are, to all intents and purposes, as much on trial for 1890 and 1892 as the republi- cans are. Whatever may be the senti- ments of the country as to the line of policy to be taken on the chief question at issue-the reform of the tariff-the confidence in the democracy as to its general conduct must be retained and strengthened in every possible way, and everything that would impair it or pre- vent its growth must be repressed.
 As to the position the democracy will maintain on the tariff there are no doubts. It has been dictated to them by the remarkable progress in public opin- ion in their favor. No party within a year after defeat in the national cleo tions has ever before seen its cardinal doctrines advance so steadily and rapidly or win so many adherents, not only among those previously indifferent, but among those previously in open and active hostility.

FEMININE APTITUDE.
A Young Woman in West Virginia Whd
 Runs 8 Saw-Mill.

Runs 8 Saw-Miu. Miss Eliza Jane Easter, a very esti- nal le young lady and daughter of Michael Easter, justice of the peace for Scott district, owns a saw and grist- mill on Camp creek, says the Boone County CW. Val Record, which sh operates in person, conducting the busi ness and running the machinery in 3 manner which would put to shame many ''dusty miller" of the sterner sex.
 While she did not engage in the busi- ness of saving logs and grinding corn as matter of choice, but rather was brought into it by force of circum- stances, the young woman has taken a great interest in her work and has shown remarkable business capacity and physical endurance.
 Formerly engaged in teaching school, Miss Easter had managed to save a con- siderable amount of money, which she was induced to loan for investment in the milling business, and, eventually, in order to recover the amount she had ad- vanced, was compelled to assume the proprietorship of the mill. Entering upon the responsibility of the manage | ment, she soon found that without tho
 
 party but little work was accomplished. l Constant repairs were necessary about the machinery and engine. The crown l sheet was burned and there was too | much monkey business among the | hands. She had employed an engineer, | sawyer and miller, but, to use her own language as expressed to a Record reporter, ''when the boiler would have steam enough to run the saw it would be found necessary to laca a belt, and by the time that job was done steam had run down, and thus hours would be con sumed without saving line"
 | So Miss Easter determined to ente the mill herself and take personal charge, which she did about two years ago, and has ever since run the engine saw and buhrs with her own hands iI an admirable and profitable manner. She has become an expert mechanic, and the products of her mill enjoy @ reputation equal to that of the best
