Campaign Expenses.

National campaigns are always ex-
pensiye and yet they are often greatly
exaggerated by partisan newspapers.
During the late campaign it was no uR-
common thing to see ~ Democratic
newspapers statements that the Re
publican national committee had so,
OOO,0OO to expend. and that several hun
dred thousands were to be dumped into
Missouri TO corrupt aud purchase in
noceut and honest BryanItes. The fact
is that all the money collected by the
national Republican committee amount
ed to but 81 100000 and it did not ex-
pend all OF that sum. The greater part
of this money was we'll spent. 1t was
to the dissemination Of
sound financial literature. 1t was
devoted to the education OF tile people,
10 the correction of dangerous and false
doctrines, and in swelling the receipts OF
the United States postoffie department.
II all campaign funds were as well spent
elections would not be such an undilut-
ed curse. St Joseph Herald.

your heart full of Joy, and love, aud

one who is 10 grief. These are the days
when you must needs give of your good
things, and among all your possessions
there is nothing SO good as belief
in God and a hope for the future.
That Was the little Child came TO tell
about. Surely that Christmastide Is
the feast of all others that appeals to
women, and as the story is told again
and again by the bells as they ring. by
the carols as they are sung, 10y the
preacher from the pulpit, We know that
Unto US Child is born and peace and
good will reign all over the land. Let
peace and good will be 10 your heart
and from you they will 60 and spread
all over the land. 1t is to the women
thank God, that the happiness of the
Christmastide specially comes. And
women are generous, else one OF them
never would have given her Son to die
that all might live. She gave To all the
world her only Son the gift that mean,
eternal life"

III ese five states had - Democratic
members in the Fifty third congress
They haven't a e3litary Democratic
member in the Fifty iifth congress,
though trajitlonally New jersey and
Maryland are Democratic stronghoids,
unswervlng in their past loyalty to the
Democratic party. aud Connecticut has
not been carried by the Republicans in
a national election until this year since
1872, with the single exception OF the
election of 1880, when Gen. GARFIELD
carried 1t, polling 50.5 per cent. OF the
total vote. West Virginia has been re-
garded of late years as certain Demo
cratic state, and Wisconsls has twice
been carried by the Democrats on the
goyernorship of late, aud it was in the
Democratic party column in 1892. Here,
then, are twenty five seats sacrificed in
congress In states strongly inclined to-
ward the democratic party. but now
deprived OF any voice in the Democratic
party caucus in the house.

PAPER money is said to be an exce.-
lent thing to polish spectacies, and
while this is not generally known or
pract,ced it is rapidly gaining in public
favor. We are told that w. II. Warren,
of the bank Of Shelbina, has been in the
habit Of Frightening his glasses, gener-
ally using five or ten dollar bills, and
with results entirely satisfactory. Miss
Jessie Hoselton, one Of the book keepers
of that bank adopted the same method
of assisting her eye sight. Last Mon
day, although the day WAS foggy and
dark, she WAS able to transact the bus
mess with perfect ease and in explain
ing to others of the banking force how
she had accomplished such remarkable
results, 1t was discovered that she had
unknowingly used hundred dollar bill
instead OF five. IL is said that since
then that nothing could induce her to
use bill of lower denomination than
fifty dollars. -Sbelbina Democrat.

brother. They had sat talking together
long after sunset, and had let the dark
ness steal on them insensibly, as peo-
pie will who are only occupied with
quiet familiar conversation. Thus 1t
happened, by curious coincidence,
that just as Lomaque was blowing out
his candles at the office, Rose was light
ing the reading lamp at her brothers
lodgings.
Five years of disappointment and sor-
row had sadly changed her to outward
view. Her face looked thinner and
longer; the once delicate red and white
OF her complexion was gone; her figure
had wasted under the influence of some
weakness which already made her stoop
a little when she walked Her man
ner had lost its maiden shynesS only
to become unnaturally quiet and sub
tlued or all the charms which had
so fatally, yet so innocently, allured
her heartless husband, but one re-
mained-the winning gentleness of her
voice. 1t might be touched now and
then with a note of sadness, but the
soft attraction of it's even, natural tone
still remained. In the morning of all
other harmonies, this one harmony had
been preserved unchanged Her
brother, though his face was care-worn,
and his manner sadder than of old,
looked less altered from his former
self. 1t is the most fragile material
which soonest shows the flaw The
worlds idol, Beauty, holds its frailest
tenure of existence in the one Temple
where we most love to worship it.
"And so you think. Louis, that our
perilous undertaking mas really ended
well by this timer" said Rose, anx-
iously, as she lit the lamp and placed
the glass shade over it. What re-
lief It is only to hear you say you think
we have succeeded at lastH
u said hoped" replied her brother.
well, even hoped is great word
