A BIT OF HISTORY.
The First Responsibility of the Dem.
ocratic Party.

1t is commonly said that the Democratic
party is responsible for legislation for the
first time since 1861, this last being the
date of the Inauguration OF the first Re-
publican president. But, to be exact, it
is necessary to go back two years farther.
During the first hall OF Mr.. Buchanan's
administration, that is to say from March
4, 1857, 10 March 4, 1860, the democrats
had control Of every department Of the
government. John @. Breckenridge of
Kentucky presided over n Democratic
senate and James L. Orr Of South Caro-
lima was the speaker Of Democratic
house. The Democratic party was then
able to perfect legislation, and was re-
sponsible for the laws enacted.
After March 4, 1859, this condition OF
things no longer existed. When congress
met in December long struggle ensned
over the organization of the house, which
ended on February l, 1850, with the cleo
ton OF William Pennington of New Jer-
sey, Republican. From March 4, 1859,
until August 7, 1898, period Of more
than thirty-four years, there has been no
strictly Democratic legislation, except
such as received the assent OF Republi-
can president.
In 1862, says the Courier-JouTntI o
Louisville, the Republicans inaugurated
their first president and controlled both
houses Of congress. This control lasted
till 1875, when the Democrats controlled
the house for the first time after the war.
In 1877 they again had the house, but
the Republicans had the senate and the
president. From 1881 to 1888 the Re-
publicans had both houses and the presi-
dency, though they held the senate by
dicker with General Malone. From 1883
to 1889 the Democrats had the house, but
the Republicans had the senate. From
1889 to 1891 the Republicans were again
in full control, and did much to create
the conditions from which the country is
now suffering. In 1891 the Democrats
regained control of the house, and in the
present year have again obtained control
of the presidency and the senate.
:. Thus in thirty-four years the democrats
had the presidency six years, the senate
four years and the house fourteen years,
but never had all three at one time. The
Republicans bad the presidency twenty
eight years, the senate thirty and the
house twenty years. During eighteen
years it had control of both houses and
the presidency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COSTUMES
An Ultra Reformer Compelled to Stand on
Table to Show the Tangled Dress
to Advantage.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Chicago, May 16.-There were lively
times today in seven different simul-
taneous meetings. All the subdivisions
| of the women's congress were in ses-
sion in the great art palace on the
| lake front. The halls and corridors Of
the big structure were crowded with
famous women. Topics ranging from
dress reform to evolution were under
discussion. Mrs. May Wright Sewell,
Of Indiana, president Of the interna-
tional council of women presided over
the department on dress reform. She
appeared in reform costume, with a
full skirt cut eighteen inches from the
floor and limbs below the border en-
cased in neat-fltting blue lAggings. A
number of the ladies in the audience
wore reform costumes.
In the department of congress Of the
national counc IL the president an
nounced that owing to the absence of
Francis II. Russell, that lady's report
of committee wrk wouli lie read by
Rachael Foster Avery. Secretary Avery
is one of the ultra reformers, and the
ladies in the audience insisted on her
standing on table so they might see
her costume. She climed up and there
was a general chorus Of "Oh's. Her
attire reminded one of the dress on
the Turks in Midway Plaisance. Her
skirt, of blue flannel, came just below
the knees where the garment was d.
vided and caught UP, leaving the an
kles half way up free and unfettered.
The waist was loose blouse.
Mrs. Henrietta Russell created an
other Eutter in her illustration of
"How beauty makes reform possible"
With her form arrayed in an adapta-
tion of Greek drapery, she was herself
a most striking exponent on the mat
ter on which she spoke.

D1MoND SUCCEEDS HIMSELF.

Washington, May 16.-The president
has appointed w. H. Dimond, super
intendent of the United States mint
at San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 16.-General w
H. Dimond expressed great surprise
when informed Of the dispatch re-
ceived from Washington tonight, an.
nouncing that President Cleveland had
appointed him superintendent of the
mint here
He said he had head nothing about
the matter at all and was not to be-
lieve the report incorrect, though In
view of the fact that he had sent in
his resignation two months ago, he
thought it possible the president had
appointed him temporarily till his sue
cessor could be named.
General Dimond is one of the most
prominent republicans jim California
and is superintendent of the mint at
the present time.

SUNDAY OPENING QUESTION.

Chicago, May 16.-The attendance at
the Worlds Fair today was not nearly
so large as yesterday. The weather
was anything but pleasant. Both leg
| islative bodies of the fair, the national
commission and the local directory are
laboring diligently upon the Sunday
opening question. The directory has
adopted g. resolution revolSing the Sun.
day closing rule, and at meeting of
the commission it is probable the reso-
| luton may be brought up for concur-
renee. What action may be taken ls
problematical, as the commissioners
are divided on the subject. The state
of Illinois Is likely to take hand in
the battle which may be waged. Sena-
tor Sullivan Of Cook has prepared a
resolution to be introduced at SPRING
field, tomorrow, setting forth the facts
In the case and instructing the attor-
ney general to use every legal means
at his command to the end that the
fair may be opened to the people on
Sunday.
A resolution to open the fair on Sum-
days and return theloan advanced by
the government was adopted by the
board Of directors by vote of "a to 2.
The first informal vote was taken on
the resolution to open the fair without
saying anything about refunding the
loan. This was carried by a vote Of 81
to 6. When the roll was called on the
resolution opening the fair and re-
funding the loan there were but two
dissenting votes.
The proposition to make the admis-
sion fee 25 instead Of so cents was
voted down.
The resolution provides for the
opening Of the building the machinery
not running, with religious on the
ground and sacred music in the cho-
raj halls. The matter will be consid-
cred by the commission tomorrow, and
the belief is expressed among the d.
rectors today that the national COM
mission would concur in the action.
Washington May 16.-Attorney Gen
eral Olney has rendered an opinion in
which he holds that the law Of con-
gress providing for the closing Of the
fair prohibits the opening Of the branch
postoffice located in the postofiice de-
partment of the exhibit on Sundays.
In accordance with this opinion the
postoffice and other government exhib-
its will probably be closed on SUM-
day
