Dainty Entertainment.

At buttercup luncheon of recent
date light yellow satin cloth was
spread beneath one of pale-cream lace
Floral mats were formed of buttercups
and most of the lace-covered silk doilies
showed delicate fringe of buttercups
The china was of gold, low gilt-glass
bowls holding buttercup clusters,
while knots of the blossoms finished
the corners of the table. When the
ices were brought on quite hutter of
enthusiasm agitated the fair guests as
they discovered that the frozen, gilt
tinted dainties, in the form of single
large buttercup, rested in gi1ded china
ice glasses, shaped like buttercup
with wide-open petals and having a
green glass stem upon which to stand.
The fayors were clusters of buttercups
placed at each cover.-Chicago Mail.

The Majors Cunning Play for the Ires-
idential Chair.
It is plainly apparent that the friends
of Gov. Mckinley are handling him
with special reference to placing him
in the presidential race for 1896. That
he was laying up treasures for the
political future was evident at the
Minneapolis convention. He made him
self conspicuous figure on that occa-
sion and smilingly went through the
duties of presiding officer while his own
name was among those for whom the
delegates We're voting. His appearance
did not strike the vast audience as in
dicative of any great chagrin, and
while he smilingly went through it
there were those cruel enough to sug-
gest that the programme had been
previously arranged and that he had
schooled himself for the task.
The severe setback encountered by
the g. o. p. did not change the majors
purpose, but somewhat altered his
plans. For months he had nothing to
say and then made a sure thing on a
sympathetic reception of his utterances
by giving them to the two or three
men who own the sentiments and
control the actions of the Ohio
wool growers association. There
he declared for the same tariff
principles which he has always
advocated and which the country
so emphatically repudiated at the last
national election. He did the same
thing at the political banquet recently
held at his home in Canton and elo-

party to stand by it's guns. He is pre-
dieting series of sad calamities for the
present administration and jubilantly
proclaims that the people will again
place the republican party in power.
the wish being father to the thought
because of his own overshadowing per-
sonal interest. Even his recent finan-
cial disasters have been utilized by his
friends as campaign material, and they
have been sounding his praises while
arranging to meet the obligations
which common business sagacity would
never have incurred.
OWith two such conspicuous figures as
Harrison and Mckinley in the field,
the lesser lights may have hard sled
ding, but with Ohio wavering and Indi-
ana in the democratic column, the mi
nority party may conclude to look else
where for presidential timber. 1t would
be downright pleasure for the people
to convince the governor that the coun-
try was in earnest when it declared
against his Ubiquitous tariff theories.

THE FAILURE OF FOSTER.
Chance for Republicans to Repeat Their
Mckinley Donation.

A Chance for Republicans to Repeat Thei,
Mckinley Donation.
Charles Foster, who was secretary OF
the treasury under Benjamin Harri-
son, has failed in business. OF course
he was an expert fnancier or he would
not have had the important portfolio in
the Harrison cabinet which he OBJ
tanned. A resident of Fostoria, he was
early a dry-goods merchant, subse-
quently banker, generally boomer.
Tothe full he was as heartily in favor OF
a protective tariff as the be-all and the
end-all of American prosperity as VIII.
liam Mckinley himself. whom he pre-.
ceded in the governorship of Ohio.
When Mckinley fell by the wayside
as the result of ill-considered in
dorsements of friends republican poll
ticians and we'll wishers came to his
aid and supplied him with funds
wherewith to meet his obligations.
The failure of Charles Foster suggests
that there is likely to be a finan.
cial hospital for republican lame
ducks generally. Charles Fosters
trouble is said to be injudicious

Kinley was but member of congress,

was secretary of the treasury, the very
head and front of republican financing.
Come. gentlemen, to the rescue of Mr..
Foster. just as you came to the rescue
of Mr.. Mckinley. He is equally deserv-
ing of your particular care. He looked
after your interests, making the few
rich at the expense of the many, him
self included and if you supported the
one you must support the other in the
hour of his af1liction. Let us have Fos-

RECIPROCITY TRIED.
Cke Balance of Trade ~ Affected by Re-
publican Measures.

Che Balance of Trade ~ Affected by Re-
| publican Measures.
ExportSof gold and the excess of inn
,orts over exports invite attention to
The degree Of success attending the at
tempt made in the Mckinley bill to
regulate trade balances by reciprocity
arrangements. The need of such ar
engagements was strongly urged by a
reference to the large excess of our inn
ports from South America over our ex-
ports to those countries. Thus, for the
fiscal year 1890, the last before the Nc
kinley bill was passed, we imported
from Brazil merchandise worth $780,
o00, 900, and sold her merchandise worth
SIC, 100000. So the balance of trade to
be settled in gold, as the republicans
were in the habit of stating it, was
s47 100000, though we actually sent to
Brazil in that year only a little more
| than half million dollars in gold and
silver.
The reciprocity section of the Nc
| Kinley bill was intended to correct this
| inequality in our trade-to make our
| exports to South America equal our i'm
ports thence, or. at any rate, to reduce
| the excess of imports. This was the
main object sought, and to accomplish
| it the president was armed with power
| to tax the products of countries that
failed to adapt their tariff laws to what
was supposed to be the interest of our
| trade.
After a trial of reciprocity up to the
close OF the fiscal year 1892, our expert
ence with Brazil, the leading South
American country and the first to agree
to the reciprocity requirement, was as
follows: Our exports to Brazil had in
creased in two years from S12. DOC, 900 to
s14 900, 900. In the same time our i'm
ports had increased from $50, OOO, 900 to
Sis, $3.50, 900. The balance of trade had
increased from SAT, OOO,O 900 to s1O4 ,OOO,-
900. Our net exports of specie in the
same year were about 100000 (nearly
all silver), or very little more than two
years before. This is explained by the
fact that our South American balances
are mostly settled in London.
1t is a luminous commentary on the
republican party's promise to check inn
ports and keep our gold at home, that
when it reluctantly loosed its hold on
power our imports had largely in
creased, our export trade had dwindled,
and our gold was leaving the country
in millions per week. In the fiscal year
1889, toward the close of which Mr.
Harrison became president, we imported
nearly SOS, 900, 900 more specie than we
exported. In the following year the
net imports of specie were SIS, 1000, 900.
In the fiscal year 1891, the net exports
of specie were nearly s73. 900, 900. In the
last fiscal year the excess of exports
was not large, but for the twelve
months ending March 81, 1898, it was
s94, 900.
In the light of these facts it requires
a good deal OF assurance to attribute
the disturbance of business growing
out of exports of gold to the election of
a democratic president. In a general
way it may be said that we have been
losing gold ever since Mr.. Harrison was
inaugurated.-L Courier-Jour-

GOWNS FOR GARDEN PARTIES.
Bright-CoIored Dresses to Wear on the
Lawn.

Bright-Colored Dresses to Wear the
Lawn.
Among the gowns prepared for the
coming summers garden parties and
other outdoor gatherings are some as
simple as if there were no prevailing
mania for furbelows. One, for exam
pie, has full plain skirt of white wool
canvas with fine silk stripe. The
heliotrope silk yoke of the bodice is
covered with cream-colored guipure
lace, which also forms sleeve wings and
full bertha. A long, wide sash of soft
he1iotrope silk is lxnotted at one side
and falls to the edge of the skirt.
One Of the pleasant things about life
in the summer time is that the bright
colors people are now wearing look so
suitab bic and pretty on the grass and
under the trees. A little crepon cos
tune, meant to be SO worn, has two in
sertions of cream-colored guipure in
the gored skirt and jacl1et-shaped
pieces of the same lace upon the COR
sage. Another garden party-dress is
of shot green and white silk with
great deal of deep green-velvet ribbon.
The enormous mutton-leg sleeves are
gathered below the elbow into three
puffs. A darker dress than any of these
is of deep blue bengaline with q chem
isette of white surah and extremely full
sleeve wings of white lace.
Al the old-fashioned striped chine
and changeable silks, which have been
restored to use, seem particularly well
adapted for summer afternoon wear,
