BRYAN OFFERS A REMEDY.

PROPOSES to have Bankers Who Want

Voted Down.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January TO-
Representative Bryan (Dem., Nebraska)
has introduced bill to provide for the
coinage of the seigniorage. A feature
OF the bill provides that any person pre-
senting to the treasury greenbacSs or
treasury notes and demanding their re-
dempton in gold or silver for the
purpose OF embarrassing the govern
ment, injuring its credit, or compelling
or securing an issue of bonds, shall be
guilty of mlsdemeauor, and upon con-
viction be punished by Imprisonment
for not less than five years.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., January To-
After a debate covering a week the
Senate to-day voted down Mr..
HIPS proposition to refer the
legality of the income tax TO the
courts, only five Senators joining with
Mr., Hill in supporting the proposition.
But the vote was notstsken until late in
the day, and up to that time there was
spirited debate that the Hill PROPOSE
stion has called out.
Mr.. Vest was principal speaker, and
in view of his service in the tariff con-
ference committee, there was great
Interest manifested In some OF
the committee secrets, which
be felt justified in disclosing.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Vest
called attention to the gravity of toe
tariff war which foreign countries had
begun against the United States as re-
suit OF the one-tenth sugar diherentlal.
Although Mr.. Hill failed in referring
the income tax to the Courts, he secured
the adoption OF an important amend
ment limiting the interrogation
les OF the officers seeking
10 collect the tax. The
amendment will have the effect OF
mpelling the treasury department to
change its regulations as TO collecting
the income tax. Mr.. Lodges effort to
have the Income tax officials placed un-
der civil service rules was defeated.
The income tax appropriation bill
| passed Mr.. Aldrich secured the pas
sage Of resolution calling on the Pres
ident for information as TO the negotia-
lions with Germany in regard to the

As PREDICTED, Ex-Governor Pattison
has been nominated for Mayor of Phila-
dslphia by the Democrats. The con-
vention was unanimous for him. The
Martin-Quay split and the consequent
probable wreck Of the Republican ma
chine, the utter disrepute into which
the rotten ring has fallen and the loud
protests from press and pulpit against
its candidate, and the immense pOpu-
larity OF Ex-Governor Pattisou, all point
to the election Of the latter and the
elevation, at last, Of a Democratic
Mayor to control ia that boss-ridden

spent some time in Alaska, and he says that
unless the American government shows some
gumption we shall lose an immense slice 1T
Southeastern Alaska, including Glacier bay
and some of the grand harbors. The
British claim that Benin channel, instead of
Portland channel, is the proper boundary,
and starting from this line of demarcation
includes an area about so miles in length,
varying in width up to $50 miles, and en-
bracing about 100 miles Of sea coast, with
harbors and island adjacent thereto. Father
Burnham says the value of the strip is
almost inestimable. 1t includes valuable
fisheries, an untouched forest region greater
than any other in the United States, large
deposits of copper, iron, coal and marble.
If the British claims to territory are made
good, the harbors that are now the head
quarters of trade will fly the British flag, and
she will control the way to the interior OF
Alaska, and famous mining properties,
which are said to be among the most valu-
able in the world.
1t is explained from Washington that
United States surveyors are also running a
line, and that both surveys are only rrelim-
mary to an international agreement.
The claim of Great Britain to territory
unquestionably our W should not be sub
mitted to arbitration. 1t might be well to
ask Russia to come forward and define the
the boundaries of the territory she sold to
the United States. Whatever Russia owned
on the American continent prior to the
Seward purchase, Uncle Sam owns today,
and no foot Of it should ever be surrendered.

is 1871 inches to the waist and 2Ih inches
from waist to skirt bottom. Lambs wool,
worsteds, cheviots and vicun IS for the coat

terials. Diagonals have passed into oblivion
for the frock and cutaway.
The collar will be extremely long, will
meet the lapels flush, and will be abou 2
inches wide at The ends, and a trile mar
rover at the back center. The lapels will
be very decidedly peaked, will average az
inches in width at the top, 81 at the breast,
and 2K at the bottom, will be evenly spaced
for FIVE buttonholes, and will turn to the
third. The edges will b blind or prick
stitched; the silk will extend to the button
holes, and the sleeve finish will be a three

able fullness at the top to define the hips,
will be of liberal width at the bottom, and
will have the black plaits sharply creased;
that is, they will be French pressed.

The Theater Steamboat Nav
Revolutionize.
NO DANGER OF STRANDlNG
1t Could Reach All Sections of
the Country.

Those merry people who inhabit the Rialto
from June until September, unless they can
secure an engagement in some summer troup
or concert hall have been talking about a
new scheme lately, which, if it is ever rea-
lied, promises to rev~olutionize barnstorm.
ing and one night playing generally.
1t is nothing more or less than a floating
theater, or in other words, a big steamboat,
with an interior modelled like that of a thea.
ter. The theater-boat can steam from town
to town with the company, scenery and or.
chestra on board; give a performance one
night and be at the next town the following
morning.
Ladies and gentlemen of the stage who
have been stranded in backwoods communities
look with favor upon the new order of things
They argue that a concern rich enough to
support such a theater will surely have
money enough to buy fuel to send the
steamer with the company to a town large
enough to be stranded in, in safety.
In fact, all the T~hespians assert that it
will be a gold mine for the p-oprietors of the
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1895-09-12

should be z5H inches long, with an opening
of from q to I4K inches and to close with
buttons. The double breasted waist
Goa should be z6 inches long, with we'll.
peaked, cut off lapels, and to close with fou,
buttons.
The cutaway coatof the coming season
will lack the freakish features of the pres
eat garment. 1t will be made in the same
materials as the frock coat and will gener
ally close with three buttons. The absurej
who loved to strut about with the long, hang
ing tails Au,tering in the breeze, will have
to select some new subject for their extrava'
CANT devotion. For the average man the
total lenght should not exceed Sc inches
and the skirts should be well rounded te
medium width at the bottom.
Trousers for all suits are also under the
reign of king common sense. The peg tor
is a thing of the past, and the ankle spring
will not be tolerated. The proper width a
the knee is nineteen idehes, and at the bot
tom seventeen inches. Evening suit trous
ers should be half an inch narrower,
LITTLE CHANGE IN EVENING DRESS.
There is not much change in the styles Of
evening dress. The peaked lapel on tht
coat has been restored to favor at the ex.
pense of the shawl roll. The skirts will mo-
be as pointed a. last year, but the shield
effect will still be carried ont in the vest,
The materials should be of soft finished , q
dull-faced goods, glossy cloths having gone
out of fashion. The w%aistcoat, if of the
same material as the coat, should be single
breasted. Waistcoats of silk or Marsellie.
can be double breasted, closing with three
buttons and with a collar of menium width.
In overcoats the only new thing is the
Spanish mantle, which should only be worn
to some festive function in the evening. The
Spanish mantle takes the place of the In.
verness coat. The latter has always been .
great manufacturer of pneumonia and ha,
fallen into disfavor. The Spanish mantle
can be tightly wrapped about the body.
The short Covert coat, just long enough "a
cover a sack coat, will be the popular aut.
umn garment, while for colder weather the
Chesterfield and surtout will be the correct
things. The usual length of the Chester.
field should be forty-two inches in length,
hanging fairly close to the figure and with
out the exaggerated back flare of the DO,
coat.
Altogether the sensibld man can follow
the new styles without feeling that he il
making a guy of himself.
