THE CROSS OE SILYER.

Little is said publicly by the advo- cates of free silver about their most powerful argument, but privately they are talking it for all it is worth. This argument is that free silver will enable those who are debtors to pay their debts in money that will defraud the creditors of about half of what is justly due them. Of course this argument is based oh dishonesty, but some people don't mind little thing like that. And they are willing to see bloated credit ors crucified on cross of silver.
 Many of the dear people whom the Boy Orator loves and doesn't want to see crucified on cross of gold are debtors. Some of those who are debt ors are not dishonest But many of the beloved people are also creditors. American banks, trust companies, sav- ings associations. building and loan so- cieties and similar institutions owe the people $5,33S,13S,521, most of this vast sum representing money actually de- posted by their creditors. These cred itors insist that when this money is re- paid it shall be in currency worth just as much on the dollar as the money they paid in. Free silver would mean that they would be repaid in money worth only half as much as they had deposited.
 It will be we'll for all the beloved peo- pie who have savings bank books. in- surance policies, building and loan shares, etc. to look out that they are not crucified on cross of silver.

of cases. that disaster has marked the whole movement. The fact that the Salvation Army does not observe the ordinance of baptism or the Lords Sup per tends to free it's members from persecution. They do not break caste, and can remain in good standing in their old Hinduism. The direct tend ency of this Is to encourage half-heart- edness and insincerity. We do not like to say these things, but we fell con strained to say them lest, in view Of the claims made as to the work of the army in India, our friends should be led to distrust the methods and work of our faithful missionaries, who are lay ing foundations deep and strong in a Christian training, on which alone permanent structure can be built.

the country five weeks out of six as the paid champion of the bimetallic league, Editor Rosewater says fur ther: AS politician, Bryan has dis played no organizing ability. He is a good stump speaker and an effective campaigner, but that is all. If he has any executive capacity 1t has not yet manifested itself. He has never held any executive position, and has never had an opportunity to exercise any faculty he may possibly possess in that direction. The best business men of Omaha, regardless of party, look upon him as a man of immature judgment, who would constitute an extra hazar- dous risk as head of the national gov- ernment.

Russia and Egypt.

To understand the origin and aim of the scheme for the settlement of the Egyptian question which Russian di- plomacy is about to propose it is neces- sary to realize the meaning of the Franco Russian alliance, which at first sight seems so anomalous. An ob- servation humiliating for human sa- gacity may be promised. Prince Bis marck always regarded the mainte- nance of the republic in France as Ger many's security because republic in the center of monarchical Europe could find no ally. He shrank, therefore, from nothing in order to maintain this principle, and did not hesitate to saeri- flee one of the most brilliant of Germa- ny's statesmen, Count Arnim. Yet this republic, which was to find no mo- narchical ally, has foun the most mo- narchical ally onceivable-namely, the Russian autocrat
 It has done this by the force of cir cumstances, and close scrutiny shows it to have been logical The isolation in which France was placed was prei- judicial to her. In view of the forces grouped around her. of the Triple Ali

PArR1orIsM 70 THE FRONT.

We have reached point in our his tory when all men who love their coun- try must united to defeat by their bal lots the forces which now assail the country's honor The war has been over thirty-two years and as a result we have reunited country, union stronger and freer, a civilization higher and nobler, a flag brighter and more enduring, a flag dearer and more sac red than ever before--and all of them safe from any enemy, because the men who a third of a century ago fought in deadly conflict unite in their masterful might to oppose any enemy who would assail either freedom of union or flag. The struggle which is upon us involv- ing national good faith and honor, will enlist their united and earnest services until those who are arrayed against the public faith shall be routed and dispers-

 So said Major Mckinley to his com rades of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie at Canton. It is all true and the
 managers of the Republican campaign can find in it inspiration and wisdom The campaign should be fought by the Republicans on the basis of patriotism rather than partisanship. We hope to see during the next three months many such meetings as were held during war times, when both Republican and Dem ocratic speakers spoke on the same I platform and the Republicans and i Democrats in the audience were alike

EXTKA-H4ZARDOUS.

There is a natural anxiety to know just how much of chap the Boy Ora tor is. It has been said that he is as beautiful as Apollo, but as he is mar ried that doesn't count for much even among the women, and we notice that his beauty is not now put forward as one of his chief claims to public favor. It has been said that he Is a great ora- tor, but there doesn't appear to be much proof of that, and there is proof that he repeats himself in his speeches in a way that no great orator can afford to. He is not said to be great lawyer or a great editor, but he has done lit- tie in both 8 legal and editorial way. What seems to be an attempt to make a fair estimate of him is made by Ed ward Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, who knows him well. He says that from the professional standpoint, MT. Bryan may be considered as a dismal failure. His legal practice has never amounted to anything worth mentioning. His venture in the news paper business has not been regarded as serious. While he has been nominal editor of the Omaha World Herald since September l. 1894, he has in real ity been a mere journalistic figure head. His name has been paraded at the head of the weekly edition to draw free-siIver delusionists, but it was soon taken out of the daily, and has not been replaced. Instead of devoting time to the paper he has been travelling about

JUICE OF THE LEMON.
Good for the Complexion, the Hair and
 the Toilet Table in General.

Good for the Complexion, the Hair and
 the Toilet Table in General.
 Lemon juice rubbed on the cheeks be- fore going to bed and allowed to dry there will remove freclles, sunburn and whiten the skin, besides giving it a smoothness and softness to the touch. This should be done about three times a week, both winter ani summer, and is of the greatest aid to such complexions as are afflicted with enlarged and blackened pores. These enlarged pores are due to deficient ir- culation of the blood and are to be greatly aided by vigorous rubbing with a coarse towel every time the face is washed.
 Those who lead a sedentary life find the circulation feeblest about the nose, lips and temples and these parts of the face should be energetically rubbed and kneaded several times a day Then the pores become distended the fine invisible dust in the air enters and clogs and blackens them. Mere ordi- nary face washing even when wasin water and soap are used, is not suffi- cient to remove this drift in the pores but the vigorous acid of the lemon will cleanse and carry off all such unsightly blemishes.
 Tn all the West Indies lemon bath is almost a daily luxury Three or four Times or lemons are sliced into the wat CT, which is drawn half an hour before using, so that the fruit juice may have a chance to permeate, and the deli ciousness of such rubbing must be felt to be appreciated.
 The sense of cleanliness and fresh ness it gives and the suppleness and smoothness it inparts to the skin is an experience not soon forgotten. The lemon is more than a substitute for t!le bran bath bags which were institut d by the French, and which exquisites think so necessary for the toilet.
 Half teaspoonful of the juice of the lemon squeezed into g. glass of water and used for brushing the teeth gives the mouth the same feeling of cleanli- ness that the lemon bath gives to the skin. It is particularly grateful when sickness renders the mucous and sali- vatory excretions of the mouth un- pleasant Not more than half tea spoonful should be used, :.s powerful acid is bad for the enamel, but on occa- sion the proportion may be increased. as the lemon is an active deodo ciAer and will remove the smell of onions or tobacco from the mouth.
 As hair wash and tonic it has no ri val. For the purpose a large juicy lemon should be cut in half, the head dipped into a bowl of water, from which the chill only must be removed, and the water made of the same tenn perature as the air-and the lem m rubbed and squeezed vigorously among the roots and along the length of the hair. Soak and rub the head well in this bath, and then rinse thoroughly n fresh water of the same warmth. If well dried at once with energtic teoweling there will never be the small est danger of cold. No soap is neede1. The acid of the lemon absolutely re- moves all grease and dust, and the hair. after such bath. is soft. glossy

characteristics of the garment are kept, and yet the figure is hardly more con- fined than in a shirt waist alone
 Worn over a soft front crepe or silk shirt waist the general effect is dressy and charming. Such an accessory is also useful made of black chiffon or grenadine and will transform a simple bodice and one perhaps a little old fashioned. In these days 1t isn't the girl who has the greatest number of dresses, but the one who can most s,lc- cessfully adapt those she has, who makes the hit.
 A good many of us are struggling with the bang that won't grow, and yet we must wear q pompadour as every one else does. This means that you must make your knot high on the head as in this sketch. The top bang will be long enough to meet this, and the side locks can be held with d side comb. Don't be afraid to cut hair for a pom padour, because to cut some of the front hair and adjust it to new fash ion does the hair good It is so much easier to give good care to portion of the hair, especially if 1t is only half length, than it is to attend constantly to the whole growth. The special care of one portion of the scalp can only im- prove the whole head. FLORETTE.

FASHION NOTES.
A Skeleton Jacket.

Many women do not like to wear a shirt waist without a jacket over it. ex- cept, perhaps, in the morning. There is an informality about the omission of the jacket and there is, on the other hand, a good deal of discomfort about the wearing of the usual one. In the accompanying picture you'll see jack ct effect that adapts itself to wear over almost any waist, either shirt or more fanciful It is really no more than a belt with jacket effect skirt attached. A triangular piece fitted out to the armhole is put on to the belt at each side and sets up along the side of the figure under the arm, a dainty little bow hiding the hook front and back

and clean. This lemon bath once a week will have the most beneficial ef- feet upon the hair; stimulating its growth, delaying the coming of gray ness and making 1t beautifully pliable and polished.
 For manicuring the lemon is abso- lutely indispensable. A teaspoonful If juice in cup of tepid water whitens and supplies the nails and removes all grease and dirt, making them much more easy to polish. This should be used every morning, and by dabbllng the fingers a few moments it is possible to make the nails perfectly clean and transparent, without the use of any metal cleaner, by simply rubbing under them with towel.
 It is also most beneficial in removing the skin around the nail edges, which should never by any chance be cut with scissors Rub the towel firmly all about the nail, pushing back the sk'n; do this regularly every day, and after a few weeks the skin growth will disap- pear and never return as long as the treatment is continued. The compari- son of nails kept in this way with those subjected to the barbarous method of skin clipping will at once show the ad- vantage of the former manner of treat ment
 Finally the lemon upon the toilet ta- ble is a great aid to health. The juice of a lemon squeezed into a large break fast cup of water, drank without sugar, and immediately upon rising and as hot as can be borne, is the most admir- able tonic and alterative..
 No one should form the habit of talk ing even the mildest alterative, but if the head feel heavy and dull or one IS conscious of languor and discomfort upon rising, his lemon draught is one of the best and simplest methdos of clear ing out the system and restoring its tone.-rC Commercial Advertiser.

Wild deer in California are in dan- ger of extinction because of the ruth less slaughter by the pot-hunters. The state law provides that it shall be un- lawful to kill deer between October 15 and July 15, and the Board of Su- pcrvisors ia some counties have exer- cised their power to further shorten the open season. But the limited ap- propriations do not admit of employ ing a sufficient number of deputies to enforce the law in the interior coun- ties of Marin, sononla, and Mendoeino, where the slaughter is unabated. Deer are getting scarcer every season." the San Francisco Call says, "and it will not be many years hence when they will disappear like the elk and ante lope, all because of the continual shoot ing and the little interest that is be- ing manifested by sportsmen in their protection" An effort is being made to induce the true sportsmen to sub scribe a sufficient amount to maintain game wardens in the woods.
