"The Singer Manufacturing Com pany, of 149 Broadway, New York, show their usual American enterprise by having a very creditable exhibit located in Group XIII., Class 79, at the Paris International Exposition, where they show to great advantage the cel ebrated Siuger Sewing-Machine which is used in every country on the globe, both for family use and for manufac turing purposes. The writer was highly pleased with this display and observed with much satisfaction that fit was favorably commented upon by visitors generally. The Grand Prize was awarded by the International Jury to Singer Sew ing-Machines for superior excellence in design, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adap tion to every stitching process used In cither the family or the factory. Only One Grand Prize for sewing machines was awarded at Paris, and this distinction of absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of the International Jury at the World's Columbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer Machines received fifty four distinct awards, being more than were received by all other kiuds of sewing machines combined. Should it be possible that any of our readers are unfamiliar with the celebrated Singer Machine, we would respectfully advise that they call at any of the Siuger salesrooms, which k can be found in all cities and most towns in the United States."

Inimcnso Snra-t Being Use;l to "Convince'* Doubtful Voter*—How They Are "Ap- proached"—Told In a Letter Sent Oat from ileudquurtcrs. Headquarters Democratic National Committee. Chicago Letter —Fifty million dollars Is the price placed upon the honor of the American people by the Republican campaign manugcrs, for that is the amount of the cam paign fund that they propose to raise. The question Is frequently asked, re garding that same campaign fund, "What are they going to do with It?" and it has been frequently observed that no such amount could be honest ly expended In any campaign. The ob servation has, however, heretofore lacked absolute confirmation. Repub lican plans have been well covered. The manner In which the fifty million was to be expended has been careful ly concealed, but "murder will out." The fifty million is to be used as a corruption fund. The following letter has been sent out from Republican headquarters to thousands of doubt ful voters over the United States. The letter is nothing more nor less than a proposition to buy votes and to pay for political work. It reads as fol lows: "Mr. : Your name has been given to me as one who is not fully decided as to the political situation as it stands today. If It is agreeable to you, we would be pleased to have some of our best posted speakers, who are now in your part of the state, call on you and converse with you on the leading political questions, and we feel sure that they will be able to convince you that the platform as presented by the Republican party in this campaign Is the best for the nation as a whole, of any that was ever placed before the American people for their considera tion. "We are also informed that you have considerable influence in your com munity, and that your veiws will be coincided with by not a few of the voters that you can come in contact with. "Now, if after an interview with any of the speakers above mentioned, you should desire to take an active purt in the present campaign, WE WILL BE WILLING TO PAY YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES WHILE SO ENGAGED. "Trusting that we may bo favored with your personal help in the present campaign, awaiting your further com mands, we are, yours respectfully, Re publican Campaign Committee. Dic tated by "H." No one can road the above letter without realizing that it Is a direct at tempt at bribery. The Republican party in its desperation is trying to enlist hundreds of thousands of doubt ful voters In the cause of McKinley— not, however, by preaching the virtues of their candidate, not by extolling the strength of their platform, not even by pointing with "pride" to the record of their party, and "viewing with alarm" the tendencies of the Democratic party—but by simply mak ing the cold-blooded, almost business like proposition of: "You vote and work for us." and wo will pay you so much a day for your time and so much for your vote. The American people would do well to consider this matter carefully. The National Executive committee of the Anti-Trust league has endorsed the candidacy of William J. Bryan for president and Stevenson for vice-pres ident. The action was expected. Al though an attempt was made by the canino politicians of the Republican party to prevent, or at least delay, such action. The Anti-Trust league, however, realized that they could not be true to the principles to which they profess to give their allegiance and remain inactive, or at least, non-par tisan, in the present campaign. If they were against the trusts, it was only a matter of viewing the situation logically to find that they were also against McKinley. The league issues an address to the American people, In which it says: "It is deplorably evident that the entire course of William McKinley as president of the United States proves him to be distinctly hostile to each and all of the principles and declara tions of the platform of the American Anti-Trust league. "It is notorious that his closest counselor and manager is Senator Marcus A. Hanna, the promoter of many and the recognized political agent and representative of all the great trusts and monopolies of the na tion. "The members of his cabinet are the Instruments of the trusts. His secre tary of state is the special champion and friend of British Tory interests. His secretary of the treasury is the subservient tool of the great banks and the money monopoly of the world. "The platform upon which ho stands is totally nerveless in its anti-trust provision, and wholly void of effec tiveness as to remedies suggested. "Contrasting the presidential nomi nee of the other great political party with William McKlnley we are con vinced that William Jennings Bryan is the uncompromising foe of private monopoly. His courage is recognized as being unsurpassed, and we believe that his resolve to liberate the Ameri can people from the curse of monopo lies cannot be shaken. "In view of these facts the Ameri can Anti-Trust league does hereby In dorse the candidacy of William Jen nings Bryan for president and Adlai E. Stevenson for vice-president. and pledge them the loyal and active sup port of the members of the league. Samuel M. Jones, the Golden Rule Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, who as an In dependent candidate for Governor of Ohio in 1899 received 106,721 votes has como out for Bryan and Stevenson in an open letter —a letter which fills the hearts of Republican managers with dismay, and which means the loss of McKinley's own state to the Republic an party in November. A life-long Republican, Mr. Jones has served several terms as mayor of Toledo, having been elected and re elected despite the opposition of ma chine politicians, his platform consist ing simply of the Golden Rule. Last year Mayor Jones ran lor gov ernor on his chosen platform and such was his hold on the laboring men, the reform element in Ohio, that he polled the phenomenal number of 106,721 votes —phenomenal for an independ ent candidate. He carried his own county, Lucas, by a plurality of 125 over Nash, the Republican nominee for governor, and carried Hanna's county, Cuyahoga, by a plurality of 14,934 over the Republican candidate. In 1896 Cuyahoga county, including the city of Cleveland, gave a majority of 5,451 for McKinley while Lucas county, including the city of Toledo, gave the Republican candidate 2,299 majority. It is conceded by reepubli cans and democrats alike that Mayor Jones' action will result in a political revolution in the Buckeye state. The republican campaign managers are panic-stricken and are wondering where the Bryan lightning will strike next. Groat Coat for Llttlo Profit. Utica Observer: The Philippines havo cost us, up to July 1, $186,000,- 000 in money and 2,400 men killed. Our exports for a year amounted to $2,600,000. Assuming that 20 per cent profit was made on the goods sold in the Philippines, the profit would be $520,000. It costs about $100,0000,000 a year to keep the Philippines "ours" in President McKinley's understand ing of the term. It costs us the serv ices of 60,000 men. It costs us. besides, the sacrifice of hundreds of lives. Our profits are half a million dollars a year. Where is the profit in the spec ulation? lMiiltism In Dominant. New York Press: The simple truth is that there are in New York so large a number of Republicans who will not vote for Piatt candidates or have any thing to do with Plattism that a Piatt nomination spells individual defeat and party disaster. Yet Plattism, either infatuated with its idea of dummy candidates or because it actu ally prefers the election of Tammany men to the election of Republicans who do not believe in and will not tolerate bossism, will not heed the warnings of the lost three years. Running: Behind Rapidly Omaha World-Herald: The draughts from the Philippine war are steadily increasing, while the Chinese campaign is making heavy inroads into the treas ury. During the month of August the cost of running the government was nearly $1,000,000 more than the re ceipts from all sources. To realize the full import of this loss it should be re membered that during August a year ago there was a surplus in the treasury of $4,500,000. The relative loss, there fore, is more than $5,000,000 for the past month. The Manufacture of Offices. From the Lurtiauu Argus: The of ficial records show that the last con gress made a net increase of 2,270 in the number of new offices, involvin'g an extra annual salary expense of $5,234,663. Besides all this, 479 old of ficers secured an increase in salaries. These figures are wholly apart from the mauy generously paid commis sions appointed by the president. Un der our new Imperial regime the Re publicans arc giving free scope to their mania for creating new offices. Still Behind His llrnist works. Cincinnati Enquirer: The campaign plan of Mr. McKinley is expected to be developed In his letter of accept ance. Mr. Bryan will; it is understood, also write a letter of acceptance; but he has already proclaimed his profes sion of faith and it Is winning the people. He has advanced into the open Held, not merely with skirmish ers, but in line of battle. Mr. McKin ley Is still behind his breastworks, which are In process of rapid demoli tion. Tho Knterinff Wedge In. Johnstown (Pa.) Democrat: Armed men for many months have stood be tween labor and employment in Idaho. The president has thus repaid party debts to the Standard Oil monopoly.

Atlanta Journal; When our govern ment ordered Spain out of Cuba It ex pressly pledged itself not to exercise "sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control" over that island. The Cubans now see our government proposing a de liberate repudiation of that promise and practically declaring that It will dictate the most important parts of such a consitution as It will permit Cuba to have. Recently a St. Louis girl who had Just acquired her first beau heard some one say that all the world loves a lover —and she has been jealous of the whole world ever since. PEARLS OF THOUCHT. Gentle of speech, beneliclent of mind. Custom reconciles us to everything. Fruise undeserved is scandal in dis guise. Happiness is not perfected until it is shared. A fool must now and then be right by chance. Self Is the storm centre from which all disturbances breed. Nothing gives more sympathy to the voice than real goodness. The most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness. The least cash account has all hu inanity for debtor and creditor. The true use of speech is not so much to express our wants as to con ceal them. A man who does not know how to loam from his mistakes turns the best schoolmaster out of his life. Self-knowledge is that acquaintance with ourselves which SIIOWB us what we are, and what we ought to be. A FAR-SEEING CHARITY. flow tlo Mothers of tlie Next Generation Among the I'oor Will Profit. "Probably the oddest philanthropic establishment in New York City, and yet one of the most practical there or elsewhere, is a 'School for Little Moth ers.' " This C. Montgomery M'Gov ern makes the subject of an attractive illustrated article in the Woman's Home Companion, saying: "The object of this institution is to teach little girls to become excellent mothers—nothing more, nothing less. Here the pupils are given no instructions In reading, writing, arithmetic, or in any of the other subjects learned in ordinary schools. Instead, they are taught here how to wash clothes and dishes prop erly; how to dress themselves neatly, even with cheap clothing; how to wash and dress their younger sisters and brothers; how to scrub and sweep; how to keep even a tenement home neat and cheerful; how to buy food and clothing economically; how to mend; how to sew, and how to cook dishes that are both cheap and appe tising. Each little mother is taught also how to act at table, being drilled lirst as a waitress, next as a guest, and finally how to conduct herself in the capacity of a hostess. The little girls who attend this school are the elder children in extremely poor and large families of the tenements where both the father and mother must go out to work; or where the death of the father has made the mother the only bread winner; or, as is most often the case, where tho mother is too weak either from ill-health or from malnutrition to attend to hor household duties us she might If she were well. "The babies in the nursery are both j boys and girls, and are between the ages of two and four. They are the younger sisters and brothers of the 'little mothers' who are in the other apartments learning how to conduct themselves at home. At stated inter vals throughout the day the older girls come up to the nursery, here to be shown by an experienced teacher how | to undress Tommy, wash his face and I hands, put on a night-gown (for the I children have never heard of such an 1 article at home), and how to put him | to sleep In a soft, white bed. Then I they darken the room and go to other duties." WHY Lnriyamitli WHS Not Attacked. The natural question, "When do you mean to take Lady smith?" being put to our Boer captors, all with one accord affirmed, with the utmost con lldencc, that they would do so shortly, but that they were in no violent hurry to carry out the operation.

Fresh Air in Powders. A now method of purifying the at mosphere of a room has just been dis covered by a French physician. It is novel, simple, scientific and wonderful ly effective. He arranges his material like Seidlitz powders, in two papers of different colors. One of them (the white, for Instance) contains bioxide of barium, which is strongly impregnated with oomcentrnted perfume. This is first put in oil pnper and then wrapped in the white paper. The other (blue, or any other color, to distinguish it) con tains permanganate of potash. When the two powders are mixed the oxy gen is freed, mingles with the atmos phere and drives out the bad air. When the powder is Intended for dis infection purposes only the perfume Is omitted. fn 1897 about a fifth of the coined silver of the world was In the United States. France had about as much.

The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi ness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicato serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Eydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness.
