CANVAS GLOVES AND MITTENs.
There Were Some Eight Million Pairs
 Mndr Inst Ncnr In This Country


 For an infant industry the manufac- ture of canvas gloves and mittens ap- pears to be doing very well. It Is yet scarcely fifteen years old, and lt dii not fairly get into It's stride until about five years ago, but there were turned out In this country last year such goods to the numbers all told of SO,00O,- GOO pairs
 What started the first canvas glove and mitten factory appears to be a moot question, IL is probable that the first pair, and this most likely a pair of mittens, was made by some farmers wife for her husbands use, and that as their utility commended them other farmers wives made the same sort of mittens or gloves for their husbands until their use became more or less common in neighborhood or district, and then somebody began making them foi sale.
 Now there are canvas glove and nit ten factories scattered throughout the United States, There Is one eastern concern in the business that has four teen factories in various states east of the Mississippi river, including one in this state, and canvas gloves and nit tens are worn all over the country. and they are now exported to various for eign countries.
 Canvas gloves and mittens are made for women as well as for men, and they are produced in great variety, in vari- ous styles, and of course in various sizes and in canvas of various thick nesses anu in colors white, gray, brown and striped, and some have attached to them leather palm pads and thumb pieces and some have attached woven woulen wristlets, and there are can vas mittens that are wooien lined. Can vas gloves and mittens are made in two hundred or more varieties.
 They are worn by iron-handlers, who perhaps buy those faced with leather or use with them separate leather palm pieces They are worn by motormen and cab drivers and automobile driv- CTS and truckmen, and by farmers and gardeners, and hy laborers, by men en- gagged in various kinds Of work, ana in homes they are used in tending the furnace.
 Canvas gloves and mittcns sell at prices ranging from 10 cents to 25 cents a pair, with a few styles running up to 35 cents, Those without leather trimmings can be washed but they are more likely to be worn till they are thrown away The railroad engineer, for instance, who fancied canvas gloves might buy canvas gauntlets by the dog en pairs at cost of 26 cents pair and put on a fresh pair every week; the lahorer at one work or another might buy a pair of canvas gloves for 10 cents and wear them till they are worn out.-New York Sun.

\ Puzzled Party.
CThe Indianapolis News)


 The party governing for twelve years now has seen its high built and gilde1 prosperity come down with q crash on the eve of a presidential election;- has seen the sacred tariff that it has wor- shipped coming to It's own in such in- equalitles and injusticcs as to make dissatisfactions loud and deep, The peo- pie have been suffering from high meat prices high lumber prices; but who shall dare put anything on the free list? Who shall dare reform the steel schedule to atop the plundering of home buyers compared with fevor- cd foreigners? Who shall make an end of the preposterous treatment for years of the Philippines for the benefit of the sugar and tobacco monopolios? That also involves the tariff And a thing that has been the unuuenchable light on the altar since the party's birth Is not to be touched with nasty or unholy hands, Men must have time to thin,. Especially so~when all this synchron- izes with audacious legislation against old and tried supporters-the corpora tions-and with the time when a new man is to be found for president and hardest of all, party leader There Is the additional burden. New policies impend High tariff and corporations will not longer do. What shall take their place and to what degree and in what shape?
 It is indeed a most interesting polit- teal development that we are witness ing IL Is a great party in the air to Il certain extent, not knowing just what stop to take next. So this unwilling ness to act Is not mere naughtiness It Is Il sign of hesitancy; the halting of n great host that heretofore and thus far has marched without faltering, now surrounded by SO many new conditions as to be doubtful of just who are it's friends md to be uncertain as to the landscape, not recognizing instinctive- ways,
