such state leaders as Bill Leeds and
Charlie Porter, who is chairman of
the state republican committee,
Cooper and Dave Martin and others,
and a lot of democratic leaders we
paid $500 apiece, and 5000 apiece to
local leaders, and SIS to men who
manned the polls on election day. We
paid the county commissioner to let US
have the poll list exclusively for our
use with the understanding that we
were not to returnit till after election.
We paid weekly papers from $50 to
$500 to publish such matter as we
might furnish, either news or editorial,
but the city daily papers we had to
pay from $1,000 to $4,000. Other papers
we could not buy straight out, so we
paid from 30 to go cents a line for
all matter published. We paid the
Ledger 40 cents and the Record go
cents, though it did some good work
for US for nothing. We employed a
man to write for us and prepare arti-
cles for publication which we fur
nished the newspapers to print as we
directed, either as editorials or news.
We got so many ministers with US by
getting a good man in the church who
could "work'' the ministers with little
trouble, for half the preachers are
towards. Then [ hired, for SO much
name, some broken down newspaper
man or politician to get the names of
ministers and lawyers, which we pub
lished with fine effect. We talked
high license all the time. Never try
to defend the saloon; if SO, you lose
the influence of church members and
minister's; but talk about the revenue,
cider, taxation, and especially prohi-
biton don's prohibit, and clamor for
high license" 1 was paid $4,000. We
came out of the campaign with $50, 900
debt to the newspapers, but the COM
mi1tee made an appeal and raised it.
The Nebraska amendment campaign
was Won for the saloonists by the
same methods, with violence added.

President as Good as a King.

In view of the recent attitude of
Count Goluchowski, the Austria
Hungarian foreign minister, in regard
to the difference in the standing of
the heads Of republics and of mon
arches, the dictum of King Edward,
holding that the honors to be paid to
presidents and crowned heads at the
time of his majesty's coronation shall
be Identical, has special interest. The
question arose during a discussion of
the details of The decorations to be
bestowed, and the mode of entertain
ment of the heads of states attending
the coronation. The King refused
point blank to distinguish between
the titles of president, king and en-
peror, arguing that his object was to
honor the state and not the man. No
distinctions will be made, except pos
sibly in the case of lear relations of
the royal family.

endless Chain Liquor Sellers"

The government should forbid the
endless chain liquor sellers" the 8
of the mails. This fraud has had ar
airing several times in the Washing
ton county court. The method is
very similar to the usual endless
chain. The first victim receives a
nice typewriter letter with a hand
some engraved heading, and five
coupons. These he is to sell to four
of his friends at % cents each and
sends the money with 81 to the COM
pany. When the four tickets he has
sold are returned he is to receive n
gallon of fine % pure (?J whiskey
prepaid. His four friends can do the
same, the inducement being one gal
Ion of whiskey for 81. The state
courts very properly hold that the
sale of each ticket is a sale of liquor.

CARE OF GLASSWARE.

You would be amazed II L couI0
put into figures the amount of
valuable glassware that is annually
destroyed through careless washing.
When we see whole windows filed
with costly glass we are apt to wonder
how such an extensive stock can be
disposed of, but inquiry will prove
that the buying is continual-there-
fore there must be a corresponding
breakage to make room for it. Some
of it undoubtedly comes through I'M
avoidable accident and the rest must
be charged to ~carelessness or ignor-
ance, which is just as reprehensible.
We do not half understand how
fragile glass really is. If we did we
would never think of cleansing it in
the neighborhood of an iron or soap
stone sink. We would provide two
wooden bowls which do not cost more
than ten cents each, and fill one with
moderately hot and the other with
cool, not cold, water. The glass
should be washed in the first bowl and
rinsed in the second, then placed on a
linen towel, folded once or twice, to
drain. After being wiped and pol
ished, all with care, the glass will look
as if it had just come from the shop,
where cleansing is an art.
When the glass is dee ply cut it is
necessary to use a brush with moder-
ately stiff bristles as the dirt cannot
be removed from the grooves in any
other manner. That is the manner of
cleaning used by dealers in fine glass
ware. Some women, who treasure
their belongings, have the bowls of
water brought to the table at the close
of each meal and do the nice work
there. Glass silver and delicate china
suffers very little at the mercy of low
ing fingers and whatever damage is
done cannot be laid upon the shout
ders of the servants. There is some
thing deliciously old-fashioned and
high bred in this manner of caring for
ones belongings, and it adds another
to the list of feminine charms.
Decanters and water jugs require

be a sediment from the nature of the
liquids they hold. Ordinary cleaning
al be done by filing them about two
thirds full with pretty warm water
and putting in a few pieces of we'll
soaped brown paper. They must be
left for two OIL three hours, then shak-
en up and down and emptied out.
There must be a rinsing in clean cold
water and they must be allowed to
thoroughly drain. The outside can be
easily polished with a fine towel, but
to get at the inside is a difficult mat
ter unless one can secure a bamboo
stick to move about the part of the
towel which can be crowded through
the opening.
Some wines and some kinds of vim
egar leave a discoloration which re-
quires more than soap and water to
conquer it. A little muriatic acid
added to the water which is left in the
bottle for two or three hours will gen.
orally remove the stain. Shot and
ashes may be we'll enough for COM
mon glass bottles, but fine glass will
not stand such rough usage. Thin
tumblers cannot be handled with too
great care. In homes where the
money supply is not large it is waste
full to use such glasses unless the pos
SCISSOR is willing to wash them.-Er.

A HIT THAT WENT BEGGING.
An American Manager who Refused to

poser once mrde an American
manager that was refused, remarks
the Cincinnati Enquirer, which, had
ii been otherwise. would have made
him m Independents fortune. The
manager Was George Holland, who. ut
the time, was directing the Grand
Avenue .thoatcr, in Philadelphia.
Wien "pinaforc' was running in
London Mr.. Holland happened TO be
there, and one night met Gilbert and
Sullivan at the Garrick club. They
usked him what he thought the opera
would do in America, and Mr., ilol-
land promptly replied that he feared
lis refined satire would not be appre-
ciated in this country, and after some
further talk fatty refused nm offer Of
$500 for the exclusive American
rights. subsequently "Pinaforc'
was brought to America by another
manager aud presented at kiralfys
thcatcr, now the Broad Street thoater,
Philadelphia, and, as Holland had
predicted, played originally TO empty
benches. Soon after this, however,
the tide turned in its favor, and those
who read do not have TO be reminded
of its subsequent record. Holland
himself, who is authority for the
statement, says that had he accepted
he could have amassed an almost CO.
lossal fortune out Of thc'onc piece.

RUDYARD KIPLIN0.
Story That Gives Point and Meaning to
One Of His Ballads.

Dispatches from New York to the
Milwaukee Sentinel convey the infor-
maton that Rudyard kipling has sued
another American publisher for in
fringement Of copyright. This is the
fourth or fifth luckless publisher with
whom kipling has gone TO lpw, and
doubtless there are others upon whom
he is angrily glazing. Despite the fact
that Americans have stuffed his pock-
cts full Of dollars. the East Indian has
no kindly feeling for this side OF the
Atlantic, and the book publishers who
have perhaps too readily appropriated
his wares have stirred him to great
wrath. Long ago, when he was a
struggling aspirant, he had his first
tilt with Yankee pirates, as he then
dubbed American publishers. The
Ilarpcrs, in 1890, printed some Of his
uncopyrighted stories in book form.
They wrote to him that they were not
legally bound to pay him, but that
they considered it but fair 10 COM
pensatc him, and they enclosed a
draft for $50. In a caustic letter,
kipling promptly returned the draft.
Shortly after be- met William Black.
Thomas Hardy aud Walter Bcsant, all
Of whom were friendly disposed to-
wards the llarpcrs, aud freely ex-
pressed his opinion Of the Yankee
pirates. The three English authors
defended the American publishers,
and this stirred kipling TO write his
ballad Of ''Thc Three Captains" In
this ballad he pays his respects to the
three captains.
