The War Tax.

According to a Washington dis
patch there is likely to be no consid-
cradle reduction of the war taxes, at
present, although distinct assurances
to that effect were given prior to the
adjournment of congress in June. 1t
seems that Mr.. Payne, of this state,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, has been comforting with
the president. He will call meet
ing of the republican members of that
committee on November 20 to arrange
plan of action, but it is announced
that the reduction is not likely to ex-
ceed $15,00O.O00 annually. 1t was ex-
pected that the war taxes would be
cut in two, reduction of $60,OCO, 900
a year. Evidently Senator Depew's
prohphecy in 1898 as to the cost of
President McKinley's Philippine pol
icy was much nearer the truth than
the average campaign speech.-Al-
bany Argus.

PRESS COMMENTS.

THE trusts will face the presi-
dents message without tremor.
They've all been there before many
a time.-N. Y. World.
If the trusts fail to get every
thing they want in the next four
years it will be only because they
neglect to ask for it.-St. Louis Re-
public.
President McKinley's retention
of his cabinet indicates that he does
not intend to make any change in his
policy-whatever that policy may be.
Philadelphia Record.
If the supreme court decides
that the flag and the constitution
must travel together Mr.. Mckinley
will have to change his policy toward
Porto Rico as completely as he
changed his mind with reference to
giving the island free trade.-Kansas
City Times.
With indecent haste the repub-
lican raid upon the public has begun.
Within three days after the repub-
lican victory the meat trust has raised
it's prices so as to recoup from the
people the contribution it made to
the campaign. These are but start
ers in the excesses and scandals for
which we may look-Atlanta Consti-
tuition.
AS the trusts boosts prices the
people begin to realize that. after
all, those millions collected from the
trusts by Hanna to run a Mckinley
campaign finally come out of the
pockets of the people. Electing a
president in this glorious land of the
free and home of the brave is getting
to be mighty expensive luxury
| Toledo Bee.
President Mckinley will have
four more years in his high office
eight altogether. In all that time we
ought to be able to learn whether it
is really he who makes the crops grow
abundantly, secures reasonable prices
for wheat and procures employment
for the workingmen at some sort of
wages, ,or is simply lucky.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.
We do not believe it possible for
congress to reach all of the trusts.
| Some of them are under the exclusive
control of states. But congress can
lay its hand on tariff protected mo-
nopolistic extortioners and put stou
to fragrant abuses of protection. It
can do this without reducing either
wages or revenues. Failure to do il
will be trifing with power and duty.

DISPUTE OVER UNIFORMS.
Controversy Between Gen. Miles and
the Quartermasters of the
Army.

There is a controversy going on at
the war department over the adoption
of uniforms for the enlisted men. Some
time ago Gen. Miles, commanding the
army, submitted recommendations af-
fecting the apparel of the soldiers.
Among other things he suggested the
campaign hat, with broad brim, one
side of which was turned up and
fastened with a cockade. The effect
was somewhat striking, and the design
was adopted from British design.
The army quartermasters resented the
interference with their work by Gen.
Miles. They have shelved the sugges-
tions from Gen. Miles, and there is a
good deal of i'll feeling on the subject.

speech gives way to splitting, the repulsive
odors of chronic catarrh poison the kiss OF
the fondest lovers, and thickened MEM
branes bedim sight, impair hearing and de-
stroy taste.
Like the plague-stricken Egyptians cry
of distress has gone out from every house
hold, and the mildew of woe clings to every
hearthstone.
Catarrh in some form, cstarrh in some
stage turks as an enemy in the slightest
cough or cold and finishes its fiendish work
in heart disease and consumption.
No tissue, function, or organ of the body
escapes its ravages; muscles wither, nerves
shatter, and secretions dry up under its
blighting presence. So stubborn and dlth-
cult is this disease that to invent remedy
to cure chronic catarrh has been the ambi-
ton of the greatest minds in all ages.
Is it therefore any wonder that the vast
multitude of people who have been cured
of chronic catarrh by Peruna are SO lavish
in their praise of this remedy! That the
discovery of Peruna has made the cure of
catarrh practical certainty is not only TIE
testimony of the people, but many medical
men declare it to be true.
AS drug store in this age Of the world is
incomplete without Peruna, it can be OBJ
tanned anywhere with directions for use:

In washing greasy skillets the ad-

To clean the range after frying
crumple a newspaper between the

This will absorb the grease and leave

considerable wealth as a stock man.
Matilda in the meantime was welded to

ABOUT HANDKERCHIEFS.
Some Things That Every Girl Should
Learn as Soon as She Can


There is no better way for a girl
to learn to sew than to make for her.
self a number of dainty handker-
chiefs, as very neat sewing must be
employed in all work of this kind, and
as yard of sheer linen is enough for
several of them it is much cheaper to
make them at home. If she wants
trimming other than hemstitching
she can make this also, if she can knit,
crochet or make tatting, and any of
these are very dainty as well as dur
able, says the Housekeeper.
1t is quite a feature of economy
to get width of linen that will cut
two handkerchiefs, and there is moth
ing better than India linen of a fine,
close quality In hemstitching only
three threads should be drawn, as it
gives much neater effect, and to
make the threads easier to- draw the
material must be dampened and
pressed before beginning the work.
The girls should not only learn how
to make their own handkerchiefs, but
they should learn to launder them as
WE'LL for the average laundress is de-
void of conscience and pity toward
these sheer articles, and if they are
washed by the owner in her own
washbowl they are spared the sacri-
flee occasioned by hard rubbing on
the waShbOard.
Soft water is always preferable for
washing these dainty articles, and to
wash them so they will be beautiful
ly white stir enough pearline in the
warm water to make foamy lather
then wash between the hands, and
while still damp spread smoothly over
marble slab or large window pane
or mirror. Let them remain until
perfectly dry, then fold evenly and
press between boards or in large
book.
If one is an expert needlewoman she
can have quite a number of handker'
chiefs with very little expenditure Of
money, and if she will launder them
herself she may keep them looking
fresh and dainty. 1t is said that moth
ing shows a woman's degree of refine
ment more than her handkerchief.
