A LONG TRAMP ENDED

of the proposed tramp of two young men.
Ural S. Hughes and Louis L. Beers,
whose destination was the university at
Berkeley. across the bay from San Fran
cisco. Word is received that they arrived
in San Francisco on Sunday night,
travel worn and dusty, having tramped
the entire distance of 500 miles between
Los Angeles, the starting point, and the
city on the bay in fifty-two days. They
doubtless reached Berkeley yesterday.
They had two objects in making the long
tramp on foot-to see the country and
perform missionary work for the Young
Mems Christian association, of which
organization they are members; and they
delivered addresses in every town along
the route where there are Y. M. G. A.
branches. The students reached Santa
Crux in time to be present at the water
carnival and participate in the parade.
At that place they were presented BAN

A houselteeper with half a century's
experience says that cleaning kitchen
tables and sinks with soap is a great
mistake. 1t disintegrates the fiber Of
the wood and turns it yellow. She SAYS
that very hot water and borax. or very
hot water alone with plenty of strength
will give the very best results. This ID
all very true, provided one uses cheap
soaps made of chemicals and all sorts
of denominations, but homemade soap.
which should abound in every well
regulated kitchen, will not produce
this effect; and the work is much more
easily and quickly done than with
simple hot water and scrubbing. One
OF the points of grace in women's work
is to have learned to do things easily
as well as to do them thoroughly. A
woman might, with much more profit,
occasionally buy a new table than to
wear her strength and life out clean
ing the old'one, when by a little knowl-
edge of science and chemistry she
could n%eutralize the grease and wash
off the compound of oil and alkali with
a few dashes of boiling water.-N. Y.

A PULLING PROBLEM.
ProtectiOnists Are Unable to Account fc
Increasing Prosperity.

ProtectlonIsts Are Unable to Account for
Increasing Prosperity.
If the average reader can divest him
self of the anxiety induced by trouble
between capital and labor at n time
when their harmonious action would
be so potent in the promotion of gem
eral prosperity, there is amusement in
the efforts of some of the organs that
are trying to make political capital
out of the strikes now going on in the
country. This disposition is especially
noticeable on the part of those papers
that think the republican party should
make the tariff question the leading
issue in the next national campaign
and are doing all in their power to in
fate the boom of Gov. Mckinley. They
may possibly be embarrassed by the
fact that they are publishing their own
Inconsistencies broadcast, but there is
o heroic effort to conceal this conces-
sion to common honesty behind a bold
front and a reckless indulgence in I'M
supported assertion.
No explanation is attempted of their
contradictory claims that prosperity
has come because a republican congress
has been elected, and that there are
serious labor troubles because of I'M
wise legislation on the part Of the
democrats when in power. Whatever
pleases the people these organs credit
to their party. Whatever is regretted
by popular judgment they charge to
the democrats. Pursuant to such poll
cy they Of course attribute the present
strikes to a repeal of the Mckinley
laws. 1t would be sufficient answer to
this absurd claim to recall the disas-
trous uprisings Of labor when those
laws were operative, but this would
give an inadequate idea of the gro
tesque attitudes which these boomers
are assuming.
Those who own the ore mines in the
upper peninsula are still the bene-
fciaries Of a protective tariff, which
they acknowledge to be entirely salts
factory. The demand for their product
is brisker than it has been for years,
and If they are not bagging all the
profits incident to advanced rates it is
attributable to their own lack of bust
ness foresight. The carpet manufac-
turers Of Philadelphia get free wool
and hence pay less for their raw ma
terial. There is an ample demand for
their products and it is difficult to see
how a reduction Of expenses would i'm.
pair their ability to meet the demand
of the weavers for better wages. The
same fact has a like significance with
the manufacturing clothiers Of New
York, and they are all the better OF
because of a market that is greatly ex-
tended since the Wilson bill went into
force. There is no attempt on the
part Of the protectiunists to tell what
causes the conditions they affect to
lament, but they go II blind and de-
clare that there is safety only in the
restoration of McKinleyism. Detroit
