THE ELECTIONS.
T**nty-flvo States will elect pover- I

November. Most of three States will J
ulxo chooss legislature* ami o.thfcr Slats

which do not elect governors will elect ,
minor State offlrerj uad legislature*. j
All tUo State? with the exception ol
(y?gori, w litre the election has already
, .taken place, will elect delegations to
the house of representative*.
Tho Stale and congressional tlls-irlcl
conventions which have already been
held afford koiiiv Idea of th<s I S3 no? on 1

a number of Instance a Democratic etfj
Kepuhllcan conventions havo "reaf

national conventions of lb'9?J in favor
of freo sliver or of the maintenance
of tho gold ?Iandaid. Hut new ques
tions, arising from the war, (specially
that of possible teuitorlai expansion,
are finding a place in political i> 1 :i t -
forms; but there is no definite agree
ment upon them In tji c conven'tOns of
eith-.w political party.
Tho alllanccK between Democrat*
and tho People's party, which ligurcd
ko prominently in the presidential
election, are being renewed In some
Instances and dissolved In others, thV*
policy varying with tho differing de
'greea of intensity of feeling upon tho
financial question, aiol alno with tha
ease or difficulty of distributing uqm

A single shade is not an expensive thing, but if the entire house
must be filled out with new ones, the bill will be one of the largest of
the house-cleaning series* Have you ever cleaned the shades with
Ivory Soap ? T ry it and make the old ones look like new.
Lay the shade on a smooth table, brush off the dust lightly, then
wipe with a soft rag. Make a basin of light sudj with Ivory Soap cut
inlo chips and dissolved in hot water} cool until luke-warm.
Take some of the suds on a damp sponge, washing only a small
part at a time and quickly wiping off with the sponge wlii^h has been
dipped in clear water and squeezed. Wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Avoid usi.ig too much water. Hang the shade as soon as finished, but
do not roll up until dry.
Don't start house-cleaning without plenty of Ivory Soap.

the importance of having a

Political Uses of Tin.
"An ordinary political campaign,"'
naid :i novelty manufacturer, "is not
:in unmitigated evil to nil branches of
trade. Among those that profit by It
aro the tin can manufacturers. Most
of the campaign buttons are made of
tin; and when a big political struggle
is expected the makers send out
agents through the tin factories of the
South to buy uphill the waste tin and
useless cans thity can find to make
their buttons with. Most of the cam
paign buttons are made In Newark,
and the amount paid by the makers
! to the can factories, particularly those
j of Baltimore, Is considerable^" even
though the tin Is waste. If anything
cau*be called waste nowadays. Nor is
the tin waste useless, oven when no
political excitement Is on. I know a
man who visits Baltimore at regular
Intcnaals and buys all the scrap tin
he can find and sells It to the button
makers. It Is used for the backing of
ordinary buttons. Any day. In part*
of Brooklyn, yoo can mo* wagose
loaded with scrap 'tin and qM eta*
The greater part of thia goes to the
