NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
A Few Hints on the Latest Additions to
Dress.

n
Dress.
Birds and birds wings and breast
feathers are largely used on autumn
toaues, turbans and close French bon
nets.
The autumn wraps have nearly all OF
them wide sleeves shaped to go on COM
fortably over the full sleeve of the
gown. Some of the coats themselves
are made with n bishop sleeve gathered
into a deep Cromwellian cuff of fur or
velvet.
Fine French fiannelette in gray,
cream Or ecru makes admirable night
gowns for children during. the winter;
and the combination garment, though
not so Pretty as muslin trimmed with
embroidery, is of greater benefit, and
requires little care beyond thorough
washing.
Costumes of fancy wollens with very
light grounds, gray, ecru, mastie, mush-
room color, amber brown, etc, crossed
with the silkiest of shaggy bars in
mixed colorings-often scarlet, green
and gold-or in checks. stripes and
blurred detached patterns, are made up
in jaunty styles, many of them too
ianciful for any but youthful wearers.
The reign of every sort of vest is pro-
longed by permission Of TIE tailors,
who still introduce blouse-vests beneath
loose-fronted coats. Vests are even
worn with ridingha bits, but in this
case are severely cut, and do not allow
Of variation at will. Black, blue and
green self-colored cloths are not the
only eolors permitted the equestrian.
There are blue cloths figured with tiny
shaggy dots, which are charming va
riety.
Felt hats in shaggy eamePs-hair ef-
fects, also felt mottled, mixed,
shot, and ombred, are brought out, to
be worn en- suite with tailor costumes
of similar pattern. The sailor hat is
again among the list, also the familiar
Alpine shape with its dented crown
considerably lower than formerly. A
neat and very becoming modification
of that old prime favorite, the English
walking hat, has appeared, less narrow
on the front, and not rolled closely to
the crown on the sides, making it more

women, to whom the shape, like the
Frech turban, is always boon.
Some very pretty laced boots, with
an extra-high Spanish instep, are made
ready for late autumn and winter wear.
These are graceful in outline with
moderately high heel, and with room
enough in the shoe for its wearer to
walk normally. Many women are ig-
norant of what constitutes a really
beautiful foot. So that it is small they
suppose that there is nothing more to
be desired. The new laced shoe has
slightly projecting sole, which is a
feature of many of the new models.
The wide sole eventually gives the foot
a narrower appearance than that which,
wanting in width, allows the sides of
the foot to crowd over, and very soon
the whole shoe loses it's original out
lines and the feet look distorted in con-
sequence. 1t is always well to select
shoe little longer than the foot; it i'm

administered by German officials. The

administered by German officials The
Behring sea negotiations, though more
bly, conducted than any other, ended
in total collapse. Having brought
Lord Salisbury to the point of signin J
satisfactory treaty, Mr.. Bayard al,
lowed him to escape, and during the
last year of his term was unable to in
duce the British premier SO much as to
consider the question again. The At
lantic fisheries dispute was absolutely
the only foreign issue conducted by the
Cleveland government, and that was
done only by the abject surrender of
every interest which it was worth our
while to guard. 1t is fair to say of Mr..
Cleveland's administration that it is to
be remembered for nothing except It's
war on the union veterans, its pam
electric scandal, its complete absorp-
ton of the civil service and its half
Matched Mills hill.
That was the government of mega
ton. To it succeeded a government of
purpose and action. Each of the ques-
tions with which, Mr. Cleveland and his
party tinkered so desperately was
finally referred to President Harrison
and the republican party for settle
ment. In six months the Samoan
question was adjusted by p treaty in
which Germany withdrew her preten-
sions, Malietoa was restored to his
throne and American interests were
safeguarded The tariff lfsue was re-
solved into an act which reduced the
revenues, increased the volume IT for
eign trade and created new industl cs
by the score. At the same time the
administration of the customs laws was
simplifed and strengthened The sill
yer issue was met by the passage of a
law that has given monetary use to the
entire American product of silver,
avoided all the dangers of free coinage,
and provided form of paper circula-
ton better secured than any paper
money ever issued by the federal gov
ernment. A long step has been taken
toward the revival of the American
merchant marine by the enactment of
law under which fair mail pay will
be provided for American steamships
engaged in the foreign trade The
Behring sea trouble has been, or soon
will be, turned over to arbitrators.
The wholesomeness of American pork
has been vindicated, and of all of these
difficult problems not one remains ex-
cept the Atlantic fisheries. Our inter
est in them was so compromised by
Mr.. Bayard's ill-judged modus vivend,
that the way to the settlement of that
difficulty seems to be, for the present,
effectually blocked.
These facts well describe the two
parties. The republican party faces
issues and effectually deals with them,
and its capacity has never been more
clearly or better shown than during
the presidency of Gen. Harrison. The
democratic party has never done any
thing else than furnish proof of the
truth of the charge urged against it by
George William Curtis in 1884, that it
is without single definite principle,
without a policy that 1T dare avow.' -

The Workingmen's Condition Improved
Through Republican Legislation.

The W0rkingmen'S Condition Improved
Through Republican Legislation.
The democratic orators are fond OF
saying this year that the Mckinley law
has not increased the wages of the
workingnen. They ask to be informed
what reason the mechanics and labor
ers have to favor measure that does
not --use employers to pay any more
for their services. This is hardly a
fair way of stating the case, but the
question can be answered, neverthe-
less. in such manner as to vindicate
the law and prove that it deserves the
support of those who labor for wages
in every branch of industry. 1t is a
well-known fact that all the necessaries
of life are cheaper this year than they
were last year. In the case of some of
them-sugar, for example-the decrease
is marked and unprecedented. The
general list of prices is materially
lover, and the expense of living is
lcssened, of course, to that extent.
This signifies that the purchasing
power of wages has been increased.
The laborer is getting more than he
got last year, because the amount
which he receives will buy more of the
things that he wants. 1t is easy to
understand that this is in effect an in
crease of wages. Every man en-
ployed in the different avenues of pro-
duction is doing better than he did last
year, and the source of this improve
ment is the Mckinley law, which
I. @I1 % l,yv.p oh fa-
per cent.
There has not been a reduction of
wages in any branch of industry since
the Mckinley law was enacted. All
classes of workingmen are being paid
as many dollars per week or month as
they were before the passage of that
act. and those dollars will procure ten
per cent. more of any of the articles of
common consumption. Is not this
equivalent to an advance of ten per
cent in their wages? They are just as
much benefited as if such an addition
had been directly made to the amount
that the employer pays them. The eff
feet is the same, and they are intel
ligent enough to see it. No man can
make them believe that law which
diminishes the cost of living is not an
adnira BILE and salutary one. They know
that they can purchase more groceries
or more clothing with a given sum of
money than they could before, and
.hat they are indie bted for this advan-
tagc to the new tariff law. If the
democratic party could have had its
way, that law would not have been
passed: the republicans furnished all
the votes in its favor. The same is to
be said of the new silver law, which
has also helped to augment the pur-
chasing power of the money received
for labor These two laws have done
more for the working,nen than any
other two laws of the last twenty
years If they have not made wages
higher in the strict sense of the express
sion, they have virtually performed
that service, and the gain to those con-
cerned is positive and tangible. There
Is an increase of profit to the labor ele-
ment, in short, and that is the point of
