Congress an Inanity.

That the Congress of the United
States has been an inanity for 80
years was never more apparent than
shown by its action on the Cuba
question. Almost the entire body
of both houses was in favor of
granting belligerant rights to the
Cuba patriots. The country was
well nigh unanimous for it. Each
house passed resolutions to that
effect. Then rose objections on the
part of a few members, followed by
delay, long speeches and finally by
reference to a joint committee.
The moral effect of the action 10y
this parlying and halting process
has been weakened, the tyranny of
Spain encouraged, the Cuban cause
loses the benefit which would have
redounded to it by prompt and
decided action. What is the secret
cause Of it all? The poisonous
breath and toHch Of the clammy
hand of the Rothschiid gold ring.
They have $500, 100000 of Spanish
debt, the interest on which is guar
anteed by II tax torn from the
tyranny cursed Cubans. The ennis
saries of the gold trust have han
died Congress for thirty years and
dictated by its dark meth0ds what
ever laws it wanted, on all eeea-
siOns where money was involved.
That blighting touch wrought the
decentralization Of silver and has
kept it from coinage ever SINCE
although the country is overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of ifs restoration.
The blight of the gold ring bPiher
has slimed Congress and Presidents
! like the brearh of the serpent.

Every housewife knows that the

Pockets in Stockings.

The quainteSt idea emanateS from
the German hosiery world in the
shape of tiny pockets contrived, ac
cording to the Drapery World,
above and on the outside of the
knees of stockings. Time alone
will prove the convenience of such
hiding places, said to hold from a
watch to a couple of moderate sized
diamond necklaces. On evening
stockings the small pockets are of a
contrasting color, and deliberately
wrought with silk flowers and
foliage, framed with an inch of
embroidery. The black stockings
for ordinary wear have, of course,
deeper receptacles, with palmer
devices. 1t behooves ladies to find
out notices in good taste, and suit
able for both coarse and fine hosiery
They will most likely put all their
ingenuity into producing charming
sets ofpocketstockings with knicker-
bockers, and either carriers or sus-
penders. On the other hand,
knitters will have to revise the
receipts of the tops Of their stock
ings, in order to introduce the extra
flap or gusset for the secure nook
Carriers and 'suspenders, too, will
have to be strengthened to bear the
extra weight. Travellers may pos
sibly find the new invention handy,
but sportswomen, and even church
women, will not readily adopt a
fashion likely to impede the bend
ing of the knee.

The stout woman should, if she
wears white aprons, make them as
she does her skirts, with a narrow
pointed or rounded yoke, so that
the fullness comes we'll below the
waist line. White aprons for
slender women are also more be-
coming if the fullness about the
waist, especially in front, is lessened
by shirring it down with from four
to six narrow rows of shirring.
A pretty apron, after p new
pattern, has the fullness attached
to the rounded yoke, as suggested.
In front there is a bib gathered into
a narrow space at the waist line,
but broader at the top. This bib,
which is nearly two-thirds the
length of the waist, has fastened to
it at each corner wide revers that
spread out over the shoulder, and
are continued in the back. Well
below the shoulder blade these
COLLARS or reYers each terminate in
strap.
The straps cross each other, and
are fastened to the belt under the
large bow made by tha strings;
The apron, made of whitish muslin,
with embroidered frills at the
bottom and on the revers, is be-
coming when an elaborate apron is
desired.
Deep muslin cuffs, with a frill at
the top, add the somewhat coquet-
fish, somewhat matronly effect Of
the apron.

Cleveland's Guards.

The man who goes to see Grover
Cleveland nowadays has got to run
"a pretty smart inspection at the
gates which lead to the White
House grounds. He will find three
or four policemen either in uniform
or plain clothes lettering around the
the grounds and he will be care
fully inspected by them. At the
front door of the White House he
will find two door-keepers and a
policeman. At the head of the
staircase on the way to Mr.. Cleue-
lands office are two more police
men, at the door of the private Sec
retary's room is another policeman,
in the ante chamber are two more
door keepers and watchmen. Then
there is the private secretary Thur
Der and another Waterman and
lastly the door keeper on duty at
Mr.. Cleveland's own door. The
men able to pass that line and
finally get to see the President are
very few in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Make Screen of Them.
One of the things that trouble
you nowadays in your apparent
inability to make satisfactory use
of the pretty pictures which appear
often in the magazines and some
times in the newspapers.
You do not have the heart to
throw them away; you can find nc
hole or corner in which they dc
not gather dust. And all, so faI
as you can see, to no definite end.
You will not put them into the
fire, nor yet would you send them
to the hospital.
Helplessly, you let them pile up,
trusting to general confagration
in town or a special dispensation
to reveal to you the possibilities OF
your white elephant troubles.
Behold! You can make a screen
of them. An object, which will be
a thing of beauty, if you go about
it right, and a joy until somebody
puts his foot through it.
Japanese screens are the most
useful for this purpose. The frames
are of soft wood and cheap. Stout
brown paper is pasted carefully
over each of the surfaces. And
when it is dried the art collector
may begin the disposition of his
pictures. No rule is to be observed
in the arrangement of them, except
that they must be placed irregularly.
A paste sold at the stationery stores
is the proper adhesive mixture.
Ordinary tidiness in cutting the
edges and tlattening the surfaces
will produce comforting results.
Strips of black paper may be al
tached lengthwise to conceal the
joining of the wood and pictures.

Governor Morton of New York,
the London American banker,
Wall Streets favorite Presidential
candidate has failed to carry a solid
New York Delegation to place his
name in nomination for fine presi-
dency. Mckinley is cutting in on
Morton. This is another sign that
Wall Street shows unmistakable
signs of weakness when brought
before the people, and it also points
to straddle of the Republican
party on the money plank Of its
national platform. The Ohio state
convention was the first most
ominous sign of an attempted
straddle, and the Morton weakness
in his own state adds to the belief
that 2 sitlraadiddle viii be deemed

LIVE ISSUES.
The Sphinx Candidates.

The Silver Knight last week had
an excellent cartoon representing
eight sphinxes, Mckinley, Allison,
Reed, Morrison, Quay, Morton,
Pattison and Mathews. Each
sphinx has sealed jar in his hand
bearing the label, "My opinion
about silver.u The following is
the history of the Grecian Sphinx {:
The great similarity between
Rothschild's Presidential candi-
dates in the two old parties and the
Grecian Sphinx has led our artist
this week to represent those Presi
Dental candidates in what seems to
us their true characters. The
sphinx was "a tabled monster, half
woman and half lion, said by the
Grecian poets to have infested the
city of Thebes devouring its inhab-
itants till such time as riddle it
had proposed to them had been
solved. The riddle was as follows:
what animal is that which goes on
four feet in the morning, on two at
noon, and on three in the evening?'
Numerous victims fell before the
monster, till at length Oedipus,
who was then at Thebes, came for
ward and answered the sphinx that
it was man, who, when an infant,
creeps on all tours; when he has
attained to manhood goes on two
feet; and. when old, uses staff-a
third foot. The sphinx thereupon
flung herself down to the earth and
persisted; and Oedipus was, by the
gratitude of the Thebons, chosen
their king
No one will doubt that the posi-
ton of both Harrison and Cleveland
upon the money question was a
conundrum or riddle which was not
solved until after their election.
The country being unable to solve
it then each of these worthless fol-
lowed the instincts of the sphinx in
devouring the people of the United
States. "The stuffed prophet of
Buffalo," who was the sphinx of
1892, is still devouring the sub
stance of Uncle Sam, because the
poor old gentleman is unable to tell
how the Democratic party discov-
cred Grover, or to point out the
crimes of Washington, Jefferson,
Jackson, Monroe and Lincoln,
which merit the punishment of such
successor; or what the people of
the United States have done that
enables an alien gold syndicate to
scOurge them with cormorant that
would have made Nero blush and
weep. Who can say that the
sphinxes now posing as candidates
for the Presidency in the two old
parties are not furnishing as diff
ticult riddles to solve as the stuffed
prophet of Buffalo did; or that, if
there is anything left of the sub
stance of Uncle Sam, it will not be
devoured by any one of these can
didates, if elected, on account of the
inability of Jonathan to unriddle a
new imposition with the same pro-
pensities as the sphinx of 1892, and
still keener appetite for plumber !?

Take Warning-Get Ready.


monopoly and the people is begin
ming to shape itself along Presi-
dental campaign lines, and wide
political gulf is slowly opening be-
tween different sections of the coun
try. Some will shut their eyes to
the possibilities, and all patriots
will join in the aspiration that our
country may be blessed with peace.
But what does New York Bel
mont, Rothschild's agent, mean
when he says, "New York will not
willingly consent that there shall
be condition of things in which a
new Congress and President may
be chosen on the theory that Con-
gress can make full legal tender
dollars out of anything it chooses
to use? 2"
What does he mean when he
says, "New York will not willingly
take the risk of future Supreme
Court declaring valid such lava"
The Belmont interview has a
meaning which is too plain. 1t is
hint of either notification Or
secession. 1t is a threat to appeal
from the decision at the ballot box
or with traitorous gold to prevent
an honest expression of the will of
the people at the bollot box. Bel
mont voices the thoughts of the
Money Power. Take warning, men
of the South and West.
Is the question of the divorce of
the government from the banks to
involve the question of the disunion
of the States themselves, as proph
esied by the nation's statesmen in
the Senate chamber more than fifty
years ago? Will the five thousand
millions of so called "vested rights"
in the East follow the example of
the four hundred millions of "vest-
ed rights in the South in 1860?
Is history to repeat itself even to
that much to be deplored extreme 2
And do the so-called owners of
nearly half of these alleged vested
rights realize that they merely hold
titles to that which was originally
stolen and under the moral law are
guilty in the sight of God of all the
robbery and oppression that follow
in the trail of the crime? Will
they rebel against the result of an
election that means emo further
extension" of the Money Power,
and thereby invite the emancipa-
ton Of the people from this bond
age into which they have been
stolen?
We have no fear of the outcome.
God reigns and the Republic will
live, and the People will rule; but
it is none too early to get ready to
seat the President who will be nom
mated by the people in st. Louis,
July %, and elected by the people
in November. Let the motto be,
"peacefully, we hope, but forcibly
if we must" Any organization in
the South and West which has this
end in view, may have been need
lessly called into existence, but it is
not an undesirable reserve force.
Much depends upon the man
nominated. If he be one whose
past history is a guarantee that he
is Zone who knows his duty; and
Knowing, dare maintaln"-then the
Gold Power, with a guilty mein,
will sneak to its medicine.
May God give us such q man,
and the country will be spared
another DISQUALIFICATION Dia-
mond.

We believe the gold ring fears it is
beaten. They whistle to keep their
courage up, but cannot answer single
argument advanced by the Populists who
leave no opportunity unimproved to
expose their shams and preterses. They
stand it in silence generally and do not
even attempt to make fight. The
masses of the people, who, though not
very we'll informed on public questions,
take note of this and are having their
suspicious aroused that they are being
deceived by their old party leaders, and
are beginning to inquire of the Populist
leaders for information which they find
their old party guides either cannot or
will not inpart. The masses who are the
strength and hope of the old parties, are
growing lukewarm in the interest of their
parties. When the professional politician
sees this popular drift he will leave his
old party as rat leaves sinking ship.
The gold ring is seeming this danger and
is growing very nervous.
AS Old Hickory Jackson used to say
to Col. Benton when they were in the
thick of the first edition of this national
bank fight: eve will win. The people
are with u.s." And the people are with
us to-day as they were with Jackson
Push the fight. Attack the enemy every
where you meet him, and crowd, large
or small, is present to witness the weak
ness of the gold ring cause. Every
banker fears to defend his "sound
money" fraud and humbug where some
body is present to expose his sophistry
No old party heller dares to say word
in support of his party bond steal. Fol

During the civil war we largely ceased
to use gold, and until we began to con-
tract the currency, thus increasing the
value restricting exchanges.
The country had no tramps and the
word to designate them was never used
in our literature.
Merchants were prosperous. The peo-
pie had plenty of money and business
was largely done on a cash basis.
Business failures were infrequent?
Factories were springing into existence
and all run to their full capacity.
Labor had no trouble in securing
employment.
Strikes and labor unions were unnec-
essary to prevent reduction of wages as
these constantly increased.
Mortgages OH farms and other debts
rapidly disappeared.
The families of working men were we'll
fed, clothed and housed, and their chill
dren usually in school.
The men engaged in productive indus
tries were rapidly acquiring homes of
their own.
The term "dude" was never heard, as
that genus of English biped had not
appeared in America.
Contrast with that the condition under
the gold standard and you see what mis-
homer the word "best" is. That system
of money, and that only is good which
conduces to the greatest prosperity of the
people or country.
However, a system of money that en-
abled the people to be comfortable, happy
and prosperous, gold advocates would
probably not consider good money, but
bad money, and the greater the prosperity
it produced, why, the worse they would
think the money. On the contrary the
more misery and wretchedness it pro-
duced, why, the better the money would
appear to them. For this reason gold,
from that standpoint, would be the best
money, because the gold standard has
been the cause of more misery and suffer-
ing than the spirit of greed has been able
to devise.-Efects of the Gold Standard
