The dressmakers are inclined TO admit
a little color in graduating or commence
ment gowns this year. The majority Of
girls, including the younger ones, prefer
or are required TO wear a simple white
dress. The older ones like tinge of
color to break the monotony. Soft silk
and wooden materials will be worn instead
Of stiff fabrics. The materials having the
largest sale include white India silk, cream
challie. crepe de chien, silk, null, hem
stitched nuns yelling and white Brus-
sells net. A pretty dress can be made Of
Brussels net, trimmed with narrow
straw -colored ribbons. The bodice should
have a large turnover collar and lines Of
knotted ribbons running from the left
shoulder to the bodice point. The rib
bons should be worked around the skirt
every three or four inches and tied in
bows at intervals. The skirt should be
slightly draped on both sides. A pretty
Marguerite dress can be made
Of white surah. trimmed with
silver. The bodice has short points front
and back. full sleeves and deep cuffs. An
ornament of silver runs from the left
shoulder to the bodice point. The skirt
is also decorated with silver, and made
with a deep point over a lace petticoat.
White nuns yelling, trimmed with some
old.colored narrow velvet ribbon, would
make a pretty combination. The body
has low collar, showing the neck, and a
belt of velvet brought to a point in
front. The skirt is trimmed similar to
the body. No hustle is worn with this
costume. A fashionable dressmaker has
just finished for graduate a dress Of
white cashmere, with white surah vest
and Lord Fauntleroy sash. The skirt
has three broad folds Of surah on the left
side. The sleeves reach to the elbow. A

A Hero Of BalnkInv..

A Cincinnati despatch says "For
some days a gentleman, who is said to be
an agent Of the British government, has
been searching for John Levick. He was
found Wednesday at the American Hotel
a cheap hostelry, at 10S Central avenue
where he is working as a waiter for 81. 80
week. Mr.. Levick, who was a sergeant
In Her Majesty s army when he left IL, was
born at Sheffield, England. March s, 1886,
and enlisted In the Eighth Royal Irish
Hussars, in Nottingham barracks, Feb.
ruary 10, 1858. He was soon ordered TO
Turkey, where His regiment was reviewed
by Osman Pasha. He served all through
the Crimean war, and was in the battles
Of Balaklava Inkerman, and at the siege
OF Sebastopol. He was one Of the
famous 600 who assaulted the Jaws of
death. His description of the charge is
thrilling and vivid Sergeant LeviclI has
an oil painting which he took from
house in Sebastopol He also has
Turkish English medal commemorative
of the war. The medal has four clasps.
each representing one Of the four great
battles of the war Levick came to
America in 1857. He has a wife and
family, well provided for, in Cleveland
but has nothing TO do with them. He
only got out of hospital in indianapolis
a few weeks ago, where he was in six
months. He has the orders promoting
him TO an orderly for gallantry at Balak
lava, and later on promoting him to the
rank of sergeant He exhibits scores of
letters asking for his autograph and pic
ture. II is understood that the British
| government will make some substantial
return 70 any survivors of that famous
charge it can find"

THIS journal (says the New York
Press more than year ago urge1 this
tremendous point in favor of protection
that TO buy broad what we can produce
at home Is source OF national loss, in
as much as the nations wealth is drawn
ON to pay the maintenance of the
laborers who would be employed to make
the imported article if it were made at
home.
There is not respectable teacher of
political economy in the world nor sen.
sible business man who would admit the
truth Of such proposition. If we send
10 pounds of cotton to France in barter
for pair of kid gloves we are richer
than if we gave 10 pounds of cotton for
the same pair Of gloves here. We have
the gloves and pounds of cotton If A
gives 10 pounds of cotton to B for the
same gloves, A is poorer and b is richer
but the county has lest good bargain
and is poorer also.

Some of those exotics of national leg

provided themselves with interesting
excursions for the summer at the expense
OF the taxpayers. In order to investi-
gate the Indian question, Mr.. Dawes
proposes to take in Alaska as well as the
other territories, and his committee will
likely run up a bill OF expenses Of
alarming dimensions. Mr. Hoar and his
committee will, it is said, study our
Canadian relations by a junketing trip
to Puget Sound and visit to all the
points Of interest along the Canadian
Pacific line. with flying trip, perhaps to
Behring Straits. Other committees will
also spend the summer travelling about
the continent, while their bills will be
paid out Of the treasury. The country

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Commissioners 80 HArti.

New York Herald.
Our Washington correspondence con
tains some interesting details about the
sending Of commissioners to Hayti. But
the most interesting part Of the report.
1t strikes us, is the profound ignorance
Of every prominent member Of the ad
ministration about the matter. at the
State Department Secretary Blaine and
others refused to speak. At the White
House the President sent for an
swers that he had no information
to give, as the whole matter was
in Secretary Blaine's hands. Secretary
Tracy knew nothing about any commits
sioners. Mr.. Preston, the Haytian Min
lister, was Just as ignorant as Secretary
| Tracy and the diplomatic corps seems to be
as crammed with ignorance as everybody
except the State Department. This ig-
norance is SO general and profound that we
| will venture on a suggestion which may
| throw light on the mystery. There are two
forces striving for the control Of Haytl; !;
one under Legitime as the head, the
other under Hyppolte. Minister Preston
represents the Legitime government,
which holds the capital, Port au Prince.
| Possibly Mr.. Blaine inclines to consider
favorably the Hyppolte party. That party
so long ago as last December made over
lures to Mr. Bayard, and the extract from
the noteofDr NemoursAuguste,r represent
ative Of Hyppolite which appeared in our
Washington correspondence, shows that
Mr.. Bayard had then engaged himself
not to recognize Legitime, and promised
that the United States would act with
entire impartiality toward the two fec
tions In the same note it will
be seen that Hyppolite's agent
made friendly offers Of commercial
advantages to the United States in return
for recognition. It strikes us that if
Mr.. Blaine meant to recognize Hypolite
or TO deal with him he would not unnatu-
rally do this without consulting Mr..
Preston, the Minister Of Legitime. 1t
will be observed that Hypolite's agent
speaks of favorable duties and of the
Mole St. Nicholas for coaling station.

If man has delivered speech in

subscribed to fund, or used his team
for election purposes, or secured a ward
or town delegation for this or that con
vention last year, and particularly if he
has been fortunate enough to own or
control party newspaper-he supposes
himself entitled to a good appointment
under the new administration, And in
too many instances. it must be admitted,
the validity of such claims has been
acknowledged by the administration, by

Harrison has called to his aid, and for
whose conduct he is supposed to be re

Washington star.
Next to taking charge Of matters in
Samoa himself, Bismarck would be
pleased with casting of responsibility
for the conduct of the Samoans upon
Americans. Germanys interference in
affairs there has been resented. If he
can get the American government to in
terfere point will be gained and pre-
cedent established. The United States
should not take the responsibility
of insisting that any particular
man be received by the Samoans
as King, even though one of
the claimants be the old King whom Ger
many dethroned This king will be
rightfully restored to his people, and
reparation, instead of pardon, is due to
him from Germany; but the Samoans
should say for themselves which of the
candidates they prefer as ruler If
Germany, in addition to getting indem-
nifty for soldiers killed by the Samoans in
self defense. can put the United States
in the attitude Of selecting a King for
Samoa she will gain the diplomatic vic
tory, for the American contention has
been that the Samoans should decide
such questions for themselves.
