WHERE IT HAS FAILED.
The Mckinley Administration Has
Been at Variance with True
rnerican Principles.

McKinley's administration came into
which all the men who opposed him
and the views for which his party
stood were described as anarchists, as
men who did not stand by the consti-
tuition of the United States, and dan
gerous factors in public life.
What has been the result?
We have had the Mckinley admin
istration, and it has turned out to be
the one administration that political
history records which has been ready
at all times to sacrifice the constitu-
tion of the United States tc the i'm
mediate needs of politics.
A few days ago this administration
forced through the house of represent
atives a bill for the government OF
Porto Rico which is an absolute ne
cation of everything for which the
constitution stands. 1t means that
congress, by and with the influence OF
the president, feels justified in setting
aside the constitution, in ignoring alb
solutely that constitutional provision
which declares that taxation shall be
uniform throughout all of the United
States, and is ready now to fix plan
of taxation for our dependent terri
tories which they dare not apply to the
territories within the borders of the
United States.
Three years ago the New York Jour-
nal took manly, magnificent and in
spring stand in behalf of free Cuba.
The editor of the Journal and the read
ers of the Journal must know how hard
it was to compel President Mckinley
to take up this fight. Mckinley at
that time, as at this time, was dom
mated wholly by the commercial
classes-by men who would sacrifice
every principle of national honor
sacrifice every tenet of liberty for
their own pockets.
But, after all, the political problems
which confront the people of the Unit
ed States are not so greatly interna-
tional issues as they are home and do
mestic issues. There are people, many
of them in the republican party, and
I am afraid some in the democratic
party, who would like to divert atten-

HOUSEKEEPING PROFESSION.
Drudgery Lies In the Fact That the
Work Not Properly SSs-
tematized.

There is no nobler calling than
housekeeping. The drudgery lies in
the fact that we do not appreciate our
vocation and systematic our work.
The Scriptural injunction to walk
worthy the vocation wherewith we
are called is as applicable to house
keeping as to any other.
As much of housekeeping clusters
around the dining-room and kitchen,
let us see what improvements may be
made there The floors should be kept
nicely swept, and the chairs set out
of the way. 1 have seen rooms where
the sweeping was delayed until the
crumbs, grease, fruit, etc, were
tracked into the floor. Too much
furniture in kitchen or dining-room
makes more work and tends to give

casional blac<ing, and a brushing off
after each meal with an old broom
saved for the purpose. A stove may
be made to shine with half the labor
by using an old broom instead of a
brush. An oiled or painted floor saves
much scrubbing. A woodboX on cas-
tors is profitable investment. and
costs little. A wide shelf in the din

no better can be afforded.

wife. The room is large, the walls
white, wainscoting and floor dark, and
both are oiled. The stove and the uten-
sils used in cooking are always clean.
They are kept so by little attention
to each dishwashing. Behind the stove
is rack where the boys hang their
coats to dry. There are white swiss
curtains, discarded from the sitting
room, at the windows On the shelves,
built over the window sills, are bloom
ing plants and green vine which
climbs up the curtain. The long man.

has washable cover of cream canvas,

clean by a little wiping with clear wa
ter; sometimes it is treated to a milk
wash, as this gives it a polish.
The greatest charm of the room is
the housekeeper. Her brow is smooth,
her face is peaceful. Her motto is:
''There'n be another day" She is
never discomposed by unexpected COM
pany, but sets what she has on a clean
cloth, and makes no apology. People
who come unaware must take 'pot
luck" l have often thought, when see-
ing the worry of some of the sisters:
Better is a dinner of herbs and quiet
ness Herewith than a houseful OF

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was saved.

Washington, D. C.-''When our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with rash which was thought to be
measles In few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
1T was decided to be mumps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. Ike
wanted to lance the sore, but [ would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of a case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsapariila. L decided to give it to
my boy and in a short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that [ stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again. how
ever, whereupon l again gave him
Hoods Sarsaparilla and its persistent
use has accomplished a complete
cure" Mrs. NETTIE CHASE, 47 K St.,

FALSE TO PARTY PLEDGES
Even RepubIicaR Orgn ms Raise g
Howl Against the IcKinIey
Admins .tratho IN.

The last republican, national plat
form contains a plank reading in part
as follows:
I'VE believe the repee j Of the reciprocity
arrangements negotiate d by the last repub-
lIcan administration ws IS a. national caIam-
lty, ana we demand tn cir renewal and ex-
tension on such terms as will equalize our
trade with other natio ms, remove the re-
strlcuons which now (Ibstruct the sale of
American products in the ports of other
countries, and secure enlarged markets
for the products of our farms, forests and
factories"
The present admin istra ton, takin g
1t for granted that tn is plank set forth
a republican doctrine, proceeded to ne
gotlate anumber of reciprocity treaties.
One of them is with France. The good
features of that treaty were mentioned
somewhat in detail few days ago.
We're 1T ratified it would Secure en-
larged markets for the products of our
farms, forests and factories
Treaties have also been negotiated as
regards Jamaica, Barba does, British
Guiana and Bermuda. The United
States is the natural ma rket of those
British dependencies anti they should
NC OAGCAISING purchasers OF American
products. These treaties; provide for
the admission on the payment of re-
duced but still sizable duties of the raw
sugar, fruits and vegetables of those
colonies. In return for these trifing
concessions duties are reduced consid-
erably on American breadstuffs. pro-
visions, and some manufactured goods.
There is no essential difference be-
tween these agreements and those ne
gotiated by Mr.. Blaine when secretary
of state, which were so satisfactory at
the time to American producers
whether republicans or democrats.
But it does not seem as if one of these,
reciprocity treaties is to be ratified.
That with France is doomed to defeat
because it reduces by an insignificant
fraction the enormous duties on silk
goods, cotton knit goods, and some
kinds of glassware. The New Jersey
and Rhode Island manufacturers take
offense at this and say it shall not be.
The West India treaties are to fail be-
| cause the beet sugar manufacturers

citrus fruits so will it. The men who
make cotton lace in Rhode Island do
not care personally how much raw
sugar or how many oranges are import
ed from Jamaica, but they are acting
in concert with those who wish to keep
out Jamaican products as far as pos.
sible. A common desire to make all
they can out of the American produc-
er unites them.
Thus it comes about that republican
senators, submissive to the orders of
certain protected interests, are found
opposing measures which are not mere
ly calculated to benefit American trade,
but which are in full accord with the
party platform. Senators who repu-
date harmful party pledges are free
from blame, but what shall be said of
those who repudiate party pledges
when keeping them pours honest wealth
into the lap of the nation ?-Chicago

Fish CuSfards.

Take the remains of any cold fish,
remove all skin and bone, chop it in
large pieces. Mix with half small
teaspoonful of salt and dust of
pepper, also cayenne if liked. Take
a small dariole mold or little cup for
each person. butter them thicldy in
side, and shake over the butter some
finely chopped parsley. Next, fill the
molds lightly with the fish, but do not
pack closely. Make custard of two
whole eggs and one extra yolk to a
pint of milk Beat the eggs well,
then add the milk. Fill each mold
with the custard. Cover the top of
each with a piece of creased paper.
Stand the mold in a pan with enough
boiling water to come half way up the
tins and steam very slowly till set.
Turn out very carefully and serve
piping hot.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

a GENEALOGICAL HOMILY.

You NAV believe tits true that your cours-
ing blood is blue,
3ut science stern assures us that all
healthy Dlo0d is red
And the longest pedigree that grows on a
family tree
Isn't half so beneficial as a good, long
head.
You may refer with pride to your ances-
tors, beside
Whose fame your light is dim, for letters,
art and pelf,
But 1 trust you will believe it is nobler to
achieve
Enough that you may be some time an an
cestor yourself.
The watchdog well who serves and who
carefully observes
The strangers who approach and wakes
the family with his bark,
Tho he had no pedigree, is a better dog
for me
Than the dog that sleeps, cen tho his an
cestors were in the ark.
1t is right that you admire, and admiring,
you aspire
To trace a noble pathway in your geneal-
ogy,
But permit me to assure that no person,
rich or poor
Ever plucked plum of greatness off the
grandest family tree.
The man who is king, duke or lord, or
anything
That's noble, tho his ancestors were cob
blers at the last,
Has a much more honored way in this lit
tie world to-day
Than the cobbler whose ancestors governed
kingdoms in the past.
And full many a man to-day, to whom
honor we may pay,
Has been overcome in living up to proud
ancestry,
And full many a man been laid in an ever
lasting shade
BY the branches of towering, spreading,
ancient family tree.
So don't take it much to heart when man
takes you apart
And tells you he was bred mid aristoc-
racy's environs,
Tho his ancestors came DER in the May
flower to this shore,
The log book. still, may show that every
one came o'er in irons.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
New Hats, Jackets and Novelties for
the Spring Season Are at
Hand.

The new hats in sight show very
| decided crowns more or less high and
sometimes broad, being made of fine
straw plated into form as if it were
cloth. Tucked taffeta silk hats are a
feature, too, and they are tuIbans,
toques and sailor shapes, whichever
you prefer, trimmed with chiffon ro-
settes.
Among the novelties in neckwear is
narrow band of four silk-covered
cords stitched together, shaped 1T
tie to fit the lower edge of the col
| lar band, and the ends, about a quarter
of yard long, are braided in the four
strands and three silk tassels are the
| finish at each end. This is worn sim
ply crossed in front and fastened with
a stick pin.
Meteore crepe de chimes, spotted
with chenille, like flowers in white, are
one of the novelties of the season.
Jackets for spring are very short and
simple in style, finished with rows of
stitching alone, or very narrow pip
ings with stitching above. Some of
them are double breasted, with hand
some buttons for a finish. Eton coats
are shaped down below the waist line
in front much as they were made in
the autumn.
The warp-proof silk squares for
fancy waists are carrying all before
them, and matinee audience looks
more than ever like brilliant bouquet
since these gorgeous waists have
stormed the feminine heart. Nothing
more exquisite in coloring and design
has appeared on the market, and the
infinite variety of the squares and the
bizarre effects possible in the making
are sure appeal to popularity. The
fact that the silk is colored in the warp
before weaving accounts for the iri-
descent sheen of the goods, and the
French manufacturers until very re-

tion from the crying evils which exist
in our own land to questions of inter
national policy. 1 hope that they will
not be able to accomplish this end.
We have here to-day certain domestic
problems which demand attention. and
which, if not solved, will result in the
ruin of the nation. The greatest, per-
haps, of these is the question of trusts,
and, whether rightly or wrongly, l
feel that it is fair to call attention to
the fact that whatever may be the dec
laration of the republican platform on
the question of trusts, it has been un-
der the Mckinley administration that
the trusts have had their most eXtraor-
dinary development.
To put in a few words what thing
is the opinion of the men with whom
I am associated in democratic party
work about the Mckinley administra-
ton, it is this:
Controlled by the money power.
With England in the fight against the
South African republics.
Imperialistic and desirous of increas-
ing the army.
Wholly unfriendly to the working
classes.
Aristocratic at every point.
The political movement with which
I am associated rests on democracy
and on the silver republicans and the
populace, but, nevertheless, believe
that when men of this type, processing
to be with us, show themselves to be
absolutely without any sort of SYM
pathy for the principles of liberty as
laid down by the constitution, 1t IS the
duty of the democratic party to repu-
diate them, cast them QUITO destroy
them so far as may be possible.
1t does not seem necessary for me to
say more than this. l think that the
weakness, the folly and the danger of
the Mckinley administration all rest
on the tendency which President Nc
Kinley has manifested to strengthen
the military force of the government,
to ignore the constitution, to disavow
the Declaration of Independence, and
to set up in this union an oli9archy
which shall overthrow the republic

MANY Americans are making for tunes out of mining speculation in Mex ico. It is said there are five thousand silver mines in the country and over a thousand gold mines. Last year the mines of Mexico produced in the neigh borhood of forty million dollars. In Mexico, cotton mills are paying enor- nous dividends, and manufacturing plants are being erected all over the country.k "A large quantity of machinery was imported from the United States during the past year, calculated at over six million dollars in value. Americans take advantage of this state of things in Mexico, and with their usual energy and enterprise are placing their money in investments that will yield fortunes in the sister republic.

A MOST frightful looking engine is now rushing along railroad in the New England states. This awful look ing object appears at night with two headlights a yard apart and these headlights are towards each other as if the monster squinted, This specta. cle, it is said, has so frightened several belated gentlemen who were making unsteady tracks for home as to bring them at once to join the temperance cause. We cannot indulge in similar luxury in this neighborhood and indeed the westerner would probably look at matters in different light, and think that he needed nerve steadier, and unfortunately there are objects round here that have tendency to injure that good temperance cause and that

Nothing, however. succeeds like success, and we all bow down to the man who succeeds.

TODAY the fiscal year of the United States comes to an end. The twelve months have been marked by the high est prosperity on record. The nation itself will write large surplus on it's books, amounting to not less than S16,- 000,O0O. This balance on the right side is twice as large as the estimate made by the secretary of the treasury in his annual report last November. It has been obtained in the face of large pay ments for army and navy and the sup port of an army of 10000 men in the Philippines and Cuba. In fact, the country is just emerging from period of war expenditures which began more than two years ago. But the treasury in the fiscal years just closing has been paying of debt, not adding to it, and is also engaged in refunding government bonds at the lowest rate of interest known anywhere in the world.
