SKINNER'S VETERANS.

They Had Their seamy Side. But the
Enemy Had Never seen IL.
OF the brave old confederate officer
who lately died, Maj. f. q. Skinner.
Gen. Beauregarl used to tell an anus
ing story. Prince Napoleon and Count
Mercier. with their suite, had been
visiting within the confederate lines
during our civil war. and riding along
the Fairfa turnpike near Centerville,
Va. they came upon Skinner and a
body of southern veterans, expert
mcnting with some new tactics. Skin
ner left his men in charge of a junior
officer. and approached the party.
lie had been educated in France I'M
der the patronage Of Marquis de La
Fayette. who was an old friend of his
fathers. and Prince Napoleon. who re-
ceived him warmly. made some remark
about the soldierly appearance of his
troops. just at thatmoment, as it hap
peHed. an evolution brought the men
into such position that they turned
their backs upon the distinguished
visitors. The poor fellows had been
through hard campaign and uniforms
were too expensive 70 be laid by for
small cause Their trousers showed
the worst effects of their usage. being
generally worn through and un-
patched. The prince could not re-
press smile as his eye ran along the
line of big and little holes. But Maj.
Skinner was equal to the emergency.
With characteristic French wit. he
said. with gesture toward his men:
"Messieurs, vous voyez la In partie

core vue. ct j'espere ne vera jamais.

A SPURIOUS CLAIM.
The Income Tax Measure Purely Dem
cratic.

The report has become current
throughout the west and northwest
that the populist delegation in con-
gress claim to have forced the adop-
tion of the income tax amendment to
the Wilson tart 7 bill.
No more unjust claim was ever made
by any party or party people. The
democrats acted independent of both
populists and republicans in preparing
and bringing forward this measure.
They had voted enough of their own
and to spare, and Notwithstanding the
claims made by Mr.. Simpson, of Kan
the lower house of congress, the evil
dence Is all against any snch action
being taken by the democrats at the
suggestion or at the forced dictaticn
of the populist deleg alton.
On the rollcall of January 5, TO
adopt the rule, against which the re-
publicans filibustered, the record
shows that all the populists in the
house. instead of voting for the rule,
filibustered. except Bell, who voted
for consideration. Page 537, second
session, Fifty-third congress. On the
second rollcall Bell refused to vote,
but on all other votes on that measure
that day Bell voted with the demo-
Gratis.
On the following day, the same or
der of proceeding was continued, and
al, the populists were filibustering. as
shown by the record. pages 81, SIS and
545. On the Sth of January, page sos,
1t is shown that the rule brought in by
the committee on rules. was adopted
by a vote of 100 yeas, to no nays. not
voting, 16l. OF this 1871, the following
populists appear: Baker, of Kansas;
Bell, of Colorado; Bowen, of Mime
sofa; Davis. of Kansas; Harris, of Kan
sas; Hudson. of Kansas; KEN. OF Ne
braska; McKeighan, of Nebraska.
Pence, of Colorado; Simpson. of Kan
sas. making solid populist vote against
consideration for the bill. 1t is there
fore conclusive that the democrats
were able to shape the character, as
well as the time for consideration OF
this measure, independent of the pop
ulis is vote, under the leadership OF
Mr. Simpson. The populists' vote did
not force the attachment of the income
tax to the bill, as claimed by them.
Tile bill was reported the last of De
cembPr. Wilson gave notice in Decem-
Der that he would call it up on the
first day of the session after the holt
days. He gave that notice December
81. On Friday. the 5th of January,
1894, rule was reported. They fiji
busterei on that rule and it was not
adopted until the sth. The bill was
taken up on the sth. The income tax
was not reported until January 20.
The bill passed on February 1. The
truth is that Simpson and the other
leaders of the populists refused 70
vote the same as did the republicans
AMI tilibustered, and they refused
on the very vote on the sth that
lopted the rule. The rule was adopt
cd without their vote, on the sth OF
January. 1894.
The income tax measure is purely
democratic measure, demanded by the
south, as a measure of relief for the
southern states. With more than one
third of the whole population they
will pay less than three twentieths oil
this tax.

LEGISLATION ON THE TARIFF,
Democrats Dodging the Promises of Their
Platform.

Platform.
The democrats in congress make
poor showing as apologists. They con-
tinue to assert that if they had the ma
jority necessary, no concession would
be made in the present tariff law, to
the high protective demands but that
1t is impossible for them to frame a
strictly revenue tariff. because they
lack a sufficient majority. Let us see.
They have majority of 80 in the
house of representatives. Is such
majority sufficient? Any reasonable
man would suppose such to be the
case. If 90 could not accomplish the
work, how could they expect it to be
accomplished by twice that number?
In the senate there is clear working
majority, independent of populists and
republicans, but the populists have
been uniformly acting with the demo
Gratis, so that on all tariff questions,
they have been able to show a clear
majority in favor of tariff reform, of
from eight TO twelve.
When the Mckinley bill passed in
1890, il was by a far different majority,
the republican vote being 1874 for the
bill, with l42 against the bill, II not
voting, which was O strict party vote.
OF the 81 not voting, Is were demo-
Gratis and were republicans, so that
the Mckinley bill was passed by
strict party majority of %, and yet the
democrats in the :house, with strict
party majority of 30 claim that they
are not able to have their own way.
The Mckinley bill passed the senate
by party vote of 40 republicans to 20
democrats, and was finally agreed to,
being the report of the conference
committee, by 80 republicans to 27
democrats. so that in the senate. on
the passage of the bill, there was IL
majority, and on the conference report
there were 0 majority, a less majority
than the democrats have had at any
time SO far in the proceedings in the
senate on the Wilson bill Such
apologies as these only show the
weakness of the party who give cur
rency to them.
The secret of this confession of
weakness is found in the fact that the
democratic party to-day, dare not do
what they promised the people to per-
form in 1892. Let the people send
their protest against this high-handed
inquiry. which slxulks behind a ma
jority competent to repeal the force
bill against the united protest of the
republican party, but cannot keep its
pledge in the shaping of an industrial
law.
Better kill the bill.

HOME MARKETS.
Farmers Receiving New Light on an I'm
portant Question.

Farmers Receiving New Light on an I'M
portant Question.
There are so many reasons why the
farmers should encourage manufactur-
ing that il seems like work of SUPERB
rogation to dwell on its Importance.
Every farm that finds market within
radius of fifty miles for its product
need not allow anything to waste, for
all can reach this market without d
great outlay for transportation. The
farmers are just now lightning to
realize that these manufacturing
estab lishments, dotted all over the
great states of Ohio, indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and eight or ten other western
states, brought to them their best Gus
toners, and that they were not able to
estimate truly its value until these
markets were ruined by closing these
manufacturing establishments and
leaving those who were their former
consumers out Of employment and
without means with which to buy the
products of the field. The question of
freights is beginning now to be thor
oughly understood. New York and
Liverpool are of little value to the
shipper in Iowa or Minnesota, pro-
vided good factory town, like Mil
waukee. or Minneapolis, or st. Paul
las grown up within score of years,
to take more than dozen steamships
would carry to foreign seaboard.
The Wilson bill might be very aptly
called bill to increase railway freights
and kill home markets, or better-a
measure for closing factories and leav-
ing the consumers co become public
charge

DOLABELLE'S LETTER.
A Chat About Charming Gowns
Worn by Stylish Misses.
Extravagant Simplicity Seems to BE the
Prevailing Fad-Some Pretty Costumes
Seen at Recent Weddings and
Graduation Exercises.
Especial New York Letter.

iSpeclal New 1OTk IetteTsf
This is the time of lovely summer
fashions for girls. the month of com
nencement gowns, bridesmaids and
coming-out costumes, outing suits, and
dreamy summer goods.
Those dear girls are always well
coined by the dressmaker. Their inn
mature forms need only the simplest
draping. Waists, as a rule, they have
none, and whether they are tall and
angular, or short and plump, they will
look fresh and girlish and individual,
because they are at that golden age
when their IDEAS are beginning to bud.
Their mothers let them have their own
sweet wills because 1t takes the re-
sponsibilities from their tired shout
ders, and the dressmalxers have not be-
gun the process o. molding. So the
ingenue has her way, and the fresh
ness and be. uty OF her toilets are mar
wells of good taste. / do think that the
women of the twentieth century will
be an improvement on anything we
have ever seen, if we may judge by
these young girls who have just stood
up in solid phalanxes of beauty TO re-
ceive their diplomas. There was not
much to judge them by except their
beauty and clothes. for there were no
essays on the problems of life, and they
did not look either learned. or intel
lectual, or wise, behind banks of roses.
I have attended one graduating class
after another, several coming-out par
ties. and numberless weddings just to
see the clothes and tell other girls who
were not there what was worn. And |
have discovered something > neck

can, for once out of the happy days of

Yes, l know, I'm not preaching
only advising. Let me tell you, there
is rage just now for pink and black,
and | attended a wedding at Grace
church last week where the maid Of
honor wore pink satin gown with
black Leghorn hat covered with pink
roses. She was the brides sister-a
miss of fourteen-and looked very
charming, but little odd, or perhaps,
might say, quaint. Black is not often
seen at wedding. but since then l
have noticed the prevalence of pink and
black in fashionable circles, and only
yesterday saw pink null on young
girl, which had black satin sash and
bows while the trimming was narrow
black lace inserting run on in rows.
The hat with this costume was white
with pink roses and black lace. Per-
haps royalty has set the fashion. A
foreign fashion journal announces in a
late issue:
"A chaming little toilette was worn
by Princess Alexander, who is just six
teen. 1t was pink Vallxyrie brocade,
with alternate MORE and plain stripes,
the latter diversified by tiny red roses.
The skirt was plain, and the low bodice
and sleeve were pulled and draped with
pink and white chiffon. Over it sne
wore cape of silver-gray miroir velvet
shot with pink. and bordered with lace
stitches, and the high collar was com.
fortably finished with ruche of gray
ostrich trimming"
The elbow sleeves and round neclSs,
half-low, seem to have given way to
the leg -of-mutton sleeves for misses
even in the hot summer weather, and
for distinguished social occasions.
Shoulder capes of white cloth or
MORE with fichu ends are worn by
young girls as are also lace capes made
on foundation of silk.

feather stitching in silk, makes a
