A TEST of cANDoR.

Our friends the Democratic enemy are
of the federal elections bill. They protest
that this is not because they fear losses in
the South as a result of fairly conducted
elections, but that any such losses must re-
suit from unfairness and fraud because
those elections will be under Republican
control.
This position is taken in spite of the fact
that these elections are to be held under
the control, primarily, of the Justices of
the Circuit Courts. men who have been
selected because of their eminence as law
yers and citizens, who hold their Offices for
life, without regard to changes in political
administration, and who, therefore, are
above partisan influences if there be any
citizens of this country thus situated. But
the Democrats think, or affect to think,
that these Circait Judges will in all cases
appoint Republicans to supervise the cleo
tons, and that these selections will be
made from partisans of the baser sort, and
that the object of the law is to control cleo
tons corruPtly through these eminent
members of the Judiciary.
In reply to this grossly unjust assump-
ton it might be sufficient to state that
Walter @. Gresham, whom all men of all
parties respect as a man of unimpeachable
and unassailable integrity, incapable of
mean or corrupt act, is Judge of one of the
nine circuits, in which there could be no
systematic or general corruption or unfair
ness without his coRnivance.
But it happens that there is better test
of Democratic sincerity on this point
They have evidently forgotten that one of
the most important and warmly contested
districts in the country is presided over by
a Democratic Judge, and "kebel Briga-
der" at that. Howell E. jackson, of Ten
nessee who fought all through the war in
the Confederate army, was appointed by
President Cleveland and now holds as
Judge of tue Sixth Circuit, which embraces
the states of Ohio. Michigan, Kentucky
and Tennessee. Is it the opinion of the
Democrats that Judge Jackson will plosti-
tute his high office and appoint Democrats
of the baser sort, with an eye to their car
rying congressional elections throughout
those states by corrupt means?
Any fair-minded Democrat would resent
such en- imputation against the high char
acter and integrity of Judge jackson. No
Republican has made or will make any
such imputation. All respectable Repub-
licans would scorn such an imputation.
VIII tha na,oorrsts who vor,id 1aga,a
Judge Jackson from such an imputaiion,
contend that he is any better entitled to
respect and confidence than are the Repub-
lican Circuit Jndges9 II so they can hardly
expect that while they maintain position
so one-sided and unfair their objections
can exert much influence against the pas
sage of the bill by congress in both
branches of which the Republicans have a
majority.

That Mayor Moran has made mistakes

has differed with him on many important

ever. that he has been honest. that he has
been courageous. that he has earnestly en-
deavored to do what he deemed to be best

They have broken your slate, know:
And the glad. wild ways
OF your school girl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by
Therei little gill; don't cryi
There! little girl: don't cry!
They have broken your heart, know;
And the rainbow CLEANS
OF your youthful dreams
Are things of the long ago;
But heaven holds all for which you sigh;

Fashion makes certain wise laws for the
wearing of jewelry. People who break thest
laws and assume too much are at once show
ing ignorance and lack of that fine taste
which is at the heart OF everything whici
fashion dictates. You may have rings in
numerable-as many as the famous being
who adorned her fingers and toes with them
but that is no reason why YOU need look
like heathen goddess, or il you were
anxious to let all the world see at one time
just how many golden circlets you possessed
You, who have the beauty of youth, do not
need to wear jewelrya little ring if YOU
will, modest brooch, and perhaps bangle
on your wrist, but not an arm covered with
them.
There is nothing more vulgar than to have
thirteen bangles as has one girl know, who
triumphantly points TO them and tells Of their
being given each by a different admirer. Ev-
cry time she announces this fact she falls
thirteen degrees lower in the mind of the
listener, and yet, although she is quick witte,i
and a nice girl, she doesn't seem to compre-
bend that in exacting tribute from her men
friends she is, in way, selling her smiles.
Don't wear ring on your foreinger, and
don't believe because a few actresses and
women, who think being odd is being iudivid-
ual, wear rings on their thumbs, that it is a
proper thing for you to do.-Ladies Home

A marriage celebration in Algeria Il
an interesting relic Of ancient customs
The bridegroom goes to bring bride.
and the guests assembled outside the
house will wait for his corning Soon the
sound of pipe is heard coming from the
summit Of some neighboring hill, and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom's house.
The pipers always come first IN the
procession, then the bride muffled up in
a veil. riding mule led by her lover
Then comes bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver orna-
ments, after which the friends of the
bride follow.
The procession stops in front Of the
bridegroom's house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway The
pipers march off on one side while the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms Tho girrs
friends thereupou throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her over the Threshold Of his
house, Those about the door beat him
WIFI owe bIdHCnts, dillu 1nucn lduRO-
ter.
In the evening, on some occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at time, facing
each other; nor does a couple desist
until, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another The
dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps are small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
an astonishing energy and suppleness.
AS leaves flutter before the gale, SO do
they vibrate to the music; they shake;
they SILVER and tremble; they extend
quivering arms. wave wells. and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy Of tie dance, while the other wo-
men, looking on, encourage by their
high. piercing, trilling cries, which add
to the noise of the pipes and drums. =
