The task of choosing a spring bonnet is

us there much of business in initiating

Business! Why, know of two men
who have made fortune by it and they've
only been in the trade few years. They
can take modern wardrobe and in few
hours make it look as if it was built CEN
fury ago. Some dealers buy up all the old
furniture they can around at auction sales
and fix 1T up little and then sell it at
high price"
There is kind of stain made now"
he continued (which, if used prop

oak that is near enough to deceive

common sense. When they want to imi-

buckshot into the panels, and you could
hardly tell the difference if it is done artis-
tcally. What would take an industrious
family of worms fifty years to accomplish
can now be done in as many seconds by one
man and gun.
The clerk stated that good many men
who have made their money in hurry think
IL is the proper caper to fill their houses

THE CAUSES.

Tuesdays election gave the Demo.
cratic party considerable of shaking
up, especially In quarters where seis.
mic disturbances were least expected,
but there is no reason to doubt that the
same party that now has control of the
House will retain II, with greatly re.
duced, but fair working majority.
The majority may be so small as to
compel unusually close attention to
business, but so much the better for
the party and its legislation.
In looking around for the causes OF
Democratic backscts we nave not 10 60
far. In many cases they were partially
due to the apathy of members OF the
party who thought that they had every.
thing their own way, and to the vigi.
lance of their opponents, who seem, in
several instances, TO have worked out
their salvation on the still.hunt prin.
ciple, so illustriously eXemplihed by
the late Samuel ]. Tildcn. But apathy
was more Of an oyersish than direct
cause.
Tie explanation that disnifeoiion
with the Administration was "A cause of
Democratic defeats cannot hold, for in
some of the districts, notably that of
Mr.. Holman, where the Democratic
candidate had the fun strength that is
supposed to be furnished by support.
ing Federal Office holders, the disturb
ance was very plainly felt.
This leads to the conclusion that to
"free trade" Ohe name which revenue
reform goes by) the Democrats must
lay the principal cause of their re-
verses 1t may be that in certain dis
tricts the Protectionists sent money
that helped to change votes, but the
fact remains that the votes were
changed. 1t will also be noticed that
the laboring men, who are now such
an important factor In politics, voted
and worked against Democratic candi-
dates who were possessed of views
which they have been taught by spe.
cious arguments to believe are detri-
mental to the industries of the working
classes. We are hereby taught that
The country, whether wisely or un.
wisely, Is in no mood for the adoption
of anything that smacks of freetrade
policy.
We may also infer from the result:
of this remarkable contest that what
occurred on Tuesday is but forecast
in miniature Of the great national battle
of 1858. Issues OF which We have to-
day but scattered and loosely organize
examples, will, In the coming tive
years, become mature, robust aud for
midable. 1t becomes the great partie:

THE NoN.yorISc VOTER.

The total registration of New York
this fall was about 235 600 the total
vote cast, 2lS.000. 1t is therefore APP
parent that II, 600 citizens who felt in
terest enough in the approaching elec-
tions to have their names placed on the
registration list, for various reasons
best known TO themselves did not go
TO the polls and vote. 1t is not reason
able to suppose that so large number
were prevented from exercising plain
and important duty by sickness or alb.
seuce from the city. The unpleasant
inference is that in the case of most of
these delinquents there Is really no
valid or admissible excuse.
1t is also fair to suppose, Judging
by what has often happened before
and In many places besides New
York, that q large majority of
the absentees were men of busi-
ness and property owners who had
direct and peculiar interest In the re-
suit of the election. Take the country
over and it will be found as a rule,
that large majority of those who stay
away from the polls, making no effort
either to vote themselves or induce
others TO vote, are Of the substantial,
well-to.do, intelligent classes.
This sort of indifference Is due in
some instances to profound dlstaste
fer politics. There are many good
citizens who never show their faces at a
primsry meeting, simply because there
is son ething offensive to their instincts
or foreign TO their habits in the usual
methods of patty management. For
similar reasons they keep rs far away
as possible from the election precincts,
Politics for politicians, they say but
none of 1t for uS Others content them
selves with the idea that their services
are not needed; that the candidates
whom they would prefer to see elected
are in the hands of friends, and have &
sure thing Of it, anyway Others arC
too busy, or too lazy, or take an en-
tirely too superficial view Of the situs
