Today has been Harrison's day and i
has also been Cleveland's, too, with i
melancholy difference.
Let it be remembered that the demo
crats did not Tote to admit the four new
states because they really desired to d
so, but because circumstances compelled
them to adopt that course as the onl
hope of maintaining a foothold for thcii
party in any of those communities.
Tub public debt of the United State
increased bv $6,000,000 during tin
month of February. Luckily it was t
short month. This is the first instance
of the kind that has cccurred for about
twenty years and is a pretty severe scalcl
on the abministration that came into
power four years asjo on a whine about
the surplus. Eyidently the surpl it-
would have gone glimmering in a yeai
more of democratic rule.
Tok falling off of immigration to the
United States within the past few months
has baen so marked as to attract con
siderable attention. It would appear
that the south American countries are
holding out extraordinary inducements
to attract a thrifty foreign population
while the United States has been grow
ing positively unfriendly to the immi
grant. Brazil and the Argentine Repub
lie have managed t divert many who
otherwise would have sought our shores.
They furnish not only free passage, but
a guarantee of steady employment to all
emigrants willing to work on reaching
their destination. It is not to be won
dereu at that a strong tide Has set in
toward South America with its great
natural resources still undeveloped. .
THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION.
The free traders during the recent
political campaign counted with certainty
on the "Solid South." From the begin
ing to the end they had no doubt that
the one hundred and fifty-three electoral
votes of the South would be cast for free
trade and Cleveland. And yet all thes
anti-protectionists were advocating
policy which, if successful, would retard
the magnificent progress that the Soutl
is making. They held out to the Sonth
era farmers, as they did to the Northern
mechanics, the bait of cheapness. Cut
down the tariff, they said, to th mini
mum and the result will be that articles
in common use will be obtainable at
very small price.
This argument they put in the mouth
of Grover Cleveland who repeated it
parrot-like in his famous free trade mes
sage. It is true that it has been o f ten
refuted by facts and figures that showed
that protection by encouraging home in
dustries ultimately lowered prices
Protection means an increase in home in
dustries, and an increase in home indus
tries means competition, which is bound
to reduce the price to the consumer.
No part of the country bears stronger
evidence to this beneficent effect ot home
industries than the South itself, which
blindly votes for free trade against its
own interests. A striking illustration of
how Southern farmers have been
benefited by protection is furnished by
the following figures that a Sou thcrn
merchant, William R Moore of Mem
phis, published the other day. In look
ing over an old ledger he found a bill
of goods sold by his firm in I860 to a
customer in Mississippi which he contrast.

Commencing on these figures Mr. Moore
says, "For the above bill of 1860 we then
took in exchange middling cotton at
eight and a half cents per pound. The
price in middling in 1S88 was between
nine and ten cents a pound. Under that
low tariff of I860 all our plaids and
similar thimgs were bought of Northern
mills. Under the present high tariff we
buy every yard of our plaid?,' jeans,
sheetings, drills, and similar goods in the
South and from Southern mills. The
same rates of reduction apply to almost
everything used now by the farmers of
MissigHippi."
This testimony simply amounts to this.
that protection is doing for the Southern
farmer what it has long since done for
farmers in other parts of the country.
In creating a home market it secures a
better price for farm products whilst at
the same time it reduces the coat of the
manufactured articles that the farmer is
obliged to use. The free traders may
for a time succeed in blinding Southern
farmers to the advantages of protection,
bat the latter will sooner or later see the
folly of sacrificing their own interests
through the habit of with a party that
would force upon the country an
anti-American industrial policy. Irish

The Kansas legislature has changed
the name of Davis county in that state to
Geary thus recalling an honor conferred
a good many years ago upon Jeff JDavis,
and applying it to commemorate the ser
vices of the first governor of the territory
of Kansas. A state that gives a larger
republican majority than any other
in the union has a perfect right, of
course, to exercise such discretion in the
matter of county names.

A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
The Mansion Jznmortalized by Washing
ton and Ualleck to lie Torn Down.
I clambered down from the summit of
Washington Ileights, and while study
ing the colonnade of an aged dwelling
was shocked by beholding a garish
poster that announced the sale by ex
ecutrix of the adjacent Lynch estate.
Had a circus bill been flaunted from the
walls of a church there would have
seemed no whit more sacrilege. It was
here in this old landmark namely, the
manor house of the famed Mme. Jumel,
that Fitz Greene Ualleck beheld "At
midnight, in his guarded tent, the Turk
was dreaming of the hour when Greece,
her knee in suppliance bent, 6hould
tremble at hia power." Here it was that
lie composed the immortal poem 'Marco
Bozxaris, and where the poet realized
that "An hour passed on the Turk
awoke; that bright dream was his last;
lie awoke to hear hia sentries shriek,
To arms! they come! the Greek! the
Greek!' "
Not only is this storied old wooden
structure thus immortalized; its history is
likewise wrapped within the pages of the
history of our land. Pity 'tis that Ilar
lem river improvements, which make the
ground thereabouts 6b inestimably valua
ble, bhould be sacrificed to utilitarian de
mands; yet 6ucb it must be, owing to its
magnificence of situation at the termini
of the Sixth avenue "IT road, the Sub
urban Rapid Transit road and the New
York and Northern road, together with
its nl vantages by water, owing to facil
ities acquired by the erection of most
spacious dockage. Within these walls
Mme. Jumel lived an heiress born at
sea between France and the West Indies
in 1 739, and who died in New York July
1G, 1SC3.
At 17 years of age Eliza. that waa her
Christian name eloped with and mar
ried Col. Peter Croix, a British officer,
and in moving to New York city be
came, through her extraordinary beauty
and talents, the friend and favorite of
many distinguished men of the age. At
the death of Col. Croix ehe married
Stephen Jumel, a French win mer
chant, and removing with him to Paris,
bec&ine a leader of fashion under the
patronage of the Marquis de Lafayette.
Although her husband's wealth was
enormous, in a few years Bbe exhausted
by her extravagance a large portion of
his fortune.
He-turning to this country she devoted
herself to its restoration, and with such
eucccs3 that she soon regained more than
had been dissipated. Shortly after these
experiences Jumel died and then it was
she linked her name with that pf Aaron
Burr, one of the most picturesque char
acters in the annals of American etates
inaiiohip. She had been acquainted with
him in her youth. Now 6he sought his
ltgul advice. At the time he was 78
years of age, but in 1830 they were mar
ried. Tli rough Texan speculations Burr lost
a largo sum of Mme. Jumel's money,
which she had placed in his hands a few
days after the wedding, and, as a result,
she filed a complaint against him and
tho separation ensued, although there
was no divorce.
Recently the Jumel estate has been di

A MAN IN THE KITCHEN;
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "BETTY"
AND THE OTHER KIND.
I'otjtto I'velera of tlie Muculloo Gender
Can Sometimes Make TuemnelTes Very
Useful Tlie Genuine "Uetty," Ilowever,
Is a lingular Hull in a China Shop.
Most women heartily despise a
"Betty, by which is usually meant a
man who pokes his nose Into the details
of household affairs, dabbles in the work
of tho kitchen and irritates the house
wife by assuming, regularly or occasion
ally, f unctions which she deems exclu
sive to herself. Tlie dislike of women
for this kind of man is in the main well
grounded. The average man is, unfor
tunately, unable to make himself useful
in household work without making
himself, also, more or less a nuisance.
A question of this kind has, however,
many sides.
THE WOMEN ARE RESPONSIBLE.
Tlie women who are most jealous of
their prerogatives in the kitchen are not
always possessed of the best capacity for
maintaining them; and some of the most
perfect housekeepers the writer has ever
known, easy mistresses of the arts and
systems that make up tho various de
partments of household management
and industy, have been most indulgent
and appreciative of the efforts of hus
band, son or brother to help about the
house, even encouraging original experi
ment along the lines which have brought
into being the scornful epithet above
quoted.
In their households the men were
never spitefully ordered to "Let things
alone, told to "Keep out of my way,"
or requested to "mind their own busi
ness, because, in the first place, the
housewife respected herself too much to
use such expressions or their equivalents,
and because, in the second place, the men
had acquired such familiarity with the
ins and outs of the kitchen that they
were not likely to hinder rather than
help when they bad occasion to turn
their hand to this, that or the other mat
ter of housework. This touches the
secret of the whole matter, and a little
thinking along this line will suggest a
query whether women are not, generally
speaking, to blame for the fact that the
average man is a nuisance in the
kitchen.
A mother carefully taught her sons
many details of work usually considered
the sole province of girls and concerning
which boys generally grow up in utter
ignorance. They washed and wiped
dishes, learned to prepare plain meals,
had practice in sweeping and dusting
and putting to rights, and were taught
to patch and darn neatly and to sew on
buttons. Some of them learned some
thing of tlie "higher branches." When
they went out into the world they had
frequent occasion to bless the mother
for these useful accomplishments; and
when they became heads of households,
they had an intelgent practical knowl
edge of the details of the work oi which
their wives had charge and were able to
make the burden easy in many ways
where another man would have made it
heavier.
THE REALLY GOOD HUSBAND.
No man worthy of the name permits
his wife or any woman in his house to
perform tho heavy drudgery of carryiay
coal and wood, caring for furnaces and
stoves, moving stoves or heavy furri
ture, beating carpets, and SQ on- But
this need not be the limit of a man's use
fulness about the house. There is no
reasonable reason why a man should not
be able to broil a steak, boil or bake po
tatoes, cook an egg, make coffee or tea
and prepare other articles of food should
an emergency arise to make it desirable
(and such emergencies do often arise),
and do it too without turning the
kitchen and dining room topsy turvy in
the operation. Some men can and do
accomplish such work, and even make
biscuits, griddle cakes and the like.
A woman whose husband is in the
habit of "taking hold" when needed in
housework has been heard to say that
she would rather have him to depend on
in case of indisposition or other emer
gency than any girl that could be hired.
He does not interfere when there is no
cause for it. but he saves labor for his
wife and expense for himself, and he
is not at all ashamed of doing it nor
afraid to undertake it. No man need
be; rather, any man should be ashamed
of unwillingness and should regret in
ability to perform . any ordinary house
hold task on occasion.
Some men have or profess a horror of
all housework. It is often grounded in
laziness. They will go to great expense
and trouble rather than turn their hands
to anything in the house, even to making
a fire. The "Bettys" do not come from
that class. Neither are they recruited
from the husbands of common sense,
tact and judgment, who knjjw "how to
do thinks' and know when to do them
and when to refrain. The genuine
"Betty is a genuine meddler, whose
real is without knowledge, whose help
fulness is without discretion, and whose
officiousness and conceit neutralize what
might be useful in his make up. Wom
ankind is excusable for detesting him.
Let her, however, accept these lines as a
plea for withholding the opprobrious
title from men who do not deserve it,
and for an honest recognition of the
right usefulness of a properly taught and
sensible man about the house, and even
in the kitchen. One of the "Men Folks"
