MIR CRISP DECLINES 10 BE SENATOR.

1t was a very high compliment to
Speaker Crisp which the Governor or
Georgia paid him in appointing him to
succeed Senator Colquitt in the United
States Senate without any canvass hav-
ing been made for the place either by
him or by any Of his friends for him.
Mr.. Crisp ought, however. to have had
no sort Of hesitation about declining the
appointment; indeed, we could not have
looked upon II otherwise than as his
solemn duty TO decline II. He sought the
Office OF Speaker in every fair and legiti-
mate way, defeating distinguished men
who were equally as ardent candidates
for the place. Winning such a place I'M
der such circumstances carries with it
corresponding obligations. the highest of
which is that he shall see no discredit
brought upon the Office during the term
for which he was elected. The news from
Washington now is that under the opera
ton of the terrible knock-down that the
President has given the free silver men,
they were in revenge ready TO elect Mr.
Bland or Mr. Hatch Speaker should Mr..
Crisp have resigned the place to accept
the senatorship. Neither Of these men,
nor any other extreme free silver man,
could have been elected Speaker at the
beginning Of this Congress. so that IL Mr..
Crisp should have permitted such an
event to occur during the period for
which he was elected he would be the
direct cause OF calamity Detailing the
country that could not have befallen 1t
II he had not sought the office of
Speaker.
We speak Of such an event as ca
lamity. and we cannot view it otherwise
than as a very great one. The probabih~
ties all are that we are about to have
tremendous fight in the House Of Repre-
sentatives over free coinage act, and
in that fight, II Bland or Hatch were
Speaker its passage would be enormously
facilitated. Mr. Crisp owed ii to the
Office he sought. as well as to the coun-
try, to give no aid 10 such a revou-
tionary movement by surrendering his
Office. He can wait for more propitious
occasion to seek a seat in the upper
house, and he has done himself credit
by refusing the appointment rendered
him.

Some one says that our French auto
c~,t N Worth. has decided 10 have
vonen's gowns more fluffy ard 4 msy
and feminine than ever. Mannish tailor
gowns and vests and four-in-ha.ds are
rot for US this season. We are to be
creatures Of lace and gauze, just as we
were in those old days, before we trled
our wings or even knew we had them.
As YOU please. Monsieur. We rather
like film and gauze ourselves, Tor we
have cy as well as wings and we have
learned TO use both. We don't object to
concealing our wings beneath gauze
drapery. for we have discovered that the
gauze adds much to our good LOOKS,
and does not hamper us in the use OF
our wings. We shall be able 10 soar all
the higher, and what woman is so far
removed from original sin as not to have
4 care for her appearance upon the
pinnacle Of her ambition?
After all, vanity IS not a cuipable SIN.
Il Is as natural to members or the
human race as hunger or fatigue. IN
fact. il Is a characteristic Of animal life
I'm general, as. for example, observe the
canary, which surveys his rejected image
With delight: or the peacock, that proven
bal tout ensemble of all pride and
vanity.
And IT is not for man TO set himself
up and say unto his mate: Woman,
thou art vain.' lest some ghostly ances-
tor Of his rise up adorned with wig and
cue and silver buckle and point with
scorn at the glistening tall hat and patent
leather boots.
Let us then my gauzy sisters, proceed
TO the adornment Of our persons, know
ing well that in this race for the orna-
mental mascuinity has several centuries
the start of US.
To begin with. let us have a new
spring dress. The one | am going to
describe is a light gray trimmed with
surplice of figured silk. The surplice is
bordered with ribbon. as is also the full
basque which is added at the back. over

collar is velvet to match the ribbon.
on each side Of the waist In front of the
added basque fail long ends and loops
Of ribbon to the bottom Of the dress.

The three daughters Of Mustapha have
just returned from Vassar where they
have been educated. bringing 10 Constan-
tinople with them their chums. Maud and
Marie. The girls have so praised Amer
lean customs that the Sultan and his
Grand Nizier have adopted many of them,
even in matters of dress.

COLONEL LAMBS NEW PARTY.

Colonel Lamb will fashion his platform
upon that adopted by the WING party

elected. and when the doctrines of the
party were summarized in the three
composite words, 'coon-skin," "log-cab-
