costume Of the day, unless one counts
the curious eccentricities in veils, from
which Newport no more than the rest
OF the summer world can claim immuni-
ty. Swathed in white tulle, the girls
go about as If they had strayed from q
Constantinople harem; tho transparent,
enveloping folds come to their hips and
blow with their neverfailing ribbon
streamers in the wind.
AT the concerts the veiled maidens
sit with certain air of remoteness
about them; supposed, 1 fancy, to
awaken interest or pique curiosity.
There was one lily girl in white, white
directory hat with broad crown and
high white bows; white face, fair and
delicate, with the faintest flush of color;
white lowered muslin dress with white
ribbon sash and low white shoes and
full white veil which you might call a
tent, or, if you felt poetic, mist shut
ting all these various whitenesscs under
cover.
Another rendezvous for smart cos
TUNES of different sort is the hunt Of
the anise bag, which doesn't seem worth
the trouble of chasing, but which serves
as well as another excuse, perhaps, to
bring out the fact that Newport has
greatly relaxed the old-tim ri0or of the
riding costume. You don't need to go
to the meet to discover that, though,
for almost any morning if you look I'D
from under the cale along the ocean
drive, where you have been reading or
dreaming, as the clatter of hoofs draws
near you will see a young woman on q
chestnut mare and wearing a royal
blue habit bound with barrow gold
braid. Her blue sailor hat Is trimmed
with white and gold ribbons. This Is

Where will you meet the prettiesA

Mrs. William c. Whitney had pretty
group about her this morning, her slim
young daughter being not It's least at
tractive component feature. Her blue
and white lawn frock had three In
fnitesirnal blue ribbon ruches at it's
foot and about her shoulders was fold
ed white Marie Antoinette hchu, It's
ends crossed in front and tied In q loose
knot at the waist behind. Her sleeves
came just to the elbows and were fin
ished with lace frills, and her pictur-
esquc cottage bonnet with It's flaring
poke brim had q muslin scarf twisted
around It's crown and tied below the
chin In long streamers. The quaint
rocco costume was eminently suitable
to the place and occasion, and proved as
successful as Mr.. Whitney.s recent po-
litical plannings.-
Miss Whitney, who will be out next
winter, but who seems to enjoy riding
about with her brother Harold In q
smart new red and green imported turn

thrown about her shoulders and draped
in soft folds to her waist, one long
fringed end hanging nearly to the

THE Democratic party and the

THE Democratic party and the Uni
ted States Supreme court have dis
agreed on good many subjects, and
will probably disagree on good many
more, in fact they disagree upon an
important one just now. The Demo
Gratis in their platform declare that
''the federal government has no con-
stitutional power to enforce and col
lect tariff duties except for the pur-
pose of revenue only" Still the SUI
preme court has decided that the Nc

pie will place full as much confidence
in the opinion of the highest court in
the land, as in that of a party which
declares itself in favor of legislation
that will be more to the interest OF
the people of foreign nations than OF
our own. The opinion of the court is
law. The opinion of the party is
merely personal affair.

II has been charged by some that
the silver plank of the Democratic
platform was capable of being read
both ways-that is, that it meant
honest money or free silver, just as
one might feel about the matter, and
it seems that Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, is proving this accusation to be
true. He says there is nothing in the
Stewart free silver coinage bill that
is inconsistent with the Democratic
platform. In regard to it he says:
GAS matter of fact the silver bill is
in direct line with the Democratic
platform. The latter denounces the
Sherman law of 1890, and the propos-
ed silver bill repeats it. Then the
platform declares for an equality be-
tween gold and silver, and this is the
legislation desired by the Stewart
bill" On the other hand Congress
man Harter, of Ohio, says the House
cannot afford to pass the bill because
it repudiates the Chicago platform.
However, platform utterances mean
little with the Democratic party, and
the free silver representatives of that
party in the House will not be likely
to allow such matter to stand be-
tween them and their desires.

SENATOR HILL is reported to have
said that 1.-THE tariff plank Of the
platform adopted at Chicago has
made every workshop and factory in
the United States Republican cam
paign headquarters. The senator is
undoubtedly correct in this. Every
man who has money invested in the
industries of this country will hardly
be in favor of closing them up, as
they would be obliged to should the
Democratic policy be carried into eff
feet. And every workman who re-
ceives employment from these indus
tries will prefer to have the wages he
now receives, continued, rather than
have them cut down to the level of
the foreign workman. Senator Hill
and his associates will find thaG Re-
publican headquarters will spring up
in every nook and corner of the north
and west as result of the tariff plank
of the Chicago platform, and the
portly candidate who stands upon it,.

ION THE VERGE OF RUIN"

Those who expected something
practical to come from the Omaha
convention must be considerably dis
appointed with the outcome. The
platform is a calamity howl from the
beginning. 1t starts with the same
statement which Donnelly had in
corporated into the St. Louis plat
form. that they inject in the midst
of nation brought to the verge of
moral, political and material ruin"
1t is a remarkable fact that the decla-
rations which follow are of a nature
which, if carried into effect, would
do more to plunge the nation into
the chaos they claim we are upon the
verge Of, than any one thing. From
a government of the many it would
in short time convert our nation
into a government of few. No
doubt the leaders and followers of
that movement will protest Mat
such is not the case, yet such an event
would follow the carrying into effect
of their declarations as surely as
darkness follows the light. 1t would
centralize in Washington power
hitherto undreamed of in this coun-
try. 1t would simply be the enter
ing wedge of the naturalization of
the affairs of this country, and the
sinking of indiyidualism. The af-
fairs of the general government with
the thousands Of officers at its dispo-
sal, are now held up as great source
of evil, but they would augment it by
putting at the disposal Of the ap-
pointive power thousands of more
places to be filed.
But, while the platform utterance
is of such a nature as will not inspire
confidence among the intelligent
masses, the matter was not improved
by the nomination of Gen. Weaver.
He represents all that is dangerous
in the financial situation of the ma
tiOn. He is a cheap money advocate
in the full sense which that term i'm
plies. In fact. he may well be termed
an anarchist in finance. There is no
fad in the cheap money line which
has not an attraction for him. Could
he have his own way he would wreck
our national prosperity by destroying
the sound foundation upon which the
finances of this country rest, and
plunge the country headlong into
that ruin which the platform he
stands upon declares we are upon the
verge of. He fits well the platform
upon which he stands, and together
they will go down into history as an
Illustration of the strange freaks that
will sometimes seize upon the minds
of men.

San in swinging around to the sup

our liberties by the force bill. OF
course Mr.. Dana is welcome to his
choice, but it is somewhat curious
what effect diseased imagination
will have upon ones course in life, as
is witnessed by the Sun editors raw

..AGLE LAKE.

When a good thing takes place up
in these parts, feel like reporting it
for the benefit of those who did it,,
and for the rest of the world. Eagle
Lake out-did itself on the Fourth. A
splendid day, grand parade, and most
eloquent addresses by L. L. Wheel
ock, of Owatonna. and the Rev f.
Brown, of Eagle Lake. Under such
leadership as Mr.. L. Cumming, mar
shall, Mr.. H. Cumming, master of
ceremonies, Mr.. J. J. Haggard, gener-
al manager, everything had to work
well. But too much credit cannot be
given Messrs. Morris and Mines for
their excellent management of the
fire works in the evening. Only one
thing during the whole day to mar it's
pleasure was the burning of Mr.. Hag-
CARDS hand by the explosion of a
rocket. Everything about the bowery
was pleasantly arranged, and the
finest order was maintained during
the whole day and evening. The
horse PEDRO" owned by the Ewings
boys took first money in running and
horse owned by Mr.. Baxter, first in
trotting.
The ladies served the ice cream for
the benefit of their pastor, Mr.. Brown
and cleared some sixteen dollars.
If [ had the ability and time I
would like to report Mr.. Wheelock's
address in full. He is good one for
any occasion and any where. Well,
here's three cheers for Eagle Lake, the
town without saloon. 1t has three
