REVENUE FROM SUGAR.
Another disappointment in the Demo
cratic Tariff Law.

Another Disappointment in the Demo
cratic Tariff Law.
Every new development of the tariff
law seems to add to the disappoint-
ment of its workings. II now appears
that the May importations of sugar,
while heavier than in any month since
the new law went into effect, show
that the expectation of forty millions
of revenue per annum from sugar Is
not going to be realized. Instead, 10
now looks as though it would not BE-
over twenty-five millions The May
importations were 30,697, 500 pounds,
valued at a trifle over SO, O00, 900, and
paying duty of about 80, 800, 900. This
is more than one-eighth the total for
eign sugar consumption of the country.
The importation of foreign sugars
during the last four years have aver
aged about 3,s5O, 900, 900 pounds per an
mum. Even if the importations of the
coming year run up to 1000, OOO, 900
pounds, which is not at all likely, the
receipts from the duty thereon would
be little over s25, OOO, 900, since sugar il
still very low in price, and the ad va
loren duty correspondingly low. It i
quite probable that the June imports.
however, will be nearly as great -
those of May, since June has of late
been nearly as good a month for i'm
portations as May, while the small i'm
ports during March and April viii
probably increase somewhat those of
June, as they did those of May.
The discovery that, while the May
importations of this revenue article"
were nearly so per cent. greater than
last month, the customs receipts in
May are so much below the average
OF the past five months discouragea
those who had still chung to the hope
that the new tariff law would accom-
plish something when it really got un-
der Roadway. wait till the sugar
duties begin to roll in" they were ae-
customed to say. The sugar duties ara
rolling in" at rate far above the
average that can possibly be main
tanned for the year, and yet the Gus
toms receipts for May are less than in
any month, save one, since the new
tariff law came fully into operation
The customs duties collected in May
were only s12, 474,5 5s, against over IT,
900, 900 in January, and nearly Is, 900. 600
in March. Yet the sugar "rolled in" IN
May as it has not done in any month
in the history of the country, save
those two months of last year when the
sugar trust was filling the warehouses
of the country in order to avoid pay
ment of duty on as great quantities IA

FANCY TABLE LINENS.

Every Article Needed Is Made o Work OF
Art Nowadays.
A woman does not realize what fasci-
nation there is in fancy work until she
begins to make it. The particular
branch of 1t included in linens has been
improved until every little article need
ed in the home may become work of
art Not only dolies, tray cloths, CEN
ter-pieces. etc, but tablecloths and nap
kins are among the things that are
beautified by needlework. But this
article will relate only to fancy work
of the dolly type.
Embroidery is the proper thing now
for such articles. The designs are flow
ers, fruit, vines, leaves, or, if quite ad-
vanced in the art, classic designs. But
the simpler ideas are more practical for
our purpose.
The woman in the country has great
advantage over her city sister in the way
of getting beautiful and at the same
time natural patterns from which to
work. And with a pattern from which
to draw, she may make designs on the

than those purchased ready stamped.
As to the kind of linen to use, for a
piece that is to be hemstitched get
butchers linen. For center-pieces and
doiles satin damask is best. The linen
may be purchased by the yard. After
making the articles the size wanted, al
lowing for the hemstitch, it is ready for
the design. Take the picture of the
flower, leaf, or whatever it is desired to
draw; then place sheet of transfer
paper on the linen, lay the pattern
over that, and with pencil or crochet
hook trace around pattern. Upon lift
ing the paper from linen the design will
be there, clearly stamped in delicate
lines, ready for the needle. An ingeni-
Gus woman will evolve many original
designs from her patterns by using
them in combination.
The latest idea for square pieces is to
buttonhole stitch the goods about one
inch from the edge all the way around,
and then to fringe out the edge to the
stitching. A pretty centerpiece of that
style is shown in cut. Other pieces are
brttonhole stitched around scalloped
edge. A pretty idea for making small

ABOUT BAD TEMPER.
Very Often It Is Accompanied by Many

Very Often It Is Accompanied by Many
Sterling Qualities.
1t may sound paradoxical to say. so,
but it is true, that the best people
sometimes have the worst tempers- In
the same way, saints are often those
who have overcome the most sin Per-
sons who feel deeply, whose sensibil-
tiles are keen and strong, rarely find it
easy to maintain a uniform placid ex-
terror, and the struggle between their
passions and their calmer wisdom *
often terrific one. There are oth.Ts
who never seem to be troubled-who
are amiable with an amiability that
it seems impossible to rufie-who
never show any signs of irritation, but
are always equable and cheerful. Such
persons are doubtless much to be ad-
mired, but their society becomes in
time not only exceedingly monotonous,
but even exceedingly aggravating. Try
as we will, we cannot get them to show
fire. They are devoid of enthusiasm, as
they are incapable of anger. Moth
ing disturbs that serene stiffness,
which is certainly not the still
ness of death. A hearty quarrel
is an impossibility. Whatever we
may do or say, they never get cross
with us, or call us Objectionable names.
All this is undeniably irritating. 1t is
quite refreshing to pass from the COM
pany of one of these to a warm, full
blooded individual of susceptible pas
sions. 1t is a treat to feel that the hand
which grasps ours could, if need be,
strike hard. 1t may sound very pagan
ish to say so, but we do love a little
spice of human nature. Sturdy truth
and faithfulness generally lie behind
come capability of honest anger. We
know that those friends who often
seem most cross and irritable are really
Our stanchest and most reliable. Not
that bad temper in itself can ever be
an admirable thing, but that it is often
accompanied by very sterling qualities.
1t generally coexists with strength of
character and independence of spirit.

THE TARIFF AND PENSIONS

Perfect Performance of Republican ProkA-

When the war was over the republic

First of all, it declared it's purpose 70

ed during or since the war, that the
public faith should be unblemished-
This promise has been performed. In
spite of all temptation and the shrieks
of populists, we have discharged every
obligation contracted during the war,
and especially the highest and most
sacred debt to the surviving soldiers of
the war, their widows and orphans
The pension roll is roll of nonor,
higher in amount than any pension
roll ever before provided by any nation
While the republican party is in power
it will only be diminished by the death
of pensioners-afa fate that awaits US all
We are in favor of a protective
tariff. We had such tariff. While it
was in force we had prosperity, good
times and money plenty. We had so
diversified our domestic industries that
American labor and American capital
supplied nearly all the wants Of the
American people. We prefer to tax
foreign production rather than our
own We believe that the policy Of
protection should be extended to all
productions impartially, to labor on
the farm as well as in the workshop.
We are opposed to the democratiG>
policy of protecting wooden manufsc-
turers and admitting wool free Of dutis, !.
We denoune5 scheme Of taxation
which annually increases the public
debt more than fifty million dollars
This is the result Of demeerstie AZ
cendancy. The tariff law Of the last
congress IS partly a copy of the Nc.
Kinley law and generally failure.
All that is good of it is confessedly
hodge podge. The supreme court has al
ready disposed of part of it. All the
of the south, from pea
nuts to whisky, are carefully protected,
while the duties on the great staple
industries Of the north are largely re-
duced, and on some articles entirely
repealed. We demand q reform in the
tariff, not TO promote sectional inter,
ssts. but TO secure ample revenue and
impartial protection to domestic i'm
1ustries. This we can have only BY

COMMENT AND OPINION.

e Mr.. Wilson says the new tariff Ia
doing very WELL" but the statistics
with regard to its operation tell a diff
ferent story.-St Louis GIobe-Dem-
ocrat-
The Wilson tariff thinkers and
the democratic administration can see
the answer to all their promises in the
fact that the balance of trade against
US this year sums up Ss4, 100000 II il;
not a pleasant fact for the pipe of
democracy to smoke. The chances are
that the presidents pet millionaire
bankers in London will get another'
whack at our bonds before October.
No American need apply. The people
were sold out to English capitalists for
the entire fiscal year.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
H Missouri has bonded debt a
nearly 5000, 900, as result of the long
years of democratic misrule of thaA
state. A portion of the principal will
be paid this month, but beginning with
july 1 she will still have a bonded
debt of IS, 4s9, 900, about e-thirteenthI
of which bears 8 per cent. interest and
the remainder about 81 per cent
Still Missouri has little to show for her
heavy bonded indebtedness; her stata
institutions do not begin to compare
with Iowa and her taxes have been
steadily higher than in this state. She
has suffered just as the nation is now
suffering, from incompetent and igno-
rant rule. There is a great lesson in
comparing Iowa with Missouri, and tie

English walnuts, or the two nuts mixed.
Pour on fat dish and sprinkle with
whole almonds. If you wish TO be very

doilies is to make large leaf or flow
err, pansy, for instance, and draw the
patteBn on linen. Then buttonhole
stitch around the edges, and cut out
close to stitching. This leaves a per-
feet pansy shape, stitched in pansy col
ors, and dolly large enough for pep
per and salt cellars. A lovely one seen
recently was an oak leaf worked in the
shades of an autumn leaf. One fourth
yard of satin damask (cost twenty-five
cents will make four of these.
A hemstitched lunch cloth with pink
roses embroidered around inside of
stitching is very dainty. A large hem
stitched tray cloth had marguerites
embroidered in opposite corners which
looked almost as natural as their living
sisters.
There is no check to the imagination
in doing this dainty fancy work, but
the variety now shown by the large
stores would almost lead one to think
that there was nothing LEFT to be
thought of.-Prairie Farmer.

Mountain Goat. Ar, s,n,,a

Although the mountain goat is a very
sure-footed and level-headed animal,
he is said by those who have hunted
him (of whom 1 confess 1 am not one)
to be very stupid animal and easily
killed when once the hunter reaches
his haunts. In actual weight he is
about the size of the Virginia deer, but
in bulk he seems to be larger because
Of his shaggy fleece of wool and hair.
The horns are small, smooth and Jet
black, and the hoof is a strange COM
bination of rubber pad on the inside
and knife-edge on the outside, to hold
the owner on snow, ice, or bare rock
without slipping.-W. T. Hornaday, in

The construction is quite simple. An
Idea of the shape may be formed from

back and front, are pinned to the cloth

kept in place. Cast on sixty stitches
