Trailing skirts and White Stockings.
Fashion seems to be vibrating just at
h moment as to her coming dictum
about skirts. From some European quar-
tiers it is reported that the long skirts
are on the eve of sweeping themselves
out Of existence, and in evidence it is
quoted that as white hosiery and strap
shoes are certainly to be worn, trailing
petticoats will have to go. Even fashion,
that unreasonable dame, would hardly
expect white stockings to be kept wear
able with long skirts. But isn't it out Of
the frying pan into the fire, / many event;

The Rebellion in Manchuria.

Military men-and they should know
tell us the Chinese are the best of fighters
when concealed by the walls of q vessel or
fort, or when commanded by American or
European trained officers; but, lacking these
essentials, they are as noncombatative q
race as can be found anywhere on the globe.
That, perhaps, accounts for the ease with
which the Manchu Tartars conquered them
in ancient times. So complete was this
subjugation that the Manchus compelled
the Chinese to wear their hair in queue
as reminder of their bondage. It is Gu
rious fact that this queue should become in
time the national and religious sign SO rev.
erenced by the Chinese when it had so base
an origin. Besides, since being conquered
by the sword, they have conquered the con-
querors, through no other medium than
their arts and native craftiness. Through
the famous wall the Tartar hordes once
swept, sword in hand, and with hardly an
effort defeated every Chinese force sent
against them. Now, the Chinese have
found their way back, gradually overcom-
ing the Tartars by their shrewdness Not
only have they reached the former limits
of their domain, but beyond it and away
into the former territory of theif enemies.
They have evidently adopted the theory that
if they could not fight the enemy they

has been that the old Tartar race has been
almost if not quite eliminated. Hardly
sign or token of the original race inhabit
the country.
This mixture of Tartar ferocity and
Chinese craft has resulted in strain that
will give the Chinese Government heap of
trouble now that rebellion has broken out
in that region. The Emperor of the Chinese,
boy as he is, is inclined to treat the matter
with contempt. will be surprised if the
affair does not prove serious one to him
before it is over. The dependency of Man
churia has population of 12,000 900, sup
posedly controlled by what is called the
army Of Manchuria, force of 10000 men,
divided into two army corps-one at Tzitsi-
har, the capital of the province. aud the
other at Moukden, a progressive city of
perhaps 200, 900 inhabitants. The army is
well armed, and, if composed principally Of
the Tartar element, may be able to keep the
rebellion down. WHKIE

Art Critics Of the Republic.

A fact which shows how the interest In o
strong personality survives was the anxiety
displayed by the crowds at the Capitol to
gaze upon the massive ex-Czar, MI. Thomas
B. Reed. Small crowds followed him as he
rolled through the wide doors, and big
crowds stood before the Reed portrait which
John s. Sargent, the distinguished artist,
has painted, and which has Just been hung
in the lobby of the House, back of the
Speakers desk
ticed BY Americans in general, no one could
have done better than stand before that por-
trait during the half hour which followed
the adjournment after the opening session
on Monday. Here are O few criticisms
which were made during that time and
which gather some interest from the names
Of those who uttered them. Had Mr.. Sar-
gent been there to listen his fine brown
eyes must have filled with scalding tears,
or else with scornful glee, VIII Oh is more
probable. It is advisable to mention the
fact that the portrait is as6ne sample Of
Sargent's work and has been much rayed
about. At first there came along on this
particular occasion Congressman Catchings,
of Mississippi, an able lieutenant of the
glorious Crisp.
"Worst thing ever saw done by man
with reputation" said Mr. Catchings, and
passed on.
Next came Congressman Caldwell, of Gin
cinnati. He had heard that the painter was
q great man and did not care to commit him.
self. It was good, and yet it was bad he
said-mostly bad But the lady on his arm
could give q valuable opinion. She was
great critic. The lady was Mrs: Storer, wife
of the Congressman who beat Butterworth.
Mrs. Storer gave the work careful consider
alton; then she said: 'The eyes are bad and
the face is panty"
This technical criticism made consider
able impression. Delegate Joseph, of New
Mexico looked up at the portrait and re-
marked: "Simply horrible"
Mr.. Frank B. German, distinguished
officer of the House, said: 'eAwfulp' And
to emphasize his opinion added: "We can
beat that in Chicago"
The Hon. William Springer, once candi-
date for Speaker, the man whose vote de-
looked at Sargent's effort with an express
sion of pain. He shook his fine gray
head
"a botch; looks as If Reed had been
drunk for a week when il was painted" said
he 1t should be remembered that Mr.
Springer does not love Mr.. Reed with mad
passion.
Many other great men denounced the
thing Twenty-Five Republican Congress
men have suggested that the picture be done
away with and another substituted.
A plain citizen, without title and with
soul fuller of emphasis than OF grammar,
put in few words the feeling of the crowd
when he said: "For heavens sake, who
done that?"
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, was an excep-
tion. He thought it was good picture.
These adverse opinions were conveyed to
Mr. Reed, in the Shoreham, where he lay.
He did not seem to care very much. He
stuck up for Mr.. Sargent, whom he selected
to do the work. He said he thought it was
not in the kind of light that Mr.. Sargent
meant for it, and that it was painted to be
To- ked at from distance. 1t would proba-
bly, be hard to find just the right light for it.

Safe to Become Rich and Powerful? II
Prosperity a Fsilure?" The increasing
mania for blowing up, shooting or otherwise
disposing of the rich and influential has
greatly disturbed those who believe them
selves to be on the high road to success, and
perhaps consoled the men who begin to
admit the possibility of failure. Many fine
theories have been advanced, but the moral
of the situation seems to be that it is very
fortunate that at the beginning of the world
Providence put the instinct of self-preserva-
ton so deep down in every human soul-no
matter how small and narrow the soul.
That important instinct has been looked
upon generally as intended to preserve its
individual possessor and keep him at his
work on top of the earth. 1t seems, how
ever, that the putting Of this instinct In
such large quantities into the narrowest
soul, which by itself would hardly be worth
preserving, is intended as a protection for

lreIand's New Chief Secretary.

When Balfour was, few weeks since,
made First Lord ofthe Treasury of England,
he left vacant, of course, his former Office Of
Chief Secretary for Ireland. And what a
memory besidesl
1t has been the common talk recently
that he was not as bad as he was painted,
and that Ireland was really all the better
for his stewardship. But how many Irish
men could be made to believe that? And
do you blame them? No matter what Bal

to make up for his earlier work, there is
not the slightest doubt that he deserved, at
least some years ago, all the curses and
anathemas heaped upon him by the Irish
people. think am not too severe, for,
though he was undoubtedly acting under
the instructions of the power that paid him,
that is no reason why he should have per-

WATCH THE KENDALS.
Speaker Crisp's Parents We're Very
Like the Popular Actors.
CRITICISING TOM REEDS PORTRAIT.
New Yorks Ambitious Men All Upset by the
Russell Sage Affair.
PADEREWSKTS IDEAS OF TERRAPIN

" CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-This important
city has eondescended to watch and talk
about Washington this week. New Workers
have taken greater interest in the doings
at the capital than in their own city. No
one could pretend to give an idea Of New
York's interests without going to look at
things in the law-making city.
The moral Of the great event, Mr. Crisp's
election to the speakership, appears to be
that we must watch the development and
progress of the children born to Mr. and
Mrs Kendall That election sternly re-
Dukes those newspaper writer's who have
made light of the unusual conjugal bliss in
which the Kendals revel and who have
compared the happy English couple to a
pair of white rabbits.
The lively interest which all America
must now feel in the Kendals is due to the
fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall reproduce
with wonderful exactness the English
couple to whom we owe our new Speaker.
Like the Kendals, Mr.. and Mrs. Crisp,
parents of our Speaker, were actors Like
the Kendals, they were q devoted couple;
like the Kendals, they played parts which
enabled them on the stage as well as of to
play into each others arms.
They came to this country, earned dollars,
and liked it, ss the Kendals have done.
They had their share of babies, as the
Kendals have, and their son has made him.
self great in the land. Therefore, we must
watch the Kendall babies. The Constitu-
tion will not let any Kendall baby beat our
little wonders in the race to the White
House, but for speakerships and such jobs
the Kendall babies are clearly menace to
our homemade little ones.

interest at stake, the ones who will have to
dance to his fiddling, are asking: "Who the
deuce is Jackson?" Well may they ask,
for it is certainly matter Of great concern
to them, what tunes the new master may
play. particularly now when they have no
one like Parnell to hammer Parliament
until justice is granted, if for nothing else
than mere shame's sake.
In truth it NAV be said that few outside
his own immediate following have ever
heard of the Hon. Mr.. Jackson. He is
about 80 years of age and halls from Leeds.
He was in business as a tanner there, and q
director of the Great Northern Railway.
Several times unsuccessful, he has been re-
turned to the Commons at odd times as an
opponent of the Gladstonian party He has
also had some experience in handling Irish
affairs; no one seems to know what, but, as
it is given out that way, we will have to
take it for granted.
