dlscreditable affair could be blot
ted out of the history of the United
States.
There is rumor in circulation
that a movement is on foot to
make Secretary Gresham presi-
dent of the Pullman Car Co., in
place of Mr.. George Pullman, at
the annual meeting of the directors
OF the company, to be held next
July. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the movement will succeed. 1t
would prevent Mr.. Gresham sink
any lower in the estimation of the
people, who have tried so hard to
think well OF him, and would give
him an annual salary of S25, 900,
which would keep him out of
public life.
From advices received in Wash
ington from Kentucky, it is re-
garded as probable that if the fight
now raging in that State between
the gold and silver wings of the
Democratic party is kept up until
election, the state will go Republi-
can. The Republican party has
steadily gained in the State for
sometime past, and with it's pres
ent organization, and good leader
ship, it is believed that it will be
able to easily thrash the divided
Democracy.
The reception given that single
gold standard interview of Secre-
tary Mortons, which was publish
ed as feeler of the public pulse,
has frightened Mr.. Cleveland and
caused him to go little slower in
making his campaign for the single
gold standard. The official an
nouncement that Secretary Carlisle
bad accepted the invitation to de-
liver the principal address at the
"Sound Money Convention, which
is to be held May %, at Memphis,
Tenn, was accompanied by
statement that the Secretary would
in that speech endeavor to point
out the danger to which the coun-
try would be exposed should it at
tempt to establish the free and un
limited coinage of silver indpend-
emily of other nations. The ques-
ton is will he dare to follow Sec
retary Morton and openly declare a
single gold standard to be the only
sound money, or will he follow the
phraseology of Mr.. Cleveland's
Chicago letter and talk meaning
less platitudes about "sound cur
rency" and honest money?'

How to Look Out for Poison.

In face of the frequent accounts
of accidental poisoning, the fol-
lowing facts may prove both in
teresting and useful. In the first
place all copper vessels should be
recovered directly the surface shows
signs of being worn. Neither acid,
salt nor fatty bodies will attack
well-cleaned copper vessels; vine
gar may even be boiled in them
with safety, but should it be al
lowed to cool in the vessels it will
dissolve enough copper to become
dangerous. In copper poisoning
one of the first symptoms is vomit-
ing; that is to say, the poison is
rejected from the system.
Zinc, though it conceals itself
50 often under the name of "gal-
vllized iron," is more dangerous
tam copper. No acid foods or
lii1ors should ever be allowed TO
remain in galvanized vessels.
Lead from culinary point of view,
is the least to be recommended of
all the metals, as it poisons slowly
without producing vomiting, while
tin, iron, steel and nickel are
practically harmless.
But it is not only the vessels used
in preparing food which are dam
gerous; many foods in themselves
are legitimate objects of suspicion.
For instance, the potato becomes
unfit for food when it has COM
menced to germinate, or when it
is green from having been partial
ly exposed to the air while grow
ing. The green part and the ''eye'
contain an undoubted poison,
which has = sharp taste, and is
capable o! producing paralysis, or
even death. At the end of the
winter many pigs are unhealthy
through having been fed on these
green potatoes, or on potatoes from
which the eye containing the germs
have not been carefully cut
Mushrooms should always be
carefully verified by person
thoroughly acquainted with their
peculiarities. Some cooks put a
silver coin with them when cook
ing; if the coin turns black they re-
ject the mushrooms. This is real
ly no test at all, as many OF the
poisonous fungi will not blacken
silver. All animal food in an adj
vanced state of decomposition is
more or less poisonous. Smokers
especially should be careful. as
their taste is often not so fine as
that OF nonsmoker, and they are
less likely to detect a
tin or doubtful fish. |

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(oUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

Washington, April 80 1895.
With all due respect to the posi-
tions held by Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Gresham-positions which
have been honored by, and which
have honored a long line of patri-
OTIS from George Washington to
Benjamin Harrison, and from
Thomas Jefferson to James G..
Blaine-there is only one word that
fittingly characterizes the policy
of this administration in dealing
with the dispute between Great
Britain and Nicaragua, which has
now reached the point at which
Great Britain has given the world
a practical demonstration of its be-
lief that might makes right by
the occupancy of the principal
port OF entry of Nicaragua by an
armed force, and that word is
double dealing. Herbert Spencer
said: "The affairs of the universe
are not carried on after system of
benign double -dealing". but Spen-
Ger wrote before Mr.. Cleveland
was President or Mr.. Gresham
Secretary of State.
1t is as certain as anything not
officially promulgated can be that
the administration has had an un-
derstanding with Great Britain,
which included the acceptance bv
this government of the British

probably fearing that the patriot
ism OF Admiral Meade would be

good pains to have that fleet away

British sailors performed the brave

which had made the mistake of ex-

1T HAS BEEN A SUCCESS.

Labor Day has been Il great success. The
admirable appearance and excellent dis
ciplinc of the various labor organizations
and the enthusiasm of the immens Sc throng
of people who turned out to welcome the
parade are events long to be remembered
by organized labor in Washington. Ii has
made an impression on the minds of the
public that should bring good results in the
future and prepare the way for more IA
vorablc opinion of the men who assist ii.
creating the growth and material progress
of our National Capital.
1t is uscIess TO dispute the fact that busi-
ness men are dependent upon labor Mcr-
chants look to the masses for support.
Capitalists only upon the thrift of the peo-
pie to invest their money. Manufacturers
depend upon popular demand 10 dispose
of their products, and professional people
could not exist were their practice con-
fined TO themselves. Who then are the
great patrons of these several branches of
the business world, and what part OF COM
munities is it where trade brings then:
wealth? The working people-the class
that labors for wages.
Business men who do not recognize this
are blind 10 their own welfare. Their chief
source of revenue has its fountain head
among the working classes. 1t may not al
ways come directly from that source, but its
first impulse depends upon their efforts.
This is best understood in communities .
where labor troubles have caused a cessation
of business, and il should be warning
against allowing working people TO suffer
from the encroachments of heartless en-
ployers.
No country will never experience hard
times that deals literally with labor,
and if the Federal Government of the
United States can find a way to protect
working people from the grind of cor
porate influence, we need never again

power The first equisite is a large,
shapely tree, with branches spr eadins
gracefully at quite a distance from the
ground. Midway between the ground and
that part of the trunk where the branches
begin to spread large plat nj should
be built out, supported at the corner
opposite the trees by strong beams. 1t
should be surrounded by a rustic fence hav'
ing little wicket gate. From the ground
to this gate stairs should lead and the stair
rail should be of the same rustic var iety
as the fence. This platform is capable of
many transformations. A hammock swung

The children and their toys convert 1t
into an admirable summer nur sery. Books

Four small tables arranged to allow free

CHINESE EXECUTIONS.

Latest Chinese advices, printed IN Inc
Times, show that the government of that
so-called benighted country has been much
more virtuous in its prosecutions and
punishment of offenders than had been
previously reported. At last accounts no
less than sixteen of the murderers OF mis-
sionaries and looters of missionary sta
tions had been executed, and there is ap'
parent a strengthening disposition to take
such vengeance as will put fun stop to
further outrages.
The restoration to power of Ii Hung

better acquainted with and more friend

them and who catered to the prevalent

wards the invading and persistent for
eigDers.
These changes of disposition and fresh
proofs of determination on the part of the
Chinese government to enforce order and
encourage a friendly intercourse, CONNER

Notewriting should belong particularly

times just little wearisome to read-espe-

Tie fashionable handwriting of the day

The sharp English hand of a decade or

that SO many of the notes of to-day look

FRArERNAL CELEBRATION.

One of the most remarkable features Of
che German anniversary celebra tions which
are now about to close, is the friendly feel
ing that has been exhibited between the
people of France and Germany when they
happened to meet upon memorable battle
fields. In Paris and other cities there was
little expression of the almost obsolete
chauvinistic idea, and what little was
exhibited was the utterance of a few hot
heads and is in no way illustrative of the
general popular feeling. The German cele-
brations were looked upon as being entirely
proper, and they were probably less denlon-
strative in national feeling than similar
situation been reversed.
This comparative absence of bitterness
must excite the admiration of the whole
civilized world. The historic enmity
of French and German led to anticipation
of really warlike expression from the
did not occur augurs well for n more en-
during peace than some seif-made sooth-
sayers have predicted.
1t is evident that a more fraternal feel
ing has grown up between citizens of all
countries than was manifested even 4
decade of years ago, and it gives basis
for a strong hope that the great standing
armies of the East, which are a constant
menace, will be peacefully disbanded and
a new and long stride taken to ward that
universal fraternity and more perfect
democracy which is the ideal of advanced
economists, one time called dreamers and
visionaries, but now esteemed the practi-
cal and reasonable prophets OF the better
