DKmooRATIo ECONOMY.

DEmOCRATIC ECONOmF.
OF course 1t was too much to expect
that President Cleveland could notice In
his brief inaugural address all the i'm
portant matters of public interest. But II
is little surprising that he did not call
the attention of the country to the re-
msrkable economy displayed by the Fifty
second congress. It will be remembered
that when tho record of the Fifty first
congress was made up, Mr.. Cleveland's
friends took every opportunity to call at-
tention to the work of "the billion dollar
congress" They couldn't speak sbout IL
too often or too much. Now the record
of the Fifty-seoond congress is made up
and 1t Is discovered that Democratic econ
omy has been so successfully exercised that
only LOOT, ,000, 600 was appropriated,
which is only $3S, ,000, 900 more than was
appropriated by what the Democrats called
'the billion dollar congress-"
President Cleveland has missed an op-
portunity. He could have laid down, In
his own strong and impressive way, the
proposition that economy is the soul of
wealth. Then he could have shown that
q, ,027 600, 900 isn't much compared with
%, 500, 600, 900, and that $3s, 900, 600 isn't
much compared with 81 ,027, ,0OO, 900. He
could then have proceeded to argue that q
Democratic congress showed cheering econ
omy in spending only sSS. .000, 900 more
than a Republican congress, and that 1t
could easily have spent $100, ,0OO, 900 more,
and would have done so If II hadn't been
truly economical.
We are not sure that this would have
been entirely consistent with the general
tone Of the inaugural address, but it ought
to have been said. By and by somebody
will be complaining of the exrravagance of
the cover billion congress-" and If the
oomplainer could be shown that President
Cleveland had pointed out in his solemn
and sacred inaugural that $3s, 600, 900
wasn't much 1t might be a sufficient an
swer. Perhaps, however, he will refer to
It later, and then We shall have an sde-
quste vindication of Democratic economy.
Meanwhile, sl,027, ,O0o, 900 looms up
rather impressively, and even $Ss, ,000, 900
is noticeable.

a. simply won't do ct all. Her hair is
pretty, but there Is NO meaning to the line
it makes as 1t Is drawn back to the tidy
coil that pushes the hat swkwardly In the
back. The extra feather that hangs down
over the coil hangs wrong, too. Whether
II is the feathers fault, or the coils, or
the dear little womsn's, you don't know.
She has fur around the neck of her coat,
but 1t neither ornaments her coat or af-
fords becoming softness about her face
and chin. 1t is just there in the simless
way everything else abe has on Is worn.
It comes around her neck at the back and
down on either side Of the front, but the
fastening of the coat is all bare, and 1t
comes together queerly anyhow. Part of
the queernsss of the coat Ia that the sleeves
are not full at the shoulders, and this
Gives final effect to her uncertain air. She
carries her head q little forward, too, and
the whole result is-well, Ii isn't pleasing,
and she seems to know 1t isn't and to bs
meekly in despair about IL, too. There is
q moral In all this for those who would
avoid such an appearance. Don't wear
anything without definite purpose; for, If
you do, the first thing you know you will
be all be-gewgawed rather than ornament
ed. and all "togged out" rather than care
fully attired. FLoRKrrE.
