made little tour the other day in
search of spring millinery, and was
just in time to see two members of the
-Four Hundred buy their spring bon
nets in the millinery department of a
Twenty-third street dry goods house.
Why shouldn't they9 Oh, it hos been

nets, for such they really were. One
was brown Italian straw with
punches of black Russian violets in
front, fishbow of black satin loops
flaring on one side and n stand-up row
of small velvet loops at the back. 1t
was simple, but the style was elegant,
and the price thirty-five dollars.
The other was yellow braid
trimmed with small upright tips of
ostrich fibers and gold. The orna-
ments were balls of jet and gold and
there were great oriental rings of gold
combining punched loops of velvet.
This was twenty-five dollars. Both
shapes were the new bonnet form,
which is like a turban With strings.
The Panama straws are in again.
There are yellow Panamas and white
ones. / saw some that were faced
with black satin under the brim and
trimmed with the crazy satin loops so
much in vogue and punches of violets.
There are all kinds of fancy lace
straws and fine Neapolitan or chip
peaked crowns, with open straw brims
The English wall>inghat is boat
shaped straw with dent in the
crown. The new sailor is long instead
of round and is trimmed with high
bunch of violets.
The cabechons are bonnet shapes,
no larger than your hand They are
of jet, knobs and spikes.
Ribbons are not "in" this season for
trimming, except the wide ones for
Alsatian bows. Big buckles of steel,
jet or silver are worn on hats, but
theyare laid lengthwise of the brim in
stead of up and down.
Among novelties are the sleeveless
silk waists, with rows of lace inser-
tion running across the front. 1t only
takes yard and a half of silk to
make one of these, as the back of the
waistcoat can be of old silk. One I
noticed was of blue surah There were
five rows of lace across the front-one
in the collar, two in the belt. The
price of the garment was three dollars.
The new shirt waists are of fine pink
or blue chambray solid colors, with
shoulder rufiles and big sleeves. These
are $3.50 each.
In regard to gowns, l heard an au
thority say recently that If woman
could only have two gowns year she
should let one of them be tailor-made
then she would always be dressed like
gentlewoman.
The improvement that tailor-madt

marked, and it carries with it, as the
result of skilled labor, an impression
of extreme elegance.

SUI GENERlS KANSAS.

The patriotism of Kansans is phenom-
email. No matter what ism he advocate
how unreasonable it may strike his COM
patriots or persons outside of the state,
it is a fact that he believes it be to the
honor, glory, or profit of Kansas. He
also has the courage of his convictions
and never dreams of modifying Or aban-
doning his pet theories because they
may be looked upon with disfavor or
condemned by anybody any where. The
Kanssns views may be crude and i'm
practical, and no doubt they often are,
for in that respect they do not differ
from other mems opinions elsewhere,
but he, himself believes them and hav-
ing the courage openly advocates them.
Since the territorial days we have had
no ism as unpopular at the time, nor
which secured such determined oppoSi-
ton, as her free state doctrine, but that
opposition to her pet theory made no
difference in the opinion of settlers IN
Kansas, and in becoming free state
she set the pace for the Union at that

IT HITS THE OTHER FELLOW.

An income tax has much to recon-
mend it. 1t is paid by those who are
able, and falls largely upon those who
will never feel it. The talk about per-
jury is nonsense. The receivers of large
incomes are at present the most inveter-
ate tax evaders in the country. An in
come tax once fully established would
be collected as fully and uniformly as
the internal revenue tax, and no one
complains of that. Indirect tax is col
lected out of all proportion to the ability
of the payers. Income tax is not un.
popular with the masses, although the
classes affected would have it so appear.
Many European countries derive large
revenues from this tax. and there are no
complaints of its evasion.
The trouble with This tax seems to be
the fear that accumulations of capital is
in danger of being obliged 10 bear its
share of the public burthens. We NAV
lose some mean-spirited Americans. as
1t is threatened they will take up their
residence in Europe If that is true.
they will jump from the frying-pan
into the fire; but it is only threat that
is unworthy of consideration. Let a
fair income tax be levied, and then COL
!ect it-the consequences need not be
feared.

NO UNCERTAIN SOUND.

1t has been stated in a number ol
papers recently chat Editor Hoch of the
Marion Record had pronounced himself
uncompromisingly in favor of woman
suffrage and would demand the incor-
poration of such a plank in the next
state Republican platform. Mr.. Hoch
denies the allegation in plain terms as
will be seen from the subjoined extract
from the last issue of the Record, and at
the same time expresses some most
timely and Wholesome patriotic Repub-
can JUNCTION. He says:
"The editor of the Record will do
nothing of the kind. We are In favor
of woman suffrage because we believe
that it Is right, but we do not believe it
would be wise for the Republican party
to make it party issue, nor do we be-
lieve it would be good for the suffrage
cause for it to do SO. The great work
before the Republican party, this year, is
the redemption of Kansas from the grip OF
the Socialists and Anarchists into whose
it has fallen, and this great is
sue should not be clouded by any un-
necessary contention of any kind. Re-
publican success, this year, is of i'm
mence Importance to every interest OF
the state. We are tremendously IN
earnest in this matter, and wish to be
clearly understood"

The history of tariff reform as it is
being worked will be mighty interestin'
readin' when it is completed. There was
the multi-millionaire, Tom Johnson, for
instance, who pleaded eloouently for
removing the duty from steel rails, of
which he is an extensive manufacturer.
but who is protected against all colnpeti-
ton by twenty-odd patents on the pro-
cess of the manufacture of steel rails
And, then, there is Reformer w. C.
Whitney who secured the retention of
the duty on soda ash, in the interest of
the poor washer women of the country,
but it tra.nspires that philanthropic Mr.
Whitney is very extensively interested
in the manufacture of soda ash. And so
it will be found all through the list.

1T MUST COME OF ENVY.

If few plain facts could be known to
the east it would be of infinite value to
Kansas. First, there are no soup houses
or charity organizations among Kansas
farmers. While the cry goes up from
the populous districts that men, women
and children are starving and thousands
are dependent upon charity for bread,
there is bread 10 spare-even bread to
give away by the provident class of our
state. 1t is a mystery we are unable to
solve, that instead of showing the fair
ness TO investigate these things eastern
people prefer to believe the old chestnut
about the starving and destitute poor Of
Kansas. 1t seems to be a vertiable
bugbear in the brain of every one
east of the Missouri river, that
the people of Kansas are necessarily
poor, and nothing seems to afford great
er pleasure than to circulate the SANDER.
People come in by every train, filled
with these superstitions, but go away
with a complete change in their estimate
of the country. The only solution is
that mean quality in human nature
which prompts us to club the reddest
apple, and to keep down by calumny
and falsehood that which we cannot de-
feat by the simple truth.
Another fact which, would that we
could rub under the nose and shout into
the ear of every man who thinks we are
poverty-stricken, is that the farmers
of central Kansas are loaning
money, and are buying land
and making substantial improvements,
all of which costs money which comes
from the surplus after defraying living
expenses. That we have an improvident
class. and few who are poor is not to
be denied, but where is the state or the
county which has none? 1t is conserv-
ative and truthful to say that the farm
ers of the central or grain belt of this
state are prosperous, and practically as
independent as any class of people in
the whole country. Let our traducers do
their worst. and misrepresent us as they
will, our people need none of their help.
If the sad scenes of prIvation and want
could have q ray of Kansas sunlight,
and If the hungry thousands knew of
natures bounteous provisions for sup
plying daily needs, there would be less
prejudice and a greater immigration to
Kansas,

A WEARY OR WONDER, WHICH.

In times like the present when the
financial system of the country is at
sea, with no one able, apparently, to
guide the craft clear of the breakers, if
some one could point a way out that
would commend itself to the judgment
and confidence of the public, he would
grave his name high above the caroding
effects of human jealousy and the
erosion of time. Thus E. Hill. an author
on finance of local note in Chicago, has
writ book in which he details the
means by which the government may
conduct the banking of the country,
prevent bank failures and financial
panics, allow per cent on long time
deposits, loan money at 4 per cent, and
from the profit of banking gain an an
nual revenue to the government of
nearly s40O,O00.OOO per year. Mr.. Hill
is no doubt fully persuaded of the
feasibility of his scheme, but how to
convert the public and the financial
physicians of the country 70 it will be
the rub.
