Especial Correspondence of THE INDEpENDENT.l
@EW YORK, OCT. 3d. SAW AN
IloI odd thing on Madison avenue this
lX afternoon, which reminded me that
the people who went abroad this
summer have brought home an unusual
number of strange notions with them. The
curiosity that excited luv interest was a
spaniel in boots. Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde
has held the palm in the past for exercising
the most inventive genius in the clothing
Of pet dogs, but the many patterned ulsters
contrived by that resourceful lady must
withdraw respectfully into the background
before the stockings and shoes sported by
this high-stepping canine aristocrat.

Just three shades darker than the beasts
skin, were united leather soles, in which
the dog went pattering and Gathering along
the pavement, like tho Dutch urchins who
play beside the canals in Amsterdam, in

half way up the legs and fastened with
elastic bands The spaniel seemed to
belong to dark, handsome girl who spoke
French to him. or perhaps, it would be
moro nearly correct to say that she seemed
to belong to him.
1t ia very lively autumn in the matter
of marrying and giving in marriage, and
have mind to describe for you the pret-
tiest trousseau have seen. 1t is in process

gold gallon. The dull red, black and gold
is very effective on the pretty little yellow
haired brids.
A costume for which I have no particular
liking but which would suit many tastes
the better Of the two, is snowy by its side.
1t is a tea gown of white brocade opening

tlounces of chiffon, placed one above
another and edged with wide lace. The

gold and green pnssementerie trimming is

| on the hips in pendant with deep frinqes
and shaped like a bag. The costume has
narrow pointed train.
Much more simple and sensible, if people
would not insist on GRANDEUR for poor little
brides is frock of pale blue wool with
white dots. 1t has a sacque yoke trimming
OF wide guipure, Il La Ponpadour, and 4
| sash of white satin. Full sleeves fall over
fiat sleeves of guipure.
A dinner dress, which would feel slighted
if was unkind enough to pass it over in
silence, is Of steely gray bengaline, color

chemisette and full elbow sleeves Of silver

tho trousseau, this one has a pointed train.
The skirt trimmings are Of passementerie

the waist and CROSSES in front, and is then
drawn up under the arms in the middle of
the back, where it ties in a bow, the ends
falling to the ground. As you see it in the
sketch it is piquant toilet, with its lace
and ribbon adornments, but not one to be
recommended for general adoption.

below the waist, and has brocaded silk

The girl who won't go to the extreme of

her affections couple of inches or perhaps
three inches longer than it was last year.
1t hasn't changed much in any other par

it is more correct to say it has become more
pointed, and it keeps its high, neck-spoiling
collar.
It is peculiar, isn't it, that when every
physician who has spoken on the subject
has agreed that women are doing the ut

TIE number of farmers interested in
banking and the amount of their stock

comparison with any other or all other
glasses of the community, would in all
probability be found to be a great sur
prise. 1t can be stated positively that
large portion of the banking capital
of so new country as northwestern
Iowa is, is owned by farmers and repre-
sents their profits from farming opera
lions. Not only so, but it is owned by
farmers who few years ago were them

THE Cleveland letter has crea

THE Cleveland letter has created a
disturbance among Iowa democrats.
A reporter approached Gov. Boies
about the subject Tuesday, but he de
clined to give any definite opinion. lie
said, however, that he was with his par
ty on the silver question though he
does not know just where his party
stands. Laborer Sovereign, who is at
the head of democratic affairs and sta
tistics in Iowa, was more communica-
tive. lie decisiyely denounced Cleve-
lands anti-silyer letter, and said that
should Cleveland be made the demo-
cratic nominee for president in 1892, he
would take the stump against him. He
thinks further that that will be the day
for the triumph of third party. Its
rather blustery day when the COVER.
nor and his statistical bureau are at
outs. Soyereign's record however,
would not warrant the hope that he
would long remain loyal to Boies and
democracy, though thsy dragged him
from becoming obscurity. lie has been
Ia ambush for an opportunity to prove
that be is greater than Boies and de-
mocraey In Iowa, and it seems that the
cleveland letter is the dividing line.

In the death of Gen. Sherman the
country loses one of the brayest of its
brave defenders, and in the light of his
record history will concede to him all
the elements of greatness rs a warrior.
Bravery and courage, promoted by
strong convictions and the proweSs of II
strategist assured his succes5 in the role
in which he was cast in the war for the
preservation of the Union. His career
is an inspiration to all who shall peruse
the record of dauntless endeayor. But
the brightest page. of that history, the
one that should be repeated from the
rostrum, and reiterated in the public
schools as an example in patriotism, re-
cites the facts wherein, while under the
nominal influence of the Confederacy
he took an unquestioned and unques-
tionable stand for the Union and the
old flag. Surrounded by much the same
influences as won Lee to the support of
the South, his strong personal convic-
tons prompted him to Spurn them all
and proclaim his undying devotion,
his loyalty of thought and action to the
government. Lee the rebel General,
in similar circumstances was as clay in
the pottcr'S hands. w. Il. Sherman
was at the head of military institu-
ton in Louisiana when the war broke
out, and the Confedcracy, anticipating
the brilliancy of his military career, eX-
pected his sympathy and assistance, cx-
pected that he would with millions of
others submit to the cast made for him
by the mold of circumstances. 1t was
then that the convictions of the man
asserted themselves, that his iudiyidu-
ality appeared, and on the 18th of Jan
uary, 1861, he wrote the governor of
Louisiana:
"As occupy quaSi-military posi-
ton under this state, deem it proper
to acquaint you that | accepted such
position when Louisiana was II state in
the Union and when the motto of the
seminary inserted in marble over the
main door was; by the Liberality of
the General Government OF the United
States: The Union EstO Perpetual.
Recent events foreshadOw Il great
change and it becomes all men to
choose. If Louisiana withdraws from
the Federal Union prefer to maintain
my allegiance to the old constitution as
long as IA fragment of it survives, and
my further stay here would be wrong
in every sense of The word. | beg you
to take immediate steps to relieve me
as superintendent the moment the S ate
determines to secedc, for on 10 earthly
account will do any act, or think any
thought hostile to or in defiance of the
old government of the United States"
Whatever may be said in discussion
as to "Who is Greatest" let nothing de-
tract from the patriotism Of this unqucS-
toned and Incorporating Geclara-
ton. With intelligent effort actu-
ated by such conviction the notable
career was deserved achievement and
an inspiration to patriotic, courageous
and worthy endeavor.
