front Of plcin air paintings making bold
TO assert that in nature there are no
such colors.
But there are other things to see at
Claremont than windswept heights and
glinting river. There are carriages
driving up and horseback parties COM
ing TO pause. and even when saucy
robins and budding trees demand ones
best attention one has still glance TO
spare for the women in quaint bright
toilets who move this way and that in
the sunshine, each with long stem of
flowers waving like q palm branch in
her hand.
There are men with them, but these
are less interesting, and there are two
or three huge dogs and there are foot
men and coachmen- Laughter comes
ripping out over the grass in widening
circles. and there will be buying of
anemones and cowslips from children
who have been far to get them and
drinking of the mild and uninteresting
beverage, tea.
It il at Clarcmont that one has In
April as good q chance ns any to study
New York's fashionable women. AT
the Claremont tea drinxings tho first
parasols come out, and there is gayety Of
toilet to rival the dandelions- All the
skirts sweep over the hillside and many
of them are flounced to the knees. The
coats open over marvellous bravery OF
waistconts. and the hats blossom like
flower gardens Peacock and sapphire
shades glance out from among salmon
and pink, and there arc quick passing
flashes Of dragon-hy and turquoise and
peach-blow pink and sulphur and deep
crimson and pale nut and delicate
lavender.
Some of the women wear paniers, but
not many. Some have waves of lace
surging up about their throats and
reccding again almost to their feet In
long ripples- A majority, perhaps,
wear little bonnets that are nothing
more than cunningly planted aigrettes,
but large minority wear hats with the
brims turned up grotesquely at the
back and trimmed with morning glories
or dahlias or sweet peas in q daring
variety Of colors.
That young woman In chamois and
emerald green Is one whose name you

The Alliances.

We stated the other dav that the Demo-
cratic leaders in Nottoway had done well
in deciding to countenance no third-party
movement in that county at the approach
ing spring elections. The Blackstone
Courier reproduces our paragraph, and then
says;
"The farmers OF Nottoway have no higher mo-
tive as iliancs men than the success OF the Do
mocracy, as they concede that The Democratic
party Is already controlled IN the Interest OF
he Agricultural classes In fact, the Alliance
In this county is simply an organization OF
farmers for the preservation OF Democrauc
principles ard for the better promoting Demo
Gratis ascsndsnoy. They are animated by ID
deterrni nation to keep the county IN the 'front.'
ranks OF the Democratic columns and 70 assume
control of tho local administration.
WWatch US turn the RAIDS out In the spring"
We shall take pleasure in keeping our
eyes upon good and true men engaged In
work so commendable. We havenever en-
tertained much apprehension that the
farmers alliances could be so manipulated
by the Republican party as TO convert
them into recruiting stations for that par
ty. The Democratic party favors equal and
exact justice to all men. SO do the ALI
ances. The Democratic party Is peculiarly
a farmers party at the same time that 1T
does not antagonize any class of the COM
munity. The same characteristics are
claimed by the alliances, The Democratic
party is the open and avowed advocate Of
the free coinage of silver, So are the ALI
ances. The Democratic party is in favor
of sufficient paper currency to DO
all the business Of the country. If
il should ever become necessary to do oil
that business upon a cash basis, as might
be the case in any time OF panic, an
abundant currency would relieve the striD-
gency of the money market. This cur
rency, however, must not DO fiat money.
1t must be currency as good as silver or
gold-not irredeemable notes payable at
the will of the issuer. The alliances are
friendly to a rather larger volume of cur
rency than the Democrats advocate. but
there need be no division on this point.
Indeed, when we recall the history
of the Republican party we can
not find in that history anything
to indicate that it has ever legislated in the
interest of the people. 1t has studied to
please" but it has studied to please only
the monopollsts and millionaires. Such a
history will not commend that party to the
alliances, whose constant endeavor is to
induce Congress and our State legislative
bodies TO pass laws that will benefit the
men upon whose labors all the rest OF the
people rely even for the bread they eat.
No, we are not afraid that the alliances
will become Republican allies, nor. we
might add, that the majority of them will
countenance the mischief-makers who
would base third party upon that popu-
lar organization.

How the City May Help.

A few years ago, in its anxiety to see our
Mechanics Institute School OF Technology
better established, the City Council pro-
posed to the General Assembly that if the
State would appropriate 100000 to this
purpose the city would appropriate S3O,0O0
The offer was not accepted because the
condition of Virginia's finances did not
permit it. For many years the old Com
monwealth has been in terrible turmoil
about her public debt, and until it is
finally settled she will continue to find
herself compelled to refuse help to many
undertakings which are worthy and which
otherwise would receive from her sub
stantial encouragement. But while we
cannot hope for State aid for some years
TO come, what binders us from helping our
selvesp Why should not our public
spirited citizens come forward and take
the place of the State?
With $4,000 a lot can be bought and q
suitable building erected and furnished,
and this done the Institute will be on the
high road to success.
The general public-especIally the tax
paying people-will be very glad if the
City Council will find way to help the
Institute in this matter. All of the money
will not be needed at once.
The Institute so well deserves the conf
dence and support of the community that
we cannot excuse ourselves If we delay
much longer in furnishing it with CON-
modious home of its own.
If the city will give it S3o,0OO-in easy
payments-doubtles 100000 can be raised
by private subscription.

Death OF Mr.. Bancroft.

Hon. GEORGE BANCROFT died in Washing
ton yesterday; aged ninety years. Though
he had been prominent in politics and had
held great offices, it will be as historian
that he will be chiefly remembered.
He was born at Worcester, Mass, studied
at Exeter, N. H., Harvard, Gottingen, and
Heidelberg. His first idea was to enter
the ministry, but this he abandoned, and
his early years were spent in teaching and
writing. He served in the Massachusetts
Legislature: afterwards held the Office Of
Collector Of Customs of Boston; was nomi-
mated in 1914 for Governor of Massachu-
sets. and was defeated. Was Secretary
of the Navy under Mr.. Polk, and gave up
the position to become Minister to Great
Britain. After this he labored with great
assiduity in continuing his history. His
last great public service was as Minister to
Germany, to which post he was appointed
in 1867.
Mr.. BAxcRorr's history entities him to
the fame for which he labored during his
long and industrious life. This must be
said of it, even by those who cannot APP
prove it in oil respects.
The world showered honors upon him,
and numerous great universities conferred
upon him honorary degrees. His last years
we're spent in comfort in Washington, and
his society was much sought both by vo-
taries of literature aud politics.

Could Vice-President MoRros be counted
in order to make up quorum OF the Sen

no vote in virtue Of any regulation OF par
liamentary law IL the Constitution did not
expressly provide that he shall vote when
the senator's are equally divided. The
Same Constitution provides that a majority
OF each house shall constitute quorum to
do business What Is majority of each
house? Or rather. what is each housel

Article l., sections and 8: "The House Of
Representatives shall be composed OF members
chosen every second year by the people OF the

composed of two senators from esch State
