A NEW tariff bill -tm 'fre*-trade linee would be worth several thousand ot votes to Gov. McKinley.

UTAH'S annexation to Nevada would abolish a rotten borough and efface Stewart at the same time.

THB way to paaa the repeal' bill ie to turn the hose on the thetorieal" fireworks of the silver Senators.

THE Review not having heard of Hoke Smith's descent from his lofty perch is still defending him in hia original order.

PERHAPS Olney think# the Sugar Trust and the other trusta will dissolve, as the Standard Oil combine has done, if he keeps on letting them alone.

THE Democrats do not need to repeal ths Federal election laws, as there is not the least probability that they will be enforced under the present Administration.

FOB the first half of September the government expenditures ezeeeded the receipts by nearly $1,000,000. Verily, Democracy is a debt making and not a debt paying party.

TIIERE are seventy-one public buildings in the coarse of oonstraction in the United States, not one ot which is in Orawfordsville. Aa this district is •ow represented on the Committee on Appropriations we ought to have a cinch OQ anew 850,000 poetoffioe building. Mr. Brookehire, the eyee ot the country are focused in the direction of your seat.

GREEN SMITH, the Attorney General, is lnlu. He thoroughly believes in skinning black cats to the tail. He is now around sandbagging the U^nship trustees and school boards endeavoring to collect the unexpended balances of the tuition fund, construing the law in such away aa to enable him to realize 12.V per cent. for.the benefit of hie own pocket. If he had sneoeeded with the trustee of Union townehip and the treasnrer of our city Bohool board it would have netted him about 8500. Talk about Shy lock's pound ot fleeh, Shy lock was not in it compared with the sandbagger-from Jennings-county.

THE Committee on Ways and Means is getting more than it ^bargained for in the way ot tariff information* and yet nothing that rises counter to the free trade views of the majority of the committee will have a feather's weight in changing the character of the attempted legislation. The only witnesses thus fur found to support the majority view were some English truck farmers from the Beriundae, who were troubled in their incomes on their onions and pota toes because they -discovered that the McKinley law is framed in the interest of our own farmers. An Austrian with un unpronounceable name, too, thought that American free wool would be a benefit to Austria.

TUB McKlnlsy tariff Is still on. but $1.50 wneat only brings 02 cents! How the high ta iers did lie to tbe farmers. Tliu hlgit tariff in t.st go. Tue producing classes want It to go-

In his memorable free trade message ot 1H37 President Olevaland announced to the world that the prioe of an article wa enhanced by exactly the amount of the tariff plaoed upon it, and that this rule held good with home productions ja9t as it did «ith foreign importation, With this message as the key note, the campaign ot 1888 was planned and fought. That stereotyped phrase,'"tbe tariff is a tax," was upon the tongue ot ot every speaker and headed the editorial column of every free-trade paper.Now under Democratic rule in all the departments ot the government, with wheat selling at 5t cents per bushel, it it is woefully oat ot line with previous statements for any free tiade «paper to ''say that the tariff of 20 per bushel on wheat is the cause of the low prioe.

Only a few years ago it was an endless job to try to get a Democrat to admit that the tariff ever cheapened anything. If the Democracy was right when- it announced that the tariff waa always added to the price, wheat would now be selling for 82 cents per bushel, if the tariff was removed. A year ago the Star taught the producing class that the "tariff is a tax." If it was a tax a year ago, it must be a tax yet, and if it is a tax yet it must addto the price as it did then and if it adds to the prioe why does the paper say Vtbat the tariff must go. The prodacing class want it to go." Can anyone see any foroe in such gymnastics at-this? Bach wiggling is nothing more or lees 'than the last kicks ot a dying dog.

Her Sutyectt with ft Bod of. Kindam.

The Glhee is generally the mother or wife of the eldest male member of the "family. She rises from her bed about an hour and a half before sunrise and looks to the. sweeping and cleaning of the house, particularly the door lintels, the yards and the cowshed. She then collects flower*-from the shrubs apd goes to bathe in the river Bhaglrathee, if the river be not more-than a mile'or so from the house. The sun has not yet appeared in the horizon, but most of the womeniiave left their beds and many join to'go to bathe in the river, talking .-on their way, says Kali Prasanna Jjlukerji, writing to the Theosophical society.

Theyall bathe and perforin their de•votlonal actions called- puja on the bank of the river and return home about eight a. m. The Gtnee then prepares herself ior cooking, in which act she is assisted by the younger women of the family, wfio must have bathed' themselves by this time. Out of inexpensive vegetables, some of which are planted and taken care of by the women themselves in a little bit of grouud near by, the Glnee prepares excellent dishes and the cooking is all complete between eleven and twelve a. m. The children take their meals first, then the men, then the younger women, then the servants and last of all the Ginee herself. As a rule she never enjoys anything that is liked by either the children or the male members, and she has to distribute and superintend the partaking of food by every member of the family, the servants Included. It is very seldom that she condescends to take food cooked by any other woman, even of her own family.

Taking.meals is generally over a little before two p. m. The female members then congregate in a long room, where some lie down for rest, some knit and sew and some are engaged in talking about the incidents mentioned in the Ramayana and the Mahabarats.

At about four p. m. the Glnee goes to her neighbors, for a chat or any trifling business that she might think of, and for the purpose of washing herself. She must return before dusk to see watering and sweeping done to the rooms, the shed and the door lintels, and that the cows are properly looked after. Just at sunset every room Is lighted, and then cooking again begins a little later. In the afternoon some of the male members partake of a little refreshment, consisting generally of fresh fruits and sweetmeats, but this is managed by others.

At about' eight o'clock p. m. the children, havlnjj jmrtaken of their meals, go with the Ginee to lie down in their beds. Here the Ginee begins to tell them stories till they are asleep. These stories are almost all of them common to all the families of the village. A king had two queens one much beloved by him, the other neglected kind Providence favored the latter and the 'former was humbled. A prince, a minister's son, a commander in chief's son and a merchant's son were great friends they started to seethe corners of the world sc.w many wonderful things had many hairbreadth escapes and a'o last all returned home safe and sound. A princess of great beauty lay enchanted in a castle by the Cyclops a prince goes there by chance, kills the monster in some remarkable manner through the advice of the disenchanted princess, falls in love with her and marries her. Such, in substance, are the stories told by the Ginee to her delighted little audience, who are all vary fond of hearing from her. She then takes them over to their mothers aud comes to the cook-room again, The younger women take food, then the men, the servants, and, last of all, the Ginee herself. She goes to bed at about eleven o'clock p. m.

The Glnee is a little talkative, rather hard on the weakness of her neighbors, partial-to the members of her family, and is not much loved by young daugh-ters-in-law of the family) who have often to invent excuses for rising late and going to bed early. The Ginee has a fair knowledge of domestic medicines for small complaints and often irritates the family priest by presuming to correct him when he happens to omit anything in a family religious ceremony. The Glnee is no respecter of persons and often tells disagreeable truths to one's face. She is kind to the servants and beggars and loves to feed Brahmins on particular auspicious days of the year. She generally spoils the young children by always taking tlieir sides and often makes them ill by overfeeding-them.

Thus pass the lives of many middleclass ladies of lower Bengal 'in industry, peace, self-denial and devotion, beloved by all, teaching others to do their household duties.

But perhaps twenty-five years-hence this will be a thing of the past. Selfishness and irreligiousness are making sad inroads in families, and disunion, want of peace and patience are "driving members of the Hindoo family to find happiness and comfort in that will-o'-the-ivisp, western civilization.

I have closely observed other families than those I have tried to give- some idc& of in my .article, other families in which the "reformers" have tried to Introduce foreign rules of life.

When one'thinks-of it, black-flowers are detestable, says the New York Times. Fancy -nature- producing black flower! As well ablaclrsira or black-grass. Yet the incongruities of fashionable mourning sanction without a word these monstrosities, and daisy, a rose or a bunch of violets that Is Ink-hoed, somber and without even t^e semblance of asoul is dutifully and acceptably worn.

BETTER THAN PARIS GREEN.

•AA loicct Which BlHughtcn Potato BUGS to the Point off Extermination. At last a bug has arrived which is a friend of the farmer. This stranger of the insect world is not only friend, but It has begun a war of extermination upon the farmer's most relentless foe, the potato bug. The debut of this little beast has sent a thrill of joy from one end of Berks county, Pa., to the other. No more parls green to sprinkle upon potato tops, no more poisoned meal to feed the pest:, and no more crops devoured in midsummer by the hungry hordes of potato bugs John Rothermel, of Hyde Park, first encountered this noble little ally of the agriculturist and tells a Philadelphia Record man that when he first saw the insect it was slaughtering potato bugs at the rate of ten a minute. The genial hotel proprietor and farmer had a paris green kettle in his hand at the time. He stopped sprinkling and gazed. Before him was a bug of a species never seen by the Berk people before. It was twice as large as a potato bug, of longer and slighter build, and had red wings. This bug would pounce upon a clumsy potato eater, 6tlng it in the neck, and produce corpse almost Instantly. Then

Kothermel looked about and saw other creatures of the same kind, and all ware killing potato bugs. So fierce and untiring were they in their onslaught that not a living'potato bug was left in their path. They piled the ground with little winrows of their olalh victims. They went down rows of potato vines and from one row to another with a force that was irresistible to the potato bug. The latter -were swept to death before their strange foe as Napoleon's columns cleiaired the field of Austerlitz. Since Mr. Rothermel made this important discovery other farmers have seen the new bugs in their'fields. They are absolute exterminators of potato bugs and, best of all, they do not eat the crop. Farmers not yet visited by these new allies will colonize them in their potato patches. It is expected that this bug will have the effect of producing a big yield of potatoes.

gheridan once succeeded admirably in entrapping a noisy member who was in the habit of Interrupting-every speaker with cries of "Hear, heart' He took an opportunity to allude to a well-known political character of the time, who wished to play the rogue, but only had sense enough to play the fool. "Where shall we find-a more foolish knave, or more knavish fool than this?" "Hear, hear!" wa6 instantly bellowed from the accustomed bench. The wicked wit bowed, thanked the gentleman for his ready reply to the question, and sat down amid the convulsions of laughter of aU but the unfortunate subject. WE print sale bills on short notioe.
