A NEW PARLIAMENTARY TRICK.

She came to congress, for at last
Oppression's hand from her had
passed.
She answered to her country's call
And raised her voice In council hall.
And yet she seemed unhappy. Men
Had made the welkin ring again
With ready and sincere applause
For what she said about the laws.
Fen while she spoke, shadow spread
Across her face. The Joy was sped.
Some potent spell seemed to assail,
At last they saw her courage fail.
A simple sentence wrought her woe.
A fellow membress whispered low
The message of dismay and hate
My dear, your hat is not on straight"

Britain has been to some extent cured
OF the erroneous belief which she
formerly entertained about the I'M
provised diplomacy OF the United
States.
But that the belief still holds In Eu-
rope IL plain. Even Bonaparte who
was more of democrat than the
sale OF Louisiana indicated that he was
a sincere friend OF this country, could
not always repress this prevailing feel
ing OF European court noodles, He
once remarked, referring to Chancellor
Livingston, who was hard OF hearing,
and to John Armstrong. his successor,
who could not talk French, The
United States Is represented at the
French court by deaf and dumb en-
bassles. The opinions Europeans en-
tertained about our ambassadors ex-
iended also to the statesman for whom
rotary OF state. And whenever an
American secretary OF state outwitted
his dllletante European brother he was
charged with using the language OF
bounce and braggadocia, which the
superior nature Of the foreigners did
not pretend to quite understand. Thus
sweet hypocrisy still parted the stun
ming blow: and the practice Of this
form Of discrimination was in his view
one of the fine points OF diplomacy
that Andrew Jackson seotched In his
day, but which Cleveland and Olney
Mckinley and Day have forever made
impossible in the relations OF the
Gnited States with the chancellors

NATIVE MANILA HEMP.

Manila hemp, Of which we have al
heard at times. Is one OF those pro
ducts which thrive only In certain
tain parts OF the Philippines, where
II Is cultivated by the natives. Tar
tibre Is still produced in the old native
way. by scraping the leaves with .
peculiar knife. which requires expert
handling. Numberless contrivancss
to supersede this simple process lave
been tried and patented, but without
success. The native way is still the
best. and 1t produces fine fibre. Of
which thread is spun and cloth woven
that excels the best Tussore silk.

DOODLE TRIUMPHANT.
Scandal and Corruption Of Hanna's
Election.

Election.
Mark Hanna has again proved HIM
self a good business man." After
hard and personally conducted fight he
has secured the delivery Of the goods"
he had bought. He was elected senator
from Ohio for seven years
This result is the most shameless and
scandalous triumph of corruption ever
known in our political history. Seven
republican members Of the legislature
united in charging bribery upon Ham
ma and his agents and in demanding an
investigation Of the charges. Five OF
these pledged themselves to vote for
Hanna. in spite of their determined OPP
position TO his election. II the charges
of bribery were shown 10 be untrue
Yet by single vote in joint session The
demand was ignored and the great
boodler was elected.
II was fitting climax TO this brazen
performance that the republican MEM
bers, who had TO be kept under guard
to insure their staying bought" joined
In singing "Praise God, from whom all
blessings flow," when the infamy was
consummated. Snug hypocrisy and

DISCARD FALSE FRIENDS.
The Apostacy of n Former Advocate
Of Free silver.

As might have been expected. the
gold-advocating press Is rejoicing over
the flop TO the gold standard made by
the New York Journal. But the gold
men admit the fact well known TO dem
ocrats that the Journal never was sim
cere friend % pmetallism, and that n
practically abandoned the cause after
the election OF Mckinley. In this con-
nection a leading republican morning
newspaper of Chicago says: That the
New York Journal has seeded from the
Bryan cause has been known since tho
reputation OF the sixteen TO one fall
lacy al the polls; but that journal never
before has made an open stand against
the perlpatetic statesman from Ne
braska." False friends are more dan
gerous than open enemies. and the de-
lection of the Journal is a gain rather
than loss TO democracy. The cause OF
the people cannot be injured by the
apostacy Of one nor of dozen newspa-
pers: the only injury that can be done
the cause must come from the people
themselves. There may be leaders in
democratic ranks who are merely mas
cueradiny rs friends of blmetallism.
The time has come for them to declare
themselves. There is but one question
OF vital importance to this nation. and
that is the question of the currency
The fact is recognized by the people,
and 6.500.000 democratic voters record
ed their demand for the restoration OF
the money of the constitution at the
polls in November. 1896. Let all those
who secretly believe in the creed of gold
abandon their ambush. The people de-
mand true service. and insist on know
| ing who are friends and who are foes.

RED CROSS WORK.
An Opportunity for Many Persons
to Help 1t Along.

The good women of the First Baptist
Church. assisted by their pastor, Rev.
A. b. Banks, have resolved to try a
method of their own for helping along
the work of the Red Cross Society.
This afternoon and evening the ladies
will serve ice-cream and cake, coffee
and sandwiches, in the spacious YES
tibule of the Metropolitan Theater the
proceeds to be turned over TO the Red
Cross Society.
This should prove a very effective
method of swelling the fund, and all
who can find a little spare change
should patronize those who give their
time and efforts to help along the noble
cause. OF course the ice-cream, cake.
coffee and sandwiches will be of the
best. and will be nicely and cheaply
served
