summer girl to her chum, or best girl
friend. These hammocks are positive lux
uries, to those ladies compelled to remain in
the city. They are of gray, or soft tinted
blue, with valance at each side of some har
monizing material, and do not detract at all
from the appearance of the room. They are
ever so much cooler for an afternoon or
evening nap than the finest upholstered
lounge.
In summer ladies who use powder gener-
ally wipe their faces when heated instead
of rubbing them. This is great mistake.
To apply powder properly, in the hot
weather, the face should be slightly damp
ened and the powder put on deftly. Ali

baby brush which, when passed over the
face, takes off the particles which cling
about the corners of the mouth, nose and to
the eye brows and eye lashes. In taking
the all prevailing powder puff in the pocket
it should be remembered that the puff must
be ''dabbed" on the face and not rubbed.
There is decided difference in the applica-
tion.

into allowance Nevertheless, the matter
keeps cropping up again, and having once
obtained hold on the public mind, it is by
no means improbable that the custom of
ladies riding astride will become estab-
ished, even among our civilized selves.
The proposed alteration in the feminine
riders position on horseback is mainly
based on the considerations of health and
safety, says the Season. From far-away old
times comes to us legend of the Amazons,
whose Queen, Hippolyte, vanquished Her
cules, and as the splendid statue by
Kiss shows us, the victorious heroine
sat astride her horse. We find the
same equestrian position always taken
by the women of half civilized nations, the
Indians, the Kirghese, the Tartars, ETC.,
and 1t only seems strange to our unac-
customed eyes. The Mexicans too, as well
as the inhabitants of Albania, BONANZA and
remote Austrian provinces find nothing
strange or remarkable in their women al
ways riding in masculine fashion. Even in
Germany il was the general custom, until
about the twelfth century, Anna of Luxem-
burg, wife of Richard l, introduced the
English side saddle which with all its
faults, has, with but slight exception been
subsequently, used by ladies.

OBJECTS TO CHICAGO.

The President has let it be known by the
bosses who control in such matters that
he is opposed to Chicago as the place for
holding the next Republican national con-
vention. Those nearest TO HARRISON say
that this objection is due to the fact that
Chicago Republicans are entirely too en-
thusiastic for BLAINE to please the gentle
man from Indiana. The line of reasoning
is that if the convention were held in the
windy city, the local managers of the
hippodrome would so arrange matters that
BLAINE would be nominated with a whiz,
HARRISON being lost sight of entirely. b.
H. may be entirely logical and far sighted
in this matter, but for goodness sake
wont somebody name a city where the
grandfather of his grandson excites any
sort Of enthusiasm? If there were such q
city within the confines Of the republic one
might naturally think it would be Indian
apolis, BENJY's home town, and for whose
Republican citizens he has done SO much
in the way of providing them with fed eral
offices during the past thirty months; and
yet the other day the voters of that
city repudiated HARRISON and Republican
ism to the extent Of several hundred ma
jority. If the President is going to insist
upon the holding of the convention at some
place where he has the advantage we ap,
prehend he will have to call it in the White
House, and exclude the public, when the
spectators may be counted upon to applaud
the mention OF the name of B. H.

NO RECIPROCITY THERE.

A great deal of gold has been brought in
to this country since harvest to pay for the
extraordinary exports which the failure OF
foreign fields has necessitated But the
producers of these crops would have been
great deal better satisfied if they could
have taken the money, gone into European
markets aud purchased the clothes, hard
ware, utensils, ETC., which they need at
home, bringing them here without having TO
pay duty half as great as the cost of the
goods. When the MCKINLEY tariff bill was
before the House, Hon. r. P. BLAND, of
Missouri, one of the ablest mem
bers of that body, and q faithful
and fearless representative of western in
terests, offered an amendment to permit
foreign goods bought with the products Of
American farms to be imported into this
country free of duty-that is without pay
Ing the penalty now exacted Of them, and
which averages about so per cent on the
foreign price. The amendment was fair
and reasonable, and justice to our western
and southern farmers and planters de-
manded that it should be adopted, but the
high tariff Republican majority voted it
down. II was the same way in the Senate.
Mr.. VANCE, at one stage of the bill,
offered an amendment, q modih-
cation of the one presented by
Mr.. BLAND, to allow foreign goods
purchased with American farm products
to be imported on payment of onehalf the
regular duties. This was not as good by
half as the original proposition Of the Mis-
souri, member, but it was better than moth
ing; it materially reduced the penalty or
foreign goods bought with our farm pro
duce. OF course the Senate rejected it
The Republican majority in Congress was
not legislating for agriculturists. They
were exhausting their affections and the
favors of the government upon class o:
men located in different section of the
country.

BE FRIENDLY TO SALT LAKE.

Before the Trans Mississippi congress
adjourned it adopted resolution recon-
mending that the Democratic and Repub-
lican national conventions be held in
Omaha next year.
There was time in the history of Omaha
when that resolution would have been
combstted by her own neighbors, Council
Bluffs and Lincoln. The jealousy between
those cities was as intense as it was foolish
No occasion for it ever existed except that
by reason Of natural selection Omaha
forged to the head as the first Of trans
Missouri cities.
1t seems that this feeling is now allayed
that instead of harboring envy and malice
towards Omaha, the other cities, especially
in Nebraska, feel sense of pride in the
energy and grit which rendered her pres
ent proud position feasible; and they all
recognize at last that any benefit tina,
may inure to the metropolis must necessa-
rily reflect to the credit and advantage OF
the rest Of the state
In Colorado this friendly feeling has al.
ways existed. That state always recog-
nized Denver as queen and thereby aided
TO her marvellous growth, which in turn
cast lustre over the entire common
wealth.
Utah's capital-Salt Lake-surpasses
both, Denver and Omaha, in all the essen
tials that give zest to life; and in the course
Of human events it Will be a greater city
than either. There is no reason why
every other city within the territory should
regret or retard this contamination. There
is no room for jealousy and envy, but con-
siderable for cooperation and reciprocity
The destiny Of Salt Lake city is fixed, anC
il cannot be changed except through the
criminal and persistent neglect of her owl
citizens. Against this we must guard. We
don't know, nor do we say, that there il
any deep-seated prejudice against the CAPT
tai in any part Of Utah, but if there is it i
unjust, and will pass away as the naturs
pred ominsnce becomes daily more marked
even as was the case in Omaha.
Salt Lake is friendly to all Utah, an,
al Utah should be friendly to Salt Lake.

AGAIN THAT BLUNDER.

The Trans Mississippi congress has again
made the mistake of adopting resolution
in favor of the amendment of the
coinage law so as to permit the
free coinsge of American silver. 1t would
have been better to have said nothing
about the subject Practically the Ameri-
can product is being turned into money.
Very nearly all the silver produced in the
United States is purchased by the govern
ment for paper dollars which are worth
just as much as gold or silver dollars in
any store or bank in the country. If the
Omaha congress- request were complied
with the siIver-owners would take their
metal TO the mint and get coin for il in
stead of to the treasury: the
only real change would be that
the mine-owners instead of the
government, would pocket the
difference between the bullion price of
silver and the value Of the metal when /,

lating medium would not be increased
The amount of money held by the people
would not be enlarged.

and that discrimination would not be
