Booth on the Videttes,

Topeka Journal
Chairman Booth, of the Republican
state central committee. thinks that the
expose of the secret anarchist order of
Videttes at Winfield, which is at the
head of the Union Labor organization in
the state, will cause many farmers and
othess who have been deluded into sup
porting the Union Labor ticket to aban-
don it. So far as its objects and aims
are concerned, the organization is very
similar to the secret military organiza-
ton in France before the French revolu-
ton. He does not think that it would
ever be successful in its object, but it
should beexposed nevertheless, that hon
est men may be no longer deceived as to
it's character.

Four more years of Clevelandism and
congress would be called on to provide
for great deficiency instead of TO dis
pose of great surplus and prevent its
accumulation. If the voter thinks the
country can stand it without serious
detriment, let him cast his ballot that
way. But if he has had enough Of this,
of the general business stagnation that
has weighed down the commercial and
industrial interests of the whole country
and would put an end 20 it, his course of
action is too clear to need pointing out.

Cotton has not only free in this coun-
try but has been produced on this spot,
reducing freight expenses to mini
mum. Yet American manufacturers
have Dot been able to make any head
way in capturing the markets of the
world" Last year our imports of manu-
featured cotton goods reached value Of
$50, 100000. While we exported but
S15. 600, 900 worth of cotton goods, Eng
land, although Obliged to import her
raw material from distant counIsi at
considerable expense, was able, by rea-
son of her vastly cheaper labor, TO sell
$500, 900, 900 worth of the same products
in the various foreign markets. Why
does not Mr. Cochran or some Demo-
cratic orator explain this? Why did
Roger Q. Mills, when the query was put
to him, make the contemptuous answer:
500 soak yOur head?'

no attempt to do anything themselves

prevented anything being done by the

The Democrat papers, with all their
bowling over the expose of the "Vi-

ization exists, and that they controlled
the Union Labor convention held at
Wichita. The reason they don't deny it
is because they can't. They can howl at

Good Housekeeping.

Beware of the man of two faces.
Persevere against discouragement.
Take cheerful view of everything.
In all promised pleasures, put self
last.
Trust in God and mind your own
business.
Pray for short memory as to all un-
kindnesses.
Do not talk of your private, personal
or family matters.
Put not your trust in money, but put
your money in trust.
Cultivate forbearance till your heart
yields fine crop of it.
Give your tongue more holiday than
your hands or your eyes.
Examine into your own shortcomings
rather than those of others.
Compare our manifold blessings
with the triAing annoyances of each
day.
Act as if you expected to live
hundred years, but might die to-mor-
row.
Be content to do the things you can,
and fret not because you cannot do
everything.
Do the duty that lies nearest thee /;
thy second duty will already have be-
come clearer.
Never reply in kind to sharp or an
CRY word; it is the second word that
makes the quarrel.
Make the best of what you have,
and do not make yourself miserable
by wishing for what you have not.

Fair-Weather Friends.
"Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone"

"Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone"
Col. j. A. Joyce or Ella Wheeler Wilcoc.
Fair-weather friends! How odd the term;
How strange that such friends eer should be
And yet the fact remains full firm
Apparent quite to you, to me.
When skies above US, bright and blue,
Smile down upon our path below;
While flowers spring each day anew,
And soft, sweet morning breezes blow;
When trouble seems to pass us by,
Light laughter, joy and mirth are ours;
With ne'er weary, heart-born sigh
To mar the pleasure of the hours;
Then the friends around US hover,
And friendships lamp for US burns bright;
Our faults each one fain would cover
As with a mantle fair and white.
But, let the skies begin to frown,
Frown down upon our pathway here,
Our flowers droop, turn sere and brown,
And cold night winds blow loud and drear;
Let trouble meet us wave on wave,
While laughter, joy and mirth take leave;
Let signing make our faces grave,
And let us DER our sorrows grieve;
Then, like flash, fair-weather friends
Are gone, they scarcely know us more,
Dark days their friendship always ends,
Recedes as waves upon the shore.
But such friends, we should bear in mind,
Are cast in an inferior mold;
IT'S best cen friends should be refined,
To separate the dross and gold.

why French Women are Well
Dressed.
London Queen.

LOnQOn XueeHs
Like every other fine art, dress re-
uuires the sacrifice of time and atten-
ton. and these a French woman has
more at her command than an English
woman her life is less complicated,
less hampered with the looking after of
servants, ordering of meals, writing OF
letters, &c. The middle-class Partisan
woman lives in flat waited on by one
or two servants. She seldom dresses
before dejeuner at twelve o'clock, and
devotes the morning hours to going
over her afternoon toilette, seeing that
every button, hook and frill is in its
right place. Very little dress-making
is done at home; ladies' maids are a
luxury unknown in middle-class
French household. Mr.. Ruskin's re-
commentator to women "that can
afford it, to get their dresses made by
a good dressmaker, with utmost attain
able precision and perfection" is in
dorsed by all French women, who be-
lieve it to be the best economy. Their
wardrobe numbers half the amount
of dresses of English women of the
same social standing, but they are
generally made by first-class coutu'
riere. The anomaly is never seen in
French households, as have seen in
many an English one, of girls employed
in adding another to an already large
stock of gowns, while gloves and
stockings in daily use are unmended OF
| undarned.

soda and cream Of tartar used alone,
aud has induced its use as supple
ment TO these articles. A
small quantity of amona in the
dough il effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholet ome than that risen by any
other leavening agent. When it is
acted upon by the heat Of baking,
the leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it uses
itself up, az it were; the ammonia in
entirely ditlused, leaving no trace or
residuum whatever. The light, fluf-
fly, haky appearance, so desirable in
biscuits, etc and so sought after by
professional cooks, is said to be i'm
parted 10 them only by the use of this
agent.
The bakers and baking powder
manufacturers producing the finest
goods have been quick to avail them
selves of this useful discovery, and
the handsomest and pest bread and
cake are now largely risen by the aid
of ammonia combined of course, with
other leavening material.
Ammonia is one of the best known
products of the laboratory. II, as
seems to be justly claimed for it, the
application of its properties to the
purpose of cooking, results in giving
us lighter and more wholesome bread,
biscuit and cake, it will prove boon
to dyspeptic humanity, and will
speedily force itself into general use
in the new field to which science has
assigned it.
