"The joliiest kensington of the year" was
the way one young woman describedD the

divinely, as did Miss Van Kuran, while Miss
Curtis gave one or TWO piano numbers, in
addition to furnishing the music for the
dancers.

The round of Kensipgtons card parties and

perfect forms of social entertainment The
guests are usually congenial, tue host and

which is infinitely preferable to standing

glittering covcntionalitics that awe 40

Their Feet We Know Them"

A man may be known by the shoes he
wears, and when one sees a fine appearing,
durable pair the wearer is generally put
down as a good Judge of style and comfort.
Many people have an idea that any lind of
a shoe is a shoe-but there is a vast differ
ence just the same.
In conversation with MIR. Wilcox of tho
Frank Wilcox company he said that this Is
a fact, but added that the great majority of
buyers are pretty fair judges of footwear
and are constantly seeking something new.
Yes said Mr.. Wilcox, there are very
many new things in gentlemcn's, as well as
ladies fine shoes. Although the strictly dress
shoe has been, and will continue to be, as plain
as possible, the plain London toe, patent
leather congress shoe, with a plain silk top,
is essentially the proper dress shoe for gen
tlemen. Any attempt at ornamcntatlon,
either on the tops or toes, makes street
shoes out of them. The newest street shoe,
however, is the long wing tip patent leather
and the tive-button piccadilly both are
right.
''Cloth tops continue in favor with ladies.
| The newest street shoe has a Baltimore
edge, with narrow, square toes and wrinkled
vamps, either button or lace being proper.
The five large buttons are n specially just
now in great demand Some very elegant
| new things in party satins are out this sea-
| son, but the incest little shoe of all is a
| misses and child's pink, blue or white party
slipper that is entirely new and fills a long
felt want"

The first Of tho series Of monthly rccitaIs

IL the results which were obtained at this,
the first recital, may be accepted as an
earnest of those that arc to follow
and from the experience of past seasons, the

ter of musical history in Omaha that Mrs.
Cotton's pupils always sing well many of
them brilliantly. Improvement is always
noticeable at these r~ccitals, and this one
was no exception. All the pupils did re-
markedly well, and Mrs. Cotton has every

THE LABOR UNION LINE.

The primary purpose in view when
labor unions were first organized was to
protect working people from the Gu
croachments of employers. To resist the
power of capital in their oppression. To
raise the price of wages, reduce the hours
of labor and generally amelierate the con-
dition of the toiling masses.
These objects were praiseworthy. Kept
within the bounds of these domains labor
unions were benefit. Of course the
capitalists and corporations interested in
and dissatisfaction. But the working
people secured many advantages through
their organization. And the high wages
that have obtained in the industrial cir
Giles of the United States are not the result
of the system called protection, but OF
the labor organizations which have pre-
sented a solid front against the aggres-
sicns of the protected employers.
This has been effected in spite of the
Importation of cheap labor from abroad.
There has been no tariff on imported
laborers. They have been free raw
materials, y very ''raw,' some of them.
by which the protected capitalists have
been able, to some extent, TO keep wages
from rising beyond given mark. The
unions have been effective in keeping
working people together so as to defeat
largely the endeavors to beat down and
cheaper labor.
But gradually the means intended to
maintain the liberty Of labor have been
diverted to bring about its oppression.
One of the chief present purposes of
unions seems to be the government and
regulation Of their members and con-
certed action against non members In
this turks source Of danger to society
and OF injury to the organizations them
selves. If this policy is pursued it will
not be long before the consequences will
be found unbearable, either by the COM
munity or by the union members them
selves.
Slavery to an association is little if any
better than bondage to a man. In
dividual liberty is the purpose of free
government. That is, the greatest practi-
cal liberty of the person compatible with
the general welfare. Whatever curtails
this unduly is in the direction of serfdom.

! zvADA's BOUNDARY LINE.

The survey of the line between Caiifor-
MIA and Nevada, which was alluded to in
this paper several weeks ago, has been
commenced. A party of scientists and
surveyors is engaged in the work. OBJ
seryations are being taken for longitude
In the neighborhood of Lake Tahoe.
The precise angle of the imaginary
lines which meet on the lake has to be
determined. A straight line is drawn
from the meridian at the Colorado river
near the Needles to Tahoe The other
comes from the meridian which marks
the boundary of Oregon. The exact
angle formed by these lines must be
ascertained before the boundary lire be-
tween the two states can be defined.
California claims strip of Nevada that
will take in most of Lake Tahoe and
slice off the southwestern part OF the
Sage brush state from the Sierras to the
Arizona line. The crest of those noun
tains will have to be traversed and the
observations and surveys and their veri-
fication will probably take two years to
complete.
Ii California gets what she claims to be
her due Nevada, already in the dumps,
will not be improved by the transfer. 1t
may turn out, however, that the bigger
state has already too much land. If SO,
Nevada WILDE corrsspondingly enriched
and obtain some prestige if not much ter
ritory.
Utah has no particular desire to recover
any OF the land which was severed from
her domein out of which Nevada was
formed. She is big enough as she is and
wants neither slice off Nevada nor to be
joined to her. If there is any Partition
to be made of the state which has fallen
off SO much in products and popula
ton, let Idaho have piece and California
the rest, and leave Utah to work out her
high destiny without any annexation or,
as Colnel MERRITT would say, Improper
connubiation.

..DEAD1Y HOSTILITY" TO liver.

Alleged Republican papers keep peck
ing away at the Presidents message as
proof of his s'bitter hostility to silver,'
and some of them find fault with THE
HERALD for disputing their private in
terpretations. But they do not make a
solitary quotation from the message in
proof of what they assert. If the mes
sage denounces silver and shows that the
President wants to ''utterly destroy' the
white metal, it will be easy to cite the
particular parts OF it in which this ''hos-
tility" appears.
THE HERALD does not agree with some
of the arguments used in the message and
has freely criticized them. But 1t has
failed to find in it that deadly hostility"
which pretended Republicans declare it
expresses. If it is there, draw ii out and
hold it up so that we can see it!
The message has been summarized as
follows: Its principal statements were
That the SHERMAN silver purchasing
act is largely to blame for the existing
business depression.
That the United States cannot longer
maintain the parity of gold and silver,
with the present purchases of silver in
definitely continued.
That the wage earners are most affected
and therefore most interested in the re
peal of bad and passage Of sound financial
laws.
That Congress, on which he places the
responsibility, should act at once.
That the revision OF the tariff, though
pledged by the party, must wait until the
financial question is settled.
In conclusion, the President recon-
mends the prompt repeal of the SHERMAN
law.
We are not attempting to uphold the
Presidents views on these points. We
simply wish to show in brief what his
message contains, in order to combat the
error that it is utterly and uncompro-
misingly opposed to silver. Many strong
bimetallists agree with him that the first
and most important duty is to clear away
the underbrush OF the purchasing clause,
and that the question of the coinage of
the two metals can come after, the way
being thus made clear for its settlement.
We have not shared in that opinion.
We believe that it is for the interest of
the silver cause to hold on to the existing
law, poor makeshift as it is, as hostage
till something better is secured. But that
does not imply that those who take a
different view are 'nncompromlsing enc
mics of silver. -
And how can those papers that make
out of the message ideally hostility to
silver, y harmonic their notion with the
Presidents declared desire to maintain a
parity between gold and silver, and his
explanation that one of the chief reasons
for stopping the silver purchases by the
government is its disturbance OF that par
ity? The fact is they manufacture for
partisan purposes the enmity they fail to
find, and thus show their own hostility to
the truth.
