Degradation Of the Senate.

To such depth of degradation has
the senate fallen. It no longer repre-
senrs the people of the United States.
1t no longer represents the various
states OF the union 1t is purely an
industrial body. There are sugar trust
senators, planter senators. silver sena-
tors, coal senators, iron senators,
collar and cuff senators, pottery sena-
tors, etc, and they all stand together.
The result is that legislation has come
to be n sort of compromise between
conflicting interests, agreed to By their
representative in congress There is
no thought of the needs or wishes of
the country at large Party platforms
are openly defled and denounced Po-
litieal principles have no binding force
whatever. business is the only con-
sideration which has any weight with
the men who are intrusted BIZ a con-
fiding people with the law-making
power.-Indianapolis News Gnd.).

words of Mr.. German, told them that
the democratic party was not to de-
stroy industries, that it should place a
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
senators after they had seen the presi-
dent, and. says Mr.. German, I'VE all
said yes, it is dutiable article; it is
to be and must be the cornerstone by
which we will overthrow Mckinley
ism; you shall have it." He further
said that he would have been glad to
get free sugar. but no one had ever
known him to break pledge.
This is straightforward and manly
admission that the democratic candi-
date and organization were bound by
q formal pledge to favor duty on
sugar, and more than that, differ
entail duty for the refners such as the
Mills bill contained. But this state
ment omits ANYTHING about the alleged
reason for that pledge, or any contri-
button by the sugar interest to the
campaign fund. Right there the in
vestigating committee took SO much
care not to get at the truth that the
public is compelled to draw its own in
ference. And now it appears, from
statements made in democratic jour
mails, that the president was willing to
go even further than the senate had
gone in its bill of sale" and to make
the differential duty for refners fifth
instead of an eighth of a cent 1t is
further stated that the latest schedule
is yet retained. but as to phraseology
and detail, the Herald says, the con-
ference committee has the assistance
and cooperation of Secretary Carlisle
and the advisory counsel of the presi-
dent"
II the three senators who were of
the democratic campaign committee
and the candidate who is now presi-
dent all made pledge to the sugar in
terest, and are laboring to carry it out,
how comes the row between them?
Because the president publicly de-
nounced as ''peridy' the bill of sale
which the senators had framed. In
order to carry any bill, duties had
been fixed on coal and iron ore and on
woolens and cottons, and pledges had
been given that all should stand OF fall
together. But the president insists
upon free coal, and declares 1t dis
honor and perfdy to tax raw ma

which 1.-The scandal that has sur
rounded the manipulation of the
sugar schedule will remain as one of
the most disgraceful chapters in the
history of American legislation" The
Herald shows that the main charge to
be investigated, whether legislation
had been promised in return for con-
tributions to the democratic campaign
fund in 1892, 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 men,
bers of the committee point out that
the sugar schedule as it 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-

should not have had so much protec-

FOR THE CHILDREN.
Description OF Some Very Pretty Deaignl
In Late STYLES.


In Late Styles.
Children have such determined way
of growing out of their clothes, and
need so many little gowns to keep them
always suitably dressed, that it ID
sometimes a difficult thing to find a
variety of ways to make and trim them
without spelling the simplicity which
is their charm II it were only the
fashion to dress all children under a
certain age in simple uniform, what
q lot of bother it would save; but the
tendency Is rather in the other direc-
ton, and in many cases they are made
to look more like miniature women than
little girls Elaborate costumes and
expensive materials are not in good
taste, and are sure to take away, rather
than add to, the attractiveness OF
children. Simple muslins, ginghams,
China silks, serges and cashmeres are
the most desirable materials employed
To such of the mothers as make tho
little frocks, few suggestions with
the models may afford some welcome
hints Little girls over eight can
wear linen, flannel and silk shirts
with plain skirts, but they are made
blouse style to hang over the belt, and
have an elastic around the waist. Ths
collar is Eton shape. The silk shirts

How to Repair Floors and Woodwork
Which Are UnsizhtIy.
Your floor has great wide cracks and
rough places. Such floor is better
painted than stained, although it is
more trouble to fix it in the first place.
Large cracks should be filed. and this

up spreads like putty. Mix it up with
o little cold water and it is ready for
use, but mix only little at time, as
it hardeus rapidly. There is yet an
other mixture which you can make
yourselves, and which is excellent
Shred up psper-newspaper or COM
mon wrapping paper-into bits, and
pour boiling water over it. When it is
soft stir into it paste. Drain out the
surplus water and add some glue
about two or three tablespoonful to a
quart of the paste-and fill the cracks
with it, being careful to trim off the
tops smoothly. Otherwise your cracks
will make ridges through the paint
When any of these filings are dry,
your floor is ready for painting. 1t is
best to get the mixed paints that come
prepared for use, or else to get some
kindly painter to mix it for you. Il
takes quite little judgment and ex-
perience to know when paint is of the
right thickness to spread well. Get the
same painter to select your varnish,
for there are many poor varnishes that
will not dry, and you do not want to
get into any such trouble. Dark brown
or red paint make the prettiest floors,
as the tints can be made to look like
black walnut, or cherry, by cautiously
adding lamp-black. Be sure to wear
your oldest clothes when you are paint
ing, and do not scatter your paint,
brushes, and pals around. Keep them

WHOLESOME COOKING.
It Is Essential to the Well-Being of Every
Member of the Household.

Cooking is in reality partial diges-
ton of food previous to its introduce
ton into the stomach. It is employed
by man alone, and distinguishes him
from all other creatures
Many articles used as food are entire
IL indigestible in a raw state. Some Of
the most nourishing of them are actu-
ally harmful if eaten uncooked.
Cooking, to be esteemed science.
must be performed in such way as to
render the raw products of the earth
as easily digested as possibly. By viz
tue of such preparation the system is
supplied with the greatest amount OF
nourishment for the least expenditure
of vital energy in the various processes
of the digestive chemistry.
But good cooking must not only
render food digestible; it must make il
at the same time palatable. Every
physician recognizes the necessity Of
furnishing convalescing patient with
food that tastes good" Indeed, he
will often allow himself to be over
ruled by the wish of the patient for
some particular article of food, in the
hope that the tickle appetite may thus
be stimulated and a steady demand for
food induced.
Cooking at its best, therefore, Is both
scientific and artistic; scientific whenit
best serves the purposes Of economy;
artistic when by virtue Of an added
tastefulness. it stimulates the digestivs
processes to activity.
1t must always be remembered that
the stomach is not a machine, but an
organ extremely sensitive to every
nervous influence, SO that the tasteful
ness of food is direct aid to digestion.
Those, who, from the necessity Of
their occupation, are sedentary and
confined to the house, are more sensi-
tive to the effects of cooking-whols-
some or otherwise-than those whose
employment takes them out of doors
The degree Of health enjoyed by th0
family may often be credited to the in
telligent interest exercised in tho
kitchen in favor of good, wholesome
food. and it is not too much to say
that an accomplished cook may justly
be proud of an art which so closely
affects the health ald well-being Of
