this discovery they have found that
whatever faults may lie with the tariff,
there are other important factors which
experience and information enable
them to know positively contribute to
their distressed and unhappy condition.
These factors and a demand for their
removal have been plainly set forth in
the demands of the alliance and the
platform of the peoples party. The
situation summed up is about as fol-
lows: The republican party is defend
ing the doctrine of protection and ig-
noring everything else, while the dem
ocratic party is advocating tariff re-
form and straddling all other ques-
tions. In opposition to both is
the peoples party demanding re-
forms in economic conditions which
the old parties ignore and neglect The
strength of both the old parties lies in
the partisanism of its members and not
their devotion to principle. It is the
love of party and the strength of party
ties that bind them together, and not
fealty to the doctrines of free trade or
protection. The question for politicians
to consider is how much longer will
party bonds Withstand the present cx-
treme tension? Is it probable that
partisanism can be depended ON as
against intelligence and a real desire to
better conditions? In Kansas last fall
the republican party started out on a
campaign of tariff and bloody shirt
As a result the people refused
to attend their meetings, and focked
by thousands to listen to alliance and
independent speakers discuss the liv-
ing questions of financial and other re-
forms Does any one doubt If the
democratic leaders in Mississippi had
confined their speeches to the questions
of free trade and the. force bill and ig-
nored the sub-treasury plan and other
alliance demands, that the same condi-
tions would have been repeated? Had
it been done Senator George and his
adherents would have met with the
same fate that overlook ex-senator
Ingalls, and his friends It is NO longer

tinued with fine-spun illusions that

What they may say or do should be
measured BY the exigency Of the occa-
sion, and not BY apparent candor or
earnestness. In view of this the duty
of each seems perfectly plain. A gem
eral reckoning should be made and the
bearings taken in accordance with the
best information and thorough knowl-
edge obtainable It should be . con-

Hints for Money-Making Girls.

Hundreds of thousands of girls have
a great desire to make little money,
and | don't know whether to call it a
laudable one or not l am not be-
lever in girls going out into the world
to work unless it is absolutely necessary !;
but when it is, then | want them to do
it in the right way. / want them to
think that every particle of work they
do is done, not only for their own sakes,
not only for their employers-it must
be right and honest in the sight of God.
A very clever woman not very long ago
wrote an article about working women,
and in it she used this beautiful quota
ton of Ruskin's: "Queens you always
should be. Queens to your lovers, to
your husbands, to your sons; queens of
higher mystery to the world beyond"
But she did not put the rest of the
quotation, and in that lies the story of
the non.success of many girls. This
is it: " But, alasl you are too often
idle and careless queens, grasping at
majesty in the least things, while you
abdicate in the greatest" With only
the hope of making money your work
will be worth little, and certainly not
be worthy of consideration by noble
minds or by the good God who watches
over you day and night. You girls
hurt yourselves, hurt your work, make
it of less value and yourselves less re-
spected because you so entirely draw
the line at what you will and what you
will not do. That which your hands
ind to do is the duty before you, and the
woman who, employed in counting
house, finds it but little trouble to keep
her desk in order, and, when she has
time, to straighten up somebody else's
who hasn't the time. is the woman
whose work is going to be noted and
counted as valuable. The woman who,
announcing that she must get work or
starve, and who yet is not willing to be
at her desk at eight O'Clock in the
morning, deserves TO starve. The
woman who, knowing that for a certain
number of hours she should in honor
give her time to her employer, is but a
poor worker when ten minutes after
the hour finds her arriving, and five
minutes before the hour to 90 away
sees her getting her cloak ready and ar
ranging for her outdoor costume. The
good workman doesn't drop the pen or
the hammer at the stroke of the hour;
he finishes first that which he is doing,
for his heart is in his work, and that's
the way it must be with you girls if
you want to succeed and make ever" a
little money" -LadieS' Home Journal.

To BE a Model Hostess.

All the beautiful decorations on the
table will amount to nothing unless the
hostess herself wears, as a decoration,
"a charming manner and an absolute
ignoring of anything except that which
will give pleasure to her guests, says
the Ladies' Home Journal. l mistakes
should occur it will be wiser for her
not to see them. If an awkward serv-
ant should stumble and upset dish
she should be as equable as if some one
had only thrown a crown of roses about
her. While it is her duty to permit no
guest to be neglected, it is also her
duty not to seem flustered or worried
and she is the best hostess always who
manages to make people feel most at
ease. Don't attempt to do too much
unless you have servants who are
capable of carrying out your orders.
n simple dinner, well served, is always
better form than an elaborate one,
badly served, and with a half-cooked
hostess at the head of the table. In
vite people who will help make your
dinner success, people who talk well
and yet do not talk too much. Flashes
of silence are as much of an art in con-
NerSdllOu as are HasneS OF VIII. Gul
together the people who will grow in
terested in each other, and under nc
circumstances yield to the selfish de-
sire of some young woman who wants
to be near somebody who won't be in,
terested in her at all, and who will in
this way cause rift in the harmony
you desire to achieve. Have your table
as prettily decorated as you can, have
your linen as immaculate as possible
have everything hot, as hot as it car
be, and everything cold, well iced. Dc
not make the mistake of serving any
thing tepid; and as for yourself, be az
cool as your ice, as bright as the candle
light, as charming as the flowers and as
sweet as the bonbons that mean dinner
is over.

No intelligent woman would think
OF sitting down to sew with a needle
devoid Oh point, or attempting to write
without pen or pencil, yet many one
will ruin temper and food by attempt
ing to cook with poor fire. Some
times, it is true, economy must be
closely studied, where the stove has
done duty for many years, and the
way is not clearly shown to obtain a
new one with modern improvements.
But many housewife will spend much
care and labor in the preparation of
some elaborate dish, and then spoil the
whole by attempting TO cook it with an
indifferent fire. Although more or
less cooks burn their food, the greatest
evil seems to arise from too slow fire,
so that from the oven emerge soggy
pie-crust, heavy cake and partially
cooked roasts. A well beaten omelet
is spoiled because, the fire being low.
the cook does not wait for the frying
pan to become thoroughly heated, trust
ing to "lucE " that it will come out
all right" The doughnuts soak fat -
because the fat had not been brought
to the proper heat. Fifteen minutes
are wasted in stirring pudding be-
cause it would take the milk so long to
come to boil that the impatient COOK
added the eggs and corn starch before
the milk boiled. Many woman spends
all of Saturday forenoon with her bak
ing, which might easily have been done
IN two hours, and with better success
mad she begun with good steady fire.
