And Dame Fashion was very lenient

sequences that would ensue if all women
should follow this style, and so she
added some others that are so graceful

speaking of the recent lynching of ne
groes In Texas, Tennessee and Louisiana
ne SAID one thing which struck me as be-
ing particularly sensible. He said: with

administration of law in their hands, the
white people in those regions insist upon

emerging from barbarism the most bar
parous OF lessons. What respect for law
can poor negro have who sees white men
nang an idiotic negro girl for foolish
CRIME, or shooting down a lot of poor,
penighted creatures who have violated the
law under the very shadows of court
housesf Can these people be expected to
refrain from barbaric force when they see
that lawiess force is constantly used
against them?"
Mr.. Montgomery tells me that there is
very strong sentiment of disapprobation
growing up among the white people of the
South touching this ruffianism. As vet it
is not strong enough to assert itself but
the time Is not far distant when intelli-
gent white men will take control. ITO
gay" he says, many men who bitterly
dlsepprove of this lawlessness on the part
of the whites are compelled to keen quiet
lest they invite hostility ana social and
commercial ostracism." Mr. Montgomery
is exceedingly hopeful and is con-
hdent that his race will eventually
secure Its fair representation and
its share of intelligence and re-
spectful consideration. He is doing
everything in his power to induce people
OF his race to become small landowners.
he says that as soon as negro ACQUIRES
piece OF property he becomes interested at
once in good government and is willing to
cooperate with those who have equally
vital interests in securing that great
deslderatum-peace and prosperity. If a
negro of Mr.. Montgomery's character, in
telligence, foresight and industry could
be planted in every county in the South,
the race question would soon be placed on
the back shelf, and statesmen would
have something else to fret themselves

There is one mooted question which the
man OF fashion can get diverse opinions
upon. This is on which side of the lady
should gentleman ride. Many. and they
include most riding masters, have given
the left side the preference. They assert
that the right hand of the gentleman
should always be nearest the lady; that
he should be in position to render imme-
date assistance in case of need, for pass
ing riders and wagons are liable at any
moment to create an occasion for interior
ence: Now then, says the lady, if he is on
the left, there is a continual contact, and
the gentleman's horse by crowding against
the other, invariably hurts the lady's limbs.
This. in my opinion. is the fault of the
gentleman. He should have complete con-
troll of his animal, and what one lady has
termed the ''impropriety of contact" must
be impossible. 1t is the left side on which
the gentleman should ride, for his presence
on any occasion presupposes protection,
and it is on the side only where his right

The most patient animal we have in this
country is the great American public.
Otherwise it might be expected to rise in
its might and sweep out of existence the
men and their measures by which it is
constantly plundered. One of the biggest
jobs of public robbery we have ever had
in active operation in this state, even ex-
ceiling in magnitude any single operation
of the late William NJ Tweed, is in
volved in the construction of the state
house at Albany. 1t has been fifteen years
since the inception of this gigantic steal,
and it has been hourishing and prospecting
ever since. That the plundering has been
going on all these years without any one
'doing time" in the penitentiary on ac-
count of 1t, shows how Indifferent the pub
lie has become in regard to this sort of
thing. This state house was to originally
cost 81, 900, 600. There was careful figuring
done on it by building experts, and it was
agreed that the plans of the architect could
be carried out for this sum and have some
thing left over to buy key of beer to
treat the boys with. The four millions
were appropriated and expended and
hardly made hole in the ground-and yet
the money was sunk somewhere. If it
did not go into hole in the ground it
millions were appropriated-and spent.
A building began to arise and assume form.
By and by a roof was put on and beautiful
ceilings became a feature of the decora-
tons. Then the ceilings began to drop
off. The more money appropriated to glue
it on again, the more it dropped.
And yet, strange to say, it did not drop
on any of the statesmen who were guilty
of its having been put on so badly. More
millions were appropriated until up to the
present time over SIS, 000, coo has been ex-
pended, and the state house is still uncom-
pleted. The present Legislature has passed
bill appropriating $500, 600 to be spent on
the job this year. A like sum will be spent
next year, and in all an additional $1,000
600 will be expended, running
up the grand total to something
over $20000,0o0 for building which
originally was to cost 81. 100000. And we
have no assurance that even $50, 900, 600
will satisfy the spoIlsmen. Governor
Flower has been making some calcula-
tons. and thinks he can complete the
white elephant during his term Of Office by
the expenditure of this additional
100000. He recommends that the
work be pushed through to COM
pletion on the ground of economy.
The several long periods of delay
which have punctuated the work
have been somewhat expensive, inasmuch
as this has necessitated the renewal three
times over of the plant used in the con-
struction, at cost of nearly $3.50, 900. 1t
need not be said that large part of this
money has been deliberately stolen. Much
of it has been wasted in the most wanton
manner, and all by legislative sanction.
The patient, calm-eyed public looks on,
grumbles little and the Doodle is carried
of IN bag before Its eyes.

In the course of the evening Jean de

NEW YORK, March 21.-tSpecial Core
spondence. THE latest is outl refer to
the spring styles in traps and driving out
fits generally, and remark that the sleek
looking speeders seem to enjoy the first
trial of the newly designed rigs as much
as the finely dressed owners whose hands
guide them through the mazes of the
drives in Central or Prospect park.
The very prettiest phaeton | saw during
the week was one which attracted special
attention over in Brooklyn. It was that
just built for ]. S. T. Stranahan, and l
caught glimpse of it just as that fine
old gentleman was driving his rather quiet
animal past the stone presentment of
himself in Prospect park. The brougham
was trimmed in drab cloth, painted in
three shades of blue, the stripping being in
light blue. The harness was built espe-
cially for the carriage, with view to COM
plete harmony. The mountings were
brass and hand-chased from original de-
signs.
DR.. James Ridley Taylor, the we'll
known Lotos Club member, who is as
familiar to Central park visitors as the
statues on the Mall, has blossomed out in
new rig this spring. 1t is finely de-
signed Stanhope, of English make, and

that he can be supposed to be protector
and guide. Watch Foxhall Keene when
etcorting lady in the park while on a
driving tour and you will have an ideal
representation of the horseman protector.
Among the elegant new outfits of the
spring is that of DIR. Seward Webb, which
l do not believe has yet been seen in the
park, although it will be as soon as the
Easter season begins and the Webbs come
back from their country home. The $15,-
600 hackneys which Mr.. Webb bought
abroad will then have a chance to show
their sterling qualities behind one of the
prettiest traps ever seen in the park, in
which, moreover, much has been sacrificed
to gain strength and lightness,
One of the handiest whips, who is seen
daily in the park, is that young driver
Thomas Pearsall Field. There is nothing
pretty about his ''runabout," but he can
do some speedy and excellent driving in it.
Frank Ferguson can be seen daily behind
pair of spirited bays in red-geared light
wagon, which seems to be all the style. /

park, and George c. Clausen with one not
