In the Ballaftt felnta la hie Letter al Aeeeptaaea, 1 1 rover Cleveland, the DemooraUo nominee fat l'reaideut of tlie Uultetl Klatee, haa formally aeeepted the num. luatloii. The following are abort ex tract giving the pith of the letter I "Continued re fleet in u aud observa tion have oonrifuied me lu my adher ence to the opinion whioh I have here tofore plaluly and publicly declared." Tarllf "taxea, repreaeutliig a diminution of the property rlghta of the people, are only juellliable wheu laid and collected for the purpose of maintaining our goveruuieut,aud to fur- ulah the meaua for the aeooiupliahiueut of ita legltllualepurpiaieaand funcUou Thl la taxation under operation of a tariff for revenue." Protective "tariff la ao clearly con trary to the iplrlt of our oouatltution aud ao directly encourage dleturbauoe by eelflhuv aud greed of patriotic eiitlmcnt that It atatemeiit would rudely ahiK'k our people, If they bad uol already been Inaldloualy allured frtaii the aafe landmark of principle. The truth I that aueb a protective tarllt'aj yteiii I directly antagoiilied by every eentlmcut uf Juatlee aud falrueaa of which American are pre-ewlueotly proud." "We believe that the ad vantages of free raw materiab ahould tie aeeonltil to our manufacturer." In regard to the purification of the ballot he ay I "Huch an attempt cannot fall to be regarded by the thoughtful man aa a a prtaif of a bold determination toae curv the aacendeucy of a dlacredlted party In reck lea diiuregard of a free cx pnwMlimof the ipuiar will." On the money question heaaya: "Every dollar put Into the baud of the people hould be of the twine lutrlualc, value or purchasing power, In dealing with thl ubtH't no doubtful exari meut ahould be attempted." "Ita appli cation civil service reform tend to ruiae the Uudard of ptdltical activity fnuu aKilla buullug aud unlliluklng party antllallou to the atlvocacy of parly principle by reaaou aud argu ment." The enforced educa tion, wisely deemed a proper prepara tion for citlxc indilp, hould uot Involve the Impair lent of wludeaonie parental authority, uor do violence to houaebold oonacleiiiM'e." In regard to restriction of Immigration he lay s "Thla hospitable sentiment la not violated, however, by careful and reaa ouable regulation for the protection of the public health, nor dove It Justify the restriction of Immigrant who have ao appreciation of our liuttitutloua, and whose presence among ua ia not a men si to peace aud good order," "The Importance of the cou atructlou of the Nicaragua ahlp canal should commend the projtait to govern mental approval aud Indorsement" t "National pride aud honor are Involved lu the success of the Col. iituliian fxiwmlilon. and that thev!f the people will not be Inclined to condone any neglect of ell'ort on the part of their Government to Insure a 111 ling exhlbliof Amerlcau growth and urealueaa."

"You will ouly Kpoll her, or make her demand an iiicreaae in wages." "Not much," the Major replied em phatically. "I had a little experience in that matter which taught me a les son. It was before we were married, my dear, and before 1 resigned. Our ri'iriinent was with Ueneral tlowani chiming the Nx Puree Indians across the mountain in Montana and Idaho. One of our nontenant had been stationed at the Preaidto in Ban Francisco, and the n i eh made arrangements with him to bring a Chinene cook. My, how that cook could cookl The beggar brought along in some mysterious manner the moat unexpected things, I remember one day we'd had a venison roast the day before that adorable Celestial gave us a venison "tew with pickled walnuts! All the officers in the mens appreciated this, but, bless mel how they jumped on me when I said to the cooks 'Plenty good stew, Clmng, plenty good.' All wild I was a fool." "Majorl How oould theyP' aaid Mrs, Max. "Oh, that's only inensrooui talk. Every body calls everybody a fool at a mes dinner. Wull, as I was saying, all the boys said Clmng would strike for higher wages, get Impudent or haughty, and leave if we praised him. So they laid out a scheme. Whenever he brought in a particularly good dish we were to turn up our nose and make mean re marks. That would keep Chung in a proper and lowly Bpirit, and generally promote harmony and discipline. The next day he gave us some mountain onivil roasted in envelopes or bacon, ana really, my dear, 1 wish your cook oould roast a quail like that. The boys all said 'nghl' or 'pislil' or 'tush! and the luat one threatened to throw the dish away. Chung regarded that with calm exterior, but after dinner he appeared, swaddled in every one ef his jackets, and bade us (rood by. We were nearly frightened to death and asked what ailed him. "'You no like my cooking, me no cook, that heathen answered. "We assured him we would try to stand it, and he grinned and said we conld stand it for just ten 'dolla' more per lunar month. Of course we felt silly, but there wan nothing to do but pay it to him. That made seventy dollars a month. They were the biggest lot of fool officers I ever saw, for they insisted on their scheme. One day Chung brought in a tenderloin of mule" "Mule, major?" "Yes, we were down in the bad landa then, hundred of miles from any settle- Five Cents Per Copy. The Argument Used iTT Y the makers mm the dealer much more profit. But you, madam, are charged the same price for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which is perfectly combined from the most highly refined and expensive materials. The lower cost of the others is caused by the cheap, impure materials used in them, and the haphazard way in which they are thrown together. Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal for an inferior baking powder, made from im pure goods, of 27 per cent less strength? If you buy the other powders, insist upon having a corresponding reduction in price. f meut, and mule was pretty good. Tun never happened to eat a young ninle, I suppose? Of con roe not. Well, he bad seasoned that mole with a kind of little pepper ha had fonnd, and it was hn menae. Then those fool boy went through the same Idiotic performance. The last one the dish waa passed to turned his nose np to his eyebrow and said.'Oh.helir "Major!" "I waa not the man, my dear, Chung had watched the proceedings to the end silently, but when the remark 1 have quoted waa made Chung turned on hit beel and he, too, said" "Majori" "No, not 'Major,' but th word yen object ta After dinner he appeared again all dressed up In Ills Hunday clothe and bade n goodby. W re- moustrated, but it did not work, We threatened, and he pretended not to un derstand. Finally we asked him how much. " "One hundred dolla month,' answered Chang, with never a ghost of a smile. "W paid it. Bince then Tve believed a little praise to the cook judiciously administered approaches U In domestic economy. "I'm sure, Mrs. Max remarked, after a thoughtful ooservation of her Bnb-er nails, which are very pretty, "I'm sure I don't see why you didn't advertise for another cook." New York Bun. A True Friend.
