JACKET WAISTS, BLousEs. ETC.

The jacket waists and kilt skirts

has double box pleats, usually eight
or ten in number and is sewed to a
silesia waist that has the front COW

pleats down the middle-two pleats
coming from each side-and drop

school use in large plaids of blue

or of brown and blue striped cloth,
with brown soft wool vest The
bordered woods are also made up for
these dresses, sometimes with box
pleated belted waists, or with Elton
jacket fronts edged with the border,
and with the back box pleated to a
belt. Others have levers of the Dor

silk waist tucked at the Top and

notice that many pages are given to
that engrossing subject. A separate
article on children's fashions indicates
that the question of what the children
shall wear, is becoming of nearly the
same importanceas the clothing of the
young ladies ofthe house. In the
midst of these matters of fashion and
art and domestic economy, occurs
Robert Dowling's short story, en-
titled, 1.-The Toll of Charon.' This
is an excellently well written story of

and her ultimate fate. Miss Juliet

The Tariff Reform Issue in Georgia.
Ncps and Courier.

Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, of GeorgIa, has pub
lshed in the Aug,lsta Chronicle full and effect
i've reply 10 the recent letter of the Hon. A. U.
Bacon, of the same Sta e on the subject OF the
tariff and the internal revenue laws. The
argument Of Judge Twiggs is necessarily long.
since much more space Is required TO expose
n flllacy than to formulate one, but Its
strength Is happily proportionedt to Its length.
dence throughout that the cause Of the tariff
| reform does not lack for watchful and able
eXponepts In Georgia.
| Great stress was laid by Mr.. Bacon, as 1t has
always been laid by the Protection organs in
Georgia, on the ''Inquisilorial," "instructive''
and "vcXatious' methods of enforcing the
| internal revenue laws, whence, II was argued,
| these laws themselves should be repealed.
Judge Twiggs meets the high tariff men on
their own ground here, and gives them
severe drubbing with their own and fayOrate
weapon. He says;
Is not the collection Of the tariff tax far
more inQuisitorlal and vexatious than that OF
the internal revenue? And does Its inforce-
ment not almost entirely depend upon a sys.
tenn which involves seizure, search and es-
pionage? Every traveller from abroad-old or
young, male or female, the good and the bad

United States, are compelled, by an inquIs-
| itorial system, to surrender their baggage,
trunks and satchels to the inexorable. and

The State Convention.
Yorktville ENQUIRER.

The question Of having one or two State
Conventions this year is now a subject OF dis.
cussion by the press OF the State. Owing to
the early date Of the National Democratic
Convention, which will meet on tie 18th oil
June, IL will be necessary to select delegates TO
IL in the month OF May; but 1t Is held, and we
think correctly, that May would be too early
to make nominations for State officers. There
are many reasons why the State nominating Z
convention should be held ut later date.
The people have not given the subject thought
and are not In condition to instruct their del
egates at 20 early u date, while they are not
In mood to have the State canvass precl-
pitated upon them, to the detrment OF every
pursuit, except office.seekinS, nearly SIX
months in advance Of the election.
1t is necessary to select delegates TO the Ma
tional Convention. for which purpose we IA
vor the holding OF O State convention at Co.
lumbIa in May, the delegates then chosen to
be instructed TO cast their ballots for tho re-
nomination OF Cleveland. After that Is done
there will be ample time TO cast about for
nomination for State officers, and the people
may have something to say as to how these
nominations shall be made, whether by con.
yention or by the Democratic plan OF prl-
mary election. We favor the plan of pri-
mary election from the Office of Governor
down to the least important county office,
and agree with the suggestion OF the AGbe-
vILe Press and Banner that plan should be
formulated by which the whole people may
have voice In the nomination of their pub
