One phase of progressive womanhood
le unquestionably better and happier
.... than that which pre-
The Bachelor
ceded it. It is the
bachelor maid in
place of the old maid. The bachelor
maid, says the Chicago Chronicle, has
her independence, her cozy quarters,
her visible means of support. She is
self-possessed, artistic and attractive.
Decidedly feminine, she makes her own
way without fear or favor. If good
shall come in the form of a husband,
v ell and good; if not. she is by no means
dissatisfied with her present condition.
This is a strange contrast to the lot of
the old maid of a generation or two ago,
or rather from time immemorial. The
old maid was rejected of men and de
spised of women. She was the target of
all sorts oi jokes and had no rights
of her own. .Without ways of earning a
living, she was obliged to skimp and do
without the ornaments oi life and the
frills that made other women beauti
ful in the eyes of men. She was obliged
to be thankful for a humble seat at the
table, and was allowed only a modest
part in the conversation. The burden
of things was thrust upon her without
remuneration and she was given to un
derstand that mere existence was all she
deserved. How different is the situation
to-day. A woman Is not obliged to
marry for the sake of a support or to
save herself from the odium once at
tached to the unmarried woman. The
bachelor maid controls her own home —
snug quarters it may be, but an inde
pendent home and very inviting. She
has her circle of friends, men and wom
en, married and single. She Is not set
apart, excluded from good company or
merely federated. She is warmly wel
comed and given the best of good cheer.
Surely the transformation of the old
maid into the bachelor maid is more
than a transformation. It is a transla
tion, or even a transfiguration.
An idea once obtaining in the ncr»h

terms. There never
was a greater mistake. The mistress of
a big southern plantation had to be pos
sessed of large administrative and exec
utive ability, and she had to exercise it
very industriously. She held in her hands,
so to speak, the government of a small
nation, and she had to see that its needs
were met, its sickness, death, marriages,
births, joys, and sorrows had to be pro
vided for in her scheme of management,
and often through her personal adminis
tration was comfort and help adminis
tered. On the other hand, writes Myrta
Lockett Avary, in Gunton's Magazine,
She was relieved of many domestic bur
dens which the modern woman carries by
trained servants who took pride in the
artistic discharge of their functions. I
know of no position in modern society in
any way analagous to hers, save that oi
he English mistress of a large estate,
whose responsibilities are not so grave
because she has a more intelligent com
munity under her control.

my highest ambition is about to be re

who began on a capital of brains and

Bit in the window night or day and see
the crowds go by, hear the cheering and
listen to the music of the bands without
having myself squeezed flat, my toes
trodden upon, my clothes disarranged,
my hat knocked off and all that sort of
thing. Ever since I was old enough to
run away from home to witness a pro
cession I have envied the possessors of
doors or windows along the line of
march, and at last I'm happy."
A clergyman long engaged in mission
ary work in Turkey gives an excellent
idea of the repressive censorship exer
cised by the sultan's government. The
latest action of the board of censors has
been to cut out of the Book of Proverbs
such verses as the following: "Envy
thou not the oppressor, and choose none
of his ways." "Enter not into the path
of the wicked and go not in the way of
evil men." "Hob not the poor, because
he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted
in the gate; for the Lord will plead their
cause, and spoil the soul of those that
spoiled them."
DOWNFALL OF FREE TRADE.
Ectflnnd'* Forniioul MiiteNiiieii Re
lieve That I'rutH'timi Muat
Br Kenni-teil To.
Prime Minister Balfour's pamphlet en
titled, "Economic Notes on Insular Free
Trade," is substantially a confession
that a modified protective policy may be
a necessity to the British empire as now
situated. Mr. Italfour says he approaches
the subject from the free trade point of
view, but not precisely after the manner
of Cobden. His conviction is that con
ditions require a fiscal policy varying
with circumstances, and that the British
people "have no right whatever to re
gard any plan as perfect, merely because
it is simple, unartificlal, and, above all,
familiar." in Mr. Balfour's opinion, re
sults have driven his countrymen to ask
"whether a fiscal system suited to a free
trade nation in a world of free traders
remains suited in every detail to a free
trade nation in a world of protection
ists." Here is an admission, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, that, in adopting
free trade, England expected other na
tions to follow the example, and the
world well knows that English freetrade
propagandists and agents have labored
hard to persuade foreign countries to
adopt the doctrine. This crusade having
failed. Mr. Balfour recognizes the need
of shifting the point of view. Themoun
tain will rot goto Mahomet, so Mahomet
must take the alternative under consid
eration.
Mr. Halfour's argument is plainly that
of a nominal free trader who will yield 1
more ground the moment British public '■
sentiment seems ready for it. He owns |
that "free trade may not save a nation i
from suffering more by the adoption of a :
protective policy by its neighbors than
do those neighbors themselves, nor even 1
from being worse off than it would have j
been had it never pursued a free trade '
policy at all." An intimate knowledge
of British fiscal affairs and tendencies
has led the prime minister to doubt the j
expediency of a continued fight for free j
trade, almost single-handed, against the
most of the. earth. He declares that the j
British position would be still more un
desirable were it not that foreign coun
tries owe England a great deal of money,
and that areas remain that are not pro
tected. or protected only in part. Only
these three causes. Balfour asserts, could
save a free trade Island from a helpless
ness in which all that is produced could
be sold only at a loss. In that case
"capital either flies to happier regions or
is lost: labor either emigrates or sinks to
savagery, and unless other help arrives
our (hypothetical) island returns to the
state of nature from which it had surely
been better that it had never emerged."
Not a bright picture, surely, from one
who says he is still a free trader under
reservations. As for the future, Balfour
sees no satisfactory symptoms for Brit
ish interests, and he goes onto say: "The
highly developed industrial countries,
like Germany. America and France, give
no sign of any wish to relax their pro
tectionist system. The less developed
protectionist communities, like Russia
and some of our own self-governing col
onies. are busily occupied in building up
protected interests within their borders
—a process which is doubtless costly to
them, but is not on that account the less i
injurious to us." Therefore, Balfour's
conclusion is .hat England should resort i
to protection far enough to induce an :
equitable tariff disposition in other na- I
tions. He would do to foreign countries j
"what they always do to each other, and j
instead of appealing to economic theories ;
in which they wholly disbelieve, use fisoal
inducements which they thoroughly un
derstand." So the prime minister's free
trade, as he himself unfveils it, is re
taliatory protection, not free trade nor
anything resembling it in the theory or
practice. There is. in truth, little differ
ence between Balfour and Chamberlain, j
Both are convinced from existing British t
fiscal conditions and prospects that prcv j
tection in some form must soon be re- |
sorted to, and that the necessity will j
present itself to all cabinets alike.

counties in which the democrats have in- l
dorsed the Kansas City platform are
Ringgold and Monroe. They made a
strenuous effort to do so in Washington
county, but were defeated. The repub
lican state committee has reason to be
lieve that the democrats will have a
large campaign fund in lowa this fall,
although they have no means of raising
any considerable amount of money
within the state. It is believed that large
sums are coming from those who desire
to see the republican majority cut down

A POOR OUTLOOK.
I)rnii>(-riipy'a Main Prop Knocked
ilaua Ity llrltiwli Mntemiieii
of the i'olnlen School.
In the light of Mr. Balfour's Sheffield
speech and the coming adoption of pro
tection and reciprocity as the economic
policy of Great Britain it is pertinent to
ask what will become of the democratic
party in this country? says the Indian
apolis Journal. From time immemorial
free trade has been the party's battle cry i
and England the arsenal from whence to !
draw its weapons of warfare. It has em- 1
braced and abandoned in turn scores of
opportunist whims and makeshift poli- j
eies and has run off after numberless ;
political vagaries, but it has stuck to free
trade with a tenacity that looked almost \
like conviction, and has accepted the con- j
elusions of British statesmen of the Cob- j
den school much more implicitly than it
hasany teaching of the Bible. Freetrade
has been theone plank in all its platftirms
for more than 50 years which, when all
the rest were wrecked and shattered, It
could climb onto and drift till it landed
somewhere. Although the free-trade
garment was old-fashioned, ill fitting,
badly worn and withal borrowed, the
democratic party clung to it as if it was
the latest and best thing out and the only
thing fit to wear. It was English, you
know. But with free trade discarded in
England, as it will be in time, put off
and thrown aside as an antiquated mis
fit entirely unsuited to modern times and
conditions, what will become of the dem
ocratic party? For more than 50 years
it has been marching under the banner
of Richard Cobden, yet hear Premier
Balfour in his Sheffield speech: "Mr.
Cobden." he said, 'did not forsee the de
velopments of the last half century which
have made free trade an empty name and
a vain farce." Again, he referred to ex
isting conditions as "a state of things ab
solutely inconsistent with free trade as !
Cobden understood it." He meant the
modern protective system which has
made Cobden ism a barren ideality. Again
he said: "There has been a development |
of which Cobden and his contemporaries
never dreamed," meaning the develop
ment of modern commerce, of which the !
democratic party takes no account,
Again Mr. Balfour said: "Our grand
fathers fought the battle of 1840 in view
of the actual situation. I ask the nation
to-day to follow their example and not
to be misled by musty debates." On the
question of free trade the democratic
party lives in the past and does not want
any better guidance than musty debates
reflecting the views of Cobden. Yet here
is a British premier throwing them all
aside and acutally using the sacred name
of Cobden disrespectfully. With Cob
de-nism repudiated in Great Britain and
free trade disowned in the house of its
friends, what will become of the dem
ocratic party in this country?
SHAW'S GOOD SHOWING.
Th«» u (MMIS Hunker** In U«*mon-
Mtrut iuu IIIN Ability to Man
nn«- tin- Money.
For a man who was sneered at by
some of the eastern financiers as a
"backwoods banker," the secretary of
the treasury is making a remarkable
record, says the democratic Detroit
Free Press. It is in dispute whether all
hig official acts are legal and, to a
lesser degree, whether they are in ac
cord with the soundest business prin
ciples; but the facts tend to reconcile
the country. Even his severest critics
admit that he averted a financial crash
last fall and that by the creation of con
fidence at the time when so much money
is required for the handling of the crops
he relieves the timidity of capital from
which the first stampede invariably
springs. When such results are pro
duced there is less eagerness in the in
vestigatiein of methods only as the po
litical critics take advantage of them J
for campaign purposes.
A very strong argument can be ad
vanced in behalf of the proposition that
Secretary Shaw is the currency law. It
is indefinite and uncertain at the best.
Positively and negatively it is so weak
as to have a wide discretionary power
in the hands of the treasurer, and Secre
tary Shaw has chosen to construe so as
to fully meet the emergencies encoun
tered during his administration of the
office. His move to redeem the five per
cent, bonds is legitimate, in accordance
with precedent, and an evidence of good
business management, and the same
is to be said of the proposed refunding
operations. But he will look in vain
for a predecessor who accepted state
ami municipal bonds as security for
public deposits.
Of his own motion and without any
specific warrant in law he adopts an
impeirtant feature of the asset cur- !
rency theory and practically applies It. ;
If his law be good law there is not the \
slightest use of a new currency system, |
for the adaptability of his methods is !
elasticity itself. He holds the financial !
pulse, reads its suggestions and com- j
plies with them before acute danger is j
encountered. It may be difficult to give j
him a legal justification but, measured !
by the results to date, he is a better cur- j
rency law than that on the statute
books.

DUN'S WEEKLY BULLETIN.
Vntn- Contraction In Trade and III
(111*1 ry I* Nolireahh',
New York, Oct. 17. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
While some contraction in trade
o'iel industry hits undoubtedly taken
place, it, is not in proportion to the
reduction of ao per cent, in pig iron
output, or the reaction ill prices of
securities, although in normal years
these* have usually proved fairly re
liable- barometers. Many branches of
Mnnufac! tire, however, are working
full fore* with large orders still uu
tille-d, while the latest returns of the
ciops are most encouraging. Finance
iiiiel labor are* the disturbing elements
this year neutralized very largely liy
favorable commercial and agricultural
conditions. The net result is n fairly
v.cll maintained volume of trade, oil'-
set by conservatism in carrying out
new undertakings and proposed re
organization of facilities. Railway
earnings thus far available for Octo
ber are G.a per cent, larger than last
yea r.
Widely conflicting reports are re*-
eeived as to the condition of the iron
and steel industry. Tiitie is evidence
that the decline iu flotations has
been checked, although it is occa
sionally stated that special terms are
made on important ceinti acts. \ bet
ter inquiry is noted in the west, pig
iron being freely taken by open
1 earth steel furnaces ami makers of
railway supplies, and in some favor
ed lines the new orders cover eleliv
eries through all e>f next year.
A significant event was the an
nouncement that control of the ( lair
ton Steel Co. had not passed to the
leading producer una these mills
with their modern equipment will
continue to operate independently.
One result of tlu* severe fall in prices
end diminished activity will be a gen
eral reduction in wages, some plants

tention to make a new scale on Janu

Although the Attorney Itnn Some

on the Judiir,
John R. Eldridge, a well known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
| to argue a case before a justice of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester.
It happened thai Mr. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in seveial
contests una were far from being on the best
personal terms. Each, to use a slang expres
sion, "had it in for the other." The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
j Herald.
J In a field near the court room a donkey
; was feeding. .Just as Mr. Eldridge was- in
J the midst of his plea something disturbed
| the animal and it broke forth with a resonant
; bray.
[ "Just a minute. Mr. Eldridge, just a min
ute," said the justice blandly. "1 cannot
; hear two at once."
! The attorney was hard hit. but he said I
nothing and waited his turn. It caine when |
the justice was explaining a point of law to
the jury. Again tlie bray of the donkey re- I
! nounded through the court room. Mr. El
dridge placed his hand at his ear.
"Would you mind repeating that, your
honor?" he said in his mildest tones. "There
j was such an echo that 1 could not under- !
■tand."
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con- !
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honor# were
abu ut even.

over ttie country,but mere is one right here
in Franksville which is certainly worth pub

! to the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been
a sick woman for qu-te a long time and could
not find anything to give her any help, fc?lie
suffered all the painful symptoms of what
is generally known as female weakness, i
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of weakness and suffering.
Mis. Markison chanced one day to hear
of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that VU said to be a splendid medicine for
i women's weakness. She determined to trv j
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured. J
Sneaking of her case Mrs. Markison say-: j
"1 can and do praise Dodd's Kidney "Pills |
as a remedy for female weakness. They are I
the best medicine I have ever known, and '
have done me a great deal of good'."

Beauty and strength in women vanish early in life because of
monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently
and see their best gifts lade away. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound helps women preserve roundness cf form and
freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism
healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural
crises and is the safeguard of woman's health.
The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from
