Ideas of Others.


The New York World, an outspoken
opponent Of Dingleyism as embodied IN
the new tariff bill, practically illustrate
its workings, as follows:
"Under present conditions 100000
yards of a certain quality of wooden
cloth are sold at 81 a yard in this
country. Part of this, say half, Is man.
ufactured here, the rest is imported.
Dingleyism enacts a duty Of 81 yard
on this cloth. The importation drops to
100000 yards, on which the government
gets revenue of 100000.
'The price of the imported cloth of
course becomes So yard. The price of
the domestic cloth goes up ''as high as
the market will bear" Suppose that
100000 yards of it are sold at $3.50 a
yard. What is the net result of Ding
leyism in this case?
"The government gets $lOO,OOO.
':The consumer pays 81 yard on
100000 yards-$1o0,00o.
''The consumer pays 80 cents a yard
on 100000 yards-$4, 100000.
ITO collect the 100000 the govern
inert has taxed the consumer 81, 100, 900.
"And what becomes of this 81, 100, 900,
taken out of the pockets of the people?
Why, almost all of it goes directly in
to the pockets of small group of men
who run wooden mills.
':This concrete illustration, understat-
ing tile workings of Dingleyism, shows
how absurdly misleading are statistics
of our per capita taxation
Speaking of the apparent inactlon of
the present Republican congress, that
stalwart journal, Harper's Weekly, says
The Republican party has an overwhelm-
ing majority IN the house. 1t can carry
out any policy it may have so tar as
the house is concerned. Whether it shall
control the lower branch of the next con.
gress will depend largely upon the rec
ord which it shall make in that branch
during the present congress. The call
ing of an extra session gave it an un-
common opportunity. Instead of wait.
ing for more than a year after the cleo
ton, it was furnished chance to show
its capacity within four months. Con-
fronted with the necessity for prompt
legislation regarding the governments
interests in the Pacific railroads., and
some plan for the legitimate regulation
of transportation rates in view OF the su.
preme courts recent decision concern.
ing traffic agreements, it might before
this time have sent wisely framed meas
ures on these subjects to the senate. A
bankrupt law and other matters OF large
Importance might now be ready to en-
gage its attention during the weeks that
the tariff bill will be before the senate.
AS it is, we have lower house neglect
ing the interests of the nation, while the
tariff bill is being so tinkered as to com
mand a majority in the senate. The Re.
publican managers seenr esolved ''to trust
to luck" The rising signs Of disgust
among the people at this policy should
warn them of their folly.

Give the Hennepin and Ramsey coun-
ty grand jurors time enough and they
will give the politics of this state the
house-cleaning that it SO badly needs.
Nearly all of the rottenness originates
in the Twin Cities, and few more H.
dictments of men who have used money
as means to rise to political prefer
ment will suffice to break the rings and
give ability a chance.--New Ulm Re-
view.
Don't ''nix those children up" The
Indictment of Minneapolis aldermen and
other city officials should not be made
to reflect upon St. Paul. No charge of
this nature, as far as we are aware, has
been brought before any recent grand
jury in Ramsey county. AS for the claim
that ''nearly all of the rottenness origi-
mates in the Twin Cities" we think that
there were few members of the late
unlamented legislature, not hail1ng from
either of these cities, who could give
our friend of the Review some pointers

and thrusting the tube down its throat
into the crop pumps in a supply Of food.
1t is done 90 quickly that an expert
can feed forty dozen birds in an hour.
Experience has taught him the exact
quantity. A beginner Is liable to make
two serious mistakes. He may easily
burst the crop If he does not know ex-
actly when to stop, and he must learn
to keep the birds neck on the stretch;
II he does that, the tube passes down
without meeting any obstruction; but
should there be any slackness or twist

taking care that one supply Of food IL
digested before the next IL given. The
fowls are crammed twice . day-once
between Z and s in the morning, and
once about dark. II the condition Of
the crop shows that digestion has not
taken place, the bird is not fed; and II
the stoppage continues a purgauve Is
given. When sour food is left on the
stomach 1t soon begins to show the con-
sequences in dark. unhealthy looking
skin, which contrasts markedly with
the bright pink flesh OF fowl In good
condition.
It wouldsee that the forced fattening
process is profitable. Chambers Jour-
nal gives the experience Of London
poultry dealer as proof. A lot Of fowls
were sent him from the country. He
sold a few at Is pence, SO cents. each.
He sent the others to his fatting estab-
lishment, kept them under treatment
two weeks and sold them for &C cents
each. The cost of the food used on
them averaged only 6 cents each.

The Rfchts Of a Young Wife.

Before everything else the yonng
woman has a right to expect from her
husband tenderness. sympathy and
faith" says Ruth Ashmore, writing in
the Ladies' Home journal Of what to
Expect from a Young Man." But
sometimes. In his eagerness to make all
life fair to her. he fancies she is doll,
and not woman. And doll is very
selfish toy: it demands careful treat
ment all the time, and it gives nothing
but pretty appearance in return. 1t
Is the foolish wife who expects infalli-
bility in her husband. She forgets that
there is difference between the
housewife and the house moth. She
should expect from her husband polite
ness ut all times, and certain gentle
ness that every man, possessing the
real instinct of a man, gives to a wom-
an. But she should not expect from
him too much. She has no right what
ever to ask OF him permission to live a
lazy life herself, and to give up all her
days and years to vain and idle
thoughts. When the wife can
make her husbands homecoming q
Joy, his home-staying a pleasure and q
delight and his leaving home a sor-
row, then, and then only, can she ex-
pect q great deal from him."

EXAMINING HENS ~ MACHINERY

New and Unique Way Of Filling Up
Chickens to Fatteu Them.
Cramming chickens by force and me-
chanical means to fatten them for the
market is latter-day evolution Of the
poultry trade In England.
The examining Of poultry Is not alto
gether new. 1t was practiced on geese
and. to an extent, on hens, many years
ago by hand process, but now me-

Then more resolute measures are taken.
A generation ago it was done by hand.
The feeder made little pellets Of food
about the size Of acorns. which were
dipped in milk and forcibly thrust
down the gullet. Now the French plan
is being more and more adopted In
England.
The fattening room Is fitted up with
tiers of tiny stalls just large enough
for chicken to turn in. Here the
birds have nothing to do but sit and
grow fat. The examining apparatus is

Marrying q Man to Reform Him.
"The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed, and one which
wrecks the happiness Of many a young
girls life." writes Evangelist Dwight
l.. Moody, in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, sis the common delusion that a
woman can best reform man by mar
rying him. 1t is mystery to me how
people can be so blined to the hundreds
of cases In every community where
tottering homes have fallen and limo
cent lives have been wrecked, because
some young girl has persisted in mar
rying a scoundrel in the hope of saving
him. / have never known such a union,
and l have seen hundreds Of them, re-
suit in anything but sadness and disas-
ter. Let no young girl think that she
may be able to accomplish what low
ing mother or sympathetic sisters have
been unable to do. Before there is any
contract Of marriage there should be
convincing proof that there has been
real and thorough regeneration"
Teaching Daughters How to Shop
A practical mother has determined on
another course" for her daughter. She
has taught her how to shop. 1t takes
costly experience often to show wo-
men the pitfalls Of the shops. The sta
pies Of dry goods, housekeeping linens,
blankets, regular grades of dress goods,
as serges, fannels and the like, the long
list Of white goods-all such and many
more have distinctive charn cteristics,
useful knowledge Of which should be
acquired before attempts to purchase
are made. The rage among women for
bargains" tempts even the most repu-
table merchants to keep seconds" in
stock-it is valuable to know them at
sight and to reject or accept them as
may seem expedient.
