country from war that had success
fully terminated in 1865? You GER
tainly cannot deceive the people by
this specious argument, and if you
would deceive them in this, what
reliance can be placed on your other
statements?
You say ''the civil war was organ
lied by shareholders" It is true
they were charged with the crime,
but what of Wall Street and the no
torious Zach Chandler, who openly
asserted that "a country is not worth
damn without blood-letting," and
Who, through the agency of the civil
war, was elevated from "a man Of
moderate means to the position of a
millionaire; and, Senator, If I am
correctly informed, Zachariah was
not the only loyal northern man
whose wealth was increased to phen-
omenal proportions through this in
formal agency.
You say it is the men whom I de-
nounce as s'Shylocks" who furnished
the means for carrying ON the war.
All, did they? You know it was be-
cause they demanded such extortion-
ate rates Of interest for their money
that the government resorted to the
issuance of it's own money, and you
know that it was this very govern
ment money-the greenback-that
saved the country in the hour of peril.
In your speech at Toledo on the even
ing OF the 18th inst, you expatiated
admirably upon the fact that "all
our money is now as good as gold,"
but in speaking of the greenback you
only parenthetically and stammer-
ingly stated "true, it was deprecated
for time" Why did you not then
and there tell your audience of the
blighting effects of this depreciation
and subsequent appreciation of the
greenback on the wealth producers
Of the country? Why did you pass so
hurriedly over a question of such
vital Importance? Sir, your object
was to deceive the people, and it
would be impossible in the same
length Of time to make more mislead
ing and deceptive statements than
you made on that occasion. 1t is no
wonder that cunningly devised utter
ances choked in your throat. The
most ordinary intelligence, not blind
ed by party prejudice, could easily
detect the gauzy web you had so in
geniously prepared to entrap the un-
wary multitude. But, sir, the multi
tudes are becoming familiar with
your deceptive arguments, and a
righteously indignant people are ris-
ing to hurl from our national temple

shrine and are batering them away

Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the Irvine plant established at Still

county.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the naturalization of the liquor

tion Of president, vice president and

people.
Resolved, That we favor the regu-

i. That as the property of the
wealthy receives, and should receive,
the full protection of the law (Often
more than is accorded to many Of

bear it's full share Of the burdens of
taxation; and we demand that here
after, in the assessment of property
in our city, the property of all real and
personal, be valued and assessed pro-
portionately alike; and that all be
compelled to pay taxes upon such
valuation and assessment; and we
particularly condemn the action OF
our city authorities in improperly re-
batting personal property taxation Of
local corporations.
2. Obedience to, and enforcement
OF law is right. 1t embodies the best
citizenship and the nOblest patriot

Flowers for Hats.

For trimming and identifying hats for
4pring wear there is nothing prettier or
more appropriate than the flowers that
bloom in the spring.
This year the hats or bonnets seem to be
an immense bouquet or very small one,
as the case may be. Even the sailor hat
has its little bunch of violets placed jaunt-
lily at one side. Not a bunch of perfect
flowers. but such ore as you would gath
er from fied-blossoms, buds, long stems.
with only a few of the pretty heart shaped
leaves.
For more dressy hats, wreaths of violets
simply laid round the crown, are TO be en-
couraged this spring; but whatever you
do, avoid sprinkling single violets over
your headgear, as if some untidy angel had
dropped them from midal. The blossom
scattering angel idea may be pretty, but it
is Illogical. Flowers dropped from the
sky don't stick on to hats, and it is pain
full TO think that the blossoms, so seat
tered, had to be carefully stitched on one
by one
Next to violets in popularity are the but
tercups. These upon black, navy blue
or even white hat are exceedingly pretty.
These, too, may be used in wreaths or
punches, as the fancy of the wearer may
suggest.
The primula is another much used flower,
and as they are pale pink and hello
trope they may be worn with almost any
costume.

Fashionable CoIors.

factuiers' orders, brown will rank first
In this line modore, marion, caffeine and
trappiste are the better, writes Emma M.
Hooper in a valuable article on "Colors

Ladies'iH journal. Two bright golden
browns are caffeine and marion; trappiste
is rich shade OF reddish brown, while
tabac and modore are like he tints of an
excellent cigar. Sumatra, ganeuse and
PVgmalion are light golden browns.
Three remarkably handsome golden
copper browns are Siam, Melilla and
Java. The former two are very fash
lonable in Paris. Castor and beige are
the only beige shades worthy of men
