Home Treatment. lErnm Harner's Razar

It is a safe assertion to make, that
 we ali have our faults. But when we come to analyze the generalization. and sort out individual shortcomings for examination it is not so safe to assume that we all recognize where our weak nesses lie. It is also true that our ene- mics do not tell us our faults, but only discuss them behind our backs; while our friends shrink from the thankless task of holding the mirror up to our foibles, for fear of alienating us in the process. Burns wish may be wise in deed:
 70 wad some power the giftie gie us
 To see ourselves as others see us!"
 But, since friends and enemies are alike unavailable, where shall we find the dis cipline we need?
 The answer is plain, though we gen.
 erally shut our eyes to it. The one place
 where we meet the plain spoken criti- cisrn that is necessary to self knowledge
 is the home circle. If there is any fault, sprouting or full blown, developing or | developed in us, We will learn it here; and, since the motive of the critic is oiliSCiC cillCCllOll dllU d QGSlIS lO TSpIeSS what is imperfect in our character, we should accept these rebukes with thanksgiving, and not with impatience, as often happens.
 It may, and usually does, fret and irriUate us to have our vanity wounded by the unsparing remark that our tenn
 per, for instance, is disagreeable, or
 that we grumble and worry unnneces- | sarily, or that our ways are selfish and inconsiderate, or our wills inordinately strong, or that We dress too youthfully, or exaggerate in our talk, or that certain
 Of our habits are too fixed for other peoples comfort, etc. We may call our selves shy" perhaps, and be hurt (and enligtened) by hearing 1t dubbed self consciousness by a clear sighted rela-
 tive. The very fact that we fret at | such revelations shows that We recog- niZe the impsrfeetion even when We re-
 fuse to acknowledge it to ourselves. | Nothing is so invaluable as an unspar- ing and near relative in these matters so near that his or her counsel cannot l be successfully evaded, and so unspar- ing that no fault goes unwhipped of jus ] tice.

must always be smoothed with a soft brush after it has been worn, hung on a stretcher where it will not be crushed with other garments, and kept from dust and light. While new electric seal of good quality looks just as we'll as real, little wear tells at once on the imitation, and then the difference shows. Electric seal should never be subjected to the crushing of wear in the theater, when the garment is only half laid aside and then leaned on all through the evening.
 Hardly less perishable than imitation seal is chinchilla, although it has been the most fashionable fur of the winter Whether its vogue another season will be as great is a question, but it can certainly be bought very reasonably just now. The handsome collafette that the artist presents herewith is of chinchilla, having a narrow yoke of black velvet embroidered with jet, and lining of pale blue satin. Its cozy col lar is wired in place. Such a collarette really gives about as much warmth as the fashionable type Of fla<ing cape, and as it does not, in a way, pretend at so much warmth, it is preferable when the saving in fur is taken into consider ation

DEAR SIR: have your favor of the

question with Mr.. Erastus L. Potter, the
well known Populist OF Port Dram. In
reply beg to say that have not sntIi-
cient spare time at my disposal, during
the remainder Of the campaign, to enable
me to take part in a debate with Mr.. Pot
ter. Nor is il usual for a candidate for
office TO participate in public debate,
except with the opposing candidate. II
my opponent, Hon. Augustus w. Cutler,
is disposed to debate the money qucstion
with me in public, it will give me plea
sure to do so, IN such a manner and I'M
der such arrangements as to secure fair
hearing for both sides.
Yours very truly,

powpERLY ON FREE SILVER.

Its Advocates, He Says, Have No Claim
Upon WOrkingmen's yotes.
Former General Master Workman Pow.
derby, of the Knights of Labor, has
come out for Mckinley and Hobart and
sound money. Mr.. Powderly says:
1.-THE silver men have been spreading
the doctrine of free coinage actively for
many years, and by incessant labor they
have succeeded in committing some indus
trial organizations to the advocacy OF their
theories. With such earnestness have they
circulated the story Of the crime OF 1879
that the belief that silver was stealthily
and surrcptitiously demonetized has
gained great Roadway. The fact is lost
sight of that those who have exposed the
alleged crime were themselves criminals
according to their own theory. They sal
in congress when the bill was passed, they
took part in the debates, and by their
votes aided in the passage Of The act. Had
the men who discovered the crime OF
1873 not been owners OF silver mines or
did they not wish to unload their silver
properties on the unwary no one would
have heard of the act CT 1873"
Speaking of Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Powderly
said that he never heard of Bryan cham
pioniug single labor measure. "He is
vouched for by no one," continued Mr..
Powderly. "He nominated himself in a
speech about crucifylng labor upon cross
OF gold. His only solution of the diff
Guilty is to break the limbs OF labor upon
the rack OF silver.
Bryan speaks of gold plntocrats, but be
does not explain why the gold plutocrat is
any worse than the silver one. In Nevada,
the home OF the agitation for the single
silver standard, there are less than 46, 900
people. My homo, the city of Scranton,
has population Of 10000 inhabitants.
Deduct double the population OF Nevada
from the population of Scranton and you
have $1,000 left. Yet Nevada has two
senators to shout for silver, while the city
of Scranton has not single representa-
tive in the United States senate to boom
our coal and iron and steel and to ask the
government TO double their value.

nounced General Sickles, who lost leg
al Gettysburg General Howard, General
Alger and other veterans OF the war, as
sold wrecks Of the Rebellion, who have

Bryan is seeking to re-cstablish the very

seeking to reduce by one-half the value
Of all pensions now paid the veterans or
their widows and orphans. No wonder
