special value in mere weight; indeed, a
very heavy decanter IS something OF a

sold nowadays for the purpose of hold

furnishing accessories they are neither
beautiful nor very useful.
At the present time there appears to be
a tendency for fewer glasses to be used
at dinner than formerly People drink
less and very seldom indeed use all the
glasses placed for them. The use of
colored glasses Is on the decline. for. as
noted before, the wine itself should pro-
vide the color, Just as the huge glass
bottles in the windows of chemists shops
are filled with colored water for a bril-
liant effect No colored glass can quite

AS decoration the glass flower vases
NOW made in such wonderful variety are
of the greatest assistance in arranging
a dinner table. Even here 1t is far too
usual to see highly ornate centerpieces
used. which swamp every other effort
at establishment of which the table may
boast. but engraved glass may be used
with more fitness for this purely orna-
mental purpose than for anything else.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.

The coming election will appeal to
the voters of Iowa more than any cleo
ton since the election of VIM. McKinly
the first time. The voters are more
forcably reminded of those times when
he sees the price on everything that he
and his family consume are almost
daily advancing. Who is responsible
for this condition? We must concede
that the republican party has been in
power, and as we watch the action of
our party in Congress we see two fac
tions in the party, one is contending
that they have redeemed the pledge Ct
the last national convention when they
adopted the last tariff law; while the
oaher is contending that part of their
pa. ty has ignored the Chicago platform
and instead of lowering the tariff they
have increased it.
Both factions will ask the voters for
their approval in the coming June pri-
mary. One is right while the other is
wrong. Who is responsible for this
condition? Does the present tariff bene-
fit the masses or the few? Which fac
ton represent your views? If the
standpatters, then vote with them, ori
the progressives, then vote the entire
progressive ticket. . ST." 49, 49,.
Aldrich, Cannon and those who fol

DoLL1vER.cUMMINs MEETING.

The great Dolliver and Cummins
meeting last Tuesday night at the new
Coliseum was the largest and most en-
thusiastic crowd ever gathered at one
time within the walls Of any building
nj Iowa. If our Coliseum will
seat ten thousand people, full
ly $500 people were packed into
that mammoth building. The enthus-
iasm, cheers and applause given each
speaker demonstrated that the common
people are with, them. 1t was a well
dressed and we'll behaved audience
eager to catch every word uttered by
the two most eloquent orators IN the
American congress. Each senator
seemed to be at his best; each
have diffehent style and type OF or
atory Dolliver sloquen swept these
10000 people as by magic His wit
and wisdom which make him the star
debator in the senate was seen to an
advantage. Cummins, that highly pol
ished, convincing, pathetic and dra-
matte speaker, set his hearers wild.
No greater ovation could have been
given the president. They are the
men of the hour and are undoubtedly
legal benefciaries to the eloquence OF
Charles Sumner and James G. Blaine.
They came here to speak for the pro-
gressive republican cause and the pro-

then each one spoke plainly for Gov
