COMMENTS OF THE PRESS,

"A tariff for revenue for monopo- lies is about the Mckinley idea.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 -Fortunately for Boss Hanna, his ambition to get into the senate is not hampered by the necessity of being elected by q vote of the people of his statc.-St. Louis Republic.
 -McKinley's cabinet will be one of second-raters. No man with position and reputation to sustain will go into it willingly. If any of them are forced into it, they will get out before the end of the term. There is danger ahead. and there is not one of them who can fail to see the red light.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 It is said to be the intention of the committee on ways and means, now working on new tariff bill, to keep the results of their deliberations secret until they are presented to the next con- gress. The hearings" though, may give the matter away on the principle that man is known by the company he keeps.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TWIN RELICS OF BARBARlSM.
Protection and the Gold Standard Foster
 Trusts and Reduce Wages

The hopes of higher duties under the incoming republican administration is nerving the manufacturers to combine and raise prices of products and lower the wage rate. In addition to the new life given to the old trusts organized under the Mckinley robber tariff law, number of new combinations are already formed since the election or are in course of incubation. This is on the line of what is known as re- publican protection to American la- bor." Now, if the goldite party is not the father of trusts, and if the cap- italistic combines have no reason to expect aid from the Mckinley admin istration, why is it that there is now. in every industrial line, a marked ac- tivity in the organization and reorgan- ization of unlawful combines? new cordage trust has already been formed: a sandstone combine has been organ ized; the print paper manufacturers have arrived at an agreement to pool interests; the window glass trust has reorganized in a stronger and more dangerous form than ever; the lock- makers trust is in the field with an advance in price of 25 per cent, and combinations big and little are enter ing into the spirit of plunder that has been given new life by republican suc- cess. But wages-ah, we'll, that is an- other matter. The gold standard must necessarily produce a reduction in wages, or, what is the same thing, a lessening of the opportunities to labor. with the corresponding result of sev- eral men looking for one job. Great is protection and the gold standard. If the country don't get its surfet of these twin relics of barbarism" be- fore 1900, the State Register will have missed its guess.-Illinois State Reg ister.

PROMISES AND PIE Cavsrs.
Republican Campaign Lies in the Light
 of Facta.

It seems to be fact that the single gold standard. as a policy, is not real izing the expectations of its friencs rr the matter of improving conditions We were assured that after the silver scare was at an end business would pick up and activity would oe resumed in all branches of commerce and industry. In fact, it was said that nothing prevented n restoration of normal conditions ex- ccpt the silver craze, which, it was al legged, had destroyed public confidence and created uncertainty and disturb ance. Nobody now contends that nor nal conditions have been restored or that there is any prospect of their early restoration. Anybody who would make such contention would be compelled to admit that normal conditions are nothing to brag about.
 Of course. under ordinary circum- stances, the fair thing would be to wait until the new administration had been afforded an opportunity to put some remedial legislation on the statute book. assuming that legislation is a good thing for a diseased condition of business; but the circumstances of the present case are not ordinary. We were told that nothing was needed to restore prosperity but confidence; just confidence. and that the only way, and the sure way, to create confidence was to elect Mckinley. Nothing was said about waiting for legislation or even for the majors inauguration; his elec- tion was pledged to do the business. The Buffalo Times admits that the election of Mckinley did not cause the recent bank failures and the general as- signments reported during the past few weeks, but it insists that neither has his election verified in the slightest degree the predictions made by his or gans and their assistants that conf- dence would be at once restored, gold would come out from it's hiding places, mills would reopen, the avenues of em- 1 ployment would multiply, wages would rise and peace and plenty be our portion evermore." Other papers refer to tfi
 matter in similar terms, and this indi- | cates that general expectation banked oH tue IHdJOr eleCtlOn as the tnlng that, in realization of earnest promises, would create confidence and restore prosperity. We fancy, therefore, that a vast number of people have by this time reached the conclusion that it is much easier to vote for thing than to get it after voting for it; and that there is a great deal of pie-crustiness about re- publican campaign promises. - Bing- 1 hamton (N. Y) Leader.

The amount of transformation and downright falsehood that has been placed before the ways and means com mittee during the tariff hearings would be astounding to anybody who was not familiar with the methods always em- ployed by interested persons to extract greater favors from the government than they have any good reason to ask tor.-Providence Journal.

Flannel in Sumner.

1t is mistake to abandon the wear
ing of flannels in summer, considering
the sudden changes of our climate
erratic conditions of the atmosphere
which sometimes gives us July day
colder and more bleak than one in jan
uary. A good way to wash ordinary
flannel is to pour strong, boiling soap
suds over it in a tub. When cool
enough to allow the hand to bear it,
pour off the suds and add boiling hot
clean water; let this stand as before,
then pour off and add more boiling
clean water. When cool enough, squeeze
the garments, but do not wiring or rub.
Stretch Immediately on line in the
hot sun or by a hot fire, pressing out the
water with the hand, as it settles in the
dependent parts of the garments.
Stretch the flannel as soon as the water
is pressed out. keeping it hot until dry,
as much as possible. This treatment
will keep wooden garments soft and
pliable till worn out.-Housewife.

Popularity and n Sian.

One of the incidents that conduced to
give the queen temporary popularity
in Ireland was this: She and the prince.
with the prince of Wales and Prince
Alfred, were driven in their roomy car
riage to Mr.. bargains exhibition. The
streets and windows were thronged.
There were only bright faces, and the
air was filled with cheers. She bowed
very affably; the prince held his hat a
little before his forehead, and hardly
bowed. The prince of Wales took off
a cap with a white band and held it
rather gracefully, as if to show that he
should have bowed were the queen not
present. Prince Alfred looked a little
sulky and kept his cap on his head.
The queen did not appear to see him,
but she did. She whipped the cap off
his head with one hand. and with the
other gave him such slap in the face.
1t was done in an instant, and without
any change of countenance. Thunder
ing cheers marked the approval of the
tude.-Contemporary Review.
