letter from Senator Senn again
advocating the single issue platform.
Much that he says in this letter, in
a general way, is true and very i'm.
portaut. He is in error, however, in
In reference to this question Of a
single issue platform, as he must see
If he will reflect upon the facts. All
the advocates of the single issue
overlook one thing which alone is
fatal to their theory. The Peoples
party, as at present constituted, is
composed of several different classes
of voters. Some believe the money
question to be paramount above all
others in Importance. Some see
nothing in the Omaha platform worth
fighting for but the land plank. This,
though not quite to their liking, is a
recognition of principle which they
hope hereafter to see more explicitly
and satisfactorily stated. Others re-
gard the transportation question as
above everything else. Sill others
look upon the recognition Of the
great principle that public utilities
and all monopolies should be owned
and operated by the public, as the
one thing important. Each of these
classes is allied with the Peoples
party because it embod es in the
platform the one idea which they es-
teem above all others, and the fact
that it contains other ideas which
they recognize as not in conflict with
the one they especially favor, has
very little influence with them one
way or the other. From all of these
classes we have built up a party of
2 million voters. The single-issue
advocates all come from the class
that regards the money question as
the one of greatest Importance, and
they seem to take it for granted that
by the adoption of a platform embody-
ing their one idea the Peoples party
would hold its entire present mem
bership and acquire sufficient add.
tional support from the other parties
to insure immediate success. Here
is where they make their fatal mis-
take. The adoption of such a plat
form would mean the immediate dis
organization Of the present Peoples
party. Only those who regard the
money question as the one of SUI
preme importance would adhere to
it, and whether they know it or not,
they are vastly in the minority at the
present time. All other classes
would Immediately withdraw from
the party. Let US consider one
statement of Mr.. Sem in this con.
nectiOn. He says, referring to the
opposition to the single issue;
Rsformers magnify the Importance Of
their pet measures.
He inadvertently hits the nail
squarely upon the head in this SEN
tence. They do magnify the import

FUSION WITH BIMETALISTS.


because we approve any Of its propo-
sitions, but because we believe IN free
discussion, when it is conducted in a
proper spirit.
We are opposed to the sentiment
Of this letter chiefly for three reasons.
~ II is an open proposition for
direct fusion with another party Or
ganizaton, and that, too, with an Or
ganzAtion without any known follow
ing. In our judgment, we have had
enough of that kind Of politics. We
elected our state ticket in Kansas in
1892 because Of the votes of men who
were not converted to our principles,
but who voted with us for selfish pur.
poses at the time. The responsible
ties of state government were thereby
plaeed in our hands when we had not
the necessary support among the
people TO sustain the officials we had
elected. A vicious and unscrupulous
opposition press was thus enabled
for two years to vilify and defsme Us
in 8 manner which would have been
impossible had the responsibilities of
government remained with the re-
publican party. Besides, our sue
cess was only partial. The republi-
can party has managed all the time
to control one branch Of the legisls-
ture. We have, therefore, been able
to accomplish very little for the
benefit Of the people, and the cal
umnies that have been hesped upon
the party IN consequence OF our tenn
porary success, have only served in
reality to retRrd our permanent
growth. We are not as strong to-day
as we would have been had we never
elected q state official. Meantime
the men who voted with us for their
own selfish purposes in 1892, voted
with the enemy for like purposes in
the late election. The same thing
may be expected in national politics
should we gain temporary success by
means Of votes that are not ours by
right. Such temporary apparent
success would secure us nothing of
value, and would retsrd our perms-
nent growth jnst as it has done in
Kansas.
But aside from all considerations
OF this kind the fusion OF different
political parties is always at the sac
ri6ce Of principle, and DO temporary
success gained by it can ever COM
psnsate for the permanent injury
that a party which has any principles
must suffer from it. No party Of
principle can ever achieve perms-
nent success unless it remains at
all times true to itself, and continues
to MAINTAIN its distinct organization
separate and apart from all other
parties Failing to do so it will lose
its identity, first in one place and
then in another, until it finally dis
appears.

only object in view is SUCCESS upon the
line upon which he has started, and
such success would mean nothing at
all so far as the advancement Of Pop
ulist principles Is concerned. What
has Ex-Governor Osborn in common
with Populists? He is an advocate
of the free coinage of silver, it Is
true, but further than this he does
not agree with Populists even upon
the finance question. This sugges-
tion practically means more of a con-
cession to the old parties than even
the blmetallic party demands. It
means the abandonment even of finan-
cial reform except so far as the free
coinage of silver is concerned, for
party nominees are far more sig
nifcant and Of far greater import
ance than party plstfotms. This fact
is fOrCibly exemplifed in the cage of

In embroidering napery,'if house
keeper delights in color wrought on
white it is good plan to border or
finish the corners with broidcry or
scrolls or flowers of the same color as
the china to be used with it. Thus,
china decorated In red, or blue, or
gold, goes we'll with linen wrought In
the sclfsame color, though it may be
in two or more shades Three corners
of the cloth. napkins and doilies may
be worked in some conveptional de-
sign, and the fourth side filled with
the owners monogram. In this case
the monogram should be nine inches
deep or even more. This involves much
work, and is only possible to amateurs
of leisure. To many minds all white
is only suitable fornapcry, except, per-
haps, on occasion, a pSrti-colored coun-
terpiecc. 1t must be confessed that
his suits taste of chaste order.

woman,s Most Attractive Age.

The most attractive age of woman's
life is the period when she is still
young enough to be pretty and old
enough to be sympathetic, writes Oc-
tave Thanet in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. For us grace is woman's great
est beauty SO sympathy is her greatest
charm. A graceful and sympathetic
woman is bound to be attractive to the
end Of her days. If she adds q taste In
dress and some sense to her equip
ment for pleasing and does not grow
deaf see no reason why she should
not be fascinating in her old age
Since the question, however, concerns
itself only with the most attractive
age of woman must give the answer in
my first sentence. What that age as

ing the water is avoided. The lamps
with which these kettles are fitted are
of varying powers, ranging from eight
to ifty-candle power, the most useful
size, which is generally recommended
for ordinary purposes, being of sixteen
candle power. This size is very service
able and economical In usage, and
capable of affording all the heat which
Is required under ordinary circum-
stances. A lamp of this strength Is
amply sufficient to keep boiling water
hot as long as may be necessary, while
one of fifty-candle power will boil q
pint Of quite cold water In twelve
minutes, while to go to the other ex-
treme one of even eight-candle power
will suffice to keep water hot.

Those of rough wood with largo cher
ries sprinkled over the handle are sold,
but are not bit smart in tone.
The preferable ones are carved In
long slabs that are tipped with silver

the owner may slip her hand in to hold
it better.
A style that fits the woman In the
rough tailor gown is built similarly to
q mans cane, having n broad claw of
wood or burnt ivory tipped with silver
placed at right angles to the handle
proper.
Burnt ivory Is very fashionable still,
especially IL mounted with narrow fill
gree silver bands, and some devices
show an elf's face carved into the ivory,
surmounted by a cap of silver. Very
dressy umbrellas have handles of plain
mother of pearl, fashioned column
like; others have a large amethyst or
emerald laid into the metal at the end.
But women who dress modishly don't
90 in for any of these styles as much as
they do for the rough or scented wood
twisted and turned and capped charity
with silver.
A word as to the care of your UNI
brella. Never put it ferrule down
ward when wet. If you can't open it
and allow 1t to dry at It's best, which is
the correct method, then place 1t ham
die downward, so there is no chance
for the drippings to remain in the tip
and rot the silk. Again, never go out
with your umbrella unrolled when not
in use. 1t is world of saving If the

ing of the smarter appearance 1t makes.

She Picks Up the Scraps.

A ten-year-old girl in Denver makes
a living for herself and her invalid
mother picking up scraps. She was
asked to pick up scraps where sewing
was being done SO much that the idea
entered her head that she could make
money that way, so she canvassed from
house to house until she had suffi-
cient number of patrons to make 81 a
day. When sewing is completed the
room Is left until she comes and picks
up all the scraps before it is swept
For, as is well known to all housekeep-
ers, it is impossible to remove them
with broom without damaging the
carpets, and the work of picking them
up is very irksome to grown person.
The little girl has been at it for several
months now and has more orders than

New Application of Modern Progress to
Drawing Room Uses.
A firm of London silversmiths has
produced an electric tea kettle, which
Is said to have considerable vogue in
London drawing-rooms.
The primary and very appreciable
attraction of the electric kettle is Its
absolute cleanliness. There are, of
course, no fumes of any kind from the
electric light which is used to produce
the heat, and therefore the process Of
using the kettle is absolutely cleanly.
Nor is the simplicity of the new kettle
and its method of use any less admir-
able than its perfect cleanliness. 1t Is
only necessary to attach the cord in
which the electric wires are inclosed to
any connection which may be fitted up
In room for lighting purposes, and
the apparatus is IN working order in
moment. The kettle, which is very
shapely and agreeable production, is
made in such a way that when 1t Is
filed with water and placed upon the
stand in which is the electric lamp 1t can
be tilted up and the water poured from

Handles of gold and silver are chill,

put their real ones aside In disgust and
took to those of wood.

-Four Nice Ways In Which They Can Be
Prepared for the Table.
The French cook who professed to
cook apples in 400 different ways was
not necessarily exaggcrating. Here
are some of the nice things which can
be made
Buttercd Apples.-Pare and core six
nice apples and place them whole in
saucepan with piece of butter the
size of an egg; put a teaspoonful OF su-
gar In each of the holes where the
cores were and stick Glove in each ap-
pie; stew very gently, covering the
saucepan that they may cook tender by
the steam; turn them occasionally,
and when very tender lay them on
glass dish containing half-inch layer
of apple marmaladc; put n cube of red
currant jelly on the top of each, dust
with sugar and cinnamon and serve
very cold.
Compete. is much superior to
apple sauce. Put one-half pound of su-
gar and pint of water in granite
preserving pan, add the thin yellow
rind and juice OF two lemons; boil un-
til the scum rises, remove 1t and add
six apples, pared, cored and quartered.
Simmer until the apples are clear with
out breaking them if possible. 1t will
take about 20 minutes.
Frosted Apples, a dozen ap-
pies with their skins on In the water
containing small piece of alum. Put
them over In cold water and when the
skins will pull off with the fingers re-
move them and dip the apples in melt
ed butter; sprinkle thickly with coarse
granulatcd sugar and bake in q slow
oven. If carefully done they will
sparkle as if frosted. Pile in pyramid
and pass whipped cream with them.
Miroton of Apples. half a dozen
pared, cored and sliced apples with
very little water, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and some powdered cinnamon.
When reduced to pulp spread this
smoothly in a dish. Boil eight Jumps
of cut sugar with tcacupful of water
and the thinly-grated rind Of two
lemons for a few minutes; add butter
the size Of an egg, spoonful Of flour,
the yolks of two eggs and the white Of
one; mix all these well over the fire
and spread over the apples. Whip the
two remaining whites to q stiff froth
and when the custard is cold pile the
whipped whites upon 1t; sift sugar on
the top and set in the oven a moment
