'ofn- thorough attempt to obtain tbo z. ana A great deal of testimony hss -ac'S acts taken, but it is mostly of the kind Veea r stops where the trail begins to he froS .aS' The accused parties, and many no. ,Go" cused, were summoned one af,ov ac' other and their pleas of not priI., an' cepted as conclusive proof in fbo S. ac' There is nothing to show that nIa: nrae clews were followed up in a cap.IIf p,Iin and resolute way, or that susnicia| circumstances were pushed to a 5,s nite and satisfactory explanation T4 methods employed to ascertain ,Ls M truth concerning alleged corrup, o a improper proceedings were calcpI.,.s to defeat that purpose by providisN ample opportunity for concealnor, As usual in such investigations T line of action was so adjusted as to f" troduce an abundance of irrelev.., matter and to keep the essential noi,t' out of sight. There is no doubt in tba public mind as to the fact that taN tunes were made by speculators pno, advance information furnished br democratic senators, and that cer,ai1 of those senators were large gainers in the matter; but the committee w,s not looking for such information, an5 so did not find it.
 There are some things of damaciu, kind in the report, however, which could not be suppressed 1t is stated for instance, that Secretary CarIiSs drafted sugar schedule which was favorable to the trust, and that tba schedule finally agreed upon was of the same character. In other words it appears that the administrator, aS represented by Mir. Carlisle, took special interest in the sugar matte, and that it's recommendations were in perfect accord with the wishes of ina trust This does not legally prove that the trust was given the protection and advantage that it desired. or demand. ed, in return for its large contribution to the democratic campaign fund of 1892; but certainly the coincidence raises a strong presumption to that effect. If there was not a bargain of that kind, then the democratic sena. tors. with the approval, if not at the instance of the administration, made the trust a valuable present at the cost of the government and the people as an act of generosity. When the affair is looked at from any point of view it has an ugly aspect. The trust got what it desired, let the explanation be what it may. It is for those who thus favored gigantic and grasping mo- nopoly to convince the country, if they can, that they were actuated by honest and patriotic motives, in spite of the very distinct indications that other and less creditable influences had a controlling effect in the transaction St. Louis Globe e-Democrat.

French knot of yellow, and the leaves and stems are worked with olive green. The only really peculiar fact about the tiny buds that tip each spray. These in place of being worked with blue, as they ordinarily are, were copied direct from nature, and show a faint old pink tint.
 The cover is made with broad hem stitched hem on all four sides. The opening is at the back, and closes with buttons and buttonholes. Stray blos- sons are scattered along the hem and a frill of fine torchon lace completes the whole.
 The embroidered linen should be laundried before the lace is whipped s off.
 But the baises and the pinks shown e upon the pillows in the second illustra- ton are worked upon sheer linen lawn and are used, respectively, over slips of pink and blue silk, which give them a cast of color, but they are of themselves pure, unlimited white.
 The daisies are worked with cream white silk and have shadings of pale green gray. The centers are fine French knots, done with yellow, and the stems, calyxes and leaves are all olive green. The ribbon is blue, of the same shade as the silk slip, and is worked solid with a single thread of 'filoselle. The edge of the cover is finished with fine frill of tho lawn.
 The pinks are all worked in old pink, and the slip is of the same shade. The combination so formed of soft, delicious pink with the tender, pale olive green of the leaves is effective. Like the daisy pillow, it is fnished with frill.
 The pillow which shows rosebuds and is given in the first drawing is made like the first, of fine white linen. O The flowers are tied with pale pink ribbon. It has broad hem cat stitched with pale olive green, like that used for the leaves, and the rib bon is made to twine about in graceful curves.
 All the work Is solid, and all is done with q single thread of filoselle.-N. Y. Recorder.

FIXING THE BLAME.
Who Is Responsible for Delaying TarI
 Legislation.


 Legislation.
 Democratic apologists are having their lines cast in hard places these days. Facts pile up against them with terrible precision and swiftness and each hour of delay in settling for good or ill the great question of tariff legis- lation brings with it an addition of odium and disgrace that has already been laid at their door. As to this more recent delay republican skirts have been kept clear. Since the senate passed its bill no republican has ut- tered more than few words of de- bate, no one has made a single dila- tory motion, no one offered the slight est degree of obstruction. Democratic dissensions, wranglings and recrIm- nations have filleG the hours of con gress. Democratic ronferrees have sat and looked at each other" in the language of the willy senior senator from New York, and all this the coun- try knows, and condemns with bitter words and more potent political reso- lutions.
 The point of special interest in all this is to try to ascertain just where, inside the charmless circle of democ- racy, the responsibility for delay rests. And it must be said, as it is secretly felt in Washington already, that on Grover Clevclasd's shoulders must fall the burden. No sane observer Of affairs can doubt that before that famous letter was written, the senate bill had every advantage of war, and it was question of only few hours when the house would surrender un- conditionally. The white flag was tied to the halyard, when from the white house came that curious com mand to hold the fort. New hopo came to the weary soldiers, the guns were renamed and the war com menced afresh.
 The outlook to-day is doubtful in the extreme. There may be no tarlh Legislation at all. And if all the trouble, and turmoil and attack on American industries comes to naught there can be no doubt that Cleveland can be honestly thanked for what ne has done, however little he intended IO do it.-Boston Traveller.

WOMAN AND HOME,
PILLOWS FOR THE BABY.

Pretty Embroidered Designs on Linen and
 Lnwn-Four Models Alike Suited to the
 Carriage and the Crib-Au of Them Arc
 Fit for tho Nicest Tot That Ever Lived.
 Nothing in all the wide range of needleworll is more popular, or, indeed, better than the cushioned covers, to which there seea,s literally to be no limit.
 There was time when one pillow, or, at least, two pillows, were thought ample for a single couch. But we of the present demand an overwhelming supply and number that runs, say, up into the tens. Even the babies have caught the craze, or their mam- mas have douo so in their name, and the infant of the present has pillows of many sorts.
 The carnage has a goodly supply, and the tiny bed Las it's bit of dainty work on which the wee head rests, and is good enough to require chapter of its own, but for the present we have to do with its pillows only, which

swell the number demanded by the tyrants who rule our hearts and homes.
 No color can ever be so good for in- fants' use as pure, unsullied white. The colored silks and the colored linens that serve admirably well for ma turer folk are out of place in the baby outfit.
 The four models which the illustra- tioas show are alike suited to the car riagc and the crib. They are all filled with the softest down, and any one of them is fit for the best loved infant that this world holds.
 The forget-me-nots, which somehow ulways seem appropriate and always good for the babies pillows and the babies spreads, are worked upon white bosom linen.
 The blossoms themselves are all worked in their own tender blue, but with iloselle of the best unfading dye. Each center is represented by single

Taking Dnun A Noble.

Not long since certain noble peer in Yorkshire who is fond of boasting of his Norman descent thus addressed one of his tenants, who, he thought, was not speaking to him with proper respect:

 And mayhap," replied tbc noble Saxon, nothing dauntcd, they found mine here when they came"

PRETTY RIBBON BAG.
Something Now In tho Way of snug-
 gery for Fan or Lorgnette.

| gery Tor Fan or LorRnette. It is called ribbon bag, because 1t 1. fashioned altogether of the gay frip peries. Whatever the color scheme selected 1t must be carried out in Jus. trous lengths of satin, or moire, oz fancy ribbon.
 In making this cunning conceit, you first decide upon it's length and cut the ribbon accordingly, A good-sized fan may be your guide, and the ribbon is cut trifle longer to allow for draw strings and gathers.
 Any width may be used, but the most graceful bag is formed from ribbon three inches and half wide, and not quite half a yart, long.
 Two lengths of ribbon are required. one for the front and the other for the back of the bag. They are placed to- gether and two of the edges sewed up on the wrong Eide; then the joined pieces are laid out flat and on the wrong side, very delicate pad of bat ting spread upon them, finally overlaid powdering of jasmine, or some other subtle sachet, may be placed upon the batting before the silk is put in post tion.
 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 tho top, sothat quite rufiled edge stands uS revealing glimpses of the silk lining.
 Now tho decorations for the bag, like its foundation, consist of ribbon. This is about m inch wide. It Is ar ranged in bias lines across the front of

The Democratic Party Boss.

In the senate, July 23, MT. Gormah made the following statement: Ia my personal knowledge, after confer ence with his friends, he deliberately and wisely said in the line of all pre-, cedents, of all the declarations he hilu made, of all the declarations that hIS party had ever made, in the exact lne of all legislation from Jefferson down to Grover Cleveland in 1884: we WILL not destroy any industry; we will re- model the tariff; we will give lower duties; we will even the burdens ot tho people, and we will give freer raw ma tcrials-not free raw materials Ihei' it stood.

Summer Table Napery.

Summer tablecloths are, many of them, fetching enough to warrant the extravaganza of purchase now and then. The new, variously-colored linen forms the lovliest tea cloths. Old pink linen, cream, orange, gray blue or Dresden blue, when worked with white linen thread in delicate designs of roses, minosa, arbutus or forget-me-nots, merits the admiration of hostess and guests.

is Mars Inhabited,

The planet Mars is an object of spe-
cial interest this month, as it is nearer
the earth than it has been for many
years. All who see our beautiful
heavens as displayed OF q clear night
will observe a star OF unusual rednes
coming up in the East, and At nine
o'clock p. m. it is about forty degrees
above the horizon From the Lick
Observatory, in California and from
those of England, France. Germany
and Australia, come startling reports
OF remarkable phenomena-strange
flash lights, intended. it may be, to ar
rest the attention OF their less favored
brethren who dwell upon this sister
planet.
Mars has many points in common
with our own planet. The mean dis
lance OF the earth from the sun i.
100000 miles; the mean distance
OF Mars is 142,oOO,OOO Of miles The
year at Mars is nearly two OF our years,
but the day is only thirty-seven min
utes longer than ours. It's axis il
inclined twenty seven degrees, while
the axis Of the earth is inclined twenty
three degree, aud thirty minutes, SC
that the seasons at Mars are very
much the same as ours, only longer
From these facts we are not disposed
to question the possibility or probable
ity that Mars is the home OF rational
beings, may be, being. greatly superio
to ourselves.

tronomer AMI scientist, holds that Z

improved instruments have observes
