SIGN OF THE TIMES,

One of the most interesting and impress
 will be the department devoted to the industrial and educational interests of
 the negro race. Fifteen States have all
 ready been canvassed to secure funds
 and exhibits to insure the success of
 this department and the responses have
 been so hearty that about S45,000 is
 pledged and enough exhibits have been
 obtained to fill all the space awarded.
 It is expected that additional space
 will be granted, and that the exhibits
 representing negro progress and enter
 prise will be a surprise even to the friends of the race. Moreover. it Is be- lieved that these evidences of negro
 thrift will do much towards breaking down race prejudice, which exists in the North quite as much as in the South. One of the things which at first made the negroes hesitate to ac- cept the offer of the exposition manag- CTS ana unQeGIdb6 LU lOIAH tI S0paAohG
 exhibit was the fear that members of their race would not receive courteous treatment and be accorded such rights as are given to white men. It has been guaranteed to their satisfaction, however, that the managers will dis play no prejudice against them, but will give them every opportunity to make a successful exhibition. Two negro congresses have been arranged, one to take place in November and to deal chiefly with industrial matters, the other to come in December and to set forth the educational progress of the negro. Some of the ablest colored men in the country will participate. Alto- gether the part to be taken by the negroes in the exposition wtlf consti- tute public recognition of their abili- ty which, coming as it does first from the South, must be regarded as very significant

Somebody at Washington has raised
 question which will send little shiv-
 CT through Connecticut and several oth- CT States. It is whether the twenty-six
 States that received deposits of public
 money from the United States treasury in 1S37-'38 ought not to be called upon to return the same, now that there is a considerable deficit and no immediate
 probability of it's being made good, by
 an increase of revenues. The total
 amount received by the States was $2S,-
 $955, ,s2s; New Hampshire, $669, ,0S6; Yer
 mont, $669, OS6; Massachusetts, $1,33S, 173;
 Connecticut, $764,67O; Rhode Island,

 The act authorizing this distribution was passed June 23, 1886. Congress had refused to extend the charter of the United States Bank, and finding it nec- essary to dispose of the more than for ty million dollars in the treasury for which the government had no imme- of which reads as follows: "And be it further enacted, that the money which shall be in the treasury of the United States on the first day of January, 1887, reserving the sum of five million dollars, shall be deposited with such of the sev- eral States, in proportion to their re- spective representation in the senate and the house of representa- lives of the United States as shall by law authorize thorities to receive the same on the terms specified" The States were to pledge their faith to return the money on demand In conformity with this act twenty-six States agreed to the spec flied terms and received their money | in three installments, for which they gave receipts. The question now is, can the government, after all these years, demand return of that money?

And, as we have seen, in Ben Jonson's day, 157S-l6S7, the English word bach elor meant not only an unmarried man but an unmarried woman. Its present use, therefore. is only a revival of the obsolete meaning. As fashions of the olden times are dragged from their ob- scurlty to masquerade as novelties, so with the forgotten meaning, made to appear entirely new and almost in its whimsicality.

 Down in the bottom of the bag a little cushion is fastened and here some pins are pushed till only their heads show, and little needle book Is still another modern convenience. Such a bag re- duces the bewildering detail in the dressing room immensely and saves many things from loss.
 Though the various crepon weaves are seen so much that 1t would seem as if fashionable women must soon de- clare them to be common, still the new dresses are found in the crinkly stuffs and here is one-a promenade gown of striped blue crepon Its skirt meas- ures four and a half yards, Is godet pleated, in back and lined with blue taffeta. A plain belt of the taffeta, or of satin if desired, comes around the waist. The waist has a loose, bag 8y front and fitted lining hooking be- heath the left boxpleat of plain silk. It's front is garnished with four rows of tiny blue velvet buttons, but the back remains plain. The standing crepon collar Is without any coquettish bows or rosettes, but the balloon sleeves have ribbon bows at the wrists.
 While black crepon holds it's own in the woollen weave, silk crepon is the exclusive thing in lighter colors. The advantage in the wool goods is it's great width. FLORETTE.

 It seems impossible that one woman, even life of seventy-three years could have done so much, in so many lines of effort, as has Mary A. Llvermore. TO wield so mighty an Influence for good

At sixteen she was a member of the faculty of the Ciiai ICoboWH DSHllHdIy, lGdcHlnB LaL1n and French. Two years later she took charge of a family school on an exten- sive plantation in southern Virginia, remaining there nearly three years. She returned to the North a radical aboli- tionist, pledged to the opposition of hu- man slavery and all forms of oppres- sion. Then she taught an advanced school of her own until her marriage to Mir.

Livermore became editor and pro- prietor of religious weekly his wife being associate editor. She wrote for nearly department of the paper, and upon occasion took entire charge of the whole establishment.

The silk industry is being revived in Georgia and promises to thrive. The vicinity of Savannah seems to be the best locality for the business, and the experiments which are being carried on dn Savannah are watched with interest by many who are noting that the ex- pense of raising the silk cocoons is small, while the product is worth about B5 cents pound in the market. It is quite probable that the industry under the favorable conditions that now seem ito exist, will grow to important propor- tions and become part of the recog- nized commerce of Georgia.

The war claims alone foot up $22, 2,OOO,OOO, and altogether there are 7,200 cases pending. One ex- plantation of this condition of things is that "a Democratic victory two years ago encouraged every southerner who lost a mule or had a rail fence burned by the Union armies to think that the time had come for Uncle Sam to set tile, and they buried the court with their claims"

NO RELIEF THERE.

No Sensible Man Will Look to the Demo-
cratic Party for Relief.
The silver democrats of Iowa were
out-generaled, out-voted and out-plat-
formed at the recent convention in that
state.
Some of the silver men suddenly
awole to the fact that they were in
the wrong crowd and left the conven-
tion.e
What is the lesson?
It is this: If the silver democrats
can't control the state of Iowa, they
haven't a shadow of show for con.
trolling the next national convention.
IT Iowa democrats have nominated a
gold-bug for governor, the hope of a
western man of western principles"
for president have gone glimmering.
Democracy is hopelesslye divided
against itself; it is house that cannot
stand.
No sensible outsider will look to
modern democracy for relief
