Spring Suits.

New York Evening Post.
Bright sunshine and biting winds are what
may be expected this most trying of months
Outdoor attire which has gone through the
winter campaign looks very passe in the search
ing spring sunshine 1t is well, therefore, to be
provided with a complete new outdoor costume
from head to foot, made of some warm, servicea-
BILE, light wooden fabric, which may be worn far
into May or even June las modern Junes go);
the costume can then be laid aside to come in
most appropriately and conveniently when chill
autumn steals in. Bright warm colors are best
chosen for q suit of this sort, leaving the
pale neutral tints so much in vogue for
warmer seasons. Golden brown, deep ruby,
moss green, and new beautiful shades of dark
blue, are all appropriate where mixed or fancy
suitings in stripes checks are not liked
Prune. claret, or any of the dark wine shades are
particularly commendable, because they are
stylish, ladylike and invariably suit all complex
ions, from the fairest blonde TO the darkest bru-
nette These dark, handsome colors are found
in homespun. SERGE camel's hair, French CASH
mere, yigogne, tricot and in woolens which
show all the new frise, boucle, etamine and
bourette effects now so much the rage. For
utility purposes. however, the wear-defying
serges, camels' hair, and tricots are by far the
better choice for those whose purses are limited
in the matter Of expenditure upon their gowns

the road, eighteen miles from Calgary. There
were in the stage, beside the driver Pete Camp

Winnipeg; a Massey company traveller, and a
Frenchman, name unknown. The masked men
wore stripes from the union jack over their
faces, and carried carbines and revolvers. They

and stopped the horses. They ordered the party
to descend. They marched the prisoners into

ATTENTION GENTLEMEN!
Opening Of a New Merchant Tailoring Estab-
lishment at No. IA East Washington
Street-A Great Cut in Prices.

The opening, on Saturday, at No. Ia East
Washington street, of a new merchant tailoring
establishment by Kahn & Co.. will prove an event
of no small import to those who have their cloth
ing made to order. If there is any class of mer-
chandse upon which there has been an enor-
nous profit, it has been that of merchant tailor
made garments Messrs. Kahn 81 Co. propose
now to give the public the benefit of this hitherto
exhorbitant price, and to this end have cut prices
almost in two. At least. their prices will range
about the same that ready-made clothing is sold
at. Their stock of foreign and domestic suit
ings, overcoatlngs and pants goods is very large,
and comprises al OF the latest novelties and de
signs. Pants will be made from So up. and
suits made up in the fines. STYLE pc .s, r.. .5,,
1t is proposed to make this the great fashionable
headquarters for Indianapolis where goods are
sold at from 40 to so per cent less than ruling
prices at all other respectable houses This is
new departure, and while 1t may not prove big
bonanza at first to its projectors, will prove a
mighty big item to all who are in the habit of
having their clothes made to order The cutters
of the new house have superiors, and every
garment is guaranteed to be perfect fit

The demand for textile machinery continues
and Establishments are almost daily booking ad-

chinery is wanted. A good many silk-weavers
are arriving from England. where wages are low
and work precarious.
The labor organizations are in danger of max
ing the same mistake in political action that has
so often happened. The leaders understand the
nature of the trouble to be feared. The rank
and file count many labor votes in given dis
trlct or county, or State, overlooking the fact
that three-fourths will likely be swayed by for
mer affiliations when the pinch comes.

was passed. Not satisfied with having those
who were in the distriss thus working for him,
others whose place of duty far distant were
called home to join in the effort to fix delegates
Two days before the convention met every post
Office in the district deserted by the post
master who took his way to this city. Revenue
agent Hunter left his desk and headed delega-
tion of storekeepers and gaugers. Colonel Ban
mister came from the far West. while postal
clerks and route agents abandoned their trains
all to help this model reformer to seat in Con-
eress They gathered from the East and West.
from the North and South, noble army OF
reformers, all to do the bidding of their
master who had put them in places They were
here to coax and cajole, where coaxing and
cajolery would do to buy where purchase was
necessary, and to drive when that possible.
At liquor stores they dispensed his liquor and
cigars; they sowed seeds of dissension among his
opponents, they lied like Mulhattan and swore
like pirates-all in the interest of reform. They
were not idle minute, nor was their chief.
While his collar wearers were dealing out
whisky, he dealt out promises Corn juice
caught some and promises of Offices captured
Others. Charles collars, of this place. was a
delegate and for while was firmly antagonistic
to Holman. His denunciations of him were
heard at every corner and at all hours OF the
day. His brother-in-law. Col. Hugh Gallagher,
was promised an Indian agency when, presto!
Charles was for Holman The Colonel is still
waiting for his agency. The influence of the
Ewings had been bought with the postofhce here.
James Hart was another one of the anti Holman
delegates. A friend of his was promised place,
and he became Holman To further
strengthen his hold on the Ewings one of
them was made storekeeper A. b.
Arlington was another of those who
was fercely opposed to Holman's return to Con-
gress. There was time when he paved the
earth and beat the air at the mention of Hol-
mans name The very thought of its being
possible to nominate him set him off worse than
a red rag would a wild bull But on convention
day he was found in the Holman camp, wearing
a Holman badge. The promise of timber
agency did the work for him. So it went on.
Delegates were bought right and left. Promises
of Office scattered about with prodiga pro-
fusion. By such means the delegation from his
own county was made solid for him. The prom
ises made to Ripley county alone would fill
bushel basket. Indiana mas furnished some aw
full examples of corruption In politics, but never
before was the traffic in delegates so open and
shameless as when W. S. Holman nomi-
mated for Congress this last time, and he is the
great model reformer of the age. l have at
tended all the Democratic congressional conven-
tons SO far held in this State, and with one ex-
ception the Holman convention was the only one
that had saloon attachment. The exception
was the that nominated Bob Lowry,
other great reformer."

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 25.-Over 200 delegates

delivered by Governor Hubbard, who spoke APP
provingy of the farmers effort to obtain relief
from the unnatural burdens of monopo-
lists and their exactions and oppression.
Colonel Beverly spoke briefly in reply.
In the course of his annual address, President
Beverly, on behalf of the farmers thanked Pres
ldent Cleveland for his recommendation to Con-
gress to inquire whether legislation IN the
interest OF agriculture should not be con-
sidered 1t is for US to consider whether
we shall continue to deliver suffrage
