Fashions for Men.

Gloves are gradually creeping into
general use in the evening, after theiI
long Punishment.
Shoes are less pointed than formerly,
but the toe is still round. Patent leath-
err shoes have uppers Of silk or fine black
cloth, and all eccentricities of material,
such as tan-colored uppers, are now out
of favor. ..
The heads of canes and umbrellas are
no longer so extravagant in design as
before, and the most fashionable head
is either plain gold cap or q natural
stick with the small excrescences of the
wood tipped with the precious metal.
The scarf worn with the frock-coat OF
four-buttoned cutaway is the plain
folded scarf of dark color. patternless
and with small pin. The sailors
knot is also worn, but it is considered
''bad form" to insert a pin of any kind
in it.
The old-fashioned plated shirt front
for evening dress is taking the place of,
to some extent, the plain, stiff, front.
The reign of the single stud is nearly
over. and three small studs are now
worn by many, though some persons
may be seen with four.
As to coats, the frock coat vii! have
its skirts a tri e longer. while the ''cut-
away" of either tour or five buttons,
will have no outside pockets save that
on the breast, and will be little longer.

longer produce the short garment,
which allowed the tails of the under
coat to be seen. The materials used
for morning suits are either self-color
or checks and stripes of quiet and unob-
trusive appearance.
1t is in evening dress that the most
radical change has been made. The
shiny broadc 9th of generations is be-
ing discarded by the youths of to-day.
Dress suits are now cut to fit the figure
like glove, and the material is some
one of the many varieties of black di-
agonal or dull-surfaced thin cloth. The
waistcoat is white, cut extremely low,
and the opening is rounded instead OF
V shaped.
Collars are still high, though the
American makers do not run to the ex-
treme of their English rivals. A hieh
collar, meeting in front with the cor
nerS turned down, is the latest fashion.
The white evening tie is rather narrow
and tied to q strictly horizontal and
formal bow. Colored cambria shirts
for summer wear are appearing in the
shirt makers win lows.
There is strong infusion of com.
mon sense in the new fash on for men, u
said a well-known tailor recently.
There is no longer that absurd ten
dency to run to extremes in every direc-
ton which for the last year or two has
marked them" Afew inquiries among
other tailors elected similar responses.

The temperance men who acted with Hon
Will Cumback and sought to secure declara-
ton in the platform pointing to the triumph OF
the people over the whisky league by direct
vote of the sovereign citizens of Indiana, at an
election free from political strifes, will be found
amongst the foremost in battling for the success
of Republican principles in the present cam
paign, as in the past They are men who UNI
derstand that in acting with party no one fac
ton can have everything its own way, and that
there must be mutual concessions. They know
also that the best possible results in all
that pertains to the State and national
legislation can be attained only through
the success and building up of the Republican
party, for, either the Republican or the Demo
cratic party will control in State and Nation for
many years to come. A COM
parison of the record of the Republican and
Democratic parties on the question is grandly
creditable to the Republicans, whilst the sub
serviency of the Democratic party to the liquor
interest is everywhere palpably demonstrated
and unquestioned. 1t appears to us that no
temperance man in the Republican party need
feel ashamed of his party's record upon the tenn
perance question and will have no trouble to
choose between the two great parties.
