THE CHARLESTON SPECTACLE which see


he giving real concern to many good people, most
natural development That bribery and booze should pre-
vail in the present Democrat legislature as in the proceed
ING Republican body should occasion no surprise Ihose
who imagine that awakened working class rose IN It's
might and smote the monster mammon are dealing more
in rhetoric than in fact The Democrats cast no more
votes than in the preceding election The Republicans
cast far less The partisan change the result OF thou
sands Of voters voting the Socialist ticket or not going
the polls.
But to those who sincerely believed that the Demo
Gratis would change things for the BETTER would declare
lockout on corruption and boycott the graters word
two in explanation:
Elkins ever was William E. Chiffon is bad Senator
Scott There really political difference between
them they only happened to be using different parties to
gain their own private ends The end and aim OF each OF
them to serve Capital Even when honest politicians hon
esy differ they differ only to how best to serve capital
So when the machine of Scott and Elkins was side
tracked and the machine of Watson and Chiffon came In
it was nothing that they should resort to bribery to
gain their individual preferences Bribery is the regular
thing About all tb leaders Of the old parties have gained
and hold their places by bribery. Sometimes Lorlmer
or Watson is openly charged with using real money,
but what is political appointment but bride? DO not
henchmen support certain leaders for what they can get
out of it? Are not the workers paid from the appoint
ment postmaster down to the ward heller and the bum
who gets So? And this not the case where Democrats
are power just where the Republicans in power
Why then, should any intelligent person believe that
the Democrat victory in West Virginia would change
things. It changed only the political complexion OF egls
ators did not change the Conditions which elected those
legislators and which continue to influence them Inc
coal oil and gas and other interests which repre-
scented by Ekns and Scott still represented in Chiffon
and Watson And though the party had not named
those wo the two who chosen would represent those
same interests or their political doom would be sealed be-
cause those interests furnish the money that pays for the
campaign red fire and brass bands
So the present Charleston conditions not surpris

The Majority is opposed to the city letting go of any
public property for thirty years thirty minutes to any

"Out of order!' pounds the gavel

Every year the same old ravel-
Same old sinful song is sung.
Republicans had grown so rotten
That we left 'em, standing pat;
Now we stuff our ears with cotton
To remain a Democrat.
They say there is strange, jingl-

he walks about Charleston.
Speaking of the local case in court,
will the old saw be changed to read:

EMBROIDERED STRAWS.

The new straws are embroidered
with strips Of color. Black on white,
green on navy and black on royal
blue are the most fashionable colors.
Flowers are very much in vogue.
Scarlet and purple anemones, sweet
puritanical pansies and sheaves of
oats in every hue will be used with
scarlet roses, and the tiny rose POM
pom is seen on many of the smartest
headgear.
Bright hued ribbons are yelled
with soft black grenadine silk, and
all manner of fancy ribbons are to
be used in millinery. The passion
for pipings of bright hue has not
escaped our hats, and straw being
now as pliable as chiffon, many of
the hats have pipings of scarlet or
emerald green round the brims.
Crowns are entirely composed of
flower petals, and the fashionable
straws are manila, crinoline and rice

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Dear Mrs. Lee: Evidently, those
who are pleading for the recipes,
misunderstood those who condemn
them. AS for my part, the bright let
ter telling of the writer's way of do
ing things is one of the things which
/ most desire. 1t is the stereotype
kind to which I object, and which,
| dare say, very few ever read. [
agree with S. T. P. that the patterns
are sensible and useful, but | find it
hard to believe there are readers of
The Jeffersonian who do not have
access to fashion sheets. Not long
since, while waiting in front of
dry goods store I noticed "colored
ladies helping themselves to fash
len plates, hung outside for the BEN
eft of any who desired them. On
the counters are standard magazines,
SO that the purchasers of even the
cheapest dress-goods has the oppor-
tunity of selecting design for the
making. But l yield, if others desire

S. T. P, give us your views on the
subject of patterns helping the
girls to establish business Of their
own, as we'll as the boys. l would

recipes. l have not had opportunity
to try them yet but will report when
l do.
M. w. H., my way of making GUS
tards is-TO one quart of sweet milk
take four eggs, one cup of sugar, one
tablespoon Of flour, one teaspoon o.
salt. The flour is to keep it from be-
ing watery; when you get these ingre-
dients mixed you can pour them in
crusts and bake or do as we do in
Texas mostly, pour it all in a pan
and bake, and have a sort of custard
pudding. | like your suggestion of
exchanging ideas about home work.
| want to know the easiest way to
do everything about the house-work,
as we all do our own work here.
No negroes are allowed in this coun-
try and the white people do not hire
out.
A. w. L., in the paper of July 20
you struck the key note of what this
country needs. Train the children to
be kind and loving to everybody, and
loving to everything. Mothers have
such wonderful opportunities, if they
would only use them correctly.

Salad Dressing.
HOUSEHOLD USES FOR SALT.

Brooms soaked in hot salt water
wear better.
Salt dissolved in ammonia, or
alcohol, will remove grease spots.
Salt thrown on any burning sub
stance will stop the smoke and
blaze.
All vegetables that harhor insects,
such as caulifower, lettuce or cab
bage, should stand in a solution of
salt water before they are used.
Rattan, bamboo or basket furni-
ture may be thoroughly cleaned with
brush and salt water
Bedroom floors may be kept cool
and very fresh in summer if wiped
daily with a cloth wrung out of a
strong solution of salt water; mi
crobes, moths and pests are thus de-
stroyed.
