If there is a citizen of the United
States anywhere who has too much bust
ness and too much employment, and
longs for the stsgnation that prevailed
from 1893 to 1896, he can contribute to
that end by voting the Democratic ticket
this year.

The Democratic National Committee
has taken the precaution to issue a dou-
BILE set of campaign buttons-one gold
for the East and one silver for the West
and so the party as well as its leader
manages to face both ways.

A Democratic national victory is in
variably followed by distrust and con-
fusion in business, and by policies that
cripple the great industries on which
workingmen depend for support. No
such party should be entrusted with
power.

Allison has been in the senate now
for over 80 years and prior TO March a.
1873, when he took his seat II the
chamber at the north wing of the cap
itol, he had been a member of the
house of representatives for four con-
crosses, so that legislation TO
him now by instinct and he can accom-"
plish more without apparent effort than
many others can accomplish with much
straining and ~strenuousity, He Is 10
years old now and he has been in o Il
gress since he was 81.
Allison has a greater facility in shap-
ing legislation than any other man who
Las been In either house or senate in
many years. n. - a posluY9 genius
for parliamentary phrasing, securing
by an apt word or sentence exactly the
legislative result which he desires, on
a conference committee, where so mdch
Of the important Legislation OF congress
is really framed, Allison is irresistible,
without exciting antaeonism or seem"
ing to be insistent he almost invariably
secures exactly the results which he
sets out to obtain. With a smile and O
suggestion he touches unerrinBiy the
hidden spring which opens up what
looks to his antagonist as a compro'
mise, but which in truth results in pre-
cisely the aim he had in mind.

arena for dramatic scenes equal IN IN
tensity and interest to any OF the great
days which once made the popular
branch of congress the center OF attrac-
ton for those who throng the capitol.
Bourke Cochran, Of course, is a giant
among popular orators. 1t is doubtful
whether in all American history there
has been any man who could exceed
him as an overpowering o%ratorical per-
sonality before a popular assembly. lie

1t is doubtful whether IN all the his

ed the convention as a member OF the
Tammany delegation from New York
who were bent upon defeating the nom

united in a written appeal to the dele
gates from other states against Cleye-
lands nomination on the ground that
it would surely involve the loss OF the
Empire state to the democratic party.
The convention was In continuous ses-
sion in the great wigwam for hours
during the day and far into the night,
The rain beat upon the roof, the great
crowd of 10000 people surged and
howled and altogether it was an unruly
mob. The sentiment for Cleveland was
dominant and the democratic managers
under the lead of William c. Whitney
had completed the arrangements fol
his nomination. For hours the most
effective orators inrthe party had beer
appealing from the platform, some in
favor of Cleveland, others against him
but no matter who they were or whom
they favored they were drowned in the
fury of the crowd. Their oratory was
a voiceless pantomime. Then at three
o'clock In the morning Cochran rost
and plowed forward to a place on tht
platform. He had not been speaking
two minutes before he had the grea
auditorium silent under the spell of hi
eloquence and he held a hostile audi
ence there for an hour, while he mar
shalled argument after argumen

in popular qualities and, though be is
recognized as possessing great ability,
he has never been able fully to secure

A woman IL society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herseit q
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
Is taken up in keeping engagements OF
entertaining in her own home,
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon tinds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
,he value of Peruna at such a time, II
thew could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have. how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
tbe United States testify to the fact that
peruna is the tonic for a run down

the same shades. As | say, you should
not judge only by the hair; complexion
and health have a great deal to do with
the matter.
1t is a mistake to think that black Is
universally becoming; it is, however,
for the debutante-very often the most
effective thing she could wear. Older
women look quite charming in silver
gray and white. | do not think black
for ordinary wear Is becoming to the
woman whose hair is turning gray,
though, of course, a stately dame with
snow-white tresses, dressed in the eve
ming in black velvet, looks perfectly
charming. But then, as ! always say,
black at its best is beautiful, while
black from the useful aspect is sell
dom really nice.
The empire sleeve Is very effective
with long hanging strands of chiffon
from the puff, caught up in fantastic
fashion at the wrist. Believe me,
strands of chiffon, plain or accordion
plated, or hanging stoles of lace, are,
in nearly every case, an improvement
to a picture frock or tea gown. ! can
not lay too much stress upon these
| points, for the picture frock of to-day
and the revival of these old-world
modes can give many a plain woman
an opportunity of becoming almos,
beautiful in the evening. So many
women are picturesque, though not in
the least good-looking. In a tailor
made frock they can never achieve
more than tidiness and suitability, bu'
in the evening, clad in masses OF lace
and chiffon. they can look ethereal, in
teresting, and almost beautiful. Con
seuuently, it behoves every oma OF
this type to study carefully really ar
tistic dressing, and to blend fashions
of all periods until she arrives at what
suits her individual style.

year later he appeared in Washington

Upham remained only a short time
In the service after the close of the

where he settled down and went into
the lumber business, marrying in due
season a little girl who had been affi-
anced to him as a boy and who had
worn black for him when the news
came to Racine Of his demise. She has

lively incident occurred in the demo-

noon in which two Missouri representatives
figured For moment or two a personal
encounter seemed to be threatened. Mr.
Cochran and Mr.. Hunt were the bellger-

Mr.. Cochran had been discussing the can
didacy of Mr.. Folk for governor of Mis-
souri,, and is said to have made some
structures on the methods Of the democrats
of ST. Louis. Mr.. Hunt took exception to
the remarks of, his colleague and demanded
that they should stop. Mr. Cochran re-
fused to hush, and the conversation was
growing very heated, other Missourians
joining in.
At this moment Mr.. Champ Clark inter-
posed his six feet seven inches Of brawny
stock into the midst of the contending
group and engaged Mr.. Cochran in CONVEX
sation upon another subject, which put an
end to the Incident.
