The fimsy foundation upon which so
called society" conversation and wit rest
nowadays received good illustration yes
terday in parlor Of a hotel in this city.
The group was composed Of several
elderly ladies of dowager like rotundity,
whose fresh cheeks and bright eyes
showed that the goddess of health and
they were on more than speaking terms,
and one young woman whose charms of
face and form indicated slight need OF ac
quaintance with cosmetics or with medi
cine. Two gentlemen joined the ladies'.
"Oh, come here, cried out the young
est, pointing to her smiling elders, Il
want to show you two people who have
never taken qulnine
Everyb body Immediately laughed aloud,
and when the mirth had subsidized enough
so that speech was again possible one Of
the gentlemen cried out:
How incOnsideratel"
Then they all laughed loudly again.

/. WHAT WILL THEY DO With IT?"


That popular question is presented to
the Republican party bent, as 1t declares
on protection and war taxes In time OF
peace.
What will they do in q popular discus
sion with the fantastic idea that SlH5,-
100000 of taxes, according to the require
men,s of war must be laid on the people
twenty years after the EFFICIENCY called
for these taxes.
What will they do with the question as
TO why American citizens have to pay
nearly twice as much for clothing as the
Canadian just across the u. Lawrence
river. who lives under the same condl
lions of trade relations az we do.
What will they say 10 the demand 10
know why the American citizen IL MADE
TO pay for his shoes and socks, Ills under
wear his coat, waistcoa:, and trousers
and hat nearly twice "a much as the citi-
zen in other countries,
What will the Republican speakers do
with 1t when their idea is simply pre-
scented to the people in these forms, and
they are asked why the average man 5
wife has to pay three times "a much FOR
an alpaca dress as people in England do :
What will they do with it when their
principle of protection is called to a
practical illustration and IL is shown that
every man in the country has to pay
twice as much for his blankets as the peo'
pie Just across the ST. Lawrence river.
What will they do with their nefarious
and doubly accursed plan of titled and
bloated monopolistc aristocrats when We
explain that by their owa showing at
their own prevaricational figures there
are 100000 people protected at the ex'
pense of 100000 people who pay
tribute.
What will they do when they are called
to explain wig the American workman
Is excluded from the markets OF the
world in order that few mon0polists
may be allowed to manipulate the home
market and break up competition
In fact, what will the Republicans DO
with their whole canvass
They will lose it as they did before, by
the specific gravity of their own corrup-
ton

An exchange says that the habit OF
using red bandana was begotten years
ago by Allen G. Thurman from associa-
ton with Emile Gregoire, French emf
grant who taught the Ohio statesman
how to speak 1.-THE polite language and
use highly colored handkerchief. Thus
in remote way France was responsible
for the most picturesque feature OF the
ST. Louis convention.
That ID mistake. Al the wel!-dressed
and wel-to-dO farmers OF forty years ago
could be known by scarlet bandana,
flecked with golden yellow spots. There
are enough people to testify TO this, and
the way that Thurman came to be known
by that badge was that he preserved the
custom

Ceylon's Palms and cocoanut Trees.


This low land up at the northern neck
Of the island is largely planted in Pal
myra palms. For l20 miles along the
western and southwestern shore 1t IS a
fringe from one to seven miles deep Of
cocoanut trees. These two kinds OF trees
support the bulk OF the native population.
They furnish the material from which
they build and roof their huts. The sap
gives them their sugar and their intoxl-
cants. The green nut is their milk and
the ripe nut much Of their SOLID food.
From the bark and leaves they make
sheds, fans and mating; from the fiber,
sails. cordage, fishing nets, etc. The
young leaves are their salads. The ripe
fruit gives them ml for their lamps, for
their hair and for cooking purposes. They
wear for clothing the net woven by
nature abont the foot stalks Of the leaves;
plat hats, and sunshades, and baskets
from the fronds, and drink from the cup;
sail in boats constructed Of the hard, Old
wood, and when sick make medicine
from the flowers. Tho uses Of the palm
are said 70 run into several hundreds. and
are the themes Of innumerablc native
poems. Carter Harrison in Chicago

Sherman and Blaine are good Republi'
can candidates for the Democrats 10 beat,

and Morton of Wall Street repute.
Phelps is another typical Republican
statesman with money and check.

The Women of Morocco.

In the cities throughout Morocco |
found it impossible to g.t more than a
passing view Of womalrs face, So jeal-
ously are they yelled and guarded and
especially among the higher classes.
where the women. possessing no more
intelligence than child, are taught that
all men but their lords and owners are
fends. Occasionally. however, by acct
dent or design, the face covering would
be dropped for an instant just as wo-
man passed me, and at the same time an
arm and shoulder would be presented to
my gaze. The women Of Morocco are Of
all shades and colors, and | must say
that some OF the haBdsomest women !
ever saw, both in feature and form, were
full blooded negresses.
Another surprise wss to notice that
many Of the Moorish beauties would
show a snowy rounded arm and clear
pink and white skin that the most beau
tiful woman in Boston would have been
glad to possess, but where they got this
skin and complexion ! could never find
out, for the men, perhaps, from their
constant exposure 10 the sun, are tanned
and blackened almost To the color Of the
negroes. In the country all is different,
and little attempt is made by the women
to be stingy with their charms, unless
from some religious motives, and to this
freedom of the country many poor
simple girl owes her position as prime
favorite in the harem of some Moorish
dignitary, who saw her projections while
travelling by her fathers tent or hut

The Virginia Democrats should under

become its atmosphere, through which
alone its feeble glimmer reaches the out

We do hope that the Virginia Dem0c-
racy will be prompt to set the example Of
enunciating true Democratic principle
against prohibition or any other inter-
ference with the rights of the free citizen.
Temperance is thing of morals and re-
ligiol, and not of law. If a man cannot
drink without being sot he is ii subject
for moral reform.

hind the following statement in the New

their love of free trade out 10 roost and

guished consideration.
Mr.. Cleveland distinctly said he was
not arguing for free trade, and still a
Democratic paper persists In inserting a
Republican campaign idea.
