Very simple things often add greatly to, life's comfort and the economy of the housekeeper s time and labor. If you will cover all the shelves in the kitchen with oil cloth, an occasional wiping or dusting is all that is needed to Keep them clean, instead of scouring them or changing the paper on them every few a ays. A modern flour bin and sifter placed near the kitchen cabinet, will enable the housewife to secure her flour, sifted and ready to use. The round inside lids of lard cans, which almost any grocer will give you for the asking, can be used to pound steak or cut bread on, or as a molding board to roil pie crust, biscuits or cookies on. A wire soap rack saves the soap, and l. a. t a Keeps it ciean ana ary. a disn mop saves tne Hands and enables one to use very hot water. A section from a worn- out mowing machine is an excellent scraper for cleaning the corners of i kitchen sink or other places that are dif hcult to get ah Asbestos mats cost only a few cents, and are practically indestructible. When put under a kettle of preserves. Or any thing that is likely to scorch, they save mucn watcmng and worry.. A box of pulverized borax will be found useful for dozens of household purposes. There is nothing better for cleaning sponges, brushes and combs, doing the work quickly and thoroughly Borax is used in the laundry to purify tne naoy s underwear, and give fresh ness to its dainty dresses and. fine linen. It softenshard water, making it as good lor wasning as rain water, and does not fade the colors of delicate fabrics. A steam cooker is a venreonvenien article that will save fuel and labor. Pared potatoes and ears of corn may be put in one part, green beans or other vegetables in another, and a custard or pudding in the third. Then put them over one burner of a gasoline stove, and everything will be cooked to perfection without danger of burning. E. J. G.

Mark Hanna's plan to have all the survivors of the first republican conven tion present at Philadelphia and by their presence give standing and author- ty to the gray haired old robbers who have stolen the livery of Abe Lincoln and a once respectable name in which to serve the devil and his millionaire co horts, was the most celebrated, failure that a politician or political boss ever met with in the United States. Even the humble old chaplain who made the prayer at the first convention refused to appear and an arch bishop of the mod ern sort made the supplications in the form of a written political speech read from manuscript. One reporter, of the Thunder Maker Harrison sort, tele graphed that there were fifteen of the old delegates present. The truth was that there were four and they were kept entirely in the back ground for fear that they might, as they thought of the old times, begin to talk of "Freemont, free speech and free men." One of these delegates upon receiving Mark Banna's letter of invitation wrote that old political boss a letter containing one of the most stinging rebukes ever pnt in print. ' The whole letter would till four columns of the Independent and the following are extracts from it. The writer, ex Governor Sidney Edgerton, of Akron, Ohio, although he is 81 years old, is still in possession of all his faculties and wields as vigorous a pen as any man of the younger generation who has suc ceeded him. Gov. Edgerton still clings to the principles of the republican party as announced in their hrst conventions and that being the case, he is of neces sity an ardent Bryan man. He says in reply to Mark s letter: "The Philadelphia convention of 1856 was made up of men who had convic tions of political right and duty and the courage of them. And they came to gether for conference and comparison of views, to the end that by wise and toler ant concert of political effort the welfare of the people might be promoted and the great cause of human liberty be ad vanced. Tha Philadelphia convention of 1900 has, for its sole work to ratify and register a political rescript set forth by one man, having for its purpose to perpetuate in power an administration which has wholly disregarded the inter ests of the masses. "The convention held in Philadelphia in lSoo addressed its declaration of doc trine to those who were in favor of restoring the action of the federal gov ernment to the principles of W ashington and Jefferson,' and it accordingly 'Re solved, That Uhe . maintenance " 6f the" principles promulgated in the Declara tion of Independence, and embodied in ' the federal constitution,, is essentia! to the preservation of our republican insti-; utions. And again it 'Resolved, That with our republican fathers we hold it to be aalf-evident truth that all men are endowed with the inalienable rights to ife. liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that the primary object and ulterior design of bur federal government were to secure these rights to all persons within its exclusive jurisdiction.' , "The Philadelphia convention of this year , will be made up of men in. whose view 'the principles of VV ashington and Jefferson' are avowedly antiquated and far out of date useful only in the ora tions of the Fourth of July or the warmed-over porch platitudes of a political campaign; and it will in terms, couaten-. ance a policy, which denies to. 10,000,000 of 'persons within our exclusive jurisdic tion the 'inalienable rights which in its earlier days the republican party guar anteed to maintain a policy which avows its purpose of governing subject people without their consent, outside of constitutional principles and safeguards, at the caprice of irresponsible appointees, or a .yenak majority in congress, and in flagrant and derisive violation of the 'principles of Washington and Jefferson' and of those 'promulgated in the Decla ration of Independence and embodied in the federal constitution.'. "Shortly before the convention of 185G man of some prominence " then and later said 'When a white man governs himself, , that is self-government, but when he governs himself and 'also gov ems another man. that is more than self-government that is despotism:.; "W hat I do say is that no man is good enough to govern another man without that others consent. , Little by little, but as steadily as man's march to the grave, we have been giving up the old for tne new faith. JNear eighty years ago we began by declaring that all .men are created equal, but now feom that begin ning we have run down to the other declaration that for some men to enslave others i3 a 'sacred right of self-govern ment.' These principles cannot stand together. They are as opposite as God and Mammon. '.. "The utterer of these words was Abra ham Lincoln. Was he a republican or not? Measured by the standard of 1856, plainly he was. Judged by . the test which will govern the Philadelphia con vention this year, just as plainly he was not. - "The time was in the history of the party when .it chose its public servants for their capacity, their integrity, and their allegiance to principle. Now ole aginous mediocrity : may fill the highest position within its bestowal, and places may be sought and obtained from the most sordid motives. "A purchased seat in the senate is no longer esteemed a disgrace to the pur chaser, while the purchased are reward ed with federal appointments, and he who is most astute in obstructing an in vestigation and in instructing witnesses not to answer is intrusted with the pros ecution of the common offenders whom want or misfortune has impelled to crime. Hypocncy masquerades as politi cal virtue, and platforms constitute only abortive attempts to cover up the naked ness of a bad record with the fig leaves of proud professions and fair promises, coupled -with swelling appeals to the glorious lineage and historic past of the party.; v ' ' . . . : ., 'If a pledge 'to Tepear or emasculate the amendment could be hopefully used as a trap to catch a single southern elec- tonal vote, I predict it would-be forth coming. Tne past record of the party imposes the duty upon the convention to make good its. early pledges by making some deliverance" on the subject. It makes another reason why I cannot at tend that convention, that this implied promise is to be ' ruthlessly and con -temptuously broken.' r ., ; "I might enumerate other points in which "the "old convention and the new are repugnani.tq each other in matter of substance and principle, so that to coun tenance by my attendance' the latter would be to stultify myself as a member of the former. But these. I concede, are enough. , , "The last words spoken by an ulustri ous and patriotic namesake, Algernon Sidney, as he laid his head upon the block on Tower Hill, was to tnank his Maker for the opportunity of saying a final word 'for that old cause, in which 1 was from my youth engaged the 'old cause,' as he emphatically called the cause of constitutional liberty. . . . "I, too, am. grateful that I have been spared thus to bear witness to the same end." " V Very sincerely yours. "Sidney Edgbbtox. "Hon. M. A. Hanna." , . . . . . , Still They Come. ; Senator Talbot, a republican senator in the last legislature and tho former law partner of Mr. Bryan gave the fol lowing statement to the press last Fri - day: f ' - . I shall support the democrat! 3 ticket. because I believe the platform adopted at Kansas City in its dominant features expresses my opinion exactly.: Three Hanks in particular, those covering the eading issues of the pending campaign, particularly appeal to me. - They are the plank against imperialism, the one against trusts - and -the ' expression of sympathy for the Boers. They expre the essence of true Americanism, and 1 would support any maa 1 thought would carry out Ihose principles, as opposed to the policy bemg-pursued by the present administration. I agree absolutely with the .democratic patty of these proposi tions,' and believe firmly that Mr. Bryan willcarrymt the principles of his plat form, if elected. 1 believe Mr. Bryan to be tfee highest type of American states man. I know him better than any liv ing man, and 1 say without the least equivocation tHat his character is of the highest, he is absolutely sincere in all he says and does, -and his integrity cannot be questioned. Tshali do'all in my pow er to secure his election. Farming in Colorado ami "New Mexico.
