Ex-Prnident Harrison, In an ad dreas before a graduating" flat of New York College, gave utterance to these commendable sentiments i "It's a sad and dangerous fact that capital and labor are organized to fight each other, that the laboring man Is taught to regard his employer as an antagonist, too often an enemy and that a greedy or vexed and I in patient employer, reatful of what he regards as an unwarranted Inter ference with his buaineM, Is some time tod ready to treat a workman with a grievance as he would treat a Joi tl ng, u nbalanood machl ne t h row it into the scrap ilt. Like the armed pruce now maintained In Europe, Ihla situation ia coally aud dangerous. Every benevolent and thoughtful man is anxious and dis tressed. I auppone Just and pei feci peace will not eeitablihid until the kingdom of the elder brother is set up thoroughout the world and the golden . rule becomes the law ol human life. The right to acquire U more Important to the poor man than to the rich. Many reform are weakened by their excluaiveneH. The invitation is not wide enough. Men are put on the other side, be cause of their surroundings or the color of their ekin, without a chance to make their own choice. "It Is a niotit wholesome and sav ing fact that the working people ol the United States so generally reject the teachings of anarchy. The work man Is a producer. The anarchixt 1 a deatoyer and fellowship is Impossi ble. How shall the poor be helped by the dent ruction of other men's property, or by nfwawiinution, or riots? -When doors are barred and streets are full of tumult and men' heart of fear, Is there any harvest for toil? There is only one good thing about these evil times, und that I goodwill. They give men the op portunity to how a concern for each other. The roll of the larger! brotherhood is being called, and men see with great wonder how great the family is. How many Idle workmen now see it not safe to nxetume the employers' Interest anil theirs are wholly antagonistic, or that one umbrella may not shelter them both? Is not the conclusion too clear to escapo the mot sluggish understand ing that hard tintea for employers cannot be good times for employe? A brisk and regular demand for products of labor at fair prices Is the only sufe support of a wage scale, at it Is ol dividends." The Care af (.lores. As there is a right and many wrong ways to put on gloves, there is also a right way to take them off. They should never be drawn off by the fingertip, unless they are old and very loo-e. Taking them off Ii that way soon stretches the ends ol the lingers so that they can never afterward be made to give a pleasing fit. Instead, take the glove by the wrist and draw it gently back over the hand till the second Joint of the fingers Is reached. It can then be drawn off by the fingertips without damage. When it is thus taken off, the very Iwst way to treat it Is to leave the fingers distended, Just as they came from the hand. When it Is next wanted, it will tit the hand much more easily, and look better, than If it were smoothed and flat tened back Into the form of a new glove. If the hand has a tendency to per spire when gloves are worn, glove powder may be used. Just a pinch should be sprinkled Inside when the gloves are put on, which will as well facilitate that operation. All gloves, when not In use, should be kept In a box of ample size, scented with the wearer's favorite perfume. Gloves that are but slightly soiled may be easily cleaned by the exer cise of a little putience and care. The best way to do this Is to place the glove upon the hand, wet a piece of clean flannel with benzine, and wi the stained part very lightly and carefully. As soon as the flannel shows any discoloration, take a new portion. Do not rub the glove at all or the color may be ruined, but wipe it gently from the tips of the linger toward the wrist. The smell of the cleaning agent will be gone as soon as the glove is dry. ' When a kid glove is broken It can In most rases be mended so as almoM to defy detection in this manner: under the break, on the inside of the a-love. place a piece or strong silk fabric of the proper size, and secure it there by Invisible stitches, then oullt the leather upon it with darn ing stitches, which should be made as nearly Invisible as possible, in this way a very satisfactory reiir can In? made of quite a serious break. If the broken edge of the kid shows a foreign color, a bit of ink may be applied to rentier it less noticeable. Good Housekeeping. Congressman Stevens, of Massa chusetts, one of the democratic mem bers of the ways and means commit, tee, signed the report In favor of the Wilson bill, but his real opinion of It is expressed in the notice he has given that he must reduce wages In bis mills at North Andover. ' POLITICAL REFORMERS. I want to say right here tliut it this movement is to take a "reform" turn, we want none of lt. We have already had one "reform" crusade and It Is quite as much as the county can sfaud. Both bherltf Kelly and Treasurer Malarkey came to the top In "reform" agitation. Neither of them was elected on a republican ticket, and the republican party is not responsible for what they have done. Reform movements always bring to the front men willing to abandon their party temporarily for the sake of getting an office. Thero ore, of course, good and ettrnct men In these movements. That is i lint gives them vitality ami pver. Such men are the pack horses. They do the drudgery and voting and supply the necessary air of resiiectHbility and sincerity, but the men who mount the reform wave ami are swept into ofQce are political nondescripts, and In office are re sponsible to no party for their con duct aud no party wuld willingly be responsible for them. Like the mule, they are without pride of ancestry or hosj of posterity. We want no more reform parties. Give us a straight republican government, or If not that, a straight democratic one. Even a mixture of these would be better than a mongrel of un known parentage. Next June we are to have the most Important election since 1890. I believe the republicans will sweep the whole state, with the exception of a few county tickets, and I give these men who are working the committed of 100 for political purposes fair warn ing that the republicans of Multno mah county will bury beyond hope of resurrection any bogus "reform" ticket that may be put up, even should the democrats, as they did before, supfiort it for the purpose cf defeating the republicans. A great many honest ami earnest men were bamboozled two years ago. They will not le again. The success of the re publican party next year throughout the entire l.'ni'ed States means too much for the welfare of the country, for republicans to l led off by fle pretenses into a movement with dem ocratic olitit'laiis to defeat It. The best thing the committee can ilo U ? pass n resolution that will not Inter fere In Militles. Etcher, in Portland Chronicle. " " THE (JRF.IT tTi. Not until the 3 I day of DecemU'r, 1894, ditl It ever seem lo occur to Grover Cleveland that the Govern ment of the United States was a trip licate one, so for as the division of authority is concerned, or that he, as the executive, could not do precisely as he pleased by virtue of his office. Intoxicated with his second election Cleveland took on all the airs of a dictator and resented at once any in terference with his autocracy, even by Congress. This appears very markedly in the Instructions given to Minister Willis at Honolulu under date of October 18th. He Is told to advise the Exec utive of the Provisional Government of the President's determination ; In structed to make a report should the Queen decline to pursue the course suggested, or the Provisional Govern ment refuse to abide by the Presi dent's decision, and to inform the Queen that the President expects that she will do thus and no. "Upon what meat doth this our Osar feed, that he is grown so great?" By or under what provision of the of the Constitution of the United States does the head of the executive department take on himself all the functions of the United States Gov ernment, and declare, "This Is my will," with more absoluteness than Is often ventured upon by an old-world despot? Recently, however, when the Pro visional Government had flatly refused to abide by the President's decision, on the ground that he had no Jurisdiction to render a decision in a matter which was none of his busi ness, the tone of Grover has changed very materially. In the instructions which were rushed tiff to Minister Willis by the revenue cutter Corwin on the 4 1 It of Deeciiilcr our nprsen- Utive in Hawaii is told to say, "Should the Queen ask wh?ther, if she accedes to the conditions, active steps would Im? taken by the United States to effect her rcMtoration or maintain her authority thereafter, you will say the President cannot use force without the authority of Congresw." It has taken the great I Am a long time to find out what a grammar- school pupil could have told him In a quarter of a second. Never since Cleveland's appearance in public life has he made such a pitiable exhibi tion of his Ignorance, his obstlntcy and his overweening self-conceit as in this Hawaiian affair, and his conduct forms a lamentable and a shameful episode in the political history of the United States.

A Jiowerfnl element of each of the great urti-s U making war on lis bosses In New York City. The re volt among the Democrat has been more extended and pronounced thau It has tcen among the Republicans, yet among the latter also there is a movement jiKain-,t the m.uh!nc There Is more Incentive for an upris ing In the Democracy than there is in the other party, for the Democrats were beaten by largo majorities in the recent State election, ai.d they lay the defeat to the unpopular nomina tions which Senator Hill and Tam many Hall forced on their party. For this reason they have formed a new organization in New York Ciiy which is to tlo battle against Tam many In the conventions of the party and perhaps at the polls for the near future. This new organization is composed of men who have belonged to what has been called the Cleveland element of the party. It is undeniable, however, that the Republican rank and tile In New York ought to be disHatisfhsl with the conduct of the local Imxscs of their party In the metropolis of the State. Some of these magnates, it Is generally believed, have,on occasions, rendered U-ttcr service to Tammany than they did to the party to which they pretend to la-long. It may lie said, of course', that Tammany recip rocated, but when the figures of the elections of the past ten or twelve years are nonsuited it Is hard to see where the Republicans benefited by these ihiils. Tammany has been steadily tightening Its grip on New York City to the exclusion of the oji posing Democratic factions which have apRaied on the scene, and II the popu'ar suspicion be correct which connects some of the Republi can ward and district leaders with Tammany intrigues, Republican re organization should be immediately pushed to accomplishment. That tho Republicans have Ixsn losing ground in Xev York for a dozen years past is a fact which has become painfully apparent to the party In the rest of the country. II is true they carried the Slate in li for President, but as the State has lieen swinging sinvessfully from one party l the other in Presidential eitnvaws for more than a quarter ol a century, the Ri-puhiienns' turn to win coming In IS, the victory in that year loses sonic of its significance. In State elections, however, the Re publicans of New York have not been gaining many laurels In recent years. The Republicans elected the Governor In !"!, but have not done so In any year since. In lb;! they chose the Secretary of StuteJ the most important ofllcial elected that year, but the rest of the ticket was carried by the Democrats. Almost all the Slate ofllccrs chosen since Isfl, except those elected a few weeks ago, have Is-en iH-intx-rats. Between ls0 and 1SH) the Republican carried New York for State officers alsuit as often as the lk mocrats, and there nre well-informed persons in and out of that State who think that this would have been the case all along If the Republican local leaders displayed a reasonable degree of zeal and fidelity in the party's Interest. St. Iouis Globe Democrat. The methods of handling big American railway companies such as the Atchison, calls forth the bitter denunciation of the Ixmdon press, but it would le well for these news paper to nauso a moment and con sider the colossal swindlers that have marked English financiering during the last few years. Our British censors dwwll on the good English money that has Ixeu lost In the shrinkage of value of American rail- ay securities, but this loss doesn't amount to a shilling In the guinea of khat has been sunk In South Afrlc n and Australian mining companies and in building associations. Nothing in this country has ever equaled In fraud the hundreds of African com panies which have been liaittd fjr investors with the names of well- mown niemliersof the nobility and rlstocracy nspre-identand dins-tors. These companies were conceived in fraud, and nine-tenths of them never had a hole in the ground to show fir any work done; yet they were written up as Inmanzas, and they nbsorben millions of the money of hard-working Englishmen. It ill becomes a nation jruilty of such gro swindling as this to cry out agnint sharp practice in American railroad flnaiK-iering.AS. F. Chronicle. An exchange suggest that "it Is not yet, perhaps, tis late to snsrg'-st to the president the propriety of 'un doing the wrong' If that is the phrase done in California w hen the American fl;tg was hoisted at Mon terey by Commodore Stockton, two days before the English shls arrived intent upon the same errand." Somehow or other the president at Washington ncjrlected to order the flag down, and it has been there ever since." TiX!HdV4 LAST HOI RH. "Keep my nam out and then tell the world what I tell you, as far as word cuu tell such things, of that glorious deathbed down on the Sur rey hilM," and then, with glowing emotion, with a voice that rose and fell, nud often grew husky and un steady, he told me of the lat watch by the bedside of the poet. "1 have stotn by tho bediidesol thousands of fellow-creatures," he said, "and have seen very grand and nil en in deathbed scenes; but never, never one like that from which 1 have Jut come home." Sir Andrew, when he grew ani mated, had a strange magnetic Kwei over his hearers I have beard oth ers, students, medical men and pri vate friends of his often olwerve thl and I sat in spellbound silence ar he told me of that glorious day which, in the midst of the autumn storms and rain, dawned over the world as the poet lay on his death bed. One sentence I remember of the description which he then gave me. "Tlio distant hills, shrouded in mists of x-rfect white, could lie seen through the oriel window of th rtsim where Tennyson lay like a piece of breathing marble." He went on to describe the night flooded with moonlight, the erfccl stilliii-M, the dying man's request foi his Shakespeare, and, "after that the dark," and then he rose again, and walked up and down the room. 1 also rose to go. "Sit still!" he thundered, suddenly. "Shall I tell you why Tennyson's death was so cnccful? This Is not to ls put into the paiw-rs today. Probably it would not iuterest them today. But the st-cret Is this. lit lived a quiet, luborious, simple life. It Is a secret w hich few men learn in time to protlt by it. I was hi friend before I was his physician. Meta physics drew us together. Gladstone too, is deeply Interested In that sub ject, and we all three agreed In our taste for a simple life, and a lifeol work. "Half tho disease of the generation is due to Hsiple's Idleness. Idleness, the Is-ginning of all evil. The mother of a mmcred darling of a daughter sends to me. The girl ails, no one knows why.

But no; It must be Sir An drew, the grumpy Scot, and Sir An drew prescrilies lung walks and less rich food, and regular meals and early hours. And presently, when tho young lady has regained her red checks and high spirits, they think I have Krformed a wonderful cure! "Now let me tell you how I my self have managed to live at all. I am ?. Over 80 years ago, when 1 was a young and oWure Scotch practitioner in I)iidon, I applied fot a place on the medical staff of tht London Htspital. The authorities there said: 'Ui, let us give the oor chap a chance. He is consumptive; he won't last long. Let us, In pity, give him the post.' Well, I have outlived nearly every one of them. All my lifo I have been delicate; I have several times Is-en at death's door, but by reason of a simple life and a life of work, I have managed to get very clone to threescore and ten." A monster steer, tstraded through the street of Portland last week, at tracted universal ' attention, and wherever his leader stopped it was the signal for the gathering of a crowd. The animal has Just ls?en purchased from a valley farmer by the Union stockyard company, and Is Is'lieved to he the largest ever raised in this state. He stands six feet in hight, measures ten feet about the girth and sixteen fi-et from the tip ol his nose to the end of his tail, and weighs 3080 jsumds. The big fellow Is four years old. The first two years of his life was spent on an eastern Oregon ranch. During the past two years he has "resided" In the Willa mette valley. V. I. Arrington, the county treasurer of Ihiuglos county, who defaulted awhile ago, has been tried and convicted. He gets three years in states prison and Is fined bVis.4s and 11000 court expenses. The fine Is double the sum of defalcation. Arrington's Isondsmen have a judg ment entered against them for the amount of his shortage and it Is thought that they have property ample to satisfy it. So the county will probably loose nothing in the end. Once more, and even at this good Christian season, it appears that the way of the transgreor Is hard. Harney county's arteeian well is down some 320 feet and Is spouting, but it will be bored deeper In hopes of obtaining a greater flow of water. The contractor was to receive 12.75 per foot for loring 800 feet and every thing furnished him. If plenty of water is found within 4') feet, he will sink another well somewhere in the valley. THE MJVEMBEK REACTIOX. The ofllcial returns of the Novem ber ehvt ion have nil been tabulated and given to the public, and It I ac cordingly easy uowtoget a deilnlle b lea of the dimension of then-publican victory ami the extent of the reaction against the derma rot lc party. Election were held In ten different states, representing sepirsto section of the country, and rethsi Ing the general drift of public opin ion. The vote wu not so large in any state, of course, as it was in Isii-.', but it was large enough, nevertheless, to furnish a distinct and reliable test f the present feeling of the ieople with regard to important political 1 notions and Interests. In all of he states, with the single exception if Nebraska, there was a large and -encral decrease 'of the democratic vote, w hereas in all of the states the republican divreaso wa coniara lively small, and in the case of Ohio there w as a substantial increase. Tho Massachusetts llgures show 10,000 less rcpublli-un vote than were polled last year, and 20,000 lea detn cratic votes. In ew York the republican vote fell off only C4,o00, .is compared w ith a democratic fall ing off of l tl,(SN. There was a lem.M-ratic loss of over 40,0OO In N'ew Jers-y, and a republican lass of lens than loud. In Ohio tho demo crats ciiioe ,'J,u0;i short of equaling their vote of ls:i', while the republi can cast 2S,oot) more votes than they lid in the preceding year. These figures clearly signify the most pronounced reaction against the tmrty in xtver that ha ever been lenown in the year next succeeding t national election. It will be re 'nemls'irsl that two years intervened between national election ami the tmocratic triumph of 1874 and IS10; and In both of those Instance, certain local causes hud considerable force in determining the results. But it is remarkably different in the present case. The people have not waited for the opportunity of the congressional elections in which to express their dissatisfaction with tho idmlnistration and the party which is ress)n.sible for it. They have eag erly seized an earlier chance to enter i verdict ot condemnation. There an be no doubt uUuit tho meaning if their action. It is plaiuly and ln llgnnntly to the effect that they do not like th way in which the affairs f the government ure being cu-" luc-tcd, and do not have any sym pathy wit'i the proposed democratic schemes of legislation upon the tariff tnd other vital questions. They have seen enough nlreudy to convince hem that when the republican arty vas defeated in tho last presidential -lection a monstrous mistake was nade, and they would bo glad to rectify it at once if they could. This sentiment will lie still more emphat ically expressed w hen the new house is elected next year. The reaction la not suM-rliciul and temporary, but fundamental and permanent. It stand for a general loss of confidence in democratic purposes and respect for democratic methods; ami It will lead inevitably to the restoration of republican rule in every department if tho government as soon aa the constitution w ill crmit the change to lie made.
