7 HE FASHIONS



Velvet, plush, embroidered cloth and felt
are the materials for the new bonnets,
Both plain and embroidered velvets are
used, and some striped velvets are shown.
Beaded velvet and heavily beaded lace5 are
used down the center Of black bonn ITS, with
the sides Of plain black velvet, each side be-
ing in one smooth piece extending from the
front backward, meeting in a point at the
end Of the crown. Plush is used to trim
velvet Of a lighter shade, being arranged.
as has BEEN said, in thick close folds along
the edges, or in b~ox-plaiting on the top.
There are also bonnets entirely of plush put
smoothly on severe shaped foundations,
and ornamented with rows OF wooden beads
around the edges and a bunch Of fancy feath-
ers directly on top. Bonnets for city streets
and for travelling are very small and mar
row., with high trimming directly on
top, and increasing in height toward the
back. The sides are very close to the head,
and the small crown is in horseshoe shape;
sometimes a horseshoe made Of beads outline
this crown, but in the greater number mere
ly the shape is copied, and the end is slightly
curved upward, parallel to the outer edge.
Many bonnets show no defined line between
the brim and crown, the material which
covers the frame being all in one piece, or
at most in two pieces separated through tho
middle from the front to the end Of tho
crown. The new fancy is to put trimming
straight through the top and down the
crown, such as rows Of beads, rows of gilt
cord, piping folds Of plush, etc, and the
combinatlon bonnet repeats this idea BY
using a figured fabric through the middle
Of toe front and the crown, putting plain
goods up each side, forming a high foll that
rests upon the indented middle fabric in
various ways that at last give new effects
to the small bonnetS that have been worn
SO long, and which, to the despair Of the
'milliners, promise to take q fresh lease OF

their belief or not; it is ques-
tion with which the State has nothing
to do. But if those men IN their
belief seek to control that which has ever
been the right of the State to control,
then these men must be stopped II, their
enSeayor. And this is what these men
have endeavored to do, but the State has

Perhaps to punish and imprison men IS
not the way to destroy belief in doctrine,
but it is the way to stop practice which
is in violation of the law, and it has
ALWAYS been found efficacious as remedy

OFFENSIVE PARTISANS.

The order of the Postmaster General
that offensive partisans are to be removed
is causing considerable excitement among
many, but especially the offensive parti-
sans. Republican journals are claiming
that this means that all who are not of
the Democratic party or Mugwumps are
to be turned loose, and their places filled
by active Democratic workers. If such
were the theory, it would be very wrong
indeed and deserving of all the con-
demnation which has been or can be
given It, But such is not the theory, and
if the Administration were to fill the
postotfices with men whose chief merit
is their influence in primaries and ward
caucuses, it would be equally as obnox-
lous as though done by Republican
Administration. Offensive partisans are
to be removed on the ground that they
have cared far more for their party and
its success than for faithfully perform
ing their duties. They are those who
have made of their offices places
of rendezvous for politicians and have
neglected the duties of their office to adj
vance their own and their party's inter-
est. 1t includes those who have been
placed in Office for political purposes
merely, without any reference to their
fitness for the offices. Ex-Commissioner
OF Pensions Dudley was the embodiment
OF the type offensive partisan" During
the campaign of last year he resigned
hls place some months before
November, but the resignation was not to
take effect until after the election.
In the mean time he left his
post at Washington and went about the
country stumping and electioneerinp for
Blaine, and leaving to others the care
and duties of his Office. To the offensive
partisan class belong those who were
active in soliciting certain per cent. of
the salaries of clerks, and having the
clerks send it to headquarters as a volun-
tary donation. 1t was the same plan bv
which the Coop deducts ten per cent.
from the wages of its employees, and has
them sign receipt saying that it is a |

WHAT IT WILL BE.

The argument is being made by some
of the local papers that the effect of the
"raid'' will not be such as those who are
conducting it desire. The "raid" seems
to exist more in the minds of those who
are neither raiders nor being raided than
elsewhere. 1t is assumed by those who
are suffering from raid rabies that it is
the desire of the Federal officials to stamp
out belief and not practices. This is
specially charged against Judge Zane,
District Attorney Dickson and Marshal
Ireland. If their desireand their efforts
are to control the belief OF the mind. then
they may as well desist at once. for suc-
cess will not crown their efforts. If such
is not their desire and it is not to the az
complishment OF any such end that their
efforts are directed, but rather the
triumph OF the law and the suppression
OF polygamy and unlawful cohabitation
then they may well hope TO see their ef-
forts crowned with success. To claim
that there will be no success for their e.
forts is folly in those who make the
claim. Their claim is well based if the
effort is spasmodic, with intervals of long
years, but if the effort is strong, persist
ent. without cessation and without fear
or favor, there can be but one ending
to it, and that ending will
be the accomplishment of the object for
which the effort was made. The Herald
this morning in discussing the question
makes the following comment: "The
question of whether or not these men are
right in their belief and supposed knowl- !
edge, cannot be discussed; in the eyes of
all the world they might be wrong, and
II would not change their own opinions;
In their own minds they are right. and
that is enough for them" No, there is
no necessity for discussing the question
those men are right in

THE GREEK THEORY.

On Monday last we proposed new
theory for the settlement of the Utah
problem, which was to adopt the Utopian
plan of disposing of the useless. This
has met with general favor in the COM
munitv. and the arbiter of all in Amerl-
can affairs has suggested an amend
ment to the method, which is the theory
of the Greek mothers who took their de-
formed children, whether mental or
physical, and carried them to the hills
and sung them to sleep; and when they
were in slumber wrapt, the mothers stole
away, and LETT them to perish in the cold
or be devoured by wild beasts. 1t is a
very good suggestion and we cheerfully
adopt it. but think the Herod theory far
better in every respect. There is one
thing lacking in this theory, and that is
it does not take into consideration those
whose mothers neglected their duty to
their children, but allowed them to come
to maturity. Had this been the case, the
Greek theory would never have been sug-
gested by those who now first think of it.
The remedy was not bad so far as it went?
Most decidedly it was not, and it goes as
far as there is any necessity. Even the
mothers OF Greek gods could not all have
the same Roman fortitude that Brutus
had, and to such as these the Utopian
theory applies. Then the world advances,
no matter what may be said against the
theory, and the Utopian plan had the
benefit of eighteen centuries experience.
But we forget. Those who suggest the
Greek theory are ante-Christian in all
things. Doubtless it was this theory
of the Greeks that was referred to
in the Epistle of the Presidency when
that document spoke of the " murderous
and damning practices of foeticide and in
fanticide, to introduce which in our midst
attempts have been made" The Legis-
lature should enact a law legalizing the
Greek theory, but doubtless the Gov
ernor would not sign such an act, there
being something organic about it.
Is it not little too harsh to say that the
theory "might be severe on some sooth-
ing-syrup reformers, on some skulkers
who came into camp when the heat and
toll of the day were well-nigh passed, 3"
especially when it is remembered what
terrible blows he who wrote those lines
struck for his country during the Rebel
lion? OF course some will be so ungen-
erous as to say that those blows were
struck from the Sierras, but they
may say what they choose, yet
it was by those blows that the
Rebellion was crushed. In fact so eff
fective were they that he is still striking.
But who would ever think that he be-
longed to the ''skulkers who came into
camp when the heat and toll of the day
were well-nigh passed ?' After all, it
was the great, the good, the true, the
beautiful Tribune which crushed the Re-
bellion, wiped out the Mormons, was the
only true American, suffered under Pom
thus Plate, was crucified, was buried and
rose on the third day, and propounded
the Greek theory.

East-sound Passeng er Hates.


CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Chairman Moore of
the Chicago East bound passenger commit
tee has sent notice to the members in
forming them that meeting will be held
for the purpose OF trying to bring about an
advance in fare from Chicago To New York
The rates from interior points East from
Chicago have been advanced last week on a
basis of $50 from Chicago to New York,
and 1t is the intention to advance rates from
Chicago to the same basis. At
present the rate from Chicago to
New York is SIT. This is the highest rate
that could be made so long as the West
Shore made 81 rate from Buffalo to New
York, the regular rate from Chicago to Buff
falo being Sl4. Now that trunk lines, in
GLIDING West Shore, have advanced rates
from Buffalo to New York to So, IT would
be possible to charge $50 rate from Chi
cago, were it not for the fact that when
rates were reduced to $3.50 from Buffalo
10 New York some time ago the
Scalpers purchased large quantities of
those tickets. Afterwards West Shore
reduced the rate to So. and the scalperS
were unable TO use their 81. 80 tickets. Now
that rates from Buffalo have been advanced
again, they have placed their tickets in the
market, which would enable them To sell
through tickets from Chicago for SIS. so, il
the through rate from Chicago was made
$50. II the scalpeTs are not TO be prevented
FROM making use OF their stocks of tickets
from Buffalo to New York, the Chicago
roads cannot make the through rate to
New York more than $3.50, and it is
quite probable that this rate will be agreed
upon at the meeting.
