Meg Merrilles ever looked wilder or more like a
fury than did, and now will introduce the
subject OF my sermon.
"a calico ball had been given in Inman a short
time before for the purpose Of raising funds for
some destitute old soldiers and their families,

aristocratic mamma objected to public

an hour had those curtains ripped, sponged and

neighbor woman who could sew nicely and she

because she had q pattern that would just fit
me.

YOU CANNOT.

Say, young man, there is one thing
you cannot do. You can't make a
success in life unless you work. Bet
ter men than you have tried it and
failed. You can't loaf around street
corners and saloons, smoke cigars, tell
foul stories, drink whiskey, and sponge
on some one else without making a
failure in life. You must learn trade
or get into some honest business. II
you don't you will be chronic loafer,
despised by all, producing nothing
simply making yourself burden on
your parents or on the State.
There is no place in the world to-day
for loafers. The ripe fruits all at the
top Of the tree. You must climb to get
it. II you wait for it to fall at your
feet you will newer get it. Smarter
men will jump and pluck it. Move.
Do something, no matter how small.
1t will be starter. Help yourself and
others will helpy you. There is no roy
al path to success. Toll, grit. endur-
ance- these are the requisites. Wake
up and see what you can do.--Forres.

Consequently Lynn shoe Factories do :
Rushing Business.
Noting the fact that the Lynn factories
are months behing their orders, the Iowa
State Register says there must be more
factories built to supply the demand,
and the high tariff organ adds: $50 It
goes in every direction. The blessed Nc
Kinley tariff ID providing labor at good
wages for every person who desires it."
Perhaps the Iowa organ has forgotten
that the boot and shoe industry prospers
and the demand for its product increases
because there is absolutely free trade in
hides. The shoemakers of Lynn, says
the Chicago Times, are not forced to ex-
ert their efforts on raw materials en-
HANGED in cost by tariff falsely claimed
to be for their protection. The revival
OF the boot and shoe industry dated from
the removal of the tariff duties on hides.
Mckinley tried to replace those duties,
but failed because of the emphatic pro-
test of his partisans In New England.

TIE COMPLETE SENATE TABLES RE-
FUTE his STATEMENTS.


Senator Aldrich treated a. Of equal
value the food, clothes, building materials
patents medicines and other articles the
prices OF which were examined by the
Senate committee--in other words, his
calculation assumed that 4 family con-
sumes ~ much medicine as food.
In the same way. In treating the food
list, mustard and pepper were treated ~
Of as much Importance a. bread and meat.
while examining the cost OF clothes Il
was assumed that q family expended %
much for Innings ~ for coats, hats, blank
cts and dress goods.
The full tables are now issued, and
from them can be gathered the truth
concerning expenditures for the food
that was consumed and the clothes
that were bought during the period Of
twsnty-sight months investigated BY
the Senate.
Taking bread, -four, eggs, butter, cod,
beef, milk, mutton, pork, potatoes,
onions and cabbages as the basis Of the
ordinary American table, we may, says
the New York World, compare their
prices at the beginning OF the period,
June, 1859, with the highest prices attained
during the period and also with those OF
the last month Of the period, September
1891. The following table, 100 being the

road, is now located in Shepherdstown.

They are moving much slower than
when they first surveyed this route, as
they are now locating the road bed.
The line being laid out is higher than
the first one, and viii be just above the
high water mark Of 1889, the great
est food Of which history or tradition
has any knowledge. Mr.. Watts in
conversation with the Shepherdstown
Register man, said that the route along
the river as he surveyed it couple
months ago was So miles. BY max
ing cut OF from Falling Waters 10
Little Georgetown. the line can be
shortened l3i miles, making the dis
lance 42i miles and this may posi-
bic be shortened still more by cutting
across some OF the necks. The dis
lance by the present B. q 0. line is
80 miles. The surveyors viii proba-
bly, be in Shepherdstown three weeks.
OF course the great question, is,
will the road be builts We have
abundant reason to believe that II
will be. An official high up in the
managementof the B. 8 O. recently
wrote that there was no buncombe
about the snrvey-that the company
means business and the road will be
constructed. a gentleman who is in
a position to know great deal Of the
plays Of the B. q @. said chat he be-
llieved it was the settled purpose Of the
COR pany to construct the new line,
and that while it was possible 1t might
not be built right away he was conf
dent that it was work that would be
accomplished. Another source Of in
formation gives it out that the estab-
lshment Of the great yards at Bruins
wick, the improvements at Harper's
Ferry and the new river road are all
parts Of one plan that the company
has carefully worked ont and pro
p ,ses to complete.

Then, Up Goes the Price.

It Il clear that steel rails can be sold
abroad at foreign prices, but, shielded
by the tariff, the Trust never sells to
Americans ct this price except when one
member of the Trust .'loads up" and be-
gins to fight the Trust by cutting prices.
Twice by such 1break" the American
price has come down a. the foreign
price; but the Trust hastens to pacify or
buy out the stupid manufacturer who
sells at such prices ~ he can afford to
sell at instead Of exacting the full black
mail Of el3.A per ton, which the law
authorizes him to exact. Then, says the
Salt Lake Herald, the price goes mp
again.

All actual and permanent expansion and
Indignation of society proceeds from the
voluntary cooperative action of individ-
uals. The social reformer, therefore, who
would work in harmony with the tendencies
and laws of nature must direct his efforts
toward convincing the judgments and in
fluencing the motives and moral natures
of individual men and women rather than
toward forcibly changing the customs of
society by legal enactments, official pro-
nunciamentos or majority votes under the
white heat of an emotional political cam
paign.
All of these popular and customary
agencies of political action are doubtless of
some service as educational influences, in
citing thought among large classes of PEG
pie who would otherwise remain passive
puppets or unrefecting adherents of con-
ventional social customs; but as means of
finally solving and disposing of social and
political problems they are lamentable
failures.-Dr. Lewis G. James in Popular
Science Monthly

The desperate straits OF the little in
CRATE at Washington to secure one who
Is willing to sacrifice his time and con,
tribute his labor to elect him president of
the United States again, is one of the
most ludicrous incidents OF the campaign
thus far. 1t is doubtful il ever before a
party has been so long or experienced SO
much difficulty in securing head for its
political machinery. Heretofore it has
generally been conceded an honor to
manage a great campaign and accepted
as such, but this year the place has gone
begging, not perhaps because those asked
to lead are so much opposed to the re-
publican rarty as because they have no
use or liking for the disburser of federal
patronage who has renominated him.
self. The refusal of Mr. Camp
bell, of Chicago, to act in the capacity
of chairman of the national republican
committee has created as much of a dis
rupion in the ranks of the party as any>
thing that has happened, for it has
brought to light again the fact that it
was the presidents refusal TO honor Mr.
Campbell politically on Senator Fsrwells
recommended that brought about the
strained relations between the senator
and the president. The president, it will
be remembered. refused point blank TO
appoint Nj. Campbell collector of the
port of Chicago though thoroughly urged
by the senator to make the appointment
and later he comes around begging the
same Mr. Campbell to manage his cam
paign for him in order to help deliver g

1t Seemed Strange to Him.

The old fellow had evidently been busy
with her for some time, for the counter
was covered with the different styles which
he had shown and his patience was well
nigh exhausted.
The lady, rising from the counter, asked
the salesman to take out four pieces of
different styles which she selected and to
lay them alongside of one another. She
then thus expressed herself:
Now that first piece-I think it beauti-
full, don't youf'
Salesman-Yes, madam, that is a very
pretty style.
Lady-But that second piece is too sweet
for anything. Do you sell much of that?

Lady-Indeed! But l don't think the
style of that third piece is very new Have
you had that style long?
Salesman-Long is it? Begorrah it only
arrived last night.

of that last piece best of all, but | don't
think it would be becoming to my friend,
do you?
