You are instantly to enter the old mill

the lady you will meet there, bearing
in mind only this, that a woman has
not mans sense of time, and you will
be missed and inquired for some time

Any width may be used, but the most
graceful bag is formed from ribbon
three inches and half wide, and not
quite half yard long
Two lengths Of ribbon are required,
one for the front and the other for the
back Of the bag. They are placed to-

ON the wrong side; then the joined
pieces are laid out fat and on the
wrong side, a very delicate pad of bat

batting before the silk is put IN posi-

When batting and silk are arranged,
fold over the whole thing and stitch
up on the wrong side the two unsewed
edges of the bag. After the bottom
has been secured, turn the bag over to
the right side. A draw-string run
with narrow ribbons is given the top,
so that quite rufied edge stands up,
revealing glimpses of the silk lining.
Now the decorations for the bag,
like its foundation, consist of ribbon.

IN DANGER OF DESTRUCTION.
The Democratic Party on the Point of
Going to Pieces.

The Democratic Party on the Point of
Going to Pieces.
In the national congress to-day the
leading topic of discussion is how to
save the democratic party. Every
statement made by Mr.. Cleveland in
his letter to Mr.. Wilson rings with the
necessity of saving democratic honor.
democratic pledges, democratic pros
poets. Nothing is said about the pros
perity of the country, the prosperity of
business men, or the prosperity of
any particular class of people. but the
one and only leading thought is how
to save the democratic party.
The fight between democratic lead
ers seems now to be for the purpose Of
fastening upon each other response
bility for the defeat of all democratic
promises. The party having failed OF
keep its pledges to the people, and
finding itself now defeated. the con-
flict between the leaders as to who
shall suffer.
1t is hard to see how an agreement
can be brought about. After calling
each other towards in high places v
and charging ''perfdy and dishonor'
upon those charged with responsible
leadership, it seems to be fight to the
death Shall Cleveland triumph; shall
the senators succeed; or are the mem
bers of the lower house to be the vic
tors? Somebody must be the victim
1t appears now very plain that the
whole party must go down together.
Senator German has done much to-
ward clearing away the mist and cob
webs that have hindered the people
from having a full understanding of
democratic methods and democratic
promises, but in the future the people
will be better prepared to understand
how to read between the lines when
democrats go upon record as to what
is the true meaning of their words
The house framed a tariff bill to suit
the house; the senate changed this bill
to suit the senate; and now the presi-
dent attempts to have it changed to
suit himself The people are saying,
Let the Mckinley bill stand: it is
better than anything the democrats
have offered or proposed mp to date"
There is no calamity so great to the
American people as the results of the
mistake of party leaders in neglecting
TO legislate in the interest of trade and
commerce as being against party
power. The people now demand that
business be restored Two years of
waiting and uncertainty have brought
about spirit in the minds of thinking
people that can no longer be quieted-
They mean to dethrone and turn from
power everywhere, all forms of demo-
cratic rule, unless peace is at once re-
stored

THE BADGE OF DEMOCRACY.
A Solid Plea for the Furtherance OF
Trust Interests.

IEust lntcre8I8.
President C1eveland's appeal for
''the genuine democratic badge" in
his letter to Chairman Wilson, is al
most a mockery of the working men
and farmers of the United States, who
now more generally than ever before
display 1.-The genuine democratic
badge" every time they remove their
coats, or the wind blows their coat
tails awry. Here is the sentence In
the letter to Chairman Wilson in which
he appeals for the continuation OF
''the genuine democratic badge" upon
the seat of the trousers of every farmer.
coal and iron miner, and laboring man
in the north:
1T must be admitted that no tsrir measure
can accord with democratic principles or prom
ises and bear the genuine democratic badge
that does not provide for free raw materials
That sentence was preceded by the
following assertion of the pledges
made by the democratic bosses 10 tho
monopolies and trusts and combines:
We have In our platform and every vsy
possible declared In favor Of the free imports
zion OF raw materials. We again and again
promised this should be accorded our people
and our manufacturers as soon as the demo
cratic party was invested with power 70 deter
mine the tariff policy Of the country. TIE
party now has the power
de demands that iron and coal bo
placed on the free list with 1.-The wood
of the farmer" but that ''in taxing
sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds, whatever else may
be said of our action, we are in nos
danger of running counter to the DEM
ocratic principles" That is a solid
plea for the sugar trust, of which 1t In
charged and generally believed that
Grover Cleveland is stakeholder. Il
is plea for free raw materials which
most greatly compete with the prod
ucts of American labor. It is q plea
for a tax to protect the most brazcn
monopoly that manufactures foreign
practically non-competing raw ma
terial within the United States. The
president has shown greatly more
courage in behalf of the monopolistia
manufacturers and the trusts and COM
bines than he did in behalf of the gov
eminent during the war of the re-
bellion, but no intelligent person can
read his two letters to Chairman Wiz
son, read in the house July 10. and be-
iieve that Grover Cleveland Is an
honest and patriotic American citizen
The object of these letters appears -
be mainly desire to increase the prs-
eetion and profits of the sugar trusk
monopoly.-Iowa State Register.
EThe chief cause which has op-
Grated to reduce the wages of tho
working people of the United States
is the new tariff law. which is now the
source of so much contention in con-
gress- Looking at it from every
standpoint, eFery declaration made
confirms the opinion expressed that
wages must still be reduced below
what they have been during the past
six months under the stress of fnan-~
cial panic The working people seem
not to realize this, out believe that by
closing up their organizations theY
can maintain the wage rate of isS2-.
