AristOcratic Feet In China.

The possession of the small feet
or golden lilies" as they are called
in Chinese parlance-is a sign OF arts
tocracy. A poor man cannot afford
to have his daughters feet bound. A
woman with compressed feet can
with difficulty earn living. In a
well to do family one daughter, usu-
ally the most prepossessing, is Sc
lected for this dignity. At the age OF
3 years the bandaging begins. The
torture is extreme. but the little girl
is compelled to bear it and is even
punished by her mother for not walk
ing fast. She is forced to take an oc-
casional run. the mother often beat
ing her child to make her run faster.
If allowed to rest, the child's feet
under the bandaging process would
soon become useless. The shoes worn
by the small footed women cannot be
bought in shops. Each foot being dis
torted into distinctive and individ-
ual shape, the shoe must naturally
be made expressly for it.-New York
Tribune

COMMONPLACE.

You say that my love is pla1n.
But that cannot allow

That's written on her brow.
She hasn't flashing eye,
She hasn't we'll cut nose,
But a smile for others pleasures
And fear for others woes.
And yet will own she's plain
Plain to be understood,
For who can doubt that her nature
Is loving and fair and good?
You say that you think her slow:
But how can that be with one
Who's the first to do kindness
Whenever it can De done.
Quick to perceive a want.
Quicker to put it right.
Quickest in overlooking
Injury, wrong and spite?
And yet she is slow indeed.
Slow any praise to claim,
Slow to see wrong in others,
Slow to give careless blame.
Nothing to say for herself"
That is til fault you find.
List to her words to the children,
Gentle aid bright and kind.
List to her words to the sick.
Look at her patient ways.
Every word she utters
Speaks in the speakers praise.
Nothing to say for herself!''
Yet right, most right, you are,
But plenty to say for others.
And that is better by far.
You say she is commonplace"
But there you make a mistake.

For other n,aidens' sake.

She will not be commonplace"

PROSPERITY AND SILVER.


It is laughable to see the desperate
attempts of two or three Republican
sheets in this country to persuade the
pu5lic that the unmistakable signs of
prosperity witnessed throughout the
east are mot much of a shower" of
good things. after all. The Salt Lake
Tribune is one Of the very few papers
that take that disreputable course.
The theory on which they proceed is
that said to be enunciated by Con-
gressman Newlands of Nevada, pro-
rouneed silver advocate. The press
dispatches state that in an interview
with New York World reporter he
said on Saturday:
"I recognize the fact that if business
continues to improve, and it turns out
that the Improvement is permanent,
the silver issue is dead"
This appears to be the fear of those
papers which have made the silver
question so extreme an issue that it has
become a mania with them. If pros
perity continues the silver question
will fade in Importance, they think.
and then what will become Of their one
Idea and perpetual theme?
Now we do not agree with the no.
ton that the revival OF trade. the IN
crease of wages, the starting up of new
industries and the revivication of old
manufactures will sound the doom of
silver. The prosperity they bring serves
TO show that Republican policy was
disastrous and Democratic legislation
and administration are beneficial to
the country. The silver issue will re-
main the same.
But suppose it does not figure with as
much Importance as It would If times
were as duh as before the Democratic
tariff bill, is that any reason why facts
should be denied, or that there should
be reluctance to admit the truth, or
grief because prosperity shines where
disaster was predicted? Shamei
Everybody should rejoice IN the good
times coming, even II they shatter the
theories of the politicians and prove
that silver maniacs went to extremes
in their contentious.
we have faith III the justice and
right OF the silver cause and believe 1t
will ultimately triumph, no matter
what may happen or how much it may
be opposed. And ne view the notion

NOT THE arkINLEY TARIFF.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser declares that "the Republican
party has no idea of putting the Nc
Kinley tariff back on the statute
book" If such is the determination of
the Republican party. it is a very wise
one, and shows that the party has
needed the lesson of the elections of
1890 All the boosted benefits of the
mckinley law were not sufficient to
cause the people to endorse it. Nor
were they such during the time it was
in operation under Mr.. Cleveland's adj
minstra ton. It is strange that this
beneficent, this magic law should have
lost all its power as soon as there was
change of administration, yet such
is the case.
The Commercial Advertiser does not
stand alone in it's views of the course
of the Republican party towards Nc
Kinleyisn. The Boston Journal says,
'the Republican party, when it gains
full control of the government, does
not propose to re-enact the Mckinley
law, for conditions have so changed as
TO make 1t undesirable. CONDITIONS
certainly have changed, and will con-
tinue to change, and each change will
be a further remove from Mckinley
ism.
Should the Republicans get control
of all branches of the government next
year, which is not probable, we shall
not be surprised to see them adopt
line of tariff policy based largely on
the recommendations of the report of
the Tariff commission of 1892. That
report pointed out the very danger of
the evils of excessive protection that
were enacted into law under the name
Of McKinleyism. The Republican
party will not return to it, for, as the
Commercial Advertiser says, the par
ty has no more idea of reviving the
Mckinley act as a whole than it has
of resurrecting the dodo.'

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.

Were it not for the persistence of the
acknowledgements in saying that there is
no revival of industry, that there are
no new enterprises being started. We
should not pay so much attention to
the matter of the return of prosperity.
But their false assertions must be met
with truth and statistics. The Manu-
facturers' Record in it's weekly report
of southern business conditions for the
week ending Saturday, September 7,
1895, says:
THE large falling off in the cotton
crop as compared with last year will
be more than counterbalanced by the
great increase in price which the crop
is bringing compared with last years.
In addition to this the south has raised
a remarkably large corn crop and an
abundant supply of provisions and di-
versified farm products, thus putting
the farmers of the south in better con-
dition than for many years.
Cotton mill interests continue active
and during the week a number of en-
terprises have been reported. The
Union Mills company, now running
$1,000 spindles at Union, S. c.. will build
a new mill, to be equipped with $4,000
spindles and 1900 looms, at an aggre-
gate cost of over half a million dollars.
A New York company is figuring on
the building of a million dollar mill
in the south. A company has been or
ganized at Goldsboro, n. c., with $50, 900
capital, TO purchase and re-eQuip an
old mill. A SIS, 900 company has been
organized at Winnesboro, S. c. A $780,
600 cotton compress company has been
organized in Louisiana and a cylindri-
cal-bale cotton COMPRISING company
in Tennessee"

THE FEDERAL JUDGEsH1P.

when Utah gets to be a state, which
is in the near future" said a Ken
lucky gentleman at the Riggs House,
Governor Caleb West will find his oc-
cupation gone, since all territorial of
ficials will have to step down and out.
II is believed, however, that Governor
West will not be left out in the cold,
and the chances are good that he will
be appointed to a federal judgeship in
the new state. That he stands well
with the administration is attested by
the fact that he was twice appointed
Governor of the territory"
The above is from the Washington
Post of the 18th inst. There are a
number of gentlemen who are appli-
cants for the Federal district judgeship
in Utah, but whose chances are most

When the breeze is soft and balu1y
And the MCDOWELL not too bright,
AS a ride through lonely by-wayS

While your heart is going faster
Than the wheels are on your bike
No, there's nothing to approach 1t,
You may try whate'er you Will;
For the acme of all pleasure,
Yes. it more than fills the bill.
And you feel that there is nothing
In the world that you required
Out the wind you are all out of
To repair busted tire)
How delightful when out wheeling
With your loved one by your side
Is the thought that your companion
Looks upon you as her guide.
That she trusts to you completely
Is a source of constant bliss.
And you swear by all that's sacred
That her faiths not placed amiss.
Yes, there's nothing half so pleasant
AS this quiet evening ride,
When your bike is swiftly gliding
With another at your side.
That your joy has not a blemish,
You have not the slightest doubt,
(Till you find you're both arrested
Just because your lamps are out.J

stitutional provision was adopted as a
guarantee to the other states of the
Union against any such return. That
