skirts which are not draped will be

skirts are not going TO be tolerated. a
band of trimming 10 relieve the plain

thing. Panels are also coming in again.
and we shall see skirts made up in sec
lions as they were a few years ago, before
the advent Of the bell skirt. Sleeves are

almost reasonable. This may possibly be

with velvet revers. These revers terminate

HUNTER THE FtEND

| All Of our people who are old enough
to recollect the events Of 1864 remember
the barbarous and damnable raid nv

brutal execution of David Creigh. and his
| burning Of private property along the
| course or his march. But ii made our
hearts again hot with Indignation when
We read yesterday the extract in The
Times from the Chicago Herald giving
the account Of the burning Of Mrs. Jack
sons house, as related by the Indiana
pols corporal who very credi,ably wished
10 return TO Mrs. Stonewal jackson the
Bible he took from her house at Licking
Ton, when he set it on fire in June. 1864
HOW Is It possible human beings could
have made war as this man describes
this incident? lie says that he was de-
tailed with squad to burn Mrs. Jackson's
house. That when he reached the house
Mrs. jackson and her family were at din
ner That under Hunters orders he turn
cd them out OF doors and In one hour
the house and all its contents were ashes.
Hunters cruelty and ferocity. as shown
IN this act, equals the infamy Of the
Anarchists Of Paris or st. Petersburg
What possible excuse could even a nend
give TO the devil for burning Mrs Jack
sons house? Her glorious husband had
been long under the sod: she had no son
In the Confederate army she was simply |
helpless widow with an infant in arms. |
What could prompt even demon to burn
up this poor woman's house and house
hold effects and turn her and her in
fant out in the road TO beg and starve?
There was no possible view OF the case
that could cause such an act to bring
advantage to the side OF the burner. II

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: Colonel William NJ
| Singerly announces in his Philadelphia
! Record that he has neither time nor
taste for serving the public at salary"
| and that the reports Of his intention to
| be the Democratic candidate for Governor
| Of Pennsylvania next fall are viewless
air and the mere waterbrash Of invention.
Mr.. Singerly's decision is to be appauded,
and his talents can be more useful 10 the
Pennsylvania Democracy by his remain
ing in his present place Of adviser and
harmonizer. In time, doubtless, the exer-
else OF those talents, and the growth OF
harmony so inspired. will make the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor Of Penn
sylvania a more coruscating cinch than il
appears in the light Of the late election
for congressman at large.
New York World: When election
frauds are committed al Troy, or in this
city, or I'm Indiana, or in California, they
must be punished and prevented if popu-
lar government is to continue. The World
is for reform. and it believes that the
place to begin reform is at home.
New York Times: Lord Rosebery's
Ministry. though as yet it is Of a few
days, is full Of trouble. IL is in trouble
with the Irish members and with the
English Radicals. The latter trouble is
not very serious, since Mr.. Labouchere |
has but nine thoroughgoing sympathizers |
in the House Of Commons. The former |
trouble is very serious, indeed. since there !
are seventy-two Irish Nationalists I'm the |
House, and the detection Of little more
than half of them would destroy the Min
isterial majority. We do not count the
nine Parnellites, because they are a very
bad lot They do not represent anybody
but themselves and the Irish criminal
classes; they are in politics for revenue
only, and they are really the Helots who
may be pointed 10, with much plaus-
bility, as furnishing proof that ireland is
not lit to govern herself. The answer to
this contention is that. after all, the
Helots constitute but one-ninth of the
Nationalist, or Irish. representation OF
Ireland. They may be trusted TO do all
that they can TO embarrass any British
Government. They did this for Mr.. Glad
stone; they will do il for Lord Rosebery. !
They would be quite pOwerless, however.

THE BRAZILIAN FIASCO.

The collapse Of the Brazilian revolu-
ton or rebellion, or whatever other Off
cial designation it may receive, ends ono
Of the most sensational fiascos that even
South America has furnished for some
time. When we think of the sound and
fury with which it was ushered in, and
with which it for some time occupied the
stage, and then think Of its so speedy
and abject failure, we are tempted to
ask:
IF it were TO be so soon done for,
We wonder what it was begun for?"
II is not to be presumed because we
have news Of revolution in any part
Of South America that there is, therefore,
any occasion for revolution. So far
as South Americans are not mongrels,
they are Spaniards and Portuguese, and
there is something in the nature Of the
Latin races which seems to make them
incapable of understanding rational lib
erty, or Of ever attaining to that condi-
dition and self-control necessary to stable
and enlightened government. 1t is clear
to US that their defect is in their nation
al character; has descended TO them from
the slavery Of old Rome. The Teuton was
savage, and a fierce one, but his in
stltUtions, such as they were, encouraged
the independence of the individual. to Sc
cure which he provided the trial by jury.
In Rome the State was everything and
the individual nothing Men owned as
slaves other men in no way distinguish
able from themselves. The habits of
subserviency and loss Of all pride were
thereby bred in the people, and the char
acteristics Of a race, which finally led
to the decay and obliteration of Roman
still stick to the people that
Inherited them, and show themselves on
Every suitable occasion.
We are disposed to think that there |
vas merit upon the side of the Brazilian
'evolt, so far as there can be merit in |
my movement in South America, where |
he body Of the people are Indifferent to
heir government, and revolutions are in
he main. little more than intrigues Of
ne set Of Adventures to GUST another
ct. But we believe that the Peixoto
government is an unadulterated military
ominion. as oppressive as its needs or
ihms call on it to be. But the people
re so indifferent about the matter that
o large volume OF cosmopolitan interest
I either side arises. The people Of Bra

In the first place let us examine into
the meaning Of the phrase its a DANCED
bad thing, this fooling with the people"
Eliminating the intensive DANCED which
is probably only the reporters euphonstic
substitution for something much stronger.
and stating the proposition abstractly,
we find that this politician from Graves
end, who had stood behind his chief in
the latter's defiance OF law and order
stated as his sober second thought his
conviction that lit is a bad thing to fool
with the people"
Now, in the mouth of Boss McKane's
heeler the word bad did not convey any
idea Of moral iniquity. He used the word
simply to convey the notion of an unde-
sirable or Objectionable condition. What
he meant to say was that he considered
1t a piece Of bad judgment, pad business
politically to fool with the people. the
word fool" being used in the sense of
taking liberties with the liberties of the
people. Thus we may more clearly ex-
press TO the world at large The idea of |
