IT is THE SAME OLD PARTY.-The
Danville Register, in speaking of the
movements of the Republicans and ne
groes in that section, says: "They may
call it election reform party or what,
ever else they may, but it is the same
old alignment of the negro against the
white man. The same tactics are be-
ing used now that were used in 1888,
one of the same leaders is in the saddle,
and unless the Democrats get together
and nip his business in the bud Dan
vile will have to weed the same bitter
row she had to traverse in days gone
by"
That is just the short and long of it,
and Democrats who are talking glibly
about ELECTION reform" are simply max
ing themselves parties to the scheme
of the Republicans to disorganize the
Democratic party. If the Democrats
can't reform the election laws all that
they need reform, then there will be no
reform at all, for whoever knew the
Republicans and negroes to reform any
thing at all ?-Lynchburg NeaOs.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APP LICATIONS as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease =
Catarrh is blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years, and is a regular prescrip-
ton. 1t is composed of the best tOnics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous

The missionary fund of the Episcopal
church, as stated at the General Con
vention of that church in Minneapolis
has been robbed of nearly fifty thou
sand dollars. From reliable accounts
if the money had not been stolen here
it would probably have been at the
mission stations. So it is just as well
that the trouble of sending it abroad
was saved. That sum, if wisely distrib
uted at home, would have cheered the
heart of many a poor but honest and
industrious man, and possibly enable
many children to withstand the temp
tations to which abject poverty render
ed them liable.-Aze1. Gazette.

With Western Members, Can Name
Republican Convention City.
Gen. James $. Clarkson, the national
Republican committeeman from Iowa,
met W. ii. Mann, of Ohio, in New York,
and discussed the selection of a time aud
place for the Republican national conven-
ton. 1t turns out that San Francisco is
to make n very sturdy fight for the con-
vert;on. which will be held about June
10. The Golden Gate city has already
from fifteen to twenty votes out of the
fifty-two members of the committee, and
it was said that California could hold
these votes, and eventually, even if it
lost the fight, designate the city where
the convention will be held. San Fran
cisco gave way in 1892, and by the votes
Of California and the far Western States
euchred Chicago and Cincinnati and gave
the convention to Minneapolis. Only
four cities are putting UP fight for the
convention-namely. Pittsburg. e. icago,
ST. Louis and San Francisco. III. Gold

power in determining the result. Gen.

group Of admiring friends who have
come to see him installed. His wife and
children are in the gallery perhaps, and
he tries to look less conscious than he
feels for their sakes.
The older member has much to say to
old friends on the foor-reminiscence
to exchange and regrets to express for
the departed. But the beginning of the
session is an old story to him. Perhaps
he feels a momentary uneasiness about
that committee craftsmanship which was
half promised to him, but he keeps his
own counsel about it. He does not get
furried, because he knows that 1t will
do no good. He has put in all his hard
work In advance of the meeting of the
caucus, and he knows nothing will help
him now.
It is more than likely that the rules
adopted by the House in the Fifty-fourth
Congress will be those prepared under
the supervision of Mr.. Reed when he was
Speaker before.
The Business of Congress-.
There will be 90 lack Of bills and reso-
buttons. For example, the new Congress
will have to consider the question of pro-
viding revenue adequate to the Govern
me0L expenditure 1neu tutTc - the
financial problem. Two important foreign
matters are to be considered again during
this Congress-the Behring Sea award
and the Nicaragua Canal. Mr.. Gresham
agreed with England on a payment Of
S425, 900 to the scalers in Behring Sen,
but the last House refused to accept this
adjustment of the question.
Cuba will also come in for early at
tention, for there is no doubt proposition
to recognize the rebellious natives as
belligerents will be made in both House
and Senate. and the discussion of IL will
give the Republicans more campaign
material.
In home affairs there Is the bankruptcy
bill, which has come so near adoption In
two Congresses, but which still hangs
fire. 1t passed both House and Senate
three years ago, but never got through
conference. In the last Congress 1t
nass~d the House.

bane Of popular prejudice and the law
as we'll, Chicago lardmaker shipped
some lard 'adulterated with cotton
seed oil to Europe. 1t was pronounced
excellent lard. 1t was liked so we'll

To Wash Dishes Properly,

To the woman with whom the love of
cleanliness and daintiness is inherent
the manner In which the ordinary SER
want washes dishes is maddening.
Glass, silver, china, are all crowded,
helter-skelter, into dishpan full Of
warm water, cake Of soap Is next add
ed, and while this swims in the tepid
suds, a greasy dishcloth Is used to
'swab' off each article before it is re-
moved from the pan and placed on the
table to drain.
Dishes to be cleansed properly should
be washed, as 1t were, in courses. Into
perfectly clean pan of scalding water,
to which have been added few drops
Of ammonia, go first the glasses, each
one of which must be dried rapidly
with soft linen cloth. Now the wash
ing powder or the soap, Enclosed in a
shaker, or, lacking this, in deep cup,
goes in the pan, and the silver is washed
each piece being rubbed to a polish
while still hot. Last comes the china.
from which the grease must already
have been rinsed. AS many plates,
etc, cool the suds, boiling water must
be poured in as often as needed. The
secret Of bright and polished table
ware is never to allow dish to drain.
Each bit Of crockery or metal must be
wiped the moment 1t is drawn from the
hot suds. Not one servant in hun
dred will follow this rule, unless con-
stantly reminded by the mistress that
she must do so. The price Of we'll
washed dishes is, like all other dainty
housework, the mistress eternal vigil
lance.-Harper's Bazaar.

Suspicious.

1t Is suspicious circumstance that
the German Kaiser finds 1t necessary
to make so many speeches to his troops,
warning them that they must remain
faithful to him and defend him against
all enemies, domestic or foreign. 1t is
not customary for emperors or kings to
make speeches of this kind. They usu-
ally put implicit confidence in the loyal
