of the Manchester DoOk-writers have been
accented as conclusive, and the American
economic system has been held up to ridlcule as
the outcome of National ignorance and mex
perience. Cornell University has set an ex-
celcnt example in providing its students with
special course of lectures IN the interest OF

of all students of economic science, Whether
Young or old. In yesterdays lecture the prog

lures during the last thirty years in the United
States were cited as furnishing irrefutable
evidence of the beneficial effects of the tariff in

the facts ought to have determining weight
The theories of the bOok-writers are of little
consequences if the practical experience OF the
United States under each system does not
support them.

The Cpur TAlene gold mines IN Idaho are now

offices ia the Northwest, with wonderful specimens

however that few except the hardest miners have
been able to visit it. Roads now being con-

the settlement who can ind no work, and are on

The Washington Birthday dinner in Brooklyn
was pleasant affair, although some prominent
men who had been expected to attend were not
able to be present. A good deal of politics was
carefully introduced; but the discussion was
more about principles than men. Addresses
were made by Professor Seelye, the Hon. Carl
Schurz and others. Abstracts and points from
the speeches are printed on another page of

Chicago is the place and July the date for
holding the Democratic National Convention as
decided upon yesterday by the Democratic
National Committee at Washington. Their
convention in 1850 met on June %, and as
July 8 is only two weeks later, the adv coates
of short canvass do not seem to have gained
any great concession. -Four months, however,
will give the Democracy all the time it needs to
get accustomed to the idea OF defeat.

WHEN the movement wa started in
France to present this country with a
colossal statue of Liberty there was a gem
enl disposition throughout the United
States to make the erection of Il fitting
pedestal a national concern. As the
statue was to be erected in New York
hRrbor the Gothamites Immediately con-
Guided to make a local affair of it by
erecting the pedestal themselves. Great
efforts were put forth To drum up the
necessary funds, but subscriptions reso-
lutely refused to flow in and it was finally
found necessary 10 abandon this particu-
lar idea.
The American Committee OF the Statue
of Liberty, of which Hon. w. NJ. Evarts
is President, has just issued an appeal to
the people Of the entire country for suf-
fcent money to finish the pedestal.
The whole structure, when completed,
will be over 300 feet high. The cost of
the statue, which wa $3.50, 900, was con
tnbuted by ISL cities, towns and precincts
in France. To mount the elegant bronze
figure on a fitting pedestal requires an ex-
penditure of about $4,000. The work
is nov under way on Bedloe's Island, in
New York harbor, about half of the nee
essary funds having been contributed by
the New York City people. The appeal
is made to the country at large to secure
the balance so that the work may not be
interunted

A good many years & a youngish man
kept a grocery store in Troy, N. Y, and
built up u reputation In a short time for
s~hrewdness, meanness and enterprise. He
ran his store in a very lively manner, and de-
are common now, but were new and catching
then A couple Of squares away and around
II corner from the store lived a pretty little
rosy-cheeked girl, with large gray eyes and
brown hair, II nimble wit and saucy tongue,
and II very independent spirit. The grocery
man fell in love with the girl, and for several
years courted her diligently In spita of snubs
and scorniul sayings. He declared that the
girl should marry him. and she said she would
zee the green grass and the little daisies
growing over him before such a thing should
happen. The girls parents sided more or less
with the grocer, and told the girl her lover
would saNs day be very rich and a great
man. The result was that the girl finally
married a poor young clerk, who became a
well-to-do merchant in New YORK, and he
and his wife lead the happiest Of lives In their
charming home out Harlem way. Some.
times an old, haggard. weary-looking man
drives through the park, and when he sees
the merchant and his wife he Pushes and
bows atiffiy, and then leans back In his superb
carriage, looking more hAggard and more
tired than before. II somebody should
notice this meeting and should ask a New
Yorker who the people were be would say
that the old man In the splendid carriage was
Russell Sage, and would probably add that
the lady and gentleman wore unknown to

A FAsmoNABLr Philadelphia tailol

A FASHIONABLE Philadelphia tailor
conveys to the public the startling infor-
nation that the dude has gone out of
style. THE correct young man this
Winter" he says, twill be stately, intel
lectual looking and quietly dressed The
dude, the same authority observes, re
manned in fashion longer than any other
type he is aware of. and accounts for this
strange circumstance on the basis that he
was the idol of the ladies. The passing
away of the dude will prove a crushing
blow to the negro minstrel wits and variety
performers who have made him their
principal stock in trade. During the
term OF his p~recarious existence the dude
came in for much hearty abuse.
While very few of the genuine article
were ever seen beyond the bounds OF the
Eastern fashionable centers, it yet became
the caper in the West to Eg1A every young
man with a semi-odeGsianal longing
for a red necktie or 4 clean collar in this
category. After all that has been said of
the dude, of his l~istless appearance, his
~earied air, his inanity and the DISPOSE
ton he aroused in the breast of a warm
blooded man to stick a pin into him. he
vas nevertheless an immense improve
ment over the a~ambayont creature that n
few years ago used to be known as n swell.
The dude at least possessed some of the
unobtrusive instincts Of a gentleman.
While on the one hand he represented
the very extreme of dawdling
listlessness, the swell represented
the opposite extreme of vulgar and dis
agreeable self-assertion. Between these
two extremes a happy medium may now
be struck through which fashion will
dictate styles of dress from a common
sense standpoint. If this much is ac-
complished the dude shall not have lived
in vain.
