Selecting Carpets and Rugs.

In buying carpets remember that the
best are always the cheapest. The more
limited one S means are, the more essential
it is that only good article shall be pur-
chased. The best quality of body Brussels
will outwear two or more of the cheaper
tapestry carpets. A finely woven. smooth
ingram carpet may cost half dollar more
per yard than one OF common texture, but
IL will be cheaper in the end. Rugs for
the center Of the room can be made from a
body Brussels, with border TO match.
They should he tackled down. japanese
cotton rugs. pretty and durable, cost from
three to six dollars. They are good for
bedrooms, bathrooms and sitting rooms.
Buy handsome rugs whenever y~u can
afford 70. They are good investment;
for, unlike carpets, they do not wear out,
and you can hand them down in the family
the same as silver o. diamonds. A beau
tiful oriental rug Is a JOY forever. In Sc
lecting one be particular TO see that the
coloTs are rich. and have some brightness.
In general, wAeu choosing carpets have the
groundwork rather Light, and the colors
somewhat neutral. Such carpet will al
ways look clean, and you will net feel the
need OF shutting ont the sunlight through
fear OF fading--Maria Parloa in Ladies

A ROW IN THE COMMONS.

| LONDON, May 4-Richard Haldane's bill
| to confer upon local authorities the power
| TO COMPEL land owners to sell their land,
in order that it may be divided into small
holdings, was discussed in the commons
| today ,... .5..-.
| Herbert Asquith, advanced Liberal, con-
! tended that the owner of land on which
human residences are built is not entitled
| to the improved value of the land due to
| the increase of population. Ia that re-
spect, Mr.. Asquith held, land deferred
from consols or commercial enterprises.
Before he had an opportunity, however,
| to explain wherein the difference lies, he
was interrupted by Z. Cunningham
| Graham. Socialist, who represents the
northwest division OF Lanarkshire, who
excitedly asked: "How about swlndling
shareholders in a company?"
Amid cries of "Orderr' Graham shouted,
81 have right to explain; this is swind
ling speechp'
The house was in great confusion, and
| the speaker said: THE conduct of the
member is such that l am compelled to
name Graham
Graham retorted, "All right; am named
for standing up for Socialism"
This caused renewed confusion, and
Home Secretary Matthews moved that
Graham be suspended.
To this Graham said: lob! suspend; l
OOn Z care.
Secretary Matthews motion was adopted
without dissenting vote. The suspension
is for one week.
When the result was announced Graham
said: 'Mr. Speaker, | beg to. apologize for
my apparent disconrtesy to you; but l
consider that / have been suspended for
standing up for Socialism. | would be
| glad TO argue the question before hun
dred thousand people in Hyde Park"
During the scene Sir John Lubbock tried
to control Graham, urging him to obey
the speakers call TO order. Graham, in
response TO his well intentioned efforts,
said: Il don't care a damn. l have been
named for talking socialism" In
mediately after the motion suspending
him had been adopted, Graham walked
with a staggering gait down the floor,
| saying as he went: This house is a
! swindle. | am suspended as a Socialist" {"
! He talked until the door closed behind
! him.
The discussion of Haldaae's bill was
then resumed. When the measure was
put to vote the house rejected it by a
1 vote OF 146 to 223.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE

OMAHA, May 4-Bishop Warren pre-.
sided at the morning session of the Meth
odist conference, and called the gathering
TO order promptly at o'clock.
After devotional exercises the episcopal
address was begun by Bishop Foster.
There was large audience present in the
galleries, and the delegates gave the vener.
able bishop profound attention.
The report reviewed the work in foreign
lands, showing it to be in excellent condi-
iion. Nc schisms nor dissensions had ap-
peared in the church during the past four
years. Since the last general conference
fully 100000 members have been added to
the church, a greater growth than had
ever been known before in the history of
the church. Upon the admission OF
women to the general conference the re-
suit of the vote was given as follows:
Laity-For, 233, ,66S; against, 1863 S43; min
isterial-for, 5.609; against, 4,9i4. The re-
port gave an exhaustive review of every
branch of church work, and recommended
that great care be exercised IN procuring
ministers-strong men fully abreast with
the education of the age-for the educated
pew would not endure an uneducated pull
In conclusion, Bishop Foster said: ''The
church demands an Americanized fran
chise, as well as a naturaliZed franchise.
The continuation of foreign languages
Rnd customs in this country is wrong, and
we are opposed to the teaching of foreign
languages in our schools. We believe that
the franchise should be more guarded and
that foreigners should be required to
serve longer apprenticeship to secure it.
We regard the congressional legislation
excluding Chinese as inhuman, and rec
Dmmend that petitions to congress be pre-
pared by this conference TO not pass the
measure"
bounced, and if it is not arrested there
will be danger to the social estate and
functions, and the church must act. 1t
cannot side with wealth; it must go with
the toiling masses. Total abstinence is
imperative, and complete state prohibit
tion is urged. The report declares that the
nnion of the church north and south is
drifting closer. and that it is not an i'm
possibility. The north still holds out the
hand of welcome.

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS.

MUsKEGoN, Mich, May 4-Spencer O.
Fisher. Don NJ. Dickinson, Edward Ryan
and Edward f. Uhl were, as anticipated,
elected delegates-at-iarge to the national
convention at Chicago by the state Demo
cratic convention, which terminated Its
proceedings here this evening
In the platform adopted the delegates
were instructed to vote for Cleveland.
Tariff reform was pronounced the over
shadowing issue of the coming campaign,
and the demand was made of the govern
ment to give clear waterway from the
great lakes to the ocean.
There were a couple of little storms,
which, though of a threatening nature,
ended without serious results. The nrst
arose from desire on the part of section
to select Wellington r. Burt for the honor
which was conferred upon Spencer u.
Fisher. The second was over All attempt
to introduce a free silver resolution into
the report of the platform committee. Ihe
convention, however, ended in harmany.
When the resolutions were read another
scene. and a more impassionate one than
the first, arose An amendment was Of
fered that the name of Dickinson be sub
stituted for that of Campau as member OF
the national committee. Mr.. Dickinson
declared that he would not accept.
Then delegate Atkinson rose, and his
rising was the signal for furious out
burst. de declared against the prlnclpie
of binding the delegates to vote for any
one man and then accused Cleveland OF
inability to carry his own state.
Cries of Turn him outp' arose from
every portion of the building. Men rose
in their seats, clenched their teeth, and
showed disposition TO forcibly eject him.
Confusion reigned for the time being. AT
length he (Atkinson) was shouted down:
After series of proposals, the drift of
which it was impossible to catch, the re
port was adopted amidst deafening ap-
plause.
The names of the national delegates
selected by the districts were then con-
firmed, and the convention adjourned,
with The clstomarY complimentary votes.
