WAR ON CHURCH DINNERS
st. Paul Restaurant Keepers Object to So
Many of Them.

St. Paul Restaurant Keepers Object to So
Many of Them.
ST. PAUL Dec 23-The restaurant
keepers are protesting against the numer-
GUS down town dinners given by the wo-
men of the city churches in empty store
rooms in the business district The wo-
men have secured buildings rent free for
the purpose, also donations of provisions
from grocers, butchers, etc.
The restaurant keepers have begun a
crusade against these dinners, and the
following petition is being circulated and
numeroUsly signed:
ITO the Grocers, Meat Dealers and Commission
Merchants OF st. Paul
ave, the undersigned proprietors of
the various restaurants of ST. Paul, re-
specially request and ask of you, the
above named, who have heretofore made
donations to the various churches and
church affairs of this city, who give din
ners and meals to the public for pay, that
you hereafter refuse any and all such re-
quests for donations for the reason that
the same is detrimental to our business.
and for the further reason that SO much
of your regular business is diminished
thereby.
1--WE respectfully submit that the rest
aurants of this city are liberal patrons
of the grocers, meat dealers, and COM
mission merchants, and unless free gifts
and donations are refused to the parties
aforesaid we shall be obliged TO get our
supplies outside St Panl."

as the people get better able to contribute

HE NAMES HIS DEPUTY.
Williams Appointed Deputy Election
Commissioner on Saturday.
THIS is A USELESS EXPENSE

As Ex-MayOr COfran Rightly Says, But
as the Law Permits 1t, Commits
siOner MeMaster Takes Advantage
of 1t.
r. B. McMaster, commissioner of cleo
lions, has named his own deputy and he
is Sherman Williams of the Second
ward.
The appointment was made late Satur-
day afternoon and Williams was at once
notified.
Saturday a local politician went to the
governor to consult with him about the
appointment and he surprised the gen.
| tleman by telling him that he had de-
| cided to leave the appointment of a
| der utY entirely with the commissioner.
| Commissioner Men aster was Immediate
ly informed of the governors decision
and he named Sherman Williams for the
place.
Williams is very well known among
the local politicians as a hard worker.
| He was connected with the city electric
light plant, but when Mayor Fellows
came in be was cut off. The Pay of the
| deputy commissioner of elections is 500
a month but ne does nearly all the work
connected with the Office.
| Some people say that a deputy is not
necessary except Immediately proceeding
election. Among them is ex- Mayor K
| L. Cofran. He said:
II see that there is some contest about
who shall be the deputy commissioner of
elections. Let me ask in the name of
the taxpayers what is the use of a deputy
at all? There is not work for deputy
two months in year; in fact there is not
! enough work for the commissioners him
self half the time and still deputy must
be saddled on the people and paid for
out of their taxes.
sit may be possible to put such con-
struction on the law as to authorize en-
ploying a deputy. but think it was not
| intended when the law was made.
| There is a time when the names ara
being transferred when two or three men
are necessary, and then theyssmay be en-
| pIoyed, but it is folly and extravaganza
10 keep deputy in the Office all the
time at a salary.
"If the commissioner does not want to
stay in the office let him pay $50 out of
his 800 salary to a deputy, and then he
can draw the other $50 a mouth for do
! ing nothing. The commissioner is paid
a good salary and he should at least do
the work of the office toward earning his
salary"

The architecture of the present time is
undoubtedly very much influenced by the
Roman examples erected many hundred
years ago. When the student in archi-
lecture has big thing to do, he invariably
looks up his books and can find among the
work of the Romans more ideas which can
be worked over to suit the present needs
than from any other people.
The Romans were very progressive
race of men. Arts and sciences were fos-
tered under their care, and the works that
they erected were of the most monumental
and of the grandest description.
The baths of Antoninus Caracalla were
the most magnificent buildings in that
line that have ever been built and the
forerunner Of hundreds of similar institu-
tions on a smaller scale that have been
built the world over since their time.
The Romans had the good qualities of
push and perseverance. Their political
system rendered the grand Improvements

WANAMAKER FOR SENATOR
The Pennsylvania millionaire Wants
to SO to the Senate.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-Ex Postmas-
ter General John Wanamaker is candi-
date for United States senator. This fact,
a matter of surnise for months, was de-
finitely established today by the finding
of a letter sent by Wanamaker's manag-
er, State Senator Kaufman, to prospec-
tive member of the legislature from one
of the interior counties. The letter is as
follows:
COLUMBIA, Pa, Nov. 90, 1895.
MY DEAR SIR:-We are trying to con-
vince the Hon. John Wanamaker that he
should consent to be a candidate for
United States senator. Before he will
do this there are some districts in the
state he would like to hear from; among
others is your district VIII you please,
on receipt of this, write him in conf
dence just how, in your judgment, the
United States senator5hip fight stands
and what is necessary to elect anti Cam
eron men?
Please tell him who are likely to be
the candidates and which of them can
be relied upon to vote against Cameron.
II you expect to be in Philadelphia
shortly, l wish you would call on Mr..
Wanamaker and urge him to become
candidate, as, in my judgment, we can
win with him as candidate against
Cameron. Yours very truly,
c, &. KAUFMAN.

SHE SEEKS MEANS TO ESTABLISH

In London a Retreat For Political
ExfIes.
Louise Michel, the evangel of an
archy. will soon be in this country. She
is coming over not laden with dynamite
bombs, but with lecture. It will prob
ably be fiery sort of address, but her
object in delivering it is not sanguin-
airy one.
The "Red Virgin" as she is known
throughout Europe, hopes to make
enough money on her lecturing tour to
establish in London a home where
friendless and penniless political out
laws and banished dynamiters may find
refuge.
Her itinerary has not yet been decid-
ed upon, but is being arranged by an
American manager. She does not ex-
pect to be interfered with by the police,
as even in Paris, where she has more
than once led the mob torch in hand,
the authorities have become tired of
putting her in prison.
Louise Michel is one of the most pic
turesque characters of the century. She
is an old woman now, old and ugly to
look upon, yet she is worshiped almost
as a saint by the common people Of

Cheap Foreign Shoddy Goods.

The people of this country have
heard vast amount, during the past
ten years, about the excellence of for
eign woelen goods. Billy Russell,
George Fred. William, Josiah Quincy
and the other chloride of lime states
men, who entered Democratic politics
to disinfect it, have pictured the woes
of the people obliged to wear tariff
taxed" clothing filed with shoddy,
when Democratic tariff would enable
them to wear the finest of foreign
woolens. IT was represented that the
protective tariff filed clothing madc
in this country with shoddy, though,
as matter of fact, tive pounds OF
shoddy are used in England where
one is used here. Since January l,
when the Democratic tariff went into
operation, perfect tidal wave OF for
eign woolens has been pouring through
the Custom House. They are cheap
woolens, too, and cheap wooleus are
what the Democrats promised. But
they are cheap because they are good
for nothing. They are the worst lot
of goods that ever found their way in
to this country. Tho European man
ufacturers have miscued on the Amer
lean market at their first shot Peo-
pie are tritie poor after two years of
Democracy, but they do not yet wear
clothing that will blow away in fair
wind. Worcester (Mass.) Telegram.

HOW FARMERS FEEL.
ONLY TWO PER CENT. IN VIII.
SONS STATE BELIEVE IN
FREE TRADE.

A Business Man Questions 100 West
Virginia Agriculturists With Most
Suggestive Resu1ts-''Wilsonism"
on the Decline.
My business takes me into many
farming homes in West Virginia, and
for the last two months I have been
sounding farmers on the tariff ques-
tion. West Virginians, as a rule, are
truthful, and I would just as soon be-
lieve one of them as any one else. OF
100 farmers questioned, forty were
Democrats, fifty-ivo Republicans and
five Populists and "nondescripts. "
The fifty-fve Republicans declared to
q unit in favor Of unqualified protec-
tion, rs did also thirty of the Demo-
Gratis; eight of the remaining Demo-
Gratis believed in conservative tariff,
and only two were out and out free
traders Four of the Populists had
no views on the tariff and one said
whatever Jerry Simpson and PETER
did was all right with him. Some of
them told me that while morally GER
tain that free trade would lessen the
cost of what they consumed fully one
third, that they still would be losers
in the glutted markets with their own
products deprecated one-half in val
lie. One farmer advocated uniform
tariff of 100 per cent. and the appoint
ment by the Government of commits
sion to fix the price of oil articles con-
sumed in this country, this commits
sion to be in session every day, issu-
ing daily reports of fluctuations in the
markets.
Now this inquiry elected the infor-
nation that only two out of 100 farm
ers questioned, and selected without
regard to politics, believe in free
trade, and taking the late elections as
guide this percentage will hold good
everywhere and will be taken as On
indication that ''free tradeism" or
"Wilsonism" is on the decline, and,
in fact. never had any footing in this
country so long hlest with glorious
protection. WILL S. GREENLIER.

pie out of employment.
eff all this is to befall us, the ques-
tion again comes up, what shall we do
with Japan?"
Perhaps it is we'll that 'tthe question
again comes up" so soon after the last
election. five have o low tariff, Japan
certainly will food this country with
goods to be sold at SO cheap price
that our factories must close unless
our labor will consent to work for
Japanese wages plus the cost of freight.
In answer to the question, "What
shall we do with japan? ?" it is just as
we'll for the Southern States to under
stand now, as LATER, that our only
remedy against Japanese cheap labor
and industries is protection for Ameri-
can labor and Industries. If their
cheap goods are sold in our markets,
then American factories must be closed.
As the policy of protection is di-
rectly contrary to the doctrine OF
free trade, for which our Southern
friends have hitherto insisted upon
voting, it may be we'll for them to

more new mills in the South and re-
member that the present tariff is but
the beginning of ''tariff REFORM" the
sole aim and object of which is to
establish free trade.
Possibly, though, while the Japanese
manufactured cotton goods are selling
in the markets of the United States,
the manufactul ers of cotton goods i'll
the Southern States will not be en-
tirely idle, because the markets of the
world will be wide open to them and
they may be able to sell their American
made goods in other markets-in the
japanese market, for instance; that
is, if they can find any labor in this
country to work for the same rate Of
wages as is paid to japanese, less the
amount of money that would have to
be paid as freight in sending our
goods to Japan. If we want the trade
| of the markets of the world we must
invariably work for less than their

Potatoes as Pcnh0lders.

''It is surprising" says CONNER.
cal traveller, chow general the use of
potatoes as penholders is becoming
in hotels. l have seen them in use
in great hostelries of the East, whose
owners wouldn't hesitate for moment
to spend $40 for desk ornament to
hold pens used by the guests in reg.
istering. The mixture OF starch, glu-
cose and water in the potato seems
well adapted to take up the imprri-
ties OF ink, and to keep tho pen-point
clear and bright, while the alkaloid
of the potato, known as solanine.
doubtless has something to do with it
in the same line. These elements
readily take up the tennate of iron,
which is the body substance OF ink.
Chemically speaking. starch is the
first base OF potato, and sugar or
glucose is its second base. Thus il
