senator from Missouri would find the les
son Of the past repeated, and that was,
that whenever the declarations or the
democratic party were departed from,
whenever the declaration made In 1.-The
Democratic platform of 1884 were departed
from. so long that party would remain the
party of minority The time would never
come in the belt of states bordering on the
Potomac, prospecting now as other states
in the union in manufacturing interests,
when they would run pell nell into tree.
He hoped the senat had got through with
the matter, that senators would rise above
party and would care for the great inter-
ests of the country which was depending
upon this legislation to an extent that he
feared that the senator from Missouri did
not entirely realize He said that now
they had come to this item SEN
ators from the Virginias and
from his own state would say
precisely that the Democratic party asked
for a reduction of revenue He asked his
Democratic friends to look at the history
of the past and to see what mlsrepresenta-
ton as TO position the subject had brought
them to. He hoped that the Missouri sem
ator, whom he knew TO be fair man on
all questions of legislation outside of mere
party considerations, would, before the
final vote on the bill was reached, agree to
modify his propositions and stop the over
forcing himself and other senators on his
side to vote against this bill The Demo-
crat who fiinched now from the principles
of the party on this subject of tariff gave
up his flag and could not Justify himself
before the cauntry. Democrats had to
stand by their position in
the last canvass whether they were
willing to do it or not Laughter on Re-
publican side. The senators might laugh
but no Democrat should 90 back upon the
principle that no more taxes should be
collected from the people than were neces-
sary to pay the expenses of government
economically administered.
Mr.. Voorhees, also opposed the amend
ment. The Mills bill had been endorsed
by the Democratic national convention
and the bill continued duty of Is per
cent on bitumlnous coal. He would not
say what he had said in the canvass, and
he had said in solemn terms in St Louis.
Other senators might do as they pleased.
Finally a vote was taken on Mr. Vests
amendment to put bituminous coal on the
free list and it was Gefeated-yeaS II, nays

That Cantankerous Ola Woman

Described in the nursery ballad, who
lived upon nothing but victuals and
drink, and yet would never be quiet,
was undoubtedly troubled with chronic
Indigestion Her victuals. like those of
any other elderly persons whose digestive
powers have become impaired, didn't
agree with her This Was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one of her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her TO
try the great specific for dyspepsia, consti-
patton aud biiousness. This would have
been a measure of self prosection on their
part, for she would soon have been cured
and ceased to disturb them with her clat-
ter. The most obstinate cases of indiges-'
ton, with its attendant heartburn, fiaUu-
leuce, constant uneasiness of the stomach
and of the nerves, are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. Chills and
fever and bilious remttant, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are also relieved by it.

THE DARNlNG NEEDLE.

Once in Every Woman's Hands, 1t Is Now
Used by Old Ladies Only.
1.-The darning needle may almost
be called thing of the past now"
sighed an old lady, as she sat before
genuine log fire in the parlor of very
old-fashioned house in Yonkers, look
ing for holes that she was not particu-
| larly anxious to find in a great pile of
stockings that filed basket beside
her. Beyond myself and half a
dozen others who meet twice week
and o1ll ourselves The O,L Ladies'
DarnlA Society, don't know IF any
one in Nestchester County who uses
the needle, or even knows how to use
it. Darned stockings are looked upon
as relics of barbarism to-day, I be-
lieve. and people object to what they
call patches which, they say, hurt
their feet. Are the feet, then, more
tender than they were sixty years ago
when | was q girl, and knowledge of
darning was an important part of
young lady's educationP don't think
so. But | suppose the clumsy way in
which hole in stocking is mended
now CASUALLY with a plain sewing
needle and hard cotton thread), has
justly earned for it the mama It patch
work. Perhaps the jagged hole and
direct contact between the foot and
the shoe is preferable.
"But this awkward mending must not
be confused with darning. The wool
used in the old-fashioned repairing is
generally much softer than the ma
terial of which the average stocking is
made. AS you see, still darn the
holes in all the family stockings. and
my husband and boys say that the
spots where my needle has been work
ing are the only really comfortable
parts of their hosiery. | don't know
whether this is a very desirable state
skillful darning and careless patching
are different things.
''ln days of old. when no lady con-
sidered darning an undignified occupa-
ton, stockings were manufactured of
very much softer and finer material
tIldu Gu0y bt0 uldu0 Vi now, anu tD0
wool with which hole was darned
was. as nearly as possible of the same
consistency. SO that the wearer, no
matter how sensitive his feet might
be, could not detect the presence of a
foreign body at his heel or under his
sole. A good old wool stocking is far
more comfortable than new one, and
elderly gentlemen my father for ex-
ample-believed that hosiery was
never quite beyond the reach of the
darning needle. | have darned a
stocking SO often that not a shred of
the old material remained. Ghe whole
piece was my own make, and COM
posed entirely CT darning wool.
AT that time. too. new stockings
were very expensive, and that might
have been an additional reason why
people c.ung so persistentlv to their
old ones; but now stockings, though of
very inferior grade are. so cheap
that it is considered hardly worth
while to wash an old pair, and when
ask for a darning needle at Il millinery
store am frequently tod: We don't
keep them. IN. Y. Sun.
