicine, the papers
of the country had a good deal to say
about the great advance in woman's
work
The great majority Of them, however,
indorse the opinion of the court, which
does not want to see q female lawyer.
They think that the legal profession is
too near the ballot box, and that when
women are allowed TO practice law they
cannot well be hindered from voting.

Mrs. George Gould has a new neck
lace that is positively dazzling and i
said to contain some Of the finest stones
seen in England for long time. It
seems when the Goulds sailed to con
quer English society Mrs. Gould, of
course, had jewels. diamonds and neck
laces, for that matter. These were quite
well enough for America and Lakewood,
but would not do at all for anything SO
grand as England. So the order was
given for something that was a shade
finer than any necklace Mrs. Gould was
likely to meet, and the result is another
feather in Americas cap.
1t also seems that we are going to
lose the Goulds; that English society
has fallen SO deeply in love with pretty
Edith Kingdom that was, or she has
found them so captivating, that the
Goulds will not let their society laurels
cool, and it may be a long time before
New York society has the chance to
take the Goulds by the hand and well
come them into the Four Hundred.

This is the preserving season, when
forehanded housewives put up all sorts
Of fruits in sweetmaata which make the
tea table attractive all winter. In some
seasons and with many fruits there is
little trouble in making these preserves
keep, but at other times it seems as If
the greatest care were bound to be de-
feated and all skill were naught. The
sweetmeats will ferment and spoil.
A chemist of this city, who has been
making special study OF the life and
growth Of fsrment plants. says the rem
edy for this is double boiling. This
must be done with certain reason and
system. II proper precautions are not
observed, he says. you might keep right
on boiling the things time and again
all the year round. and still they would
spoil Boiling will kill all the fermens
plants that are developed from the
spores. but it will not kill the spores-
Spores of ferment plants require only
from eight to twelve hours to develop.
If they are left longer than this, the
spores will have become new plants and
in turn have deposited new spores To
get rid Of plants and spores. therefore,
the preserves should have first a good
boiling and be set away in sealed yes
sells. and then about eight hours later
be brought again just to boiling heat.
Treated in this way, the chemist says.
no further trouble can occur unless new
ferments get in from outside sources. -

The latest addition to the fashionable

and bids fair to be very popular. The
first bodice Of this description was born
in France 1t was made Of black chiffon
over black lace. Flimsy bows Of the
chiffon graced each shoulder. These
bows were the only semblance Of sleeves
which the bodice possessed. But odd as
the idea may seem, sets Of sleeves were
sold with it. They were all Of some
sheer material like chiffon or crepe de
chine, but made according to a variety
Of designs.
One pair Of sleeves were of white
chiffon ruff1es and had a soft, billowy
appearance very effective. Another pair
were very bouffant scarlet pnffs- The

skirts, and the idea is to have the sleeves
match the shirt in color. The Partisan
