Wedding Presents.

1t is a perple1ing question to many per.
sons OH the marriage OF their friends as to
what they shall give them. And the ques-
tion is not easily answered by remaining ut
home thinking about it. Tho light way
to do Is to 20 where a variety OF goods is
kept suitable for wedding gifts. To such an
establishment q visit was paid yesterday,
and while the variety OF goods displayed is
almoss endless, yet the beauty, utility and
appropriateness OF SO many articles makes
the question of choosing compa aratively
First was seen o fine display of banquet
lamps One that we particularly admired
was figure of Cupid in satin silver holding
bowl of flasree work in gold. The base 0.
the figure was also In gold and the whole
surDouRed with beautiful silk shade.
Others very pretty in design were of onyx
and gold, onyx and silver, etc. In this de-
partment there is also q large assortment OF
piano and vase lamps il almost every con-
coivable shape and style.
Every bride nowadays is supposed to have
appropriate than o nice dinner set. Here
We saw a great variety in Haviland, Ponyat,
Guerin, Vienna, and we don't know what
other makes, all beautiful in shapes and
decorations; also fist sets, game sets, meat
sets, ice sets. There was just opened lara o
shipment, direct from Limoges, consisting
OF exquisite fruit plates. salads, comports,
pudding sets. olive trays, celery trays, ETC.,
all in the latest decorations.
In Dric-a-Drac you have an immense array
to choose from, consisting Of Royal Wor-
cester, Doulron, Old Hall, Bonn, etc. and as
these goods are all direct from the factories
you will see the latest lpodelings and deco
rations. Then for the buffet or dining tn bie,
what bride does not appreciate rich cut
glass fruit bowls, punch bowls, carafes
pitchers, decnnters, celery trays, olivs
dishes, oil bottles, toilet bottles.
Flower vases and bowls go to make up
this very interesting exhibit.
A long line OF beautiful decorated cham
ber sets is also quite q feature OF the stock.
We have enumerated but few OF the
articles YOU have to choose from, but call nc
Cavitt, Pollock Il Co.'s, No. 935 Penn avenue
and see ii We are not correct i'll saying that
they have something to suit every taste and
purse. Their elegant show rooms are only
q few doors from Ninth street.

1 WORD FROM OUR PEERLESS
p" CLOAK DEPARTMENT.

Greater care than we have exer-
cised in the selection of our styles
and materials it would be impos-
sible to contemplate. And all
our garments are strictly tailor
made by men tailors. OF course,
we're aware there's big competi-
tion in the Cloak Business, which
we neither underestimate nor ig-
more, only to this extent, that we
have marked and will continue
marking our goods at our usual,
lower than anywhere else, prices,
and they talk every time, and we
know and are assured they'll
enable us to sustain our we'll
earned reputation as money savers
for all Of the people. Not only
this, but we'd take this opportun-
ity Of saying to you that every
garment we sell If you can equal it
Tor style. ft, price or material in
either city we'll cheerfully refund
your money. And mind, there's
no antediluvian hieroglyphics in
ours. Our garments are all marked
in plain figures-as are all goods
throughout our mammoth stores.

methods employed py all our rivals, i
voted down to the interest of foreigners.
And so it is with everything. It is get
ting to be considered as sort of crank
mess to try to serve the country in any
way, and to regard as the highest merit
in public men the shrewdness and abil-
ity to make personal position and money
out of politics. Is it an nfatuation or
is it decline in the character of the
people?
And what is most incomprehensible of
all is to see this nation, after an expen-
diture of blood and treasure for the
preservation of its life, such as no peo-
pie ever made since government was
known, now actually ruled by the men
who tried to destroy it. The policy I
speak of could be only the policy of
such men, but to see it submitted to is
one of the riddles of human history.

SMASHING CALAMITY ARCO-
MENTS.

The chief stock in trade of your
calamity politician is Misrepresentation.
Built on the exceptional conditions of an
"off' year, bis philosophy cannot be
harmonized with the ordinary prosper
GUS conditions of the country. There
fore as soon as the unusually depressed
state of commerce which gives rise to
him has passed. the calamity statesman
must begin to find excuses for his ex-
istence, and he can't do it without
misrepresenting.
He ought not to be too severely
blamed. The first law of existence is
the necessity of self preservation, and a
calamity statesman must preserve him
self the same as anyone else. Hence
we cry pardon for them. They must be
judged leniently. They tell untruths,
not because they love falsehood, but be-
cause it is the stray spar which prom
Uses possible salvation.
But the promise is not to be depended
on. There is an old proverb which
says that lies travel faster than truth,
but experience does not always bear it
out. They may go for time faster,
but they get tired early and are over
taken. Hence your calamity statesman
finds himself under the necessity all the
time of trying to explain some of his
utterances. He is constantly being
tripped up by facts. Senator PETER is
the last to suffer from this unpleasant
experience. The senator is one of those
men who mean we'll and try to be
truthful, but he is mixed on his philoso-
ply just now and facts embarrass him.
The senator tried to make comparison
between the farm ownership of Kansas
and Ohio to help the cause of the third
party in the Sunfower state, and called
upon Superintendent of the Census
Porter to aid him with figures. Porter
sent him the figures and they proved a
boomerang.
PETER did not relish them, but Kansas
farmers will. They show that 81 per
cent of the Kansas farmers own the
farms which they occupy, while only So
per cent of the Ohio farmers own theirs
Taking both town and rural population,
So per cent of Kansas families own
their homes, while only 80 per cent of
all Ohio families own theirs. Incum-
bered Kansas homes have standing
against them an average debt of 1856
each, while against encountered Ohio
homes the average charge is S1,354.
These figures show that Kansas is an
unusually prosperous state, and when
it is remembered how much newer it is
than Ohio, with which comparison is
made, the showing is all the more fiat
tering to the state and all the more
confusing to the calamityites.

POLITICAL HYPOCRISY.
By K. T. Van Horn.

By X. T. Van Horn.
The democratic party is an immense
hypocrite, and there can be no denial of
the fact. Let me prove it: Less than
two years ago the democrats in congress
voted, east and west, practically solid
for free coinage bill-for silver uncon-
ditioned. The republicans passed the
present law, which is the practical free
coinage of the product of American
mines. This the democrats opposed as
insufficient. and went to the country on
free coinage issue. They got 24O out
of 1856 members of the house, and with
their confederate alliance friends 24S;
Yet with clear majority of 16O over
the republicans, with the help of free
coinage republicans, they have failed to
pass free coinage bill. Proof number
one-and conclusive.
Next, the original, pronounced oppo-
nent-with an unbroken official record
on that subject of four years, and the
record of letter written to influence
this congress, is Grover Cleveland-yet
even the men who vote for free coinage
now are doing all they can to make him
president, pledged as he is in advance to
veto the very bill they are voting for.
am reminded of this from the fact that
every democrat from Missouri that voted
at all voted for free coinage; yet Mis-
souri, democrats are doing all they can
to nominate Cleveland, pledged to do all
he can, if elected, to kill free silver
And what is true Of Missouri is true Of
Kansas, Colorado and other silver states
Proof number two-and enough to es-
tablish the charge that the party is an
aggregated hypocrisy.
Why is it that all reform movements
draw their membership in the ratio Of
five to one from the republican party?
Simply because it's educating forces
have made them so-and the whole
party is an advanced force in these pro-
gressive directions. Practical men hold
on to the conditions of practical work.
There are tens of thousands Of republi-
cans to-day better reformers than can
be found in the ranks of any of the
democratic adjuncts-for that is what
both prohibition and the alliance have got
to be. The alliance votes in congress are
as a rule given for ideas and policies
that were born of human slavery, and
survive to-day simply because their for
mer advocates have great tenacity Of life,
and their constituents enormous vitality

APPROPRIATIONS THE .'BILLlON
DOLLAR" CONGRESS.

A carefully prepared analysis by ex'
Speaker Reed of the appropriations Of
the democratic 5Oth and the republican
51st congresses shows up the insincerity
of democratic complaints of the extrava-
gance of the sbillion dollar" congress.
Excluding the appropriations for def
eiencies in both cases, which properly
belong to the preceding biennial terms.
the 50th congress voted $838,O17,972
for the two years of 1889 80 and the 51st
congress voted S948, 800, 725 for the two
years of 1892. The increase was
$40, 1872, 762, while the increase between
the 49th and 50th congresses was $685.
978,813. Over and above what tho dem
ocratic party must admit, by their own
act, to be a natural increase due to the
expansion of the country, the "billion
dollar" congress added $24, 700. 949.
But it appropriated 2SS millions for
pensions as against 1T millions by the
preceding congress, difference of Ill
millions, or more than the total differ
ence between the aggregate appropria-
tions of the two congresses. Excluding
pensions in both cases, the appropria-
lions by the democratic 5Oth congress
exceeded those of the ''billion-dollar"
republican congress by about 5000, 600.
The s'billion dollar congress rests its
case on the duty which the government
owes towards it's old soldiers. Had it
not been for the republican party's sense
of obligation to the veterans, the expen-
ditures voted by the 51st congress would
have been actually less than those of the
democratic congress two years preced-
ing, notwithstanding the growth of the
country in the interim. A comparison
of the work done by the two congresses
is to the great advantage of republican
ism. A new navy has been created, SIX
million dollars contributed to a Gulf
harbor for the west, 40 millions added
to the already large pension appropria-
tons, large improvements made in the
mail service, the swine plague and
pleuro- pneumonia extinguished by an
expensive but invaluable system of in
spection, and great economy effected
to consumers by repeal of duties on
commodities not produced in this coun-
try. The ''billion dollar congress added
glory and reputation to the great
career of the republican party, and the
more it is examined the more creditable
does it appear to the nation.
