1t requires the proceeds of 10000 600
bales of cotton every year to pay the
Souths part of the pension fund, two
thirds of which are paid to support
tramps and beggars who claim to have
fought for the Union. Very little, if any,
of this large contribution ever returns to
the South. This is one of the means in

southern people of their money.

Autumn Wraps

Among the styles for cool-weather
wraps is the model which shows a short
front with wide revers, much like the
very popular Elton jacket of the summer,
but instead of the short, unseamed back
which does not reach the waist-line,
there are long Directoire coat-tails that
fall to the skirt-hem- A black wrap
made in this fashion Is goodinvestment,
for it has an elegant effect with com
paratively little outlay, as the short
open fronts can be made of one single
breadth of velvet, provided II Is wide.
and black velvet goes well with every
sort and color of skirt. Ribbed velvets
are also used in these coats-plain or in

Plans That Mean a Heavier Burden for
the People.
The republican platform adopted at
Minneapolis is chiefly notable for what
it does not say. At hasty glance it
appears that in but one particular is
the party fairly and squarely commit
ted by this document to any direct line
of action. The party is unequivocally
pledged to maintain the present outra-
geous system of tariff taxation. In d.
rect alignment with this is the pledge
of government support to the Near
aqua canal One Is essential to the
other. The vast expenditures neces-
sary to carry out the work of piercing
the Central America isthmus would
furnish an excellent excuse for main
tanning the high rate of tariff taxation
demanded by the protected barons.
Tariff taxation would be necessary to
bear the expense of the canal. 1t is
brilliant scheme of two propositions,
each of which means the same to the
people-more taxation. The declara-
ton on the silver question is only sig
