and waved ribbon lines and knots in
blue, holding up festoons of yellow

broad blue 1noire ribbon, and worn
over a bodice and petticoat Of white
chiffon, yelling tea rose yellow silk.
The bodice is almost covered with filmy

at the waist butterhy-shaped bow of

diamond buckle, the long ends falling

selection of a hotel or the purchase Of
one thing or another. This fact is
well understood among the tradesmen,
and quite a competition has arisen
among them for the good word of the
gentlemen in uniform. Some of these
men are quite well acquainted with the
leading men of the nation, and have
won for themselves almost a national
reputation.
It is well known that when special
trains are wanted for whole parties it
is always insisted that certain conduc-
tors shall be chosen to run
them. Benjamin Harrison has his
own favorite and the Vanderbilts have
one also. James Buckley, President
Cleveland's favorite conductor, has
taken the chief magistrate out of New
York on many occasions, but he is also
in high favor with the Astors, whose
train he runs regularly whenever they
go on a voyage by rail. Sarah Bern
hardt is particularly devoted to one
man in the service in this country, and
when he is sick she requires recon-
mendation from him before any man
can run her train. Henry Irving
usually left the selection of his hotel
to his conductor when our land was
new to him, and so on throughout the.
train service. One way in which
regulations are thus won by conductors
is the fact that they are never wrecked
or meet with accidents. Buckley and
his confreres owe their prominence in
no small degree to this fact.

the sale of the book in stores and on

it is. His intention is to have some
few OF Boards pictures framed and
hung upon the walls of his magnificent
library.
Beard is still in the prime Of life,
and is one OF the few American artists
to strike out in distinctively original
field. His studio is quaint storeroOm
of all that is unique, and although this
observation is more or less applicable
to artists studios in general, it can be
applied to his par excellence. Beard is
now at work upon pictures for book,
which, in the fame of its author and
the unique nature OF its subject, will
eclipse in popular interest the now cell
ebrated effort of Mr.. Astor. But Beard
is most discreet artist, aud it would
be impossible for anyone to get from
him anything like notion of what the
coming book is about.
The imaginative faculty is the one
thing which seems most needed to
make successful artist, but SO far 10

York until Dan Boards rise to fame.

The Political Revolution.

There has been no such political reyolu-
tion within generation as that Ut the past
year. We have had action and reaction
before. but no such cyclonic change as
this. Eleven months of unchecked Cleve-
landism and Democracy have produced the
greatest revolution OF our time.
This, too, with only scattered and frag-
mentary elections. If there conld have
been general national contest, massiDg
the expression of the whole country, the
effect would have been intellectually deep
ened. As it is, the sweep is more signi1-
cant than anything the present generation
of voters has ever seen.
Go back to November. Massachusetts,,
which had elected Democratic governor
year after year, surged with the Republi-
can food tide of 80, 900. 1t has never CIV
en- such Republican majority but once
ssnce the one sided Grant-Greely contest of
1872. Leaving Maynard ont of the ques-
tion and looking only at the straight polit-
ical issue, New York elected the ReDubli.
can Secretary of State by $4,000. New
Jersey, moss-grown in its Democracy, as
tonished itslf with q Republican Legisla-
ture by o majority running through the
State Of "a, 900.
Ohio swept in Mckinley by e0,000-far
away the biggest figures since the war.
Chicago wiped ont Democratic lead of %
900. Wayward Kansas broke its false
idols and returned to it's old time Republi-
canism And now, three months later,
with Democracy made still palmer through
the Wilson bill, the very centre of Tam
many bound New York elects Republi-
can congressman. and Pennsylvania buries
Clevelandism under an avalanche of 1885,
900.
This is not merely reaction-it is pretty
nearly annihilation. 1t is not simply Re-
publican revival--it is Democratic dissolu-
ton. 1t means that. if there were Presi-
Dental election to-day, Cleveland would in
the North and West be entombed under a
landslide Of nearly q million. 1t means
that If there were general Congressional
election to-day the Democrats would
scarcely choose forty representatives north
of Mason and Dixon's line.
In q word, 1t is volcanic upheaval; it
10 political reconstruction; it is hot wrath
against general disaster already suffered;
1t is flaming protest against impending
and continued calamity; 1t il revolutionary
and deep seated disgust with Democratic
incapacity and imbecility. Have the
wreckers at Washington sense enough left
to heed itf-Press.

Washington Notes.

On Thursday the House was seena oi
turmoil; Bland could not secure a quorum
to consider his bill; the Sergeant. at A rms
was sent ont with warrants for the arrest
of several members.
On Friday new start was taken and
Mr.. Bland in his effort to close debate on
his imitation bill at 5 o'clock next found
himself two short of quorum. The
Honse seemed to think that it had done
enough work for ons day by undning the
wretchej work of the day before, so a re-
cess was taken until o'clock, wher the
regular Friday night session for considers
tion Of bills on the private calendar was
held.
In comparison with Thursday the scenes
OF Friday were mild as q midsummer

called that body to order and read COM

son OF Tennessee. as Speaker pro TEN.

the turbulent scenes Of Thursday were
not to be repeated. Mr.. Richardson made
very good REGARD while chairman of the

and was able to keep his Democrat COL
leagues under control, q task in hich Mr.
Dockery failed misrrably.
While the proceedings were compare
tivelr quiet they were not devoid of sensa
tional features Mr.. Bland made one of
the most extraordinary speeches ever heard
on the floor Of the house. 10 was n terri
BILE arraignment of his own party for their
incompetency and what hr declared to be
their neglect of duty. He compared those
who on Thursday rcbelled against The uu-

that the man who would throw bomb
