Fashions Erormities of Forty Years Ago
Seem Even Worse Now.

We know that fashion changes from
year to year, and that her freaks are often
unmarked by wisdom and good taste, but
we do not fully appreciate the enormities
she commits until time has rendered them
obsolete. A glance at the fashion plates
in magazines Of 40 years ago provokes
boundless wonder as to how men and
women ever consented to make such ab-
surd spectacles of themselves. Consump-

and wasplike waists-the latter accentu-

Neither in the old conflict over slavery. nor
In the present struggle over its twin, free
trade, has the South ever suffered from lack
OF Northern apologists. Itis without pa rticle
OF surprise, therefore, that we find the dough
face Boston Herald springing to the defense
of the Bourbon politicians whose tariff bin is
accused of grossly discriminating against New
England industry.
The Herald denies the accusation and cites
the cotton schedule of the German bill. which
has been said to be perfectly acceptable 20
New England manufacturers. To be sure
certain contumacious persons. among them
Senator Sherman of Ohio, have limited that
the real reason why so much protection was
retained In this portion of the bill is because
the south itself is heavily interested in cot
ton manufacturing. But The Herald indig-
nantly rejects this imputation as incom-
patible with the chivalric impulses of South
ern gentlemen. IL contends that the highest
duties are imposed or a fine class of goods
which Is not produced in the south 10 anv

the cotton schedule the Southern Democrats.

This Is an interesting discovery, and The
Herald expounds IL as innocently as IL IL had
never expected that the Southerners pro-
posed TO take advantage of the iniquitous and
unconstitutional protection To go into tho
manufacture of fine cotton goods themselves.
Already. In fact. mills have been established
in the Southern states for the production OF
tho higher grades Of yarns and fabrics, and
with that distinguished urbanity which 40
compels doughface admiration, our southern
brethren are already predicting that in this
line of industry they will down the YAM

necessary Ia place the cotton and the woolen

can be punished for refusing to work
Tor any particular company because
some one says he ought to.
The attempt to enforce such penalty
would be idiotic of course and the rail-

would perish OF its own lop-sidedness.
Compulsory arbitration with penalties
is great scheme, but it is not Ameri-

Senator Chandler's paper says of the
tfiff bill that the "trades are still pro-
grssing, every schedule as it Is reached
being modified to suit the ideas of some
recacitrant Democratic Senator. While

In NJ hurry about the bill, but i'm

Trades against Republican Sem
ators Tor what he calls their policy
OF delay. Having now placated all of
the Democrats on all of the schedules,
nothing remains but to give Hill his
inning with the income tax, and then to
report the bill to the Senate from the
COMMITTEES of the whole, under which
Legislative form the discussion has thus
far proceeded. the bill will then he
considered item by item, and separate
vote will be taken on each schedule"
1T Is not Of course usual to discuss at
length bills which have been reported
from committee Of the whole to the
~N~y NioSuooin5 thc piiis OuI suCu ACTION
would be justified in this instance.
The Democrats, as Senator Chandler
suggests, will howl about Republican
flibustering, but no filibustering is
necessary when even the supporters of
the measure look on it with suspicion
and distrust.
The Democrats are no more anxious
for the present measure to become a law
than the Republicans, and while out
wardly they may use pretty strong
words at any delay, inwardly they are
rejoicing and hoping that through some
accident the bill may die prematurely.
SO the trading continues and the bluff
Is kept up but no Democrat will be
likely in the future to '.point with pride"
at his partys attempt at tariff legisla-
ton in the present Congress.

BRECKINRIDGE,S FIGHT.

lntimations that come from Kentucky
point almost conclusively to the belief
that Congressman Breckenridge will be
renominated and reelected. He has
two Democratic opponents, one of whom
apparently is not much better than
Breckenridge morally; he has "killed
his man" and lived life of pleasure.
The other opponent is not seriously in
the race, and Breckinridge, by his won
derful eloquence, is fast winning back
his old friends and supporters. He is.
OF course, making the fight Of his
life, calling upon his old comrades in
arms to support him for the good
he has done and for what it is known he
can do. Hell has acknowledged his wick
edness, asked for forgiveness and is
making his appeals on the ground of a
penitent who desires to receive some
token of the confidence of the commu-
nifty.
Notwithstanding the vileness OF his
life, and his years of hypocrisy and de-
ceit, 1T would seem as though he would
be successful, and his confreres in the
House are doing all they can to aid him.
1t was claimed Immediately after his
trial that he would not be allowed TO
report the general deficiency bill in the
House, one of the most important bills.
and yet he did report that bill yesterday.
1t is now claimed that he will not be al
lowed to control tho passage OF the bill.
but this must be taken cum grano sails
for such action on the part of the House
would be child's play after permitting
him to rer,ort the bill. 1t would be
straining at tho gnat and swallowing
the camel.
Breckenridge has rightly interpreted
the significance to him OF the right TO
report this bill. The action of the House
IN allowing him so to do will be pointed
to by him to show to his people
that he still retains the respect and
esteem of his fellow members in that
body and that his reelection will be for
his districts interest.
Taking it all in all the Kentuckian
seems to be ahead in his fight, the big
scandal Notwithstanding.

A DEMOCRATIC GHOST.

The friends of the scheme TO coin the
seigniorage are now at loss for an op-
portunity to spring their pet scheme
upon Congress at the slightest provoca-
tion, and the latest attempt is the sug-
gestion to coin the seigniorage TO
raise funds to obtain control and
complete the Nicaragua Canal. 1t
Is announced from Washington that
Secretary Carlisle is to render an opin-
ion whether it is advisable to build the
Nicaragua Canal by an issue of bonds
or to pay for the construction in part
by coinage Of the seigniorage in the
treasury. This question of the charac-
ter OF the funds 10 be used in building
the canal was considered for sCme time
Yesterday at the meeting of the

Anxious to Destroy an Industry.

Boston Traveller
The latest statistical reports show that the
total supply of raw wool for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1898. was about 5as,OOo.OOO
pounds, in addition TO the importation of
about s3s,o0O,O0 of imported cloth at
the foreign value. Ii is estimate |
that the wool required TO produce
those goods was over three pounds of
unwashed wool per dollars's worth OF goods.
This would. therefore, make a total consump-
ton by the American people of nearly ESQ.,
OOocn pounds of raw wool. equal TO about ~
per cent fthe worlds supply AS the Amer
lean people are only per cent OF the worlds
population. aud as they use ~ per cont of the
worlds production of wool, the per capita
consumption is 934 pounds, incontestably the
largest of any people in the world. More than
thrcc-ffths OF our raw wool supply was fur
nished by our own iocks in 1898, and two years
more of protection would have assured home
product of three-fourths of the total con-
sumption. But the prospect of this great
internal resource was n matter OF indifference
