HUNGARIAN COSTUMES.
They Are Extremely Simple. but Pictui

They Are Extremely Simple, but Pictur-
esque.
The ordinary costume of both sexes at
Monestorszeg is simplicity itself. The
women wear high-necked, ankle-long
chefnise of white homespun linen, with
full sleeves gathered at the elbow and
richly embroidered, usually with blue.
Bands of narrow embroidery decorate
the waist ard the skirt also. This
chcsnise is girded to the body by thick
wooden belt. binding tightly to the
figure the upper edge of narrow apron
of striped wooden homespun. very bril-
liant in color. A kerchief is usually
worn ON the head, and the feet are
habitually bare. On Sundays and fete-
days the girls exchange the coarse gar
ments for others of choicer texture, the
chemise being fine and carefully plait-
ed, and the apron of null or muslin deli
cately embroidered with white. Tall
red morocco boots, with yellow heels
and soles and curious pointed toes
adorn, or rather disfgure, the feet, ana
around the neck are hung many rows Of
gaudy glass beads. The hair is elabor-
ately plated in a broad band, which
Is brought over to the forehead and
then turned back again. This is held
In place by dozens of pins with orha-
mental heads; and all along the edges
of the braid behind is thick row of
bits of fine green aromatic herb, while
n the hair itself at the back, as well as
around the face. bright-colored geran-
iuyrs, mAfigolds, and other flowers are
skilfully arranged On their wedding
day they cover their heads with Won
derful square structure, more like a
pastry-cook's piece montee than bon
net, wear an ample white lace shoulder
cape, a brilliant scarlet petticoat, with
white lace apron and tall red boots.
This dress is preserved with jealous
care, and is never produced except on
Sundays an holidays. The mems
costume consists of loose linen trousers,
like a divided skirt, a full tunic, a
waistcoat with silver buttons, hussar
boots, and small round hat Both
sexes have for an outer garment either
sheepelin cloak or greatcoat of very
thick feltlike white wooden with broad
square collar, and sleeves either sewed
up at the bottom, or else in short, rudi-
mentary form. These coats. and also
the sheepskin cloaks, are often richly
and gaudily embroidered.-F. ID. MIL

The stenInfthe State.

That Willis was fairly elected was
claimed at the time. That he was de-
frauded of the election was charged.
That it was done by the state canvass
ing board was believed, but it was inn
possible at that time to prove the
charge.
James F. Legate, for seventeen
years q member of the Kansas leglsla-
ture, and leading republican tells
how it was done. Just after election
he went up to Topeka TO see the
''boys" and find out how the election
had gone. They said, lit has all gone
to hi" "Willits is elected by 1000
or 5000 plurality" He vent back to
Leavenworth. and soon began to hear
it whispered around that Humphrey
was elected. He went up again, and
on his way he met one of the republi-
can "workers" and he asked him If it
was true that Humphrey was elected.
He said yes. Why how did that come
aboutP They told me Willis was
elected. He was, but we changed
enough votes from Charles Robinson
to elect Humphrey. Well, how did
you do itP We telegraphed eleven
counties to "hold the returns" We
sent out five men and we changed the
totals on the column of the county re-
turns taking In all $1,000 votes OIL
from Charles Robinson's vote and adj
ded them to the vote of Humphrey.
IThis is Legate's story and he says he
can name the men who did the job.
He says the returns from these coun-
ties cannot be found, and II they abuse
him much farther he will make affada-
Wit and challenge them to produce the
county returns. He makes this charge
dsfantly and challenges investigation.
Some of these men have seen Legate
since his expose and have charged him
with treachery in giving away the
party secrets, and violating his oath as
u Mason. He denies that it was told
him in confidence on the oath of u
Mason. 1t is altogether probable that
Legate tells the truth, but there are
some, even religious people. who say
they would not believe u renegade re-
publican.

his work on taxation, page 4, says;
tolls are taxes" TO sum up rail
road rates are taxes. James A. Gar
field said: 1.-THE fear is now enter
tanned, by many of our best men, that
the national and state Legislatures OF
the union, in creating vast corpora
tions, have evoked spirit that may es-
cape and defy control, and may WELD
power greater than the people them
selves" Two things should be done
at once IL we would preserve our lib
critics. First-cancel the charters Of
all the national banks and let the gov
eminent issue all the money OF the
nation. Second-Cancel all the chart
ers of railway companies and let the
government own and operate them in
the interests of all the people. This
can be legally done. That congress
can annul the national bank law is evil
dent. Congress can declare that rail
ways are national highways, and nm
der the regulate commerce section Of
the constitution, by right of eminent
domain can take and operate these
roads giving fair equivalence for theil
value.

The republicans of the state otKan-
sas banked good deal on the boiling
democrat convention called for Octo-
Der 7, at Topeka. The fact is that the
republican state central committee
have bought up few democrats to
work this scheme. 1t will turn out u
grand fiasco. The democrats of Kan
sas know better than to fall into this
trap. Let us see what is the past
record and the future prospect. -Four
wears ago the democrats in Kansas had
only six of the county officials in the
entire state. Now they have twenty
nine, and in the coming election they
will have about fifty or sixty. They
will elect fifteen or sixteen represen-
tatives. and some three or four state
senators. They will elect two or three
members of congress, and be inter-
ested in the election Of five or six
officers on the state ticket That is if
the peoples party is successful. This
is greater recognition than they ever
had since Kansas was q state. Intelli-
gent democrats know these things and
will have the good sense to support
the peoples party ticket and stay with
the regular democratic nominations
The republican Doodle may influence
few wire pullers but it will not turn
the rank and file.

WE as a nation, have arrived at this
alternative: Either that the govern

horn of the dilemma will you. us an

mated by good authorities that the
railroads of this country could be
operated by the government at u saw

amount is drawn from the pockets of
the people to pay big salaries and in
