PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take a meal sack and make
a suit Of clothes worthy of gentle-
mans wearing If the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for q special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points Of a suit are ct and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
if there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock of suits
for business and everyday wear ful-
fills the highest ideals Of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of making,
and, above all, with the wit Of the
clothier--his Misunderstanding at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than a gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices Of ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average Of custom work when you
see them.

SIC TRANSIT.

Germany's great emperor is being
gathered to his fathers. But for one
fact, the death of the Emperor WILL
IAN, who is so soon to be followed to
the grave by the crown prince. would
produce a crisis in European affairs.
BISMARCK still lives. and is in the en-
joyment of good health. Upon that
fact alone rests the security of the Ger
man empire and the peace of Europe.
B1sMARCK's greatness and power never
shone so conspicuously before. The
emperor may die, and all the princes in
the line of royal succession may be
buried with him, and yet Germany's i'll
tegrity, strength and influence as a
nation remain as long as her affairs are
guided by the master mind which Gre
ated the German empire and made
WILLIAM emperor.
Notwithstanding he has shone to a
very considerable extent in reflected
light, the Emperor WILLIAM has been
marvellous parsonage. He will rank
in history among earth's greatest mon
archs. His long life has been remark
ably active one, and, being a man of
sound Judgment and strong character,
he has made the most of his opportuni-
ties, both for himself and for his coun-
try. Although he has lived far beyond
the time allotted to human existence,
there has been no abatement of mental
vigor in his old days, nor cessation of
interest in affairs of state.
The Emperor WILLIAM has been the
friend of mankind, in that while pro-
noting his own power and that Of Ger

yet see not, and having ears, yet hear

If the people are not to look for the
betterment of their condition to the
party which has been laboring for years
in their behalf, and which has only
been prevented from achieving success
by Republican opposition, where, then,
in the name of common sense, are they
to look? Perhaps Mr.. EVANS would
suggest the Prohibitionists. With con-
tinued absurdity he goes on: ''Our
people prefer to look to the Republican
party, which has always upheld the
protection idea, rather than to the DEM
ocrats." There, indeed, the Hon. Mr..
EVANS mingles truth with his tissue of
abSurdities.
That the people of the Northwest
should look for relief to a party which
has made the denial of relief its funda-
mental theory, through mistaken pre-
disposition toward political sentiment
ality, is an insult to their intelligence.
Western people want relief wherever
they can get it, regardless of political
affiliations. 1t happens, in this in
stance, that they have very fair
chance of getting it through the
Democratic party and no chance at
all through the Republican party. And
yet Mr.. EVANS expects them to cling to
the false prophets of his political creed.
A drowning man doesn't often ask the
political belief of his rescuer before
cOnsenting to be rescued.
But the truthful portion of the Re
publican committeeman's statement ap-
pears when he says the Republican
party has always upheld the protection
idea. That will be universally ad-
mitted. Protection in the sense OF
being synonymous with high tariff, and
consequent protection to the monopo-
lists at the expense of the people. has
certainly always been the leading
article of the Republican faith, Mr..
EVANS is right there. Even he, then,
cannot fail to observe the ridiculous in
consistency of the declaration that from
such a party the people of the North
west are to expect relief. But the eli
max of absurdity is reached when he
dogmatically asserts that ''the Demo
cratic tariff bill is a makeshift to catch
votes, and the people understand it as
SUCH"
In this case Mr.. EVANS must certainly
stand for ''the people," for the people
themselves understand no such thing.
They recognize that the tariff bill, I'M
perfect though it be, is an honest en-
deavor on the part Of the Democrats,
hampered by Republican opposition, to
give the people all the relief in their
power. That it will meet with such
general favor as to bring a great many
votes over to the Democratic column is
quite probable. But that is merely an
incident of the bill, and not its cause.
Upon the whole, we are disappointed
in Hon. Mr.. EVANS. We had thought
him man of broader mind-above the
level OF the narrow partisan. His first
public appearance would not seem to
warrant that estimate.

BLAINE'S HEIR

Kept Out of His Inheritance
Than Before.
- WASHINGTON, March 6.-The with
drawal of Blaine from the list of presi-
'de1ftial quantities illustrates the inabil-
ity of any leader, no matter with what
hold on the popular heart, to transfer
His following. With nine-tenths of his
party Mr.. Blaine was the idol, and yet
with such tremendous advantage Mr..
Allison, supposed to be Blaine's residu-
fary, legatee, is no nearer advanced to
the presidential nomination than before
the withdrawal. 1t is now evident that
the Republican convention will meet
without any fixed understanding in adj
vance as to whom the lightning will
strike. New York, which can control
the nomination has no timber OF its own
calculated to improve. The talk of
Frank Hiscock is idle. He is all over
grown good-natured dreamer, with a
IasSitude bordering on absolute Iaziness.
His election to the senate over Lew
P. Morton and Warner Miller was
not due to any virile force of his
own. He merely cut figure as a mega
tive quantity, who was seized upon as
compromise. True, New York has
Evarts, Morton and Chauncey Depew.
The first passes out of consideration be-
cause he was part of the administra-
ton of Mr.. Hayes, which seems to be
without an atom of respect in the state.
Morton is national banker, and Depew
a railroad manager. In these days OF
political duplicity the occupation of
such trusts rather inveighs against the
man, no matter how honored otherwise
