Tub Itepublicans will have two in a
jority in the seaale until the incoming
states choose their senators. Then the
republican party will have ten majority.
Tub Greenfield Transcript says: '

We
the
men who fought the battles or 18Ss are
not shown proper respect. To the victor
belongs the spoils says the Bourbon
democracy. To the victor belongs re

tion was over and the republican victory
proclaimed, the democracy has tried to
invent some ingenious method of brin

such heroes of the hour into contempt,
they have actually failed in their attempt.
Yet, there are those, who through a spirit
of jealousy claiming to be republicans,
assist democracy in casting these dishon

contain a large amount of honesty.
AMERICAN FABRICS FROM
AMERICAN DESIGNS,
General Harrison and his family believe
in protection: more than that, they are
patrons of home made goods. And Mrs.
Harrison, in the furtherance of these pat
riotic ideas, resolving on a departure
from precedents, decided to appear at
the inaugural ball attired in an American-
made dress, fresh ftom the looms of an
American manufactuier. Mrs. Harrison
accordingly invited Colonel E. D. "Wood
ruff, president of the Logan Silk Mills,
of Auburn. N. Y.. to Indianspohs in
consultation, and, in conversation on the
subject. Colonel Woodruff suggested
that the dress should be original in de
sign, purely American in all its features.
Mrs. Herrison selected and deter minad on
the bur-oak leaf as the pattern. This
oak grows in perfection in Southern
Indiana and flourishes on the Tippecanoe
farm.
Mrs. Harrison decided on the pattern
in December, and as no oak leaf in per
fect state could be found, the trees having
Ions since lost their foliasre. she sum
moned to her aid in this matter Miss
Williamson, of La Fayette, Ind., an ar
tist or ability. Miss Williamson sup
plied the needed sketch from memory
and from this sketch the Losran Silk
Mills worked out the design of the oak
leaf an-l burr.
The work on the design is exceedingly
elaborate, requiring four weeks of
constant application of the best designer
in the employ of the mills. The pattern
for the skirt of the dress consists of four
panels, the oak leaf and burr worked on
each panel, in form and color remarkably
close to the original. The effect is rich
and striking. It is claimed by the makers
that this is the most elaborate work ever
attempted and accomplished on silk
looms in America. A proof of the pat
tern was sent from Auburn to Mrs. Har
rison at Indianapolis in January. Mrs.
Harrison not only gave it her approval
but expressed astonishment that such ex
quisite fabric could be produced in this
country. The material for the entire
dress is the product of the Logan Silk
Mills.
The dress is a combination of brocade
on a satin of French gray, with a faille
to match. It is made by Ghormley, of
Minete?nth-sL, New York. He has used
a faille of the same shade as the tinge of
the oak leaf, which is near an apricot,
and overlaid it with a magnificent flounce
of lace, both being laid in lengthwise;
plaits in front of skirt and in the centre
of sides to divide the two panels. The
panels are seven inches wide and forty
inches long, the design woven in the cen
tre of the width to a graceful point at
the top; each edge of the panel is faced
with an insertion of lace and edged with
a short fringe of gold and silver.
The long train, which is all of plain
faille, has a slight fullness at the top; the
waist is cut low, V shape back and front,
then finished up to the neck with a closely
fitted piece of bead work in gold and
silver; elbow sleeves finished with p.n-
s 'mentene in metal eiiect wun goiu snu
silver; the same finishes the neck, aud
from all hangs an effective fringe in gray,
gold and silver.
MAN AND Kid SHOES.
How much a man U like his shoes!
For Instance, both a soul may lose;
:Oi have been tanned: both are made tight
I'.y cobbler; both get luft and right;
both ni a muUi to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
Aud both in time will turn to mold.
With shoe the lout U flrat; with men
The flrat shall bo the hutt, and u liro
The shoes wear out they're mended new.
When men wear out they're men dead, toot
They both are tread upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loath;
both have their ties, and both incline,
When politihed, in the world tosliinc;
And both peg out. Now would you choose
To tH a miin or Le liLi fchoe?

ANOTHER CASHIER GONE.
"Where's the cashier?" asked Mr.
Armsto:k, a director of the Second Bul
lion bank in Chicago, as he noticed that
that useful officer was missing.
I belie vo, sir, replied the clerk ad
dressed, "that ho left last night on a
littlo vacation."
"Midwinter is rather a curious time to
take a vacation in," growled old Arm
stock. "Where has lie gone to?"
"1 don't know, sir. I think ho went
to Milwaukee. His folks livo there.
The director 6aid no more. Ho and
the cashier had never been tho best
.f friends, and it was rumored that on
.i certain occasion when A r ins toe k was a
trifle short tho cashier had refused to
accommodate him temporarily unless
sufficient collateral were put up or orders
brought to him from the president.
Arnistock thought it rather hard to be
refused by one of his own understrappers
in his own bank, or at least in a bank
that was partly, his, and he claimed that
.i cashier that was bo obtrusively honest
was sure to come Jo a bad end. So when
Mr. Armstock found that the cashier had
taken a vacation at such an untimely
season ho made a littlo investigation on
his own account and the next day sought
an interview wi(If Mr. Vindex, the bank
president.
"Mr. Brown has taken a few days on,
i understand?"
"Yes. Ho was somewhat run down
tnd lie asked for a couple of weeks and
.jot it. Business is very slack just now,
Sir. Armstock."
"It didn't strike you as a little unusual
that he should ask for leave of absence
in the depth of winter, did it?"
"I can't say Jljat it did."
"Do you know where be has gone?"
"I did not ask him where ho was
;oing. I believe he went to Milwaukee.
Sot sure, though. Did you want him?"
"I hope we shalj not all want him.
Would you be surprised' to know- Ui&t he
bought a ticket for Montreal and that he
is undoubtedly a member of the great
American colony there at this moment."
"Montreal?" e'xclairuod the president,
looking a trifle taken aback, for h bad
every confidence in Mr. Brown.
"Yes, Montreal. Doesnt the name
;triko vou as a trifle ominous? Thero
are quito a number of financial operators
in that city!"
Tho president 6at a few moments in
,ilence. Then he said:
"Did you wish to make any propos-
tion, Mr. Armstock?"
"Yes. I wish to know how tho books
tand. I think a meeting of the direct-
rs should be called at once."
" cry well, foupposing we act on
.our first proposition. I think you will
then find we need not act on tho second.
I mi 'ht say that it is advisable not to say
i word about this to anybody until we
are certain mat mere is sometning to
ay."
'It seems to me that tho directors
urlit to know without delay what has
liap'K-ned."
'Vell, wliat has happened? hat
. i m ii XT'
Have you to lay ueioro mem.' loung
3rov:i is in Montreal, that's all. I have
verv confidence in Brown, but still I
juito see that perhaps it is better to have
i loo": at the books. But until something
moro definite is known I must insist that
nothing tliat might jeopardizo his repu-
atk:i be said.
Th -j expert speedily made his report.

.vbero a bundle of government bonds
were, inis punuie a mount eu to
000.
Do vou know anything of these
bonds?" asked Mr. Armstock.
"They are in tho cashier's private
drawer in the safe, replied the pres
dent.
"Have you a key?"
"No. I have not."
"Then I propose that the drawer be
bunt open. If the bonds are there I
will pay for setting tho drawer right
again.
Tho drawer was burst open.
It was empty.
There was a rather serious meeting of
the directors that afternoon, and it was
agreed that if possible all publicity should
be voided and that tho president and
Mr. Armstock should proceed at once to
Montreal and see if it wa3 possible to get
back any or all of the bonds.
t
The rotunda of the Windsor hotel in
Montreal presented a strange sight to the
two gentlemen from Chicago on tne
night of their arrival there. Such a sight
could probably be 6een in no other place
in tho world. Everybody seemed to be
in snow shoe costume, and some even
had on their broad snow shoes and went
clamping awkwardly over the tiled
pavement in this foot gear, which, how-
- , . 1 f IT 1
ever useiui on me snow neiua, Beemeu
somewhat uncouth in a big hotel A
dozen clubs were represented with a
dozen different costumes, some like the
rainbow in color, others almost pure
white with a dash of red in the stockings
and a touch of blue in the toque.
"Is there a Mr. Brown stopping here
asked Armstock of the busy clerk.
Thero are seventeen Mr. Browns
here."
"From the United States."
"Eight are from the United States."
"This is Mr. Brown, of Chicago.
"There are five Browns of Chicago."
"It is Mr. James Brown v. e v.TJit to
see."
There are tvro James Brow:: from
Chicago."
It Menu useless to try to see any par
ticular man in this hurrying crowd. So
the two men thought they would wait
until the different club:! had started out
on their tranips. This hotel is tho head
quarters of most of the snowshoe clubs
and the trumps usually begin and often
end there. As the two men watched the
6tirring scene they were suddenly ac
costed by a man in snow-shoe uniform.
Well, 1 declare! When did you get
in? Why didn't you let me know you
were coming? But now tliat I recollect
you did not know that I was here. I'm
mighty glad to see you. This is the spot
where life is worth living.
"Mr. Brown," said Vindex solemnly.
"I never expected this of you."
"Why not? They all do it."
"I regret, tc say that very many of
them do, but I thought better of you.
"I don't see why I shouldn't have a
good time as well as anybody else,
Seems to me I have worked hard enough
in Chicago for the last fivo years to have
earned it.
"Oh, that is the way you look upon it,
is itf broke in Mr. Armstock.
"Thero is littlo use of talking to you, I
can 6ee that. Now, pf course, you can
not bring back to Chicago all the money
you took witri you?
"Of course, I can't. You don't think
I can live herp for nothing, do you?"
"Haven't you any senno of shame at
all, Mr. Brown?"
"Shame?" said Brown. looking down
at his blanket. "Look here, I have
every respect for the opinion, of you two
estimable gentlemen, but don t vou
think you are a little ridiculous? Not to
put too fine a point on it, might I ask
what business it is of yours, anyhow? A
person would not appear n a Chicago
hotel in this costume, but here it is a dif
ferent matter. It is the custom of the
town."
"We are here to know," said Armstock,
what terms v;a can make with you.
How many of the bonds will you give us
back if nothing more is said of tho mat
ter?"
"Bonds? What bonds?"
"Bonds to tho amount of 8260,000 that
were In your private drawer.'
Mr. Brown gave a long whistle.
"Oh, ho!" ho said. "I see how it is.
I am a defaulter, am I? Say, Armstock.
has anything of this got into the papers?'
"jso, luckily ror you. It has not.'f
"Luckily for you, rather. You did
not suppose that I would leave bonds to
that amount in a drawer in a safe that
would bo open every day while I was
away. Any person ot a ptyng turn pf
mind and a chisel could break into that
drawer. The bonds are In the vaults of
the Safe Deposit company of Chicago.
I'm here merely to enjoy the carnival,
and not to join the Axoerjcai colony of
defaulters."
Mr. Brown is now back at his place in
the Second Bullion bank of Chicago, and
speaks in glow'njr terms of the good time
ho had hi Montreal. Luke Sharp in De

A Heavy Expense.
One of the items pf expense pf running
a hotel, from which there is no direct
return, but which is as much of a neces
sity as the maintenance of furniture it
self, is that of paper, envelopes, pens
and ink used by guests. This amounts
to not less than $1,500 per annum in the
Lacieae hotel. Another item is that c
soap and toilet paper, which would foot
up to $500. A very inconsiderable por
tion of the paper used in the writing
room falls into the hands of loungers an-.'
dead beats. Their only chance Is to
grab the odd 6heets of stationery left by
guests on the table, who have secured
what they asked for at the desk. As to
the frequent complaint made by hotel
men of tho expense of maintaining the
public toilet room, tliat is offset by tho
receipts from the boot blacking privilege.

A Cold Cat.
When the Blaines were living at
Washington, some lady heard that their
cook was an unusually good one. The
lady had an ambition to possess one her
self that she might give good dinners,
and she promptly went round, rang the
bell at the front door, and asked to see
Mrs. Blaine's cook, and offered her high
er wages than she was then receiving.
Afterward this lady and Mrs. Blaine met
at dinner. The lady was introduced,
was sugary in her manner, mentioned
her own name to make 6ure Mrs. Blaine
should remember it, and was making
pleasant speeches of all sorts, when Mrs.
Blaino looked at her and said: rOh, yes.
I remember you you called on my
cook," and refrained from adding any
word of explanation. It was rather em
barrassing for the other lady. San
