It is, of course, useless to expect that it will be impossible to make the people like tne present tariff law, a law which even republican conventions refuse to endorse. The Massachusetts election proves that the conventions reflect, the views of the people. We do not wonder that the republicans at Washington are disturbed. They remember the remarkable plurality recently given to the democratic candidate in Mr. DeArmond's old district in Missourit, and now they have this crushing blow in Massachusetts. There is no possibility of explaining it away. Incidentally it may be remarked that the wonderful victory of Mr. Foss is a dreadful blow to the scholar in politics, Henry Cabot Lodge, who, together with Reed Smoot, did such valient service for Senator Aldrich In helping him frame and force through the present tariff law. —Indianapolis rvews.

And now the republican ‘ieaders” say there will be but one chairman of their one-day state Convention-Un-ited States Senator Beveridge. The custom is to make a temporary chairman, but the straddlers propose to take no chances on ex-Governor J. Frank Hanley slipping into the deliberations. They propose to put the United States senator on the ‘‘lid’' and keep him there if their plans are not overthrown. —Fert Wayne Journal-Ga-setts.

of yellow and white, beautified the house and filled the air with fragrance. In the egg hunt, Miss Lucile Hale discovered the greatest number of these colored Easter beauties, and was awarded the first honors which materialized in the form of a box of bonbons. A flower contest was also a delightfully appropriate one in which names of flowers answered certain queries. Miss Rose Dunathan was awarded a bouquet of carnations as the prize, which she shared with those who ‘tied” with her. The pleasure of the afternoon was further enhanced by Gertrude Moses and Mrs. J. O. Sellemeyer, who contributed to the musical program. A luncheon in 1 two courses was served at little tables, charming in their Easter decorations. In the center of each table was a cunning little nest of eggs, surrounded by fluffy yellow chicks. Place cards were decorated with violets, and carnations were given as favors. The invitation list included the following: Misses Winifred Johnson, Edna Hoffman, Pansy Bell, Lucile Hale, Frances Merryman, Madge and Fan Hite, Zoa Miller, Della Sellemeyer, Jean Lutz, Gertrude Moses, Marie Patterson, Midge Smith, Blanche Dibble, Nora Del Smith, Annette Johnson, Rose Dunathan and Mesdames J. O. Sellemeyer, Charles Loch, Henry Heller, Jesse Dailey, Dan Vail, Fred Fruchte, Hugh Hite, Tom Ehinger, Frank Burns, Louis Holthouse, Krank Kern, Glen Glancy, Dr. Neptune, Fred Patterson and E. B. Adams. Miss Frances Bryson of Portland was an out-of-town guest. Miss Grace Dutcher, who lately moved from east of the city to her new home in Root township, was given a most pleasant surprise by .about thirty of her young friends who came unannounced to spend the evening with her. Miss Grace had retired to peaceful slumbers quite early in the evening, and had just drifted away to sweet dreamland, when she was awakened by the shouts and greetings of her friends from without. Though she was indeed surprised, she soon joined them and the evening passed all too quickly for all. Chief of the amusements were the out door games, which were most delightful in the present balmy spring air. Those present were Misses Iva and Nellie Lett, Letitia Singleton, Salopa and Edith Rice, Annlce and Hattie Wilder, Josie Fuhrman, Beulah Fuhrman, Verna ■ V" ■ ;

Mann, Velma Buhler, Ethel Ruckman, Leia Lewton and Messrs. Milton Oscar, Francis and Floyd Fuhrman, Lloyd Davis, David Cook, Delina House, Otto Rice, Richard Butler, Noah Sheets, Clyde Butler, Lawrence and 'Wilson Lewton. Mrs. R. K. Allison was hostess to the Shakespeare club Wednesday afternoon. This session finished the study of the West Indies, the hostess having the paper on "Trinidad,” instead of the assigned subject, "Christmas in the West Indies,” on which it was difficult to find material. The club meets next week with Mrs. Dan Sprang, and will begin the study of the Philippines, in which there will be a series of four papers. Mrs. L. C. Annen, Mrs. Harvey Smith, Mrs. Dallas Butler and Miss Jessie Winness went to Berne today where they were entertained by Mrs. Nell Gottschalk. The Mite society will meet at the Methodist church parlors tomorrow afternoon. Besides the business meeting a musical program will be given and the afternoon promises to be a very pleasant one. An Invitation is extended to all. The birthday dinner given yesterday by Mrs. Nettie Schrock in honor of Mrs. Lucy Root was a very enjoyabe one, shared by the following: guests besides Mrs. Rout: Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb, Mrs. J. C. Patterson, Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer, Mrs. Julia Moses, Mrs. Victoria Hill.
