The st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
the leading Republican journal in
Missouri, comes out in plain English
and tells its party just where and
why the Democratic victory was SO
sweeping, and it lays the fault at
the very point charged to the party
by the Democratic portion of the
nation, thusly:
This thing called McKinleyism
this advancing of duties on
articles which have been on the
dutiable list for from a third of a
century to century-has been con-
demned finally and eternally by the
people. This verdict has been
rendered twice, and after an inter-
val of two years between the judg-
ments. The first verdict may have
been hastily given, and without suf-
ficient examination of the evidence,
but the second was recorded after
reasonable deliberation, and it was
more pronounced and emphatic than
the first. lie the Republican party
is to win any victories in the future
it must drop McKinleyism inn
mediately and permanently, and
send all the men who cling to it to
the rear"

Modern Fashions and History.

The present season opened with rich
display OF new styles, and what makes
them particularly attractive is the fact
that, for tho greater part, they are de-
rived from an historical source. Thus,
the Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. pretty
conceits are seen by the side of the pic
turesque Directorie and Empire Costumes,
and the graceful fancies of the 1880 peri
od--all these to be sure in their modern
notifications and relieved by the artistic
touch of our contemporary taste. A
great freedom of selection Is, consequent
ly, afforded to every lady, for no single
leading style will prevent her from fol-
lowing her natural taste. To fully un-
derstand the past origin of the varied
Modes of our coming season, and their
development into their present adapta-
tions, no surer guides could be obtained
than the Mcdowell Fashion Journals.

Masking Fun of Mckinley

McKinley's international reputa-
ton is now entering upon new
phase, which raises serious ques-
ton for all patriotic Americans.
When he was hated and feared
among all civilized nations, it was
our obvious duty, of course, to bow
before him as a miracle of wisdom
and benevolence, and let him walk
over us to his hearts content
But now he has become an object
of worldwide and inextinguishable
laughter. Whenever anybody starts
up with some mad, economic pro-
prosal, like Mr.. Lowther's crazy
plan to revive the corn laws in Eng
land, he is told that he is posing as
a Mckinley, that to say, as a solemn
charlatan who is fated to complete
exposure and reputation. In fact,
the name of Mckinley is now the
occasion for the most ribald and
brutal ridicule among foreigners.
What obligation does this devolve
upon us? There must be an urgent
duty for Americans to be inferred
from this pronounced sentiment of
other nations. What ought a mans
compatriots to do when the whole
world is making fun of himP We
refer the question to Mr.. Depew,
who ought to be great authority
on victims of general scorn and
mockery. New York Evening
