TARIFF REFORM IN INDIANA.

The congressional returns from Indiana show that the democrats have made a no table gain right on General Harrison's own stamping ground. In the present congress Indiana has seven republicans and six dem ocrats. In the Fifty-frst congress there will be but three republicans to ten demo crats Every district that was democratic in the election two years ago has remained so, and four of the districts that went re- publican then have been reclaimed to the democracy. In the first district repub lican plurality of 1857 has been converted into democratic plurality of 25. In the eighth district the democrats have changed republican plurality of ,102 into dem ocratic lead of 69. In the eleventh dis trict, where the republicans had plurality of 40S, the democrats come to the front with plurality of 475, and in the twelfth district, according to the figures given by telegraph, a republican plurality of Z, ASA is changed into democratic plurality of 1,111.
 This, too, in state where considerations of local pride and Dudley methods secured small plurality for the republican presi- dential ticket. A specially strenuous effort was made in Indiana to create a free trade panic. General Harrison himself, aided by MT Blaine and several thousand speakers of lesser note, fretted and fumed over the terrible evils that were to come upon the country from any interference with the ex- isting import duties. The voters were told with reiteration that was worthy of bet ter cause, that congress, in which all tariff legislation must originate, should have a republican majority and Indiana should send delegation republican in it's com plexion. A loss of four congressional dis tricts and a corresponding gain to the dem ocrats was the answer of the people And this in spite of the "foaters" divided into blocks of five ! Evidently the spirit of tariff reform is strong in state that shows such things.
 Indiana is for lower tariff-of this General Harrison has most emphatic warn ing.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

There seems to be some reason to believe, according to dispatch in the New York Times, that Connecticut may yet be brought in line with the American system of popular government Colonel John A. Tibbits of New London, it is announced, will aid movement in the legislature this winter in favor of a constitutional amend ment by which state officers shall be chosen by plurality vote.
 It seems strange that there should be any opposition to such a method, yet such is the power of selfishness that the repub- hcans have always stood in the way of the reform. Under the absurd borough sys- tenn of representation in the legislature, by which small and unimportant towns stand on an equality with the large cities of the state, the republicans have been able for many years to control the legislature aud so to foist on the people state officers who have been repudiated at the polls. Under this system Connecticut has had but one republican governor chosen by the people in twelve years-Hobart B. Bigelow of
 
 popular vote of 1880. Charles R. Andrews, Henry B. Harrison and Phineas c. Louns- bury are all products of Q republican legis- lature who were put in the soup by the people, Morgan G. Bulkeley, who ran 800 votes behind Luzon B. Morris two weeks ago, will be auother product of this rotten system whose evils are becoming ap- parent to the most blindly partisan eyes, It would seem that even the most rabid partisan would blush for a party that secured control of the state government year after year by such un-American methods It would seem, too, that the truly democratic system that obtains in thirty-four states of the Union ought to be good enough for Connecticut and that we should be spared this constantly recurring humiliation of being compelled to live under an administration repudiated by the people of the state.
 It is encouraging to learn that Colonel Tibbits has interested himself in pushing this much needed reform. There are few shrewder politicians in Connecticut than ''Electric Jack" and the fact that he is a leading candidate for the gubernatorial nomination in 1890 at the hands of his party ought to give additional weight to his efforts. There is no sense in our present system of state elections. It is undem- ocratic, unjust and contrary to the spirit of American institutions, and any scheme that looks to it's effective reformation will be hailed with pleasure by the majority of people in the state. Colonel Tibbits we take it, will be a popular. man two years hene should he succeed in getting a con stitutional amendment submitted to the people, and his chances of election on the popular vote would justify his nomination by the republican party.
 Colonel Tibbits is on the right track That he may bring more of his party to his way of thinking is the sincere wish o1 all who are blessed with the true American spirit.

 A college of carpentry for women has been started in the old university town of Cam bridge, England. It is intended not so much to teach the trade as to develop manual dex- terity among women.
 Mrs. Phoebe G. Ellis, of Sidney, Me, is 8 smart old lady. She is 91 years old, and is as vigorous as most women of half her age. Last fall she wove forty yards of flannel and table linen, sheeting and rag carpet besides. She has children in Montana, Wisconsin, California, Maine, Michigan and Massachu- setts, and lives in the house in which she was born.
 Miss Laura Clement, of New York, is the owner of a fine English bull dog, which ac- companies her regularly to service at the Little Church Around the Corner. One morning the sexton suggested to her pri- vately that it would be just as well to leave tho brute in the vestry room, as the man who passed ths plate around had put in a bill of expense for torn trowsers and chawed leg. 'sThen," said Miss Clement, ''I will take my dog to some other denomination" And she did.

THE gossips who claim that President Cleveland and his wife are going to Europe after his retirement from office point to the fact that Mrs Cleveland is devoting a great deal of time to perfecting her knowl- edge of French. She spends great many honrs with her teacher, and is often seen with a French novel in her hand. She has long been able to speak and read the Ian guage, but now seems anxious to make her pronunciation perfect and enlarge her ac- quaintance with it's literature

suPgRsrlTloNs ABOUT FRIDAY.

Eggs laid on Friday will, it is said, never decay, and will, if eaten, cure the colic.
 IA Friday treen is a saying used in Eng land to characterize some misfortune or trial
 Journeys were rarely undertaken on Friday during the last century in many European countries
 In 1790 no merchant of London would begin a voyage or undertake any new enter prise on Friday.
 In North Germany, it is said that witches obtain power over the person who goes out unwashed on Friday.
 In Devonshire, it was thought good day to plant crops, and ill other places to com mence weaning children.
 Medieval romances assert that fairies are on Friday turned into hideous animals, re- maining so until Monday.
 Friday Is, according to the Welsh, Irish and Scotch, day consecrated to the fairies, who then can do much mischief.
 A Dutch wife will, if she can, obtain a ring that is made from old nails during mass on Friday, lay it upon the gospels, and say a paternoster.
 It was not proper occasion, either in Eng land or Holland, to engage a new servant, nor would any servant go to service in new place on Friday Portuguese sailors have custom of dress ing their ships in mourning on this day, and of scourging and hanging an effigy of Judas at the yardarm.
 The Talmud tells us that Adam was ere ated, sinned and was chased from paradise on Friday. Mahomet, to prove his prophetic powers, declared the same.
 It has been claimed as lucky day for America-Columbus discovered land on that day, the pilgrims landed on the same day, and Washington was born on Friday. Many persons reverse the rule. and declare that this is to them a lucky day. Dickens said that It was fortunate for his undertak- ings, most of which were successful when begun or ended on Friday. In most European countries, marriages consummated on Friday are sure to be un- happy ones, and are rare; but Germany and Scotland are exceptions, it being there con- sidered a lucky day to wed.

NERVOUS natures will find much to be thankful for in the coffin devised by an in persons who may. happen to be buried alive. It is provided with avalve, by means of which fresh air is admitted in quantity sufficient to support life, and there is an arrangement of wires by. means of which the least movement of the body sets an electric bell ringing. Premature burial will lose much of its terrors if the inven- tion is put to general use.

THE Bourn constitutional amendment
 that has been adopted in Rhode Island
 enfranchises every male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty one who has had his residence and home in the state for two years, and in the town or city in which he may offer to vote six months next preceding the time of voting. It ab- olishes the property qualification for vot- ing for general offices, and when the next general election comes round will probably put the state in the democratic column.

DRAWING ROOM GOSSIP.

Japanese rose jars have taken a new lease of popularity among fashionable people.
 Too many women of fashion do not know where fashion stops and vulgarity begins.
 Anything that has to do directly or indi- rectly with the family tree" is fashionable.
 The over sumptuous drawing rooms of the day are compared to museums by foreigners.
 The rage for fancy tables leads one to be- ieve that many of them were made by idiots.
 It Is to be noted that necklaces are coming into fashion again with considerable of a rush.
 AS many women as men will appear this winter in the universally fashionable cape ulster.
 Receptions to introduce daughters at their own homes are more to be desired than the great ostentatious ball over a restaurant.
 If all fashionable people knew as much about history, geography and spelling as they do about horses and dogs it would be 8 very good thing.
 Brides are running very strongly to point lace veils this season, veils that have been in the family since the flood especially. As a rule, tulle is far more becoming.
 Society fully appreciates the desire of some livery nice" people to have as quiet and private a wedding in the family as possible, and their Encouragement of parade is ap- plauded.

THE auctioneer who knocked down Lord Sackville's goods in Washington would make successful rival of P. T. Barnum. A writing desk was put up, a handsome piece of carved wood, but the bidding on it was very slow. The auc- tioneer did his best to raise the figure to a reasonable sum. Pretty soon he whispered to his assistant, who disappeared. In a moment the rumor, started in some mys- terious way, ran through the crowd that it was upon this desk that Lord Sackville penned his famous letter to Murchison At once large price was offered for the desk, and bid after bid followed in quick succession, until the article was finally sold at an exorbitant figure.

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belvas plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy 8 Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our landl No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.
