The New York turban is more like the
one figured; that is, IL is not In any con-
ventional sense a turban at all. Pale fawn-
colored felt was the material Of the origi-
nal, turned up with rich, reddish Cleo
patra brown. Reddish brown and black
were mingled in the plumes.
The Providence turban has not as yet
taken sides irrevocably with either fac
tion. There Is pretty one In a window
on Westminster street. IL Is pale tan
colored felt turned up with green. Through
the bow on one side are run two quill
feathers, one gold-colored, the other pale
pink shading into green.

Table Decorations.

Smiling faces are the best adornment,
and yet an old fashioned blue and white
tea pot filed with white asters does not go
badly. A quaint silver vase makes good
centre piece overhowing with goldenrod.
The newest fancy in sugar bowls is one
made double, TO hold both loaf and pow
dered sugar. Cheese plates are shown,
long and narrow, resembling small plat
ters in blue and white china A new
cream pitcher Is decorated in basket work
about the bottom; this is painted faint
creamy tint, and above are tiny autumn
leaves. Fine olive dishes are OF cut-glass,
shallow and oval, with a shell-like border.

which directly charges and clearly shows
that jurors were bribed; which charges
and showing the grand jury sustain by q
number of indictments.
This answers the prior claim that if JUS
tice was not done .'the Italians were not
to blame" and that they were in the
hands of the court and altogether at its
mercy" Not even from the most per-
verse critic would these deductions be toll
cradle. The report is worthless for any
purpose, and only open to criticism as a
shameless perversion of facts, If it does
not show that these men or their asso-
ciates in an organization of banded assas-
sins were to blame that justice miscarried,
and that they were not in any degree at
the mercy of the court, but by systematic
bribery set court, law and justice at de-
fance.
In the same spirit and with like disre-
gard of reason the Colonit holds the
bribed jurors alone guilty and deserving
of punishment, while it reprobates the
punishment of those in whose behalf the
bribing was done, and whose acquittal by
such means put law and justice to shame.
The grand jury could not recall or remedy
the means by which justice, thus outraged,
had been INDICATED, but has addressed
itself to the only practicable task of pun
ishing the bribers and bribe-takers. And
thereat the Victoria paper affects horror.

negie puts no restriction on his right TO
distribute as he will. But it does not fol-
low that the benefciaries are also entitled
to equal credit for his business capacity,
self-deniaI and other high qualities. They
may be distinctly and conspicuousiy lack
ing in all of these, but they are distinctly
under obligations to government and law
for the protection to property OF which
they are to enjoy the benefits which they
may not necessarily merit.
In such cases it may be assumed that
whatever they inherit has been unearned
by themselves. The reservation of por-
ton to the state deprives them Of nothing
which is due TO their own industry. fru-
gality or capacity. The state only takes a
portion Of that which by government and
law it has protected and preserved for
their use. 1t IS the only form of taxation
which takes no part of their own earnings
or savings from the persons taxed. But
Carnegie's idea goes farther than this, and
assumes that this process would in
measure remove the incentive to amass
and retain vast accommodations, and would
induce the course that he IS pursuing, OF
dispensing while living such bounties as
il is desired to confer.

conceive such a result OF hostile encounter,
but its bare possibiityagain emphasizes our great
need Of an adequate navy and system OF ample

foundation for a frst-class navy. We should
not delay completing the structure. In this
patriotic and necessary plan, Republicans and
Democrats will agree, and there should be no
factious opposition on the part OF minority OF
either party in congress TO delay the prosecution
OF this plan. The navy department has already
outlined the proposed building up OF the navy
The present administration has made an excel

will be largely Democratic, viii be liberal IN ap-

And we trust that II such a disposition is mani
tested there VIII be no word OF opposition. but

CARNEGIE's IDEA.

Andrew Carnegie. who is self-made
and an extremely wealthy man, is a
devotee to the idea that those who have
been favored of fortune as he has should
disburse during their lives such portions
of their wealth as they are disposed to
bestow in acts of benevolence or for the
public benefit. And he favors legislation
calculated TO exert an influence in this
direction. As the best and most practical
means 10 this end he advocates gradu-
ated tax upon inheritances.
Among English-speskingp peoples no idea
10 more firmly fixed-there is none which
ii would be harder 20 uproot-than that a
man should be left free TO dispose in his
own way.of his accommodations, which
are presumptively his own earnings and
savings. Bat the Carnegie idea does not
conflict with this TO the extent nor so
radically as at first blush would appear.
Already in many states there is limita-
fion on the proportion OF his estate that a
man may divert from his direct heirs and
hequeath to institutions OF learning,
charity or otherwise TO public or quasi
public uses. In some states not more
than one-third of an estate can be thus
diverted.
The Carnegie idea is no greater depart
ure than this is from the principle that q
man should be free to dispose of his own.
His industry, tact and fragality in scquir-
Ing and saving are still respected. Car

CANADIAN PREJUDICE.

That the prejudice of a certain class of
Canadians against this country and its
people is narrower and more intense than
is entertained in the mother country, has
been significantly evidenced by recent
criticism in the Victoria ColoRist of the
late report Of the New Orleans grand Jury
on the Malta massacre, as compared with
the criticisms of the same report made by
the leading newspapers of London.
The latter were broad, fair, and many of
them were liberal. The Colonist's stric-
lures are narrow, jaundiced, and at the
most material points in direct conflict
with the letter and substance of the criti-
cised report. For instance, ostensibly as
deduction from reading of the report,
the Victoria paper says: at is evident
that if justice has not been done, the Ital-
ians are not to blame. They are in the
hands of the court, and altogether at it's
mercy. The court was quite as competent
10 find them guilty as il was to acquit
them"
Nothing could be more widely at var
lance with the clear and explicit state
ments of the report than are these deduc-
tions. And the ColoaiSt fails 10 draw the
distinction between court" and Jury"
which might have the excuse of ignorance
or unfamiliarity appearing in newspaper
Of Asia or continental Europe. but not in
England or her colonies. The report I'M
eauivocally shows that "the court" TO the
fullest extent possible for any court in this
country. England or the Dominion. did
''fnd them guilty.; that is, the charge
and all of the rulings pointed unmistak-
ably in that direction, as did the evidence.
But in spite Of evidence, rulings and
charge, the jury acquitted. Such being
the case, no court in any country that has
drawn its laws and procedure from English
stock, would have been quite rs compe-
tent" or at all competent, ito find them
guilty as to acquit them" But departing
from its theory that the court might have
convicted, the Coloaist says: Judging by
the feeling Of the community. the jury
would be predisposed to condemn the
men" 1T might be supposed
that the jury would not be favorably dis
posed towards them"

ANNEXED SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

One of the results of the annexation of
territory by Seattle is to take within its
limits several new school districts. Sal
mon Bay, Ross, Fremont, Latona and
Green Lake districts are all affected
by the change, and as there are
fifteen directors involved considerable
interest has been manifested as to their
status in the new order of things. The
point seems to be fully covered In the
annual report of Mr.. r. B. Bryan, the
superintendent of public instruction, who
gives, in his synopsis of opinions rendered
by the attorney general bearing on school
matters, the following:
When cities, in extending their limits, take in
other districts or parts of districts, and in so
doing take in part or all OF the school district
officers of such included school districts, the
officers taken into the city district do not be-
come part of the board of directors of the city
districts so extending their limits.
The future amalgamation of the annexed
districts with the municipal district may be
called forby new necessities, but at pres
ent there will be no disturbance of the sys-
tenn.

Referring to the late Madrid dispatch
which stated that only half the duty was
to be taken off American -four destined for
the Cuban market. the Chicago Tribune
says that this is because congress only
gave Mr.. Blaine one-half the power he
asked for IS means of obtaining recipro-
should be continued against the sugar pro-
ducing countries until fair reciprocal ar
rangements had been effected, and that
then the whole duty should be taken off,
subject to reimposition on failure or re-
fusal of such country to reciprocate. In
such case, the Tribune thinks, Spain would
have had to choose between removal of the
whole duty or the loss of Cuba.

DUPLICATE LEGISLATIVE BLUM
DERS.

Tennessee would appear to be fine field
for competent missionaries in the law
making line. The legislature of two years
ago attempted to amend the election laws,
but did it in such laundering way as to
repeal the old law by the passage of one
that would have been imperative, and had
to be convened in extra session to make
correction of it's egregious errors.
With this example before it the legisla-
ture recently adjourned made even a worse
blunder in the same connection, and an
other extra session or no valid election
seems inevitable. In attempting to pass a
modification of the Australian ballot law,
they aimed to provide for registration in
counties having a population of fifty
thousand or more" But by blunder
either in the original bill, or in the en-
grossment or enrolment, it was made
to apply only in counties having
a voting population "of fifty thousand or
more" And now the Solons have adj
journed and returned to their homes to
find that there is not county in the state
which has the required voting population.
1t cannot be set aside for demonstrations
atty, but will be effective to invalidate all
the election laws in the state including
the so-called "Dortch Secret-Ballot law"
which it aimed to modify, as that law for
bids a man to vote without registration
and the presentation of his certificate.
Consequently the governor will be COM
nelled tn call another extra session for tn
correction of blunders exactly similar to
those that compelled call Of the last ex-
ira session
