SOME of the Republican papers look
with apprehension upon the disposition
to run the pension business on free
and easy system that will admit the I'M
deserving and impose a burden that
will endanger reaction. The Pitts

sion," and says Of the service bill pro-
posed: 1.-The prospective bill will add
unprecedented terror to all promise of
future wars" Other prominent Re-
publican papers speak in similar tone.

FASHIONABLE FRAGMENTS.

Yellow sunshades are rather startling,
but they are out all the same, some
being trimmed with black lace or fringe.
A cutaway jacket with coat tails has
been adopted by Flora McFlimsey, who
becomes more and more masculine.
White satin for brides is going out OF
fashion ever since somebody said it
makes the youngest bride look like an
old woman.
Tortoise shell jewelry has come back
with run. The new bangles of shell
are wide enough to convey the idea of a
broken wrist.
Evening costumes are cut so low in
the back that the waist limit has been
reached. and now fashion may take an
upward turn.
Gauze wells of all colors appear to be
the fad, and have various effects upon
the complexion, and at the same time
injure the eyes.

OuMuLATIVE VOTING.

Inc system OF voting In the DakOtaS
provided in the enabling act was found
to have none of the alarming possibili-
ties assumed by some who supposed
SPRINGER had put something like dyna-
mite into it to shatter the Re publican
machine. Under its operation rather
less than one-third of the membership
of the conventions is elected by Demo
Gratis. Some districts chose three Repub-
licans and no Democrats, as could be
very easily done even where the Demo-
Gratis had much more than third of the
votes. For instance, if the Republicans
had 1000 votes and the Democrats
600. the Republicans could give two
men $50 votes each and the third man
700, while the Democrats gave one or
two men 600 each and no more. 1t is
not the best minority method, but there
can be little objec ton to the fact that
the minority parties will have fair
representation in the conventions. Care
has been taken to select capable and re-
liable men, and there is no reason why
the work of the conventions should not
be generally satisfactory.

IT IS singular fact that the revenue
officers never seem to find it out when
prohibition is enforced in any state,
and the sale of liquor exterminated.
They go right on collecting the govern
ment license just as if liquor W ere still
sold. In Iowa. for instance, it is claimed
that prohibition is very effectively en-
forced, and yet the revenue collector
for the Dubuque district, which covers
more than half the state, finds from his
books that he has issued liquor licenses
for every county and every town with
over 300 inhabitants. He finds also a
good many who attempt to sell without
license, and are prosecuted. He states
that there are more dealers than there
were before the law was passed. Pro
hibition does not diminish the govern
ment revenue. Yet the advocates of
prohibition in sections where it is not
adopted find some of their strongest ar
guments in the testimony Of Iowa peo-
pie that liquor has been kept out of
that state, and its smell never taints the
pure atmosphere.

CURIOUS HEADGEAR.

In Norway high hat. shaped some
thing like flower pot is worn. and the
C0SSack wears hat like StOyepipe,
without brim.
To-day among the Swiss hat is worn
similar in form to the old Puritan hat.
1t, however, is often ornamented with
gay-cOlored ribbons laced aboutit.
The marabout, or black priest Of Ma
hOlnmed, who WanderS among the Afri-
can tribes, wears upon his sable head a
white cap or fez. such as he expects to
wear in paradise.
An African hat is in the form Of q
helmet, woven of ruSheS or straw. hav-
ing peaked top and mask or visor
extending down over the face. There
are two holes or goggles for the eyes.
I. In M0hammedan countries the turban
is found. Some of these are scarfs
wrapped and twisted about the head.
Others are combinations Of scarfs and
fez, with button and tassel.
When stovepipe hats we're first intro
duced among Indians they usually
punched the top out of them the first
thing for the sake of ventilation, as
they did not care to have their heads
hot.
I. The Chinese mandarin and men Of
consequence wear little round silk skull
caps most of the time. They are Orna-
mented on the top with buttons, whose
colers denote the order or rank Of the
Wearer.
Among the coolies round umbrella
like hats are worn. They serve for
shelter from storm and sun, in the place
of umbrellas when it rains and parasolS
when the rays of the sun beat down I'M
comfortably.
The South Sea islanders in many
cases. go without hats. Two elaborate
head dresses from the Easter islands are
conspicuous in one of the cases. They
have no crowns. but are simply bands
to so about the head, ornamented with
fo0ster feathers.
- Among the Indians Of the northwest
coast and the Alaskans there are sew
erai forms of hats. One in the museum
from the Aleutian islands is formed like
q round dish or bowl. Figures are
painted ON it, and ON each side of the
crown is bunch of long walrus bris-
ties. It has on its top big glass but
ton or bead.
r A singular Corean hat is fgreat
round mat of straw worn by
mOurner. This goes with costume of
coarse cloth. The hat is bound down
at the sides so as to almost conceal the
head and face of the Wearer. He car
Iies In his hand a screen or fan, and
when In the road any 0net approaches;
him he holds this screen in front OF him
so that it. together with the hat COM
pletely cOnceals him.

Identified with No Living Issue.

There is every reason why the Demo
Gratis should now be expected to unite
heartily in support of their own candi-
dates, and no reason for supposing that
the Republicans will maintain the
strength which they have exhibited in
the last two years. The course of the
National Administration is likely to have
a depressing effect, and in matters aft ect-
ingtaxation and the railroads the Demo-
Gratis hold a position of decide d advan-
tage.
The nomination of General E. Burd
to rely solely on it's sadly impaired pres
tige and the record of it's achievements of
years ago. He was nominated on his war
record of a quarter of a century ago, and
is in no way identified with any living
question of the day.-NeaO York Times.

Liquor and Double Dealing.

The Republican press has done a
great deal of yawping for the last
week or so over the liquor question.
We presume they will give us peace
now. The editors have been roundly
snubbed by the party, and they will
have all they can for the rest of the
campaign to find holes to crawl
out of.
The chief reproach against the Re
publican party in the past, as respects
the liquor question, has not baen that
it was wrong, but that it was dishon-
est as well as wrong. 1t is of little
use, now that the whole matter
has been practically settled
to the satisfaction of nine
tenths of the voters by Democratic
legislation, to inveigh against the
peculiar oppression of the alleged Re
publican doctrine-a form of injustice
much worse than prohibition. But 1t
is always timely to expose fraud and
p%retence.
The dishonesty Of the party, which
has always been clear enough, was,
however, openly avowed at Trenton
yesterday. A platform which
was plainly intended to mean
one thing in n county and
another thing in another, was
adopted. But even that did not suf-
fee. One large and influential sec
ton of the convention put its inter
probation of the platform formally
on record as a mere high license Of
pro-liquor platform. An equally large
and influential section simultaneously
proclaimed that the liquor plank was
an out and out declaration in favor OF
local option
1t is hard to see just what the party
leaders hope to gain by this double
dealing. Do they think the liquor
interests are easily imposed on, or
do they take the church temperance
people for fools? Arguing on general
principles, we should expect such a
constituencies deception would repel
all classes.

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.
A Remarkable CONTRAST

The Sewell Convention at Trenton
yesterday presented a remarkable
contrast to the assemblage OF the pre-
ceding Tuesday. Abbett's nomina-
ton was the result of the unanimous
will of every delegation, expressing
the sentiments of their constituents.
Grubb was placed in the field by the
pressure of the machine, that crushed
out all independent sentiment. In
order to accomplish that result and
prevent an open split on the local OPP
ton issue the managers were obliged
to adopt a compromise platform
which, like their negative candidate,
can only serve to hold together the
organization of a party conscious of
approaching defeat y y
The only sensible step taken by the
convention was the effort to escape

A noted clergyman is reported TO have
said recently that if he found a strange
burglar in his house at night he would
arise, and, armed with o large chunk of
kindness and q bottle of soothing syrup,
go to him and talk with him as a friend
on politics, the weather and the like, also
treating him to a piano solo. Then, if the
burglar refused to ante up all his ill-got-
ten gains on the parlor table, he would
escort him to the 'front.' door, and give
him his carfare home, requesting him to
cali again some time when he was out,
and bring his family. These are not ex-
actly the reverend gentleman's words,
but they Illustrate the fact that he was
cut out more for a circulation editor than
a minister. -Ldaerence american.

A Pretty Fight This Year.

The chances of electing General Grubb
are as about three out of ten. He has OPP
posed to him a strong man and a sturdy
and dexterous fighter. The Senatorial
succession is also a stumbling block in
the way. There is always danger that
the Republican Legislative whale may
swallow the Gubernatorial Jonah.
1t is a very pretty fight this year in Jer-
sey, and we tender to all parties the as
surance Of our distinguished considera-
ton, with the hope that tariff reform will
come out on top.-Phtladelphia Record.

now 10 neeome a capitalist.

Somebody must W. money, and the
people who save it will be the capitalists,
and they will control the organization o,
industry and receive the larger share OF
the profits. If the workingmen win save
their money they may be not only sharers
of profits, but owners of stock and re-
ceivers Of dividends. And the workmen
can save their money if they will. 1t is
the only way in which they can per-
manently and surely improve their con
dition. Legislative reforms, improved
industrial methods, may make the way
easier for them, but there is no road TO
comfort and independence after all but
the plain, old path Of steady work and
sober saving. If the working people of
| this country would save, for the next five
years, the money that they spend OF beer
and tobacco and baseball, they could con
troll a pretty large share of the capital
employed in the Industries by which they
get their living, and they could turn the
| dividends of this capital from the pockets
of the money-lenders into their own.
There is no other way of checking the
congestion of wealth and of promoting its
diffusion, so expeditions, so certain, and
so beneficient as this. | wish the working
people would try little Forum.

Letters That Never Game.

Probably not one in a hundred persons
who have made a mistake in directing a
letter ort neglected to put on a postage
stamp would be willing to believe himself
guilty of such carelessness without con-
vincing proof; yet post office officials will
tell us that such plumbers are of frequent
occurrence. Over 1000 pieces of misdi-
rected matter are received at the enquiry
division of the Boston Post Office daily,
and clerks in other offices have CORE
spending stories to tell. A common blum
der in summer is to direct letters to SOME
summer resort, putting on the local name
of the place, which is not the name of any
post office. Among addresses of this kind
lately noticed were:-'Stone Cottage,
Me-" "Graves Cottage, Lake City, Me-"

As a sample OF the work required to
find lost letters and the system of tracing
them, the story Of the search after a letter
mailed at Eastport June 30, by Special
Agent L. Aubrey Byrne, Who was there
in connection with the seizure of the
schooner Edna May, is interesting. The
letter was addressed to Boston and should
have reached there on the morning of
July 2, but for some cause it did not ar
rive until evening. AS the early arrival
of the letter was of much Importance, the
receiver, Colonel l.. M. Montgomery,
Special Agent United States Treasury,
gave the envelope to the Postmaster for
Investigation of the delay. The Postmas-
ter wrote to the agent of the mailingdivi
sion, he to the Superintendent of Railway
Mail Service, he to the Eastern Postmas-
ter, who replied that the letter left his
office on time. Letters then went to and
from the Calais Postmaster, the chief
clerk of the mail service at Portland, the
clerk in charge of the Vanceboro and
Bangor mails and others, and only after
the writing of sixteen letters did Colonel
Montgomery learn that the delay was due
to misconnection of trains at Vanceboro,
and that nobody was to blame LcloiSton
