 Comparatively few people attended to- days meeting to protest against the ap- pointment of Monsignor Sbarreti to the bshopric of Havana. committee of four, including General Maxine Gomez, was ap- pointed to visit the bishop and to inform him respectfully of the wishes of Iuhe Cuban people. It was argued that it would be bet ter to take this course on the chance that Monsignor Sbarreti would express will ingness to resign, and thus Ito save the work of organizing some forty sub-commit- tees of protest from the various parts of the diocese as was originally proposed
 A resolution was offered advocating that a protest be sent direct to the pope and that nothing further be done until his an- swer had been received, but this was nega- tived by large majority, it being argued that the movement might grow cold were the agitation Ito be dropped for six weeks, the time it was estimated it would be re- quired to get a reply from Rome.
 A representative of the popular commit tee of protest who was present said that general manifestations in opposition to the appointment were about to be made in the provinces of Matanzas and Santa Clara on the day after the landing of Monsignor Sbarreti, but that the letter which General Gomez published in the Havana papers telegraphed to many towns and had the effect of deterring the inteding demonstra- tors.

TWO DECIDED OPINIONS.

Henry Watterson. editor of the
Louisville Couiier-Journal, has this
to say relative to the recent election !:
''As the Democrats are cast down
by the result of this election, so will
the Republicans be elated and thrown
off their guard. They will fancy they
have the world in sling. They are
certain to proceed to excuses. They
cannot restrain either their zealots or
their scamps. All the clever rogues
of the time, seeing where their steal
ings and pickings lie. have got into
the Republican party. The new tel
ritories are veritable gold mines of
pillage. Acts of outrage cannot be
repressed or escaped. The people at
home will stand aghast before the
riot Of corruption and despot,sm. and
with the disappearance Of the fancied
dangers incident to change of par
ties, as it were, in the face of the
energy, or words to that effect, where
withal the Republicans have eluded

Gen. Morton L. Hawkins takes this
view:
1.-THE defeat Of W. ]. Bryan, tn
second time, places him in the class
with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster
and James G. Blaine. Such men, it
seems, are not fated to be Presidents.
True greatness is not an essential ele-
ment in the makeup of an American
Chief Magistrate. History has dem
onstrated that fact repeatedly. This
is Bryan's last campaign as Presi-
dental possibility. To court defeat a
third time with him as leader, not
withstanding he is the ablest and best
equipped statesman III either party
today, would be political blunder
little less than criminal His over

A NEEDED LAW.

Anyone who looks at the ballots
that were cast in this city on the 9th,
will realize the absolute necessity OF
the passage of law requiring the
use of rubber stamp in voting.
Many ballots were rejected becau e
the voter made a check mark on his
ballot, while some made a sign like a
ins.ead of an and some placed
marks like an o. The e ballots were
rejected under The law. yet the last
decision of the Supreme Court was to
the effect that the intention of the
voter was to be recognized in the
counting for it is clear that any sort
Of mark after name conld convey
the idea to the counters what the vot
ers intentions Were
An attempt was made in the Senate
four years ago to pass bill allowing
the use of rubber stamp. 1t was
championed by Senator McCone and
fought pers. Silently by Sardis Sum
merfeld. 1t was beaten by one vote
and when Summer6eld was asked
why he fought such lew, he replied
with a cunning chuckle, that the
present law was productive of re-
counts and good for the lawyers
Possibly Mr.. Mcmillan will realize
the full force Of this remark
The law should be enacted at once
1t sh ould also go further and be as ii
is in other States. The tickets should
be printed in columns 81 e by sfdt

voter be allowed the privilege of plac

A FEW DAIRY POINTERS.

Use great care in turning to pasture.
Give good feeding of hay in the morn
ing and do not leave them out al;
day.
Do not leave the herd out in the
showers. The rains are cold in June
even, and loss will result if careless in
this respect.
Take the world over, there are more
good COWS and sensible men than there
are poor cows and fools. The trouble
is to get the wise men and good cows
together. When we do this fewer men
will be complaining that "dairyin' don't
pay"
Sour milk may not be relished quite
SO much by calves at first, but it is u
good thing to raise calves on if they
cannot have it sweet invariably. A
change of food from sweet to sour oc.
casionally is detrimental to growth
and often begins scours.

THE ART OF IRONING.
How 10 Smooth Ont Delicate Fabrics,
Such ms Linen Nnpery, without
| SprinlSling Them.
Fireside.

This is not the old-fashioned meth
cd of not ironing them at all, or of
folding them and putting weights
upon them. 1t is real ironing, and it
looks well when done. Sometimes it
happens that the ironing might be
done, but the sprinleling has been
overlooked; in this case wet n sponge
and press nearly dry; take the gar
ment to be ironed, dress skirt, sup
posedly, a rather particular one, per-
haps. Rub over with the sponge, a
small piece at time, iron it and re-
peat until entirely done. You will
find that clothes ironed in this way
will look very smooth and nice, often
nicer than as though they had been
sprinkled, for, unless this is done
evenly and the clothes folded some
time, they will not iron smooth. The
sponge process insures smooth and
even surface if the irons are hot.
This is an excellent method to use
in case of delicately colored materials
which one fears may run" if left
sprinkled some time. The immediate
ironing prevents such disaster, for
the garments do not need to lie damp
IT is well-nigh impossible to iron To-
BILE linen and such things smooth
when once thoroughly dried; there
are countless fine wrinkles dried in
that it takes n skillful laundress tc
press out. The sponging process acte
like magic upon these. Indeed, it is
safe and easy for the general ironing
and often superior for all starchet
things. These often lose their stiff
ness from lying damp, but with the
sponge method all the stiffness is re
tanned and gloss and smoothnes'

NATIONAL AID NEEDED.
Hut Each State Should Also Contrib
ute Toward Making the Good
Roads Movement n Success.

The agricultural department calls
attention, in a recent circular, to the
fact that 81 states have created labor
bureaus or bureaus of industrial stats.
tics, while but half dozen have high
way commissions with jurisdiction
over road affairs.
The average state legislature is start
lingly prolific in measures for regulat-
ing almost every conceivable BUSINESS
that is carried on within the state.
1t does not stop with regulating the
activities of mankind, but occasionally
takes n shy at the laws of nature, sus-
pending them or repeating them ac-
cording to their own pleasure. Singu-
larly enough. the most important ques-
tion that vitally concerns the indus
trial prosperity of the state-that of
good roads and how to provide for their
constructions. almost entirely ig-
nored by the legislatures. Some of
the states whose legislatures put in
their time fixing passenger rates for
the railroads provide nothing but mud
roads on which the farmer must haul
his products to the market.
The first steps in the inauguration
of good roads movement in each state
should be to legalize bureau of high
ways or the appointment of a nonpar-
tisan highway commission, whose du-
ties should be to establish n capable
engineer in each county, to systematic
local laws and locate suitable material
for road purposes. The system of
working out road taxes" should be
abolished and the poll taxes should be
collected in cash. This, combined with
the principle of state aid, is the only
practical solution of the good roads
problem. In addition to this work on
the part of the state congress should
appropriate funds for the offices OF
| public road inquiries or the establish
ment of a national highway bureau to
cooperate with the states in educating
public sentiment concerning the i'm.
portance of good roads and how to
construct them.-Chicago Times-Her'
