Closets and Old Clothes.

Have plenty of closets. Some one says
that women especially appreciate the com.
fort and advantage Of having plenty Of
these convenient receptaoles for old clothes
and dirt" Here is very low idea of good
housekeeping. All the closets In house
should be well cleaned quarterly. Not a
particle Of dirt should accumulate in them
to infect the air Of the house with dust
and stale smells. Old clothes should be
promptly disposed Of Those useful TO be
given away are owed to the needy. Those
which are to make house and cleaning
cloths should be ripped, washed and fold,
ed In box. Those which are kept for rug
or carpet making should be ripped and
cut as soon as possible, Old clothes hang
ing about or tucked into corners I'LL
house with nIoldy smells, moths and
reaches and encourage mice-Exohange.

Culture of GloxInias.

Mr.. Hogan, writing in Gardening,
says Oh the culture of gloXinias:
| plant the dry bulbs in mixture of
dry sphagnUm moss, chopped fine and
mixed with sand, so that when the
bulbs make roots they can be lifted out
of the moss without breaking the roots
AS snan as a good start is made and tw o
or three leaves show they are potted in
light soil composed OF one part good pot
ting soil and one part leaf mold and sand
mixed together, We are very careful
about the watering When the bulbs
are in the moss, they are given plenty
Of water, being careful to sprinkle any
dry spots on the moss They are kept in
a temperature of 60 to 20 degrees at
night, with 10 to 10 degrees more in the
daytime. We consider it essential not
to wet the leaves, and we give shade as
soon as the sun gets so hot there is
danger of burning.

GENERAL WASHINGTON'S "ER.
ROR."

However exalted the character and
services Of public man may be, he is
still open to the vile attacks OF a parry
and partisan press.
When President Washington. in 1873
negotiated with Great Britain what
was known as the Pen treaty, there
was howl of angry vituperation
against him.
James Schauler, in his account OF the
incident, in his history of the United
States, repeats what other historians
have written. He says:
The opposition press bemired Wash
lngton more than ever before: charg-
ing him, inasmuch as he had ratified 1t.
with political hypocracy, and kingly
demeanor; and one who, in Bach's
Aurora, styled himself A Calm OBJ
server, went so far In a foolish legal
bubble over the technical quarterly
division of the Presidents salary, as
to hold him up as one who had over
drawn II, a public defaulter."

ADMIRAL AMMEN.

Rear Admiral Ammen died at the
navy hospital in Washington on July
18th, aged seventy-eight years. He
was regarded in Washington as a
crank in the matter of the Nicaragua
Canal. Having made himself familiar
with the details of its construction, he
undertook to persuade Congress to
adopt his views and furnish the money.
He attended the Senate and the House
faithfully, button-holed members, was
always courteous and persistent. He
advocated the annexation of Hawaii,
because he believed in the extension
of commerce. He bitterly complained
of the refusal OF Congress to aid in can
al construction, and always claimed
that the people We're in advance of the
Government. This was not true. 1t
was difficult for him then, and 1t is
dimcult now to interest the people in
future gains and benefits. The policy
of the dominent party had incidentally
destroyed our commercial marine, or
prevented its growth
The Admiral did not see that when
the national policy encouraged inter-
nal trade at the expense of foreign
trade, 1t was not easy TO interest the
people in a canal that would vastly
benefit the trades of other Nations. He
saw, and others with him also saw,
that the time would soon come when
the growing foreign trade would effect
the great internal industries, and its
needs should be anticipated, by the
construction of the canal. But the
eyes Of the people were fixed, as they
had been, for half a century on the
development of the domestic indus
tries. The merchant and the manu-
facturer naturally asks why he should

TERMS OF. PEACE.

| II the abandonment of Cuba. only
was the price Of peace, Spain, after
walking through the fiery furnace OF
battle would gladly accept it.
But war and victory have changed
the relations Of the parties, and Spain
now deals with a people flushed with
victory: a people who have tasted the
blood Of territorial expansion. Peace
must be made while the blood Is hot,
and the judgment more or less clouded
with angry passions No true man or
American will claim that he Is now, or
can be, able to look at the situation
coldly. 1t is not in human nature to
do so.
The awful responsibility rests upon
President Mckinley, with the consent
of the Senate, to make terms of peace
that are honorable and satisfactory.
What may be honorable and satisfac-
tory to the President may not be so
to the Senate. They disagreed serious
ly on the policy of recognizing the
Cuban Government. They may dis
agree more seriously on the terms of
peace.
II the matter of making peace was
wholly in the Presidents hands. he
would undoubtedly suspend hostilities,
whenever he was satisfied that Spain
would comply with his own terms. But
he cannot suspend them for day, un-
til he knows what terms will suit the
Senate, and the people.
The situation compels him to urge
the war, without relaxation. even II
he feels that peace is in the air. The
situation might be an awkward one, If
the President was not backed by
majority of the Senate. II his own
treaty Of peace did not suit that body.
and 1t refused to confirm 1t. what then
could he do? He, of course, anticipates
all of these difficulties. and will face
them with his usual sense and sagacity.
But whichever way he does. IL will
create great antagonism, and we now
venture to say, will enter largely into
the results of the Fall elections.

PENSIONS.

Congress is in such dread of curtail.
ing the pension list, 1t still refuses &c
prevent raids on the treasury.
The pension laws permitted the min.
or children of soldiers to draw pen.
sions. Many of these minors did not
need the pensions twenty and thirty
years ago. They have grown up since
that time, and are parents themselves.
The terms of the law did not cut them
off from making applications for them
at any time. Applications in great
number are now being made. and the
back pensions are paid in lump sums
which take millions out of the treasury.
Some of the single payments amount
to thousands of dollars The Commits
sioner of Pensions objects, but Con-
gress will not listen to him. Direct
taxation will soon modify public opin-
ion on the subject.

Mrs. G. p. Andrews read paper be-

FLAG RAISING.

II the representatives OF the United
States have regard, and we feel sure
they do, for the feelings OF the natives
and the Hawaiian born, they will, on
the day the American flag is raised,
cause the Hawaiian flag to be raised
also in some suitable place, with the
distinct understanding that it in no
way affects the political situation. II
is now conceded that IT may lawfully
be the territorial flag, and as such II
will remain, at least for some time, n
source of pleasure to the natives. me
dominant power OF the Federal gov
eminent is so vast, that no evil can
come of 1t, and under the peculiar cir
cumstances of Annexation, a graC Gus
act would be done.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1898-08-09

The Washington Star, one of the
staunchest newspaper friends of the
New Hawaii says this of the flag:
When Hawaii is taken into the body
polite of this Union this nag ccases to
exist as an Independent emblem of in
tornational status and the flag of the
Islands will be the Stars and Stripes
states Of the American Union often main
tain flags. and territorial banners are on
record. There is no law against this Gus
tom. nor Is there any national cognizanCe
OF II, nor official recognition OF the cx-
istcncc Of state flags. State seals are
recognized in the law, being appended to
official documents and conveying the
highest symbol of the states action. In
liawaifs case doubtless some arrangement
may be made to permit the Islands to re-
tain their nag and seal, and there Will
probably bo no difficulty in satisfying the
desires Of the newly annexed citizens in
this respect, especially as their petition
II 1t be made, will In no sense reflect up
on their straightforward patriotism and
loyalty to their new allegiance"
The Washington Star, although dis
tant some thousands Of miles from Ha-
wall entertains some Of that old wo-
mansh sentimentality" for the flag.
which the Whang Doodle Star of this
city describes as an insufferable weak
ness OF the native born. The Washing
ton Star is considerable and is a paper
with sentiments.
