The EnIlet Proof Shield.

The bullet proof cuirass has had a
very brief career, but the invention by
Captain Boynton of a bullet proof shield
for infantry seems destined to better
fate. This caatrivance can be attached
to a rife, while giving that weapon full
play and protecting the soldiers vital
parts. The shields can be locked together
so as to form rampant, q device which
recalls the tactics of the ancient Greeks,
who massed their shields in similar
way. 1t is calculated that, skillfully
used, the new shield would enable in
fantry to Withstand the fire of the ma
chine gun and even to make the work
ing of that deadly implement impossible
1t would supersede rife pits and give
to troops in the square formation pc
culiar advantage. The inventors of guns
will now be put ON their mettle, for
their ascendancy is seriously threatened

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.
North Carolina Mast DO Her Part in
FalfiliinS Them

From the Asheville Citizen.
In order to redeem, all The pledges
of the Chicago platform, it is abso
lntely necessary that the Legislative.
tickets OF North Carolina Democrats
should be elected, for upon their
election hangs the political complex

Some of those pledges have been
redeemed already, among which are
the repeal of the Sherman law, the
repeal Of the Mckinley law and the
Eapeal Of tie force bill. But one
other measure OF prime Importance
remains unsecured, and ttat is the
enactment Of ii law for the relief of
the financial stringency. If the Re
pubiicans get control OF either

will be poweEless to give any relief in
money matters, aud the country vii!

sufficient circulating medium with
which to carry on its business.
While the Mckinley law has been
! repealed, and the Wilson law has
been placed on the statute books in
its stead, thus saving the people at
last 80 per cent, the Democrats do
not mean to stop there in tbs ;r
efforts to reform the tariff. By net

to make all raw materialfree, and to

ACCOMPLISHED by having q larger
majority in the NEXT Senate OF the

past experience has shown that three
recaicitrant Senator'S, were able to
defeat all efforts to bring about these
desirable results. Still, nothingis to

are only a few articles to be affected
by the proposed additional tariff

THE FASHION PLATE.

The black silk petticoat is an ind:s-
pensable factor in the wardrobe of every
well dressed woman.
"A pretty dress for child has spaces
cut into the material, with ribbon or
velvet run through.
Foundation skirts for lace dresses do
not need to be very wide. Indeed many
ladies like them better when they are
narrow. For this reason it is possible to
utilize an old silk skirt that might not
be available under other circumstances.
Trimmings made Of very long strands
of beads are increasing in favor. A
novelty is a girdle of passementerie, with
IS inch strands set around its scallops.
This brings the lower edge in scallops
around the skirt, and the effect is very
pretty.
A handsome imported costume is
made of brocaded satin. There is very
wide single box plat on either side of
the front breadth, and the back is ar
ranged in series of narrow plaits The
skirt is very full at the bottom Of the
back and very narrow at the top; there
fore these plaits are all in pyramid fash

Coca Effects of the wiIson-rariR

From the New York Herald.
Though the Wilson tariff became q
law only on August % it has already
borne much good fruit aud promises
to become soon the most popular
tariff America has ever had.
Republicans predicted dire disas-
ters to follow its enactment, but
their prophecies have been rudely
falsified. Many articles kept at
monstr9n high prices by the Nc
kinley-tariff have been cheapened
decidedly and the cost of living re-
duced by the Wilson tariff.
But 10 business has suffered unless
it be shoddy. One factory, com
PEELED by the new tariff to give up
making shoddy, is making all wool
fabrics. The new and low Wilson
duty on coal benefits all classes, es-
pecially mill owners, incidentally
giving more work to operatives,
| while it's cheapening of fuel greatly
helps many millions of the poor.
Advertisements of merchants are
| everywhere blazing with lower prices
for dress goods, woollen clothing,
shoes, ETC., than were ever known till
the Wilson tariff made wool and
hides free. American Consuls in
France, England and Mexico official
]y report great increase and i'm
provemeLt in their trade with this
| country since August. The good
results will soon appear.
Shall the people now dig their own
graves by voting power to Republi-
| cans bent only on reviving Mex in
leyism aud commercial slavery? Let
the good work of tariff reform go on.

The Mexican Idea of Smallpox.

The ignorant class of Mexicans consider
an outbreak of smallpox in their miserable
novels q visitation of divine wrath for
some sin they have committed. So set are
they in this belief that they will do moth
ing whatever to check the ravages of the
disease except, when it attacks their in
fants, to take the victims in their arms,
press them closely to their breasts and
pray devoutIy and continuously to God to
forgive them for their wickedness. OF
course the smallpox runs its course after
awhile, though never before claiming sew
eral members of every family as victims,
but not until it does are the afflicted par
ents purged of their sins.
