Dear grandma, will try to write A very little letter. If do not spell the words all right, Why, next time I'll do better. My little rabbit is alive
 And likes his milk and clover. He likes to see mo very much, But is afraid of Rover. Two got a dove as white as snow. call her Polly Feather. Sho flies and hops about the yard In every kind of weather. think she likes to see it rain, For then she smooths her jacket And seems to be so proud and vain The turkeys made racket. The hens are picking off the grass And singing very loudly, While our old peacock struts about And shows his colors proudly. I think I'll close my letter now. I've nothing moro to tell. Please answer soon and come to sec Your loving little Nell.

lures, his further reasoning is very
acute. The deficit, on normal basis,
he admits, would have been $42, PAS, 103.
But. as the deficit Dec. 81. 1897, was $751;
9O1, 1928, there was a reduction during
the last six months of the year Of 49,
652.719. Therefore, he concludes, dur
ing this latter period the receipts were
that amount in excess of normal eX-
penditures and. again therefore, the
Dingley tariff is all right. This does
credit toe the assistant secretary's
adrOitness, but it leaves intact that
dreadful deficit of nearly $5O,OO0,0O0,
where Mr.. Dlngley assured the coun-
try a year and half ago there would
be, after making every possible allow
ance, a surplus of $75,000,000.
The disingenuousness of Mr.. Howell
lies not only in this twisting of fig
ures, but in his assertion that increas-
ing receipts are due to the Dingley
tariff" The treasury has two chief
sources of revenue, one from customs
through tariff on imports, and the 9TH
er from internal revenue taxes. The
Dingley act of 1897 changed only the
rates on imports and left the internal
taxes where the Wilson act put them.
Tariff revenue, being dependent upon
the volume of imports, falls with its
decrease. The statement of foreign
trade recently given out shows that our
imports have fallen from $145,274,039 in
1896 to $S2, 6S7 in 1898. The decrease
in receipts from customs follows, pro-
portionally, the decrease in the value
of imports on which they are
based, and amounted in the fis-
cal year to about $23,O00,000 1t is from
internal taxes that the increase has
come, amounting, as we recently show
ed, to $4,000, coo. Something may be
gained, possibly, by Mr.. Howell's
method, but we venture the statement
that Mr.. Dingley is thanking his
lucky stars that a war came and per-
mitted the laying of increased internal
taxes to cover, with their increase of
the revenues, the dismal failure OF his
tariff measure.

The Bed of Ease.

The Duchess Alexandria of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin who will some day be queen con-
sort of the Danish throne, is having a led
made in Copenhagen that will be in harmony
with the blue and white decorations, the vel
vet and silk hangings of the room. II is of
antique oak, carved in wonderful fashion and
set with medallions, each gem painted by q
famous artist and signed by him. The springs
are triumph of skill, ard the lower mat
tress Is of white felt, covered with heavy
pale blue silk embroidered in white. Above
this is mattress of finest hair. covered with
the same blue and white silk. The sheets
are Of cobweb lnen embroidered on the edge
and ornamented with insertions of costly lace
The blue eiderdown comforter is covered with
rare Cluny lace, caught at intervals with
small rosettes of white chiffon.
So much for the aesthetic side Of the thing
Now for the practical and modern. At the
head OF the bed carved cupids hold invisible
electric knobs. BY reaching out her hand the
princess can turn on the electric light which
filters through small globes yelled in silk
can call her attendants to her side, can es-
tablish telephone communication and talk
with person in any part of the castle with
out even raising her head. Most important
of all. she can make an electrical connection
which will send hot air I'D through the
springs and mattresses and warm tine bed in
fashion that would make hot-water bag
burst with envy And yet there's a theory
that the head that wears a crown, or is
threatened with one, rests uneasi.y.

The Last Straw.

Minnesota has been very patient
under the manipulations at Washing
ton in the war department that have
kept her two regiments, the Twelfth
and Fourteenth, in camp at Chicka-
manga, while other regiments from
other states, mustered in at much la
ter dates, have been sent off to the
front. Now, when the white wings of
peace are lowering over the two coun-
tries, and the prospects for service are
narrowed down to garrison duty in
Cuba and Porto Rico, Gen. Wade's
provisional division is made up for this
service, and neither regiment is among
those selected.
This is the last straw that breaks
patience down. Here are eighteen
regiments chosen for Wade's Puerto
Rican expedition, every one of which
was mustered into the service after
both Minnesota regiments were. The
Twelfth Minnesota was the very first
regiment mustered in under the first
call for troops. Why is it left and
these later regiments taken? The Chi
cago Tribune's Washington CORE
spondent says that there is politics in
the assignments. No doubt OF that.
Anything Alger has to do with would
have to have politics in it, or some
thing more substantial Is he distri5-
uting regiments as Clough did COM
missions? Is he laying pipe for 1900?
What is the matter with Minnesota's
congressional delegation, that the
Michigan matchmaker can put these
Sights upon their state with impuni-
ty? We are told that they have re-
monstrated without effect. Are they
being punished because the state dared
to think that she had a son fit for the
presidential nomination? Is this snub
an intimation that she must not be
presumptuous in the future? If there
is politics in it, what connection has
Minnesota with it? The protest from
the state should be loud and vigorous.

Extracting Surplus From Deficit.

Assistant Secretary Howell, of the
treasury, is a cheerful fellow given
to seeing silver Innings on darkling
clouds and solacing mishaps with the
reflection that they might easily
have been so much worse. So, when
the unyielding. indisputable figures
present to him the sordid fact that the
expenses Of this government have out
run its receipts. and the fiscal year
closed with a shortage of $9S, 249 log, a.
little in excess Of what the Globe
estimated it would be, and $173, 0OO, 900
more than Mr.. Dingley, eighteen
months ago, estimated it would be,
Assistant Howell complies the figures,
gives them out to the country and
smilingly assures it that the Dingley
tariff is all right. True, he arrives at
this conclusion only after some ex-
pert and quite adroit computations by
which he converts the incontestable de-
felt Of $9S,O00,000 into a supposititious
surplus Of some $9,OOO,OO0
He does this by deducting from the
$9S,0OO,O00 of deficit $56,OOO,0O0 expend-
ed during March, April May and June
on the army and navy. This ignores
the rather important and necessary
fact that expenditures on account of
the army and navy, like the poor, are
always with us. They averaged, for
several years past, from 100000 to
$7,0OO,0O0 month. The abnormal ex-
penditure during the four months
caused by the war was between $685.
100000 and $50, OOO, OCO instead Of $5s, 0o0.-
600. But, granting his evident assump-
ton that the $56,OOO,O0O were additional
to the normal war and navy expendi-

Marian Evans CT Jane Porter,

OF all the famous novelists,. George Eliot
or Miss Jane Potter, to give her right name
was the most unromantic both in appear

Truly. this is secret worth letting out
since it has been kept from all the biogra-

dictionaries that George Eliot's right name
was Miss Jane Potter, or Porter, as it reads
further down the column. Would that the
