ONLY A M a N.

The reaction is we'll under way. On the
4th of March large Man of Destiny took
his seat in the presidential chair for the
second time. Gloom and dsmpness were
in the air, but there was no gloom in the
breasts of the Democrats who had gath
cred in Washington to see their idol re-
enter the temple. Many of them were,
inside in order to keep the outside damp
from hurting them. They admired and
worshipped. Those who didn't stay to
ask for Office went home when their
money was gone, or as soon as the
belated trains could carry them away.
But all were happy and satisfied
and hopeful. They felt that miracle had
been worked, that the country had been
saved, and that the real ruler and inspired
ono had again come into his own. But
there has been a change. 1t is beginning
to be thought that the new president is
nothing more than a man, after all; that
his 'say so" may not bring prosperity to
the country or solve all the difficult prob
lens that confront the nation. 1t is al
ready seen that he can't give Offices
to all the good Democrats who de-
serve them. He doesn't seem able
to dea, with the financial situation
any better, to say the least, than the Re-
publican president did. And he isn't
pleasing the tariff rsformers very much.
Charles Francis Adams Gays he cant, as
follows: The existing tariff system, 1t is to
be remembered, is not the growth of few
recent years. On the contrary, as have
said, 1t began one hundred years ago, and,
with slight periods of reaction, 1t has gone
on steadily developing upon one and the
same line from then till now, when 1t has
reached the Mckinley elimination. What
reason is there to suppose that the pres
ent reaction which is anything more than
the various reactions which preceded it,
If not, 1t is only temporary. One thing is
certain, the tendency of the people of the
United States is distinctly toward pro-
lection of every character. The
only point at present to be discussed is
the degree to which President Cleveland,
through his administration of four ysars,
can affect 1t. This hold to be small in
deed.
And as for the Mugwumps, they want to
know what has become of civil service re-
form that is, some of them do, and the
rest want to know when they are going to
get the Offices which they feel sure belong
to them. Meanwhile the President is find
ing out that it is a dangerous and an un-
pleasant thing to be an idol, and fail in
any way to come up to the notions of the
worshippers thereof.

Africa is q big country. 1t Is about four
times as big as the United States. Fifty
years ago little was known in Europe or
this country about Africa and only ten
years ago much of It's surface was marked
''unexplored" on the maps. Now the
country is not only pretty thoroughly
known, but 1t has been pretty thoroughly
gobbled up by several of the Christian ma
tions of Europe, who are anxious to spread
Christianity and civilization and make an
honest dollar while doing 1t.
Tho facts concerning the extent to which
the appropriating process has been carried
will surprise those who haven't kept track
of it. France claims 5000. 900 of the 49,
600, 900 square miles. But 2, ,000, 900 square
miles Of this consists of desert sand. Eng
land, on the other hand, claims $500, 600
square miles of the best regions In Africa.
France owns Algeria, Tunis, large por-
ton of Senegambia, north of the Gulf of
Guinea; some Of ths Congo territory,
most Of the Great Desert. and claims
a protectoIate over Madagascar and
Dahomey. England has an undeniable
right to everything below the Congo Free
State which Is valuable for colonization,
and puts forth claims to the territory at
the headwaters of the Nile and In the val
ley of the Niger on the west. England also
assumes a right of prior possession from
the port of Suakim and Khartoum to the
Niger, which includes belt of land many
miles wide stretching from the Red Sea
to Ssnegambia. The Germans have marked
for theirs and partly settled large
tract reaching inland from Zanzibar
on the east to the Congo Free
State; a smaller piece in West Africa
and another large section on the Gulf of
Guinea, south of the British claim-in fact,
lying between the British belt and the sea.
The Congo Free State is the exclusive and
only possession of Belgium. The Italians
and English offer rival pretensions to
Abyssinis and the other territory on the
Gulf of Alden, but the Italians have mas
tered the best parts of 1t and will in the
end secure Abyssinis The Portuguese
have several patches of territory on the
western coast, and one on the southeastern
at Delagos Bay. Spain claims some of
the northwestern coast Of the Desert of
Sahara.
Most of this dividing and gobbling has
been done during the last ten years, Soon
there will be railroads all over tho country,
and its resources will then be rapidly de-
veloped. Possibly if Horace Greely were
alive he would say "Young man, 60 to
Africa" 1t is evident that there are going
to be great opportunities there for the bold
and the strong.

ter continues around the neck and is laid
in tiny pleats. The upper fronts are of
velvet and form kind of peasant girdle.
The side laps over and goes around the
waist, if desired, or only as far ss the left
side seam, where 1t ends in q point fast
ened with rosette or ribbon bow. The
collar is of velvet and the bodice has bal
loon sleeves.
The real old fashioned, simple round
skirt is shown in summer dresses, and is
very pretty. There is no wonderful or
difficult cut to 1t, the skirt being from
four to five yards around, and all the full
ness Is gathered in at the waist. Then the
bodice:is made plain, with big sleeves and
. rufie about the shoulders that hangs
ever the bust and arms. Such dresses are
lined with crisp stuff that will wash. The
dresses themselves are made of dimities,
lawns and muslins, and 1t must be oon-
fessed that such dresses are just suited, as
far as looks go, to the sumner season.
Expense Is not increased. Such wash
goods can be had very cheaply, and the
style of making up is SO simple that the
extra material may be more than made up
for by the expense saved in home dress
making. FLoRETTE.

students from all the California institG-

Graduate students are received for a three
yesrs' course as candidates for the degree
of doctor of philosophy. Others take
special courses for which there Is an in

more complete arrangements are made for
their board and lodging. An oak covered
plateau several hundred feet below the OBJ
servatory offers 8 fine site for hotel, dor

recily into the current, ,snd learns far mole
by observations of the methods of Others
than by the study of text books. He can

The Cowboy Type.

lfrom the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
'The cowboy romance has very few sur.
viying types" said Charles Warren. 81
have travelled all through Colorado and the
csttle-rsnge country almost continuously
the last few years, and have been struck
with the difference between the cowboy as
he Is and the cowboy as he Is described.
The only time ever saw a man dressed
snd equipped in what may be called regu-
lstion cowboy style was year or two ago,
when two young men from New York
came out to exhaust a cowboy fever. They
were armed from top to toe, wore hats
with larger brims than could be purchased
In Colorado from end to end, high boots
which must have been made to order from
plans drawn by the wearers themselves,
and with Winchester rifles of the heaviest
possible type. The young men evidently
thought they were obeying the injuuc-
tion to do in Rome as the Romans do.
A dozen or more active cowboys were pres-
ent when these impeiuous youths got off
the cars with their equipments, and it is
doubtful whether they were more sur
prised at the sight, or whether the sur
prise was not principally on the other
side. The next day the young men had
either hidden or destroyed their gro.eseue
attire, and turned ont with the boys
dressed in reasonable garb. Two weeks of
prosaic csttle-herding work was enough for
the youths, who returned east completely
cured and with very revised notions of
how cowboys dress and how they earn a
livelihood"

california Letter in New York Evening Post !
The observatory ought to have sufi-
cient general fund" to allow the number
of workers and students in the little noun
tain colony to be quadrupled. Greenwich
has twenty observers and Harvard forty,
while Lick observatory has only six. But
one soon feels the fsithfulness and the
white heat of enthusiasm of these lonely
mountain-dRellers. They sit all night
long at their instruments and often work
half the day besides. They toll on with
out pausing except for their meals, exer-
else and few hours sleep, living like
soldiers at the front. They ought to be
perfectly happy and live the i'd. al life,
away up on the mountain, with the stars
for companions. Still, doubt not they
are sometimes nervous and very tired, and
the feelings of an average mortal must be
reckoned with, in their microscosm of a
world, as in the hurly burly far below.
No matter, 1t is a wonderful place where
each of these pale watchers has so often,
