A very pretty and seryiceablc fabric
and one that Is quite new resembles
Oxford shirting and is shot so that in
any color there is shade of white.
Very much in evidence at the present
moment is the black gown; indeed, 1t
has daily increasing popularity. 1t
Is by no manner Of means a plain Of
fair, but is the most elaborate Of the
seasons gowns A fayorite material
for solid black gowns is Brussels ret.
1t has a square raised dot like the dot
Of point desprit, but is quite unlike
that fine-meshed lace in that it is neavy
and thick instead Of sheer.
A pretty chatelaine pin is a wreath
of white enamel leaves mingled with
pearls.
Crossed words behind an enamel
shield makes new brooch.
A new material, and one which has
every indication Of lasting popularity
Is called silk homespun. 1t is made of
pure silk carded and spun into threads.
Very soft yelyets of almost grenadine
thinness are among the novelties in
millinery trimmings.
Elton and Spanish jackets in infinite
variety and in all sizes. to be used with
summer silks and fine wool dresses, are
displayed in the shops. Those I'm black

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of q perfect lax
ative; effectuallY cleansing the system,
dispelIing colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Rowels without weak
ening them and It is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every

When a French young lady who is
comme i'll fault goes in the sea to bathe
she is accompanied by her mother or
other female guardian, writes Sterling
Beilg in a Havre letter, describing a
bathing scene at Trouyille. She covers
herself completely with white, pink,
blue or spotted sheet, which conceals
even the color of her bathing costume.
This she throws or hands to an at
tendant only when she gets into the
water. When she emerges it is in
Stantly resumed. Those who display
themselves upon the beach instead of
attending to their bath do so because
they wish the gentlemen with opera
glasses should not be disappointed; and
there is no one to forbid them walking
and lOunging as they please.
The beach is roped off in three di-
visiOns-One for men, one for ladies
alone and one mixed. At the side Of
the ladies' exclusive bath there is II
printed notice forbidding the monsieurs
to hang about. Thus ladies can take
their choice; if they do not want to
leave their husbands they can go into
the mixed bath. If Il big girl is not

thinks it best for her not to mingle

in the ladies bath. In the mixed bath

Married ladies, sure Of themselves
and of their husbands confidence, do
not scruple to make little flutter en-

ances within the water. But the I'M

Where the Blame Lies.


The country is now reaping the bit
Republican administration, as there
has been no legislation or session oi
Congress since the inauguration oi
President Cleveland. The present de.
preston in business is the legitimate
ley bill and the wasteful policy OF the
Harrison administration. The Sher-
man bill (which was expected to make
money plenty is now acknowledged to
be such a failure, and 80 bad, SO full OF
danger to a sound financial condition,
that nobody defends it. 1t Is repudi-
ought to be repealed. The Mckinley
bill, with the rest of the Republican
measures, inaugurated an era OF wild
speculation.
High protection was to give success
to any business venture. Men rushed
into all sorts of schemes to get rich at
bound. Trusts were formed and mul.
tiplied, to sell watered stock, and to
increase prices. Banks were started
by men who wanted to borrow and not
to lend. The tide OF speculation was
raised so high that prosperous men
like Mckinley and Ex-Secretary Foster
were swept into the current and ruined.
The inevitable result of this wild
craze is collapse and failures. The
weak visionary concerns go to the
wall and wind up. The strong find the
market overstocked. Banks that made
their loans to the spectators are COM
PEELED to stop. Excessive protection,
inspiring the hope of excessive profits,
always has, and always will, cause such
rush into protected business as to re-
suit in overproduetion.
The Mckinley bill has share with
Sherman bill in bringing about the
present disturbed condition of business
In the country. 1t is not Cleveland that
is responsible for this, but Harrison
and tho Republican administration.
We can now see how much the country
has lost by the election of President
Harrison instead of Cleveland. With
nerve enough to veto the Mckinley
bill and the Sherman bill, and any
other mischievous measures, Cleve-
land would have saved the country
from the disasters that a mistaken
policy has brought upon 1t. We re-
peat, it is Harrison, not Cleveland, who
Is responsible.-New Age.

Lees Lungs, More Brain.

This is a good time for the friends
of silver" to give their lungs vaca-
tion and to place the gray matter of
their brains on duty, Their gray mat
ter will observe that it is not the "gold
bugs" or the "bloated bondholders" of
Wall street who are petitioning Con-
gress to repeal the Sherman act and to
return to sound currency. In fact,
these rich spectators are enjoying i'm
mensely the prospect of cheap silver
may be successful in preventing the re-
peal of the Sherman law for many
months, and that business will fuctu-
ate from hot to cold several times dur
ing each month OF tampering with our
currency. They have the capital and
can buy low and sell high, by taking
advantage of the business necessities
Of the country. After one or two years
of this work, or when all of the avail
able cash is squeezed out of industry,
they will be willing to desist for awhile
to allow the country to reouperate.
They would then pray for another
cheap money scare.
While industry is suffering and
business houses and banks are tum-
bling, because of the money stringency
big fortunes are being doubled in Wall
street. But little has been learned as
yet of what has occurred. 1t has, how
ever, leaked out that Mr.. Addison
Cammack has made 81, 10000 during
the past three months, and that the
profits of A. J. We'll & Co. since June
II aggregate $2.000,000. Bigger specu-
lators are probably making bigger
profits" The present fear of cheap
money will cost honest industry and
labor hundreds of millions Of dollars.
1t will be extracted by aid for the rich
spectators. More charities and aims
houses for the poor, more steam yachts
and foreign castles for the rich. "To
him that hath it shall be given, and
from him that hath not it shall be
taken away, even that which he hath"
but never more rapidly than when our
currency system is being juggled with
in the interest Of silver-mine owners,
who use the mortgaged farmer and the
poor laborer as their tools. When
these same farmers and laborers
awaken and realize what they have
done they will feel like kicking them
selves into the great big sea.-B. w.

Big Pension Leak.

Every candid mind must approve
and applaud the work that Commis-
sioner Lochren Is doing in revising
AMI purging the pension rolls. He Is
granting every new pension for which
o just calm is made out. He is sus-
pending no pension allowable under
the law. He is simply stopping the
payment of millions of Government
money to men who are not entitled
under the law TO receive 1t.
The suspensions include two classes
Of cases-viz., those in which the al
towance has been secured by direct
fraud, and those in which, without
fraud on the pensioners part, the al
lowance has been made contrary to
law. There we're 250 cases discovered
In Virginia, $50 in Iowa, and about
1000 in New Mexico in which pensions
had been secured by plain fraud and
false swearing, for men who had never
been in the service at all. To strike
these from the rolls was as manifestly
duty as to stop any other form OF
stealing. But the other class of cases
Is much the larger. Investigation
shows that about one hundred thou
sand pensions were improperly granted
under Raum's extraordinary order No.

plain intent of the law. These pen.
sions take about S1l 100000 year out

hence the statement above that the

Without discussing the merits of the
silver controversy, tt is plain that our
first duty and interest is to restore
confidence abroad. This is peculiar
ly moral panic" All our resources
are intact, and there is neither plague
nor famine within our borders. Conf
dence is all that Is lacking, and the re-
turn of that means the return of pros

Mckinley on the Sherman Act.

The Sherman silver-purohase bill
was passed by Congress in 1890. Soon
after its passage Major Mckinley came
to Grand Rapids and addressed an i'm
mense Republican meeting in Hart
mans Hall. In the course of his speech
he eulogized the action of the Repub-
lican majority in Congress. One of
the reasons which he urged as the oc-
casion for eulogy was the passage of
the Sherman law. He did not claim
that 1t was a compromise or anything
of the kind. He made no apologies for
it. He gloried in it as a great and no
BILE act of Republican Congress. He
said:
What have we done7 We have passed the
silver bill-the best silver bill that was ever
put upon our statute books. What does 1t do2
the silver product of the United States. The
Government buys 500, 900 ounces every thirty
days, and issues its Treasury notes for that
sum, and makes them redeemable in gold or
silver, and makes them receivable for debts,
public and private, absolutely legal tender
that puts in circulation little more than two
millions every thirty days, and In addition to
what Is put in circulation under the old law,
the two millions Of coinage q month. Then
we have made this silver as good as
with gold than it has been for eighteen years;
and why shouldn't they be side by side in the
business of this great country
