Pears
Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.

THEY ARE DESPERATE.

While the Democratic senators are
holding frequent caucusses and conniv-
ing in every manner possible to get away
with few western senatorshlps in hopes
of providing the unwashed with ma jor-
ity in the senate of the SD congress, the
Republicans are in nowise idle, and, hav-
ing everything in their favor on the face
of the returns they will not be at all
backward in standing up for their rights.
1t is piece of the greatest presumption
on the part of the Democracy to under
take to dictate to western states in whose
legislatures Republicans are in the ma jor-
ity as to how they shall cast their vote for
L. S. senators. The Democrats are des-
perate, to be sure; they see their control
Of the next senate fading from sight
like diSsolving view, and they will not
hesitate to steal or buy on every hand
But a very shrewd set Of western Repub-
on guard in Nebraska, Wyoming, North
Dakota and elsewhere For instance, why
should the Democrats hope to secure U.
S. senator from Nebraska when there are
but four Democrats in the Legislature of
that state:
SO also in Kansas they are largely in
the minority, there being but seventeen
Democrats in the Kansas assembly. In
North Dakota the Republicans have
majority of nine on joint ballot, and in
Wyoming five. In Montana the two old
parties are about even, with the Popu-
lists holding the balance of power, while
in California Il similar condition exists.
Therefore the Republicans have decidedly
the best of it, and they will spare no
pains to see that no fraud is INDUCED in
by the hungry Democrats.

ACCORDING to the 18th census bulletin
on mining industries just issued, the
commercial ratio of silver to gold for
each year from 1857 to 1880 is as follows
1t is given as 1874 in 1851 and 1892 in
1873. Between those dates it fell to or
below the latter point as follows In
1915, 1892; in 1913, 1896, in 1888, 1898;
in 1921, 1895; in 1913, 1925; in 1872, l6ll;
in 1909, 1886, and in 1903, 1908. The
ratio fell to 1906 in 1880, and has never
since reached 10. 1t went to its highest
point, 14.14 in 1850. After 1877, the ratio
inevitably sank lower and lower each
year until it was as lew as 22.09 in 1889.

NAVAL PROGRESS.

During the month of August, 1889, an
interesting test was conducted by the
navy department at the Annapolis prov
ing grounds. A number of specimen test
plates were purchased from the Camel
and the Creusot armor plate companies
AMI each sub jected to the fire of six
in III modern American cannon. The En-
elish or Camel plate on the fourth shot
was splintered into atoms, not an inch
remaining on the backing. The French
plate was pierced by our shot but not
shattered. On March 4, 1889, there were
only three modern American war vessels
in commission. AS result of that ex-
pertinent nineteen war ships have been
added to our fleet armored with a plate
capable of resisting a projectie from an
American eight inch gun, which has de-
>veloped the highest penetration and pro-
pulsion of any arm now in the world.
These nineteen vessels are armed with
1853 of these modern cannons, ranging in
calibre from thirteen to four inches. In
a fight with England, for instance. the
rapid fire of our four inch guns would be
expected to demolish thirty-six square
feet of her armor in less than minute,
while our Harvey plate is actually tested
to turn an American eight inch shell, the
best in the world. In the matter of armor,
guns and projectiles we lead the world.
Eighteen ships are now constructing
which will give US feet of thirty vessels,
as fine tts float, thanks to Republican
administration.
