UNFADING COTTON DYES.
Special Fast Diamond Dyes for Cotton
That Will Not Wash Out with Soap
or Fade in the Sunlight.

1t is absolutely impossible to get q
fast and satisfactory color on cotton
from the same dyes as used for WOOL
en- goods, and for that reason Dia-
mond Dyes have a specially prepared
line of fast colors for cotton that will
give perfect satisfaction. BE sure to
get the fast cotton dyes, and you can
make colors that even washing in
strong soapsuds and exposure TO the
sunlight will not fade.
Do not risk spelling your goods
with dyes that claim 10 color both
cotton and wool with the same dye, as
they are liable to ruin your material
and u the loss of your time and
work. Some dealers try to sell new
and untried dyes in place of the old
reliable Diamond Dyes, but this is
simply because they can buy them
cheaper than the Diamond.

The present system of legislative
representation in Vermont finds a
warm defender in the Rutland Herald.
1t say that the House was never in
tended to be a popular body, that quail
ity being imposed on the Senate. OF
the two bodies rs constituted, the Her
aid claims that the House is always a
superior body, both in intelligence
and scrupulousness. The Senate often
contains men who could never be
elected rs representatives of their own
towns but who, by adroit wirepulling
at conventions, manage to secure NOM
nation to the Senate, which is equiva-
lent to election. The contemporary
AYERS that this same abuse would be
more widespread and harmful il the
House were chosen in the same way.
1t points to the Vermont House of rep
resentatives us a model legislative
body. As a clincher the Herald saws
that any change is entirely out of the
question and all talk about it wasted.
The brother is right in his final conclu-
sion and he states his case fairly and
ably. However, it seems unjust to al
low the little back towns such a pre-
~ponder&nce in voting strength and
certainly a House of 80 to 100 MEM
bers would be large enough to handle
all the business with care, economy
and despatch and too large to be +
rupted. 1t would be just as easy to
make the earth revolve the other way
on its axis as to bring about any
change in this matter.

Mr.. Bryan does not seem to consider
free-silver talk worth paying for. AT
least he offered to lecture at Ann Arbor
for nothing if permitted to discuss his
so-called bimetallism, but for talking
on other subjects he required fifty per
cent of the gross receipts.
The above is a fair sample of the rot
that is sent to country editors for use
as editorial matter by a concern in
Washington that claims to act under
the auspices of the Republican cam
paign bureau, we believe. Some tired
individuals among the brethren in Yer
mont are guilty of using this stuff occa-
sionally. As to the reference to Mr..
Bryan, it is evidently a sign of his de-
votion to free silver that he is willing
to lecture on that theme free. Why

What does maintaining the gold

mean substituting some new-tangled
device of some association of bankers

the latter, where is the warrant for it !
Certainly not in the St. Louis platform,
which was purely defensive of the
present system, except the clause re-
lating to a bimetallic agreement with
other nations. The Republican party
never pronounced in favor of a with
drawal of the greenbacks. Further, it
never will. Certain bankers would
like to have the government 90 out OF
the banking business so that they
might furnish a currency at a heavy
annual charge on the people and an
immense profit to themselves but these
are only Il mere handful of the total
party vote. They are trying to scare
people by declaring that the currency
is unsafe. Nothing indicates it. No
