A FREE TRADE PARTY.
The Perversity Manifested by the Demo-
 cratic Senate.

The Perversity Manifested by the Demo- | cratic Senate.
 Day by day it is becoming more and more apparent that the democratic | party is swinging back into the free trade principles it aroused before the rebellion, and which it has so loudly denied for years past The following extracts from the Washington Post show the force of the drift:
 The free trade element in the house is feeling pretty good over the present status of the tariff fight, which is causing them but little discomfort of mind If the senate persists in its spirit of perversity, they say, and the tariff bill fails in conference there is still time to formulate new measure. According to Mir. De Witt Warner (democrat), of New York, they are making converts among the coDserva- tive element of the house, who are daily hearing from the people in the shape of advice to stick to democratic principles and force the senate to come to terms. "The longer the deadlock continues" said MT. Warner, "the more the people of the country will become aroused, and time alone is re- quired to teach the senate that it is hopelessly' in the minority in this fight.
 The house has been nearer to surrender" he said, than it will ever be again Do think that the house will finally triumph? do emphatically. All over the country the county pa. pers-and they represent the people ! are coming out editorially against the position taken by the senate. That body could not have chosen a more in- opportune time to go against the wishes of the great bulk of the demo- cratic masses than the present. It is in no position to maintain fight. But if the bill should fail, why congress is still in session. It might not be good policy for us now to take up new bill or to pass series of bills to revise the tariff. It would seem too much like a desire on our part to add to the com plications, but in my opinion this will be done before tariff reform is aban- doned. When that time comes the oShilC VIII DC SdllSi u pOii IO uSdl "lLh a measure or with measures, as the case may be, that will be far more radical than the Wilson bill.
 Representative Champ Clark (dem. spoke in the same vein. "The Wilson bill did not go far enough to suit most democrats" said Mir. Clark, but we thought when we passed that that we had gone to the limit of concession The action of the senate, if it means to deadlock proceedings, will leave us ample time to pass new bill. There are sevcnty-nine free traders in the house, and it was their work that made the Wilson bill as liberal as it is. I'll tell you what could be done readily-proceed on the Springer plan and instruct the ways and means com mittee to bring in separate bills in the direction of tariff reform. If this pol icy had been followed from the start there would have been none of this wrangling and the Mckinley bill would have been reformed just the same. Something of this sort may happen yet before congress adjourns."

An Editor Insulted.

Editors have to put up with all man. ner of taunts and insults. Not so long ago, at a social gathering, Dallas lady said to young man who is con- nectcd with local paper:
 You ought to belong to a church choir"
 But I can't sing. What put the idea of my belonging to choir into your hcad?"
 70 nothing, except that was read ing the other day that San Francisco church proposes to introduce harp music into the choir, and there is not much difference, you know, between a harp and Tyre, so I thought I'd just make the suggestion. ."-Alex Sweet, in Texas Siftings.

New Way to Fix Photographs.

A frame for your photographs may be made as follows: Cut heavy card board in the shape of panels. Cut square openings in these panels through which your pictures may be seen, and cover the cardboard with a large piece of China silk. This may be cut from the center of each opening toward each corner of the same, drawn to the back of the cardboard and securely pasted or glued down. The pictures may then be arranged, and, lastly, ssecond piece of cardboard fastened on the back of the panel, covering the whole. Water color paper may be substituted for the China silk, and a delicate spray painted upon it if desired.-Ladies' Home Journal.

THE DEMOCRATIC BADGE.
A Solid Plea for the Furtherance oi
 Trust Interests.

A Solid Plea for the Furtherance of
 Trust Interests.
 President Cleveland's appeal for "the genuine democratic badge," in his letter to Chairman Wilson, is all most a mockery of the working men and farmers of the United States, who now more generally than ever before display "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:
 Tt must be admitted that no tarifT 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 to the monopolies and trusts and combines:
 We have in our platform and every way possible declared in favor of the free importa lion 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 to deter mine the tariff policy of the country. The party now has the power"
 He demands that iron and coal be placed on the free list with ''the wool of the farmer" but that lin taxing sugar for proper purposes and within reasonable bounds, whatever else may be said of our action, we are in no danger of running counter to the dem ocratic principles" That is q solid plea for the sugar trust, of which it is charged and generally believed that Grover Cleveland is stockholder! It is plea for free raw materials which most greatly compete with the prod ucts of American labor. It is a plea for 8 tax to protect the most brazen 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 monopolistic manufacturers and the trusts and com pines than he did in behalf of the gov ernment during the war of the re- bellion, but no intelligent person can read his two letters to Chairman Will son, read in the house July 19, and be- iieve that Grover Cleveland is an honest and patriotic American citizen. The object of these letters appears to be mainly desire to increase the pro- ection and profits of the sugar trust monopoly.-IowaS State Register.

National Leaders Who Were In Favor oJ
 a High Tariff.
 Why should I oppose a system which during its time was earnestly sup ported by such true Americans as Lin. coin, Grant, Garfield, Randall, Blaine and others in both political parties2 Why should I overthrow a system of which the revered Washington, speak ing of free people, said in his second annual message:
 And their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactures as tend to render them independent for essential particularly military-supplies."
 He it was, too, who approved the first tariff act, which set forth that:
 Whereas it is necessary for the support of the government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States. and the encouragement and protection of manufactures that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise i'm. ported"
 In that congress there were present when the act was passed fifteen of the thirty-nine signers of the constitution of the United States.
 Jefferson said in 1S16:
 Experience has taught me that manuiac, lures are now as necessary to our independence as to our comfort"
 Madison said:
 There may be some manufactures which be, ing once formed can advance toward perfection without any adventitious aid while others foi want of the fostering hand of government will be unable to go on Ut all
 Gen. Andrew Jackson said:
 "In short, sir, we have been too long subject to the policy of the British merchants. It ig time we should become little more Amer icanized, and instead of feeding the paupera and laborers of Europe, feed our own. or else in a short time, by continuing our present policy. we shall all Dc paupers ourselves"

A Pretty Way to Make Them the Mothers

 ''The little half-worn shoes, stubby and shabby and old" You have seen them on many mothers table close by where she is working, where she can look at them every hour of the day if she wishes; sometimes her gaze seems to pass them, and you know then that the small white feet that once filled those shoes have found fower-lined paths over the mountains in the valley called "Peace."
 There is such a pretty way to make these shoes ones constant companion, says writer in the Washington Star.

This rule is intended for room of not less than 10 or more than II feet in height. For a room under 10 feet high, having frieze say of inches, we will proceed as before with the measure ment of the room, deducting the width of doors and windows. But in this case multiply the remainder by 9 and divide by 15; for this reason, that we can cut five lengths out of a double roll, which placed side by side on the wall cover space feet 6 inches from the ceiling, and instead of multiplying by feet inches we multiply both by 9.

Consumption.

Resolutions In Regard to Prevention of
Consumption.
At the meeting Of the State Board of
Health, in this city, November 9Th, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the secretary being an
executive officer of this board is hereby in
structed and required to exercise every
effort and authority within the scope Of
his power to have the laws relating to the
registration OF clergymen, physicians,
midwives and undertakers strictly
executed.
Rcsolved, That copy of circular No 1 of
this board shall be presented to each of
the newspapers of this State with the re-
quest that in the interest of philanthropy
they publish it or as much of it as they
can afford, that as many people ms possible
may have the benefit of the valuable in
formation it contains.
The more important sections Of the
boards circular No. are as follows:
practically, frem the human source,
we may consider the expectoration (the
sputum) as the only serious danger. The
consumptiye sputum usually contains
an abundance of the infection, the
bacilli, and these microscopic organisms
are found to be capable of retaining
their vitality, and their infectious quali-
ties for a long while, even after the
sputum has been thoroughly dried"
The following important facts should
be familiar to all /. Tuberculosis is an
infectious disease. .. The breath of the
consumptive patient Is not infectious.
8. The sputum is harmless as long as it
remains moist. 4. Tuberculous lnfec-
ton is produced, in the great majority
Of cases, by the inhalation of dried and
pulVerized tuberculous sputum.
II should be impressed upon con-
sumptive patients and other persons
living with them, that the sputum (what
they cough up) is dangerous and must
be properly disposed of.
Spit cups and spittoons should be
emptied and cleansed often with boiling
water and potash soap. When the
house has a drainage system, the con-
tents may be poured down the water
closet or slop.hopper; when it has mot,
they should be buried in ground which
will not be turned up soon.
The floors, woodwork and furniture
of rooms in which consumptive pa.
tents stay should be wiped with a
damp cloth, not busted ia the usual
way.
The patients clothing should be kept
by itself and thoroughly boiled at the
washing.
The patient should be made TO UNDER
stand that in neglecting these measures,
he is imperiling his friends, and at the
same time diminishing very much his
own chances of recovery by reinfecting
himself with the inhalation of his own
