PANAMA HATS.

The Genuine Art Gle and Some of the
limitations.
Panama hats are so named from the
circumstance of their being shipped
from the port of Panama. They are
manufactured in Ecuador and the
neigh boring states. The material used
is the fiber of the leaf of the screw
pine, which is related to the palms. 1t
grows only on the slopes of the Andes.
The tree is described as having no
trunk. The leaves are on slender stems
that spring from the ground. They
are about two feet long, fan-shaped,
and four-parted. Each of the segments
is ten-cleft, SO that when the leaf is
folded, as in the bud, there are eighty
layers.
The fiber of these leaves is finely
plated, and each hat consists of a sin
gle piece of work. The plating of the
hats is slow and tiresome process.
Coarse hats may be finished in two or
three days, but fine ones take as man,
months. The work is Begin at the
crown and finished at the brim. The
hat is made on a block, which is placed
on the knees, which has to be constant
~ pressed with the breast
About two hundred thousand dozen
of these hats are made everv wear.
The price varies according to the firm
ness of the material and the quality of
the work. They are valued at from five
to one hundred dollars.
Panama hats are much priced for
wear in the tropics, because of their
lightness and aexibility. They may be
rolled up and put into the pocket
without injury. In the rainy season
they are apt to get black, but by wash
ing them with soap and water, treating
them with lime juice or any similar
acid, and exposing them to the sun.
their wilderness is easily restored.
In Australia there is manufactured a
hat which is said to resemble the Pan
anna hat very closely. It is made from
the unexpanded leaves of a native
plant, which are immersed in boiling
water, and then dried. The fiber OBJ
tanned by this treatment is plated as in
South America.
Under the name of "Chattahs," q kind
of umbrella hat or sunshade is made in
India of the leaves of palm or of the
plantain leaf. Chattahs are worn bv
the plowmen, cowkeepers and coolies of
Bengal and Assam-Youth's Comnan-
ion.

The Decay Of American Manhood

1t cannot be denied That symptoms
are appearing in our public and private
life of decay in the character of our peO-
pie. The question is: Are they the re-
suits of the influence of immigrants, or
of other causes which corrupt the native
born citizen as we'll as the immigrants?
The tendency toward the Capitalization
of wealth and power is the most char
acteristic symptom that has appeared
in the development of our public and
economic life during the last thirty
years. It has undermined the self-reli-
apce of our citizens and induced them
to look to the government as paternal
power for help aud assistance. It has in
duced them to engage in a vile chase for
success, irrespeGtiVe of prfnciple or vir-
tue. 1t has beguiled them into Rping
foreign customs and habits. 1t has
made them forget that American citi-
zenship is the highest type and has
caused them so far to lose their self-re-
spect that they Importing our ministers
in Europe for introductiOns at court,
and consider it their greatest ambition
to splurge in all sorts OF extravagances.
This degeneration certainly cannot be
traced to the influence of Immigration.
A dozen titled adVenturerS coming over
here from Europe, who are introduced
into the best circles, who turn the heads
of the bellies of society and who induce
our "dudes" to immttate their snobbiSh
fOllies, contribute more to corrupt the
habits and customs of the best classes
of our people, who consider themselves
pre-eminently American, than million
OF poor immigrants.-TIhe Forum.

JOHN II. MCDOWELL,
THE WOULD-BE MARTYR!
. His PuriIe Plea for "Pity."
What lie Says for Himself, and What
Other People Say About Him.

The Americas oflast Thursday week,
as mentioned I'm our last issue, devoted
more than a page of its space To an OK
pose of the political past OF Iohh hehL
Tennessee's Democratic Governor, the
President of Farmers and Laborers'
Alliance, and the all-round Moses OF the
dOwn-trodden people OF Tennessee'
The manner of the expose was care
fully prepared and we have no DOUBT
was accurate. A thoroughly reliable
representative Of the Amertcan was
sent to Arkansas to inquire of Mr.. NC
DOWell's past. He was sent To learn
the truth, andinstructed To get his IN
formation from responsible parties VINO
lived in the county with Mr.. Mcdowell
at the time he was making his record
The representative of the AmeTtcoH
trusted nothing to his memory; he
brought back with him thlrty-seVeh
statements signed by the men VINO
made them. 10 disbelIeve them Is 10
discredit some of the leading citizens oil
Arkansas; to diSprOVe them Is 10 ulS-
prove the testimony of the leading
citizens of an entire county.
These statements, If true, (and so lar
the witnesses, with the exception OF
Mcdowell, are all on one side,) convict
him of eating and drinking and voting
with negroes and being deputy under
a negro clerk, and of running for ofhce
and being elected as n Republican
nominee. This is enough to damn a
with his life. But to be the part of the
life OF a man who poses as political re-
former, an ersTwhile prohibitlonist
leader, the self constituted leader OF the
yoemanry of the country, ana man
who has repeatedly declared that never
in his life had he been anything but a
Democrat, gives the last touch OF the
pencil to the BLACKLIST picture IN the
galaxy of Tennessee's public men.
The 4 BlericdlL makes these charges
and offers the proof. 1t not only makes
the charges, but challenges Mr.. Nc
DOweu to the issue. 1t reminds the
gentleman that they have been advised
that their charges are "actionable" and
notifies him that they are willing, nay
anxious, for him to sue the Papel lol
libel.
Last Friday, the day after the charges
were preferred, the following appeared
in the 4 0IerieGH. -,
