EDITORIAL NOTES

ADOuG all Ine repHDllcdu papers III
the land have busted themselves en-
deavoring to explain their defeat IN
the municipal elections last week. but
none of them seem to have struck on
the real cause. 1t was on account OF
so many of them being at Washington
urging their claims for federal ap-
pointments. They were away from
home attending to more important
business than voting for mayors and
such.
Mayor Taylor, of Astoria. did him
self credit by vetoing the gambling or
diuarce recently passed by the council
of that city, but rather spoiled the sem
timent by which he was actuated when
he said the revenue to be derived from
licensing gambling was not sufficient
to justify the 'moral injury" which
would result. BY this one might be
led to believe that were the revenue
greater, the mayor would have been
blinded to morals, and would have ap-
proved the ordinance.
The unfortunate depositors of the
Gobe savings bank at Chicago, which
has just suspended, are to be pitied
more than if free silver had carried
and they had been paid off in 50-cent
dollars. They will be fortunate indeed
if they get 25 cents on the dollar, and
| that too after year of waiting. The
officials must be anarchists, for they
are repudiators to the amount of about
rs per cent. and not only individual
depositors, ''poor working girls, etc"
are losers by their reputation, but
the university Of Illinois will lcse
something like $S00,000.
| 1t has at last been determined that
Ex-Governor McGraw's shortage with
| King county, while acting as sheriff,
amounts to $S710.96. Not having the
ready cash to meet the demands of the
county, he has executed a trust deed
covering $4,000 worth of property,
and has been given five years in which
to redeem the same. Had he been an
ordinary defaulter to the amount of
| $1,000 or even 81, 900 he would have
been given term in the penitentiary,
but it would never do to send an ex-
governor to the pen.
The inactivity of the senate in
considering the tariff bill is discourag-
ing. The delay in considering the
measure is decidedly detrimental to
the country, in that all business affected
by the tariff will be dull until it is
definitely known what the new duties
will be. While we have little hope in
the new tariff law bringing general
prosperity to the country, its final
passage will have the tendency to
settle business down, hence the sooner
the senate disposes of the tariff bill
the better it will be for the country
| generally,

The senate finance committee is
laboring with the Dingley bill and
will be able to report upon it sometime
within month. 1t is generally con-
ceded that only slight reductions will
be made in any of the schedules by the
senate, though there are lot of cam
paign speeches to be made on the bill
by senators whose terms are about to
expire, consequently it will not likely
come to final vote much before the
middle of May.
When a boy becomes unmanageable
nowadays he is hustled off to reform
school. where in about five cases out of
ten he is, through the communicating
Influences of association with other
bad boys, educated to become a
criminal. Formerly he was turned
over the parental knee and given a
lesson in leather tanning. The old
way evidently is the preferable, for it
is more effective as reformatory
measure and considerable cheaper.

The Most Important Compensation For
 All Effects of Fatigue.
 By far the most important oompensa. ton for all effects of fatigue is sleep Everybody. ayen the man mentally most 1efJ deYelops wlIeIf nv ,,i,s--es .tlssar ,f mental effort which he cannot afford continuously without suffering We need, therefore, regularly recurring pc riods in which the consumption of men tai force shall be slower than. the eon- tlnuous replacement The lower the de gree to which the activity of tho brain sinks the more rapid and moro com plete the recovery
 The mental vigor of most men is usu- ally maintained at a certain height for tho longest time in the forenoon. Eyi- dence of fatigue come on later at this tune of day than in the evening, when the store of force in our brain has been already considerably drawn upon by the whole days work. If no recovery by Sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect, the consequences will invariably. make themselves evident the next day in q alepression of mental vigor, as well as n arise in the personal susceptibility que.

Addition to Yellowstone Park.

Captain Anderson, superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which would add the Jaekson's Hole country to the park The area which it was proposed to take in is about 50 miles square and contains Jackson's lake and the Three Futon mountain peaks, It is rich in natural scenery and would. in the opiu- ion of the captain, add materially to the parks attractiveness. Senator Gar ter of Montana has drafted bill for that purpose, which has tho indorse- ment of tho senators from Montana and Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have not yet been won over. Omaha Bee.

 The management of the vineyard is an interesting study and ono which to be successful requires technical knowl- edge. In the large vineyards Q ----ssg' Il. <z4---.S.. =ssf1ffseIE E59ves personal super vision to every detail. Sometimes a manager or overseer performs these du- ties. One of the largest growers in this section tells me that the most suceessf, grewer is the foreigner, who, with family of eight or ten, comes and leases or buys 25 or 50 acres of land, each member of the family having his or her part in the work to perform from spring until picking time. while tho winter , devoted to the making of the baskets. Thus no outside expenditure is incurred, and when the grapes are sold the pro- eeeds return to the family as the profit on the individual labor of each member quite in contrast with the large owner, who is compelled to hire help to do each little thing in addition to buying his baskets.
 The Concord grape is the only variety LII any bdus6qu6uG6 tuistu III lulS l5S lOut and some idea of tho magnitude of the business carried on may be had when it is known tliat the shipments for one year from Chautauqua county alone will amount to $500 carloads, 5000 baskets of 1 0 pounds each in each ca. These are taken from the grower b. sonie5 one of the numerous growers as- sooiations, whose business it is to find a market Strange as it may seein, 1t is nevertheless true that three-fourths of them go topoints west of Chicago, while the other one fourth travels eastward.
 The making of baskets is all impor- tant item. Many factories are employed. Tho price ranges from 3 to 3 115 cents per basket. Thus tho grower who would find his business ih any way profitable must, in addition to tho cost of the basket, realize at least f cent per pound for. h $ grapes, while today it is cornn1o'l thing to find compound basket on tho retail market slow sale at 10 cents. Thus WIG find that the utmost care must be taken in the management of a vine yard to mako it profitable. -C Chautau 1 quan

Night by night the attendance at the opera house, to witness the per formanees given by Punch Robert sons excellent dramatic company, grows larger and larger. This, in itself, speaks well for the company. and shows that OUT theater-going public appreciates merit and always award it liberal patronage. "Polly and r was the title of the play last evening, and it was presented in a superb manner. Each and every member of the east apparently did his utmost to give satisfaction, and from the hearty and spontane- ous applause accorded, they suc= eeeded admirably. The Phantaseope, Edisons wonderful invention, which reproduces pictures from life to the minutest details, gave the specta- tors great pleasure last evening, and set them to marveling at tue inge- nuity of the great man who conceived and made such a wonderful meehan- ism.

< ROYAL CORNER.

An Amor ean attending q wedding re- eeption in 3 great house ill London con gratulatod bride and bridegroom and passed the usual compliments with tho host and hostess.
 Thero was a great throng of guests, and he could not finger at the entrance of the drawing room when there were many behind him anxious to offer their greetings,
 Peroeiving quiet corner to the right Of the bride where q gentleman and a lady were standing apart from the other guests he went directly to it, unWit- tingly coming to stop between two royal personages.
 The American was not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queens daughters and had turned his back upon another member of the royal family. He stood quietly looking -abouf, hoping to see some ae1lllai tsi'aes iE ftl.s company wIUh whom he might have 2 chat, and soon became uncom- fortably conscious that he was attracting attention and that the hostess and bride were casting uneasy glanees in the di- reetion of the corner where he had taken shelter While the drawing room was crowded, the company of guests with ono consent avoided the secluded corner where he and his two royal companions were stationed.
 An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming with in hailing distance motioned to him. 
 occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng, while everybody stared at him When he reached the spot where his acquaintance was wait: ing for him, the stage whisper was breathed into his ear:
 You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are privileged eharac- ter because you are an American, but no Englishman ventures to turn his back upon a prince or a princess. People were staring you out of countenance because they took it for granted that you must De. a royal parsonage, yet they were un- able to identify you. ''
 The answer might have been made that every American is a sovereign by the divine right of equality of free cit izenship but this would havo been a meaningless pleasantry in an English drawing room, where social etiquette has 0 sanetity superior to loyalty to democratic principle.
 The American thanked his friend for rescuing him from an embarrassing DO. sition, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion,
 No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of condescen- sion 10 the host and hostess and they remained on exhibition as the patrons of this social function without having their corner invaded Everybody was careful not to approach them too close ly, and there was a general sense of re- lief when they departed and the neoes- sity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed.
