POLITICAL MISREPRESENTATION ANS
wERED. FACTS STATED AS THE RE-
CORDS SHOW THEM.

Numerous circulars are being dis
trlbuted by political managers, en-
eavoring to explain away and apollo
gize for the vote of certain Senators
against the Farmers Grange Tax bill,
No 10, which was defeated in the
last session of the State Senate. These
managers also, at the same time, en-
deayor to read me lecture that was
oversSeppiug the bounds of propriety
as Master Of the State Grange, by
dragging partisan politics into the
Order.
Were this only question of party
supremacy as to which political party
should carry the ELECTION, it would
scarcely be deserving of passing
thought, but graver responsibilities are
involved.
For ten years the farmers, through
their Grange organization in Pennsyl-
vania, have been investigating the
causes of oppressive taxation on farm
lands, and have discovered the gross
est kind of inequalities in the provis.
ions of the law and the methods of as
sessing and collecting taxes.
They have shown by facts taken
from official reports of the Secretary of
Internal Affairs that the aggregate
value of real estate, as returned by
official reports, amounts TO 81 800, $685.
1854, and pay an average tax of 1873
mills, or over $33,000,000, while they
show from the same report and that of
the Auditor General; that corporate
property is valued at $1,000, 900, 900,
to which must be added personal prop
erty amounting to not less than $780,
100000, making the grand total esti-
mated value of corporate and personal
property $4,000, 100000 that really
pays only an average tax of 2 mills.
Then there are collected for State
purposes from mercantile pursuits, col
lateral inheritance, fees, escheats, Ii
censes, etc, $3,479,000, making in
round numbers $7,000,0o0 collected
from over $4,000, 900, 900 personal and
corporate property as compared with
$33, 100000 collected from S1,800,
100000 real estate.
7 This is the real situation of the rea
estate owners and renters (as they
must pay the tax on real estate), as
, compared with holders of corporat'
and personal property. The Commit
tee of the State Grange commenced

Several weeks ago grave charges
were made against George w. Della
mater by ex-senator Emery who IN
vited the former to prosecute him Tor
libel. Delamater has taken no steps
to defend his integrity. Last Satur-
day several Philadelphia newspapers
printed articles rejecting on the off
cial honesty of Robert E. Pattison
while governor, and promptly on Mon
day morning he had the editors ar
rested for libel. That is the differ
ence between the two men.

Our remedy and our oountry's safety

AN AND DEMOCRAT BLOOMSBURY, COLUMBIA COUNTY PA

Lewis Emery Jr. was for many
years a bright and shining light in the
republican party. Honors were heaptd
upon him, and he represented his dis
trict ten years at Harrisb'g. If demo-
Gratis had said word against his integ-
rity then it would have been ind gnant
ly resented by the republican organs.
But now NJ Emery is against Della
mater and the republicans have dis.
covered that he is bold, bad m an, and
they are singing mud at him by the
handful. 1t makes quite a difference

Grant Herring, of Bloomsbury, who
was nominated for State Senator of
the XIV Senatorial district, by the
district, conference at Williamsport on
October 4th, was born in Centerville,
Columbia county, on the 10Th day of
May, 1862 and lived in Schuylkill
county from 1864 to 1876. In 1876
he moved to Bloomsburg, prepared for
college at the Bloomsburg State Nor
NAL School, admitted to Lafayette col
lege in September, 1879, graduated
from the same in June 1888. Studied
law, was admitted to the Columbia
county bar February 2nd, 1885, pract-
iced il partnership with the Hon. E. r.
Ikler, now president Judge of the
Twenty-sixth district until he was ell
ected to the bench; since that time he
has been practiciug alone. He was
nominated for Sta.e Senator in Col

1890. Mr.. Herring is a sterling Demo

The elechol of every democrat or
the county ticket is so certain that it is
not necessary to urge democrats to &c

account. But there is another an6
more important reason why every
democrat should vote on Novembe

ship is a warm one. The republican
are leaving no stone unturned to pro
cure the election Of Delamater an
they will turn out to a man. Th
election now depends upon the &C

with the fullness a. the waist held by a
big buckle; or blouse of surah or India
silk with jacket front; or pointed waist
with bretelles, the velvet ribbons and
rosettes which enter into this arrange
ment, not being too overpowering.
NOTES.
Silver gray will be the rage for walk
ing coats.
The newest bodice is one that fastens
down the left side from the shoulder.
A black fan of turkey feathers Is con-
sidered chic with the most delicate even
ing toilet.
Linen travelling dresses are coming
back. They will be trimmed with dark
green or heliotrope velvet collars snd
cuffs
Gauze striped ribbons are extensively
employed in millinery and for tea gowns,
and sometimes for ball gowns.
The mushroom shape continues to be
in favor for hats, and in some the brlm
is laced horizontally with ribbon.
Some attractive novelties in parasols
are made of shot silk, with two or three
tucks and narrow frlll, pinked and set
on rather full.
Hem-stitched India in ivory white is
very much in vogue for young ladies
evening gowns and also for tea gowns
and matinee petticoats.
Skirts are being made with an imita-
ton opening at the side, that is either
buttoned or laced up with thick cord.
A good deal of braid is still used.
Many of the stylish wool gowns have
loose waists of folded silk, belted and
worn with Kendall coats that have open
fronts, cut without darts, and jersey
fitting backs.
Graceful princess dresses of English
gray armure silk with Grecian drapings
of soft gray crepe de chine and garni-
lures of gray silk-oord passementerie are
fayorite gowns with wealthy dowagers.
Some mousquetaire gloves in twelve
button lengths have been brought out,
embroidered and vandyked at the edge.
They are likely to be worn by the million
but not by the leaders of fashion.
The high collar is being adopted. Not
the Medici collar; that has gone. 1t is
the Marie Antoinette now. The latter
stands away from the neck and does not
give that choked appearance to the
wearer that the Medici does.
Round French waists without darts or
side bodies and shirred at the neck and
waist line, front and back are first
choice for summer fabrics and slight
figures. Full lego '-mutton and bishop
sleeves go with these bodices very nicely.
Artificial flowers are not likely TO be
very much worn on dresses. at the
recent drawing rooms only the debutantes
displayed them on their dresses, ex-
cept huge bunch at one end of the
trains of the matrons.
Flowers and fans would seem to be in
timately associated, and pretty novelty
is gauze fan with the ribs outlined to
the top with heath of one tone-helio-
trope, maize, or pink-matching the bow
of ribbons at the handles and the color of
the ribs.

dividuality, and whatever originality
she may exhibit in her costuming there
will be no incongruities in color, make
or fabric, and in effect nothing that is
bizarre. OF late years it has daWned
upon the female mind that dress may be
artistic, and those styles which centuries
ago were adopted blindly are now re-
produced with reason.
The directOire was the beginning of
the artistic epoch in dress, an attempt
to adapt different materials and drapery
to figures. The same this spring, in
its modified forms, is sure to be pleasing
to large women. As in the princess, it
Is capable of long lines and may be very
dressy or very plain.
In strict uniformity to these new ideas
of beauty and princess gowns, little
deviation in one or another direction
adapts the princess to old or young,
stout or slender. Bunchy skirts and tie
backs are seldom seen, and when worn
appear in sharp and unfavorable con-
trast with the elegance of the long,
straight lines.
Most Of the imported dresses show
princess backs, with very long skirt
lines, which give effect of height. Lines
of length add grace to short or stout
people. For dressy occasions the ten
dency Is more and more toward long
flowing lines, obtained by hanging
draperies from shoulder and neck.
Princess gowns have long been admitted
as the fashion per Sc for stout figures
and for matrons, but not until this spring
were they much worn by young women.
Now princess back is rendered youth
full by a round bodice, front shirred in
A. to Nd a 20 hall
with a box-plaited skirt front. From
the left shoulder and arm seam there
comes a drapery, which crosses the
waist to the right hip and falls below in
a sloping point. A handsome embroid-
cry turns the edge OF this draperY foot of
the skirt, collar and cuffs. The drapery
gives a graceful, racy, Greclan effect,
vet the princess back relieves a too
elaborate appearance for house or street.
A tight-fittlng lining only, with the thin,
summer dress material draped over this
in any fanciful way, is more and more
used.
The princess forms are an excellent
foundation upon which to exercise taste
in the disposition Of drapery.
Some have net fronts with long,
fine ends, while others are adorned
with a drapery of lace held at the left
shoulder by a buckle and caught over
the right hip with second buckle, then
falling over the front Of the skirt. Again
the severity is removed and the advan-
tage of long lines retained BY using
striped material for the front end velvet
matching one of the stripes for panels,
and worn with a full girdle,
buckle and medisi collar. An
admirable design for a thin form
has very full waist front, gathered so
as to form two puffs above waist line,
barred across with silk cords. The third
lowest pun hangs over the hips and con-
ceals the lack OF development there.
Very narrow sloping jacket fronts, with
pointed turned back collar and draped

well on hips, over which on right side,
hang loops Of the cord, make this just
the thing for one too 81 lender.
There is no disputing the fact that the
very newest bodies are seamless ones,
but it is equally true that no one but an
artist ought to attempt to make one. OF
course the lining must be bias and
to stretch and adjust each part so as to
present an unwrinkled whole is no easy
matter. The prevailing idea would seem
to be to have dress appear to grow
around one.
Since Felix originated the dress that
serves for different occasions, as street,
morning and evening dress, there is a
tendency to so arrange gowns that we
may appear several times, and yet the
toilet be varied This is convenient at
watering places to those who do not care
for an array of trunks. The thin ma
terial that is used in summer dresses is
made with draperies, which are SO ar
agnred as to be adjustible over different
skirts.
The gored silk skirt is corded up each
seam even in the front and finished round
bottom with a cord. This is not foun-
dation skirt. A skirt of bright red silk,
cut gored in this way, had over it a gown
bottom in a Greek key pattern, also
round the bodice. This pattern was
filled in with black fish net, with gold
stitching. Round the waist was worn q
pliable gold ribbon, striped with lines of
red and blue, tied IN two loops in front
with hanging tasseled ends.
A step away from this artistic
gowning leads to the contemplation of
pretty plaid walking suit with panels,
sleeves and Fedora front of plain ma
terial. The bodice is a simulated jacket
fastening at the neck and cut away in a
graceful slope over the hips and termi-
mating in square position ends. The
sleeves are loose coat slightly punched
at the shoulder The skirt has a long
straight breadth of the plaid slightly
pulled at the hip, where it opens over the
plain, and at the back there is another
breadth of the double width plaid laid at
the waist in wide box plaits. The hat worn
with this costume is a wide-brim med,
coarse straw, rolling edge and slightly
turned up at the sides with green plumes
nodding over the crown, and is tied
with many loops of narrow green velvet
just back of the ear.

houses where there is nothing else to be
bought but children's wardrobes.
Among many mothers the Gretchen
dress is the favorite. It can be made of
any colored chambrey, with bodice and
sleeves of all-over embroidery and sash
of the material tied around the waist.
There are also pretty little low-nscked
dresses of striped bingham, with guimpe
and sleeves of sheer lawn or embroidery.
These gowns can be made dressy by hav-
ing the shoulder straps and sash Of
black velvet. Another pretty fashion is
a full waist pointed back and front with
leg mutton sleeves and graduated
rows of velvet ribbon about the straight
