The sales were 2,700 pounds at 34 cents, and 16,560 •pounds at 35 cents. Prices one year ago were 24% and 25 cents. X JSFTbe House passed the direct tax bill last<Fuesday, which provides for the ""return t<T*the various States of the amounts of direct tax levied in defense of f the country during the par. The Oppo­ sition ..came mainly from the southern *tatea. Illinois will receive $947,000; Iowa, $384,000; Wisconsin, $454,000; ^Nebraska, $19,000. . tST" We learn from the esteemed St. Paul Pioneer-Press that the Hon. Jerry Simpson of Kansas has "substituted jjcoltl-l sowed spectacles for the goggles he f Wore during the campaign, hair 'ile' for the mutton tallow that used to paste : ^down his vagrant locks, and socks ; --actual socks --for those feet that were . once frequently taken for adobe ovens . at a short disdanoe." If Mr. Simpson : has substituted socks for his feet what in mercy's name has he done with the feet? / IST" Legislation might proceed at - Springfield whether a Senator is elected or not. The Havana Republican correct­ ly describes the situation as follows: "The senatorial question may not be dis- jposed of for months yet, nor is it neces­ sary that it should be that the work of legislation may go on. Two or three hours may well be spent every morning In legislative work before the hoar for the - joint convention comes; but nothing can be done until the committees are ap­ pointed. It has been charged upon 'the big three,' that they are casting the £$tate $2,000 a day for nothing. This charge can properly lie only at the door ; of SpeakerjCrafts."' Confused Free Traders. Ifrfe very difficult for the Democrats t» get together on any subject. They can­ not even agree on the merits of the reci­ procity treaty with Brazil. Some of them say it is a good thing, and other* denounce it HS A delusion and a snare^ Occasionally an ardent tariff reformer manifests his approval of the treaty by announcing that it is a move in the direc­ tion of free trade, while the Democratic neighbor says it is a piece of Republican trickery that cannot possibly benefit any­ body. One heralds it n,s an important step in removing restrictions from trade, while another named it "Jim Blaine's humbug." This diversity of sentiment indicates a confused state of mind. The Democrats want to '-put Mr. Blaine in a hole," by depicting liitn as a wanderer from the Republican policy of protection, and hence they , say reciprocity is a splendid thing, because as far as it goes, it is free trade. At the same time they recognize in the .Secretary of State one of their most dangerous antagonists, and so blow their trumpet of censure at him, de­ claring that bis reciprocity scheme is a fraud and that enlarged trade with the nations of South America will not put an extra dollar into the hands of any citizen of the United States. Thus the zig-zag arguments go on, and blame and praise come alternately from the free traders. Meanwhile, the Republican party is serene. Its idea is for this country to buy freely those things which it needs and cannot produce, w.hile protecting every home industry. This is a simple creed, easy to understand and put in practice. Let the campaign proceed on this issue, regardless of Democratic wrigglings. f':4- ' Senator-elect Kyle, of South Da­ kota, has an ultra radical platform of his own. In a Fourth of July oration last year he said: Let us have, first, universal liberty of the press: second, universal education, protected by compulsory education laws: third, universal suffrage, protected by a secret ballot, a compulsory ballot, an educational qualification, and the free­ dom of the ballot for all, male and fe­ male, who may comply with the national regulations; fourth, universal prohibi­ tion of the liquor traffic, protected by State and national laws, and thus re move the rum power, which to-day de­ stroys the social, political and commer­ cial life of the nation. This oration brought him into prom­ inence and he was elected a ̂ member the Legislature, being elected afterwards United States Senator. And, as a woman suffragist and Prohibitionist, he received the Democratic vote for United States Senator. (®"Two westerners, pioneer railroad men, entertaining themselves and an appreciative audience by telling stories of the wild and wooly West. "One of the funniest things I ever heard was the story a Swede told of his experience down Oklahoma." said one of the pioneers. He had saved about $150, and went down into the land of promise, expect­ ing to make a fortune. He hadn't been there many hours, however, before some smoooth fellow secured his cash, and the poor Swede had to beat his way home. Some one asked him how he liked Guthrie. 'Nogood at all,'he said. 'Whole town tents. Stores all tents, hotel tent, postoffice tent. Goat eat up the post- office, and Injun get on tear and make pair of breeches out of hotel. Oklahoma no good*'" (STThe Senatorial contest at Spring­ field, hew not been settled at this writing (Wednesdaymorning), but the outlook is that it will be to-day by the election of John M. Palmer, the Democratic candi date, by the votes of two of the Farmers Alliance representatives, Messrs. Moore Cockrell. Thus will be carried out what we have all along prophesied would be the final result. After the Republicans have conceded everything to these cranks and finally consented to vote for Streeter at their dictation, they now come out and flatly announce that they have de­ cided to vote for John M. Palmer. After putting the tax payers of the State to the expense of $2000 a day for eight weeks, they do what they intended to do in the beginning, vote for Palmer. They are simply Democrats, and by their final action have shown that they did not in tend that anyone but a Democrat should be elected. Had they done this in the be­ ginning no one wouldhave been surprised Such men are a disgrace to any party and Republicans who have toadyed to tbem for the last eight weeks ought to be ashamed of themselves.

R. BISHOP. Nellie Lewis Carnation. The latest and one one of the best nov­ elties for 1891 is an elegant Carnation, growing on long stems, a free bloomer with large flowers, of exquisite shade of pink, some thing entirely different from anything in Carnations. This flower is destined to become a great favorite among the florists, as the ladies prize it very highly for«orsage boquets and dec­ orative purposes generally. The endorse­ ment of the old firm of James Vick, Rochester, N. Y., who introduce this plant is enough to assure the public that it is all they claim for it. The price is only 50 cents each, three for $1.25, six for $2.25, doz. $4.00; but a better way would be to send 10 cents for Vick\ Floral Guide and the 10 cents can be deductet from the first order forwarded for seeds. l«te aflir I®" Some of the promises of the Demo­ cratic papers in regard to the workings of the McKinley tariff have not been re­ deemed. For the first two weeks of Jan uary, 1891, being the first two weeks of the fourth month of the new tariff,, our exports from New York alone have been greater by 12 per cent than during the first two weeks of 1890. Imports for the same time have decreased 15 per cent, that is we have kept 15 per cent more our own money at home than we did the first two weeks of January, 1890 and have received 12 per cent more money from abroad. Our income from one 1 of trade is 12 per cent greater, and outgo is 15 per cent less. The promise that clothing and all woolen fabrics would increase in price is also a delusion, for the merchantile reports say that- clothing of all kinds never sold as cheap before and that the trade ha# been satis­ factory. It is also true that print cloths have sold at the lowest price ever re­ corded, while the bottom has fallen en­ tirely out of sugar. A big cry was m^ide over tin. In August last, Norton Bros., the largest tin manufacturers in the world, sold tin cans at $3 per hundred, and notwithstanding the McKinley bill they are now selling the same cans at $2 per hundred. Oh, yes, "the tariff's a tax," plaintively murmurs the Demo­ s' Oratic parrot. Have You Bead The Riddle of the Sphinx," by X. B Ash by, Lecturer of theNational Farmers' Alliance?
