Summer window Drnpcries.

Instead of thin window draperies
shutting out the air, one experiences a
delightful sense of GOODNESS when en-
tering a room where scrim or dotted
swiss curtains are gently blown by the
slight summer breeze, their softenng
effect upon the light and their ripping
motion making one declare that room
in which they hang is ten degrees
cooler than the bare, curtainless apart
ment with tightly closed shutters. But
whatever else goes undone the wise
housewife sees that all the blinds are
in working order, well knowing that
the masculine element is provoked to
anathema when trying TO manipulate
window shade that won't "go."-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

VIII Not Make Enemies.

The opposition to particular clauses
in the Dingley bill in its present shape
which is attributed to few republic
ans, is not an unprecedented circum-
stance. No tariff bill which pleased
every member of the party framing it
has ever appeared, and no such measure
ever will appear. A bill which touches
several thousand articles, as every
measure does which changes all the
schedules, must necessarily invite at
tack at some points from some mem
bers of the party responsible for 1T.
The Mckinley and Wilson bills called
out strong opposition in congress in
the parties which framed them. The
present measure is not likely to evoke
any such hostility. OF course, attempts
by republican senators will be made
TO change some of its provisions, but
the measure, when it comes up for
final action, will probably receive the
solid party vote.-St. Louis Globe-Dcm-
ocrat.
OIt is sad to see Senator German re-
pudiating the present tariff law. ~
our memory serves us, he is largely re-
sponsible for that act of perfdy and dis
nonor.-Boston Herald (Dem.).

Silver I'm Peru.

The progressive decline in the value
Of silver bullion the world over has
ut last compelled Peru to take decisive
steps to stop the depreciation of her
currency, which is on the silver basis.
On May 20 the coinage of silver at the
Peruvian minis ceased entirely, and no
silver bullion will be received ut the
mint. The importation of silver coin
is prohibited, except it be converted
into bullion, which, of course, cannot
be coined. This prevents any increase
of the volume of silver coin through
importation. The amount Of silver coin
brought into Peru by travellers is also
stringently limited. The unit OF Peru
Wan money is the sol, whose face value
is about 90 cents of our money. It's
actual value is now 46.S cents. The gov
eminent of Peru is trying TO prevent
any further depreciation by adopting
the method in vogue in France for the
past 20 years, and which the United
States has used since 1S03-to limit the
volume of silver, thus preventing it's
fluctuating in value with the price of
silver bullion. Yet there are men in the
United States who would bring upor
this country the calamity of fluctu-
ating currency, which always is ruinous
to the workingmen and the farming
community, in pursuance OF the theory
that the government stamp confers
yalue!-Toledo Blade.
