ABOUT BRIDAL FLOWERS.
Txndftfon and Sentiment In Various
Countries Regarding the
Proper blossoms.

II NAV prove interesting TO prospec-
tive brides, who choose their wedding
flowers with so much sentiment. to
know why certain blossoms have been
associated with marriage feasts, says
She New York Herald.
Orange blossoms are the first How
er thought of in connection with we'd
dings. The Saracens used orange bios
SONS to crown their brides, and re"
garded them as the emblems of happi-
ness and prosperity and as sign OF
fecundity. The fruit has also its as
sociation with the hymeneal altar, as
the golden apple presented by Jupiter
TO Juno on the day Of their nuptials
Is supposed TO have been an orange.
In Sardinia IL is customary to attach
oranges to the horns Of the oxen which
draw the nuptial conveyance. Brides
and brldegrooms also are sprinkled
with orange flower water, and IN an
cient times the bridal bed was dec
Grated with sprigs of rosemary and
orange blossoms. The Germans, who
use wreaths Of myrtle, consider this
vine symbolic Of purity and fertility,
and for the same reason the Roman
bridegroom wore crown OF myrtle,
while the brides wreath was of roses
and myrtle. Myrtle was said to be
favorite of Venus, the goddess of love,
and is symbolic of love. In Prussia,
however. it is held to be an evil omen
for bride to plant myrtle, and in
other parts of the German empire ver-
bena wreaths replace the myrtle. In
other parts Of this same country hat
made of verbenas is presented to the
new-made wife, and is supposed to
place her under the special protection
of Venus Victrix.
In former times rosemary was con-
sidered the bridal flower, and was en-
twined in wreaths and dipped in scent
ed water. In Greece the altar is en-
twined with ivy, and the priest pre-
sents a branch to both the bride and
bridegroom as a symbol of the indis-
soluble knot of matrhnony, while the
wreaths of the bridal couple are, in
some parts of this land, composed of
poppies. In old Roman times. poppy
wreaths were only worn by married
women. supposed to indicate, by their
brightness, the joy and happiness of
married life. In other parts of the
Greek isles brides wear hyacinth
wreaths instead Of orange blossoms.
In Tripoli all bridal gifts are sent COW
cred with flowers.
Rose crowns sometimes were worn
as bride wreaths. being especially
loves flower, but the lily of the valley,
now so often used as the bridal flower,
was called virgins tears and was con-
sidered most unlucky as wedding
hower.

ELECTION STOLEN
BY Republicans but Contest Would
Be Settled By a Republican
Congress.

Democrats are In DOUBT as 10 tne
wisdom of contesting the election
ofB. s. Mcclure, republican dele
gate elect in congress. The cost
would be heavy, and the fact that
the merits of the case would be
passed upon by republicans is not
pleasing to democrats. A definite
decision may not be reached be-

meanwhile democrstic leaders will
Investigate conditions in the

opinion of what should be done.
A lawyer Of extensive practice
in Oklahoma was asked what the
4 method of procedure would be If a
contest should be bought BY Cross
and his friends. He replied:
"There are two ways, one at
home and the other in congress.
The first involves the congress
sional ballots thrown out because
the voter stamped Cross's name
both as a democrat and a popuiist.
u am of the opinion that Cross

In this manner. That these bal
Y lots are legal, and that each bal
lot should be counted one vote for
the candidate, has been held in

Judge A. G. G. Bierer. and in the
supreme court of Wyoming. 1t is
not mutilation to stamp candi-
dates name as often as it may ap-
pear on the ballot. To inforce the
counting of these ballots would
require proceedings against the
precinct judges, q tedious and la
borious task when the number is
considered. Our law requiring
that ballot shall be rejected at
the request of only one judge is
vicious, and should be repealed,
or modified by permitting the
question to be determined IN a
district court, within week after
the precinct judges have made
their official returns. The su
preme court has held that this law
Mis- unjust but declined to rule
against it because of the fact that
ihe language is clear and explicit,

~ ssThe second method OF proce-
dure would be to carry the contest
to congress, plan familiar to
mcst persons. Each candidate
would gather his evidence and pre-
sent it to the committee on cleo
tions, the plaintiff filing petition
specifying the Irregularities by
which he was defeated. The CON-
mittee would then report, and It's
report be sustained or rejected. ~

THE IOWA IDEA AGAIN
Governor Cummins Explains in Chi

of His State Meant. @~s-~>

j., Chicago Oct. 10.-The thirty-frst ami
versary of Chicago's big fire was observed
last night by banquets, given under the
auspices of the Marquette and Lake Side
clubs. l sa, ~. " .
Governor Cummins Of Iowa responded TO
the toast, 1.-THE Iowa platform ana Inc
Tariff" He said in part:
I'VE believe that to the doctrine OF pro
lection more than to any other principe
of government is due the commanding po-
sition so brilliantly won and so hrmiy
held by the United States in the affairs
of the world; that to the policy OF pro-
tective duties is due, more than to any
other policy Of government, the unequaled
ma nhood and wornanhood OF the people, at
once the safety and glory OF the repuollc,
that to this fundamental proposition OF
the republican partNis due, more than to
any other economic truth the marvellous
development and unparalleled prosperity
which now distinguish the American name
and bless the American home.
'That changes would become necessary
or advisable no republican has ever

| der circumstances that made 1t clear that

times, this belief is shared by the repub.


licans Of forty-four other states. ,,
= There has never been, and cannot be,
a controversy with respect to the purpose
and measures of protective duties. - The
purpose is to give the American producer
a fair chance to take the American mar
ket at fair American price, so that the
American laborer can work at American
wages and American capital can be re-
warded with American profit, and thus
originate and develop those American in
dustries and enterprises that nature has
fitted, US to carry on. -...> -.~-- g.
Tested by these criterions,, both as to
purpose and measure, no intelligent OBJ
server can doubt that on some Of the most
important products Of the United States
the duties are too high; and it is the mis-
sion of the republican party to reduce
them so that they will again be in har-
mony with the principle out Of which they
| spring. A
| depend upon it, that capital will not
| imperil it's rightful interest because it is
| asked to surrender its usury.
TT has been said by illustrious leaders
of the republican party that a modification
| Of the tariff is not remedy for the
| trusts. r take this opportunity to say to
| the republicans of Iowa that they wholly
agree with this view, and have not pro-
posed to effectually repair the wrongs that
4 are perpetrated by unlawful combina lions
+ by any readjustment or abatement Of the
tariff schedules.

corporations are absolutely necessary tc
