Political Tips.

Georgia republicans have decided
not to place a state ticket in the field.
Their votes will be cast for the peoples
party ticket in October.
The peoples party managers claim
that at the very lowest calculation they
will have 100 members in the next
house In addition to a number of repub
licans and democrats who will be
pledged to alliance or peoples party
principles. They expect to dictate the
selection of the next speaker and direct
the policy of the house.
A southerner writing to Washington
from Montgomery, Ala. concerning the
election there, says: can intelligent
and conservative democrat, who owns a
plantation few miles from the city,
told the writer he went to the polls on
election day, but did not vote, and that
it was his honest belief that Kolb had
honestly carried every county in the
state of Alabama. 1t is my best opin-
ion from careful examination of the
returns so far received that Kolb car
ried every county except two-Mobile
and Jefferson. That result is a surprise
to the organized democracy. as it is
termed, and a sore disappointment.
The result has been maintained, more.
over, against fearful odds. Tile Yam

Housework as an Exercise.

To keep the complexion and spirits
good, to preserve grace, strength and
agility OF motion, there is no gy mnaslum
so valuable, no exercise more benefcent
in result, than sweeping, busting, max
ing beds, washing dishes, and the polish
ing of brass and silver, says the Medical
Record. One year of such muscular
effort within doors, together with regu-
lar exercise in open air. will do more
for woman's complexion than all the
lotions and pomades that were ever in
vented. Perhaps the reason why house
work does so much more for women
than games, is the fact that exercise
which is Immediately productive cheers
the spirit. 1t gives women courage to
go on living and makes things seem
really worth while.

To Read Before You Pray.

The wages paid the 5,263 children
under fourteen years of age working in
the Rhode Island mills are indeed
melancholy texts for those who preach
the ''protection of American industry"
the average wages is Sl.25 week, and
in many cases it is as low as "A cents.
1t is to be remembered that the work
done by these children at from "A cents
to ST. % week is necessary work in
the process of clothmaking. Improved
machinery with almost human intelli-
gence eliminate almost entirely the
necessity for physical strength. Hence
the manufacturers are enabled to get
the work of an able.bodied man done
for "A cents week.
The result is, as Commissioner Good
win shows that fathers beg for work
while their daughters perform what
they otherwise would do for from IA
cents to Sl.25 per week. And when it
is necessary for the poor mother to 90
into the mill in order to keep the
family shove want, she must needs
invest her adult bodily strength in toll
at tina same price pa'd her ten year old
child.,-Boston Globe.

,rhe Plain skirr is Going.

Though the clinging seam skirt is
still in the height of fashion, there is a
strong effort made to considerably en-
large its circumference, and to make it
more elaborate by means Of fat tabliers
by inserted panel pieces both on the
front and sides, and by slashing the
skirts to show plating beneath; also
by placing fan-plaited trimmings and
passementerie bands up some of the
skirt seams. Pulled borders are also
used with band OF ribbon twined' in
and out. Spanish founces are put on
very deep and rather full, with tiny
gathered lace frill as heading, and
another fancy for skirt trimmings is
that of two colors all around the front
and sides of the skirt.

Oil Baths for the Baby.

at is we'll known that the skin is a
great absorbent, and nutrition even can
be conveyed through its agency" says
a trained nurse. ga hJsician once
ordered beef tea bath for baby that
[ was nursing, who was apparently dy-
ing Of some exhausting bowel trouble,
and with admirable effect. And l
myself have found that rubbing delicate
persons with warm olive oil is an ex-
cellent tonic. IF I had the charge of a
puny, sickly baby, should feel inclined
to give it oil baths instead OF water
baths, and try the effect. The oil is
quite as cleansing, and it stands to
reason that such tiny beings, par
ticulariy if they are badly nourished,
should not have the natural oil of the
body continually washed away"

perfumed wadding. They are par

good faith does not alter facts.
ut simply throws upon the public
the necessity of Withdrawing its misused
gifts and exacting an equivalent for all
privileges it may grant in time to come.
That is what this nation proposes to do.
The tariff wall erected against foreign
steel will be removed and the rental

other natural elements will be collected
by the public and used in its own be-

their owners on level, economic as

whom they have treated in so con-

A Large Land Sale.

On Monday, Oct. 18th, the larg-
est transfer of improved real estate
was made that has transpired in
Grant parish for several years. 1t
was the sale of the Mirabeau
plantation by Mr.. r. S. Cameron
to Messrs. j. Fl. McNeely and G..
H. and T. P. Mcknight. The
place contains 1850 acres, and the
price Of the purchase was S16,5OO,
of which $500 was cash, the bal
ance in ten annual notes bearing 6
per cent interest. By the purchase
Mr.. J. H. McNeely becomes one
half owner, while the Mcknight
brothers each acquire one-fourth
interest in the place.

That surplus has been inves-
tigated by the N. O. States, and it
finds that, "the actual condition of
the treasury on Jan. l, 1893, will
represent a surplus of s39O,0O0."
This is pretty fair showing, if
it does cut down that 100000 a
little bit. Let the States retros-
pect as far back as April l, 1892,
and see if the surplus left by Gov.
Nichols won't be somewhat larger
than the figures it admits will be
shown up in 1898.

Guice Failed to DECKER.

UuICC Z 0lsC0 w DhCACAs
On the 18th inst. "Col." T. John
athan Guice, he of the greasy col
lar and wide expanse of tobacco
stained shirt bosom, landed in the
city of New Orleans cooked and
primed for a com bination with the
Republicans. The following is the
proposition lie submitted to them:
/. The peoples party have the selection
Of one elector for the State at large, and
one elector from each of the third, fourth
and sixth congressional districts, making
four in all.
2. The Republican party have the &C.
lection of one elector for the State at
large. and one elector from each OF the
first, second and fifth districts, making
four in all.
3. That both parties shall exert them
selves and use all honorable means to
elect the eight electors thus named: but
when elected they shall respectively serve
the parties selecting them, and are not in
any way pledged in any event whatever
to aid the other party supporting this
fusion ticket.
4. The Republicans shall not run any
candidate for Congress in the second or
third congressional districts, and shall in
stead support the Republican party can
didates.
5. The peoples party shall not run any
candidate for Congress In the second or
third congressional districts, and shall in
stead supports the Republican party cam
didates.
6. In the first congressional district
neither the Republican not peoples party
make any nomination for Congress, but
shall, instead, support an independent
| or independent Democrat to oppose the
regular Democratic nominee; such can
didate to be mutually agreed upon be-
tween the Peoples party and the Repub-
licans.
z. In the conduct of this fusion CAM
paign every honorable means possible
shall be used by both parties to this COM
pact to elect the entire fusion ticket. both
the presidential electors and compression
al candidates, but when elected they shall
not be under any pledge or promise, one
to the other, but shall in all matters stand
relative to each other the same as if elect
ed by their respective parties, without
the assistance OF the other party to the
contract.
1t seems that only few of the
Republicans looked with any favor
on the proposition, and, although
one or two days were spent in
council over the matter, the major
ity of the leading Republicans de-
clined to go into any such an ar
rangement. They hold that the
Third Partyites are fighting for nc
principle, but are perfectly willing
| for the rest of the State to go to
the demnitiou bow-wows if they
can only land their demagogues in
the Sd and 4th Congressional dis
tricts. They also object to the
terms of the agreement relative te
national affairs, and altogether re
pudiate the combination as one
which no honorable Republican
will consent to take part in.
1t is said the Third Party lead
ers are going to try to hoodwinl
the colored voters of the 4th dis
trict into the idea that they ar
bound by this pretended agreement
and unless active measures are ia
ken to correctly inform them,
good many colored men may b
fooled into voting for Guice by thi
campaign trick.
