am often reminded of how unwisely
some wives spend money when shopping,
but never more wildly than the other
day when l watched family in Sixth
avenue store. The occasion was impor-
tant, that was easy to see, for even the
father had left his work to take part in
the selections. The mother, with baby
IN her arms, was poorly dressed and
with little attention to details. She
wore no gloves, her shoes were slipshod
and her choker unfastened. The father
led small boy who was rather gayly
attired, but the chief object was girl
of 10 or IA whom they were fitting out.
They had been on the second floor, as
appeared in the new dress and new jack
ct, very light, delicate affair in the
height of fashion, which was bound to
show wear very soon unless kept far
more carefully than there was any like
hhood of its being. Now they were try
ing on bit white leghorn hat turned up
in the back with a ribbon bow. The
brim was edged with lace, while two
large white plumes ornamented the
crown.
Never once during the interval of in
decision did the mother glance toward
the array of black or brown straws.
Lizzie must have big white hat, and of
course the saleswoman was only too glad
to show the expensive models. The
father seemed proud of the new rig"
and from his soiled and greasy pocket
book gladly paid the money for the in
appropriate hat just selected. The locker
on could not but imagine its condition
few weeks hence, when. bedraggled and
soiled, it would look so mean. In fact,
there were quite a number of interested
spectators slyly watching the scene,
doubtless led by the contrast of such
fnery with the general appearance of the
family. It seemed such pity that the
sum spent that morning should not have
been for more serviceable apparel, but

THE Democrats take pleasure in

THE Democrats take pleasure in
charging the Sherman law to the Re-
publican party. The Republican party
did pass the Sherman law, but they
passed it as a compromise measure and
to keep a free silver bill from being
enacted. When the bill for the free
coinage of gold and silver came up in
the Senate it passed by vote of AZ yeas
to 25 nays. OF the yeas q were Dem
ocrats and Is Republicans. OF the nays
there were % Republicans to Demo
Gratis. In the House the Democrats
voted liz for free coinage and only %
against it. The Republicans voted l3O
against free coinage and only % for it.
This shows the relative standing of the
two parties. Then the Sherman COM
promise was brought in, not because the
Republicans wanted such measure,
but to prevent the few free coinage Re-
publicans combining with the Democrats
and passing free coinage measure pure
and simple. 'Tis true no Democrats
voted for the Sherman law for it was
well known that it would pass any way,
and it passed by a strict party vote.
The Sherman law may not have been
the best measure that could have been
devised, but it was the best that could
have been passed at that time. and it is
better than that which the Democrats
wanted.

PUBLIC OPINION.

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN; 1T MAY YET BE.
New York Press.
BENJAMIN Harrison had been elected
President of the United States on the
eight day of last November, the Fourth
of July, 1898, would have witnessed the
American flag floating gloriously over
Hawaii. 1t would have seen the au-
thority of the American Republic firmly
established over the fortress that COM
mands the highway of commerce to the
East, and the ownership of Hawaii, the
natural outpost of the United States in
the Pacific, settled forever.
If an Administration of patriotism
and craftsmanship had held the reins OF
power at Washington since March t,
Republican principles and American
civilization would to-day have been
planted at Honolulu so deeply that they
could never have been uprooted. That
shameful page of American history on
which is recorded the traitorous hauling
down of the Stars and Stripes and the
skulking policy of intrigue for the re-
storation of an unspeakably degraded
barbarian monarch would never have
been written. Americans would have
known on this one hundred add seven
teenth birthday of the nation that new
territory had been added to the Republic
far exceeding in value that far north
western domain whose annexation is
William H. Stewards most enduring
monument; the enemies of this country
and the friends of despotism would have
been disappointed and Inundated; and
the United States would have made a
magnificent stride toward the CONNER,
cial dominion over the New World which
is hers by the right of fitness and inner
itance.
1t is not yet too late for the American
people to grasp the prize that is held out
to them. There is still time for the
nation to make its will so potently felt
at Washington that the Administration
will hot dare to hand Hawaii over to the
empire whose guns already menace ouI
seaports from a Gordon of impregnable
strongholds.

TuE onnosition press has ouit talkin

THE opposition press has quit talking
about tin plate, doubtless in the erring
belief that none is made in this country,
but in reference to the progress of this
industry, the American Manufacturer
has this to say:
Remembering that the production Of four works
does not appear in our report for the first quarter
OF 1893, the general results Of the production in
this quarter as compared with the last quarter of
1892 may be summed up as follows: First-Pro-
duction has increased some 30 per cent. Second
Production of bright tin the better trade, has more
than doubled. Third-The use Of American black
plates has increased so per cent; Of foreign less
than 10 per cent This is a showing of which we
need not to be ashamed. 1t is no wonder that
those who claimed no tin plate could be or was
made in America don't want this showing made
public.

Won His wav With LOGAN Carlisle.

Every official in Washington just now
is besieged by people in quest of Office.
and the treasury department has prob
ably more than its share of them. Off
cials know how it is themselves, how
ever, and their good nature is almost su-
perhuman. Among the extra well bal
anced ones is Logan Carlisle, chief clerk
of the treasury, and to him came youth
from Indiana, who wanted to know
about place that he had in view.
''It's this way" said the young man
after some talk. I'm like the young man

at the earliest opportunity.

Franklin tells story of a man whose
two legs were very unlike-one hand
somely turned, the other deformed.
When any one who visited him looked at
the ugly leg and commented on it, he
held the man to be looking for the bad
side of things and folk. But if the Wis
itor saw his handsome limb and COM
mented on its beauty he held the fellow
to be worth esteem, for he looked at the
good side of things and probably would
see the best in his neighbors and friends.
Is 1t easier to see other peoples virtues
than their faults? have at last come to
see that folk are far better than they get
credit for being.

The Republican party is boldly charg-
ed by its opponents with having brought
the country to the verge of ruin through
unwise legislation, and the plea is set up
that the Democrats were voted into
power to bring the country back 10
safety and prosperity. This is what the
leaders of that party have promised to
do, and what Congress has been calle d
together to undertake. The financial
and industrial policies under which a
gigantic rebellion was subdued, an un-
paralleled war debt reduced to an easy
burden and the nation brought to the
highest degree of prosperity and progress
ever attained in its history, are to give
way to something else, no one seems to
know what. We are promised tariff

these are vague terms from which no
one can form definite conclusions.

sense been constructive. 1t has always
manifested disposition to destroy what
the Republican party has accomplished,
but lacked the power. Now it has the
power, and the pulling down process is
about to begin. There are difficulties in
the way for the party and dangers ahead
for the country, but the risks will have
to be taken. 1t is not very assuring to
be told at the outset by SO distinguished
a Democratic reformer as Mr.. Henry
Watterson that ''whatever is done must
be done in the nature of an experiment. !"

For years the Democratic party has
been nothing but a party of obstruc-
tionists. 1t has not formulated and
carried out policies. 1t has only kicked
against and obstructed the policies OF

makes obstructionists, but it does not
make statesmen, and now that that
party is in power the effect of kickers
trying to blossom out as statesmen
without going through the incubating
process. is seen in the inability of the
Democratic party to do anything.

WATCH THE MEDITERRANEAN!

WATCH THE MEDITERRANEAN!
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The New York Times states that some
gaps in the line of sanitary defense which
the Government has established in Eu
ropean ports have been closed. Among
the steps represented in that light is the
transfer of United States surgeon from
Marseilles to London. In connection
with that transfer the Times remarks
while it is true that cholera prevails in
the vicinity of Marseilles, there is very
little emigration to America from that
port, and the work heretofore done by
Surgeon Irwin can easily be carried on
by some assistant left in charge"
1t is assuring to know that the system
of sanitary inspection abroad is vigilantly
organized, but it can not be accepted
without protest that the danger from
Marseilles is of so little gravity that il
can be left to the very indefinite pro-
lection of .some assistant" On the
contrary, Marseilles is the one port in
Europe which under present circum-
stances needs close watching. There
may be little emigration thence; but one
immigrant can import as deadly cholera
germ as another. There is in addition
a good deal of commerce from Marseilles.
Rags come thence in considerable car
goes, and they are among the staple
vehicles for spreading the infection.
1t is well TO have such ports at London
and Southampton closely watched. But
the vigilance should be unabated at the
Mediterranean ports, where the disease
is already in existence.
