THE HOUSEHOLD.
Social Settlement Work.

All philanthroplc people the
world over, who are studying
problems for the prevention of
poverty as well as its relief, will be
interested in the leading article in
Demorest's Magazine for August,
which takes as its theme "Hull
House," the centre of that beautiful
social settlement work inangurated
in Chicago by Miss Jane Adams.
The article is very fully illustrated
and gives valuable information con-
corning the class and club work,
with their endless ramifications and
benefcent influence, which have
extended far beyond the most san
guine hopes of the founders.
"'The Fury of the Winds" is
another article filled with graphic
illustrations of recent storms which
have devastated the West; timely
article, interesting to all Americans,
whether they be partisans or not,
is ga Study of Major Mckinley"
fully illustrated, which gives a
face to face view of the presidential
candidate in his pleasant home;
other entertaining topics are
"Notable Women of Atlanta,
Georgia, illustrated with photo
graphs of beautiful women,-and
"Ik Marvel at Home" which al
most against that genial writer's
wishes, gives glimpse of Donald
G. Mitchell in his daily life
Woman's influence upon patriotism
is discussed by several well known
New York women; and GA Glimpse
of Wellesley" shows us one of the
centres where the women who will
mold opinion in the future are being
trained to exercise it wisely. The
several departments are full of
good things, and "Sanitarian' dis
cusses "Summer Care of Babies"
giving helpful hints to young
mothers, as well as to older ones
with bad habits.
The Fashion Review and illus
trations of midsummer modes are
unusually attractive and sugges-
tive, and everyone who has ever
used the patterns given with this
magazine knows their intrinsic
value and how practical they are.
Every number of Demorest's con-
tains a Pattern Order which entities
the holder to reliable and modish
patterns at merely nominal cost.
The patterns that can be obtained
during year ON the Orders given
would, if purchased in the regular
way, cost at least from $50 to $75.
Everyone who will take the
trouble to cut out this notice and
forward it, with ten cents, to the
address below, will receive a sample
copy of Demorest's Magazine, con-
tanning a Pattern Order which en-
titles the holder to any pattern
illustrated in any number of the
Magazine published during the last
twelve months, at the uniform price
of four cents each; and frequently
over thirty patterns are illustrated
in one number, thus affording an
almost unlimited variety to select
from. Demorest's is published for
$2 year, by the Demorest Publish
ing Company, ITO Fifth avenue,

and, therefore, the land should not
be monopolized for speculative pur-
poses.
"All lands now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess OF
their actual needs should, by law
full means, be reclaimed by the
Government and held for actual
settlers only; and private land
monopoly, as well as alien owner
ship, should be prohibited.
"Second. Wecondemn the frauds
by which the land grant to the
Pacific railroad companies have,
through the eonnivance of the In
terror Department, robbed multi
tudes of equal bonafide settlers of
their homes and miners of their
claims, and we demand legislation
by Congress which will enforce the
exemption of mineral land from
such grants after as we'll as before
patent.
"Third. We demand that bona
fide settlers on all public lands be
granted free homes, as provided in
the case of Indian reservations when
opened for settlement, and that all
lands not now patented come under
this demand.

GENERAL PROPOSITIONS.
"First-We demand the election
of President, Vice-President and
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people.
"Second-We tender to the pat
riotic people of Cuba our deepest
sympathy in their heroic struggle
for political freedom and indepen-
dence, and we believe the time has
come when the United States, the
great republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba is and of right
ought to be free and independent
State.
"Third-We favor home rule in
the Territories and the District of
Columbia, and the early admission
of the Territories as States.
"Fourth-All public salaries
should be made to correspond to
the price of labor and its products.
"Fifth-In times of great indus
trial depression, idle labor should
be employed on public works as
far as practicable.
"Sixth-The arbitrary course of
the courts in assuming to imprison
citizens for indirect contempt and
ruling that by injunction should be
prevented by proper legislation.
"Seventh-We favor just pen
sions for our disabled Union
soldiers.
"Eighth-Believing that the
election franchise and untrammeled
ballot are essential to Government
of, for and by the people, the
Peoples party condemn the whole
sale system of disfranchisement
adopted in some States as unre-
publican and undemocratic, and
we declare it to be the duty of the
several State Legislatures to take
such action as will secure a full,
free and fair ballot and an honest
count.
"Ninth-While the foregoing
propositions constitute the platform
upon which our party stands, and
for the vindication of which its
organization will be maintained,
we recognize that the great and
pressing issue of the pending cam
paign upon which the present
Presidential election will turn, is
the financial question, and upon
this specific issue between the
parties, we cordially invite thel aid
and cooperation of all organiza-
tions and citizens agreeing with us
upon this vital question"

Our Fruit.

Now that the winter is past, we
can calmly review the condition OF
our fruit The cold snap at the
close of winter caused some appre-
hension tor the peach crop. Some
misleading statements have been
circulated to the effect that tender
fruits were nipped i'll some locali-
ties. The facts are that practically
no damage resulted from the freeze.
The apricots even are still in good
condition. They are not now in
bloom here. 1t IS fact that for
some reason they have been held
back till they are even at this date
in condition to withstand a great
deal of cold weather The fruit
outlooE for the Clearwater valley
is very good. There are large
numbers of young trees coming in
to bearing with the first paying
crops. The pests Of which the
complaining public makes under
alarms do not effect the value of the
crop as whole. The San lose
scale is confined to the city limits
and not to the producing orchards.
The fruit grower who understands
his business, successfully combats
the scale as we'll as all other pests.
The fruit business is in far better
condition than ever before in this
district. New market for our pro.
ducts are found every season, till
there is no doubt about the demand
tor all the possible product of this
district at good prices. The quality
of our apples is attracting wide at
ten;ion. The stock of this fruit
ROW in the hands of some of our
growers Is simply perfect. Samples
were exhibited this week. of at
least dozen varieties that were so
gorgeous in colorlng and luscious
in flavor, that prominent visitors
expressed the verdict that they
could not be eNce!led any place in
the world.
