varied bat few points in all that time,
then almost invariably through legisIa-
ton. That both metals named together
are indissoluably united in the constitu-

That the debates in Congress show that
the measure was partly ascribed to one

Three feet away her mother worked
upon an apron like that which the
child wore. 1t had square opening
at the top, trimmed with two rutiles
of embroidery, the upper one white
and the lower pink. Underneath
these RIFLES was piece of goods to
which the full apron was sewed; the
hem was laid in three tucks and
edged with a gathered ruffle of the
goods. The apron is buttoned in
the back, and the material was sheer

WHEREAS. 1t was the right and
privilege of every Allianceman to
affiliate with the party that he
deemed best to carry into effect our
principles. And as if is said: "To
err is human, to forgive is divine"
let US therefore exercise mental for
bearance and forgiveness toward
each other; let us bury the past
with all its unpleasantnesS, and take
on renewed life, renewed energy and
renewed determination to battle for
industrial emancipation. Be it
therefore

tempt for their action in comnromis-

but 1t is well enough to look the sit
uation squarely in the face. The
truth is, perhaps it is not exactly
the right thing to do to speak of it
IN a newspapers. Vance has a great
contempt for Mr.. Cleveland's De-
mocracy, and Mr.. Cleveland appears
to be entirely Indifferent to Senator
Vanees operations or wishes. How
1t all VIII end no one can tell, but
there IS well-grounded apprehen-
sion, that "our Zeb' will get badly
left. 1t seems almost certain when
1T is understood that the on
posing candidate is an ssoriginal
Cleveland man," went to Chicago a
Cleveland man, and had the politi-
cal foresightto guess that he would be
nominated. Vance is in state of
big disgust over these probable dis
appointments and he is very meagre
with his compliments in discussing
the administration. He goes to the
White House often enough and thew
all say that he is very urgent in
pressing his candidates, but without
avail. 1t is hard to realize in the
Vance of to-day the Vance that we
all knew so well, not so many years
ago. He is a sadly changed man
almost complete wreck--physically.
II not mentally. vascillation and
peevishness are noted by those who
are thrown with him intimately, but
then it ought to be understood that

pressure that would distract a sound
