SENATOR HILL AGAIN UITERs AN
OPINION

1t is truly surprising % us how gen
Il man whose methods in politics are
so dramatically opposed to those OF The
Times. so often states our most cherish
cd opinions when he speaks on public
affairs IS Senator Hill, of New York,
does. When the naval appropriation was
before the Senate just before it's recent
ADJOURNMENT he made a speech in which
he used the following language:
II do not altogether sympathize with
those who seem 10 fancy that our eN-
ports and imports. especially our ex-
ports, our foreign trade and commerce

The Times is an earnest advocate of
navy adequate to maintaining the rights
and dignity of this Government at all
times and in all places, but The Times
has neither part nor lot in the idea that
when we do have a first-class navy we
will extend our influence and commerce
by obtrusve exhibitions of it, Our navy
will be for the protection Of this coun-
try If 1t is assailed. and for compelling
foreigners to respect American rights
when they are disregarded, and not to
push advantages for US by hectorings ana
bully,ngs. We prefer to think that such
advantages as we secure in foreign COM
merce shall come from the superiority
and cheapness of our goods and from
our energy and intelligence and the repu-
tation we establish for perfect justice and

Gowns take on the character OF their
wearers Just as do gloves and shoes, and
are as indicative of ones disposition as
the bumps on ones Uranium or the lines
of the face. The facts in the case have
not been brought down 10 a science yet,
but they are all true. The swing OF the
skirt the lines OF the waist, the angle OF
a reVers after "a weeks wear, are all
significant of the character or the wearer
1t is easy 10 distinguish the stylish wo-
man from the nucolic female by their
respective gowns as they hang IN thelr
wardrobes But there are other qualities

There was a fine lace iichu OF immense
proportions, which was draped arounh
the neck and shoulders and then hlhg

costume, and the manner in which IL was
draped was the key 20 the character or

This is the Socialists vote out of a total
OF votes Of about 100000. Liebknecht
claims that the Socialist vote was no
larger in the elections of 1873 and 1851
because it was suppress 3ed in those years
by the restrictive measures of the Govern
ment in the latter year OF B!smarck's
power
1t must be conceded that this shows
a. development Of political party which
is almost without parallel. yet we win
get an inadequate conception OF its mean
ing unless we attend strictly TO the char
deter Of It's membership. The Socialists
OF Germany are almost all the labOrers
Of the cities and towns. There are very
few Socialists amongst the rural popu-
lation, whether laborers o. landowners.
