Congress will meet in special session
in one week from next Monday and as
both that Inxly and the Senate are Dem
ocratic, the country may expect to find
some relief from the KepuMicau silver
and tariff legislation that hangs like a
pall over the land and is the cause of the
present business depression.
In the special election in the eighth
congressional district on Tuesday, to
till the vacancy caused by the death of
Hon. William Mutchler, his son How
ard Mutchler, Democrat, was elected over
General Frank Reeder, Republican, by

less than one-half that of last year in the
district, when it went 6,212 Democratic.
Pretty Anna Witkower was until last
Saturday a chaml-ermaid at the Palmer
House, Chicago. Now she is Baroness
Sohllerin, wife of a millionaire Austrian
nobleman. The courtship legan aliout

at the Palmer house. It was renewed
last spring and Saturday, when the baron
made his third visit to Chicago, the
couple were married.
That the situation in Siam, says the
Philadelphia llt't ord, is critical in the ex
treme may very well le believed, and
this without assuming that the French
Government has withheld from the press
any essential part of the ultimatum aud
reply. In fact, such portions of the ul
timatum as have been published consti
tute in themselves a sulliciently grave
menace to the relations of the two Pow
ers and to the peace of Kurojie. The
peril no longer apjx-ars to le that a con
flict hiay arise that might le fatal to the
independence of au olscure kingdom,
but that Siam may prove to U the spark
which shall set all the great Powers of
F.urope and Asia ablaze.

The case stated of levi H. Tace, au
ditor, vs. The county of lxjbannon, in
which is involved the principle of the
payment of township and Imrough audi
tors for attending to their duties at the
last spring election was decided by Judge
McPherson of the lebanon county court.
His opinion was concurred in by Judge
SimonUin, of Dauphin couuty. For
holding meetings for receiving eeitili
cates of nomination, and nomination
pajiers, hearing objections thereto and
withdrawals, and filling out certificates
for watchers, The township must pay the
auditors, but for arranging ballots, cor
recting proof, going to and from the
printing oflice, and distributing ballots
to the proper orlice of any township, the
cost must lie paid by the county commis
sioners. The failure of the railroads to give
sufficiently low rates to the World's fair
has kept many prospective visitors away.
With this month one half the term of
the World's fair will expire. I'p to that
time the total attendance will have been
jierhajis o,7tH,IMH.). or 7,000,(H0. it
may be too much to say that cheap rail
road rates would have caused double the
daily attendance for theeutire time since
May 1, but it is certain that 4,000,000
more jieople would have attended the
fair in June and July but for the high
rates extorted by the railroads. This
mo ney loss to the fair is directly charge
able to railroad greed, and the railroads
have lost more than the fair by their
JMilicy. Instead of half empty trainsthey
might have had full trains for the lat
two months.
Those who are always talking about
the good old times when people were
U tter than. they are t.wl.iy, and when
w ickedncss and vice were not so rami
ant as at present, w ill rind no consola
tion when presented with the actual
facts. The Ixindon KthinUiii lirrit-w re
cently gave a vived picture of the condi

Among other items of interest cited is
the manner in w hich Sunday was ob
served. According to a calculation made at
the time tlx.ut 2lH),0O0 Imdon people
sjient Sunday in the summer in the
suburban inns, tea houses, etc., getting
rid of $12.",0OO. Of the, ;t was estima

high glee, :tO,IXH) drunkish, 10,000 stag
gering tipsy, l.j.(KH) muzzy and 5,000
dead drunk. Another criterian of the
time was to the effect that the ladies'
dresses were indelicate "there Uing
very little of them and that too trans
parent." The fact is in the gotx! old
times the people's habits were consider
ably worse as
a rule than thev are now

Is oru-r to apply the right remedy for
the existing financial trouble, says the .
New York Uorltl, 11 is important iu
the public shall not lie mi-led as to the
caue of the disturbance.
When jmlitiial clulm or newspapers
assert, for partisan purjHises, that the
trouble is of .recent origin and is largely
due to the success of the IVmocratie
party and the prompt ct of tar iff reduc
tion, they do their utmost to Ix fog the
issue and to prevent the adoption of
measures necessary to relict.
A year ago, these partisans assert, ev
erything was profjwrous and serene.
What a falsification of history!
A year ago the militia was in arms in
three states to put down the revolt of la
bor against reduction in wages.
A year ago, in Jn!r, !S'.t2, the exports
of gold were over IIO.OW.IHM). This
year the tide has turned slightly in this
direction.
The loss of gol.l is accepted as a sign
of a lack of confidence and a symptom
if unfavorable commercial or monetary
conditions. During President Harrison's
administration our net loss of cold by
export was 122,C24,(HH. The loss in
l.s'.'l alone was f tS.i:0,0S7.
The collapse of various swindling
trusts and gigantic conspiracies for rob
liery, liegioning with Reading and end
ing with Cordage, involved a lossof hun
dreds of millions to investors ami spec
ulators. It tntributed not a little to
the financial distress.
The Sherman act, the most active
cause of all in producing the monetary
disturbance, was passed in 1N'.H. Its
evil effects have simply culminated now.
As for the tariff, it is perfectly well
known that no changes that w ill lie made
an go into effect under a year. It is
absurd to attribute the troubles which
liegad two years ago, ami continued
with increasing intensity last year, to a
possible reduction of taxes next spring.
It will lit; the duty of Congress to deal
with business facts rather than partisan
theories.
TlIEKE is no difference, says the Phila
delphia liiiinii, lieiween the protection
extended to silver producers and that af
forded to other protected interests, ex
cept that in one case the intervention of
the government is direct, and in the
other indirect. The loss on silver pur
chases is paid by the government rirt,
and lastly by the taxpayers. The loss
on Steel rails, woolen blankets, lumber
and other taxed manufactures, and on
taxed raw materials, of manufacture,
caused by tariff rates which prevent ini
IKirtations and advance prices to the con
sumers, is of no profit to the Federal
treasury. The tariff laws are an author
ization to the protected interts to col
lect for themselves certain jierceutages
from the purchasers of their wares with
out direct Federal intervention.
Rut whether the producers of silver or
steel or cloth lie protected, one principal
of favoritism prevades the transaction.
There is a difference of method without
a difference of result. The obligation
that rests upon Congress to stop silver
purchases liecausc the result of such pur
chases has been to destroy confidence in
the stability of the currency equally re
quire the stoppage of tariff discrimina
tions which cripple the productive re
sources of the country by loading them
with unnecsssary burdens that do not go
to support the government. It isagrcil
on all hands that the fists of the silver
producers must be withdrawn from
I'ncle Sam's jiockels; but the victims of
tariff spoliation will not rest content un
til I'ncle Sam shall have taken the lists
of his favoriUs out of every luidy's
pockets.
The tariff organs are busily recording
long lists of industrial failures. They
are, in fact, merely continuing to Kiit
the lists made of the Democratic advo
cates of tariff reform last fall. The Dem
ocrats then predicted that those twin
bantlings of protection, the McKinley
tariff and the Sherman silver purchase
act, would produce the very evils from
which the country is now suffering.
It is universally conceded by the ene
mies of the Democratic administration
that industrial and financial prosperity
cannot lie restored until Congress shall
have throttled the silver bantling, and
there is pretty general recognition of the
malign influence of the other twins.
Yet the protectionist lamb, which for lo!
these many years has been at the head
of the stream of legislation, insists that
the Democratic wolf, far down the
stream, has alone muddied the current.
Tt is not the McKinley tariff nor the sil
ver purchase net, protest the organs, but
the threat of the Democrats to aUilish
these measures that has demoralized the
trade and finances of the country. The
mischief is nt in what has licen done in
legislation by the Republicans, but in
what is proposed to be done by the Dem
ocrats. 15y such sophistries and jierver
sions as these the protectionists are en
deavoring to deceive themselves and
others as to the real situation of the
country.

When Joel Reed, on Sunday, presented
himself at the altar iu tin; Union Mellio.l
isi -hurcli. Camden, X. .1., tj lie admitted
i on pi otctl ion, his wife caused a sensation
by standing up and objecting to .n r bus
hum! tx coiiiing a liiemlM-r. She said he had
not snpoitctl her for a year. Rev. (Jeorge
C SliaiiKt-r, the pastor, was greatly em-iiarras-etl
ani ordert d Reed to sit down.
He was not admiltetl lo uieiuln-rship.
A i coiil ing U the statement of six men,
Ilr.ti. V. t laker was drowned in tiie Mis
souri l iver at Evct Isioi Spl nigs Mo., on
the nielli of .1 uly lo w bile on a fishing ex
cursion. Right insurance companies and
benevolent societies are i.li lllied to doubt
this, for to t hem the established death of
Mr. Fraker means the loss of ?.Vi,Oi 10. The
body lias not Im-cii found. Some people
hint at suicide, others at foil! play, while
many doubt that the doctor is dead.
On Sunday the new Kngland coast was
visited with the most terrific storm, ac
companied with the highest rate of wind
that has every lieen known for years.
From Portland. Me., to the Massachusetts
coast the loss has been great. Mouses
have I ecu unroofed, trees blown down and
strewn upon the railroad tracks and iu the
streets of cities, ami the crops of ihe farm
ing country of thai region have Iteen liter
ally torn from the earth and are ruined.
Devastation reigns on all sides.

Plain or elaborate, a toilette can hardly
liectuue asueet-ss w ithoiit an accompanying
hat which will harmonize and add to it the
indispeusihlc finishing touch. Rut the
selection tif the latter is a problem of con
siderable study, for one must bear in mind
the circumstances for w hich a costume is
intended and accordingly choose the most
appropriate head-gear. Due must also
consult the possibilities of one's purse, and
most important of all, one is compelled to
remain meanwhile within the proier
boundai ics tif the litest styles. When we
come til the latter, how evct. w hat a be
wildering embarrassment of riches confroi. t
usl For the choice may extend from the
plain tailor toque to the complicated gar
den hat made of some sheer material, in
other words, it may include the w hole
range of the milliners' creations; delicate
tinted straws, (iociiis of lace and flowers or
of material similar to that of the costume,
tennis ami yachting caps, casino bonnets
and the infinite variety tif bridal hats.
One tif the characteristic features of the
McDowell fashion journals is that they
generally represent a hat of the latest
fashion with each costume, for tin double
purpose of giv ing millinery novelties and
of illustrating the intimate relation lie-twt-eii
a toilette and the head-gear. The
most 'pular tif these fashion magazines
are: "La Mtnle tie Paris." "Paris Album
of Fashion." "The Flench Dressmaker"
and "La Mode." The former tw o costs
:i.:.o each, a year, or 35 cents a copy. '"The
French Dressmaker" is 3.111 M-r annum,
or 3o cents a copy. "La Mode" costs only
1.50 a year, or 15 cents a copy, and is in
tended to In-come the home fashion journal
par excellence. If you are unable to pro
cure any of these magazines at your news
dealer, do not accepi any substitute, but
apply directly to Messrs. A. McDowell fc
Co, 4 West Hih street, .New York.

msmm OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE ONLY BY THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on
the face of the rIoIki.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to traJe
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
aWTOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Pi-ow Wukks,
South Bend, Indiana.
