Where is the fanatic who says that city
girls get no exercise? In point OF fact the
country girl is far behind her city cousin
In both amount and quality Of exercise.
She Is rarely a good walker, not being
accustomed TO going long distances on
foot, while girls who travel about the city
take many q long walk to save car rare
Moreover the city bred girl dances nearly
ALI the wear round, and what is this but
the best of exercise? At any rate the
fashion writer approves OF It, for Ii gives
her n chance to describe the gowns that
she loves best-the charming, dainty,
dancing dresses, which every one admres.
Whatever else they may be, they must
be dainty and light colors are always the
prettiest Brocades abound in all shades.
IL seems 10 be the fad just now to give
the colors names OF fruits and vegetables.
Thus we have tomato red. apricot pink,
apple green and others. Apricot pink is
a beautiful soft sEade which is brought
out most effectually I'm velvet. Nile green
is still in favor and looks less like blue
at night than other shades of green. The
evening rooms in the large stores are
filled with girls and their mammas who
want to see their gowns by gaslight be-
fore purchasing The soft fluffy chiffon is
not to be forsaken, for nothing prettier
was ever devised for dainty gowns than
this.
A pretty autumn dancing dress which
has the cobwebby stuff for trimming is of
rose-colored satin. Four founces Of chif-
fon decorate the skirt. The bodice is cut
very low, without shoulders. and black
velvet straps over the shoulders support
the gown suspender-like. Black velvet
bows are set around here and there on the
dress.
The gown shown above is a combina-
tion Of turquois duchess satin and paler
shade Of crepe de chine. The skirt is
Of satin, edged at the bottom with bows
OF black velvet. The overdress, draped
i'm long point back and front, is of crepe
de chine, embroidered in gold. The blouse
bodice, Of the same material, is cut low
with a fan-like ruche across the front.
Full frills Of the satin stand out over
crepe de chine puffs reaching to the elbow.

Miss Newton's Article.

Editor Times: / have read almost every
thing which has appeared in your paper
during the last few months in relation
to the Worlds Fair, but l have read
nothing so interesting and instructive as
the letter in last Sundays Times by Miss
Mary Mann Page Newton. For close
observation, clear and vivid description
accurate knowledge, elegant language
and a pleasing and attractive style. free
from egotism and personal obtrusiveness
"a rare merit, it has not been equaled
by any account we have yet had Of the
interesting objects to be seen at the Fair,
and recalls them very distinctly TO the
minds Of those who have seen them.
AS she so well says, Walking through
the grounds, IT is an epic drifting through
them on the bosom of the lagoon, it
becomes a lyric, while at night, when
the sculptured fountains are yelled in
rainbow-hued spray and thousand fairy
lamps twinkle and glance from turret.

THE sENArr,s pREpIcAMENr.

The question now thrust upon the Amer
lean people for consideration is one of
the most important that can claim their
attention, and II the view OF it entertain
ed by the obstructionists Of the Senate is
the true one, the people OF the United
States ought to know it, that they may
take such action in the premises as the
occasion seems to call for.
The case really presents two questions,
which are. however, in no way related to
each other. though the same party in the
Senate presents both. The first arises out
the silver States make the point that there
is no quorum present, and, when their
own names are called they refuse to an
swer thus being actually present for the
purpose Of claiming that there is no quo
rum, but insisting upon being the
oretically absent for the purpose
Of making 1t appear that there
in no quorum. The first ques-
ton. therefore. is whether their actual
presence is to be taken notice of for
the purpose of making a quorum when
they refuse to make their presence known
by answering TO their names. Senator
Hin certainly produced a thorough sur
prise on Tuesday when he presented the
record and proved that Senator Allen G.
Thurman, when President pro tenn. Of
the Senate. had ordered the clerk
to record senators performing that
part as present 20 constitute a
quorum. Whether right or not it
would. therefore. seem to be Demo-
cratic doctrine as far as so distinguished
Democrat as Mr.. Thurman can make
II SO. that senator present may be
counted TO make a quorum whether he
answers TO his name or not.
But the serious question TO be consider
ed is whether the Senate is powedless
TO bring debate to close and have a
vote taken when that debate is avowedly
continued. not 20 shed light upon the
matter ir hand. but to obstruct and pre-
vent vote. We have before gone over
some part of the argument against the
obstructionlsts upon this question, but it
Will do no harm to restate what we have
already stated before.
II Is to be observed that there is no
rule of the Senate heretofore adopted
which in terms permits senator's to speak
as Ions and as often as they choose, They
found their claim to the right 20 do this
on the absence of any rule forbiddlng
them 10 do It, SO far. then, as this matter
Is concerned, there being no rule AZ all
upon the subject. the case is TO be consid-
cred as standing on the same footing as
that occupied by new oody which assem-
bles to-day for considering certain mat
tiers and has TO determine for itself the
order OF procedure that it will adopt for
the government OF Its deliberations and
actions.
What is the natural course when this
takes place? The first thing done Is 10
call some one 10 the chair 20 preside
over the deliberations OF the body. By
what principle is the conduct OF thai
individual governed? He Is without
chart RUE or order. How shall he dis
shsrss the functions OF his placer The

very cornerstone OF our Jurisprudence
IA. that there Is law for every possible
case that can arise. II Il does not exist
IN the form OF statutary enactment
OF the Legislature, Il exists In what we
call the common law. which surrounds
and envelopes US on all sides like the
| atmosphere How do we find out what
that common law is? II there have
ever been judicial decisions OF the law
upon the exact facts before the court
we refer to those decisions as evidence
| OF wi at the law is. But suppose there
have been none? Then. we argue TO the
Judge TO show him that particular
course is the course called for by right
reason ard by justice. because the whole
aim OF the law is TO do absolute justice
to all, and this is the principle which
the Judge takes as his guiding one In
determining what the common law is In
the case before him. This. then, Is the
principle which is TO guide the conduct
Of every officer who presides over
new body that has not yet adopted a
code Of rules that is TO govern him.
He Is u aim at doing that which VIII
secure absolute justice TO all parties
always under this correction, that II
member OF the body thinks any particu-
lar ruling does him Injustice he may
appeal from the action Of the presiding
officer and reverse It If majority Of
tho bodv thinks as he does
What. then, is the duty Of the ofiicer
nresidine over a new body when he per
cieves plainly that fraction OF t'e
body Is pretending TO exercise the right OF
free discussion for the real purpose OF
preventing the body transacting any busi-
ness? Aiming at furtheing the ends OF
iustice. il is his plain duty either to an
nounce himself that debate is ended ana
that the House is ready for the question:
or to announce his opinion to that erect
and state that he will entertain motion
10 take a vote This is what right reason
and justice call for, and it is by these
that his conduct is to be guided. The
Senate having no rule at all for the mat
ter IN hand, 1t is therefore to be regarded,
quoad hoe. as an entirely new body, and
II is the Vice-Presidents duty, therefore
10 do exactly what he would do II he
were presiding over the deliberations OF
an entirely new body that had just as
sembled and had no rules at all.
The entire proposition Of the Senate
rests upon the ccnstitu-
tional guarantee Of freedom in debate
But the Constitution also commands the
Senate to adopt rules for its government
These two provisions must be construed
so as to harmonic with each other Ihe
senator has freedom of debate consist
ent with the Senate's right to adopt such
rules as are necessary for the due and
oIderly conduct of business, but only that.

Are the RennhIIcnns 10 Settle If2

It Is still insisted that the Democrats
are trying to get together and settle the
problem which has enwound them. The
trouble is. they may wait too long. The
Republicans are already planning to take
the question out of their hands. Mr.. Sher-
man made the direct statement on the
floor last Tuesday that If the Democrats
could not agree upon a compromise, the
Republicans would undertake the task and
would endeavor to satisfy their silver
friends This is exactly what they are
now trying to do. They say that they
have waited as long as they could be ask
ed to wait. They have everything TO gain
by the programme they have mapped out
They will show, first Of all, the inefficien-
cy of the Democrats; they will prove to
the business circles that the Republican
party is the only party which can grapple
with financial problems, and last, but not
least they will make a good political
stroke by proving friendly to silver. Mr..
Sherman. in his memorable speech last
Wednesday. said
Any other measure which will tend 10
promote the use Of silver, which will ena-
bic us to maintain ii at parity with gold,
or any other measure which will give en-
ployment to this important industry Of
our country, we are willing and ready to
hear and consider
Such measure would, the RepuDllcans
say, bring back into the ranks Of the Re
publican party the voters in the North
west and mining States who have strayed
away. and who would return If their old
party showed the slightest concern for
their feelings and opinions. For such
bill the silver senators, as they are called,
would vote, and enough has already been
indicated to the Republicans TO prove that
they would not lack for votes on the
Democratic side OF the Senate. 1t is re-
garded by the minority leaders as good
politics, and if they put their proposition
into shape 1t may cause the Democrats
some trouble.-From yesterdays Washing
