A city youngster who had never
seen the country or breathed any air
but that of the crowded tenement dis
trict took his first excursion into green
fields with 'fresh-air" party during
the time of the full moon. The big
yellow orb had a peculiar attraction
for the little fellow. and night after
night he would sit down on a certain
stone behind the farmhouse where his
party lodged and silently watch it as
IL rose over the trees. The week OF
refreshing was soon over, however,
and the boy went back to his tene-
ment. leaving the country behind him.
a year passed. and again in the sum
mer il happened that the little fellow
came back to the same house for an
other weeks enjoyment. 1t was late
in the afternoon when he arrived.
Supper was eaten. and then he
slipped quietly away and made
straight for the stone in the back
yard. But alas! there was no big yell

boy looked all about. ami finally dis

throat and it will never end until we throw on
the grip"
The voters will send to congress in
1894 and also in 1896 representatives
who will not give way to the trust as
he has done, and who will throw off
the grip he has helped to tighten. 1t
is true that the caucus ordered that
the house proceed at once to pass bills
for the free-listing of sugar, coal, iron
ore and barbed wire. II is not impos-
sible that this may be done before the
house adjourns. But if so it will be
merely firing off blank cartridges.
Those bills never will get through the
senate. Those interests which stood
together to force the adoption of the
senate bill will stand together this
winter. No one imagines that after
the sugar trust has got through a bill
which gives il douceur, or sweetener,
of forty million dollars it will allow
another bill to be put through the sem
ate at the coming session which will
take from it a portion of those illegiti-
mate gains.
The new law will remain unaltered
until the next presidential election
places the republicans in power. Till
that time this senate measure will have
90 stand-a measure which the people
do not want, which Mr.. Cleveland has
denounced, and which is commended
only by the sugar trust, the whisky
trust and by the populists on account
of the income tax provision which the
democrats took from them and put in
their bill.-ChicaQo Tribune

- Naturally enough the first visi-
BILE effect of the passage of a demo-
cratic tariff bill was an increased ac-
tivity in whisky. The gin mills of in
dustry are about to start up again

sE-Of course the sugar trust will
subscribe heavily to the democratic
congressional campaign fund. A re-
publican victory would be terrible
blow to the combine Louis
Globe Democrat.
sE-The tariff bill as it goes to the
president IS said to be full of blunders,
omissions and inaccuracies. That part
of it relating to the duty on sugar,
however, will be found carefully drawn
up and free from clerical errors.-Chi-
cagO tribune.

tribute locally" to the campaign
funds IF the democratic party and to
lobby for eight months in Washington

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

row THEY WORKED 1T.
Democratic Distress over the sTarin-Re-
FORM Abortion.
The house democrats hauled down
their free sugar, free coal and free
ron ore flag. and surrendered to the
senate. They decided by a nearly
unanimous vote that II was useless TO
hold out any longer; that the choice
was between the senate bill and no
bill; and that TO go home with nothing
would be ruinous. Therefore the COM
mittee on rules was requested to re-
port an order at once providing for the
prompt consideration of motion that
the house recede from its non-concur-
renee in the senate amendments. ID
obeyed orders and the amendments
were concurred in and the bill passed.
Thus there is tariff law which, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Clevelapd's letter 20
Chairman Wilson, '.means party per.
fidy and party dishonor." According
TO that high democratic authority mo
tariff measure can accord with demo-
cratic principles and promises or bear
a genuine democratic badge that does
not provide for free raw materials.
But the bill which has passed imposes
duties on coal. iron ore and sugar. Mr..
Cleveland said to Chairman Wilson q
month ago that the democracy de-
manded speedy action on the tariff,
but they demand not less earnestly
that no stress of necessity shall tempt
those they trust to the abandonment
of democratic principles" The house
democrats did yield to the stress of ne
cessity and are going to abandon dem
ocratic principles.
True democrats repudiate the senate
bill, and the people irrespective of
politics cannot be expected to approve
of It, For it does too much good to a
trust and too much harm to them. Mr..
Wilson stated in the caucus that:
''He had been credibly informed and believed
that the sugar trust had. anticipating the en-
actment OF the senate sugar schedule, pur-
chased SIP 900 900 worth OF raw sugar. II this
was true he said, the profits accruing to the
trust from this investment In advance of the
enactment OF the senate schedule would be at
least s4000o00O Mr.. Wilson also pointed out
at length the embarrassment attending the eff
forts TO adjust the coal and iron schedules"
The "stress of necessity" which has
forced Mr.. Wilson and his colleagues
to knuckle down to the trust and give
it $40, 900, 900 will not have any weight
with the voters this coming November.
They will repudiate this new tariff
measure not merely because it is a
surrender to the sugar trust, but also
because it is a wage-cutting, factory
closing measure. Said Mr.. Wilson:
THE great battle is between the American
people and the sugar trust. II is a battle in
which the trust has taken the people by the

Children's Hair.

Children's hair requires more atten-
ton than an adults in the way o
cleaning and washing. The best time
to wash a child's head is on rainy day,
for then they have to stay in the house
and can be easily kept in warm room
until the hair is perfectly dry, so as to
be free from a chance Of taking cold.
The best shampoo is a lather of warm
soft water and pure CASTLE soap. A
little alcohol rubbed into the scalp as
sists the drying. and is good stimu
liant as well for the hair. After wash
ing, the hair should be allowed to dry
thoroughly before touching the comb
or brush to it.-Boston Courier.

Disgrace of the Democracy In the Tariff

The report of Senator Gray's com
mittee on the sugar scandal was pro-
nounced by the New York Herald
embarrassing report" in spite of
which 1.-THE scandal that has sur
rounded the manipulation Of the
sugar schedule will remain as one of
the most disgraceful chapters i'm the
history of American legislation" The
Herald shows that the main charge to
be investigated, whether legislation
had been promised in return for cor
tributions to the democratic campaign
fund in ls92, the committee left with
out satisfactory answer and it did
not even call the men who could have
testified from knowledge. The mem
bers of the campaign committee who
did testify were carefully not asked
this question. The republican mem
bers of the committee point out that
the sugar schedule as il stands is in
the form desired by the sugar trust,
although with the exception of five or
six men at most the senate was unani-
mously of the opinion that the refiners
should not have hal so much protec-
tion.
Senator Germans public declaration
in his great speech on the presidents
letter admitted that duty on sugar
was distinctly promised during the
campaign of 1892 to Senators Gibson
and White. of Louisiana. These sena-
tors had conferred first with the pres
ident, then the candidate who, in the
words of Mr.. German, told them that
the democratic party was not to de-
stroy industries, that it should place
fair duty upon dutiable articles. a rev.
enue duty; that the bill which had met
approval was the Mills bill, and on the
lines of the Mills bill the democratic
party would act" The Mills bill con-
tanned a graduated duty on raw and
an additional protective duty on re-
fined sugar. Then the senator related
that he with Senators Brice and Smith
were of the campaign committee. and
were waited upon by the Louisiana
