PEELED TO feed. clothe aud to maintain
the slave and his family in sickness. in
youth and in cd age under the new
plan the boss owns the mans right
to labor and leaves him and his
family free to starve il he does
not labor at reduced prices fixed by
the boss. That is exactly what occurred
in New Castle and at Homestead. There
were no masters with whips, clanlSing
chains and red mouthed bloodhounds,
the popular idea of foolish and ignorant
people Of slavery, to prevent the working
people of New Castle from escaping.
But they remained just the same. They
had no more opportunity TO get away
than the other slaves used to have
The masters urged that the slaves
would starye if freed; the bosses urge
that the men will starve now but for
their charity in providing work.
One Of the strongest arguments in
favor Of human slavery was the condition
and content, the unalloyed happiness of
singing and dancing ioyousness Of the
life of the slaves. They were members OF
the family and treated as children.
1t was urged that, while there were
occasional hard masters and infrequent
cruelties, the general condition OF
the slaves made them the best and most
contented body of laborers in the world.
What does candidate Harrison say in his
letter?
greatly regret that all employers of
labor are not just and considerable, and
that capital sometimes taAes too large a
share OF the profits But | do not Sc,
that these evils will be ameliorated by
tariff policy, the first necessary effect OF
which is severe wage cut, and the
second a large diminution of the aggre
gate amount Of work to be done in thi,
country
Could Robert Toombs, one of tn,
largest and most radical slave protection
lists, have made better argument OF
apology for human slavery He coulC
not perceive any benefit whatever, he
could see only calamity. in withholding
his protection from the black slaves. II,
could not perceive that the right, tn,
absolutely untrammeled right, Of man
to dispose of his own labor would ameli
crate his condition. He saw the sam
dangers ahead that Candidate Harrison
sees now for the white slaves.

Continuing our Inklings of
Dress Goods.
Dots, spots, specks, blots,
dabs. All these touch many
sorts Of Dress Goods this sea
son. Dots on Dress Goods.
Sounds simple enough, buttry,
as the phrase goes, to get them
"down to dots, put them in
language-well, you'll give it
up.
But dots and spots literally
figure largely, or muchly, in
Dress Goods this Autumn.
They have power in style.
Little tinted specks, small as
a pin-head or smaller, how they
bring out design and color, en-
rich style, otherwise latent!
They make designs emphatic,
like italics in types or inter
jections in talk.
Iridescent colors are much
in vogue, the best of them are
spotted. The spots, often
merely dots, make the colors
simmer, heighten the effect.
A little mite of dot on a Bed
ford Cord develops the whole
pattern. Silk dots on Wor-
steds, either self color or in
contrasts; dabs of Angora
Goats hair (miscalled camePs-
hair,) blots of black Plush on
changeable cross-ribbed pat
terms make the styles ex-
quisitely complete.
Since the savage beauty OF
the leopard's costume set the
fashion, spots have.been popu-
lar in Dress Goods. Like the

spots are here; no futures in
spots in this spot.

ThE explanation Of the result Of the Cor.
bett-sullivan contest seems that Corbett
was too wary and agile to be struck and
Sullivan was too proud TO learn, or too
ignorant touse the art Of defense. Corbett
fought Sullivan almost precisely as
Mitchell fought him, except In a smaller
ring. It is the only manner in which he
can be fought-by keeping away
from him. Corbett and his trainers
have simply studied Sullivan's
methods. relied upon his contempt
for all defensive efforts. and laid a plan
TO take advantage Of them and overcome
him. They succeeded in both. They
practiced various arts which made
the vain fellow exaggerate his faults even
after he had met man in the ring who
was coolly taking advantage Of them.
Sullivan practically used himself
up by ineffective rushes after
a more alert more active and
quicker man. Sullivan never thought
of his own weak points, never
thought, apparently, that any man would
appear against whom he needed TO practic,
defensive tactics. There is no evidence
to show that Corbett could whip Sullivan
if Sullivan would show an equal skill II
the use Of his superior strength and en-
durance, as Corbett showed in the use o.
his agility and quiclmess. II is NJ
disparagement to Corbett that he use,
his good qualities to the best advantage
and made Sullivan exaggerate his owl
faults. Sullivan win probably not fgh
again, but If he We're to 60 into the RIM
against Corbett determined to HUSBAND
his strength, to be alert and defen
sive and make Corbett do all the leading
and rushing the contest would have
different termination, and it would like
