Some Gems of Wisdom Selected From
His Great Speech in Boston.

of independence. that apostle of nom
partisanship, the Boston Herald.

iousr What does it mean9 1t means
that he is victorious over the Demo
cratic party. Fellow-citizens Of Mass
achusetts, at your next election it re-
mains with YOU to complete the vic
tory. 1t is singular fact that the
only praise that can be given a good
act of the Democratic President of the
United States is to initiate him in
being victorious over his own party.
1--WE were called together three long
months ago in extraordinary session
a very extraordinary session. We
had before us, i'll the opinion of the
people of the United States, a simple
task, and that was the repeal of the
law which was frightening the people
of the country, and which, in the
Presidents Judgment, was t he
cause of the financial disasters which
were upon us. The Republican party
with self-denial and honesty of pur-
pose, which, thus far, have found no
imitation outside their own ranks,
voluntarily stepped forward to help
the President to execute what he
deemed to be the will of the people
Their attitude in the lower branch
helped pass the bill by large and
overwhelming vote. Since then the
bill has reposed in the Democratic
Senate 1t is there yet.
The time has been thrown away
When the bill is passed the people
will be surprised at the small help the
Democratic party will give. When 1
think how many strong men are fiat
on their backs, strong houses totter-
ing and credits impaired because of
the popular idea that this bill stood in
way of prosperity, am appalled,.
Il find i'll the same authority (the
HeJaid), in its financial column. where
for peculiar reasons, it must state the
truth, that the difficulty lies deeper
than this one act. II lies in the utter
uncertainty as to the future legisla-
ton Of the country. 1t lies in the
utter distrust of the Democratic party.
The orators predicted what would
happen if the Democrats were placed
in power The Democratic orators
said the millennium would dawn if the
band of robber barons was stricken
down. But there has come since, not
the words of orators, but the great
facts of the universe which you can
not deny or evade. In the cominuni-
ties are men with wages cut down or
sent adrift, covering under the shad-
ow of Democracy. Those tell the
story more eloquently than any ora

The Rural New Yorker las often adj
vocated the burning of bones a. a cheaI
and easy way of reducing them to q
proper condition for use as q fertilizer
There are cases where burning is advis
able chiefly because this is about tbs
only way some farmers can get them int
a fine meal or powder. As between a
whole bone and bone ash. the latter Is
preferable, but if the whole bone could
be crushed or ground into fine meal
without burning it would be worth fai
more for fertiizing.
It is a fact that bone ash is very
slowly soluble as compared with sH.
perphosphate Of fine raw bone. Take
two similar bones-burn one to ashe,
and grind the other 10 fine meal and
then apply heat in the form Of steam
The steamed bone will be twice as valu
able as the bone ash for immediate use
At the same time there are cases where
bone burning is economical because Of
tho great cost of crushing bones witt
ordinary tools.

speaking OF weddings remlnus me of 4
lovely wedding gown which was privi-
legged to see this week. The dress was
of mat white armure, cut with an en-
press skirt with long train, bordered
with puff of tulle. The upper part of
the waist was of white brocade kid in
plaits. There was o bertha effect
wrought by two pieces Of armure with
fine brier stitching, and the caps to the
sleeves were ornanented in the same
way-a long spray of orange blossoms
down the left side of the skirt, falling
from the waist. The hair was dressed
high, with wreath of orange blossoms
around the top, and the veil of tulle, un-
hemmed, was fastened to the front part of
the wreath and left to fall backward
loosely.
This gown is for church wedding,
and the bridesmaids dress is of pale IL
lac satin, with an overdress Of cream
satin open in front and trimmed with
side plated frills of lace. TIE sleeves
are made of satin and frills of lace over
them. The waist and pointed caps are
embroidered with silk in persian colors
and persian patterns. Across the waist
are several strings of amethyst beads. a
straw hat trimmed with close lunches
of lhlacs-white aud purple trim it-and
in front there is Il tiny aigret Of silver;

Every day shows something new in
coats and wraps, and each looks better
and more stylish than the last, perhaps
because it is new. But really some are
SO very neat and elegant that it is no
wonder the women lose their heads.
There are some novelties called skirt
coats, where the skirt is cut in half
circle and sewn to the waist, and this
causes the skirt to fall in multitude Of
graceful folds around the bottom. At
the waist line there are generally two or
three lines Of braid, though in some
cases this is omitted. When one Of these
skirt coats is made of dark blue kersey
and has two or four or even six rows
of fine black silk braid sewn around the
skirt, more on the waist and great
Worth collar also sewn with this braid
and six or eight great bone buttons, it
is thing Of beauty and joy for al the
season.
There are others where the front is cut
sack fashion, with three pockets, and
the back of the skirt in full umbrella
plaits. Nearly all of these have the
Worth collar, which means that the cape
and collar are all in one, and that the
upper part is so arranged as to stand up
faring in the back of the neck or turn
down in collar as is desired. The cape
collar has to be cut in several pieces,
and these are stitched fiat instead of
being pressed, which gives an appear
ance of quilting which is certainly very
handsome. There are others that have
lapels and rundown collars, and these
are bound with braid, but rarely
trimmed in any other way than with the
enormous bone buttons. Some buttons,
however, are covered with black braid,
and some others are made of black cellu.
loid in pattern which resembles braid
so closely as to deceive any one who does
not touch them.
The cape collars to some of these coats
are immensely large and stiff. One OF
brown kersey had the collar covered
with black soutache, set as closely as it
could be and still show q narrow line Of
the brown between the braids. This
caused the collar to set out like stiff
cardboard, but was 80 stylish" Nearly
all have very large gigot sleeves, but
noticed one with a gigot top, having
two plaits laid up the forearm to the
elbow, where the fullness went into the
upper part. This was very handsome.
In jackets, coats and capes dark green,
brown and black are considered the most
stylish. Next come the rich blues,
trimmed with black, and after them the
terra Gotta, red and puppies. Some of the
newest jackets have the back laid in
double fans under big buttons, and others
are finished exactly like mems coats, but
without the back pockets. The military
and box capes increase in richness. Near

another ut theater. Few persons can

The new craze for magpie colors in
bayadere stripes grows apaee, but will, ]
think, be short lived. Nothing can take
away that dazzle and glare that jet
black and pure white lines give. The
bayalere stripes in the rich silks are
really superb. but not pleasing to the
refined eye. They have MORE ground
under the stripes that breaks into beau
tiful lights as the silk is folded. Far
prettier are the exquisite silver gray and
black brocaded satins. These have tiny
figures wrought out, and in some lights
it looks like polished silver and in others
like dull lead, but with richness and
luster beyond anything have ever seen.
There was one beautiful pattern in black
and white that caught my eye. 1t was a
rich white peau de sole ground, with a
slight MORE effect, and there were lines
of black quarter of an inch wide set
half an inch apart, and these lines
looked like narrow velvet ribbon drawn

DISGUSTED WITH DEMOCRACY
Why Leading New England News
paper Deserts the Free Trade Party.

The decentralization of the Demo
Gratis of Massachusetts, has been in
creased by the action Of the Holyoke
Daily Free Press, a standard bearer of
that party, in deserving its ranks and
declaring for Republican principles
and protection to American industries
The Free Press says editorially:
At the head of the column to-day
are found the names of the Republi-
can candidates for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor. They occupy the
same place in the column that the
names of the Democratic candidates
did last year. 1t is with deepest re-
gret that the Free Press acknowl-
edges that it has lost faith in the
Democratic party, and that it firmly
believes that the present industrial
stagnation, financial stringency, and
general distress existing throughout
the land are the result of Democratic
supremacy.
Such a conclusion should not be
reached nor the statement be made
without reasons. One year ago this
country was enjoying a prosperity
such as had never existed before.
There was not an idle mill in Massa-
chusetts. In this city there was not
a waterwheel that was not turning,
not a spindle idle, not loom that
did not send its pleasing hum out on
the breeze. So great was the output
of paper, cotton, wooden, silk and ma
chinery that the railroads kept a dou-
bic force of men at work with extra
locomotives all night as well as all
day handling the enormous output of
manufactured goods that were Icing
shipped to all parts of the known
world
The Democratic party has now had
absolute control of the affairs of the
nation for seven months, and the re-
sult-the most sorrowful time the ma
ton ever saw, business paralyzed in
dustries shut down, wages cut down,
financial panic, such a stringency III
the money market that bank after
bank, business house after business
house has had to close its doors, hun
dreds of thousands out of work.
The present industrial staguation is
without any doubt the result of the
free trade plank that was inserted in
the Democratic National platform Of
1892.
That platform denounced the pro-
tective tariff policy, under which the
nation has grown and developed from
4 a child to a giant, and declared that il
the people entrusted the offices Of the
nation in its hands it would wipe ont
every trace of that policy. The PEG
S pie who voted that ticket did not be
g lieve that the platform would be car
ried out to the letter. They had faitI
in Grover Cleveland and othei
conservative men. But the last few
: months has shown that the President
cannot control his party. and in hi:

not to his own party for support but

manufactures and the foreign made
goods are brought i'll direct coinpeti-
ton with his, he must lower the price
of his commodity. He cannot pay
the present high scale of wages and
compete with foreign goods made by
poorly paid help. The certainty that
the Democrats will make radical
changes in the tariff has been the
principle cause of the shutdown oil
the mills.
