house; it shall not fan. The saying Of
our prophet--Our Daniel-is fulfilled.
The sons Of the Pilgrims have crossed
the Mississippi and possess the shores
Of the Pacific. The tree our fathers set
covered at first a little space by the sea-
side. It has planted its banyan
branches in the ground. It has spread
along the lakes. It has girdled the gulf.
It has SPAWNED the Mississippi. 1t has
covered the prairie and the plain. The
sweep of its lofty arches rises over the
Rocky mountains and the Cascades and
the Nevadas It's hardy growth shell
tiers the frozen region OF the northwest.
It's boughs hang over the Pacific. And
in time-In good tlme-it viii send It's
roots beneath the waves and receive
under It's vast canopy the islands Of the
sea-"
In the light of these words. spoken
almost with the inspiration OF the
prophet, 1t is dificult to reconcile the
senator's present attitude towards the
Philippine question with his sentiments
as to the destiny OF the republic In
1895. In good time we hope to see the
senator again take up the subject where
he left of four years ago, and continue
with US in our trlumphal and civllizlng
march to the open doors Of China"
Senator Hoar is too good Republican
and too perspicuouS statesman to
continue in the company he is keeping.

Thanksgiving TOPICS.

New York Post: When 1t is proposed
to make the Thanksgiving table first Of
all typical, 1t may be decorated after
the following fashion: Select a large
rich colored pumpkin, scoop It out clean
OF seeds and stuff it with crushed tissue
paper nearly to the top. Arrange in 1t
fruit, apples. pears, figs and grapes.
omitttug oranges and bananas, the col
orlng Of which does not harmonize with
the pumpkin tint. The clusters OF
grapes should be arranged to fall over
the top Of the pumpkin, adding to the
grace Of ehe centreplece. smilax, too,
may trail from the fruit mould over the
pumpkin and along the table in lrreg-
ular effective lines. With this decora-
ton may be used carrot candleholders.
These are made from large, equal-sized
carrots cut of smoothly at the larger
end, each to hold a candle sunk in a
socket cut out for that purpose. There
may be four or six of these large ones,
or, II preferred. small one, holding a
small candle with tiny shade. at each
plate. II few large carrots are used
as candle-holders, tiny individual
pumpkins may stand at each cover,
holding small flowers. or fitted with a
little paper case in which may be bon
bons or salted almonds.
One of the most effective table ar
rangements of flowers for the Thanks
giving board is the combination Of yell
low chrysanthemums and punches Of
English violets. The flowers may be
mingled in mould or in a large bunch,
thrust into jar or vase. The vIoIets
are made into punches and tied to the
end of stick in order to be In evidence
with their big companions.
stu another effective arrangement is
centrepIece Of autumn leaves. with
the shades Of the candelabra giving the
same effect. These shades may be
bought at the shops, or II one has Sc
cured a supply Of autumn leaves, 1t Is
easy to fasten them on white shades, or
on those family tinted In yellow with
equally good effect.
The housekeeper who finds herself
obliged to resort to the use of dried
pumpkin or pumpkin -four for her
Thanksgiving pics will find her effort
most successful II sho will brown either
the dried vegetable or the -four. Spread
on a plate and set in the oven to take
on a decided color. This process has
been found to add greatly to the rich
ness and flavor OF the pies.
At some tables, when raw oysters are
served, small napkin is laid over the
bed of crushed ice, and the shells are
sunk down into the napkin. This holds
the water If the Ice should melt a little,
and prevents 1t SoIlIng the table linen
in case the plate is taken up carelessly
by the waitress.

NOT AZ AM STARTLING.

Congressman Freer's specific an
nouncement that he Is a candidate for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor does not carry with 1t the startling
features and Generalization Of the Re-
publicans In the state that some OF our
anxious Democratic friends would have
the public believe.
1t has been known for some time back
that Mr.. Freer was in tentative mood,
and his emphatic avowal only clears a
conjectura! atmosphere, Mr.. Frcer's
qualifications are ample for the post Of
honor he seeks. Mr.. A. B. White quite
awhile ago made 1t plain that he would
consider it high honor for his party to
bestow upon him the nomination, and
since then has been pursuing the even
tenor Of his way willing to let the judy
ment Of the convention pass upon his
merits or the availability of any other
man It may see At to consider.
The convention is long way in the
future, and there is no doubt as the
time draws near for Its converting there
will be other candidates Just as COM
petent and Just as available as Mr..
Freer or Mr.. White, who may take a
notion to contest for the prize. No
mater who is chosen the party will be
united for the nominee, and II the
Democrats expect or hope for any dis
senslons arising out OF the dIsappoInt-
ment of any one candidate they might
as well dlsabuse their minds of any
such conditions arising.

Inasmuch as the Maryland Democratic

been made that International Democracy

statement that the Democracy arraLgns

Democratic Campaign Fund Scheme.
A. w. Thomas, the financial agent OF
the Democratic national committee. is
now in the "eftete east" promoting a
novel plan for raising money for the
campaign Of 1900. Once this was the
country of the enemy to Bryan. but now
1t appears to be George Fred Williams
country, as George Fred has vice presi-
dental aspirations. Mr.. Thomas is
now stopping in Boston to get on n sup
ply Of culture before approaching the
people for their coin. His scheme con-
templates a pledge by the members OF
the party to give 81 down and 81 a
month up to and including October.
1900. It IS sort OF companion scheme
to "coin" Harvey's which did not
EructIfy to any alarming extent.
Mr.. Thomas is given certificate of
character by Chairman Drtnkwater, OF
the Massachusetts Democratic execu-
tive committee, SO that he may go forth
In the vineyard and gather the golden
grapes of the rank and file OF the Bay
State Democracy without being ques-
toned as to his authenticity or being
Knocked for a confidence man. Chairy
man Drlnkwater in his bulletin to the
people, after explaining the features of
Mr.. Thomas mission, drops into a
congratulatory vein as follows: 1.-THE
results of the state elections this fall,
as seen in the success in redeeming
Maryland and Kentucky, in largely In
creasing the Democratic majority in
Nebraska, and polling an anti-MclIln-
ley majority in Ohio, absolutely as
sures us OF victory in the presidential
election"
This is the sort OF mama the Demo-
cratic children are being fed with while
wandering In the wilderness of despair.
"Redeeming Maryland" is good, when
the Democrats of that state would have
nothing to do with the Chicago plat
form, and when the Republican plural
ity in.Kentucky is acknowledged to be
nearly 4,OOO-a state where Mr.. Bryan
exhausted his best efforts for the DEM
ocratlc nominee and incidentally for
himself II such things as these are as
surances Of Democratic victory In the
next presidential election the party is
welcome to hug these deluslons as tight
as they please.

airline and the Devil,

Airline HardIne, the younger daughter
OF Mr. and Mrs, H. W. HardIne. Is a
very quiet person. but she has phIlo-
sophlcal and deeply inqulring mind.
Also. she is especially attracted to all
subjects of religion.
One day, when she was four years old,
she inquired of her father concerning
the personality OF the devil. She had
never been taught anything Of his sa-
tanic majesty by her mother. and GER
tain information from outside quarters
came as news to her. Her father, be-
ing possessed Of spirit of mischief.
wIckedness or orthodoxy. gave Airline a
straight, orthodox description OF Luci-
fer, tall, cloven hOofs, sulphurous smell
and all, and finished with the remark:
You'd better take care and be good, or
you may see him." Airline listened,
made note and inwardly digested.
For the next week the region where
Satan Is suppose to live was to pay
in the house. Airline told "tarradlddles'
like anythinc She played with fire. She
ran away. She deliberately cribbed
things There was no let-up. Finally,
Saturday night came, and Arline's
mother was in tears. She had labored
with her daughter with voice, prayer
and slipper. and Airline lay unrepentant
on a bed in the next room. To her came
her father. airline" said he, what's
the meaning Of all this! What has
come over you in week to turn the
house upside dowr, and drive YOU:
mother nearly distracted? What do
you mean by it,"
Airline whimpered: well. papa" she
snIvelled, plaitively: 1--WE tried this
whole week to see the devil. and
haven't seen him once!"
Orthodoxy Is now inspected before It
is taught to ArlIne-Denver News.
