Cushman Answered.
C0mmOner,

Congressman Cushman, who now
represents this State at Washington,
created quite a laugh by his first
speech in the House when he said
among other things:
al know Bryan as we'll as if l had
been through him with lantern.
The trouble with Bryan, and with
most of you gentlemen on the other
side. is that in your arguments you
are SO crooked you cannot walk
around the block without meeting
yourself on the other side"
The next day there was another
laugh in the House but Cushman did
not join in it. Congressman Robin
son, Democrat from Nebraska, de-
voted about minute to Cushman.
He referred to him as " the brand new
soap bubble filled with Nebraska
wind" and said that the soap out OF
which the bubble was formed came
out of the Republican congressional
campaign fund. The wind came from
everywhere. The bubble touched the
earth for the first time at Tacoma,
Washington, and from there rebound
ed and scared eastward until it Ia nded
at the Capitol and exploded in the
hall of the House of Representatives
on Wednesday afternoon, when the
gentleman from Washington spoke.
"That gentleman" said he, is so
small compared with the man he has
assailed with his 'going through Mr..
Bryan with lantern,' from an intel
lectual standpoint, that he could be
likened only to lightning bug wan
dering through the vast recesses Of the
Mammoth cave of Kentucky"

Judging Table Linen.

There is nothing 50 difficult to
judge as table linen; no fabric where
adulterations or exact qualities are so
difficult to discern, says Ella Morris
Kretchmar in the WOman's Home
Companion. In other than high
grade establishments, where one must
depend upon personal judgment for
the purity of the fabric, there are a
few points to keep in mind. Pure
linen is hard and slippery, never soft
and pliable. II moistened finger be
applied to an all.linen cloth the mois-
ture will at once appear on the other
side, whereas in mixed goods it will
appear slowly or not at all. The fax
odor is always noticeable in linens,
and every woman should learn to rec
ognize it or its absence.

Who Are the Antis7

Our Republican friends have always
taken delight in asserting that the
Democratic party never has any pol
icy of its own but is simply opposed
to Republicanism, that its platforms
are made up of negative instead Of
positive planks. This criticism may
have had some force up to 1896 but it
did not apply last year and will not
this. In the approaching campaign
the Republicans will, in all probable
ity, be the antis.
The Democratic platform will de-.
msnd bimetallism. The Republicans
will oppose it.
The Democratic platform will de-
mand that the Declaration of Inde-
pendence be upheld and that the Fill
pinos be given their independence.
The Republicans will be against it.
The Democratic platform will de-
mand adherency to the Monroe doc.
trine. The Republicans will oppose
it.
The Democratic platform vii de.
mand specific legislation against the
trusts. The Republicans will oppose
it.
The Democratic platform will de-
mand An income tax. The Republi-
cans will oppose it.
These will probably be the principal
national issues in the approaching
campaign and on all of them the Re-
publicans will occupy the position of
antis

peraIism.

perialism.
Philadelphia North American (Rep).
Mr.. Mckinley, by advocating free
trade with Puerto Rico, shows how
abhorrent the imperial scheme is to
him. AS a candidate for reelection,
he is naturally anxious that the Demo-
cratic opposition should not be given
the position OF defender of the Declar-
alton OF Independence and the consti-
tuition of the United States. If the
people of any territory are not good
enough to be received into the Ameri-
can family, at least on probation, why
have anything to do with them? the
Democrats will ask. If we cannot
take Puerto Rico in and give her peo.
pie the privileges guaranteed by the
constitution, would it not be sensible
to let them set up for themselves and
make their own tariffs, giving us pre-
ferential rates in exchange for the pro-
lection of the Monroe doctrine?
President Mckinley is a very prac-
tical man, and therefore not to be cas-
lily led off into political experiments.
He does not want his party to 60 into
the campaign as the representative of
an imperial policy that would have to
be defended by elaborate legal argu-
ments. The lawyer who has to stick
to technicalities in addressing jury is
not SO happily circumstanced as is his
opponent who stands on general prin-
ciples and makes his appeal to the
heart and the inherited prejudices of
the men in the box The President
doubtless fears that a party which
seeks to put outside OF the constitu-
ton any people who have been
brought under the American flag may
be regarded as revolutionary, and so
subject itself to the danger of being
put out of Office.
Which is the better guide for the
Republican party in this matter-the
Republican President, viewing the
field largely, or the Republican Con-
gress, which is yielding to the pressure
of special interests that find them
selves threatened by expansion? Are
the American people ready to adopt
imperialism? Congress takes it for
granted that they are, but they have
not yet had an opportunity to speak
upon the issue at the polls. Is it safe
to try new experiments with the peo-
pie when the Presidency is at stake?

The Bryan Mystery.

Editors in the far East are wonder.
ing of what they term "the Bryan
mystery" They admit his tour in
New England, so far as popular
demonstration goes, has no parallel
in history. They picture him as "a
middle.sized, rather feshy man, in an
absurdly Western black cutaway suit,
baggy trousers, coat wrinkled with
travelling, an odd, low vest, with white
studs in the expanse of shirt front, q
very low collar, and tie black string
tie of the Western country lawyer"
The Springfield Republican observes
" Account for it as you will, depreciate
this man as you please, he appeals to
the masses and they hear him gladly"
Another editor in New York remarks,
"I begin to think that Hanna is 60
ing to elect this man from Nebraska
President of the United States"
The fact remains that the Eastern
folk have been SO long used to the
staggering airs and mock dignity of so.
called statesmen whose flatulent stom-
achs are disguised in Prince Alberts and
their thoughtless noodles in shining
silk hats that plain man OF the
people is rated as a back number
when he appeared among them with
real message to mankind. In
the West plug hat is generally
taken as the mark of fakir, but
in Congress Eastern people wonder
how the glossy beaver can cover all
the average politician knows. Bryan
is the Mirabeau of the times; the one
Demosthenian orator who lays his
heart and brain on the altar of his
country. Long before he was nomi-
mated for the Presidency he was rec
ognized by observers as the peer of the
greatest orators, and with the thought
of a man, the courage of lion and
the conscience of q woman, he flung
himself like gladiator into the arena
of Congress, and the plain people are
just beginning to appreciate him.

MODERN WHIST IN RHYME.

If you the modern game of whist would know,
From this great principle its precepts flow;
Treat your own hand as to your partners
Joined,
And play, not one alone, but both combined.
Your first lead makes your partner understand
"hat Is the chief component OF your hand,
And hence there is necessity the strongest,
That your first lead be from your snit that 8
longest.
In this with ace and king. lead king, then ace:
With king and queen, king also has first place;
With zee, queen, knave, lead ace and then the
queen,
seen.
With queen. knave, ten, you let the queen pre-
cede,
In other cases you the lowest lead.
Ere you return your friends, your own suit
play,
But trumps you must return without delay.
when you return your partners lead take pains
To give him back the best your hand contains
III You receive not more than three at first,
If you had more, you may return the worst.
DuI ii you nOlu tne master caro-. you re bound
To play 1t, in most cases, second round;
When ere you want lead, tie seldom wrong
To lead cup to the weak" or Through the
strong
In second hand your lowest shonld be played,
Unless you mean trump slgnal' to be made;
Or if you have king and queen or ace and king,
Then one of these will be the proper thing.
Mind we'll the rule for trumps. you'll often need
them.
When you hold FIVE, tits always right to lead
them,
Or II the lead won't come in time to you.
Then signal to your partner SO to do.
To lead through honOrs turned up is bad play,
Unless you want the trump suit cleared away.
When second hand or doubtful trick you see,
Don't trump it If you hold more trumps than
three.
But having three or lees trump iearlessly.
When weak in trumps yourself, don't force your
friend,
But always force the adverse strong trumps
hand.
For sequences stern custom has deer eed,
The lowest you must play II you don't lead.
When you discard weak suits you ought to
choose,
For strong ones are too valuable to loose.
