have studied Voiapuk that it really fills
the long felt want and is adapted for

Increasing Simplicity in Dress.
A marked feature of our times is the
increased simplicity in dress. In spite
of all occasional monstrous whim that
gets embodied in style, both the habits
of ladies and gentlemen are more quiet
and less pretentious than fifty years ago.
Mems business suits are on pattern
brought down to absolute economy in
expense and fitness for work. Nor are
dress suits characterized by any of the
superfiuities of the last century. Cler-
gymen have given up not only the wigs
and bands and cooked hats of 100 years
ago. but the tall hats, the invariable
black, and the white tie of fifty years
ago. The judges no longer wear
scarlet, faced with velvet. Wigs,
stocks. powders, pomatums. are less and
less important. A gentleman of 1900,
when he went abroad, must appear i'm
satin-embroidered vest, wig, and satin
small clothes, with white silk stockings.
Culture does not lead in the direction of
elaborate adornment of the person.

Must Learn by Costly Experience.
Providence Journal, Rep.l

Without this tariff issue there is no rea-
son to doubt that Cleveland would have
had as large vote IN the close States as he
did four years ago, and been triumphantly
elected. From one point of view there is
no light in which this can be regarded as
other than serious misfortune to the
country. There is no occasion to exagge-
rate its Importance, and it is very far from
being fatal one. But the issue as pre-
sented by the democratic party In a meas
ure not absolutely perfect in itself, but
right in principle. and practical and reas-
enable III effect, was one which We believe
that the couutIy must adopt, if it Is to
continue and increase it's prosperity, when
the margin of the home market Shrinks
up with the increase of the population and
the pressure of competition upon wages.
We believe that it is one which the good
sense of the community and the pressure
of circumstances will compel the legisla-
tive authority to adopt, eventually, what
ever party may be in power. But the ma
tion has decided that it will learn, by a
costly and unnecessary experience, rather
than accept the benefit when the condi-
tions were most favorable and before the
growth of false and artificial system had
reached the heighth of seif-evident error
or eliminated in financial disaster.

COLD COMFORI.

The following paragraph from Gen. Hsr-
rison's organ, the Indianapolis Journal,
will be as chilling to our expectant Repub-
lican friends as November rain:
Justice to the incoming President demands
that he should not be overwhelmed by Office
seekers, his time consumed and his ST ength
exhausted, to the exclusion of mere import
ant matters. It is an unseemly sight and a
great injustice to the President. Not only is
reasonable time required to do these things
properly, but many of the desired changes
cannot be made at once. The Tenure-of-
Office law and the Civil Service law must be
observed in spirit as well as in letter. Off
Gals commissioned for four years from the date
of their appointment, who are competent and
efficient and who have given no cause for
their removal, will probably be permitted to
serve out their terms. The new President
cannot be expected TO make sweeping ramov-
ais in such cases. At all events, those who
10 expect it will likely be disappointed. AS
20 classified Department clerkships and places
embraced in the Civil-Service law, while they
are subject to peremptory removal, appoint
meuts to them can only be made under the
law.

THE ROTTEN BOR0UGHS.

Tie possession of the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Democrats is desirable
for only one thing. The stuff about a
vigorous Southern poiicy'' on the part
of the new administration, will, we pre-
sumo, be given first about the weight it
desires. But there is another thing of
more Importance, and that is the adnis-
sion of more rotten borough Western ter
ritories as States, with their silver mine
and cattle ranch Senators. The injection
of more millionaires into the U. S. Senate
is calamity to the Nation. Apart from
the means by which they are chosen,
which have become matter Of notoriety.
and which are an i'll augury for pnTe
government, they are uot in sympathy
with the people, and will soon drift into
close cohesion with that plutocracy which
isruling the Republican party. For it goes
without saying that the new States ad-
mitted will be Republican. The leeisla-
ton shaped by rotten borough members
is never on the side OF the people.

A deserved tribute is paid we'll known
former resident of this county, by the
.Citjzen," published at Glade Spring.
Washington county, Va, in the following
article
'"rhe Democrats of the Ninth Congressional
District are to be congratulated for having as
Chairman of their COMMITTEE such an able
and interchangeable worker, pleasant gentleman
and whoIe-souled Democrat as Hon. A. M.
Bowman. Our cause has been in good hands
and our campaign conducted in an admirable
manner. First here, then away to the furth-
crest outskirts OF the district, be has been on
the wing all the time during the campaign,
rushing pushing our cause and letting not
the least thing escape his attention. HIS en-
ergy has been untiring, his enthusiasm un-
danpered and his work never reiinquished.
This for the cause of Democracy, to the de-
triment and neglect of his private affairs. The
Democratic party owes him large debt and
when an opportunity occurs should amply re-
pay him."
The election returns from that district
show the result of such efforts as are spo-
ken OF by the 'Citizen," and have won
that district from the most popular and
influential Republican in all Virginia,
and the man. who. Of all Republicans,
was their most available candidate for
Governor. We have given him blow, if
he is not entirely eliminated from their
available list of Gubernatorial possibill-
ties.

POLITICAL NOTES,

The height of political philosophy was
Marlborough (Md.) Times. when he wrote,
after the election, "There is certainly
balm in Gilead; but where the devil is
Gilead?"
1t may not be good news to our Repub-
licap friends seeking Office. but it is new
ertheless true, that seventy-five per cent.
of the office holders in Washington City
are Republicans who have never been re-
moved. Even in the White House, Pres
ident Cleveland kept all the clerks and
doorkeepers that President Arthur had,
except two.
The Home Market for the American
farmer has been packed in the garnet with
the other Republican campaign machinery
to be taken out again in 1892, and worked
for what it is worth.
For the first time in thirty-one years a
Democratic State Officer has been elected
in Iowa. Peter A. Day, (Dem.). was
elected Railroad Commissioner Nov. 9th,
over John Mahin (Rep.), by 500 majority.
The property qualification for voting
for State officers in Rhode Island was
stricken out Nov. 9Th, by the adoption of
an amendment to the constitution, max
. Ing the qualification similar to that in
Virginia.
Hon. Perry Belmont, of N. Y. who, as
a member Of committee of the House OF
Representatives, SO searchingly and cruel.
ly cross-questioned Hon. James Il. Blaine
about his interest in the Peruvian Guano
question, has been appointed U. s. Minis
ter to Spain. 1t may be safe to say that
his term will last but few hours longer
than the 4th of March next.
In the hotly contested State of New
York the official vote gives Harrison
(Rep } for President 1871 majority over
| Cleveland (Dem.). while Hill Dem fol
Governor has Is 7O7 maj ority over Miller
(Rep) There is matter for many column

An Important Decision.
New York Sun, Nov. 15th.]

New York Sun, Nov. 15th.l
The supreme court of the United States,
through Chief Justice Fuller, has render
ed an opinion of interest to holders of life
insurance policies, Thomas L. Hume. Of
the District of Columbia, died in 1881,
totally insolvent, but leaving $35 900 in
life insurance policies. The policies were.
by their terms. payable either to his widow
or children. The administrators and
creditors af Hume's estate sought to force
application of the proceeds of the policies
to the payment of his debts, on the ground
that the premiums paid by Hume were
fraudulent transfer of an insolvent's es-
tate. and void as against creditors. The
supreme court holds that the benefciares
are entitled to the proceeds of all the pol
icies, wthou: any deduction whatever on
account of premiums paid, holding that
husband and father has full right to in
sure his life in the interest of his wife and
children, and that where such policies are
effected in the name of the estate of de-
ceased insolvent. and therefore cannot be
regarded as fraudulent assignment of
any part of his estate when so effected.

hat city sends US the following paragraph
regarding it: 1.-The Republicans held
what was intended to be grand parade

rent reasons il was a poor and almost dis
graceful affair, participated in mostly by
d rabble of negroes and negro boys. Near
ly every white Republican family in the

selves, while the paraders to the number
Of three thousand passed along with their
Chinese lanterns and transparencies, in
recent with such inscriptions as "Grover,

gone out;' "Hurrah once more Growers

No More Rebels On the U. S. Supreme
Court" mo more Flags at Half-M asst

crease Of vitality TO those gigantic organi
lions of oppression known as TRUSTS"
which Mr.. Blaine thinks are SO "largely
private affairs" that President Cleveland
was guilty of an impertinence when he rec
commended to Congress some legislation
that would break them up. The stock Of
the Whlskey Trust has advanced from 80
to ~; the Cottop-seed Oil Trust from 81 to

Trust certificates have jumped II per

wealth III this country operates on the

The returns of the last election have
shown some remarkable figures, but there
are none more SO, than those sent in from
the remote little county of Craig in South
western Virginia. Cleveland received a
