FASHIONS IN MOURNING.

The Caustic OF Ridicule Cleverly Applied
to Ludicrous Customs.
There are certain aspects Of .'Christ-
ian burial' which have grown SO dis
cordant with our more intelligent forms
Of social life that they have become
even ludicrous, and can, therefore, be
most wholesomely treated with the
caustic Of ridicule. Among cultivated
people their natural environment no
longer exists. They are moro or less
distinctly recognized as survivals. The
dignity and impressiveness they may
have once possessed has passed away.
The most conspicuous Of these is COW

sive name OF mourning" | have
heard brilliant society belle sorrowing
bitterly over the fact that, just as her
most impressive costumes were pre-
pared for a seasons campaign, the de-
mise Of a distant relative made 1t neces-
sary for her to ''go into mourning"-a
fact which had but the one compensate
ing circumstance, that "black was be-
coming to her !" indeed this final and
determining factor in the case often en-
larges the pale of relationship, within
the limits Of which funeral fashion
makes the assumption Of 'mourningNim-
perative. In all the largecities stores may
be found where the mortuary expert
can determine TO shade the style Of
dress that constitutes ''full mourning" |"
and where the length Of a vail is SOL

Mr.. Mould termed rflial affection"

TIE INTERNAL. Tay

The Democratic party at st. Louis, as its
first plank. reaffirmed the platform adopted by
it's representatives in its convention of 1884,
and Endorsed the view expressed by President
Cleveland in his last message to Congress, as
a correct Interpretation of tariff reduction.
Let US see what this means. The platform of
1884, said: 1.-THE system of direct taxation
known as an internal revenue, is war tax,
and, SO long as the law continues, the money
derived therefrom should be applied to the re-
Lief of the people from the remaining burdens
of the war;" 1t is plain from this that the
tax is regarded as a temporary measure; that
it should not be a source of general revenue,
but only specific means of performing obi
cations growing out of the war. But the
message of the President says: at must be
considered that none of the things subjected
to internal revenue taxation are. strictly
speaking, necessaries. There appears to be
no just complaint of this taxation by the con-
sumers of these articles, and there seems to
be nothing so we'll able to bear the burdens of
taxation" This means if anything that an
internal revenue should be the permanent
and equitable source of general revenue.
The platform of 1884 said: From the foun
dation of this government taxes collected at
the custom house have been the chief source
of federal revenue. and must so continue to
be-" Cleveland says, in his message: "Our
present tariff laws, the vicious, inequitaOle,
and illegal source of revenue" and yet, in
each of these cases, the contradictory words
of Mr.. Cleveland are the correct interpreta-
tion of the platform of 1884!
