The New York Prohibitionis,s declare In
favor OF the submission of a prohibition
amendment to the constitution at the next
meeting Of the legislature. At the same
time they object to its submission by any
party whose only purpose is prohibition de-
feat Inasmuch as they have resolved that
both the old parties are hostile to prohbi-
tion, the next legislature will find it very
diffiult to put any sort of an Interpretation up
on this resolution which will not eventually
expose them to the wrath of the Prohib ton
lists. For If they undertake to obey the first
part of the resolution which calls for sub
mission they fly in the face of the second
part of 1t which practically demands that it
shall not be submitted, and uice rersa. 1t
will be no use for the Prohibitionists to
warn the next legislature to flee from the
wrath to come because they have effectually
INSTRUCTED the roads in all directions. The
fact probably is that the Prohibitionists re-
membering the fate of similar experiments
in New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Pennsylvania, really do not want
the amendment submitted. But to say so
directly would seem to indicate lack of con-
fidence in their cause, and so they have
adopted resolution, which like the resolu-
tions of Democratic conventions on the tariff
can be construed as meaning things diamet-
rically opposite. The Prohibitionists are
right in not wanting the amendment sub
mitted, for it would certainly encounter ov-
erwhelming defeat in New York, but it
would have been better to have said so
frankly or else left out allusion to it alto

Autumn fashions. They are not long enough
to reach the waist. the full blouse worn be-
meath them showing all around. Elbow
sleeves match the jacket, with bishop sleeves
set inside, Of the fabric of the blouse.
A boom in garnet jewelry is predicted.
Scarfs in tapestry colorings and designs
are now placed down the middle of the dress
skirt, the plain wool sides of the skirt APP
pearing to open upon them.
Some OF the most elegant of the new scarfs
USED Tor trimming dress skirts have borders
OF velours, with leaves or flowers of thick
pied black velvet on peach-colored, pansy
green, copper-color, reddish brown, very
dark blue or Eitfel red grounds.
Among the novelties in dress fabrics for
the coming season we note ladies' cloths with
woven stripes along the, selyidge. Black is
the usual color for these borders, two stripes
one four and one two inches wide, upon blue
green or rust-colored cloths, being especially
stylish.
Gay wooden handkerchief gowns for young
ladies will be made up of eight large squares
of serge or camers hair. red, green or blue
surrounded with black borders in irregular
stripes. The borders trim the foot and the
top of the skirt, and also the sides, the plain
centres of the squares being folded in large
plaits.
Some of the new woolens are accompanied
by corner pieces, which trim youthful gowns
very effectively. There are two wide stripes
down the middle of the front breadth; at the
foot they turn sharply, and border the foot
of that breadth
Low-throated bodies are now seen upon all
occasions. They usually have Tapped sur
plice fronts or broad velvet revers, which
taper to point at the waistline, the upper
portions joining wide collar, which is
frequently made deep enough at the back to
cover the upper part of the shoulders.
Handsome street costumes of white wool
will be worn during the early Autumn
months.
Fur shoulder capes will be worn during the
cool days of early Autumn.
Cloth shoulder capes, with an upper cape
almost as full as ruffie, will be worn as
wraps during the early Autumn months.
These are of even length all around, and
just short enough to show the taper of the
waist, or they may be slightly pointed in
front,or be shaped there into long scarf ends.
Soutache jackets are shown for Autumn
wear, taking their name from tine fact
that the fabric used in their con-
struction is nearly concealed by soutache
terms. The braiding is tone upon tone, that
dark green upon light green, and colored
braids are used on black jackets, giving
mere hint of the black foundation now so
popular for many things.
1t is already certain that black trimmings
will again be used ON colored dresses this
Fall, the same as last year.
Black mohair is effectively used for raised
figures upon plain wool fabrics, and also in
woven limitations of braid, in wide, straight
rows. like Hercules, or in fine lines Simulat-

If John l.. Sullivan should get into the
House he will not be the first prize fighter to
represent constituency ON the floor of the
popular branch of Congress. John Nor.
rissey, who, in his day and generation, was
quite as distinguished pugilist as Sullivan
represented a New York district in the
Fortieth Congress. He was elected by a
majority of about thousand votes over two
competitors. Two years later he received q
majority Of about 10000. When Morrissey
was elected TO Congress, however, he had re.
tired from the prize ring and was running a
palatial gambling hell at Saratoga. But
though Morrissey was prize-ighter and q
gambler, and his election therefore dis
grace to the country, it was not quite as dis
graceful as Sulliyan's would be, for Nor
rissey could and did disguise himself as
gentleman, while Sullivan very seldom a.,
lows himself to rise above the level of the
beast.

1t is not at all probable that the report
that England has notified Canada that she
must settle the Behring Sea dispute herself,
is an accurate statement of any dispatch re-
ceiyed from the British foreign office, or that
will be received. 1t is very likely true that
England has refused to send fleet to Beh-
ring Sea but that she has turned the mat
ter of the seal seizures over to Canada to set
tie is not only improbable, but practically
impossible. Canada is not sovereign state,
1t is not capable of making treaties with the
United States or any other nation. Nego-
tiations could not be carried on between the
United States and Canada. AS in the fish
cry matter, so in the case of the seals in
Behring Sea If Canada has grievance it
must be presented to this government by
England in order to command any attention.
Canada may send cruisers into Behring Sea
as she sent them to patrol her Eastern
waters inside the three mile limit, but of
herself she can never settle the question, I'M
less first she becomes an independent nation.

1t appears to have been decided at last to
have no extra session of Congress. On the
whole, it looks as if no mistake had been
made, for though there are some strong rea-
sons for calling Congress together earlier
than usual, they are not so stroug as to rem
der an extra session imperative. And to
justify an extra session the reasons must ap
proach nearly if not quite to that point

The terrible explosion at Antwerp, with its
appalling loss of life, appears to have been
the result of the grossest kind of careless
ness. The cartridge factory which was the
source of the mischief was known to be dan
gerous and had been condemned, yet it was
permitted to continue operations. Upon
somebody rests terrible responsibility.

The New York Prohbitionist and the

accord on one point. Neither of them
wants high license. AS the defeat of high
license means free rum the attitude of the
