The Dispatch last week very
properly condemns the making of
appointments in the army by virtue
OF political favors We are much
rejoiced to have that most excellent
journal take the stand it does, and we
want to 90 on record as condemning
the appointment Of any man to official
position in the army simply for po-
lltiCsl capital, or personal favoritism.
We feared that an effort would be
made TO use the war for political
purposes, but this condemnation by
the Dispatch will head it of in the
republican ranks, and we will use
our best endeAvors to keep the peo-
pies party from attempting to make
capital out Of the efforts of Governor
Leedy to push enlistments and thus
assist the president in bis great work
for America.

RUGS FOR THE BATHROOM.
These Very Useful Articles May De
Made ~ the Restless
Little Ones.

Mothers very often sigh for some
thing wherewith to occupy the restless
fingers OF their little girls on rainy Jays
when play out of doors cannot be
thought of and in the evenings when
the little ones crave for something to
do before bedtime comes.
Why not set them to rugmalSing?
Little six-year-olds in elementary
schools love this occupation, which is
worthy of an introduction into the
home circle, with its pleasant volrn-
tary tolls.
The materials needed are knitting
cotton and two knitting needles. The
cotton is to be cut into uniform lengths
of about three inches. To cut it an eX-
cellent plan is 10 wind the cotton upon
a round ruler, then with sharp pair
of scissors to cut the thread along the
whole length of the ruler.
To begin the knitting, an uneven
number of stitches is cast on and four
or five rows knitted plainly; then on
the second stitch of the row to be
fringed one of the lengths of cut cot
ton is knitted in. The length is simply
doubled. and, being placed end to end,
the loop SO formed in the center is
taken along with the stitch in knitting.
All the even stitches take piece of
cotton fringe on this row. The next
row is knitted plainly; then comes
another fringed row. Thus the rows
continue, one fringed, one plain, until
the strip is long enough. If this strip
is knitted in white cotton the next strip
may be in red cotton, the colors alter
mating until the requisite number of
strips are knitted, when they are
sewed together to make very hand
some striped cotton mat.
This method of knitting the fringe on
every alternate row makes heavily
fringed, pretty and u ulrable rug, very
warm and comfortable for the feet on
stepping out of the bath. AS it is alb
sorbent it becomes of great service, espe-
cially in house where there are many
children to bathe. If the rug is desired
lighter than this, so making it easier to
wash when soiled, the rows of cotton
fringe may be placed on every fourth
row instead of upon every second one.
To vary the patterns in different rugs
the white strips may be knitted wide
and the red ones narrow and vice versa.
Again the alternate rows of cotton
lengths may be knitted red and white,
this plan making an excellent mat, or
perhaps white rug with AIRED border
may be liked. /
Little fingers grow expert at this
work, and little heads get very inter
ested in it. The knitting not only gives
finger practice and profitable employ
ment of time, but cultivates the facul-
ties of patience and attention no less
than it teaches the duty of using up all
scraps of time.-Boston Post.

Prompt People.

Don't live single hour of your life
without doing exactly what is to be

it from beginning to end. Work, play

then to the next thing without letting
any moments drop between. tits won

If ever you find yourself where you
have so many things pressing upon you

let me tell you secret: Take hold
of the very first one that comes to

though work may be hard to meet

Vinita needs and wants every
kind OF enterprise that would be
good for the town and profitable
to the owner. The town welcomes
men wiling and abe to invest
money in any venture that they
think will pay, but we doubt the
wisdom of giving bonuses to any
body, or of paying any man to
come and pitch his tents in our
midst. We have some very sue
cessful business men here who
have built up splendid and well
paying businesses without asking
cent from any one. If any man
believes Yinita would be good
place to come to and to enter into
business we bid him welcome To-
an open field and q fight, but as.
to bonuses, we are opposed to the
city granting them at all, unless
the circumstances be very extra
ordinary. 3

STATUS OF THE WHITES.

The question Of the rights of the
intermarried white men and wo-
men in the Cherokee nation, and
what disposition shall be made OF
them in the final settlement now
about TO be made, is one of the
leading topics of discussion. View
ing the matter from the standpoint
of the Cherokee constitution there
is not much left to contend over.
The white adopted people are
either citizens of the Cherokee ma
tion with all the rights of such, or
else they are not citizens. In
making up the treaty now about
to be undertaken the law undoubt-
edly should govern. If the white
adopted people demand anything
it should be no more nor less than
the law would give them. The
proposition to provide in the treaty
for the payment by the whites OF a
stipulated sum for share in the
division of land is unfair alike to
Indians and whites. If the whites
are not legally entitled to share in
the land, the Indians have no land
to sell them, and they should not
be required to sell one foot Of their
land, for they have little enough
anyway. The white adopted peo-
pie could not afford to accept that
kind of a settlement. Whatever
their property rights are under
the tribal laws they should have
and such rights can be defended in
the courts if necessary. Under
the Cherokee constitution and
laws white citizen of the nation
could sue and be sued, and exer-
else the same property rights as
could the Indian. The Cherokees
found it necessary many years ago
to assume jurisdiction over the in
termarried white people in their
country, and in order to do SO
they, by their laws, and an amend
ment to their constitution, granted
them the same rights as they
themselves enjoyed. Whether
this was wise or unwise, the ques-
tion cannot now be raised. If the
whites are entitled to full share
in the land according to the Chero-
kee law, then such rights are ves-
ted rights, and before such person
could be elected from his home, a
process of law would have to be
applied and an adverse decision of
the courts obtained.

CAPS AND APRONS.
The Housemaid Should Always Look
Clean and Trim When
on Duty.

There is nothing more important, so
far as the elegance of house is con-
cerned. than to have the maids neatly
dressed.
1t is fatal to let domestics wash their
clothes, or part of them, at home. If
this is the case, there will be a dreadful
lack of clean aprons and the cotton
dresses will be made to do duty for
fortnight. All laundries will take serv-
ants washing at certain sum per
week. In the country one can often
get this done cheaply, especially if the
maids will wash their own collars and
cuffs and caps. In town it costs more,
but it is money well spent.
1t is imperative that a maid should
have a ciean print dress every week,
and that it be well starched, CT it will
not keep clean for any length If time.
The cook. especially in town, should
wear somewhat dark print. deep
blue galatea being the best. This looks
very nice with large holland apron
and white collar and cap.
For morning wear large holland
aprons are the best. with bibs and
straps over the shoulders. A black
stuff gown should be worn in the aft
ernoon, with turnover collar and cuffs
and very large white apron. If there
is any demur about the caps, it will be
worth the mistress while to provide
them herself. The best caps are made
of frills of embroidered cambric, which
draw up with q tape and can be pulled
out fat to bewashed and ironed. These
are easily made. and all fear of the
maids appearing With q dirty, piece II
lace gathered up on their heads is
avoided. It must be understood that

cook has to answer the door she also
wears the same sort of costume. Phil

War ON Borrowed Capital.

That was a decidedly chilling blast
that swept out from Washington the
other day bearing the news that there
had been serious consultation of the
leaders over the hard, solid, unacceptable
question of money supply If there is
to be war. The fifty millions was
mere drop in the bucket. and resort
must be had to new sources of tax
alton. Beer was suggested as an avail
able source. This we say, was chilling
to those ardent patriots who cheered
when Cannon said that the fifty mil
lion which his bill proposed to put in
the presidents hands was in the treas
ury, land. therefore. there is not pre-
scented with this proposition one to Dor
row money or increase taxation, to
which almost any other nation on earth
would have been obliged to resort"
Sobered by the presence of this hard,
naatter-of-fact question of money sup
ply, some of our Republican contem-
poraries are becoming unusually truth
full; more so than was Chairman Can
non; more ingenious than he was,
would be a. better way of putting it.
They are reminding their readers that
this fifty millions is part Of the money
borrowed by President Cleveland to
keep intact the gold reserve; in fact,
to pay running expenses they say.
Never mind that the fact remains that
every dollar of that cash balance eX-
cept the Pacific roads payments, is
borrowed money; not a cent of it is
surplus. The Dingley bill is hardly yet
meeting Outgo with sufficient income.
Its receipts are yet over $40, 900 900 be-
hind expenditures. The payments on
account of the Pacific road sales bare
ly cover the excess of deficit. up to
the month of February" admits one Of
these papers, awed into candor, the
treasury was constantly running be-
hind" The first half of March shows
a deficit of $995,922.
The net cash in the treasury when
Mr.. Carlisle turned it over to Mr.. Gage
was $212, S37 ,255, the remainder Of the
$293. 900, eco realized from bond sales. On
March l, 1898, the net cash was 1925,
564,203. But this apparent increase of
$12,72694S is covered by the increase of
$i4,069, $50 deposited in the national
banks from the proceeds of the Pacific
foreclosure sales These are cold facts,
and before them the talk about having
the ships and men and money, too, van
lShes. The act of congress that de-
clared a state of war would have to
provide for additional money supply,
either by an increase of internal taxa
ton Gor external can be increased only
by lowering taxes, by borrowing on
bonds, or by authorizing another issue
of greenbacks.
