When Hoops First Came In.

1t was in the very early portion of the
Eighteenth century that the hoop petticoat
came in. The skirts were not quilted, but
there was a kind of panier drapery at
tached to a train, the bodice pointed, the
elbow sleeves ruffed. In 1909 we read of a
black silk petticoat having red and white
calico border; cherry colored stays, trimmed
with blue and silver; red and dove col
ored damask gown, lowered with large
trees, a yellow satin apron, trimmed with
white Persian silk The quilted petticoat
and lowered over-gown dates from about
1870 to 1895, when Mr.. Pitt brought in the
powder tax, which sent powder out of fash
ion. Hair powdering came into extensive
use with the introduction of the huge peri
wig at the Restoration. Hoops and sacks
were worn in George rs reign-viz., 17l4-
Ireland it was in George IFS time-1727-
176O-that the mock pastoral fashions were
introduced, and men and women dressed
as shepherds and sheperdesses.-Ardern

cLEVELAND'S ADVANTAGE

The anxiety of the Democracy for
1s92-that is TO say OF the fuglemen OF
that party-is more intense right now
than it will be probably later on,
though the groundlings are ever hope.
full, sanguine, in fact, until the re-
turns are in. That is the one good
thing about Democrats, they never
know when they are beaten. They re-
fuse TO read the signs Of the times,
and go into their political battles
much as did the bull that tried to
butt an engine of Of a bridge, and
with much the same judgment. Hill,
some of them declare, is the man for
their nominee next year. and the moss
backs Of the party hang to Cleveland
as the moss Of their party does to
them. Then another element tells
you on the sly that German will
be the candidate, while in every
NOOK Of the country some ambitious
old fossil is exposing himself where he
thinks the convention lightning will
strike him.
The mass Of the party, however, in
reality would like to have some new
blood, and the trouble is that it is not
TO be obtained. The old barnacles
are forever in the way and won't let
go, while none Of the new men thrown
up by the late political upheaval, and
tidal wave-which, by the way, has
already receded-not one has shown
qualities Of leadership. Pattson
failed to distinguish himself while
governor Of Pennsylvania before, and
his reelection was brought about
solely by Republican detection. His
administration has fallen short Of
being what would be expected from a
man who had in him the stuff out Of
which presidents are made. In Ohio,
Governor Campbell is unfortunate 10
possessing a quarrelsome disposition,
and is always at war with his own
party, besides he has been anything
bnt a good governor. If Ohio was not
an important state, the average man
outside of It could scarcely tell the
governors name.
Iowa is not fayorably situated to Sc
cure presidential candidate, add
TO this the fact that Boies has not
shown any special characteristics of a
great man and as a presidential posi-
bility he can not be considered. In
Massachusetts, Governor Russell owes
his popularity TO the accident of cleo
tion, and IL is not thought that he can
ever be reelected. The governor of
Michigan is not seriously discussed,
neither is Governor Peck Of Wiscon-
sin.
These are Republican states now
having Democratic governors. and In
not a single instance can superior ele-
'ments of craftsmanship be claimed.
The efforts OF the party leaders To
have new men will prove futile be-
cause there is no young man big

Ouilter for Sewing Machines.

A very useful addition to the sewing ma
chine has appeared in the shape of quilt
ing frame This device can be easily ad-
justed to hold quilt in convenient position
for being worked on, and so that it can be

such arrangement in connection with a

all sizes of machines, and for the quilting
of any desired pattern.-New York Com

CHINESE IN BLAINE

Elsewhere in these columns a letter
from citizens Of Blaine is published
defending the employment of Chinese
in the cannery at that place. The
reasons given for employing the Chi
nese are not sufficient. Whatcom
county takes much pride in being the
only county in the state that has not a
Chinaman within her borders, and the
men who built the cannery knew that
before they built, and they also knew
Of the well-grOunded feeling against
the employment of the rat-eating
heather in this region. 1t is unneces-
sary to recapitulate the arguments
against the employment Of Chinese;
their indisposition to assimilate the
manners and customs of our people;
their working at lower wages than
white laborers and their stingy con-
sumption of what our people produce
and have for sale; their vices and al
together undesirable contact; they are
not wanted and the men Of Blaine who
propose to employ them know as well
as they know night from day that
99-10Oths of the people of this
county-to say the least-are opposed
to Chinese within the county for
any purpose. To men who
have any respect for the opinions and
wishes of their fellow citizens this
ought to be enough. If, however, the
desire to hire lot of those heather
because their labor can be more
cheaply obtained oyerrides respect for
the opinions Of all the other people in
the county, then there is some argu-
ment in employing the Chinese, so far
as the Blaine men are concerned. But
the reasons are very selfish and unpa-
triotic reasons. However, this cOun-
try is 50 very free that any man has a
perfect right to be as selfish as he
may desire, and he has also the right
to entertain no regard for the opinions
of his nelghbors; but it is exceedingly
doubtful if he has a right to import
an element that menaces the public
peace by superinducing a riot, as the
importation Of Chinese to this county
is certain to do sooner or later.
As to the matter of employing %
Cinnamon out Of 200 employees, that
is no argument in favor of the twenty
five. Just as well, under the circum-
stances, employ Cinnamon for the en-
tire force. The HERALD has no dis
position TO intermeddle with the pri-
vate affairs Of any man, men or com
| pany, but this is a matter Of public
business and interest The cannery
is a private affair, the impOrta-
tion of Chinese into the coun-
ty under existing circumstances
is public affair. Besides,
the persons who write the HERALD,
as in the letter published, attempt
indirectly, to make the HERALD their
partisan in the matter. We extend
to them the courtesy of publication OF
their communication, we exercise
our right to comment upon the situa
tion it discusses.
The letter is signed MANY Citizen,
Of Blaine" and is doubtless endorsed
by many citizens of Blaine who ar,
interested in the cannery, but we will
venture that other citizens of Blaine
ten to one, to say the least, are op
; posed to the importation of tn
Chinese. Mr.. Drysdale and his asso
J cates should reconsider their de
termination, and act otherwise thai
as they now propose.

horny-handed political farmers, who

Guatemala raises cacti, small revo-
buttons and monkeys and it wants to
annex. 1t would be difficult for the
United States to find any special use
for the cacti and revolutions, but the
monkeys could be utilized to replace
the anglomaniac dudes of the country
at some early date-that is, if it were
considered worth while to replace
them. which it wouldn't be; hence
none OF the products of Guatemala
seem to be available.
