In New York a Republican leg
islature passed law taxing fran
chises; in Missouri Democratic
legislature, ostensibly an antitrust
body, voted down such measure.
In Arkansas a Democratic legisla-
turc passed an antitrust law, and
a Democratic state court knocked
it out with constitutional club
From all this it can only be inferred
that the antitrust policy Of the
Democrats is only a hoodwink to
blind the people that the part,
may get the Offices.

What Has Been Done by MaChin.
cry.

BY the aid of improved mach
inery, that which at the beginning
of the century was the luxury of
the rich is now the comfort of the
poor. Material and labor are no
longer the sole factors of produc-
ton. Assisted by machinery and
tools, mans labor now converts
the raw materials of nature into
the useful, necessary, and in
some cases, even the artistic para
phernalia Of civilization with one
third of the exertion formerly ne
ccssary. Even Russia, the latest
competitor in the industrial field,
has, with the aid of machinery,
more than doubled, since 1861, the
individual output of those employ
ed in her manufactures. In the
course of twenty years Qe70-1S90)
the number of persons employed
in the American manufactures has
more than doubled, and the value
of their product has nearly treb!ed.
| mention these facts to show the
important part that machinery
now plays in modern Industrial
warfare. Few realize or stop to
think how much we are indebted
to the inventor ard machine de-
signer for the comforts, luxuries
and necessities of our daily life.
The loom which weaves our silks,
cottons and woolcns; the harvest
ing machines which reap our corn;
the machinery which forms our
bricks and mixes our mortar; the
printing machine which makes our
penny daily possible. Our food,
clothing, furniture, literature.
all are produced on machinery
which it is practically impossible
to make or maintain without the
modern machine tooi.-Engineer-
ing Magazine.

Fancy Shirt Waists for Autumn and
other Finery Tor Up to Date
Dressers.

Red and pink have taken very many
of the foremost seats in fashions court
this season.
The mania for braiding dresses, and,
for that matter, for braiding nearly
every article Of wear, is likely to con-
tinue.
There will be no end of fancy shirt
waists this autumn to wear with tailor
made coats and skirts of cloth, tweed or
cheviot.
Venetian pink" is the name of new,
peculiar and becoming shade of rose
that appears among tulles, velvets and
ribbons for collars, bows, rosettes and
millinery uses.
Some of the newest shirred tunics,
matching the open bodice and sleeves in
fabric, are rounded at the lower edge
and are so short that they look extreme
ly like the panniers of other days.
The new supple weaves of taffeta silk
will be in great demand this fall, both
for gowns and accessories, to say moth
ing of the pretty dotted and striped pat
terms and the weaves barred with satin
in contrasting colors for fancy waists.
To combine with the lustrous pcau
de sole silks and soft corded failles will
be set forth rich, beautiful autumn
brooches and pomuadour matelasses in
lovely colors mingled with pale gold or
olive gray and woven in rare designs
which could have originated nowhere
outzide of France.-Philadelphia Times.

glass houses from throwing stones. The
methods of carrying elections in some
States of the South are sufficiently notori-
Gus. They have been shown up too often
to need specification, and, indeed, they are
scarcely denied, except in Congressional
investigations. Tennessee is as deeply
stained with ballot.box thievery as any of
her sister States and it certainly does not
become a Tennessee paper to raise the cry
of fraud against Bryan in connection with
election of 1896"

have to be confessed of q Southern State.

GOOD TO REMEMBER.
Events Which Will Not Pass from
the Recollection of the Present
Generation.
Cleveland Leader" rep,

Cleveland Leader" (Rep).
Because the Greeks had sacked one of
his cities and had destroyed hia most sa-
cred temple, Darius, King of the Persians,
had his cup-bearer say to him three times
each day. "Master, remember the Athen-
ians." And Darius remembered them.
Four years ago every man in America
was feeling the pinch of hard times. In
1892 business everywhere was good. The
busy and prosperous voters, however, dld
not remember the Athenians.
Grover Cleveland and his party were
listened to while they preached ca
lamty. Cleveland put in fine crop and
the people reaped Dragons teeth from the
day he was inaugurated until the Repub-
licans again came into the government
at Washington.
This State and this city were dreary
spots on the map of the world four years
ago. The smoke nuisance was not mat
ter of discussion at that time. Miles and
miles of empty freight cars stood upon
grass.grown side-tracks and idle locomo-
tiyes filled the roundhouses at every rail
way center.
The smoking valleys of Ohio smoked no
more and furnaces, boarded up and cold,
looked like huge sentinels of disaster and
despair. Along the lake shore in Cleve-
land, which is now roaring with machine
ry and alive with men at work, there was
desolation from Rocky River to Gordon
Park.
In Newberg idle Americans walked the
streets, and we'll they remembered the
Athenians. Thrice each day, when they
sat down to eat, they, like Darius of old,
kept in mind the enemies who had
brought disaster upon them. Little bank
counts melted away in those distressing
DAYS. Little homes were lost, and others
had mortgages put upon them, so that
women and children should be fed and
clothed.
Honest men who had never eaten of the
the bread of charity were driven to the
in6rmary by the hunger of their families.
In the cutters scraping the mud from the
streets for miserable pittance were skill
ed mechanics-the victims of Democracy's
greed for office and Democracys scheme
of government.
And then came Republican President.
The whole face of nature, one might say,
was changed in the twinkling of an eye.
Prosperity was no laggard, but came back
by leaps and bounds. Now the thunder
of machinery calls all men to work. The
land is fat and full of sunshine. The saw
ings banks-the banks where ge.earners
do busness-tell in big and eloquent tg'
ures the story of Americas prosperity and
of the wisdom and patriotism of Republi-
can control.

he was in as good, if not better, health as
he was two years ago.
George Gould, who has the fox-hunting
fever very badly, has just purchased out

fox-hounds in England.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox thinks the success
full man sis one who has made a happy
home for his wife and children, no matter
what he has done in the way Of winning
money or fame"
1t is stated that Miss Adelaide Everhardt,
who painted the life.size picture of ex.
Speaker Charles F. Crisp for the Georgia
State Capitol Building, has been engaged
to paint a similar portrait of the late Con.
gresham Bland.
Dean E. A. Hoffman, of the Union
theological Seminary, New York, and the
richest clergyman in this country, began
his career in the church as rector of st.
Marks Church, in Philadelphia. and organ
lied the St. Marks Workingmen's Club.
Thomas Balm, the new Speaker Of the
Canadian lower house, is of lanky build,
feet inches in height, and looks q
typical rustic. This has gained him the
nickname of "Farmer." He speaks in the
usual sing-song way of Maine and Vermont
farmers.

According to Captain Coghlan, when
Dewey sailed into Manila harbor, fought
bis battle and then cut the cable, the
English Admiral wanted to help him, but
diden't dare. However, he thought that
Dewey might take hint. So he sailed
over to Dewey and said: "Ah, see you
have cut cable. ""Yes," answered Dewey.
(which one?" ASKED the innocent Eng
lish Admiral And then Dewey knowing
for the first time there were two cables,
rushed back, grappled for the second cable
and cut it.

General Funston, who las just reached
San Francisco, adds his voice to that of
Admiral Dewey, Professor Schurman and
all of the others who have had official re-
lations with the Filipinos by declaring
their unftness for selfgovernment. The
only persons who pretend to the contrary
are Edward Atkinson and q few others
who probably never saw a Filipino.
AS all the evidence shows that the Fill.
pinos are unfit for selfgovernment, how
would the United States stand before the
civilized world if it withdrew from the
islands and left the people there to rapine,
murder, plllage and anarchy? The eighty
tribes, speaking many different tongues,
could no more live in peace together than
traditional Kilkenny cats.
The United States is responsible for the
property and lives of the foreigners living
on the islands. AS nation we took over
that responsibility from Spain as a result
of the war to lberate Cuba. We cannot
evade or renounce the responsibility. For
egn governments would not premit US to
do so if we were sufficiently cowardly and
constituencies to attempt it. What other
proposition is submitted by the socalled
ant-imperalists? Bishop Potter says that
we should call an international congress
and let it dispose Of the islands. That is a
cowardly proposition which not one man
in 10000 in the United States would en-
terrain. And what prospect is there that
such a gathering could agree upon the
question? None whatever, as any sensible
man knows.
The Hoar- Mason proposition is to estab-
lish the islands in self-government. But
who knows best as to the ability of the
eighty tribes to carry on government,
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Mason, neither one Of
whom probably ever saw Filipino. or
Admiral Dewey, General Merritt, Presi-
uGuJ DCHuIuidlIJ AiOlCoSt HOASS~SSii
ex-Minister DENLY and all the others who
have officially Investigated the matter?
Self-government is now impossible. When
it is possible, in the future, what is to
binder Congress from establishing it, if
that be the wish of the country?
The opposition to the Government in its
policy of suppressing the Tagal rebellion
and in establishing peace and order on the
islands is nothing less than "copperhead-
ism,'' mild form of treason. The words
of President Polk, in message to Con-
gress in 1876, are very appropriate for this
time. He said: GA more efectual means
could not have been devised to encourage
the enemy and protract the war than to
advocate and adhere to their calse and
thus give them aid and comfort But
that is what the "anti-imperialists' '-all
with very few exceptions, free trade
Democrats-are now doing. It is their
reasonable work that has prolonged the
rebellion.

ODD INDIAN CUSTOM.
The Hunlapnis of the American DeS-
ert Rake Up Stones Into
Long Windows.

Near the town called The Needles,
about IL miles across the Colorado
river, on the California side, writes
w. E. Curtis, from Flagstaff, Ariz., to
the Chicago Record, is an area of
about 1000 acres, more or less, where
the Hulapais Indians rake up the stones
in windows in most mysterious man
ner and for a reason that has never
been satisfactorily explained to the
white citizen of that section.
It is dreary and dusty desert. Rain
seldom falls. The surface OF the
ground, hard clay that has been bak-
ing in the sun for centuries, is covered
with broken lava and pumice stone,
which at some time was discharged
from one of the great volcanoes, whose
silent craters can be seen in the San
Bernardino mountains. This is the or
binary appearance of the country for
leagues around. You can travel an hour,
or ten hours, for that matter, in any di-
rection away from the river bed, with
out seeing anything green or any plant
or thing of life, except a cactus or a
sage bush. Under the shadow of a
group of mighty hills is mesa, or table
land, that is almost level, and there,
once a year, upon some anniversary,
whose significance is not understood,
and cannot be ascertained, the In
dams of the Hualapais tribe gather at
night and rake the lava and pumice
stones into windrows. Some of the wind
rows are two miles long. They are reg
ular in length and in intervals, and the
average height is about IL or is inches,
just about the height of windrow of
hay left by. horserake in a meadow.
