ing arranged to suit almost any
figure. The skirts are preferably OF
silks and satin, and the polonaises
of cashmere, broche silk, satin mer-
veilleux foulard or grenadine, accord
ing to the occasion or weather. The
garniture is generally black lace, or
jet passementerie, and used prOfuse-
iy or sparingly, according to taste,
and combined with loops of satin,
MORE, or gros-grain ribbon. Many
polonaises are open in front below
the waist, drawn back and caught
up in a few horizontal folds OH the
nips, the back being slightly draped
in two or three places.
The side pieces drawn from
the front form points; the
trimming, whether lace or silk
band, is carried down the front on
each side from the neck and back to
the hips. Sometimes the skirt worn
with this has only a few very deep
plaits in front to give a finished ap-
pearance to the space left by the
open polonaise; or it has two mar
rover rows above the two which en-
circle the entire skirt. The polonaise
is usually long enough to reach these
flounces. Nothing can be easier or
lighter to wear than this style OF
dress, and it is also exceedingly be-
coming. Many jacket and pointed
bodices are made for elderly ladies,
but polonaises are much more popu-
lar. Many dressmakers make little
capes matching the costumes and
send them home with the dress.
These capes scarcely reach the ell
bow, and are trimmed with fringe or
lace, or several satin cordings OF

proper. They take the place of the

The Revenue Marine, Let Tt Alone
The proposition to transfer the revenue
marine from the treasury department. to the
navy is wholly indefensible.
The work of the revenue marine.js all done
In connection with the treasury department
and all of itgrows out of the necessities of
that department. The duties of the revenue
marine are essentially revenue duties. They
prev Mt smuggling, pursue smuggers and
when struggled goods are seized they must
turn them over to the revenue department.
Discharging such duties they must occupy
close and confidential relations with collectors
and otner officers of the revenue, and FREE
quent occasions they must move and act on
the orders OF revenue officers or they would be
useless as agents for preventing frauds or en-
forcing the navigation laws.
1t is true that ell this may be done if this
branch Of the service was turned over to the
navy, but it could not be so we'll done. Made
part of the naval establishment it ceases to
be absolutely under the control and at all
times at the dis posal of the treasury depart
ment. They can be drawn away from service
at needed points and at inappropriate times, and
revenue officers wi i be powerless to prevent
the withdrawal. Ii needed at any point in
stead OF being promptly ordered there as now,
the treasury must solicit their presence from
old in the tolls of red tape the request may be
granted by the navy-if wholly convenient.
Naval officers are good fellows and daring
fellows, and many OF them, if put upon their
own Devices enfranchised of the bureaucracy
and old spiders of the naval department would
make most capital revenue marine officers.
| But in a service where vessels must frequently
| work in shallow water and run dangerously
near to shoals; where they must run of nights
| with the land close aboard, ma al training and
the accountability to which naval officers are
held for running aground, losing spars, and in
| jury to their vessels make them, while under
navy department CONTROL the worst officers in
| the world for that sort of service. Officers who
| are compelled to a certain sort of timidity in
! the naval department would make enterpris ng
l and daring officers in n service less iron bou nd
| and slow in it's methods. But disoharging the
| duties of the revenue marine under control of
the navy, they would discharge it as other
| naval duties are discharged and with the same
| cautions and tedious precision.
| The revenue marine service is most excel
lent as it is. 1t does its work with admirable
precision and promptness. Under the navy it
could not be done better, and it most certainly
would be done worse Therefore it should be
| let alone.

The Dorsey Letters.

The letters furnished TO the New York
Herald by ex-senator Dorsey who is under
Indictment for completely in the alleged
star route frauds have not made the sensa-
tion that Dorsey and the Herald anticipated.
They are of very little consequence. Those
who have read them have found it a dreary
task, and if the object readers sought was
scandal the disappointment must be extreme.
Most of the letters are from the late Presi-
dent Garfield and all are concerning the
campaign of 1880.
In all this correspondence there is abso-
lately nothing new. The letters only repeat
what was already Gnown, that Mr.. Dorsey
was in 1880 regarded as a sagacious politi-
clan and Jealous partisan; that as the
secretary of the national committee he had
much to do with the management of the
campaign; that he enjoyed the confidence of
The party leaders and was in constant cor
respondence with them, making and re-
ceiving suggestions in regard to the conduct
of the canvass; and that for his executive
ability and arduous labors be was praised by
the candidates and other leading men of the
party.
Mr.. Garfield was profuse of thanks, and
hearty in expressing them. 1t was natural
and right that he Should be. At that time
no charge was made that Mr. Dorsey was
guilty of swindling the postal department,
nor any suspicion entertained of his wrong
doing He stood as all men of good repute
stand. He was regarded as sagacious poll
tician, a shrewd organizer, an untiring
worker. The party gladly awaited itself of
his services, and promptly and heartily
thanked him when The work was done.
So matters stood in 1880. Shortly after
Garfield became President the star-route
frauds were discovered and il was suspected
that Dorsey was concerned in them. In
vestigation brought out testimony strong
enough to procure his Indictment What
did President Garfield do? He did just
what an honest magistrate should do. He
directed the investigation to proceed, no
matter who should be injured by its de-
velopmeLts. He had trusted Dorsey, but
he did not permit liking to stand in the way
of bringing guilty man to justice. He de-
termined to probe the scandal to the bot
tom, regardless of personal friendships and
party Affiliations. The course he entered
upon has been pursued by his successor 1t
is the right course. Because these two men
once trusted Dorsey, once believed him hon.
est, should they therefore attempt to shield
him from the law, to cover up bis misdeeds
If he has misdone? Mr.. Dorsey's friends
say yes, and accuse the administration of
ingratitude The people say no, and praise
the administration for its endeavor to bring
guilty men to justice and afford accused
men fair opportunity to make their de

AS might have been expected, the self-im-
plicated individual Westgate, conveyed at
considerable expense by the British govern
ment from Jamaica to Ireland, having ac-
complished his purpose, free trip to his
native sod, now fatty denies guilt and even
repudiates his alleged confession. The au-
thorities are brought face to face with the
eternal conundrum, "What are you going
to do about it?' They cannot punish man
for crime he has not committed the fact
that he has fooled men who assumed to be
sharper than he was cannot be very serious
offence in itself; he probably does not own a
cent, and therefore they cannot recover bach
their outlay upon him. 1t is an old trick,
very boldly played this time, and so far very
successful. II is, however, very plain
proof to the outside world that the detec-
lives are wholly in the dark as to the real
assassins Of Phoenix Park, and the fact is
very little to their credit.

BLACKBURN, Governor of Kentucky, is
said to have pardoned 1900 criminals end re-
mitted fines aggregating 100000 during
his present term. He is also accused Of
having lodged an investigation by the last
Legislature and causing the records of pre-
liminary examination to be destroyed or con-
cealed beyond discovery. The tenderness of
heart which Blackburn's friends assign for
his re mark able exercise of official cemency
is very attractive in the private citizen, bat
in the chief magistrate of State like Ken
lucky its tendency is to place a premium
upon barbarism and crime In Governor
Blackburn's case itrequires some very ingen-
ious juggling to reconcile the idea of his
soft-heartedness now with the dark stories
of his cruelty during the war.

opportunity to prove the foundation of their

ed their exclusion from the Reform. Mr..
Chamberlain now brings suit, laying his

THE Cologne Gazette is authority for the
statement that it is one of the conditions of
the Austro- German alliance that if either
nation is attacked from two sides the other
must help it defend itself. This provision
would seem to have been invented by Ger
many with view to a possible alliance be-
tween France and Russia. It has been gem
orally supposed that the union between Aus
tria and Germany was about as firm as one
between any two distinct nations could be
made. The two together, right in the heart
of Europe, present front to all sides of a
most formidable nature, and when the gen.
eral fight comes will form nut which it
will be difficult, if not impossible. for all the
rest of Europe combined to crack.

Ii is reported that the French and Chin
ese governments have come to an amicable
understanding with regard to the province
of Tonquin, and that the claims of the
French authorities to control the admins
tration of that important and populous prov
ince have been fully recognized and conced-
ed. If such be indeed the fact, the French
have good cause to congratulate themselves
upon the circumstance. Their position just
now is such that they cannot afford to be-
come entangled in foreign hostilties, for
despite the immense sums which have been
lavished upon the armyswithin the past de-
cade, the Tunisian expedition demonstrated
that the fighting capacity of the Republic
must be rated very low. Its military orga-
nization broke down under strain which
ought not to have been felt at all.

PHILADELPHIA Press The retirement of
Gordon Brown from the editorship Of the
Toronto Globe, the leading Liberal paper of
Canada, scores another failure in the hope
less task of maintaining free trade in COM
munity which has begun to feel the benefits
of protection, Canada had free trade for
years, and protective tariff has only been
in active operation for eight years; but pro-
lection is already so strong that the Globe, a
year after the death of the man who founded
it, George Brown, is forced, on business
grounds, to abandon its free-trade policy
We do not cite this as proof one way or
another of the soundness of free trade or
protection views, but ii does stand as proof
OF the set of a current by which men, meas
ures and newspapers are swept along. In
cidentally, the failure of Gordon Brown to
remain chief editor is another instance of
the failure of an attempt to make newspa-
per family property.
