Not as Honest as of YOre.

It's strange; yes, passing strange,
how mems views change. More es-
peciaily is this true of politicians,
whose views change as their party's
interest demand it. We cite one in
particular, that of James G. Blaine,
the probable candidate for the presl-
dency in 1892 on the republican side.
In delivering a speech at Show hogan,
Maine, in 1861 the frisky JAM s held
up a greenback dollar to the audience
and asked, "Wbat is this? A dollar.
A good dollar; good for the farmer,
the merchant, the mechanic, the
sailor, everybody. What makes it a
good dollar? Because every dollars
worth of property In tn e United
States is behind it, and the life's
blood of every true and loyal Ameri-
can citizen is behind it. And that
makes it a good dollar" If Mr..
Blaine was right in IS61-and he was
why IS 1t that those who stick to
the same great fundamental truth
today upon this, the most important
of all political questions, are de-
nouuced by Mr.. Blaine and his fol
lowers as most willfully and mali
ciously wrong? Only one answer can
be given, and that's that the politics
of these gentlemen and the party of
which they are the leaders have un-
dergone most radical change by and
through the dictation Of the menda-
cious money power Of this country
and that of Europe.

abandoned the comforts at home and

The Pony Still Rncking.

IN last weeks issue of the Dark
Horse, under the caption of SCORE
spondence from Kanorado," we find
the following choice tid-bit of un-
mitigated falsity:
Mike Higgins, the new sheriff at Burling-
ton, was in this place a few days ago, and
said the Parson was out to Burlington i'm
mediately after election and wanted to start
a republican paper there, but they told him
no. How is that for honesty Of purpose?
All we have to say to the CORE
spondent is that we did go out to Bur
lIngton and offer to put in a printing
outfit there, and a man to run it, but
did not propose to be responsible for
the politics of the sheet. That they
did not say "no," but urged us to
come at once. We think we can
compare with the correspondent or
the editor in chief as to ''honesty of
purpose" We mind our own bust
ness, which is more than car be said
of the pie bald sheet that jumps on
to everybody.

The Last American Monarch.

Monarchy in America died before
the death of its last representative.
There has, indeed, been but one es-
tablished monarchy on this continent
since European discovery, and that
was the empire of Brazil. The two
attempts to found an empire in Mex
leo both resulted in the violent death
of the self styled emperoIs, and it is
hardly worth while to allude in this
connection to the caricature, partly
ludicrOus and partly tragical, of royal
government in Hayti. In Brazil i'm
perial rule lasted because it was not
forced upon the people, and because,
under the late Dom Pedro, it was
little more than the shadow of mon
archy, the form of government being
substantially republican. When the
BrazilIans concluded that it was time
for the empire, even as a shadow, to
pass away, Dom Pedro showed his
pure love OF his country by accepting
the change without struggle.
The New York Press eulogizes the
late monarch i'll the following ords /:
''Tbe late ex emperor will alwags be
kindly remembered. He was a man
of domestic virtues and of broad
statesmanlike ideas He ms MT
troubled with an overweening appre-
cation OF his own Importance, and
never claimed to be of a different
mould from other men. His amiable
characteristics, his love and patronage
of learning, and his hostility to
slavery, which he was instrumental
in abolishing in Brazil, will always
be remembered to his credit

Banker b., aud agrees to pay 10
per cent interest for the use Of
it. This amounts TO 500 an
nuallY. Iu order to obtain this
300 at that time Farmer A had
to sell either so bushels OF
wheat, 165 bushels of oats, 125
bushels of corn, $50 pounds OF
butter, $50 pounds OF pork, or
ITO pounds of wool.
In 1890 the loan is renewed
at 7 per cent. The interest is
now only $40 annually. In Or

HOW TO WEAR GRAY.

Every woman wears gray be-
cause it is fashionable, and SO
it behooyes the woman who is
a sallow blonde to know that
her gray dress ought to hay. a
rich cardinal or crimson plas-
tron or a big, soft fichu OF red
chiffon.
The reddish blonde need not
read this article. She can wear
gray pure and simple without
modification.
The brunette should take
heed that her gray dress has a
touch Of pink or old rose near
her face, or, It it becomes her
better, of yellow.
No girl who is dark should
ever put blue with gray.
No girl who has not u rose
leaf skin should wear cream
and gray.
Never wear a gray bat unless
you face it with the tint that
is most becoming. II you heed
these hints you will probably
confress them Wise.-N. Y. Re-

RAIN MADETO ORDER.

When, through the persistent
efforts Of Hon. G. B. Farwell OF
Chicago, Congress was induced
to appropriate small sum Of
money for an expert in
rain-making in the arid regions
of this country, the wits and
photographers Of the press made
all manner OF fun of the Illinois
senator. Now the laugh is with
that statesman and those who
had faith in his projects. This
was to employ dynamite or
some other powerful explosive,
at a high altitude, to bring to-
gether the different currents of
the upper air strata. Some OF
these are warm and laden with
moisture, while others are dry
and cool. When these current,
meet and mingle, the moisture
i'll the first liz condensed aud
falls to tn. earth. Such was
the theory uf the advocates of
rain-making. Within a fort
night practical tests have been
made in Texas and New Mexico,
and the truth OF the hypothesis
established.
The experiments ordered by
Congress were intrusted to the
Department of Agriculture,
which gave them in charge to
Gen. R. G. Dyhrenfurth. That
gentleman selected Midland,
Texas, for the first experiments.
The ranch of Nelson Morris,
comprising 100000 acres. on
which no rain had fallen fol-
| six weeks, was chosen for the
trial. This is a vast prairie
over which the winds are con.
tinually sweeping. There a
shed was built, in which the
oxyhydrogen gas was made and
the balloons inflated. Three
classes OF experiments were
made. One was the explosion
on the earth Of giant powder
|, and rend-rock boombs; the sec
ond of sending to a lofty
hight large cloth kites, heavily
loaded with dynamite cartridges
These We're exploded by an
! electric current sent TO them
through the wire used instead
OF 3 kite string. The third was
by balloons charged with oxy.
hydrogen gas, which exploded
, at a height OF 1000 feet.
A copious rain followed close
after the first explosion; it con
siRued several hours over q
, large area. Four other expert
:,ents were made, and were at
tended by similar results

FASHIONS ARE PLAIN THIS YEAR.

"The tendency of fashions this

yards OF double-width goods be-

fashion this year is succinctly
outlined by a prominent French
manufacturer, who said: Five
yards Of cloth will make a
