keep warm, Women are eaten up
with neuralgia, says the doctor. No
wonder. They sit all the morning
by a hot register and then tie the
five or slx-inch strip of bonnet over
their back hair, bit of lace film
over their bangs, put on kid boots,
with silk thread stockings under
meath, and dowdle along the pave
with bitter winds of winter shifting
their temples, their delicate ears,
their Threats and the bases of what
should be their brain. Their out
ragged nerves shrink and culver
under this barbarous exposure.
But no matter; their chests arc
well-covered with fur cloaks and
sacques, but cold feet, the numb
ears, the Redeemed temples, the ex.
posed neck will have their own
story to tell. Then you won't

To Planters.

OOASiSoho SOoSAN SA.
This year has been the most re
markable one on record so far as
weather is concerned. There has
been more cold and more rain and
snow than usual. 1t has set farm
ers back in their preparation for
cropping, Frustrated business and
spoiled the public roads. 1t is a
long lane that never turns. Very
little small grain has been planted,
and very little land broke for the
general crop. If the weather goes
on few weeks more as it has in the
past, farmers will have to lay off
their ground and plant it in the old
Texas fashion without breaking. 1t
will be good plan to have every
thing in readiness to push the plows
when the ground is dry enough. The
planting season will soon be here,
and when the time comes the seed
should go in the ground without de-
lay. The crop should be divided SO
as to give time to get each serial in
due time. Oats first, then corn, mil
let and cotton in regular rotation.
The crop is one of much Importance
and should be larger than usual.
The demand becomes greater every
year for good hay and millet seed.
Cotton is not to be relied on as a
valuable crop when it has to be
grown on rented land and then pick
ed by hired help. Make hay while
the sun shines is a good old adage
that is applicable this year, especially
will it be valuable in the spring.

The outlook for Democratic suc.
cess in the National contest is bright
and hattering enough to cheer the
most Respondent. Not only are the
heretofore Northern Democratic
States now certain for Cleveland,
but as the campaign moves forward
the tide bearing us to victory grows
stronger and stronger. In the great
Northwest too, there dawns the
promise Of political revolution that
will wrest three of the great Repub-
lican States from the grasp of their
former master, aud set them in the
Democratic lines.
California, too, promises to redeem
itselffrOm the domination of the par
ty to which tits indebted for the
Chinese blight that has had its origin
and perpetnation through the sys-
tenn that protects the wealthy. OPP
presses the poor, aud restricts the
importation of the foreign product
of labor only to import the leprous
locnsts of despotic China
West Virginia is all right, and
her mountains are already putting
on the hues that herald the victory
of her staunch Democracy, while in
old kanawha-county-the Cypress
ed and misgoverned-s'the people
who sit in darkness have seen a
great light, and once more, in No
vember. she will rise from the dust
of her hpmiIiation wearing the

LONDON, November 26.-In the Com
mons, tonight, Gourley (Liberal) asked
if any correspondence on the American
fisheries question was to be produced,
or whether it was the intention of gov
eminent TO negotiate for new COM
mission. and whether in the meantime,
owing to the divergence of legal opinion
relative to the meaning of the treaty of
1918. 1t was intended to suspend the en-
forcement of its provisions.
Sir James Ferguson, ParliameL tary
secretary of the foreign Office. curtly
replied: Government will not publish
any papers. nor make any statement, on
the subject at present. A m0dus vivindi
is in operation"
Smith, government leader, replying
to the question, intimated government,
under present circumstances, was un-
able to make any statement regarding
the appointment of minister to Wash
ington.
The House then went into commit
tee of the whole. and the debate on the
land purchase bill Was resumed.
ParDell proposed an amendment to
the effect that money be advanced for
the purchase of more than ons hold
ing, if such holding were rated st no
less than EGO yearly.
Balfour commended the amendment
would interfere with the smooth work
ing of the plan of sale.
David Sheahy, National, member for
South Galway, stopped the debate,
appealing to the chairman on the ques-
ton o: privilege. He stated he was
leaving the House when the attendant
handed him what appeared to be an
ordinary visitors card. Upon going
into the lobby, a constable from Ireland
served him with summons under the
coercion act. He moved to report pro-
gress, in order to give the House an
opportunity to discuss this audacious
breach of privilege.
Balfour Geplored the incident, and
did not know under what authority it
had happened. Under the motion of
Morley, committee was appointed to
inquire into the circumstances of the
incident, consisting of Sir William Har-
court, Mr.. Morley, Sir Charles Russell,
Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Timothy Healy, Home
Secretary Matthews, MIR. Goschen, Mr..
Madden, Sir Edward Glass and Matthew
Ridley. Parnell's amendment was af-
forwards lost by vote of 154 to IL.

INDIANAPOLIS, November 25.-It has
been the quietest day the President
elect has enjoyed since his election, if
not since his nomination. In the fore
noon he attended church, as usual, end
after dinner went for a long walk,
coming down town in the course of his
rambie. There were no visitors at the
house to-day.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 26 - The
p esident-elect passed quiet but busy
day in his library, and had few
callers. The Harrison Home Club, an
organization with a membership of
700, and which did some very effec-
tive work in the Generals in
terest at Chicago and throughout the
campaign, has decided to maintain
a permanent organization. Handsome
headquarters will be opened, where
newspapers and poll .ical literature of
every kind will be kept and out of town
visitors be entertained. Pending the
intervals between the election, the
club will devote its leisure to secure the
enactment of laws looking to the
amendment of present election laws for
the publication of the elections and the
punishment of fraud and bribery. II
is believed this will prove one of the
first political clubs in the United States
incorporated for this purpose.

Eieht-Hour Movement

ST. LOUIS, November ga local pa
per says: although, as far as can be
learned, local trades societies have not
received any intimation from Chicago
of the organic alton of the eight-hous
movement to be carried through at the
American Federation of Labor, which
is to meet in this city December 18th,
there is no doubt that the movement is
well under way. Circulars, explaining
and urging it, have been sent out to all
can socialists are the pushers of the
scheme, and it is their idea to have it
come to focus in 1890, probably the re-
suit of which will be general strike.
