Making Her Things Last.

Every housekeeper knows how
careful treatment keeps table-linen
and household furniture. Girls do
not always know or remember that
great care OF their own little poses

nicely on very little money. 4 lady
says: "When l was girl there was
one OF my young friends who was dis.

to wander how she managed to make
them last so without their looking
shabby, but ! ceased to do so after
had visited her Mt her own home
The reason why her clothing wore so
long was that she took such good
care OF them. Her dresses were
brushed and folded away carefully,
and the slightest spot on them va !,

Her hat was wrapped in an old pocket
handkerchief, and put away as soon
as done with.

Towards the age of 12 years only, an

using them rs instruments to advance the
principles enunciated. so long rs these
representatives adhere to these teachings
and decline to elevate persons above prin-
eipleS, so long will the organization re-
main united and strong; but when person
al preferences antecede principles then the
institution falls.
With these premises we proceed. Every
Democrat who has been elected to the
Legislature has been chosen rs a Demo
crat, nominated through the party ma
chinery generally, upon the Democratic
motto of principles nOt men, upon the
Democratic basis that the majority shall

National; and no local convention can
practically cind its nominee against State
action, nor al State action bind him in

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
BILL.

DILL
There now seems little doubt that the
two houses Of Congress will agree upon an
Interstate commerce bill. The recent de
cision of the Supreme Court, showing that
interstate traffic cannot be governed b.
State laws, makes the necessity Of some
regulating law more apparent than ever.
The chief features of the CULLOM and
REAGAN's bills viii be combined.
These are the principal features: \
Railroad Commission consisting Of five APP
pointed by the President. not more than
three of whom shall come from the same
political party; the requiring Of equal
rights to all shippers, not charging higher
rates for a shorter distance on the same
road than a longer distance including the
shorter; the prohibition Of special rebates
and rates ant all unjust discrimination;
the prohibition Of pooling arrangements
between competing and parallel lines; and
the publicati on OF all rates and n notice Of
ten days given in every proposed changed
rates.
While this will not prevent discTimiua-
ton entirely, it will, if good Commission,
ers are appointed to enforce ITS provisions,
be n great advance toward securing Justice
to shippers.
