The circus is coming. Already slscri- tous advance agents are agitating. Already the pictured gloriss of the greatest and the most moral show on earth present them selves to the pleased sight of the populsce. And already the small boy has begun to exercise his skill in fnanciering, because he knows that 1t will cost fifty cents to see the show. So he will economize, engage in industrial pursuits or speculate in the hope of having the fifty cents when he needs 1t. He would issue bonds, as the big fnanciers do when they want to raise money, but he is afraid they wouldn't sell. People want to lose more than fifty cents when they buy bonds, secured by large part of the earth and splendidly signed by prea- ident and a secretary and treasurer. They wouldn't look at the bonds of small boy who wants to go to the circus. They pre- fer to help fill the coffers of some big boy who runs @ financial circus of his own with the money of other people.
 The circus Is, we suppose, about the on. ly thing which Is satisfying in anticipation and satisfying also in realization. Of course there are carpers who scan tho pre- liminary pictures with 8 critical eye and and if they find anything missing In the show that was promised in the pictures they feel that they have been defrauded. But fortunately the multitude are ! not carpsrs. They enjoy the pie | lures for month before the show, and they go to the show with their minds in state of unorit. ical joy and their pockets full of friendly and festive peanuts. They get the full worth of their money, and they feel that whatever discrepancy there may be be. tween the pictures and the show is mort than made good by the crowds, the dazzle
 the gayety and the corpulent amplitude oi amusement which the pictures give no hint of. So those who go to the circus in ths true circus spirit are abundantly satisfied | Those who do not would do better to stay away and give fifty cents to some poor but deserving youngster who is not unftted l by nature and culture to have what used to be known ss bully fun.

THE REPUBLICAN LOBBYISTS,
 The Hartford Courant lifts up its power full voice against the domination of the Republican party of Connecticut by Re. publican lobbyists who have uaed theil connection with the party to fat up their pocketbooks, and who have already begun to plan for more power in the party and more plumber by means of an increase of their power. The Courant tells the plain truth when it says: This Is apparently 6 Republican year, but it will not be, or cer- tsinly will not have Republican years suc- ceeding 1t, If the occasion is seized upon for the purpose of lobby and plunder by legislative marauders mssquerading under the guise of Republicans. The State of Connecticut has had its dose. The State house stinks. We are diecredited by our own noses and eyes.
 It is not particularly startling fact that there has been e meeting of Republican lobbyists to plan for control of the State central committee, the State convention and the legislature. It is not even sur prising to those who know what has been going on. It Is but natural incident, significant of condition of things which needs general and persistent attention. Prominent Republicans, leaders in the party, have found profit in the lobby. They have misused their places and their power in the party for the money which has been the reward of their trea- son. And instead of going out and hang ing themselves they are perfectly willing to hang the party and divide among them sslves what the corpse will bring. But the party cannot afford to be destroyed by these Judsses who. with the price of trea- son in their pockets. prate of their love for and their loyalty to the Grand Old Party--the Grand O:d Party by the be- trayal of which they Ioftily live, msgnifcently move and have a boun- teous being. They must be shaken off If the party is going to be respectable or eelf respecting. They are corrupt and corrupting. Their exam pie Is evil and their prosperity pernicious. Shall such as they be given complete con- trol of the party this year, when it is for the deepest interest of the party to show that 1t is a moral party and that 1t knows how to govern wella And shall the party do right or do wrops2

There are very few signs of diminu- ton of elaborate shoulder effects. and the woman who brides herself in keeping in advance of the fashion must learn to seize upon such advance signs. One of these consists in the cutting close of the top revsr to coats, the sleeves escaping from under 1t only hsnds-breadth away from the collar and extending in flat folds straight out on line level with the shoulder to an almost impossible distance. The rever just below ia cut very wide and lies out sgainst the side of tie arm about on level with the bust line, and often slanta from this outspresd tip very slowly to the belt line, giving an effect of immense breadth just across the bust line of the figure. The shoulders of most new gowns do not droop, but set out square and level, and then round down, reaching 6 still wider horizontal at the bust line. They do not slope from the collar to this widest line by any means.
