All the great party leaders care for us is our votes, which they hope will be cast as per centralized arrange ment, with the expressed proviso that not even a member of the cab inet will be vouchsafed us. It is only of late years that a president has felt it even his duty to even call on us while in office. President Haves breaking the record in that respect and President Harrison following suit in '91. Mr. Cleve land did manage to get ns far west as St. Louis, but, all west of the Mississippi river is terra incognito to him and he probably has as good an idea of how Omaha looks as he has of California and Oregon. The man who has failed to visit the Pacific const has no idea of our country's greatness and is not fit to be president. Jt is pretty near ly time the coast asserted itself in this matter and demanded some thing more at the hands of the government than ft pimple change of postmasters and revenue col lectors. The Salem Statesman puts it up this way: The dispatches from : Washington Saturday brought the now! of a result that will enliven "next year in the first llad Mr. Her- thair prs irmanship of irs committee, Jtly entitled by fot precedence,, lie A the retfuolicarf sixth UnMUiKJU ion position. 1 strongly i ueefulnee serious! rik. i 1 MofBid the advantage thus gained by long years oi service, uu. me pr.ze slipped from Mr. Hermann's eager grasp.

The war is now on. It will furnish some fun for those who take interest in political af fair. which includes nearly every body. - The Spokesman-Review very cruelly throws cold water down the backs of the populist who are ea ger for British gore, by giving in ternational law to the effect that a war with Great Britain does not mean repudiation of debts owed to the citizens of either country by treaty between the two nations. It slaps a plaster over the sore, how ever, by winding up as follows: "It needs to bo added, however, that with a populist congress at the helm, all debts owing from the Uuited States to England might be repudiated in defiance of treaty, and the act of repudiation would stick provided we whipped Eng land." On another page of this week's Press will be found an amusing lotiAr written to the Walla Walla Statesman from the "East End."

You can tell at a glance the French woman from the American, the latter from the English woman, and yet, aaya the Paria-New York Herald, each wom an is a perfect type. . The well-dressed Frenchwoman wean a very large hat or exquisite toane: her chiffon blouse has short sleeres, and is made with turndown collar; ber glores are very long, reach ing far abore the elbow, and, although white, are perfectly clean and fresh. She has a waist at wnateTer saennce, also hips. , She wears a white reu, which she nerer putson, under her hat, and when she walks, which is seldom, it is on the tips of her toes. f The well-dressed JSngiisb woman wears in the morning a man's colored shirt, with white collar, a man's neck tie, a tailor-made white drill or holland jacket and skirt, a pretty hat with flow- ... ... . 5 1L - 1 ers, witn veu piasierea vver wms xww u keep the fringe in curl.

With jrreat acute ness she selects the best points of each, but you would nerer take her for any body but herself. She is rather inclined to the enormous hats of the French, but she does not wear short sleeves and low necks with them. She is always appropriately dressed and has a costume for every occasion which always seems the very best thing that she could have chosen. She seems to hare calculated all weathers and all occurrences with an eye to her dress-whence her success. ANTS AGAINST SNAKE. Humbert Vfon la a Long; nd Exciting Battle. "While camping in Alabama during the late war," said Col. II. C. Crossman of Dayton. 0., according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "I witnessed an attack of a band of black ants upon striped snake. "One evening, while I was trying to go to Meep, after a long day's march felt something move under my head. lifted one corner of the blanket and found a snake between three and four feet in length. I quickly hit it with a small stick, but the reptile seemed hardly stunned by the blow, so I picked ft up on the end of the stick and threw it about fifteen feet away. The snake landed on a large ant hill. Almost in' itantly the ants poured forth fro .heir nest, which was underneath, aad egan a vigorous attack upon the in ruder, who was soon covered by scores f his assailants, biting him fearfully. Che battle raged with fury, the snake vrithing about in torture. "The contest at first seemed an un gual one, for the snake was rapidly 'binning out his persecutors, but on ,he other hand, the ants were numer jus and quick in tHeir aggressive movements. The snake with one blow af his tail would kill or wound a long line of ants, but the active little crea- ture8 were boon rcinforced by frestf troopsj!' fought with a desperation wonderful to beho behold. I was astonished 1 a . 41. a . : - . he ants.

'The moon after a time lit up the scene, ut as there appeared no near termination of the straggle I gave up watching -it and, stretching m.viwlf again on my blanket, went to sleep, liuforo striking tents the next morning I I went to look ot the battle ground, The slain insects were scattered In every direction, but there were sis or seven watchful ants upon the back of the pnake, which lay tr etched put dead near the ant hill." Lord Bowen, an English judge, was once tempted to sum up ironically. It was tho case of a burglar who had bin caught, having entered from the roof and taken he precaution to leave his boots on top, ijlt defense was that he was in the habit of taking midnight strolls on the roofs of houses, and that he was tempted by curiosity to have a Jpk at one of the interiors. Lord Uowaij said, sarcastically: "If, gentle men of the jury, you think it probable that the prisoner eoHsjdered the roofs of tlio houses a salubrious place for an evening walk) if you suppose tha( the temptation to inspect the interior of the houses beneath him was the out come of a natural and pardonable curi Hty, In that case, of course, you will acquit him, and regard him as a thoughtful and considerate man, who would naturally remove his boots be fore entering the house, and take every precaution not to disturb his neighbors." To the judge's amazement, the jury took him at his word and ac quitted the prisoner. Lord Bowen never attempted to joke with a jury "Saved My Life" VETERAN'S STORY. "Several years, ago, while in Fort Snelling, Minn., I caught a severe cold, attended with a terrible cough, that allowed ino no rest day or night. The doctors after exhaust ing their remedies, pronounced my case hopeless, say ing they could do no more for me. At this time a bottle of AYER'S Cherry Tectoral was yjj'sent to me by a I friend who urged ',V m t take it, which I did, ami soon after I was greatly relieved, and in a short time was completely cured. I have never had much of a cough since that time, and I firmly believe Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved my lire." AV.,11. Wakd, 8 Quimby At., Loire 11, Mass.
