THEY sTAIo AT HOME.

Special Expert waite, of the Census Itu
rcau. Explains tho Result of the Eicctio,
"a Million Repyblican Farmers StnId
at Uome-IntercAtlng Deductions Mndo
from u stntistIcIrn's standpoiit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-Thc lotest
explanation of the election is given by
I Mr.. Fred. c. Waite, the special expert
of the census burean, in charge of the
statistics OF true wealth. He saws the
election went the way 1t did because n
million republican, farmers staid mt
home last Tuesday,. All the other sur.
priscs of the election seem TO him TO
have been but the following out Of nat
ural laws well established by statistics.
In a paper prepared for delivery be-
fore Johns Hopkins university he saws:
The decrease II, the, per cont. of our
population enRuBed, in farming from
1850 to 1880 was exceedingly small.
You may ask how. then. could the per
cent. of onr population in cities have
increased from 1915 to oa.e per cent.
Because the per ccntagc OF our populn-
ton in villages decreased from 80 to -
per cent. During the eighties there was
change in this uniformity of decrease
IN population and wealth engaged in
the various industries. In 9,OO1 miles
OF counties on both sides of the Missis-
sippi south of st. Paul every county
has, for stretch of twenty miles,
shown an absolute decrease during the
eighties in the farming population. IL
is not only so in almost every county
enst OF the Mississippi but also in the
counties containing the njor part OF
the population westward to the Pacific
with this exodus OF young people
from the farms, the money and the
wealth has been piled up in the cities.
In the north central states which con-
tain one-third of the'wcalth of this con.
tinent, the increase in the value of
urban real estate has been six times
MS great MS that of the farms. which
has actually failed to increase rs fast
as the mortgage indebtedness upon
them. Is it any wonder that this cleo
tion means more than the defeat of one
party? There is nothing surprising to
the statistician in the Cleveland vote
except that it has been cut
down by the new methods of ballot
ing. The republican farmers have not
become democrats. In the northwest
they voted largely as populists, but in
the central and eastern states they
voted against all three parties. The
fact that million Republican farmers
stayed home and took care Of their
own business together with the mar-
nitude OF the populist vote was the one
warning feature of the election. The

There is a natural objection also to
the rcassembling of congress immedi-
ately after the Inauguration, on the
ground that it would have more or less
Of an injurious influence on the busi-
hess of the country.
Another objection to an extraortli-
nary session in the minds of Clcvclands
friends is that the republican party
and its allies have demonstrated alto
gethcr too eager desire that Mr..
Cleveland should call an extraordinary
session. 1t is not customary for a new
administration to accept counsel from
the enemy.
But stronger than anything else is
thc feeling that an extraordinary sca.
sion could be OF no particular adyan-
tage. and that the proper thing to do is
to give Mr.. Cleveland and the demo-
cratic leaders time to look around and
determine just what course to pursue

that it would take all next summer

that 1t will be plenty OF time to go

TaE MEMORY OF FREE TRADE TIMES.

In mEmOh Of rhEE TRADE I'm les
Isaac Baker of Marion, Ind, tells a
story familiar to all old Republicans. He
says: 81 am only middle aged man, but
can remember Free Trade times and
how things were at my parents home.
About everything we had was made
across the sea. My early recollection of
crockery the plates and other dishes,
with the English lion surrounded by blue
on the bottom of all, is quite vivid. The
knives and forks and pocket-knives, and,
in fact, all cutlery was made acress the
sea in Sheffield, England. The locks up
on the doors had the English lion and
the unicorn stamped upon them; the
watches were English lever and Swiss
made Our clothing was all English or
Scotch goods, unless we wore home
spun The linens, table cloth, napkins,
etc., were from Great Britain. The
threads, needles, pins, calicoes and bet
ter class of cotton goods came from Eng
land. In short, the house was largely
supplied with articles from England,
with the English lion stamped upon
them. The glassware was made across
the sea, and plate glass was entirely i'm
ported. In 1861 the Republican party
changed this We quit making million
aires in England and began making the
American people prosperous. "-PMiGdel-

Ca,arrb.No. Local. But Constitutions,

DR.. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in magazine article says: "A
radical error underlies nearly all medical
treatment of catarrh. 1t is not a dis
ease of the mans nose; it is a disease OF
the man, showing itself in the nose-a
Local exhibition of a Constitutional
trouble" Therefore, he argues, the
use of snuff and other local applications
is wrong, and wLile they seem to give
temporary relief, they really do more
harm than good. Other leading authori-
ties agree with DR.. Lewis. Hence the
only proper method of cure for catarrh is
by taking constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, reaching
every part of the BODY through the blood
does eliminate all impurities and makes
the whole man healthier. 1t removes
the cause of the trouble and restores the
diseased membrane to proper condition.
That this is the practical result is
proven by thousands of people who have
been cured of catarrh by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

THOSE sUPERFLUoUS BUTTONS,

The buttons on the sleeve of Goa
seem to be useless excrescences, and so
at present they are, but they are remi-
niscent of the days when men wore cuffs
which extended down over the tips of
their fingers.
Gloves were not then in use, and dur
ing cold weather man turned down his
cuffs and so kept his hands warm. When
the weather was fair he turned up the
cuffs and buttoned them TO keep them
out of the way.
The buttons at the back of the coat
are equally suggestive of former styles
of dress. Coats, 100 years ago, were
made with very wide skirts and but
ton-hole in the corner. When a man
was riding he drew his skirts over his
knees to keep his legs warm, but when
walking the long skirts would be in the
w.y, so he turned them back and but
toned them up.
