WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. July oath, 1884,
Growers Epistle to the Free Traders
still holds its own as the most absorb
ing subject of conversation now before
the Washington public. 1t was bad
taste and an outrageous assumption OF
authority for Mr.. Cleveland TO have
written that letter and it only aggra-
waited the case when he compelled Mr..
Wilson to read it as part of his speech
on the floor of the House; but there is
no denying that the letter has had, at
least partially, the effect it was in
tended to have. It has made it certain
that the House will never agree to the
Senate amendments 10 the tariff bill,
because, as Senator Hill significantly
such agreement would
merely result in getting the bill vetoed.
1t has had another effect, however,
which it is certain was neither expected
nor intended by its writer. 1t has
wrought sufficient number of Demo-
cratic Senators to control the Senate,
with the help of the solid Republican
vote, up to publicly declaring that they
would refuse to vote to accept any
conference re..ort that puts upon the
free list any article upon which the
Senate amendments placed a duty.

THE SAGGING SKIRT. Even the
plan of using fancy pins to hold the
skirt and belt together at the back does
not work always satisfactorily. A
very pretty woman has a number of
belts that completely overcome the
skirt difficulty. The belts do not al
ways match the skirts by any means.
She usually has a stock and belt to
match, however. The belts are made
either of muslin, lincn, silk or ribbon.
and in the middle Of the back piece
OF the belt ribbon is ruff1ed on to the
lower edge of the belt for about three
inches each side of the point exactly
marking the centre of the back of the
belt. This can be caught to the skirt
at the corners with a couple of pins.
and not only concsals the entire strip
where the skirt says and shows the
dress belt under that of ribbon. but it
is rather ornan entail as we'll, and the
woman hasn't any patent on the idea,
which originated in her own brain.

Mr.. Cleveland's alleged arguments
in favor of the sugar trust and of the
Whitney Nova Scotia coal syndicate,
in which all the world knows the
money of his closest, personal and
political friends is heavily invested,
have greatly weakened his position and
added to the chances for non-action on
the tariff bill. Everybody knows that
Mr.. Cleveland's friends put their
money into that coal syndicate solely
because he assured them that free coal
was certainty, and, although it is not
absolutely known, there are excellent
reasons for the belief that other friends
of his have obtained options on certain
Cuban iron mines upon assurances that
iron ore was also to be free.
Middletown transcript., 1894-07-28

Did some Democratic Sena ors COM
NIT perjury when they swore that they
had never purchased stock in the sugar
trust? The direct charge has been
made that they did, and the Senate
committee has reopened the investiga-
tion and is again taking testimony. 1t
is keeping the testimony very dark, too,
members of the committee claiming to
be afraid that its publication might
result in preventing the committee OBJ
tanning important evidence. 1t is
rumortd that at least one witness has
sworn to having seen a. written order
for the purchase of sugar stock, which
was given by Democratic Senator
and is now in existence, and to have
told the committee in whose possession
it is. The gossip concerning this
matter has been very much enlivened
by the statement that certain parties
who had been snubbed by certain
Senators proposed to ''get even" by
the evidence to make case
of perjury against one Senator, in
order that the whole business might be
brought out in court. There is little
doubt in Washington that perjury has
been committed, but there is very
much as to whether it will be proven.
If written orders for the purchase Of
sugar stock are in existence it is more
likely that they will be used to control
senatorial votes than that they will be
produced before the investigating

That is just the way the thing stands
at this writing. The House will not
accept the Senate bill, and the Senate
will not accept the House bill. Now
the only change that can take place
must involve the surrender of either
the, House or the Senate. 1t can be
snrmised, without any great risk of
making mistake, that Mr.. Cleveland
will be able to prevent any surrender
on the part of the House, and as the
Democratic Senators who added the
protection amendments to the bill did
SO because of pressure from the states
they represented, it would seem that
they might be counted upon to stand
firm even if they were not strengthened
by their hatred of Mr.. Cleveland, not
only because of the insulting manner
in which he refers TO them in his
letter. but also because of the manner
in which he has tried to boss his party
in Congress aye, an succeeded, too
from the day on which he became
President. Still, if there is break in
the lines of either side it is believed
that it will be on the part of the
Senate. The Republicans are playing
the part of onlookers at the contest,
but they are by no means disinterested.
On the contrary, they are so much in
terested that Senator Aldrich has
asked all impaired Republican Senators
to be on hand and to remain within
call until the tariff is in some way dis
posed of. The Republicans wish to
accomplish one of two things-prevent
any tariff legislation, if that can be
done; otherwise to aid in getting as
many of the Senate amendments as
possible in the bill that finally gets
trough.

New YORK. Aug. 12.- How true is
the old-time saying that time has wings.
Only the other day, it seems, that we
were thinking and wondering what to
wear for the spring and the summer
while now here we are in August, and
looking forward to the new fashions for
the fall, and soon, too we shall be busy
getting out the warm and cosy-looking
coats and gowns for the cold winter
days.
Directly new season starts. il is
almost surprising how quickly one be-

will be. Redfern's special novelty this
season, as one is always sure of some
thing there very special.

one goes you see numbers of these cool,

and delicate shades and colors. white
being the most prominent of all. Very
soon. however, these and the many
pretty muslins and crepons also will
have to be laid aside. L dare say with
many regrets of the dainty wearers, and
no wonder. for really very great addi-
tion to beauty are these pretty, himsy
toilets in their numerous delicate shades
Of pinks, blue and pale heliotrope, be-
sides hundred and one other colors.
All these. however, will be very speed
lily forgotten in the lovely light cloths
that will replace them.
Simple, smart tailor gowns composed
of light Melton cloths or Cheviot tweeds
will be much In demand for the fast
coming season. These materials are in
a variety of beautiful and attractive
dark shades, one special one being
rich, deep moss green. This is sure to
be much favored, and with old gold
velvet trimmings and gold embroidery
makes a charming combination.

this winter. A close-fitting gown have
