THE revelations before the Lexow
Committee grow more astounding every
day. To the confession of q Police
Captain that he had paid $4,000 for
his promotion, and that this was the
rule in all promotions, have been added
other developments still more startling.
The whole City Government was fester-
ing with corruption; police blackmail-
ing was universal the highest officials
Judges, Police Commissioners, and others
Of similar rank-were recognized pro-
tectors of houses of prostitution, gam
bling dens, resorts Of thieves, etc. Po-
lice Justices were notorious toughs, en-
gaging in saloon brawls, ballot-box
stufing, and Matchmaking; and Tam
many has had the most absolute control
Of the saloons and brothels, which it has
used for its political purposes. If there is
an even fairly honest, decent man in
the whole gang, he has not been even
limited at yet.

| NEED OF THE SONS OF VETERANS.
The history of every day demon
strates in some. way, but always con-
clusively, the need of powerful organi-
cation, the maintenance and incubation
Of the lofiest principles of loyalty and
patriotism. 1t is the greatest necessity
now before us. eternal vigilance is
the price Of liberty" This Government
can only be maintained and carried
forward in its glorious career by the
steady, persistent, even aggressive asser-
ton of the duties of loyal citizenship.
The occurrences of last Summer exem-
plifed this most alarmingly. They were
the first real signs Of the possibility OF
this country ever relapsing into an
Empire. Monarchical writers have con-
stantly predicted that that would be the
end, and have fortified their predictions
by citing the history of the Republics
of Greece, Rome, and France. That an
obscure man, of most ordinary ability,
like Debs, should rise up, and upon a
fimsy pretext make all the disturbance
that he did, was exceedingly alarming
to all lovers of their country who dreaded
what might occur in the near future,
when some demagog of commanding
ability would appear, take advantage of
some crisis, and attempt to become the
Cesar of the American Republic.
The only security against such cat
astrophe is the steady, forceful insistence
upon loyalty to the principles of our in
situations. We must have the duties of
American citizenship constantly kept in
view, and enforced by precept and ex-
ample.
This calls for the wide extension Of
the membership of the Sons Of Veterans,
and the building up of the Order into
position of commanding influence. No
other organization can possibly have the
moral power that it will have. The fact
that man is the son of veteran places
him at once before the people in
way not possible to another. 1t is as
sumed at the very outset that he can
not help being true, patriotic American,
that he has had lessons of pure, self
sacrificing patriotism instilled into him
from the moment that he could under
stand the meaning of words, and that
he stands ready, should dire occasion
demand it, to devote himself as unspar-
ingly to the country as his father did.
1t is felt certain that he is one of the
plain, common people, who are the body
and soul Of the country, belonging neither
to the vicious, dangerous rabble on the
one side, nor to the selfish and scheming
aristocracy on the other. He is man
who is doing honest days work at what
ever he is engaged, caring for bis family,
obeying and supporting the laws, and
earnestly striving to make the country
better and more prosperous.
Any one can see Of what incalculable
benefit to the whole country would be
an organization of 100000 of such
young men.

TIE startling part of Admiral Wal
ker's report, which the Senate has COM
PEELED to be at last given the public, is
the revelation Of the extent to which
British intrgues had gone against Amer
lean influence in Hawaii and the Repub-
lican form of Government. Mai. Wode-
house, the British Minister at Honolulu,
had been at that post nearly 80 years,
and had constantly and persistently
struggled to make British influence
dominant in the country, as against the
American. He was an aggressive sup
porter Of Queen lii. The Republican
Government felt so sure of its ability to
maintain itself that it desired all the for
eign men-of-war to leave its waters, so
that it could not be said that it depended
on them. The various commanders
agreed to this. The japanese man-of-
war left for Korea, and our vesseI-the
Philadelphia-received orders to sail
But Maj. Wodehouse retained the Brit
ish ship there. As soon as it was ascer-
tanned that he intended to do this, Adj
miral Walker did not deem it prudent
to allow the Philadelphia to leave, and
her orders were countermanded. Adj
miral Walker gives the best of reasons
for his course, and it is reasonable to
believe that if he had not done as he
did the British would have overthrow
the Government and made Hawaii vir-
tually a British colony.

other thin vapory afternoon gown with
a velvet bolero so small that it is. cut

mere rudiment of jacket, one of the
numberless devices of coquetry, to va

over brown that had such a little jack

aulettes embroidered over with ecfu. 1t
was ravishing. There was brown

rosettes on the sailor hat.
Such little jackets-braces one might
almost say-are made also of black or
white guipure, and are useful in a
wardrobe to put on when a little extra
elaboration is wanted in the toilette.
The lace should be heavy, approaching
almost openwork embroidery, to have
most effect possible.
vARIEGATED ROSES.
One of the good ideas of the season
is to ningle together in the same gar
menlt many ti1lts of rose. Thus a ball
grown of pale pink crepon has crepon
rosettes and flowers in tints and shades
running from white down to deep red.

Simple Practices Which Have
Brought Sleep to Sufferers.

Sleeplessness, which not only steals
away the flesh and damages the COM
plexion, is a. terror that now aff1icts
every household.
Time was when the Titans of thought
and those diseased in mind and body
were thought to have a monopoly of
this i'll. Nowadays the veriest slip of
womanhood is heard to complain, 81
passed such night didn't sleep a
wink
Let me enumerate a few of the sim
pie methods by which, to my knowl-
edge, sleeplessness has been effectually
dispelled without resort to powders and
sleeping draughts.
By undressing in the dark, all light
being a stimulant, and by placing a
rubber bag of chopped ice at the lower
extremity of the spine. This means of
exercising sleeplessness is practiced by
many of the fashionables of Paris and
has recently been adopted by some of
the women of Boston.
By lying in bed with the muscular
system completely relaxed, the body
sprawled out, and with no pillow save
a sort of miniature Turkish bolster
which is placed in the hollow of the
neck.
By taking brisk walk followed by
a hearty lunch the last thing before
retiring.
By sponging oneself over several
times in tepid water just before get
ting into bed.
By placing oneself on the face of the
body instead of the back when in bed :;
obstinate cases of insomnia have been
cured by establishing habit of sleep
ling in this position. Pressure is re-
moved from the spine and all func-
tons appear to work more normally
and easily. Little children and in
fants take this posture instinctively 1
heard a physician of note say to a
friend of mine: It am glad to know
that your little one sleeps on his stom-
ach. An excellent habit
Propping up the knees with a stout
hair pillow is another means adopted
by some women to coax sleep to their
pillows.
The concentration of the mind on
respiration, while breathing with per-
feet regularity and some exaggera ton,
often makes one drowsy.

PERUGINI WOULDN'T SING.
Did Miss Russell Make Fun at Hi
Expense in a. Love Duete

Expense in 81 Love Duet:
The audience in the Columbia theatre
in Brooklyn at the performance of
irofe-Girofia" by the Lillian Russell
Comic Opera company on Saturday night
was deprived of the pleasure of hearing
the love duet at the beginning of the
third act because Sig. Perugini declined to
go on. Ever since the announcement of
the GOODNESS between the fair prima
donna and her husband was made, the
love scenes between the pair on the stage
have been extremely painful for Perugini
ana extremely amusing for the audiences.
MISS Russell, however, has regarded her
scenes with her husband as huge Jokes
and her treatment of Perugini on the
stage has been as amusing to the rest
OF the company as it has to the audi
ence. On Saturday night here was big
crowd at the Columbia theatre, and Miss
Russell, who was In a hilarious mood
kept them in fits of laughter by her pc
culiar emphasis when her lines Compelled
her to tell her husband how much she
loved him. Perugini was evidently very
uncomfortable during the first two acts.
and when the third act came he positively
declined TO sing the love duet with his
wife, declaring, it is said, that he didn't
propose to be made laughing stock for
the audience. All sorts of arguments
were brought to bear on the tenor, but
he was obdurate, and the performance
went on from the point where the love
duet ends. During the rest of the play
Perugini acted with a self-consciousness
which even made the audience uncomfort-
able.
There were awful rumors around yes
terday to the effect that Perugini had
whipped Miss Russell's representative
when that astute young man became too
persistent in his endeavors to get him
to sing. Neither Peruglni nor his wife
could be seen yesterday, and the mem
bers of the company had nothing to say
