Best Way of Help.

The Republicans in the House who
favor relief for Cuba and also believe
in protection, have, it appears, laid
down their ultimatum. They stand by
the principle of the Tawney amend
ment. They oppose any reduction in
the sugar tariff, but will help the
actual planters by granting them a
stated rebate. This takes the matter
out of the hands Of the sugar trust,
and gives whatever is to be conceded
direct to the producer of the sugar.
1t is undoubted that this is the best
way of help, and it should carry, If
there is to, be any concession at all.
But Cuba, from all accounts, is in bet
ter industrial and financial condition
right now than ever she was in all her
history.-Salt Lake City Tribune.

Yep, fine. 1 done TUX her."
They Wanted to Live Away

When asking Gen. Miles to tell me
stories of individual bravery that had
come under his notice in battle, SAYS
a writer in The Denver Post, he said
he believed the most abandoned cour-
age he ever saw was displayed by
a young colonel The regiment was
marching into battle, the band was
playing and the step was quick and
courageous. Shells began bursting
among the men and four or five would
drop at a time. Still they marched
quickly, but the shells fell thicker and
the men began to move more slowly.
Faster and faster the fire burst On
them and the soldiers halted. Sud
denly there dashed out of the smoke
the young colonel, and riding in front
he swung his sword over his head and
yelled, Move up; what's the matter
with you? Do you want to live for
ever?''

Lees Refusal to Dispense.

Gen. E. P. Alexander relates in the
Century these interesting words of
Gen. Lee, just before the surrender.
Gen. Alexander having proposed that
the Confederate soldiers be authorized
to dispense and report to Gen. John
ston or to the governors of the states.
Gen. Lee replied:
Suppose 1 were to adopt your sug-
gestion, how many do you suppose
would get away?"
I replied: 81 think two-thirds of us
could get away. We should be like
rabbits and cartridges in the bushes.
and they could not scatter like that
to catch u.s.
WELL he said, 81 have less than
10000 infantry with arms in their
hands. Even if two-thirds of these
got away it would be too small a
force to accomplish any useful result
either with Johnson or with the gov
ernors of the states. But few would
go to Johnston, for their homes have
been overrun by the enemy and the
men will want to go frs and look
after their families. AS to any help
from Europe, I have never believed
in it. 1 appreciate that the surrender
of this army is, indeed. the end o.
the confederacy. But that result is
now inevitable, and must be faced.
And, as Christian men, we have no
right to choose a course from pride
or personal feelings We have simply
to see what we can do best for our
country and people Now, if should
adopt your suggestion and order this
army to dispense. the men, going
homeward, would be under 40 con-
troll. and. moreover. would be with

For the first time in nearly five
years the Republican party represen-
tatives in Congress have been called
upon to vote on the question, Shall
the Dingley tariff be sustained? In
order to secure an Affirmative answer
to this question these Republicans
have been compelled to rely upon the
assistance of their political adver-
saries. With the aid of free-trade
Democratic votes these Republicans
have succeeded in attacking and I'M
dermining the principle and policy of
protection to American labor and in
dustry. Is not this a strange position
of affairs, that a Republican measure
should be assailed by its friends and
its assassination accomplished by the
aid of its enemies? 1t is done under
the plea that we owe something to
Cuba. A monstrous debt, indeed, that
requires such payment!

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the Iaundryman or the home ser
want cannot do 1t. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each enc with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired bv the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

No Sentiment In Trade.

There is no sentiment in trade, and
foreigners do not buy of us simply be-
cause we buy of them. That is amply
demonstrated by our trade with South
America. Brazil imports over $780,
600, 600 worth and the United States
supplies about 10 per cent of those
imports. The United States buys from
Brazil five times as much as it sells
to that country, and it carries on a
one-sided trade of that kind with
other South American countries

A Soldiers Narrow EscaDe.
