It would add to ta ifrim faa of tae satrgestioa. were we permitted to take it a fan at all. tkat the frieads of McKinlfj, who wial to hare hie same lead the tick, are ahaerfally reKladed by the friend of Mr. Blaine that the latter ia likely to die before the end of the four years' tern, aad ao the hitjh ambitions f two frreat nea can be equally and severally satisfied ia oae election. Hut, a wa have intimated, it is sot perm isaiWe to iaterpret the ideas of Kaasaa re pa hi leans by the light of humor. They are dead in earnest, and when they auggeat HWine and McKialey, reciprocity aad proteetioa, an invalid stAteetnaa. and a lusty politician, as their conception of what will wia in the next election, they mean what they y. every word of it. and mean it with a siacerity not without a touch of pathos. For, to the observer who is as soberminded as the Kansas republican himself, aad who is, moreover, wide-awake to the significance of recent events, this proposition is curiously in accord with the condition both of the party aind and the party prospects. It is really a rude, simple, half-grotesque, aalf-pttifal attempt at a correct Interpretatioa of the situation. These Kansas people know that protection was teeatea. aad badly beaten, ia 5f ewYork, ia Massachusetts, aad in Iowa, and that it appeared to win ia Ohio and ,in Pen nay Irani a. To the rebellious reIMibtioans of the first group of states they offer Blaine and reciprocity; to the faithful of the latter group of states they offer protection and McKinley. And since the great body of the party atill stick to protection, they give to them the assurance that, though they we to be represented only in the secend place on the ticket, their candidate nay fairly hope, ia the course of nature, to succeed the actual candidate for the presidency in the performance of the functions of that office. And this m the juggling with public opinion, the effort to cheat the conscience and intellect of the American people, which really see dm to these men likely to be ancceaeful. It is nothing to them that, ao f ar as this combination would work at ail, it woald be a trick, that Mr. JBlaiaa'a reciprocity is in reality the nsMatial opposite of Mr. McKinley's proteetioa aad vice versa, aad that if these plana were carried out, the ticket elected, and McKinley were to become president by the death in due time of Mr. alaiae, every man who voted for Mr. Maine would be deceived. All that aaey think of. all that they care for, honest aoals and narrow as they are, ia that the republican party shall saeeeed, the dreadful democrats be defeated, aad the saiats inherit the post It is not nnfair to say that this Is ia accord with the condition of mind of the republicans, nor that it fairly represents the means by which their loaders hope to win in the next pre.si.denllal" contest- The Kansas arrangement corresponds very closely to the McKinley bill with the reciprocity atHaAhsaeat, and certainly it is perfectly fvefl known that one aad the other, and each alternately have been "worked for all they were worth," according to the Taryiag latitudes. If it were possible to hold the old-time rematieaaa to the ticket by the McKinley form of protection, aad at the same time hold the dissatisfied by the Blaine device of reciprocity, no scruple of aoaselcaee would prevent Happily, it ia not possible. Tha process of enlightenment has gone too far in the public asm. The old-time republicans will, Indeed, continue to vote tha ticket, aa taey did ia Pennsylvania, whoever is a it, aad whatever he may represent. But the men whom Mr. Blaine hoped to eatek with reciprocity will no longer rise to that bait They know what it really ia aad what it conceals, and they will have none of It This Mr. Blaine himself aees plainly enough. Could ha have hie way to-day he woald not stop avt. the illusory reciprocity of the McKinley bill. He would give the country real reciprocity; that ia to say, he woald, as he has tr ed to do in the ca.se of Canada, give the country freer trade, which is as different from proteetioa as heat from cold. But it is doubtful if even that would now check the tide of dissatisfaction with the whole protection policy aad Idea. The republican leader made their fatal error 1 the last congress. Tliea they had a chance to take the work of the revision aad reduction of the tariff in their own hands, and had they doae ao they would have been left to finish the task. Instead, they make the burdea of the tariff heavier; aad now all signs fail, .he eountry ha mined to be doae, in due time, aad with them. N. Y. Times. , unless s deterwith it Lectalstlaa Km tie.

TIME FOR AN AOOOUNT'NO.

Jaw that Seeretarjr Foster has got tnrottga esmpaigaiag ia Ohio, aad ao loager any motive for eoaorlia? tha faeta about the eoaditioa of the treas ury, we think he ought to let the publie know how serious that eoaditioa is. The record of treasury reeeipta m expenditures for October completes four month of the eurreat fiscal year. and shows the same alarming falling off ia iaeotne that has been noticeable ever since the McKinlex tariff took full effeet. For the last four months the reeeipta from customs have been but S5S.734,45. or W,S4.I3 lean, than for the same period last year. This is at the rate of a reduction ia revenue of 97,MS,7$ a year ia customs alone. While the returns on the of in ternal revenue show a alight iaorease for the first third of the year, there is a failing off ia other items which brings the total receipts of the treasury for the period dowa to fll9.74,9v5, as eom pared with the corresponding Si54.930.S94 in 1898. Here, then, is a total diminution of revenue going on at the rate of $105,561.A87 yearly. Now, it is perfectly futile for Mr. Foster to keep oa saying, in the jaee of this snowing, that the treasury is in an "easy" con dition. It is in the hizlilv uneasv con dition of a man wfth more debts than money. The appropriations call for in outlay of SIW.OOO.OO during the' time wllin t Via raranua line luian K Cl 1Q - " u u sbj yrt j a l wy wv,wv. i nai.meaas aa annual aeaetr of more than f 140. 000. 00. Does the secretary call that "easy?" It ia cer tain that he does not in bis private talks with bankers, whatever he may feel compelled to say on the stump. It is well known that he has been advised by friendly bankers to "Jidld t" aj propriations. That is just what he has been doing, as the figures show on their face. He has been putting off the-evil day aa long as possible; but he will have to tell the truth in his report to congress next month, and then the forlorn hope of his party that the democrats may blunder in financial matters will have at least this basis to go upon, that an unsurpassed model of blundering has Wen set them by the republicans. Y. Post. A riME-HONORED CUSTOM. KepaMleaa Balm for the Wnaads r Brutes Le-eVrs. benevolent work of providing The for the unsuccessful and impoverished republican candidates for oSiee ia the recent election is now being taken up with noble zeal by the politicians of that party. Time-lioaored precedent has made the rule that he who leads a republican column to defeat shall have his hurts plastered with an appointment to federal office. Occasional violations of this unwritten law have only the effect of making it more in flexible in the end, for the unrewarded ones, as in the case of Warner Miller, are prone to seek revenge upon the later candidates of their party, and to secure it ia a fashion well fitted to inspire the party rulers with a firm determination to err in that respect bo more. Therefore it is that no evasive massage full of soft words but destitute of promise of place has come to the late Mr. Fassett, but rather the knowing ones speculate upon the identity of the fat place that shall be his. Muoh probability attaches to the rumor that a senatorship will be opened for him by the appointment of Frank Uiseock to the vacant post of secretary of war a situation peculiarly fitted to the talents of that senatorial Adonis, since for twenty-five years its duties, with inconsiderable exceptions, have been discharged by the chief clerk. If it be urged that Fassett can but poorly represent tae Empire state in the senhte the response is obvious. It is not Kew i ork that he will be chosen to uphold. but rather Tom Piatt's interests and those of tha administration. Chicago Times. POINTS AND OPINIONS. Aad now Gov.

CHILDREN'S SUPCKSTITtOMS.

i Wms Are Winsiilit Tha superstitions of ehildWoed trim, grewaome aad abenrd. I re mem her many -of my own; I do not meaa such superstition as are passed dowa . from their oldera to the children la a family, sueh as it U bed laek to dream of a wedding or to turn a chair the wrong way, or to break a loekiag-glaas or to start any enterprise, on Friday, or that it is good luck to piek up ptns, to see the new moon over the right shoulder or to have a eat eome to the house. Ho; there are superstitions which belong distinctly to the period of childhood,, and which exercise a shaping influence over the actions of those who firmly believe in them. With a view to ascertaining what superstitions are entrant among the children of the present day, I gave over oae hundred children, of varying ages aad at different times, an exercise in oral composition, in which each scholar in the class was ealled upon to give testimony as to what oobwebhad Wen spun across his brain. The tradition concerning the spider, with its accompanying historical fact concerning 'the Jtruee'a inspiration of courage and perseverance from the spider in the hat of hiding, holds a first place in their minds. As for the other superstitions, they were a jumble of signs and wonders, of omens, of talUmcns, of mascots and hoodoos. One boy gravely assured me, and his experience was vociferously corrobo rated by a score or more of other boys. that "to spit on the bait brought good luck ia fishing," and that "if you spit on the chip in 'hop scotch' you'll hardly aver miss." That the darky should be considered a mascot will occasion no surprise to tnote wno know aught about the lore of superstition. But the schoolboys of tms city certainly hare a peculiar war of testifying their partieipatioa in the belief. "If you get a nigger to spit in your hat." said oae boy, in a tone of intense conviction, "it will brine vou eood luck." And whether or not it receives credence, the fact is that before going up to their rooms'oa examination davs. or befor engaging ia games of contest, the white boys present iheir hats to the darkies in the school-yard, and re spectfully request their dusky brethren to use them as cuspidors, for the sake of bringing their wearers good luck! jwys who sell newspapers believe that the first nickel received in payment for a paper must be held in the hollow of a clinched fist and blown up to bring quick salesand pleasing profits. To insure success in playing marbles, they must be blown up, both to keep them from slipping out of the baud or into the pockets of the other fellow. To bring good luck take aa adobe marble-one of clay is meant and attempt to throw it over a house. If it is like vaulting ambition and overleaps itself to fall on the other side, success hi assured. While playing marbles, to protect one's owa stock and to get possession of mere than he earried into the game aa stake, the yoathfal gambler must fortify himself with aaeh matterlags as "Cheea terra," or "Gip," "Geoo" or "Jooo,"the last malediction evidently being a corruption of the word Jonah a modern allusion to aa aneieat affair. to the hoodoo of mariner, -what id Nineveh! Childhood being a prelonsred aeriod of teething, many beliefs rwarriinv those important actors are current. For instance, a tooth pulled out and cast away, and then swallowed by a dog, is sure to be replaced in the mouth of its former owner by a dog tooth! To throw a newly-extracted tooth over the shoulder at onee, find it; repeat the operation a second time, then a third, and not find the tooth after the third throw, means good luck will follow with all the teeth. Too much elation f spirits is followed by a correspond ing fit of the blues so to stag before breakfast is to cry before dinner. To see a load of hay, "go wish on it," and to watch it until it gets oat of sight or turns a corner, insures th fl. fillmeat of the wish. When aa "eyewinker falls out, it should be placed oa tha palm of the head, or oa the back; and blown at three times by a second person, while its owaer makee a wish. If it ia puffed off at the third blow, sure sign that the wish will eome true. Of course the wish-boa superstition holds its away. Another superstition which seemed to he highly popular among the child rea I questioned waa to thia effect: Let a child take a piece of paper and bow to very child he meets, whether acquainted or not it immaterial, and check off each bow until he has counted one hundred on this alip of paper. Then let him bury the paper, making a wish aa he does so, aad if oa returning to the spot a week later heean excavate tha paper hw wish will eome true. Seven hows to the new mooa will also insure the coming true of a wish. Among all children it is considered very bad luck to turn a garment which has been put oa wrong side of it, or to go back after something which has been forgottea. Both of these superatittona may he regarded aa protective measures adopted by childrea to restrict the exactions of too captious parent and guardians. Any account of the superstition of childhood would a far from complete were no mention to be made of the belief that to step oa J Ute cracks or tne sidewalk means fail are in lessons.

SAVING HABIT. fTi U Tli I IfibJ a - aaaaa a-- -- aj sranVsy a er"ea a ea am vavvwva There U au old saying that a wontaa an throw oat with a spoon faater thac a man eaa throw ia with a shovel. Without referenee to the nppareat injustice of the comparison between the two sexes, wa are eompeled to admit, if our male friend was right, that woman are great wasters, and that their effective weapon may not Inaptly be called a spoon. The thriftiness of a family does depend just as mueh upon the economy of the housemother as upoa the industry of the wageearner. So we say despise not small economies, but acquire ami practice habits of small saving. Of course by small economies we don't recommend you to use a dollar's worth of time in order to save fifty cents' worth of ma terial. Clothes may le petehed and mended to that extent that it were act ual saving of money to buy new materials rather than put on ao much new cloth on old garments. But even though there are small economies which really are economies, there is not the least excuse for anyone to condemn th'! small saving habits. No woman ought to allow the slightest particle of good nourishing food to be wasted Such is not only wasteful, but whilst there are so many in need, it it a positive sin, for which an account will have to be rendered. It is just as easy to eeok meat which has been cooked before as it is to cook fresh meat. Every partiele of. ft should be carefully fried out Even bread crumbs saved from each day's cutting of bread, after being dried, rolled and sifted, can reappear' on the table iu other and attractive forms. Stale bread can be saved and prove very useful. Bits of twine. wrapping paper, eta, are always useful if you have a proper plaee to keep them, where they can be easily found. Habits of small saving inculcate a spirit of thrift which goes far toward making young' people into useful members of society. But whatever you do. do not fall into the opposite mistake, and become so thrifty that, as we have known housewives to do. you use eggs, milk and the other materials which would make a valuable custard, ia order to save the breadcrumbs from being wasted. But some will say who read this article: 'There is no need for me, at least, to do any saving. I have more things than I know how to use." So long as there is a poor family ia the world, just so long have you need to save, even if there are no children in your house to whom you must be a guide and an example. Just so long as man can reproach us as house keepers with wasting whilst other want must we look carefully to what we do or do not These are low motives, you say. Of course thev are. judged from some standpoints; but it seems almost useless to appeal to higher ones where household matters are con cerned. It's a mistake, but a fact nevertheless, and in so far as we wish to impress the faet that the habit of small aaviags is a worthy habit, we appeal to those motives which are most potent A Housekeeper, in Christian at Work. A DIFFERENCE IN COLOR. The Treafeta Canned by TrMMferre Order. A traveling man at one of the hotels hsd devoured the big end of a supper, when he called a w;aitcr ami addressed him in this way: "Bring me aa order of wheat eakes well done, not burned, brown, about the color of your countenance." " 'Bout de color o" my what?" "Your face." "Oh, you wants 'em seal brown." "That's it" "They'll be here instantly, boss." The darky hurried away toward the kitchen. In the course of ten minute another waiter set a plate of pale-look-iag cakes before the man. "Do yon call those cakes well done?" "No, sah. I didn't take your order. Another waiter tamed it over to me." "Well, send him here." The man with a seal-brown face appeared. "Dida't I order my eakea aa browa aa your face ?" "Yea, you did, sah; hat tha head waiter made nae give year order to a yellow aiggea; ao he Wrung yon eake the color of his faee. That's ao take o' mine." Kansas City Star. Aa Aataasatte Taaaat.
