DEMOCRATS DONE FOR
Political Oblivion the Portion of tn e
Instructors of National
Progress.

The senatorial deadlocks in Della
ware and Pennsylvania, where I'M
doubtedly republicans ultimately will
be elected. make but two places to be
filled in the representation from the
territory lying east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio in the new United
States senate which will take Office on
the 4th of March.
In this entire territory there will be
after the 4th of March not single
democratic United States senator. This
great territory, which contains by the
census of 1890, 35,4s5,726 population out
of the 61,9OS,906 population in the
United States and far greater proper
ton of the wealth of the country, was
always republican, but never before in
the history of the United States has
one political party in the upper branch
of congress monopolized its representa-
ton. There must be cause for this
remarkable regeneration, and it is not
hard to find. The majority of the peo-
pie of this portion of the country are
given over to practical rather than
sentimental pursuit of life, liberty and
happiness, and in the republican party
is seen the only possible chance for sta
bility in the government at Washing
ton. The people of this portion of the
country. however, in spite of their re-
publicanism-much of it newly ac-
guired-are intensely critical and hold
therepublican party and the men whom
that party places in Office to a strict
accountability for their public acts.
1t probably will be some years be-
fore another democrat sits in the SEN
ate to represent a portion of any state
in this great stretch of country from
New Brunswick to the Mississippi,
That party has itself alone to blame.
1t has set itself against progress in
business and against honesty in our
currency. and those democrats who
hereabouts discard the platform of their
party are insignificant in its councils,
helpless to steer their political craft
away from the political oblivion in
which it soon will be submerged.-A-
bany Journal.

A FIRM STANDARD.
The Gold Standard Is the Worlds
Standard and Republicans
VIII Adhere to 1t.

The republican majority of the house
committee on coinage has presented
unanimous report in favor OF the Hill
currency bill. The intention of this
bill may be best expressed in the Ian
guage of the report itself, which says:
1.-THE purpose of this bill is to set at rest
al questions as to the existing legal unit
of value in this country and to remove all
doubt in relation thereto; to protect and
sire ngthen the credit of the United States
and the honor of its citizens. to insure the
permanent equality and value in the hands
of the people of every dollar of the United
States and of every kind of our currency
of the same denomination; to hold in free
and unhampered circulation all kinds OF
our present currency, and to provide an
adequate amount of circulating medium of
stable value to transact the business of
the country"
This purpose is evidently in harmony
with the long-continued policy and with
the declarations of the republican
party. That party would favor a BIZ
metallic standard if it were the worlds
standard, but as the worlds standard
is persistently gold the republican par
ty would have the gold standard recog-
nized by the law of the country, and all
kinds of currency made conformable
thereto. Hear again the language of
the committee on this point:
"A double bimetallic standard is i'm
tcable-impossible A bimetallic cur
rency is practicable and desirable, and is
promoted, strengthened and fortified by
this bill. We adopt gold as the standard
because it is the most stable in value and
hence the most just and safe standard by
which to measure other values. We pro-
mote the convenience of the people by
providing an adequate supply of both ST.,
yer and gold in our currency, but we can
only do it with justice to them by protect
ing them from the possible depreciation of
silver in their hands, and hence we throw
about silver such safeguards. by limiting
its coinage and providing for its exchange,
as will maintain its parity with our gold
and paper currency"
The present senate is a bar TO cur
rency legislation. But this unanimous
republican report indicates that the
party is not afraid of the currency
question, and that its confidence is
| based upon an adherence to the sound
principles that have guided finauciers
the world over.-Troy Times.

A HANDY WOKKBAG.
Like That Pictured mt a Tri-
fling Expense.

As workings are indispensable, new
ones are always being fashioned. While
this ore may hot be new to all, it is
very likely that it will be new to many.
In almost every house there. is an old
camp stool lying idle, which is just
what we want. You will need piece Of
cloth about yard square. Denim
cretonne, calico or any similar cloth
will do nicely. Turn down a hem say
three inches on all four sides and stitch
it on the machine. Then an inch nearer
the edge of each side make another
row of machine stitching thus leaving
space for drawing string.

gather the string until the cloth fits the
four sides of the stool, then tie in a
dainty but tight bow. Tack the cloth
securely into place. AS you will note,
when not in use the stool workbag car
be closed as any ordinary camp stool,
without disturbing its contents. Some
slight change may have to be made in
the dimensions here given. because Of
the difference in size of camp stools;
but the practical worker will have little
or no difficulty in fashioning a very
capacious and handy work bag Emma

Dainty Flannel sachet.

To scent bureau drawer nicely take
a piece of flannel cut to fit the bottom
of the drawer and sprinkle it with good
perfume. Now wrap quantity Of
sachet powder in it and put away in an
air tight box. At the end of a month
you will find that you have a piece OF
perfectly scented flannel which will
hold its odor for years. Shake out the
flannel and lay it in the bottom of the

women with Big Hands.

The bicycle craze has had the effect
of increasing the size of woman's hands.
Glove makers say that where they for
merly made six as the average size of a
woman's glove, they are now compelled
to make them half size larger. Won.
en- who were proud of their little hands
are now showing big hands with quite
as much pride. 1t must be borne in
mind that the big hand must be well
groomed, for small defects which
would pass unnoticed in the tiny hands
become very conspicuous in the big one.

Wool made from rock is destined to
enter into competition with the sheep
which have been producing the article
for so many years. A chemist for a
big steel plant has accomplished the
feat, and from combination of "a per

OF the commonest of minerals, turns
out pure wool, as white as the driven
snow and as downy as the futfiiest cot
