When leader like Mr. Edmunds de-
tends the Mckinley tariff in this way
and on this ground, and attacks the re-
form tariff as made in the interest of
the foreigner, there is but one conclusion
lowed his lead, would reverse the course
of legislation and go back to the essential
principle and policy of McKinleyism. The
party could not do that. 1t could not
turn back the hands of the clock. But it
would do as nearly that as it dared. And
that is what the Republican party makes
the issue in this campaign.--N. Y Times

If the anti trust law, passed at the last
session of Congress, applies to anything,
it applies to the Sugar trust as at pres
ent constituted and operating. And in
trust who refuse to answer questions, it
would be a good idea to bring the trust
itself to account for violating the laws
of the land.-Boston Post.

With Li-Hung- Chang suspended and

a Sassafras Tea.

To convert the common place into
rovel and pleasing effects ls the height
of art.
This thought is Occas0ned by the sug-
gestion of clever girl that a sassafraS
tea would be one of the very prettleSt
Spring-time entertainments.
The nnrtlstic mind, to which pTIm-
rose by the rivers brim is a primrose and
nothing more, would poOh-hoOh the sas-
safras tea as "tackg" and hOluely at
fair, for this mind sluggishly runs i'll the
same Old ruts of stale entertaining and
begs from all new things. good Lord de-
liver us.
The artistic mind grasps the sassafras
tea as an insp ration, ripe with charming
possibilities. The pink tint of the tea
gives the Keynote Of the decorations
and menu. The table should be ar
ranged with snowy linen and scarfs of
pink silk gracefully disposed. Slender
pink vases should be filled with the fra
grant saSsafras blossoms: the delicate
pink tea should be served in cups of
fragile white chlna-and the menu
should consist Of shrimp or lobster
salad; sandwiches Of pink ham between
snowy bread, cakes iced III pink, pink
bon-bons, strawberry sherbet, aud sip
of that r0seate liQueur, Parfait Amour.
When the sassafras blooms again, let
the lovely hostess give a sassafraS tea as
an attractive something new under the
sun.

FRUIT FOR LONDON.
Forty-fve Thousand Packages From

New York, august 15.-The
pioneer fruit train, which marks
the renewal Of shipments Of Cali
fornia fresh fruits direct to London
by train loads, arrived ahead of
time on Monday night. Soon after
sunrise this morning $4,000 pack
ages weighing $50 tons Of the lus-
cious products of the Pacific slope
had been slowed away in the re-
frigerating compartments of the
American line steamship Paris,
which will carry them to South
ampton, whence they will be trans
ferred by special train to London.
When a reporter Of the United
Press visited the Paris yesterday
he found the compartments her
metically sealed and the refrigera-
ting machinery in full operation.
The compartments will not be
opened probably until next We'd
nesday morning, one week from
today, when the Paris arrives at
! Southampton. The process OF re-
frigeration is the same as that OF
| the manufacture of artificial ice.
/ The fruit sent to the boat yester-
day was OF various kinds, but Bart
lett pears predominated. 1t was
all in excellent order, and shippers
are confident that it will arrive in
London in good marketable conIi-
/ ton.

Their orders has not been fulfilled,
and consequently autumn and
winter bid fair to be extremely
dull. The yards are admittedly
busy, but the prices received have
at no time since the revival been
particularly good, and just now
they seem to have about reached
the dividing line between profta bic
and Improbable working. The
troubles of the shipbuilders are not
lessened by the demand for D per
cent. advance on piecework rates,
which, being anticipated, served to
stay very materially the improve
ments in the trade. The vessels
launched during the month num-
bered 43, and of these q, represent
ing 23,945 tons, were steamers, and
Is, representing 1875 tons, sailing
ships. The aggregate of 44,oO2
tons is the best of any month since

the total is 142,774 tons against
1O4,777 tons for the same period of
