How They Take Their Medicine.

A Democratic exchange. the Birm-
ingham Chronicle, has got its eyes open
to the fact that the free trade policy of
the present administration would be
disastrous to the industries of Alabama,
as we'll as to other portions of the
country. 1t says:
We have always feared for the effect
of this bill the Mills Tariff bill) on the
industries of the country. We have
grave doubts rs to the election of Mr..
Cleveland over Mr.. Sherman, on a free
trade platform. We fear the headlono
action ofthe majority of our party in
forcing the issue, when we distinctly
won the last fight on platform that
allowed a man to think and vote as he
pleased on industrial questions. This
time we 60 into the fight with large
minority growing and dissatisfied,
when there is no earthly need for it.
The majority has the strength to do this
unwise thing and they are going to do
it. 1t is pretty much the same faction
that hurried us into unwise secession
and ruin. They have learned nothing
and again they tread the road to dis
aster.
And then it goes on to say that "if
the majority will, it must be-" and in
Inmates that its readers ought to vote
for Cleveland and free trade rather than
for Sherman and protection. So far as
voting for Sherman is concerned they
will probably not have a chance this
fall, although the Alabama Republicans
have declared for him. The northern
Republicans know how much better
their southern brethren are at nominal
ing than electing a president. and will
give the people chance to choose be-
tween Cleveland and Gresham. And
the North will do the South another
good service this fall. Twenty-odd
years ago it destroyed their pernicious
industrial system and paved the way to
the era of prosperity upon which they
are just entering.
This fall we will elect Republican
president who will preserve the system
of protection of American industries
which the candidate they so uuwillingly
support would seek to destroy.

The Congressional Situation.

The question of congressional success
sion has been simplified by the with
drawal Of Mr.. Treat from the contest.
1t is idle to speculate upon the probable
result had he remained in the field. II
is certain that he has very substantial
following not only in his own county.
but throughout the district. He has MANY
friends who have for long time been
dcsirious that he should have the honor
Of representing his district in congress.
and who feel that the interests of the
people could be safely intrusted to him.
But il is admitted on all hands that
our present representative has made a
most honorable record He has been
untiring in his efforts to promote the in
terests Of his constituency; he has served
with zeal and ability. We have vet to
hear The first unfavorable criticism Of
his work from any source. The only
arguments that have ever been presented
in favor Of change have been the prior
and long standing claims of other
counties in the district Ii is very mucb
TO Mr.. Treats credit that, approaching
the situation and realizing that his
nomination under the present circum-
stances could only be accomplished. If
at all, by political management, he
should thus early and before he had be-
come an active candidate withdraw his
name.
Mr.. LaFollette will be re-nominated
by reclamation. He viii receive the
active and cordial support Of the whole
party and will add strength to the ticket.
No good words have been said of either
of the gentlemen named that were I'M
deserved, Both have been raised in the
public estimation by the free discussion
of the congressional question that has
been carried on through the press of
this district The HERALD has given a
fair hearing to both sides We could
have cordially supported either candi-
date. We are perfectly satisfied with
the outcome. The Republicans Of this
Third Congressional district viii enter
the campaign this presidential year
united and standing shoulder to
shoulder win ron up an old time major
ity for r. NJ LaFollette and the whole

inst Our Fix.

Under the head of Right to the
point" the Milwaukee Sentinel quotes
a delegate to the New York Republican
convention as saying: There are five
or six Republicans in every township
who will not vote for Blaine, and they
are just numerous enough to defeat
him. This, the Sentinel goes on tc
say. describes not local peculiarly,
but the general situation in the Republi-
can party. 1t is just as true in Wiscon
sin as in New York.
The weakness of Mr.. Blaine, and the
inexpediency Of his nomination reside
in the fact that all through the country
there are certain number of voters
who would support any other Republi.
can cordially but viii not vote for Mr..
Blaine. They are not very numerous
as compared with the whole party, but
they are numerous enough to make
their votes indispensable to success.
When candidate needs the full vote of
his party to be elected, it does not mat
ter how wildly enthusiastic majority
Of his party may be for him, if he fails
to receive the support Of enough to elect
him. Votes after all are the essential
thing in an election.
When the choice is between unpar-
allied enthusiasm aE,l an insufficient
number of votes on one hand, and less
enthusiasm but an adequate number Of
votes on the other, The Sentinel, as a
Republican paper prefers the latter al

pREssr COSTUMES.

New York Fashions.
MORNING COSTUMES, LACE DRESSES,
DREsSY TOILETTEs.

Popular taste for morning wear in
summer runs to satines and ginghams,
the former usually with dark surfaces,
enliyened by light colored figures. The
general effect however is dark, and
therefore the more serviceable, since
they can be worn an entire season with
out being done up. Velvet is much
used for collars and cuffs; white
embroidery or Yak lace may outline
draperies, and ribbon bows are favor
tie completion to any trimming. Cling
hams afford scope to the present rage
for plaids and stripes, and are
trimmed in the same way as satines.
Both are extremely practical styles of
dress, and stylish people are having
cotton parasols to match, which, with
Milan or rough straw shade hats dyed
in corresponding colors and trimmed
with net or ribbon and jaunty bouquets
of flowers, viii form attractive outfits
at watering places or in the city, where
bonnets may be more suitably worn.
LACE DRESSES
or those Of drapery net over thin silk,
are popular and the net dresses not ex-
pensive, because cheap quality silk will
answer and the upper fabric is not
costly. A pretty all silk drapery net,
double width. may be bought for S150
per yard, and all silk lace of fair quality
for three times that price Fine cotton
laces may be substituted for young
people. A new finish given to net
dresses is that of narrow ribbon run in
three rows and upwards, and sometimes
extremely narrow ribbon is set en- in
numerous rows so as to form quite q
wide border. There is hardly a limit
to the usefulness of these net and lace
dresses, and such fact must account for
their continued favor. In black over
colored silk, or over black silk and
trimmed with colored ribbon, they are
jaunty for evening. or may be made
sober by black or darker ribbon bows.
Elderly people can wear them as adj
vantageouslY as the young, but the
latter class have the advantage where
cotton laces come in, since, being in
white, they are the special property of
the youthful.
