A Crying Wrong.
In a recent editorial the Cleveland
Leader utters some, sensible views on
the subject of inducing working people
to leave this country for foreign lauds
to obtain homes and employment. The
Leader says:
"A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexico,
ways that the Americans who a few
years ago established a cooperative
colony on the western coast of Mexico
t nre now in a destitute condition and
are seeking meaus of transportation
■back to the United States. A few days
fcince part of a band of colonists who
!went to Brazil several months ago to
establish homes for themselves arrived
in New York without money and thor
oughly disgusted with their experi
ence. They reported that it had been
impossible for them to do more than
maintain existence in the South Amer
ican republic. From time to time al
luring inducements are held out to the
working people of the United States to
go to Mexico or Central or South Amer
ica and establish colonies. In every in
stance a rosy picture is painted of the
conditions existing in those countries,
and it is made to appear that life is so
much easier there than here as to make
a colonial existence a paradise in com
parison with the lot of the poor here.
Invariably, we believe, these colonial
enterprises have proved failures, but
none has been more conspicuous in that
respect than the Mexican colony at
Topolobampo. The conditions of life
may be hard from time to time in the
United States, but as a whole the peo
ple of this country are better off than
-those of any other, and there is no place
in the world where the people have so
much to eat and wear and are so well
housed as in this great republic."
This is a great country, with all sorts
of climates. At Memphis, Tenn., one
morning recently, the thermometer
registered 89 degrees in the sliade. By
noon tho mercury had climbed to 99,
nnd by two o'clock in tho afternoon to
104. Several boys were arrested for
Fwimming in Wolf river. Several cases
of sunstroke were reported. The Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, which sup
plies this surprising information, sup
plements it as follows: "There is no im
mediate prospect of cooler weather, and
■to add to our vexations the flies and
mosquitoes were never worse, and the
turkey gnats are simply horrible. But
for the outdoor concerts, the river ex
cursions and the open cars life would
hardly be worth living. The signal ser
vice office is authority for the statement
that no such weather has ever been
seen in Memphis. Oh, for a breath of
fresh air!"
A singular incident occurred in the
Christian church at Georgetown, Kj.,
a few dnys ago. Just after the com
munion service a strange woman arose
in the audience and, in a tone of deep
solemnity, said: "I am a stranger to
you, but not to the Christian denom
ination, having been a member of that
church for years." Pointing to the
wine on the table, she continued: "The
wine you have there is not the emblem
of the blood of Christ, but is an instru
ment of the devil and the saloon. 1 have
known many j*oiing men to die in
drunkard's graves whose first taste of
wine was in the church. You ought to
use the juice of raisins."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 5, 1807.
A majority of tho executive committee
of tho Indianapolis monetary conven
tion, more generally known as tho
Hankers 4 convention, are in Washington
trying to talk senators and representa
tives into supporting a bill providing for
a monetary commission. The members
of tho committee profess to be jubilant
over the bill's outlook, but senators
and representatives appear to be entire
ly indifTerent to the subject. Rcprescn- !
tative Heatwole, of Minnesota offered
a resolution last week for the creation
of such a commission, but there is
nothing in sight to indicate that it will
be acted upon, notwithstanding the im- j
plied support Mr. McKinloy gave the
scheme just after the Indianapolis con
vention.
There is some very lively kicking
among the newcomers at the working of 1
Mr. McKinley's rule against reappoint
ing men who held office under Harrison.
When this rule was first announced the
newcomers were delighted, but tl e look
at it differently now, when they see tho
case with which the members of the
"ex" brigade are quietly gathering up
the good things. The reappointment
of Mr. Palmer to be public printer was
received with wry face 9 by the new
comers, but when Mr. Palmer took
charge of the government printing office
and reappointed W. 11. Collins chief
clerk and 11. P. Brian foreman, words
were uttured that cannot be printed in
a family newspaper.
They are telling a little story about
Czar Reed at the expense of a number
of senators. According to the story, tho
Czar just before tlie meeting of tho
extra session, attended a dinner party
where the guests wore nearly all sena
tors, some of whom where expressing
direful forebodings about what would j
happen to senatorial dignity when "Hil
ly" Mason, with his free and easy
manners, entered that body. The czar
tired out of that sort of thing, and turn
ing to the senators asked in thatexaspcr
ating drawl which lie doesn't drop Into
J so often in the house as lie used to, "Do
you think Mason will stay in the senate
long enough to become as dull as the
rest of you?"
The tariff bill has been in the hands
of the senate finance committee long
enough to make it certain that it is going
to be cut and slashed very much by that
committee, not to mention what will be
done to it after it gets reported to the
senate. Republican senators are very
free in saying that the bill is not what
it ought to be. That, of course, Is not a
sure sign that it will be bettered in the
senato, merely a sign that it will be very
much changed. The clause making the
duties imposed b. th • hill when it be
comes a law collectable on all importa- ,
tions ordered after April l, is generally |
regarded as merely a farcical scarecrow,
set up to frighten timid importers.
The selection of ex-Representative
Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio, to b •
commissioner of patents, a place lie fill
ed once before to the satisfaction of all
those having dealings with the office,
can scarcely be considered political, as
Mr. Butterworth has expressed opinions
upon the tariff and silver question that
were a long ways from being in accord
with those held by Mr. McKinloy and
the men who are dominating his adminis
tration and the It p iblican party at this
time. Mr. Butterworth's appointment
can be credited to the friendship of Mr.
McKinley for him, and to his eminent
titness for the place.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chairman
of the Democratic national committee,
has issued an address indorsing the ap
peal made by President Black, of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs, for a celebration of the 154 th
anniversary of the birthday of Thomas
Jefferson, the author of the Declaration
of Independence and the founder of tin?
American Democracy, on the thirteenth
day of this month by all Democratic
organizations.
It now looks as though Speaker Reed
really intended to carry out the
programme of only having the house
meet twice a week—on Wednesdays and
Saturdays—and adjourn. It may be
that lie can keep this filing up during
the two or three months that the senate
will take to pass the tariff bill, but
many are predicting that he will have
to give the house a chance to do some
thing or it will do something in spite of
him.
The office-seekers have proven to be
too much for Mr. McKinley and the
official announcement is made that he
will this week run away from them by
taking a little trip for two or three days
for rest.
Not much surprise was caused by the
announcement that ex-Secretary Carlisle
had imcn retained to look after the legal
interests in the South of the J. Pierpont
Morgan establishment. S.
"If would appear," says an exchange,
"to be the policy of the; Republican
party to attack tho schools both in front
and rear at the same time. Mr. Pingley
j proposed to hit the colleges and unlver
! si ties by Imposing a tax on imports of
books and philosophical appartus; and
| the Pennsylvania legislature has voted
down a proposition to extend the term of
teaching the primary schools from six
months to seven each year. There may
i be a deeper political purpose than is
j apparent to casual observation in this
attempt to curtail the spread of en
, lighteninont."

DAINTY LITTLE FANS.
Some Are Beautifully Painted and Most
of Them Very Costly.
The most expressive little accessory
of a woman's dress is her fan, if she
but understands the art of using- it.
French fans are the most attractive and
daibty in design. Size is the important
point in the fashion of fans just at pres
ent, since they must be very small, and
if we g-o back to the time of our great
grand mothers and resurrect their tiny
fans, we will have the proper size for
use to-day.
The Empire and Louis Quinze fans
are the popular shapes. The sticks are
of mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoise shell,
ebony, and violet wood, beautifully
enameled and inlaid with gold. Black
mother-of-pearl is a novelty Hi is sea
son, and the ornamentation of gold
shows off with good effect 011 the dark
background. Despite the small size,
these funs display the most perfect
specimens of fine painting in Watteau
figures, birds and flowers, and the very
prettiest mounts are transparent with
various designs in silk introduced at the
COSTLY BUT BEAUTIFUL,
top like the one illustrated. The sticks
are in black pearl, and the mousseline
de soie is black, with black silk at the
edge exquisitely painted with cupids
and figures in Louis XVI. costumes.
Paillettes are over the sticks
and all. Fans of white mousseline
with fine Brussels lace on the edge and
tortoise shell sticks are the daintiest lit
tle trifles imaginable. Medallions of
silk set in point lace and painted with
mythological figures and finished with
mother-of-pearl sticks are the modern
reproduction of the Louis XV. fan, but
in the old days these fans were of parch
ment or fine leather.
Large sums of money can be invested
in this little article of dress, and some
of the later imitations of this old style
cost from SSO to SI,OOO, according to the
fineness of the workmanship. A fan of
green silk painted with violets, with
violet wood sticks stained green, is a
charming little novelty. Much less ex
pensive are the Chinese fans of fine
crepe painted with flowers.—N. Y. Sun.
With a Head of Lettuce.
Chop up a large head of lettuce and
slew it with a lump of butter, a pinch
of sugar, und 30 drops of Tarragon vin
egar. Keep stirring and do not let it
burn. Add a teaspoouful of flour, pep
per and salt, break in an egg, whicli
stir well. Then pour ou some weak
broth, allowing two gills per person.
If you have not the broth water will do.
Lay dice of stale bread in the tureen,
add a gill of areatn to the pot age just
before you pour the boiling soup over
the bread. Serve.
The Latent Shade of Bed.
The new shade of Russian red ap
pears in velvet, cloth and silk and wool
fabrics. It is a beautiful dye, between
that of a Jaque rose and a deep dahlia
color. It is exceedingly becoming to
women, both fair and dark, and one
af the very best shades that the neutral
toned type could possibly select. The
color is so deep that it is not at all con
spicuous.
