All imported baby caps are of white
or blue lined with lace of the same
shade.
Little pink velvet slippers worn with
white silk socks are fashionable for lit
tie girls of 2. Crimson ties are worn
by boys of the same age.
The newest babies bibs are quilted
with the word baby" and bordered
with Valenciennes lace. Some of them
reach to the waist and fasten behind
by the aid of long white ribbons.
Carriage pillows are now made in
the shape of u butterfly, the back be-
ing broad enough for head rest. The
covering is of satin and silk, and the
wings are frequently embroidered.
They have a quaint effect as they flare
up on either side, and are a protection
against dust and drafts.
Frise velvet of the creamy white
called orange blossoms is chosen for
the fronts of which wedding dresses,
while the basque and train are of un-
cut velvet. The satin damasks and
/ brocades worn last year have lost favor
! for monotone dresses, but will continue
that are made up of many colors.
Quaint little wicker cradles in the
styie of thirty years ago are in fashion.
They are placed on low rockers made
of solid wood, and have curved canopy
tops. Some of them are in designs OF
slippers, canoes and hammecks, and
all of them are run with wide blue
satin ribbons and lined with silk of
the same delicate shade.
Large feather pillows are now used
for carrying very young babies about
They are covered with a spread made
of delicate pink, blue or whie satin
with one corner turned back and en-
broidered in a cluster of daisies, vic
lets, or forget-me-nots. The spread is
broidered with lace, which is some
times run with narrow velvet ribbon

bind the edges with crimson braid, and

To make one at home take one of the
baby's shoes, of any color, color with
bronze or gold waste both inside and
out and place on a what-nOt.
Long tan silk gloves that have been
worn during the summer will make
handsome silk mits for evening wear

and hem the tops neatly. Tie the up
per end about the arm with satin
ribbon.
Serviceable napkin-rings are Gro
cheted out of old gold macreme cord,

The Party i'm Power.

Tossing to protect American labor,

really creates and sustains gigan tic
monopolies to Cypress labor. In
practice it is an organization for
enriching those who control its
machinery. Tho Government in.
stead Of being carried on for the
general welfare of the people, is
the fundamentally for imposing
upon them heavy burdens, and its
administration is a history of dis.
honest methods and official delin-
quencies. Gigantic frauds and

in every department, and the re.

Withdrawn.

Az a recent convention Of the
Republicans of this Senatorial
District, held in Jackson county,
Mr., ], H. o+hel, Of Jackson, was
nominated by acclamation. About
the 4th Of August Deputy United
States Marshal A. @. LiggeIt, the
Greenback organizer in this State,
and who at this time has special
charge of "Fusion" in this Con.
gressional District, made a flying
visit iuto Jackson county and
called on Mr.. Oshel. What his
business with him was we are not
puing to say, for we do not know.
liut on the 9th of August there up
Feared in the Rayenswood Nclcs, q
Republican paper, q card from Mr..
'Cshel, declining to be a candidate
fur State Senator, giving as a req.
son that he had an invalid wife
and could not be away from home.
This is his excuse for withdrawing,
Int his card appearing so close up.
On the heels Of Mr.. Liggetts visit
to him, we are inclined to think it
was all in the interest Of "fusion."
The Republicans are afraid, this
year, to run their candidates upon
the merits Of their own party, and
therefore link their fortunes with
the Greenbackers, and call it "Fu.
SION"
Well, it is none Of our business
whom they run or how they "fuso,"
but it is our right and privilege to
show up the mongrel party and its
monsrel ticket when and as often
as it is necessary to warn the PEG.
pie against the hideousness Of the
thing,
The Republicans will probably
now endorse Pickens, of this coun.
ty, for State Senator, and thus
complete the fusion contract.
The Democrats of the 9th Sena.
tOrial District have presented to
the people an acceptable candi.
date in the person Of Hon. Chas. L.
Brown, Of Jackson, and he comes
from that clasS-farmers. Ho is
largely identified with the farm.
ing interests Of this District, and
comes from family who have al.
ways been engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
Now, II the claim Of tho farmers
that they must be represented in
the Legislature is worth anything
at all, they will support Mr.. Brown
for the Senate, who IS a farmer, in
stead Of supporting and voting fol
the mongrel fusion ticket that rep,
resents no principles whatever.
When the people begin to see
that this Fusion was brought
about by the leaders Of the Green
back and Republican parties, fol
spoils only, they will shrink from
II az they would from viper.
The Democratic Gresnbackerl
can now see what a nice trap hal
been laid for them by the Ropub
licans. Under the circumstances
will they permit themselves to b,
sold aGd bargainod away by few

Of these scandals against the Pres

When this scandal was FIRST pub.
