AT the approach Of spring and fall tho
part of the costume that seem to require
our first attention is assuredly the head
gear. The searching rays of early
spring sunshine discovers all the weak
places in our armor, and above all makes
the winter hat look heavy and incon-
sistent with nature. On the same prin-
ciple, q hat worn in summer, however
we'll preserved, looks forlorn after the
first frost, except perhaps for evening
wear. Though to be sure the carly fall

He Attributes the Republican Defeat to
Variety of Causes.
Representative Mckinley was interviewed in
Chicago yesterday. On being asked to what he
ascribed the republican defeat last Tuesday
and what influence the Mckinley bill had on
the election he replied: 'There were a variety
of causes. 1t was an off year and the first
general election after the presidential election
of 1888. There was a large stay-at-home vote
of republicans.
This is made more manifest as the official
returns are announced and is not at all unusual
at the first congressional election following
great national contest like that of 1888. Patron
age, always an element Of weakness to the
party in power doubtless had something to do
with the indifference Of the republicans. 1t
Will no doubt be found that q number of repub-
llcan candidates for Congress we're defeated
because OF the dissatisfaction of the republicans
with the distribution of the post Offices and
other federal offices. Maryland was gerry

''The Farmers Alliance in some Of the

TO the defeat of the republican party in these
states, while in Wisconsin, as Judge from the
press reports, a purely local question in no wise
connected with the national issues carried down
the republican majority. In Pennsylvania a
democratic governor was elected. not upon any
national or purely party question, but from
causes altogether local, and of course, in no
way related to the tariff
II do not know to what extent the new tariff
law influenced the elections this year. 1t is
said in some quarters that it had much to do
with the republican losses. This may be true
but If true it is not because Of the new Law itself
but because of the misunderstanding of it's
provisions among the people, and of the studied
effort OF the free traders at home and abroad
to misrepresent it."

GETTING TIRED OF IT.
Judge Miller Will Not Hold Court Il


the Police Stations Much Longer.
Judge Miller didn't mention names, but he
complained III the Police Court this morning
that the work OF putting the old court building
in order was progressing very slowly. He said
that the work was not much nearer completion
than it was when the start was first made.
Somebody, the court thought, did not realize
the necessity Of putting the building in order
as soon as possible. The police lieutenants
had kindly given the use Of the station houses
for the court and he does not want to impose
upon them.
The judges remarks we're in response to a
suggestion made by Mr.. Dumont about the
trial OF liquor cases. He said that on account
OF the difficulty attending the hearing of these
cases, the carrying of papers from one station
to another and the trouble Of getting the wit
nesses at the proper station. he thought that
this character of cases should be continued
until the court gets back to the old building.
Judge Miller thought the suggestion was q
good one and ordered that all liquor cases be
docketed for the Oath Of this month The de-
PENDANTS can appear on that day and the cases
will then be set for trial. The Judge said he
did not intend to hold court in the police sta
tiOns much longer
