THE SENATORSHiP.

The Unexpectedly large Republican
majority secured for the legislature at
the recent election has certainly set
tied all question as to who will be
the next United States Senator from
Minnesota No combinations can be
formed that will thwart the expressed
wishes of the people as recorded on
the 9th inst, and no member who has
any regard for his political future will
care TO enter into any scheme to COM
pass the defeat of Senator Washburn.
The legislative campaign was con-
Quoted as thoroughly for the re-elec-
tion of Mr.. WaShburn to the senate as
was the state campaign for the reten-
tion of Mr.. Nelson for Governor. His
name was as exclusively the only one
before the voters as candidate OF
the Republican party for senator as
was that of Mr. Nelson for Governor,
and the unparalleled majority elected
+, to the legislature proves as con-
clusively as anything can that this
fact aided in very large degree in Sc
curing the success of goodly number
of candidates in doubtful districts
who would otherwise have went down
despite the landslide.
The Democratic papers, with their
usual disposition to stir up strife
and engender fight among Republic
cans are busy bringing out possible
candidates for senator, hoping thereby
to get up family row among the
members of the Republican party.
But it will fall stubborn. Gov. Mel
son declared in a public speech in the
campaign that he was not candidate
for senator, and the handsome endorse
ment accorded his first adminiStra-
ton will give him renewed strength
to give his second term even better
seryice-if such a thing were possible
than his first. EX-Gov. Merriam,
whose ambition to go to the senate
was not and is not wholly visionary,
publicly and manfully endorsed Sena-
tor WaShburn for reelection at the
great Reed meeting in the exposition
building, Minneapolis, and for which
expression he received a wonderful
ovation from ten thousand people rep
TeSenting every section of the state.
Who, then, with Governor Nelson and
Ex-Governor Merriam both for Mr..
Washburn, will the pOp-gun opposi-
tion shoot their wad at to compass the
defeat of the present senator? A hol-
low echo will be the only response.
The Republicans, with clear ma
joritY of 112 on Joint ballot, should not
even hold nominating caucus. The
people of the state have with one &C
cord made their choice, and the mem
bers of the senate and house should,
on the constitutional day and hour,
cast the votes of their respective
chambers unanimously for Senator
Washburn.
All this talk in Democratic papers
about this or that man being candi-
date, should be thrown to the wind as
idle chatf emanating from already
thoroughly threshed straw. The
greatest opportunity in the history of
the party in Minnesota for good work
is presented, and the people will stand
no foolishness. The Republicans
should come together in the legisla-
ture with a clear understanding of
their duties, prepared to push through
such legislation as is needful for our
best interests, and after this is done,
promptly adjourn.

THE LeSueur Sentinel says there
has not been word heard about the
re-enactment of the Mckinley law
since the Republican victory. Why
should there be. The Republicans
have not complete control of the gov
eminent, but we notice that the vic
tory has put stop to all free trade
nonsense

The Des Moines Leader says that
one good result of the last election
will be, to "gag the mouths of the
noisy demagogues, who have been
crying calamity" We hope it will,
but ten to one the free trade Pop
crowd, or what is left of it, will keep
on bowling as Justify as ever.

DONNELLY says the masses are to
blame for the result of the recent
election. In this he seems to have
hit the nail on the head. From his
point of view they are to blame be-
cause they acted intelligently, instead
of accepting his vagaries and going it
blind.

White rabbit fur with little black tufts a
other fur "blown in" is the nearest; an
proach, and it is a rare fur. So the happ,
possessor of an ermine outfit this winter
knows she is envied by her sisters.
This is by no means the entire list of new
n elegant winter coats and wraps, but
feel that l must give the little ones q
chance. Do they not need warm little gar.
ments and new ones too? Oddly enough
their clothes are shortened just when one
would think they needed to have them
longer if anything, but then they all wear
cunning little leggings of cloth, kersey or
leather, or perhaps knitted ones which
reach up above the knees.
A coat for one tot of 4was of black vel
vet, with a border of rabbit ermine around
the bottom and on the wide plated cape.
IN sleeves We're gathered in ut the waist
with a band of the fur, which left the vel
vet to extend in a sort of ruff1e. He or she
Tor boy or girl can wear this suit-had
black velvet leggings and a black velvet
Tam o. Shanter, with it's little tuft of her
ons' plumes.
A dress for a little girl to wear at a party.
where sponge cake and paper cambria tea
were the designations, was made of baby
blue china silk, with several very narrow
tucks as heading for a deep ruffle of the
silk, covered with a dainty pink and white
pattern: A bertha of the same came to a
deep point in front, edged by the embroid-
cry and ended with loops of ribbon. 1t was
halfrow in the neck and had putfed sleeves
reaching to the elbow.
Another suit worn inditferently by both
small girls and boys is Il sailor of fine striped
serge, blue and white. The skirt is laid in
four very deep box plaits, buttoned over on
the left. The coat is of serge, but of much
heavier quality and warmly lined with red
flannel. The collar and inset are of white
cloth, and so is the sailor hat, which is Tam
o. Shanter, without the broken edges. Be-
meath the coat is the regulation blouse.
The last little coat to mention this time /
is a sage green melton cloth in light weight.
bound with brown fur and having an imi-
tation ermine collar. The leggings are of
the same material, with bright red tops.
The hat is a beaver felt of a silverv white.
with a red cord and three silk pompons for
trimming. This outfit is also adapted for
both boys and girls. It is not easy to tell
them apart this seasonal least until the
boys get pantaloons.
l wonder if any one has noticed that we
have no more changeable silks or woolens?
1t is only little while ago that we were
all going into raptures over the different
effects, but of late, save in some
of the heavy corded woods, 1 have not seen
3 single yard of such goods. Where have
they gone, and when did they fit? It is
now all for satin, for MORE and for the
dainty and beautiful brocades in neat,
mall patterns and the enormous designs

pie think, to the famous N%innehaha park

with Wendell Phillips and Theodore Park
er, and only escaped through a technical
flaw in the Indictment. Yet Colonel Hie.
ginson has a philosophic reason for his on
timism. ,9s Er5
"A reformer," he says, ''can always
glance back upon his life with a certain de-
gree OF satisfaction, for he sees how the
world has advanced during his own life.
and he recognizes the fact that many things
for which he has worked are already accom-
plished, and he looks forward, with conf
dence to the future. Many changes must
come III our social arrangements, but the
reformer thinks OF them with composure.
The conservative, on the contrary, has n q
such satisfaction in looking backward. He
reels that things are not what they used to
De when he was young, and he realizes that
the world has gone away from him."
An ardent reformer Colonel IHigginson
certainly was. He was one of the earliest
and most enthusiastic of the abolitionists
IN Massachusetts, and was forced to resign
the passionate of the Unitarian church in
Newburyport because of his antislavery
preaching. He was one of the famous Wen
dell Phillips bodyguard, organized to pro-
tect the silver tongued abolitionist from the
attacks of mobs in his native Boston. He
was active in the free soil agitation and was
a candidate for congress on the Free Soil
ticket. He was personally acquainted with
John Brown and served as brigadier on
the free state forces of James H, Lee. He
helped organize an unsuccessful expedition
to rescue two of John Browns companions
from prison at Earper's Ferry and went to
the front in 1862 as captain of the Fifty
first Massachusetts, volunteers. In Novem-
Der OF the same year he was appointed colo
mel OF the first regiment of freed slaves
mustered into the Federal service, and a
later received a wound that disabled
him and eventually caused his retirement.
Colonel Higginson was bornin the shadow
OF Harvard college, of which his father was
steward, Dec. %, 1923. He graduated from
college in 1871 and from the divinity
school six years later. He was ordained for
The service of the Newburyport church
above, and after leaving there
accepted the passionate of a free church in
Worcester, where he remained from 1852 to
1855, when he left the ministry and devoted
himself to literature.
He has contributed much to current lit
and several of his best known
books consist of essays that first appeared
in The Atlantic Monthly, in the first vol
lime OF which his first published article an
oeared. His Outdoor Papers, and his
Young Folks History Of the United
states' are probably the best known of his
literary productions.

A SUSPENDED r

Inc stronghold of Conservatism Teaches
Us Something New About Bridges.
ASpanish engineer named Pallacio has
designed and constructed a curious new
suspension bridge near Bilbao, which might
easily be mistaken for a specimen of Yam
kee ingenuity. 1t takes the place of a ferry.
between the towns of Portugalete and Las
Arenas, at the mouth of the river Nervion
on the bay of Biscay, where the frequent
storms and strong currents rendered cross
ing extremely dangerous and sometimes
suspended traffic entirely, to the manifest
inconvenience of the 10000 passengers who
used the ferry daily.
Some substitute for the f~erryboats had to
be devised. An ordinary one spar bridge
might have answered, but would have in
terferred with the large vessels which sail

up the river to Bilbao. A tunnel would
have to be very deep and consequently cost
~. and the authorities decided against a
drawbridge as vexatious to the souls of foot
passengers, teamsters and mariners all at
once.
Then Engineer Pallacio submitted his de-
sign for a new sort Of suspension bridge,
and it was accepted. 1t is $50 feet high and
Is supported by two iron towers each 200
feet in height. There is no traffic over the
bridge itself. It serves simply as a track
for rollers which guide across the river
huge cars suspended by heavy steel cables,
transporting passengers. vehicles and other
heavy freight. With three wagons abreast
on the platform of the car there is space
enough for 200 passengers. The rollers
above are operated by steam, and in the
brisk breezes are greatly aided by a heavy
sail attached to the front OF the car. It
runs high enough above the water to per-
init small vessels to pass beneath it. The
entire cost of the bridge was less than
$185,0OO.

NEW COATS.

Of mems best overcoats. No more comfort
able and easy garment could be imagined,
but it is not suitable for an elderly lady.
A magnificent coat wrap for a young
married lady was of mazarin blue velvet,
rich and thick. It was cut in the faring
style now SO much liked. The sleeves were
very large gigot, but the browning glory
was the beautiful ermine cape and collar
and stole fronts with their fringe of ermine
tails. There is also a muff to 20 with this
expensive coat, and a four inch border of
ermine encircles the skirt, which is longer
than usual.
Ermine is the one fur that cannot be sue
cessfully initiated. Seal has to contend
with many base counterfeits, such as nu-
tria, muskrat and some other skins. L
should not have said that ermine is the only
fur that is not initiated, but it is certainly
impossible to produce anything like it.

THE LITTLE ONES.

gauzes are bright enough and full enough
OF changing c%olors, but the changeable silks
have gone where the pins go, and mo man
knoweth where"
The Lole Fuller grapes and rainbow
gauzes are all with us yet for dancing
dresses, and so are several new fancies in
Arabian gauze with silver or gold tinsel
woven in stripes. Some of the new silk It's
sues, such as mousseline de sole, have i'm
mense flowers printed upon them, such as
single pansies, roses or corn flowers, always
without foliage. The plaid Grape tissues are
quite a go, contrary toprophecy. They have
sheer ground, with a woven in plaid of
silk in pale pink, blue, rose, lilac, green or
maize, with fine black ones forming the
plaid. But of all the beautiful goods for
handsome gowns for young ladies are the
new heavy grapes, and also the soft silk
grapes that float like a nebulous mist
around the fragile forms of the debutantes.
Let US say n sympathetic word for the
men. They have so few real novelties,
What new fashions they have are so lim-
lted and circumscribed that they usually
go no farther than adding an inch or so to
the width of their trousers or length of
their coats. Their collars and lapels NAV
be a little rounder or ''pointeder," as one
salesman said, and that is about all the diff
ference, as far as I can tell. They have
tecks, four-in-hands and white muslin ties.
but this season has given them a series of
ties of the most outlandish shape and color
that l remember ever to have seen.
These cravats or scarfs, or whatever thew
are called, are about eight inches wide, and
not lined except in the part that goes
around the neck. The rest is twisted and
tied and finally tucked in one side of the
vest. The coloring is more varied thar the
attire of the queen of Sheba and is mostly
IN Persian palm leaf pattern. There are
light cplored ones also, white, with stc7tr
ingly brilliant patterns, though, to be sure.
the figures are small and set quite far
apart. Collars are high and have the cor
ners turned out in a sort of curved point.
Gloves for men are very nearly like those
Of the women. Some of them have fo,,r
buttons. Overcoats nave very decidedly
large lapels with sharp points, and the COL
lars to the ulster styles come up so high as
to recall the ~incroyables. I heard in one
place that the swells are to carry muffs q
little later on. I am afraid this is too good
to be true. Umbrellas for gentlemen are
long and very slender when closed, the most
stylish having large natural wood knotted
candles. flew have silver or gold trim
mlngs on the handles. The furnishing
stores show a great variety of the finest
lambs wool and natural wool undergar-
ments, nearly all trimmed up with satin in
the form of facings.
Smoking and lounging jackets do not
rival Joseph's coat of many colors as they
used to. Nearly all are Of dark swans
down or elder down flannel, with dark
facings and trimmings. They are lined
with quilted satin or silk, and this lining, is
seen in bright colors sometimes. Dress
shirts are shown with open fronts, and
some are open both back and front.
