Secketauy Cakmslk gets deeper In the
mud with every step he takes. The
bankers have abandoned him to hts fate.
W. C P BnECKiNninciE, after his ex
perience at Cincinnati the other evening,
ought to be convinced tbat the American
people have no immediate use for him
either as a lawmaker or teacher. Ills
lecture was extensively advertised. It
was stated that he would take high
grounds and pose as an apostle of purity
and light in politics, all with a view to
v
tftelplng hi in in his candidacy for the
Unnte'l States Senate. Just 200 people
attem&edt 24 of whom were women. The
lectureVJn itself was a fiilure and the
small bcV receipts were seized for a debt.
Altogether the affair was a dismal failure.
Mr. Breckrldge should recognize the
act that the!W Is no future for him in
politics or the lecture fluid so long as he
fails to evldencany real regret for the
past by his acts.Penitence and humility
go hand in hand attd the brtzeness with
which he has attiwipted to avoid the
consequences of his aM by forcing him
self upon the public's StUution i, the hut
means by which he ctP hope to gain
either its sympathy or foixlveness.

Tit as baldly slated, tl fact may
f-ouiu persons us dange?uun. Hut
Iroportlott Iihs Increased vt" little
tho Hst fW"Uty yours. It wasS 23
pcrfnt. in 1870, aud although the actual
immigration during these twenty years
has numbered H.028 70S, the proportion has
only advanced to 33.02 per cent. More
over, this includes not only the immi
grants themselves, whether young or old,
but all their children bom iu this coun
try, and these alone number over 11,500,
CCO, so that persons of foreign birth num
ber only 14 4 per cent, of the eutire p pi
latiou, or about one seventh. It Is rather
noteworthy that the whole number of
foreign-born persons living in this country
is only a million greater than tne number
which arrived within tho twenty years
precedlug the census of 1800. Of the
foreign-born inhahltautH, too, u consider
able percentage must be of children born
abroad, who came hither with tho enor
mous itntuigr it ion of the Inst decade.
If ability to change one's mind is, as
Home contend, proof of the possession of
that useful organ, Secretary Carlisle has
certainly proved that he has one. Since
he entered Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet less
than two years ago, changing his mind
has been his chief occupation. Just be
fore lie became a Cabinet minister ho
made up his mind to issue bonds for the
preservation of the gold reserve as soon
as he took ofllce. After he got into office
he chutiyed his mlud and delayed action
for tnotrhs. Meanwhile he announced his
iutiiutinn of paying sliver certificates in
stiver only, and a few diys later took it
bank. His sudden changes of attitude on
the Sherman Repeal bill and the Tariff
bill are notorious. Neither can any one
li ive forgotten that, although the whole
of his inns Congressional record was that
of a thoroughgoing free silver man, he
1 's this month come before the couutiy
as an enthusiastic advocate of a single
gold standard. And now, to cap the ell
max, he has changed his mind on the
s -j c of ctr-ency reform, and has pre
P'ire'1 a nev. bill in a substitute for the
oi.e be has bem trying to force upon an
mullling country Dellevers In thu
theory set forth above cannot possibly
deny that Mr. Carlisle has a great And
woid -rful mind.
TllK lottery lobby is bald to bo gather
lug lu force at Washington and to consist
of new ru-wi lu order that it may purmi"
Its work withjut publishing its plans, as
the open and visible activity of the old
valture of the vestibule would too surely
do. A good many of the members wel.
come the appearance of these emissaries',
taking them ln charge and giving them
general ly the benefit of their legislative
and diplomatic experience. The lottery
has plenty ot money to spend If any of Its
purposes can be furthered, and among u
certnlu class of legislators its agents will
bo objects of the most assiduous and un
remitting attention. But it is not likely
that thoy will do ranch. The business is
outlawed and lifts taken refuge In Hon
duras, and tried to roach its old source? ot
tribute through a florlda agency. Hut
that will be pulled up by the roots. The
United States will not have any lottery
using Its mails and doing business under
any subterfuge or ln any roundabout way
within Its territory, and will certainly
wake every attempt in that direction a
felony. Some outgoing members of Con
Kress with no political future and no char
acters to lose may pocket its bribes and
busy themselves in its behalf, but their
efforts will come to nothing. Its friends,
in both houses, as they reveal themselves,
will be pretty carefully watched.
RHEUMATISM PREVALENT.
Caused by the Sudden Changes of Tern
perature. Rheumatism is more prevalent here
than ever before. When this disease
fastens upon an individual with its sore
ness and pain, swelling the Joints, ren
dering him helpless in his movements, he
is indeed an object of pity. Tho slight
pain ln tho back, pain or stiffness of the
Joints or muscles, is a warning indication
of an lmprovished condition of the blood,
a low state of health, and if not attended
to at once, means rheumatism. Itheuuia
tim can now be cured.
Since the introduction of Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, there have
been fewer sufferers. Favorite Remedy
drives out rheumatic poison from the
blood, restores the circulation, strengthens
the nerve power. The best proof of its
value, is the good it has done.
"I was afflicted with Inflammatory
rheumatism for fifteen years," writes Mr,
K. P. Tayer, of East Nassau, N. Y. "So
severe that I was supposed to be a cripple
for life. Under physicians' treatment I
grew worse. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy helped mo from the time I first
used it, and entirely cured me."
The beautiful daughter of Mr. James
McFarland, of DesMolnee, la., was help
less for months with sciatic rheumatism.
After a few doses of T)r. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy, she began to grow
better, appetite improved, slept well, and
continuing its use, was cured.
Mr. G. Lansing, of Troy, N. Y., had
rheumatism so bad that he had to be
turned over in bed. After using Dr. Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy but a short while
was restored to health. Why then suffer
with rheumatism or neuralgia t This
medicine will help you.

Marion Butler, tho leading Populist of

perhaps silver, would co-operato with tlio
Republicans.
If ho is olootod he will bo tho youngest
member of the senato, being only 32 yenrs
of age. Peter Pritcliurd, tho Republican
leader, who, it is thought, will becomo his
colleague to 1111 out the t vo yoars' unex

young mun, bolng but little if any over 10
years of ago the combined ages of tho
two about equaling the age of the retiring
Senator Ransom. Sonator Jurvls is also

Tho Republicans are certain to gain a
sonator from North Carolina, and in tho

In this legislature tho Dontocrats hive
only eight members out of forty ln thesbn

AVabihnqtok, Jan. 2. With brltrht
skies oTcrhend, reasonably clean navo-
meuti uuder foot and orlsp, oloar wintry
nlr, offlolal Washington was favored with
nil the conditions nocossary to tho com-
ploto onjoyment of such a New Year s day
as only Washington knows.
According to the time honored custom,
whloh was olnorved to tho lottor, all of
ficials called at tho Whlto liouso, where
thoy woro reco'ved according to tholr rank,
to pay their respoots to tho president. All
tho cabinet secretaries, gonornls and ad
mirals lu turn received tho officials of
losser rank, and many congressmen and
otliors kept open house for their constitu
ents and friends. Society in gonoral has
in past tlmo given itself over to the mak
ing and receiving of formal calls, but in
Washington, as ln other cities, tlio observ
ance of tlio first ot January as a social day
has como to be disregarded, nudthero woro
probably fewer open housos yosterday than
over before.
Tho people who did not tnko part in tho
old fashioned observances hud fine oppor
tunities, however, to obsorvo thoso who
did. It was nothing short of a show ln
tho fashionable section of tlio city; tlio
spootaclo of streets crowded with hand
Rome turnouts making tho rounds from
one olllci.il residence to another, the gold
laco and many colored regalia of tho dip
lomats of Europo and Asia, upon which
tho populace uro privileged to gazo but
this once in a year, aud tho impressive
uniforms of tho army nnd navy which tho
officers statlouod at headquarters rarely
find occasion to oxhibit.
All tho brilliancy and interest of tho
day were for throo hours sheltered under
tlio roof of the oxocutivo mansion, whero
tho gaslight in tho big ceremonial parlors
fell on banks of palms and troops of richly
attired iudles, and many notablo men.
Apart from thu interest which always at
taches to tlio president and his family,
Mrs. Clovoland lias a personal popularity
which draws many to hor receptions. Yes
terday sho shook hands with ovory man.
womo i and child who filed past in tlio
long procession of three hours length, and
gave to tho grjoting of each ono a warmtli
which gained for her tho everlasting friend
ship of Hie recipient,. Tho presld uit also

The irrepressible yountrstor whs in line,
;is 11 mil, ami ono of t.iem voiced his on-tliiihiiu-.ni
appropriately, as ho thought,
!y shouting ni'illy : "Hurrah for Grovor!"
as ho walked iiuo tin blue room. Ono
old man, a cr.pplo walking on crutches,
seemed tirod ha camo in, and Mrs.
Cleveland led him to a chair among the
cabinet ladijs and tinted him to rest, so
ho -.at in tio stuto parlor for half an hour
watching tho prooossiou.
The man "with wh-;ls in his head,"
who has 1moii personally commissioned by
,lhjoil.tqd(ismiit'thln5rldlcuhms or
dangerous, is tlio terror of these occasions.
Ho was on hand yesterday. Very appro
priately ho wore long hair, and after he
had pushed tho polieo lie drew from his
pocket a document lwaring weir 1 sym
bolic designs in tvd ami bluo, but the ap
pearance of thu receiving party seemed to
dazzle him, o that ho merely shuilled past
without putting it to any ttso.
Tho policeman who endeavors to do his
duty in coinpulllngthoobiorvancoof regu
lations, aud uppi-ehends some high dig
nitary of tho government iulils misguided
zeal, is always in evidence. Yesterday ho
endeavored to bar Secretary Lamont from
tho blue room, but readily yielded his
point when the s -eretary good naturedly
revealed ills identity. There wero no ac
cidents, however and no unpleasant inci
dents, and tlu fee 'ptiou was a success, al
though not o many people attended as
camo last year.

A BIG BUSINESS THAT HAS GROWN
UP IN THIS CENTURY.
Product or Ono of Uneland's Xatge Fac
tories The Ancient Itoman Method of
"StriklnB n tlcia" Different Coutrlv
nce That Preceded tlio Lucifer.
Fow people wnsto a thought about a
match. Moroly a little, commonplace,
everyday trlfio of a thing mado of wood
or wax, tlppod with lntont Dnmo, whore
wlth thoy klndlo fires and light tho sooth
ing plpo or comforting olgnr. It does Its
hurablo work nnd Is contemptuously cast
asido. And yot tho match is nu ovolutldtr
roprosentativo of much human patlenco,
ingenuity and skill and is ono of tho host
gifts sought out and elaborated by human
genius for tho benofaotlou of tho raco.
Whon Promethous stolo tho sacred flro
from Olympus, it wasn't ln tho form of a
luolfor match that ho did so, or his pun
ishment from Jovo might havo boon oven
moro terrible than it wns, becauso Its use
fulness to upstart man would havo bcon
so much moro formidable. Long ages hnd
to pass, nnd tho nineteenth century after
Christ bo well on its way beforothomntch
as we seo It today wns oven thought of.
As an industry tlio manufacture of
matches has vory imposing proportions.
Thoro is something Impressive about fig
ures to tho nvorngo mind, and a few sta
tistics will carry weight.
Just take ono of tho largest English fac
tories, for example Ordinary wooden
mntches aro turned out of that establish
ment yearly at tho rato of 2,500,000 gross
boxes. Each box contains from 00 to 100
individuals. If any ono has tho curiosity
to figure out what this amounts to, he
will llnd it means a grcnt total of 80,000,
000,000 of theso woodon splinters, each
ono of which is a tiny mngnzlno of flro
nnd potential agent of mighty mischief.
Tho samo factory produces ' sufoty"
matches to the amount of about one
seventh of tho ordinary mntohos 1. 0.,
about 5,000,000,000 in tho year. It also
produces about 52,000 gross boxes of vesu
vlnns, whilo wax vestas nro poured out at
tho rato of 35,000,000 a day, or 10,500,
000,000 nnnually.
This is all very imposing nnd is calcu
lated to insplro respect for tho match.
For tho vestas produced by that ono facto
ly three tons of wax nro used ovory work
ing day, meaning a total of some 750 tons
in tlio year. Cotton to tho amount of 250
tons Is also annually required to produco
theso little effects. Tho samo factory's
annunl consumption of vitreous phos
phorus is 80 tons or more, while tho num
ber of persons employed is ln tho neigh
borhood of 2,000. Now, in tho neighbor
hood ot London alono tlicro are about a
dozen factories of varying size, so that
from facts like theso ono can begin to
havo a faint conception of what tlio
tnatchinnklng of tho world moans. Tho
total annual valuo of English match man
ufacture has been estimated at from 1,
500,000 to 2,000,000, and England is not
tiio greatest producer of matches.
Tho man who grumbles becauso he
must rlso betimes of n cold, frosty morn
ing and light n flro for tho household
whilo It is yet dark should thank his stars
that, unlike tho ancient Konuiu similarly
sltuntod, ho docs not need to spend bis
strength rubbing together two pieces of
hard wood until tho spark comes. Ho has
no such trouble In starting a lira us many
a better man than ho among his forbears
has had with a flint and steel. For 400
years, from tlio timo it made its nppcar
anco during tho fourteenth contury, the
clumsy und ill smelling tinder box, with
its assortment of steel, flint nnd sulphur
tipped "spunks," was the mainstay of thy
forofathers when they wanted to start n
flro. It was tho discovery of phosphorus
in 1073 by Brand of Hamburg which first
set human Ingenuity nt work searching
for improvement on tho old order of
things. Tho first efforts, though not grop
ing In tho dark altogctlior, woro far
onough from successful. Phosphorus was
soon found to bo both inconvenient and
dungcrous. Ono of tho curliest schemes
for its utilization was to rub a piece of it
betwoon two folds of coarso paper and al
low the spark of flro so produced to fall
upon o "spunk." Tlio long and tho last
of such clumsy mothods wns that phos
phorus fell Into disuse. It was another
chemical dlscovory about tho beginning
of tiio prcbcnt contury that gavo an lm
potus to Invention and finally led to tho
match as It is today. Berthollet was the
chemist, and the discovery whb known as
''tho principle of tho oxidation of coinbus
tlblo bodies by chlorates in the presence
of strong acids." Making practical appli
cation of this principle, Chancol in 1805
produced his so called "oxymarlnto mutch
es," ln which strips of wood tipped with
a mixture of chlorate of potash, sugar nnd
gum wero ignited by contact with sill
phurio ncld. About this tlmo also there
woro vnrioua nonphosphorlo light produ
cers moro or less in vogue. Ono of theso
was known as ''pyrophorus. " It was pro
pared by roasting alum wltii flour and
honey or sugar and Inflated by cxpnsuro
to tho air.
As early as 1780 thoro woro clectro
pnoumntlo lira producers" in use, ln
which a jet of hydrogen wns inflamed by
an olectrio spark. Tho Dohcrolnor 'plntl
