The persons who have opposed worn-
an suffrage on the ground of the great
expense OF providing voting costumes
for the women argued better than they
knew. Word comes from Topeka that
100 or more of the ladies of that city
have adopted a style for voting costumes
which thet are all pledged to wear on
election day 1t is to consist Of Turkish
trousers covered by a skirt, a close or
loose waist as the wearer may prefer,
and cloth 1eggings to match the trOus-
ers. 1t is too bad that the ladies have
taken this course, for if they persist in
adopting a costume qualification for
voting it viii deter many Of their sex
from exercising the inalienable right of
suffrage for which they have striven SO
long The Lowest cost at which one Of
these COSTUMES can be obtained is said
to be $40, and many women-or their
husbands-wi1 not be able to afford so
large an expenditure 1t is to be hoped
that the ladies will reconsider their &C
ton Of adopting a costume qualification
for voting. Pomona lCal- Progress

had small, dilapidated house The in

began the houses had to be enlarged and
were finally replaced by good buildings

purpose than the accomplishment of
the purposes and interests of the race
track gang, and that other members Of

he did not know much about law, but
expressed himself as thinking that the

court were the merest farce, and that
he proposed 10 follow the dictates of
his conscience let the consequences be
what they may. The pretense OF these

lican principle of Protection is applied
for his benefit:
"Wheat is touching the lowest prices
on record. This simple fact may lead
to grave consequences. First it is to
be noted that it is the spectators and
not the farmers who are, generally
generally speaking, losing by the recent
fall in prices of wheat; and for this the
Government Department of Agricul-
ture is in part responsible. This de-
partment gathers principally from tile
postmasters (no money being appro-
priated for the purpose) statistics of
the crops each year. The figures thus
collected have for several years under
estimated the product, so that specula-
tions in the United States based on the
worlds supply and demand, as thus
determined, have proved disastrous.
In accounting for the low price of
wheat we must first consider the de-
mand. This demand cannot be deter
mined mathematically at so many
bushels per head, as is usually done, for
it is undeniable that business depres-
sion, common over the whole civilized
world, has left the people with less
money to buy breadstuffs. In times
like these the people will eat less bread
or substitute rye or something else'for
wheat. Hence no one need be sur
prised that the consumptive demand
should be less than was calculated upon.
This lessened demand may be meas
ured by smaller quantity sold or by
decline in price, or in both ways. The
statistics of wheat imports into Great
Britain are of great moment to us at
present. Broadly speaking, Liverpool
fixes the price Of wheat for all the
exporting nations. A comparative
table of British imports of wheat by
countries is as below for the eleven
months ending November Both, 1892
and 1898:

The Senate committee on Foreign
relations consists of nine members, five
Democrats and four Republicans. In
the report of this committee on the
Hawaiian affair, seven out of the nine
declare themselves in favor of the
annexation of these Islands by our
Government. Senator Gray, of Della
ware, and Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
are the two who did not concur in the
report favoring annexation, and there
fore indicate that they are opposed to
such measure. The report contains
about eight hundred printed pages, and
was prepared by the chairman of the
committee, Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama. The report justiies Minister
Stevens in his course in relation to
those Islands except the establishment
of protectorate under the flag of the
United States, and also says that the
committee are of the opinion that no
violation of law was committed in the
appointment of Mr.. Blount as Minister
Paramount. But further states that
the evidence taken by the committee
leads them to different conclusions than
those formed by Mr.. Blount. The
report is concurred in, in its essential
points, by the Republican members of
the committee, who characterize it as
an able document. After all that has
been said and written about this mat
ter, the facts CLEANED by this conf
mittee, haYe confirmed the position of
Minister Stevens and the former Ad-
ministration in reference to our rela-
tions to these Islands; and to the mind
of any impartial observer, brings the
inevitable conviction, that the acts of
the President and Mr.. Gresham in
connection with the whole matter ema-
mated not so much from a desire to
right real wrong, as to discredit the
acts of former officials. Whatever
may be our wish to think that Mr..
Cleveland could do no wrong, when we
set before us thu whole evidence in the
Hawaiian transactions, and view them
impartially, we cannot escape the con-
viction that the double dealing and
duplicity of the administration and its
ministers in that behalf, is without a
parallel in modern diplomacy. The
turn that recent events has taken puts
the speedy annexation of these Islands
by our Government, beyond doubt.

A charming finish to an evening
dress is the arrangement of the hair,
so often neglected for the less weighty
consideration of the dress itself.
All faces, unfortunate it is not gen.
orally understood, are not subjects in
feature for the classic Grecian knot,
and often when feature and form are
in keeping the effect is spoiled by a
plastered and inelegant stiffness
which would make even Greek sta
tue blush at the false conception.
Then, too, the banding of the hair a
la Greek is a study in itself, and can
be abused as we'll as the knot ca n b
distorted.
This is charming coiffure. The
hair is drawn up loosely and care
lessly in knot, while a simple band
of ribbon is drawn through the wavy
tresses at the sides and tied in bow
Quite enough ribbon is displayed to
give the proper effect, while the hair
being over the ribbon at the sides, in
stead of the ribbon continuing the hair
makes the arrangement most becom-
ing and artistic in result.

The United States supplied about
one-half the total imports which, be-
cause of the fall in price, we're slightly
greater in 1898. If we leave out of
view the smaller countries, which do
not affect the question and are put in
our table for completeness, the changes
in the other nations are significant.
Wheat from Russia nearly trebled,
while the exports from the Argentine
Republic are more than twice those of
1892. These two nations exported half
as much as did the United States.
Chile, Australasia and Canada report
much the same quantity from year to
year. The increase in the two coun-
tries first named would have been disas-
trous to prices long before February,
had not the exports from India declined
"a per cent. Can We hope that the
exports of India will remain at the low
figure of 273,325 tons given as the
Indian imports into England for eleven
months Of last year? To throw light
upon this question, we give below the
figures of Indian wheat taken from tie
official reports of the Director General
of Railways for India:

Indian exports at the

Percentage OF exports

The significance of these figures lies
in the fact that owing to the spread of
railways in India larger proportion of
the trop is yearly exported. In our
first table the Indian imports into
Great Britain in 1892 were given as
12,025,2a1 cwt. or 6O1,261 tons for
eleven months, the above 926, ,602 tons
covering twelve months and to other
countries besides Great Britain.
The point is that the exports to Eng
land in 1893 (say 100000 tons for the
year, are the lowest in the Indian
record. Have we not reason to expect
at least double that quantity in normal
years! If now we assume that Russia
and the Argentine Republic will hold
their increase, the effect upon the
United States and upon our wheat
growers will be serious. 1t looks as if
a low range of prices for wheat had set
in which may be permanent, or at least
may last for several years. Agricul-
ture is the slowest of the great Indus
tries toadjust itself to business changes.
II is the boast Of our civilization that
high wages result in a lower cost of
product per yard or per unit. We know
that it has worked itself out that way
in cotton spinning and in other lines of
manufacture. But whether the law
will apply to agriculture in all strict
ness is doubtful, for there is a recog-
nized limit in farming to the employ
ment of machinery and labor saving
devices which have proved so effica cious
in manufacturing. But at least we
may say that agriculture in the United
States is more easily adjusted to circum-
stances than in England and Germany.
where the social and political changes
consequent upon the decline in produce
and in land values may, if carried
much further, amount to an upheaval
of society.
