 Personally I have reduced the choice of 0 dress to a science. I deliberate and think a month when fate is kind enough to al low me new dress, calculate and look at all the fashion plates and get tho exact quantity of material required solidly fixed in my mind, and then go to the store and walk straight to the counter where my dress lies waiting looking neither to right nor left, and when I get there generally find that the woolen dress goods depart 1nent has heen moved up stairs or down or somewhere else. This has the effect of unbalancing my mind, but sometimes l do reach the proper place before spend all my money on something else When do get there without mishap, ask for what l want, but generally end the matter by letting the saleslady decide for me, and that relieves me of all responsibility when I got home and sit down to think it over. But by wearing only black and gray do not go so far astray.
 That reminds mo to say that where woman has limited time or means it is great saving of nervous force, also money, to choose out one or two colors and have every new article to correspond in color with them or to be suitable contrast. Gray, brown and black make the best foundation colors. Then gloves, hats, everything can be made to harmonize per fectly and gain for the wearer the reputa- tion of being a thoroughly well dressed woman. Different shades of gray or brown worn together are always pleasing and show refined taste, and it is such a relief.
 The wearer of one chosen color can be always in fashion, though others may run after new idols in tho shape of novelties in color because she has set fashion for ber- self. She shows n distinct individuality that bears its stamp, and some of the best drcssers we have never wear any other col or than the chosen one, though often diff ferent shades give variety. Why should it not be soS Birds never change their plum age, flowers never discard their tints, and why should not woman be as individual? The sensible ones are.
 The new goods show many novel crepon effects in wool, and I think they will re tain their popularity for several seasons One of the prettiest is drab wool crepon, with very deep crinkles formed of finer crirkles, all perpendicular It hangs in tho richest and most graceful way. This peculiar weave is seen in 10 shades and colors. Everything in tho way of silk and "fancies'' comes in 10 colors some of the very incest having five shades of each col or. The gray and drab crepons are indo scribably soft and dainty. There was a costume Inalc of biscuit crepon, which was matlo with stiff lining to the skirt. Around tho bottom was fiat moirc rib bon to match. which gave touch of bril-

CREPON DRESS AND GOWN OF FIGURED SILK. ruffies, formerly obtained by lace, are now achieved by floating ribbons. remember one new imported gown that l saw this week. It had regular founce 15 inches deep formed by floating ribbons, each two headed by a rosette of the ribbon and these were placed close together all around the skirt. No costume appears to have been thought complete without more or less ribbon on it.
 There was another crepon dress on view that ladies may like to copy. This crepon was two toned drab and mignonette green, with the drab ridges uppermost. The skirt had fiounce scalloped out on the top under narrow heading. The rest of the flounce was of drab silk muslin embroid cred in an old fashioned pattern with white silk in hamburg stitch. shoulder cape was wrought in the same manner and material and was draped down in front like a tucker. A large bow made of plain silk muslin was set on the back of the neck, so that the ends showed in front giving the wearer the effect of wearing pair of gossamer wings The lady of fine taste would omit this bow. The sleeves were bishop shape with upturned cuffs of embroidered silk muslin. A rich sash with bows of wide moire reached to the bottom of the skirt. The ribbon was mignonette green. This same model carried out in any of the pretty colors would be hand some. The embroidered flounce could be replaced with lace one, or one of taffeta glace in the shade of the underlying color of the crepon.
 The beautiful new silks with their small but perfect figuring are being rapidly made txx., fAf I,tIf ful styles In fact, almost every style this season will be unusually well chosen and adapted to the enhancement of the beauty of womankind. One gown of figured silk, recently imported for a model, had plain skirt with no trimming except fold of the same turned up on the outside Across the front was wrinkled drapery of the same kind that was so popular four years ago, and which bids fair to be quite as popular this season. The back breadths were laid in deep fan plaits.
 The silk was of black ground, with soft messy green figures. The waist was round and almost covered with white va lcnciennes lace and collar and vest of green satin of the exact shade of the fgur- ing. This was edged with a fancy passe- menterie, with trou trou trimming of mar row black velvet ribbon. The inevitable ribbon trims the neck and belt and matches the green. The sleeves are droop- ing gigots and have the wrist portion slit and stiffened and turned up as cuffs. l would like to call attention to the fact that nearly all the new gowns have cuffs of some sort or other, and tailor made cos tunes will almost invariably be worn with white linen cuffs. I saw some of these made with vandyke points, these points being scalloped with white floss. Collars deep and wide can be worn with them, or narrow and standing collars.
 In the latest fall millinery there are many things that we can give unqualified praise and many others that we can say much against. The horrible, close Marie Louise bonnets are shown, but do not think tie time is ripe for them. A few

MILLIONS LOST

The south is sufferer to the tune of
millions from the low price of cotton.
The cotton grower is in the same fix
thatsthe northern farmer is in. Prices
are ruinously low for the products of
the soil, and this ruin has been caused
by unwise, not to say positively villain
Gus, legislation. The attempt by the
last congress to increase the value of
the dollar, by limiting the circulating
medium, has had the natural effect of
paralyzing our industries and striking
fatal blow at production. No other
result than disaster to the farm and
plantation can be expected while our
financial legislation is in favor of the
banker and the creditor and against
the people and the debtor. That fact
is as plain as the sun at MONDAY, and
yet political campaign has just closed
in which the platform and partisan
press were ablaze with declamstions
upon the tariff question, while the
money question was ignored as if it
we're of no consequence whatever.
While the south is groaning under the
loss of s1O0OOOOOO on her cotton and
the north is suffering correspondingly
because of the wicked assault of con-
gross upon our circulating medium.
the bank-ridden, capital-enslaved, stupid
or "ornery" politician is mouthing over
the tariff. When the congress of the
United States shall give decent and
honest recognition of silver as money,
the farmer will get something for his
products, and when he can get money
he will impart Yigor to our sleeping
commerce; and never while the world
lasts will prosperity come to the masses,
to ths degree TO which they are EMIT
led, as long as we suffer the goldbugs
of the nation and of Europe to force
down our threats their thievish none
taTy policy.

THE SOLID NORTH.

The partisan press IS rejoicing over a
solid political north, but yet has moth
ing but contempt and abuse for a solid
political SOUTH This is carrying incon-
sistency to an absurd extent even for
inconsistent, bitter psrtisanship. This
everlasting arraying OF one section
against the other is worse than folly;
and it is regretted by the masses of
both sections who earnestly wish to be
friendly and fratersel. It is che med
ding, selfish, almost reasonable poll
tieiaB who keeps, or tries to keep, the
fires of hats burning. The north is
anxious to sell its products to the
south. and the south seeks the patron
age Of the north. The interests OF both
are mutual Why not let common
sense and business interests govern!
Why permit the politician to make it =
business to SOW or attempt to SOW the
seeds Of discor5? The north has the
right to vote jast as it piesses. It has
the right 70 vote soiidly as has pretty
nearly done, i It chooses So has

THE Rocky Mountain News says that
a syndicate is scheming to obtain con-
troll of the silver market and dictate
the price of the metal to all silver using
countries. A conference was held in
Denver last week, it is said, at which
there we're present many prominent
miners and shelters. One report is
that a syndicate, backed by John D..
Rockefeller and the Rothschilds, will
obtain control of the shelters in the
United States and Mexico and arbitra-
riiy fix the price of silver regardless of
the supply and demand. Another re-
port says that the proposition is to
have the silver of all the smelters
handled through one man or agency.
There would be a saving to the smelters
of possibly quarter of a cent an OUNCE
having it handled by one man instead
of half a dozen or a dozen. bat the
main object would be to prevent sud
den sfumps in the price of silver.

the BOND ISSUE.

More bonds said Wall street and
the bonds we're forthcoming. Some
time ago it vas seen that if the gold re-
serve was kept up to the slOO,OO0DOO
mark another Issue Of bonds must be
made. 1t has now been made and still
the reserve is below the limit.
There is q movement among the big
banks of the east to drain the United
States treasury of its gold. Since silver
has lost its power as money, owing to
the fell stroke dealt il at the last ses-
sion Of the national legislature by the
combined efforts of Republicans and
Democrats, silver, as well as gold ceFti-
ficates are redeemable in gold. Even
the silver dollar can be taken to the
United States treasury and its ex-
change for gold he had. The big money
holders who get control Of millions Of
silver and gold certificates take them
to the treasury of the government and
exchange them for gold. In short
time the reserve is below the limit.
The secretary of the treasury issues
bonds and the gold that is just drawn
out buy them. In the course Of time
the money exchanged for the gold has
to be paid out by the government and
the bankers get it and again exchange
it for the gold, the reserve gets low, an
other issue of bonds is made, and the
same gold that bought the preceding
issue buys the last. And so it goes. A
neYer-snding chain of prosperity for
the bankers and a never-ending chain
of poverty for the government and
those who pay the bulk of the taxes
the poor. This beautiful condition is
only one feature of the gold basis.
How foolish it is, and how plainly
foolish. Already bonds to the amount
of slOO,OOO,0O0 have been issued in the
past year and still the reserve is $780,
100000 short. To float these bonds
they must be discounted, and interest
also paid on them, so that out of the
100000 the government really gets
only about 100000. The rest goes
to those who have money to buy bonds
with. It's a very nice investment, it's
safe and just what the bankers want,
for at any time they can take those
same bonds to the secretary of the
treasury and get national bank notes
issued for 30 per cent of their face
value and still continue to draw inter
est on the bonds and loan out the bank
notes alsO-and the poor man pays the
freight.
If silver was coordinate with gold
this state of affairs would never be.
Then the treasurer could pay out sill
yer and gold at his discretion and there
would be no reserve to worry about.
That is only one of the benefits of
the silver coinage. For besides that
it would more than double the circu-
lating medium, double the price of
products and labor, redeem the debt
burdened homes, do away with tramps
and the unemployed and put this ma
ton again on the road to prosperity.
The way, and the only way, to stop
this issue of bonds, is for the people of
the United States to put in power a
party in 1896 that will enthrone silver
as a money metal. The only party that
will ever do this will be the Peoples
party, and the events of the coming
will bear out this statement.
