THE HOUSE AND THE DEMOCRACY

THE MEMPHH APPEAL has also proved by cleo
ton statistics" that Cleyclands nrin message had
nothing 20 do with defeating him Tor the prcsl'
dency. What sort OF statistics can THR ArPgAL
produce 10 show why the Democrats lost Congressg
-Brmthghdm Ige Herald
Well, to begin with we held our own in
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, New York,
where Cleveland was sold out Missis-
sipp, South Carolina, Texas. But we lost
9 members in Connecticut and in Iowa,
| in Louisiana, in Maryland, 2 in Massa-
chusetts, 3 in Michigan, 3 in Minnesota,
2 in Missouri. in Nebraska, in New
Hampshire, 9 in North Carolina Zone OF
them independently, ! in Ohio, in Penn
sylvania, in Tennessee and one in West
Virginia. But we gained in Illinois, 8
in Indiana (wherc Cleveland was defeated
by a sell ouD, Kentucky /, New Jersey |
and in Virginia. The Republicans wiped
out Democratic majority Of II and gained a
majority OF !, makinga clean gain OF lsv votes.
Looking over these figures carefully we
find that the Democratic vote Of New
York -tho greatest manufacturing State in
the Union-was not disturbed by the
tari1-piorm platform or Cleyelands
superb and now historic message; that
we gained In Illinois, Indiana aud New
Jersey, which are manufacturing States,
and We only lost one each in New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
which are notable manufacturing States,
our most serious losses under this head
being in Connecticut, Massachusetts, aud
Michigan, States in which, as well rs in
Iowa, the Republicans made the most cx.
traordinary cxcriions aud greatly In
creased their general vote. And the
same is 10 be said Of Pennsylvania,
all Of them except Connecticut being Re.
publican States in which the patronage
and organization were against U.S. the
Democrats being in some OF them very
slow and Ia Others almost Indifferent
Then II will be seen tina, many Of the lost
districts were close. That the position Of
the party ON the tariff question had any
thing to do with our losses cannot DO true,
a. in that case We should have lost In New
York and not gained in Illinois, Indiana,
New jersey and Virginia, In which latter
State there Is a stronger protection wing Of
the Democratic party than In any Of the
Southern States.

Foreign bondboidere Negotiating for
the Kansas City g. Pacific.
KANSAS CRY, No., June 25.-Some
days ago II was announced or rather in
definite authority that the Dutch bond
holders OF the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
had negotiated for the purchase OF the
Kansas City & Pacific Railroad. Tonight,
in an interview, Receiver George A. Eddy,
OF the former road, confirmed the state
meni, although he refused TO divulge the
price agreed upon or any OF the other de-
tails OF the purchase.
The Kansas City & Pacific Railroad ex-
tends from Parsons, Kas, TO Paola, Kas,
the original intention being 10 build the
road into Kansas City, iony-three miles
from its present terminus, for which IL now
holds the right Of way. The Missouri,
Kansas < Texas will carry out this inten-
ton and build the connecting link imme.
diately. The addition OF the Kansas City
q Pacific TO the Missouri, Kansas x Texns
will give the latter road an air line route
IRON this city 10 Galveston, Tex, and also
terminal facilities here which IL has been
after for some time. The 81. Louis and.
san Francisco have also been seeking ter
minal facilities here, and both II and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas .atcnd 10 pur-
chase the Kansas City & Southern, known
rs the Blair Road. Tho failure OF the Mis-.
souri,, Kansas & Texas 10 make the latter
purchase, and its purchase Of the Kansas
City & Pacific leads TO the belief that the
Frisco is about 10 buy the Kansas City &
Southern

SEVEN BODIES RECOVERED.
The Work ofputting Johnstown in shape
Progressing Rapidly.

JonSsTowN. Pa, June 95.-Seven bodies
were recovered today. The work of blast
ing continued necessarily all day, but on
account OF heavy rain work in the rub
bish was suspended.
Col. Hill, Col. spangler and Gen. Has
tings today attended a meeting OF the
Johnstown Citizens Committee for the
purpose OF consulting with the citizens in
regard to the closing up OF the work in the
region. Gen. Hastings stated that the
State work had so far progressed that he
estimated the cleaning up OF the debris,
etc, in the Conemaugh above the stone
bridge would DO completed by the end OF
the week, and that the work OF cleaning
up the streets aud thoroughiares in Johns
town and neighboring boroughs with the
present force would probably be completed
within the next ten days The work OF
cleaning out cellars under such houses rs
had been condemned by the Board OF
Health rs a sanitary precaution would also
be completed within the same period. and
that at the end OF that time there would
remain OF necessity n very considerable
amount OF work TO be done, but II would
DO mostly on private property, considered
rs State work proper. He s.Ited further
that the commissary department is at pres
ent supplying provisions to about 5000
people, there being twenty large supply
depots aud eleven distributing commits

WORRIES REMARKABLE CAREER.
How the Great Dreesmaker Rose From
a Clerkship in Draper's shop.


How the Great Dreesmaker Rose From
q Clerkship in Diapers Shop.
From the New York sun.
Charles Frederic Worth was born in
Lincolnshire, England, and went to Lon
don when boy. He had previously writ
ten to friends living in the capital asking
assistance in securing position in a drap-
ers shop, or what Americans call dry
goods store. His friend proved true, and
after some difficulty procured for young
Worth situation in the house OF Swan x
Edgar. The lad evidently was favorite
at the start, and for more than six years
continued to grow in the firms favor.
Speaking to the writer the other day
Worth said, concerning his relations with
the firm
"The heads OF the establishment always
treated me as il were near relative,
and on one occasion, when was seriously
i'll, Mrs. Edgar took excellent care Of me.
Indeed, II il hadn't been for her l doubt
il / should be alive today"
One naturally asks, how did Worth
come TO be a dressmaker2 Those familiar
with his past say that he first conceived
the idea OF becoming a designer OF fash
ions while talking with buyers for the
firm.
Moreover, he frequently made sugges-
tons which the heads Of departments
were not slow TO see in favorable light.
The more he talked with the buyers the
more he resolved to go TO Paris and soon
began the study Of French. At length,
unable 10 secure a positive engagement, he
proceeded 10 the gay capital, and almost
at once got position with Gagelin & Co.
think Worth was now about twenty-five
years old. In few years he was at the
head OF department, and strove 10 in
troduce several new departures. Failing
to see his suggestions utilized, ne estab-
lished the firm OF Worth & Bobergh. In
1870 he founded the now famous house of
Worth.
Meanwhile the enierprising Englisliman
had found favor at the imperial court,
Eugena herself being an ardent admirer
OF his skill OF the many elegant dresses
made for the Empress the following may
be mentioned: fancy costume designed
from a portrait OF the famous Marie de
Medicis, which the Emperor said looked
too iunereal, and which Worth replaced
by reproduction OF Marie Antoinette's
costume as seen in famous portrait; a
June costume, also dress designed from
u portat Of wife Of doge Of Venice, a
dress in black, tullc and marabout feath-
ers, representing Night; a Diana costume.
in which she wore silver culver and
numerous diamonds; a gray walking cos
tune. trimmed with velvet ribbons, the
skirt and pocket matching, and a mourn
ing dress In MORE antique. All these
added TO the already established reputa-
ton OF Worth.
In personal appearance Worth isa strik-
ing individual, and socially a charming
man, although inclined to be reticcnt, ex'
cent on business or among personal friends.
Among the latter are many Americans.

negro citizens. Our age is in advance
OF other ages because OF the diffusion Of
knowledge which has raised the standard
Of morality, both public and private. The
difference between the 18th and the 10Th
centuries in points Of morality and Of
moral agencies is startling TO all students
of human advancement and II is a fact
that the more schools and churches have
multiplied and the more humane we have
become the more morality has increased
and immortality decreased. Lenient laws
have greatly helped to this good result,
and he is the most successful judge who
lives up to the spirit, not the letter OF the
law,

From The Choctdw Plahdoaler we learn
that Frank Burkltt, Of The Chickdsdp Mes
scnger, is the nominee oi the Democrats Of
Chickasaw County for Governor OF Misss-
sippi, and is Endorsed by The Otolonq
Democrat. Capt. Burkitt would make an
excellent Chief Magistrate, and would in
many respects prove true reformer, but
he is, we fear, too late. The people every

eight to two in his favor. Stones record

suggested as suitable places for the con-
test. The first place visited was Rich's
Mill, near Richburg, thence to Honey
Island. Mr. Stevenson was very much
pleased with the island and the indica-
tons are that the fight will take place
in that vicinity. The island is formed by
East and West Pearl Rivers and is but
twenty-four miles from New Orleans on
the Northeastern Railroad. From Honey
Island the excursion party went to Abita
Springs, where they dined, returning to
New Orleans at o'clock p. IN. The New
York party were rendered reception to-
night by the Southern Athletic Club.
The New York party will make several ex-
cursions out OF this city during the next
three days, at the end OF which time they
will give notice OF the place selected for
the fight.
