POLITICAL DRIFT.

EFriends of the late income tax
will kindly omit flowers - Chicago
Tribune.
1t may be Mr.. Carlisle for presi-
dent in 1896. Any man can lead the
democratic forlorn hope.-Iowa State
Register.
- The greatest need of the country
is more republican prosperity to Offset
democratic deficits-St. Louis Globe
Democrat
Incidentally the United States
supreme court has decided that Secre-
tary Carlisle must revise his estimate
Of that surplus Chicago Tribune
The decision of the supreme
court demonstrated the fact that the
democrats of the Fifty-third congress
were as incompetent to frame an in
come tax as they were to construct
a revenue taritf.-Louisville CONNER
ciaL
Secretary Carlisle collected sew
enty-five thousand dollars income tax
and paid out one hundred thousand
dollars for the collection. 1t is in per-
feet harmony with Mr.. Carlisle's other
financial transactions for Uncle Sam
Chicago Inter Ocean
Now that the income tax has
been wiped out, the administration
officials are intimating that they did
not need it. But the fact remains that
democratic president recommended II
and democratic congress imposed it
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The democratic tariff cut the
duty on woolens cruelty, and dealt
mC-e fairly By the cotton goods The
wages in the latter are rising. In the
wooden mills strike after strike comes,
because, under the competition foreign
imports bring, wages cannot be ad-
vanced.-Philadelph Press
q The general feeling over the de-
feat of the income tax law is similar to
that which the average man feels
when, after a sharp battle with an en-
ragged rattlesnake, he sees the reptile
stretched dead at his feet Mingled
with that feeling in this instance is q
deep contempt for those who urged the
populists on in their efforts to estab-
lish vicious class Legislation, when no

1oP BUREAU DRAWER.
said to Be an Absolute Revelation Of .
Woman's Character.


Harriet HoltCahorn says that a wom-
ans bureau drawer-the top drawer,
that either is or is not q catch-all-re-
veals character more than any of her
possessions. and could almost tell her
fortune by looking into it Is it pot
pourri-gloves, laces, hairpins, frizzes,
collars. letters and hundred other
things? This denotes an uneven, un-
systematized, happy-go-lucky life, one
that fate loves to pursue. The orderly
woman who establishes standard for
people to live up to always keeps this
bureau drawer in order. Her life Is Of
the tranquil kind. The woman who
fills her bureau with boxes possesses an
excess of order that makes life a burden
to the ones who live with her. She Is
conservative and not very adaptable
nor tolerant. While order b the first
lane to Heaven, order does not by any
means produce Heaven. However, the
bureau drawer never poses. You may
profess sentiments that are not yorrs,
and your milliner and dressmaker lend
you a personality which you do not pos
sess, and pose successfully for what you
are not; you can buy correct books and
pose for htterateur by living up to
their bindings In your house and its
furnishings you can buy artistic effect
and harmony of color and grand pic
lures, and even the atmosphere that
belongs with these evidences of culture
will hover about. You can have Louis
Quinze room without knowing why you
have it, and you can buy your coat of
arms and your antiques and your an
cestors, and you may escape the soul of
all that they represent and the world
will be none the wiser. But let the
world have peep in the top drawer of
your dressing table and it will find out
things about your real character of
which it has never dreamed.

MARINE DISASTER.
The Pacific Mall Steamer ColIma Wrecked
and Over $50 Lives Lost.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 3O.-The Pa
cific Mail steamship Colima. with 1872
persons on board, including passen-
gers and crew. foundered off the coast
of Mexico on Monday. Fourteen pas
sengers and five members of the crew
reached Manzanillo, Mex, yesterday,
and gave the first information of the
vessels fate.
The Colima sailed from San Fran
cisco May Is for Panama and way
ports with liz passengers. forty in the
cabin and thirty-six whites and forty
six Chinese in the steerage. The off,
GERS and crew numbered 20.
Later Details.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.--As further
particulars are being received concern
ing the Colima disaster, the outlook
for the passengers and crew not al
ready reported saved is very poor. The
Pacific Mail, shortly before 9 o'clock
last night, received the following
from its agent at Manzanillo: Co
lima foundered, going down astern,
sinking entirely in ten minutes No
strong wind, only heavy swell. The
same swell caught Mexican schoon-
ers Josefnna, Albinna and American
schooner Hayes. Captains of these
schooners report swells only, entering
here for safety" A later dispatch
reads: "Colima sunk in 100 fathoms.
Steamer we sent last night found
nobody alive. Three cabin passengers
and two sailors got ashore at Coahua-
yana alive. Until now twenty-six per-
sons saved"
The Pacific Mail officials now admit
that there is hardly any chance of
other passengers being saved The
fact that the steamer sank in ten min
utes would indicate that only a few OF
the people on board the steamship got
away. At 10 o'clock last night the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co. received
the following telegram from its
agent at Manzanillo: Having received
news that the people can be saved near
the mouth of river so miles south of
here, steamer has been sent with per-
sonnet of this agency. Will write fur
Their particulars. The Colima cannot
be afloat again. She is total loss"
A telegram from Colima, Mex. re-
ported that a special messenger had
arrived there from Manzanillo yester-
day with official information for the
governor of Colima regarding the
Colima steamship disaster off Marzau-
lilo, and made it practically certain
that l62 lives were lost when the vessel
went down as was feared Wednesday.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
a Substantial Increase In the Commercial
Demand ReDorted.

Demand Reported
NEW YORK. June L-R g. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade says: More
far-reaching than any other change
during the past week. If really war
ranted by facts, is the continued rise in
prices of wheat and cotton. Real scar
city of either would affect all business
Happily, there is still room to hope that
accounts of injury are greatly exagger-
ated, although there has been some evi-
dence during the week that both the
great crops have suffered more than at
first appeared. Other changes are
almost all favorable and some
highly encouraging, labor troubles are
clearly less threatening. monetary
conditions are satisfactory, and the
substantial increase in the commercial
demand is a good sign. Exchanges
through the clearing houses have been
greatly inflated By speculation. and at
this time last year were cut down by the
coal strike, and toward the end of May,
1898, greatly reduced by bank failsres,
but for the week exceed last years by
10 per cent, and fall only so per cent
below those of 1895, while the daily
average for May is 300 per cent larger
than last year, but =. less than in 1893
Wheatis largely supported by public
buying, and the purchasing orders
from farming regions are supposed to
indicate an opinion of the yield Yet
wheat comes forward freely, as it
would not at current prices if short
crop were assured, and western re-
ceipts for the month have been 5,944,-
574 bushels, against 5,525, 25s last year
Nor do Atlantic exports reflect in
creased haste to buy abroad, amount
ing in four weeks flour included to
6, 1S3, 400 bushels, against 9.716.O97 last
year.
The failures during he past week
have been 2i5, against iS3 last year.

INTRODUCE HEM.
Boys and Girls Should Be Presented
Formally to Adult Visitors

Boys and Girls Should Be Presented
Formally to Adult Visitors
It is common oversight in too many
households not to introduce the chill
dren to visitors. Guests are formally
presented to the adult members of the
family, but the younger boys and girls
are either ignored altogether, or else
introduced in general way without
giving their individual names. This
course is almost certain to result IN
awkwardness and constraint on their
part when grown. There is differ
enee between putting children forward
unduly and giving them their just need
OF recognition. And pray take pains,
in making introductions, to speak the
names distinctly, and, above all things
else, do not omit their mention How
many of Us have been annoyed TO have
hostess greet an intimate friend, to
whom we were entire strangers, with
some such salutation as: 20 Henry, so
pleased to have you meet Miss Blank,
leaving US TO discover his surname as
best we may. Il Is not bad plan for
the family TO rehearse by themselves

THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.
Industrial Prosperity Not Attributable to

Business is reviving all over the coun-

body is feeling better-the producer,

artisan, the capitalist
What causes the 'boom?-

Business IS improving because, first,
the productive forces Of the country can
not be kept down, and, second. for the
reason that, as result OF the elections
last November, public confidence has
been restored Hostile tariff legisla-
ton is impossible. Business men know
the worst. and they feel that when
republican president IS inaugurated on
March /. 1897, every fiscal enactment
which gives foreigners undue advan-
tage in our markets will be stricken
from the statute books.
Times are improving not because of
democratic administration. but in
