VICTOBY ONLY POSTPONED. Tins FIGHT FOR SILVER HAS JUST BEGirx.

Democracy's Battle Against Plutocracy Will Be Fought to a Finish, and the Final Result Is Not In Doubt—-The People Are Bound to ’ Triumph. The Democrats lost the fight this : ! time. The forces arrayed against thorn from without, combined with treachery j from within, were too strong to be over- j ’ oome in a four mouths' campaign, al* | . though for its rigor, and aggressiveness j that campaign will bo forever memorable in the history of American politics. In view of the fact that the Democrats j entered the campaign with a disorgaut ized national committee and with state | committees that had to be reconstructed i | in various states, and in view of the j | further fact that a campaign which was j begun at a disadvantage had to be eon- | ducted without adequate means, the result, though disappointing, is not discouraging. And no true Democrat doubts that victory is only postponed. The battle for the gn at principles embodied jn the Chicago platform will be resumed to- j S day. They will triumph in 1900. They j j are essential to the safety and prosper!- ‘ ty of the American people, and if this J republic is to endure, the ascendency of money over mauhood cannot lung, be maintained. Prosperity cannot return j to the country under the gold standard, and harsh experience will in four years teach the people the lessons which they ; have refused to learn from those who i faced obloquy, abuse and ostracism in championing their cause. Another fact which no true Democrat will challenge is that this defeat is glo j rious in comparison with the supposed j victory which the party wou in lSi'2. j | The most humiliating defeat that ever ! befell the Democratic party and one of j j the greatest calamities that ever befell; the American people was the election of Grover Cleveland as the instrument of the boud syndicate and Standard Oil plutocrats in 1898. It is worth all the expenditure of time and effort during the campaign just closed to rid the Democratio party of the representatives of plutocracy who for 20 years have diverted it fn in its high fun* tions as the party of the people. A far worse defeat than that which P befell it would be amply compensated if nothing more were accomplished than ridding it of Cleveland and iamBut much more has beeu accomplished. In the nation and in all the states the Democratic organization is now controlled by democrats. This organisation will be strengthened and perfected during the next four years. The open traitors have been gotten rid of. They will be compelled to take their places in the Republican ranks. The secret traitors who have not yet disclosed themrelvea will be ferreted out by the hard test erf disaster, and their places will be taken by men who will never cease the fight for popular rights until the fight is won. The battle between Democracy and plutocracy will be fought to a finish, and no quarter will be asked or given.— St Louis Post-Dispatch. CAMPAIGN OF 11XX). It Was Opened Several Days Ago lu South Dakota. Senator Pettigrew opened the presi- j dential campaign of 1900 at Sioux Fails ; a few evenings since and addressed the largest audience ever gathered in that j city. It was announced as tho begin- j mug of the bimetallic fight of four years hence and proved to be th© sensation of the fall. The senator said that ho would render McKinley every aid possible for him j to demonstrate that the tariff was what1 j ailed the country, but wanted to put; j himself on record by saving that he ! would resist every section of a tariff bill i that provided for a tariff on any article 1 controlled by a trust This created a sensation, and the demonstration that followed was tremendous. The senator received a great reception ; at the close of his speech.

A New Way to Preserve Credit. | There can bo bo object for conct iling the j tmi thatuluoe the l«t of July wo haw, expend* i ed t3Ei.UUO.UOV in exee** of our revenues. ThU ' fabt.1 cannot bo ignored. It should be regarded j as a serious mutter. Front whence U derived tiut money paid out in excess of tucaiae! It is j derived from the sale of bonds, and the sale > of bonds means that we are carrying on the j j business of the cation upon borrowed muney j . to the previse extent of the excess of expendi- ; J tuivs beyond revenue*. If there is no other I i way to bring the revenues up to the expend! ! i turns, w* uiu»t continue to borrow, for the ! credit i t the nation imi>i and .'■hall be pro- , served. — Philadelphia North American. Bom-wiujj is indeed a now way to preserve credit It ustd to beconsidered the surest way to destroy credit. A Spoils Administration. With McKinley in the White House j there will be a great many changes in j the departments. They will be reorganised with the thoroughness which has characterised tto^ management of McKinley's campaign. Mark Hanna is a gr at believer in the idea of depositing the spoils with the victors, and Mr. Me- j Ki nicy's administration as governor of Ohio demonstrated his ability to hustle j Democrats and superannuated Republican* out of choice roosting places.— j Washington Post Useless For Good. There is no triumph for Mr. MoKin- ( ley. The Canton man Is a mere cipher j- —a tool in the hands of oorrupt masters. ; We have no need to ask what Mr. MeI Kiuley will do. The trusts and cam- 1 | bines have elected a puppet—a bettor ; man than Cleveland, but equally as use- j I less in any good cause.—St Louts Poct- ! Dispatch.

THE HOUSEHOLD. ' Modern Serving of the Th&nkarivia* Feast — A Repeating Tack Hammer— Makin* Spanish Hash.

In the times of oar forefathers Thanks* giving was literally a day of giving thanks for mercies past received and a day of real fasting. Now it bos become a day of family reunions and feasting, and the dinner is the feature of the day, remarks Good Housekeeping in preface to suggestions for the proper serving of the feast. Some of the dishes can be made the day before Thanksgiving and tkhs save much time. The table should be set early in the day with spotless linen, shining silver and clear glass. A ccn* terpiece of flno embroidery and a bowl of gay colored chrysanthemums add to the attractiveness of the table. Individual taste has a wide range in table decoration. Each hostess will decide for herself what to use in the way of dinner cards, bonbons, bread and butter plates and doilies. If the dinner is served late in the day, a pretty effect is made on the table by the use of two silver caudelabra with wax candles the color of the flowers used for decoration, or two little glass lamps with colored shades can be placed at each side of the centerpiece. Nothing can be handsomer on a dinner table than a linen ciotb of flue texture and graceful pattern. It is wise to avoid too much decoration and to approach simplicity, as the main object of dining is to satisfy the appetite and not to- tiro the eye with elaborate adornment. After the table is arranged the dishes needed for serving the dinner should be placed on a side table or 'n the kitchen pantry. Everything shou d be at hand so that the waitress can give her attention to the table service. There are certain time honored staples which are expected to form a part of every Thanksgiving dinner, such as turkey, cranberry sauce and pies. Years ago it was the custom to load the tabte with dainties of every description. The European fashion of serving a dinner ia courses has come more' aud more into favor aud has much to recommend it. The eye is not bewildered by such au array of food, there is moro space on the table, and a waitress can serve the dinner in courses more easily. The following menu preserves the main features of the old fashioned dinner aud adds some modern notions: ^Oysters on the half shell. Korso rauish. , ■ Consomme Julienne. Browned crackers. Roues turkey, cranberry sauce. Celery. Rieed potato. Baited squash. Creamed onions. Bread ami butter. Sandwiches. Chicken pie. Fried sweet potatoes. Pickles. » Celery and vradnut salad. Rolls. Squash pie. Minoe pk>. Cheese. Xuttifrntti. Macaroons. Glaeed fruit. Salted ahnonus. Chocolates. Malaga grapes. Orwigcs. • Nuts and raisins. Coffee. Sweet eider. A Repeating Tack Hammer. An invention has been perfected that docs away with the necessity of the housewife leaving the saucer or paper of tacks eternally standing around in unexpected places when carpets are being pat down. It is a repeating tack hammer, which, as described by the New York Journal, consists of a reservoir designed to feed tacks through the throat of the instrument, combined with a small electric motor which upon releasing the leve r strikes the tack a blow, driving it into whatever material the instrument may be held against The current for the operation of the motor is supplied by means of flexible cords connected to any source of current that may be available. All that is necessary for the operator to do is to place the threat of the instrument at whatever point it is desired to placo a tack or other small nail, pull the lever, and the operation is completed. Parsnip Fritters. Undoubtedly the best manner of cooking parsnips is as fritters, according to Mrs. Henderson: Scrape and, if large, cut them. Put iuto well salted boiling Witter and boil till tender. Then mash them, adding to U or 5 parsnip* a heaping teikspoonful or, hour, l or 3 eggs well beaten; pepper and salt to taste. Form the mixture into siuall cakes three-quar-ters of an inch thick and fry on both sides to a delicate\ Ibrown, with a little hot batter. Serve box

Spanish Hash. There is authority for ’^he statement that American men haveWvor failed to appreciate the chafing ami product known as Spanish bash. It is simply chopped raw beef ami pork fitet, then chopped red pepper, raisins, oliveValmonds, anions and enough egg to'bn.d all together. \ French Toast. Make French toast of your dry bread. To a well beaten egg add a little suit and half a pint of sweet milk. Dip each slice in this. When soft, bat not so as to break, fry on a well buttered gridd;e until brown on each side. Sprinkle with sugar and serve. Breakfast Gems. A cup of sweet milk, 1H cups flour, an egg, a teaspoon salt, a teaspoon baking powder, beaten together five minutes. Bake in hot gem pans in a hot oven about 15 minutes. Haphazard Jottings. Dripless tea strainers are a boon to careful housewives. Lunch cups and trays In decorated Dresden china continue to please. Silver gilt and colored enamels afford gorgeous effects in bonbon, dessert and coffee spoons. An attractive addition to the furnishings for, a lady’s escritoire and likely to prove popular Is the sterling silver postal scale. There is a demand for cot glass dishes in small rises and odd shapes for bolding hotter balls olives, salted aim
