THE REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION
There is a warning to democ "ats of
Florida in the action, or, rather, non
action, of the republican convention
this week.
Their failure to place in nomination
any ticket, either national, state or
congressional, is done, as was boldly
and openly stated ON the floor of the
convention by more than one speaker,
for the purpose of making the demo
Gratis feel 30 sure that they will have
the field to themselves that they will
let factional differences split them,
and result in two democratic tickets
being nominated.
The FLoRIDIAN does not believe
that any such thing will occur, but
it is well to sound the warning. The
democrats Of Florida must work to-
gether as unit for the welfare of the
whole people; they cannot afford to
throw 6re-b lis wrapped with wire at
each other; they must act harmon
iously; they must 60 into the conven-
ton determined to work vigorously
to secure the nomination of the best
and most representative men for
state Offices, bat if their particular
friends fail to win they must accept
the choice of the convention and
work with q will for the election of
the entire ticket-pile up the vote
every democrat going to the polls
and casting his ballot for the demo-
cratic nominees whether there be any
opposition ticket or not.
What the republicans of Florida
hope to gain by their red-hot and
rip-roaring platform, the FLoRID1AN
cannot see. Everybody comedies
that even the devil Is not 80 black as
he is painted. There are hundreds
ofnorthern republicans in Florida to-
day who viii not endorse that plat
form. It will be found in full in this
issue of the FLoRIDIAN. Let them
read it and see if they do. Certainly
the republican capitalists who own
property in Florida, who have invest
ments here, will not relish any such
sensational and far-fetched wall being
SAINT over the wires to be read by the
world at large.
But this is Q presidential campaign

the way of democracy in Great Britain.
A man in sympathy with the masses in
Gladstone's place could make the poor
pretense of moaarchy still prevailing
in England impossible. sBut Gladstone,
AS the ultra-conservative leader of the
Liberal party, checks the spread of DEM
ocratic manifestation far more effect
ually than the Tory party could possi-
bly, do under the most able and expert
leadership.
When it is known in England that
Harrison is reelected and that the
present policy Of protection is to be con-
tinued, there will be a stampede of Eng
lish manufactures to this country and
armies Of English operatives will be de-
prived of employment The more en-
terprising among them will follow their
factories to America. The great body
of them will remain, however, to bat
tie with the conditions that beggared
them. These people will make it evil
dent to the rulers of England that some
other policy than the piracy of the busi-
ness of other nations must be adopted.
Probably they will insist upon England
for Englishmen to use and live in, and
declare against the monopolization of
land for the benefit of the gentry.
Whatever happens in England will
rouse great interest and the most lively
sympathy in this country, but our con-
sciences will be entirely free from re-
proach, because our tariff policy only
operates TO give us back part of what
is our own, but which England had
inequitably seized upon and held.

TAILOR-MADE TO DATE.

A Natty Costume and q Manish Air
Amazed u Car Conductor.
This fall the tailor made girl advanced
to point Of masculine imitation whic h
has never been equalled before. There
have been women, who in their eagerness
to get rid of the hampering Of skirts and
gowns, have gone over to male attire
pronounced and undisguised. But the
women. like the particular case herein
described, have retained the female gar
ments. but have so skllfully managed
them that it would be hard to say Just
why one should call them women's gar
ments.
This woman was first seen and exam
ined in connection with an Elmwood
street car. She was standing, apparently
waiting for the car to stop and let her on.
But before the driver had a chance to
slacken his speed. she swung herself on
to the step in a manly way and stroke in.
To begin at the beginning, she had on a
brown Fedora hat. with the least possible
change of trimming from the style worn
by men, Her hair was combed smoothly
back and fastened In a close coil of small
plaits. AS her face was round and rosy
and her features rather large, the smooth
ness Of her hair gave her a front look in
no way different from the look OF man.
She had on a sacque cut exactly like
mans coat, buttons aud all. Then there
was plaid double-breasted waistcoat
and genuine made-to-order shirt, the
bosom colored, the collar high and stiff
and white She wore four-in-hand tie.
At her wrists were cuffs of the same color
as the bosom OF her shirt. and hanging
so loosely that one could not doubt the
whole shirt was there. In the cuffs were
link buttons. The dress skirt was made
plainly of the same blue material rs the
coat, and was so cut that side view of
it gave one the impression of trousers.
On her feet were pair of narrow pa
tent-leather shoes, cut In the Blucher
fashion, and were patent leather clear to
the tops. This elaborately manly toilet
was perfected by certain most artistic
details, both in the dress and in the
manners of the wearer. For instance,
she had a key chain that came from
pair of suppositious braces under the
waistcoat and after showing itself for
ed in a very manly pocket. On her hands
were pair of dogskin gloves, aud she
carried a tightly rolled mans umbrella
with huge handle.
When the conductor paused opposite
her, she thrust one hand into her pocket,
Just as q man does, aud drew forth a
small handful of Ichapge From the
several coins she slid q hve-cent
piece to the ends of her fingers.
and, with a manly gesture, dropped it
into the outstretched hand of the amazed
conductor Presently she pulled out a
handkerchief, not trivial cobweb, but a
large, mans handkerchief, and wiped her
face with the careless sweep of mascu-
line hand, not afraid OF disturbing cos
metics.

THE EFFECT UPoN ENGLAND.

The election that is quietly progress
ing in this country to-day undoubtedly
means more to England than the cleo
ton she held last July.
Suppose Harrison is elected. The
disintegration of certain lines of manu-
featuring in England will continue.
The industrial distress Will grow more
and more poignant. At last there will
come relief.
How relief will come is another aues-
ton. Ii almost seems inevitable that
it must come through political revolu.
ton.
The workingmen Of England are a
terrible force when aroused and united.
They become aroused when they are be-
reft of bread, and they unite and act in
unison much more readily than do
American workingmen. They are not
so intelligent, and therefore do not con-
slider the phases of the question that
they feel bearing upon them, and they
are not as volatile They arrive at con-
clusions more slowly, but their progress
toward the solution they deem equitable
or advisable is much more resistless.
If the operation of the Mckinley
tariff brings distress to English work
ingmen, Nv it unavoidably must. il is
not impossible to foresee that England
is booked for social and political
upheaval such rs she has not experienced
for many generations.
We are accustomed TO think that the
progress of the English people toward
Democracy is i'm the nature of slow
growth, a gradual transition. But i'm.
innate observers of her institutions and
her life know that at the present time
the great mass Of her people are being
held in check by the thin line of her
aristocracy and the extremely conserva-
tive among her statesmen. The progress
toward Democracy has been almost
wholly stopped. The sentiment that
favOrs Democracy has not, however,
ceased 10 grow and expand among the
people. They are waiting for their OPP
portunity and their prophet.
Despite the great service he has done
for liberalism ia England Mr.. Gladstone

| PROVIDENCE that on the very day when

forward TO another whose preliminary

cipal campaign in motion by nominat-
ing the excellent city ticket which will
soon be elected. Its personnel merits a
word of comment.

for Mayor of the Republican party
should be. Arthur III. Watson meets
in every respect the requirements we
then nlmed. Not too young for mature
judgment and ripe experience, not too
old for energetic action, "a keen, shrewd,
business man, an honorable gentleman
well known of his fellow men, Mr..
Watson will be the mayor for whom
PROVIDENCE has been looking. He is a
man of positive character and progress
i've ideas, as different from the inverte-
brate mush of feeble good intentions
who now sits in the mayors chair as
light is different from dusk.
City Treasurer Granger is cour-
teous and presumably efficient official,
of whom we shall prefer to say but lit
tie except that good many Republi-
cans this year would have preferred a
straight party nomination.
The nomination of William Gladding
for harbor master, and Charles Fl.
Thurber for overseer of the poor are ex-
cellent. Under the Mckinley policy
Mr.. Gladding's duties will become more
onerous, and Mr.. Thurber's less so, but
both are important Offices.

predict for it certain success and we
pronounce that success essential to the
