A RECESS NEEDED.

The Lexow Committee Is just now d.
vided on the question Of continuing the
ton during July and August or
of taking a long recess and resuming
work in the more pleasant month OF
September. The principal advocate for
a long recess is the counsel of the Com
mittee. Mr.. Con. and 1t certainly would
be hard to require him to continue such
work as he has been doing during the
present exhausting weather.
There Is only one consideration in
favor OF a Summer session. The in

are TO be heard for the other side until
the prosecution has fully closed. 1t is
very desirable that the whole evidence
should be before the people by the time
the election comes on in November.
VIII there be time in two months to
close the balance OF the case?

One of the joys of the Japanese
woman's life, which Sir Edwin Arnold
has failed to dwell upon. Is her hair
dressing. although he mentions the re-
suit admiringly. The ordinary Japanese
woman has her hair dressed twice a
week. First the assistant hairdresser
comes and oils the locks with camellia
or seaasum oil; then the principal ar
rives and spends nearly an hour in piling
up her hair so that 1t will indicate the
caste and age Of the woman and whether
she Is maid. wife or widow" For all
that is expressed by the arrangement OF
the locks in Japan. The wtmen sleep
upon neck blocks, carefully followed out

all night. For ladies Of high degree
these blocks are beautifully lacquered
and decorated. They generally have a
little drawer into which the superhuous
ornaments can be put at night

WHIPPING DEMOCRACY ROUND THE
STUMP.

Senator Hill made a strong anti-Ad-
min!stration anti-Democratic speech
in his TRADE against the income tax
Thursday. AS new exhibition OF his
undying enmity towards the Democratic
President whose nomination he did every
thing to prevent and whose election he
did little to promote. 1t was success.
As an argument against the income tax
on incomes OF more than four thousand
dollars a year. compelling the tax-dodg-
ing millionaires of the country to at last
bear their share OF the burden OF taxa
ton. 1t was failure.
OF course. Senator Hill as free
agent has a right to rail against the
Democracy OF to-day as Spurious" as
lied astray after false gods. false theo-
ries and false methods" Its false gods
were those they worshipped at Chicago,
two years ago; its false theories We're

four by the Populists. They obtained
| a plurality OF forty-hve thousand In
this State and OF three hundred and

dent, therefore. that they were not re-
garded as spurious" by the Democracy
OF the United States.
1t seems inconsistent. however, FOL
Senator Hill to criticise Congress FOL
having adopted the recently denounced
Reed Rules" relating to the business
of legislation when the New Yorl
Senator was himself the originator an,
the able advocate OF such rules in tn
Senate.
So far az the ostensible subject o
Senator Hills speech Is concerned, no
a single argument was used against tn
