an all-important one and its importance will
increase as the great campaign OF p2 approach.

And other April Fashions Now Present to
the View.


NEW YORK, April ls.-The shapeless
loose backed coat is bright and shining
illustration of the fact that 1t takes quite
as much diplomatic genius to be sue
cessful creator of fashions as 10 be a sue
cessful politician; but there is this i'm
portant difference. the two varieties of
genius are exercised in precisely opposite
ways.
The politician wants above all things an
issue he can tie to: the inspirer of fash
ions would find his occupation gone il the
world tied up TO any of the effusions OF
his talent too securely. This is the only
possible explanation OF the fact, that only
rarely and by accident is a fashion beau
tiful; it is offered to be thrown aside as
soon as the offerer has had time TO think
Of fresh Offering.
Nobody is expected to like the loose
backed sack; why should anybody like itg
Is it not more profi able to Messieurs ct
Mesdames. the designers Of Paris, to be
called upon Immediately for fresh de-
sign?
There were lot of loose backed girls
on Broadway this morning, and IL pleased
me To see with what amused smiles each
one of them observed every other one. It's
much more fun to see sombody else as
Others see you than to see yourself as you
see other people.
One slender creature with short brown
curls had ventured on a rich Roman red
jacket, and looked as well in it as any
body ever succeeds in looking in one OF
the graceless garments. The wind got
under il and puffed Ii in the hack; in front
it was better, with its loose flaps fastened
diagonaliy with rows of velvet buttons
and its collar, cuffs and pocket flaps Of
black velvet. Three or four big yellow
tulips were thrust into her buttonhole,
for we're not afraid in these days Of color,
and, young aud pitiless and handsome as
she was, she looked with eyes of laughing
scorn on younger and prettier but also
shorter and plumper girl, who came out
OF Brentano's i'll pale, grayish blue
repped coat that was also puffed by the
wind in the back aud was all futter
with ribbons.
This second model had fine and silky
ribs which tried 10 give it up-and-down-
ness as we'll as acrossness, aud might have
succeeded on a taller and less roundly
blonde figure. 1t had wired Medici col
lar at the throat turned over in a great
roll. and it had Vatican plait In the
back, starting at the neck and accompa-
MED in its downward course by bow and
ends OF broad blue ribbons. The blue
coat saw the Roman red coat before il
had fairly stepped upon the pavement it
turned to gaze after it and il looked di-
ver;ed.
Such is life and such ore coats, my fell
low-womep.

The Loan Exhibition.

It is expected that by tonight every
thing will be in readiness for the loan ex-
hibition of colonial and revolutionary
relics which opens in the Rhode Island
Historical Society Building, 66 Wa erman
street, under the auspices of the Graspee
Chapter of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution, tomorrow afternoon.
Since Friday the workmen have been In
possession. The draperies have been put
up. the show cases placed in position and
the pictures hung. Elecric lights have
been put in by the kindness Of Marsden j.
Perry, and this afternoon the exhibits are
being arran ged to the best advantage.
The display is to be remarkably interest
ing from the historical standpoint and a
credit in every way to its promoters.

then, 90 poor as that?

Any effort or any undertaking that has for
its object the broadening OF the mind aad tho
exciting of . thirst for knowledgs, Is to hs
commended. Travel, moro than eny other
thing, will accomplish these objects. and The
proposition Of the NEWS to aid some one Of il

ton abroad, to be disseminated among tie
people Of our State upon his return, appears
to be particularly interesting and laudabis.

Mr.. Cornell-one who is familiar

And it is this gang which, with
the able assistance of the New
York Sun, has slaughtered or

than it has helped to elect; which
loudly boasts of its party loyalty;
and vet in the same breath it
threatens with its wrath any can

The Democracy had just as

ence to Tammany. Nominate a
good clean man from the west
and let New York support
him or not just as she pleases.
Her cause is problemati al any
how. Both the Republican and
Democratic machine Tammany)
in that state are so treacherous
neither party can afford to depend
on them. If we have no western
man Of sufficient strength try
Cleveland again. Cleveland is
the only man in the East who has
the confidence Of the South anc
West and the only thing in his
way is the fear that he cannot
carry his own state. The Rhode
Island Democrats are practically
solid for Cleveland. The Massa
chusetts Democrats are practi
cally solid for Cleveland. Palmer
says Cleveland can carry Illinois
and these three with six vote:
from Michigan would elect with
out New York. If the Demo
Gratis are determined to put ;
free silver plank in the platform
they had better nominate Cleve
land because he is the only mar
on earth who would have the
ghost Of show to win on a free
silver platform.
