Chnmoi. Under Jaclxet.

Ladies' tailors are making up very
lightweight cloths for Fall and Winter.
The corkscrews, cheviots, serges, whip
cords and covert cloths are not any
heavier than French delaines. These
selections are made for the express pur-
pose of giving a tailor-dressed woman a
suit that she can wear constantly and be
at all times and under all circumstances
superior to her outfit. The old style tailor
dress was a load Of cloth that only the
strongest could carry conveniently. Now
a laoy's cloth suit Of three pieces weighs
considerably less than mans Summer
suit. TO supply the necessary warmth in
cold weather channels vests are ordered
for every outfit These under jackets are
worn under the waistcoat. They are
high-necked. long-sleeved. glove-flting,
wash like rag, and cost $40.

M'KINLEY's APPEAL.

The people who elected Grover Cleve-
land and the present Congress decided
in favor Of tariff reform and tax reduc-
ton.
When Congress set to work to carry
out their declared will and to give effect
to their verdict against the evil OF Nc
Kinleyism, the Republicans raised an
cutlery against the wickedness of dis
turbing the tariff laws and thus upset
ting the business of the country. The
depression of trade, the paralysis Of
commerce. the stoppage Of mills, the
scarcity of work and the suffernRs Of
the laboring classes were all laid to the
charge of tariff agitation, and not to
the unjust law which sought to further
encourage and enrich trusts and monop-
olies at the expense OF all other inter
ests.
Now. the policy of the Government on
the tariff question has been radically
changed in conformity with the peoples
wishes. In place of high protection for
favored interests. we have an equitable
adjustment of duties for the equal pro-
lection of all. The measure OF reform is
not as full as could have been desired.
but II is enough to emancipate labor. TO
equalize taxation, to relieve the poor NJ
unjust burdens. and to force into assess
ment the wealth of rich tax-dodgers.
And now comes Mckinley. the parti-
san of trusts, corporations and monopo-
lies; the oppressor of labor for the bene-
fit of favored capital: the champion OF
taxation for the poor and exemption for
the rich. with an appeal to the people.
for what?
For renewed tariff agitation. For n
disturbance of all that has been settled.
For another change OF policy that will
again plunge the country into agitation
and uncertainty.

aside the new tariff policy. and go back

1t is to be regretted that the accom-

some Improvement In that respect, and
the Board OF Education deserves COM
mendation for the energy 1t has dis
played in providing additional facilities.
But these are still Inadequate. and the
doors will be still closed against some
thousands OF children. Notwithstanding
the Improvement This ought not to be.
While we expend large sum OF money

we are to those of more interest and

NEW YEAR SCHOOL BEGINS.
Teachers and Scholars Meet After
the Long Vacation.

The streets Of New York were alive
this morning with well-dressed, bright
feced little peoTle trudging sturdIly
schoOlward. After "A vacation of two
months these young people turned with
happy hearts to the school-room and
their books. ON almost every street
corner could be seen groups OF these
youngsters specializing as to whether
the new teacher would be as amiable or
as severe 40 the Old one.
The teachers themselves seemed to
relish their return to work, and In almost
every school before the hour for the
assembling Of the scholars they could
be seen discussing the pleasures OF vaca-
ton days. But there were many alb
sentoes among the teachers, and instead
of elciting tears or expressions of re-
greet, the memory OF those absent ones
only brought out knowing smiles and
mysterious winks They were the VIC
tins OF Cupid, who surrendered at dis
erection during the Summer season. As
the Board of Education does not per-
NIT married women to teach, they were
compelled to sever their relations with
the schools. Supt Jasper said that
there were between forty and fifty OF
these fortunate young women.
The same opening exercises were per-
formed in each school. After the read
ing of the Scripture the principals, in
many instances aided by one or more OF
the school trustees, formally opened the
class rooms. Then for an hour the
usual school routine work was trans
acted and the scholars work for the
year begun.

men have been employed daily, even In

Supt. Jasper said to-day that all these

when the school machinery would be
running as smoothly as Of yore. He
said he could give no details concerning
the appointments OF school ,',lncipnls OF
teachers until after the meeting of the
Board Of Education. which takes place
this week. There will be an increased
attendance, he says. of about ten thou
sand pupils. The number of teachers
is about Ave thousand, and the salary
list will amount to about 3,450000.

MONTICELLO, Ia, Sept. 1O-The an

ment OF the Iowa National Guard ended
last night. The regiment was to break
camp this morning, but about $50 of the
milltiamen did not wish to stay In camp
all night and about II o'clock made a
rush through the line. About sixty OF
them succeeded In passing the guards.
They made raid on the suffers stand
of the town.
Col. Mahin sent a detachment OF 100
guards In pursuit, who met them In

at first refused to accompany the

were pricked with bayonets they sub
mitted, and We're taken back to Camp
Davidson. 1t Is expected that the dis
graced militiamen will all be discharged.
