An especially delightful at home was

hanson at her residence on West Jeffer-
son street. There was gathered under
the hospitable roof people we'll known
in the world of music and literature, and

OF exceptional pleasure. The affair was
in honor of Mrs. Theodosia b. Shep-
herd of Ventura, the Woman's Press
club, the members of the executive board

were prettily decorated for the occasion,

carried out in the dining room where

son, assisted by Mrs. Lee Lloyd, served
refreshing viands. On the table daint-
lily embroidered pieces in yellow covered

The influx OF cheap foreign goods has

that our Vermont farmers dream OF
good old Mckinley times when butter

so at the expense OF the labor that pro-

While America is wallowing in this
slough OF despond, England is enjoy

happy. Verify, the Democratic tariff
is blessing--for England.
Next November the American peo-
pie will have chance to reverse their

hardly need be said that they will do

will prove valuable for another gener-

The Lesson Of Three Years.

When voters were told during the
last presidential campaign that Demo
cratic success meant hard times, low
wages and financial disturbance many
OF them were inclined to regard such
statements as campaign buncombe, to
be discounted accordingly. The
country was enjoying great prosperity
IA fact that even Democrats could
not gainsay. But the voters, who fol-
generation had not experienced
Democratic rule, listened to the
siren-voiced politicians who promised
them even greater prosperity and
who worked ON their jealousy and
prejudice to array them against those
more fortunate than themselves.
Employees were told that the Ameri-
can manufacturers were class of plu-
tocrats fattening on the poor laborers
whom they paid only meagre wages
for their work and whom they COM
PEELED to pay extortionate prices for
whatever they bought. In the same
breath the employers were told that
under the protecting wing of Democ-
racy their business would grow like
Jonah's gourd. The markets Of the
world would be at our feet, they said.
The farmer was tickled into the belief
that Democratic success meant higher
prices for his products and lower
prices for everything he would have
to buy. Every class was appealed to
By such arguments as these. At first
the people listened, then half-belicvcd.
"Let's give the Democrats a chance,'
they said. "They have been finding
fault with everything the Republicans
have done for twenty five years. Per-
haps they really will do what they
say they will. Anyhow, let's give
them chance"
Now this "chancc" was just what
the Democratic politicians were after
and they eagerly answered, "Just try
u.s." And SO the voters, whom Lir-
colin said were "all fools part Of the
time" elected Grover Cleveland presi-
dent and chose a Democratic Con-
yress in both branches. Then they
'at down to enjoy the blessings that
we're promised them.
