More About tho Shirt waist.

The new shirt waists are severe in
their simplicity More elaborate ones
are shown some with sort OF pointed
Vandyke collar attached that gives the
effect Of a cape, but the wise woman will
have none uf these Such cannot stand
the wear aud tear OF the lauadress service
aud retain their original pleasing effect
The most exclusive tailors and shirt
makers for men are placing their skill at
womsn's disposal for these waists, and
the result is an elegance of fit and simple
stylish air Il must be admitted, too,
that the excellence OF the average shirt
waist sold In the women's shops has
greatly advanced The useful garments
have, indeed, reached tue stage of cult
OF their own, which the shopping woman
soon discovers, aud makes her choice in
accordance.

CHARGE for examining your eyl
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1895-11-27

Now comes Mr.. Preston, Direc-
ter of the Mint, with the following
statement:
''The real demonitization Of sill
yer took place in 1858, when the
weight of divisional coins was re-
duced about per cent. This was
not an accident nor an ersight !;
it was expressly declared in the
House of Representatives that the
intention was to make gold the
sole standard of value in the large
transactions, and silver subservicnt
to it, for small ones. The act of
1873 was only nominal"
And so the ''crimc" of demoniti-
zalion appears to fall upon Demo
cratic shoulders after all. If the
above statement is true, the date
of the "crimc" reverts from the
Republican days Of 1873, to thf
Democratic days of 1858. If il
keeps On like this, Thomas Jelfcr
son may yet be involved as par
ticipant in the dark deed.

WE cannot help but admire the
stand taken by the St. Louis Re
public on the financial question
In spite of all the abuse that is be
ing heaped upon it by almost the
entire Democratic press of the
state, the Republic pursues the
even tenor of its way, and supports
the policy of the administration.
Old 1908 has lived long enough to
know that deviation from the paths
of virtue always rebound with
force and contumely upon the de-
viators, and it will not be long be-
fore it will enjoy the satisfaction of
seeing all the little sinners sinking
back under cover, looking mean

Jefferson City.
CONTRIBUTED


From what we gather from the
press and from those who have been
eye witnesses to the progress Of
Jefferson City, the year 1895. in
material advancement. marks Il
most important epoch III the histo-
ry of the capita! city.
The amount Of money expended
in the construction of business
houses, private dwellings and in
public improvements exceeds the
amount expended by any other city
of the third class in Missouri, if
not in the United States.
More than one hundred DWELL
ings. costing from $1,000 to $4,000,
have been built: yet there are no
houses FOR rent within the city
limits. The great milling plant of
the Dullc Milling Co., destroyed
by fire during the session of the
last General Assembly, has been
rebuilt and is i'll full operation,
turning cut 400 barrels of -four PEI
day. I.incoln Institute, which wa.
also destroyed by fire, is rapidly
approaching completion, and is
destined to become a great univcr-
sity fer the education of the color
e;l youth o1 Missouri. -Four
churches, Of beautiful design anc
costing many thousands Of dollars.
have been erected.
New streets are being constructed
and old ones repaired in every di
rection, while dilapidatcd brick an>
stone pavements have been sup
planted by elegant granitoid side
walks. Tie city recently purchas
ed an 1S-ton steam roller, steam
crusher. which turns out $50 ton
Of nacadan every ten hours;
stone plough, also operated b,
steam. and Il grader. With the
machines streets are rapidly ll;tt:c
and at a minimum cost to. the tax
payer. Extensions to It's sevc;
system, now ramifying ever,
quarter of the city, cost, in 1895
about $4,000. Coupled with he
splendid natural drainage this sys
tenn Of sewers renders the city IA
, excoiicd fer cleanliness.

THE Globe-Democrat points out
the fact that congress. when it
meets, must devise some means for
raising more revenue to overcome
the necessity for future bond sales.
We cannot, however. fall in line
with the CD as to the method of
raising more revenue. since it ad-
vises that the tariff be let alone and
an internal tax levied to raise the
money needed. The easiest way
to raise revenue with a minimum
burden to the people is a tax on
imports, and as tEis method of
taxation has been successful here
tofore. both as a revenue raiser
and as a protection to our home in
dustries, we see no good reason
why it should now be abandoned
and another method substituted.
The present tariff law is unsatisfac-
tory to the American people. They
have cried out against it as an i'll
justice to them ever since it became
operative, ard the party that is re-
spOnsiblc for its enactment has been
heartily condemned through the
ballot box. To adopt the views Of
the GID would amount to a rcpu-
diation of the adhering principle of
the Republican party-a tariff for
prOtection-and to Il tacit confes-
sion that the present tariff law is Il
satisfactory one.
The monthly treasury deficit is
an object lesson that is not easily
misunderstood. as are also the re-
ports emanating from the treasury
department which show largely in
creased imports in articles we were
formerly producing at home. The
Wilson tariff law is responsible
therefor, and as that law is detri-
ment--a menacc-to the welfare
of the country the duty of the
coming congress stands prominent
ly before it. 1t is true that Clcye-
land, and possibly the Senate, may
obstruct any attempt at tariff re
vision, but the Republican House
must listen to the voice Of the pco-
pie and undertake the work of re
vision, even though it prove futile.

MODERN times have drawn the
great commercial nations of the
world into close communication
with each other, and in order to
facilitate business transactions be-
tween nation and nation, an equable
unit of value had to be established.
As gold was the least susceptible to
variations as a purchasing power,
gold has become the almost univcr-
sal unit of value upon which to
base commercial transactions. The
rule of the survival of the fittest
applies to all things which man
uses in his progress toward the
millennium. In the course of human
events it may become necessary to
abandon the gold unit in order that
we may adopt a still more enlight-
ened method on which to base com
mcrcial transactions.
