MOTHER in THE WEDDING GOWN.

Here's a picture of my mother in her we'd
ding gown. All, me,
I wonder II there ever was a fairer bride
than she.
Not wrinkle on her forehead, not line
denoting care
Can be traced upon her features; what a
wealth Of wavy hair
Fell away from her fair temples! And
the smile she wore that day
Was the smile of one whose SORROWS still
were lurking far away.
can fancy that my father, as he ga1ed
upon her then,
Must have held his head up proudly,
favored DER all other men;
And. beholding, the sweet beauty of the
face depleted here,
imagine i can see him, young and ar
dent, standing near
q have loved-and Lean see him as he
caught her to his breast,
When the strength Of youth was in him
and his lips on hers were pressed.
The picture Of my mother, taken on her
wedding day,
Shows the face of one whose sorrows
were all lurking far away,
And fairer bride than she has never
charmed man, trow-
Yet there's one whose smile is swceter
than her smile was long ago,
One whose brows have many burrows
proudly looks sometimes on me,
And see the fondest, gladdest smile a
man may hope to see.

Indiana Democrats.
Indiana's Democracy deserves the
cordial commentator of the American
people for the enunciation of Demo-
cratic principles in State platform
which makes a leading issue of the tar
if and the trusts and pledges the State
candidates to faithful observance of
those principles.
The Indiana Democratic platform
opens with declaration on the tariff
and the trusts as follows: I'VE de-
nounce the Republican party for its
surrender to and alliance with the
trusts, and we favor such action as
will suppress and destroy all trusts or
combinations to control the production
and the price of commodities. We de.
nounce the Dingley tariff law as the
breederof trusts and demand that tariff
duties shall be levied for the purpose
of revenue only and limited by the
needs of the government honestly and
economically administered. We con-
denim the Republican party for refusing
to give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to enforce its decisions
against determinations in railroad
rates, which determinations have been
a potent cause Of the creation and
maintenance Of trusts, and we demand
that the commission be given power to
suppress this evil.''
This Is plain pronouncement on the
leading issue Of the day and places In
diana Democracy in line on the side Of
the people as against the trusts. The
people may rest in confidence that the
national Democracy will take the same
stand, and that the Congressional cam
paigns of the present year and the
Presidential campaign Of 1904 will be

trusts. That issue is vital indeed, and
the American public has of late receiv-
ed certain object lessons which have
aroused the popular mind to full real
ization Of the necessity for n settle
ment. So general is the public under
standing of the trust and tariff evil at
this time that even in the ranks of the
Republican party itself there is dis
affection which makes harmonious par
ty action omlnously difficult.
The Democratic organization in In
diana has In its Slate platform sound
ed clear call to the political battle of
1902. The Democratic party and ma
Jorfty Of the American people will fall
IN line at that call drrayed for conflict
with the tariff bred trusts and the par
ty of the tariff and the trusts. They
must win the fight II the country is to

A Democratic House Needed.
With the increased representation in
the next House of Congress it will re-
quire 1914 members to make a majority.
There are now 1876 Democrats in the
House, so that, presuming all of their
seats will be retained in the elections
of this year, the Democrats will still
need to gain thirty-eight new members
in order to have majority.
The question the Democratic cam.
paign managers have to figure on 10
where they can most surely make
fights with the prospect Of winning
those thirty-eight seats. A careful re-
view of the votes cast at the election
of 1900 shows that there are many
more than thirty-eight congressional
districts az they are now formed, and
in spite Of recent Republican gerry
manders, in which the Democrats have
fighting chances against majorities
ranging from 1G votes to 100 votes.
With tie dissatisfaction that is per-
vading Republican ranks In the West,
with the great strikes on in the East
and with the beef trust revolt affecting
the people in every part of the country
the Democrats feel that the current Ia
with them and that they may fairly ex-
pect to win the majority of the next
House.
1t will be worth while to give the
Republicans battle to the last ditch
in every doubtful district in the Union.
There Is need for Democratic control
of the House Of Representatives to the
end that a strong scotch may be put
upon the extravagances of the Repub-
licans and ratchet on the headlong
career OF an administration equally In
different to the popular will and the

Potato Pulp Cellu,oid.

1t is not many years since the
threatened ivory famine produced that
remarkable imitation known as cellu-
loid, which has been successfully en-
ploycd for thousand uses. Now the
imitation has itself been initiated by
n curious preparation of potato pulp.
The inventor is Dutchman, and he
treats the waste pulp, itself residue
from the manufacture of potato flour,
with solution of acid and glycerine.
The resulting compound takes plas-
tic form, and is dried and ground to
powder. This powder is nodded into
blocks with the aid of water, very
much as one uses plaster of paris. The
material can be cut, turned, bored, ct
cetera. and used for every purpose for
which ivory, bone, celluloid, ct cetera
are adapted.

Proppcd Up by Baxonets.

The passage by the House of its own
bill to organize civil government in the
Philippines on the same day that Adj
miral Dewey reiterated before the SEN
ate committee his opinion expressed in
1898 that the Filipinos are more capa-
BILE of independent government than
are the Cubans, was striking coin
cidence. The bill is an improvement
upon the Senate measure in that 1t pro.
vides for a popular Filipino Assembly
as part of the legislative branch of the
proposed government. and substitutes
gold for silver standard money; but
both bills fail alike in not declaring
our purpose in establishing a govern
ment there.
Mr. Mccall, Republican Represen-
tative from Massachusetts, sought to
remedy this defect by incorporating a
section declaring 1t to be
"The settled purpose of the Congress
to extend to the inhabitants of those
islands every aid in enabling them to
develop the capacity of self-govern-
ment; and when such capacity shall
have been developed we pledge the
faith of the republic to confer upon
them the right to self-governmcnt after
the fashion of really free nations"
These words are taken from Presi.
dent Roosevelts message to Congress
and they correspond exactly with the
language repeatedly used by President
Mckinley on this subject. But the Re.
publicans would make no pledge; and

make the mistake of fancying that the

that the view which embraces "all out

the fact that all details are 80 minute

better. Within the next few weeks cX-

barring death or other unforeseen dis

juncture. All the Democratic party
need do this full is to get the various

that are three or four times as high as
