On omen Field for De,,ocrat.

There Gun be no doubt about the over.
throw of Republicanism at an early
date if Democracy should prove itself
to be worthy of the confidence of the
American people. With Imperialism,
militarism. monopoly and profligacy
provoking to open resistance a very
large proportion of the best elements Of
the Republican party, the Democrats
have an open field for achieving tri.
umphs. Democratic leadership in State
and nation must arise above the con.
ficts of faction and the cupidity OF

Last season stands were maintained
at several watering places for the sale
of "old-fashioned steam candy by the
yard" At some Of the places the sweet
mixture was sold "off the hook" direct
from the hands of the candy-puller,
but in most instances the candy was
in long strips about twelve inches
wide, and from these strips yard or
half yard would be cut off. AT one
mountain resort the candy man did
what he called large export business,
and sent yards of his candy product in
especially made boxes to all parts of
the country, and 1t was largely through
his enterprise that candy by the yard"
became known.

No Spoils in Reciprocity

The subsidy mongers urge that their
bill should be passed because 1t is a
party measure to which the Republi-
cans in Congress are solemnly pledged
by their national platform. To reci-
procity, the twin" of protection, the
party is also solemnly pledged in its
platform, but there is a manifest de-
termination on the part of the Repub-
lican majority in Congress not to re-
deem the reciprocity obligation. What

The high tariff theory is the father Of
the ship bounty steal and other
schemes for raiding the treasury. A
policy which forces one set of citizens
to pay another set of citizens tribute
for doing particular kind of business

immoralities, both commercial and po-

Servants of the Very Rich.

1.-The menus for the servants meals
are written also by the Chef" writes
Nj. e. Carter of housekeeping In a
Millionaire's Family" in the Ladies'
Home Journal. Their dining hall re-
quires a special servant to set tables
and wait, to keep the place orderly and
neat. She lends a hand occasionally
elsewhere. The servants table has
clear glass, bright, plated silver and
good table linen with reasonable
change of napkins. As the personal
maids and the Wallets are frequently
obliged to be in attendance upon their
employers at their own mealtimes they
will be often late. Movable feasts with
little regularity fall to their lot. The
dining-hall girl finds that patience must
have Its perfect work in her also. The
late comers can never know before
hand regarding their own movements.
The butler presides and carves, and 1t
behooves all to be on good terms with
his highness. Caste obtains below as
well as above stairs. The example Of
those who are in authority, because Of
their large bank accounts, is studiously
followed by the lowly, impecunious
ones. Rules Of precedence are US rig
orously maintained as in any royal
household with full as many heartburn
ings. The serving-class to-day have
with each new palace built-more con-
sideraton shown for their comfort.
Men and women have now for each
sex their own bathrooms, with an
abundance Of good towels. Their beds
have elastic springs and mattresses.
The bed chambers, though simple, are
supplied with everything that is neces.
sary for the toilette. They are brightly
lighted, beautifully clean and orderly"

Climate Trying on Americans.

That our private soldiers cannot long
stand the climate of the Philippines is
an old story. Now come official reports
that even officers, whose duties are less
of a strain, and whose hardships are
not SO severe as those of privates, are
unable to stand long terms of duty
there, and limitation of Philippine
service to two years is recommended.
This will greatly add to the difficulties
in the way of solving the problem. Just
when an officer gets to proper under
standing of the situation, he will have
to give it up and come home to recuper-
ate.-Philadelphia Times.

Effect of the Wool Tariff.

Effect of the Wool Tariff.
1t has reached the ears Of the West
ern wool-growers that their high tariff
on wool is driving wool manufacturers
to use shOddy and cotton to an extent
probably never before exceeded, and
the National Live Stock Association, in
session at Salt Lake City, accordingly
demands of Congress legislation to pre-
vent the marketing of such mixtures
as wooden goods. How that would i'm
prove the situation is not explained.
The people who are buying the mixed
goods are doing so simply because they
cannot afford to buy the all-wool fab
fic which high tariff taxes have put
beyond their reach. This is the whole
story, and the Western ranchmen will
learn it in time.-Springaeld (AIass)

ACCUSED OF FORGERY
H. W. LAMB IN JAIL AT
 MOBILE.
Alleged That He Obtained $4oo Under False Pretenses-The Prisoner Declares That He
 is Innocent.

Mobile, Nov. 21.-(Special.) .)-H. W Lamb was arrested here tonight upor complaint of the 70 Merchants Nationa Bank, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses.
 It IS alleged that Lamb received .$4O from the bank on draft for $l,114 drawn on the Beidenhorn Candy Company oi Vicksburg, Miss. which draft the bank claims is a forgery. The bank received the draft as deposit from the Mobile Cider and Vinegar Company with It's sup posed endorsement on 1t. Lamb came to Mobile in July from Louisville. Ky. and became interested in the Mobile Cider and Vinegar Company in the capacity of a drummer. He claims that fellow salesman named Black who has since left the city forged the draft, but the bank people say they heard Black refuse to draw the draft at Lambs request.
 President McAuley of the Mobile Vine gar and Cider Company says that Lamb forged a draft not long ago in Vicks- burg on an Atlanta concern, but that matter was hushed up. on payment of the amount, which was $50. Lamb had $35 on his person when arrested.
