The objections raised to boomers in this
country have been on the score of modesty
or aesthetics. The prudes object to them
as indecent. the beauty-lovers as unsraceful
and hideous. 1t has remained for London
shopkeepers to bring a more serious charge.
The wheel craze RACES there with as great
virulence as here, and female riders show
a greater fondness for a garb of the trous-
ers plan than their American sisters. Con-
sequently. boomers are a common sight.
and their wearers go about the streets and
shops unnoticed. But the merchants have
found that shoplifters wear them, and can
stow more goods In the voluminous panta-
looms than were ever hidden under a skirt
or a long cloak. One OF them. who was
spotted by a lynx-eyed hoorwalker. reluct-

renewed disapproval as she trips lightly

A New York correspondent of the Wash
ington Post cannot imagine why so many
country people come to the metropolis in
August, and facetiousiy designates these
visitors as ''hayseeds and briar thorns from
provincial towns" 1t is safe TO wager that
this writer has not been in the city long
enough to rid his boots of the stable odor
acquired in his early rural Iabors. 1t Is
usually the newly-veneered city man who
sneers at the people he left behind. The
older resident has learned that all the adj
vantages are not on the part of him who
comes 10 town to stay. and he looks half
with envy upon the country uncles and
cousins and aunts who are still capable OF
new and fresh sensations, and enjoy their
occasional trips to the city as he can no
longer enjoy anything. Moreover. he Is apt
10 learn a little manners as he goes along,
and to realize that II rs not the part of good
breeding to indulge in cheap wit at the ex-
pense of people whose chief offense is their
failure to patronize fashionable tailors.

Residents of Kansas City will hereafter
pay one dollar per 1000 feet for their il
Illuminating gas, a contract with the
city having been made to that effect.
An effort was first made by the COM
pany to secure a thirty-year franchise,
the gas to be sold at SLIGO per thousand.
This was rejected. the bid was lowered
to $1.55, and the Council then took the
bit in it's teeth and passed an ordinance
making it unlawful to charge more than
one dollar a thousand feet. The COM
pany resisted the enforcement of this
ordinance and secured an injunction
against it, but public sentiment was
unfavorable to al extension of its
franchise unless the low price OF the
commodity furnished was guaranteed,
and it finally succumbed to the inev-
table. The proceeding is one that
should have its lesson for other cities.
Evidently, there is profit in gas at a
dollar a thousand feet, else the COM
pany would not have accepted the con-
tract. Were it otherwise the fact could
easily have been demonstrated to the
authorities and too great exactions pre-
vented. If the Kansas City company can
manufacture gas at that price, other
companies can do the same. AS it is,
the variation in prices is great, and in
many quarters pay exorbi-
tant rates. Kansas City rejoices doubly
in that municipal control of its water
works system was secured on the same
day as the reduction in the price of
gas. Great benefit is expected from
the latter arrangement, and the work
ing of the experiment will be looked
upon with interest by other cities.

cussing the propriety and good sense of
the dislike to the name Dutch it
car be said that the basis OF 1t is a race
antipathy, a wish by Germans not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Hollanders, be-
tween whom and themselves is a
traditional a~ntagonism. There can be
no such association with the word ne
gro. 1t is never used as a term of con-
tumely. but as an entirely respectful
and convenient word. descriptive Of a
class Of citizens. The word is of an
cient origin and means black, or dark,
and by long custom has come to be ex-
clusively applied to natives of Africa or
their descendants. 1t is not more a
term of reproach than when Indians are
spoken of as red men. On the contrary,
it may be set down as a rule that when
ludes to the negro. he is as far as pos
sible from the wish to speak slightingly.
If this were not the case, other words
rightfully held to be odious would come
to his mind. Niger for example, is
an offensive appellation; so is darby"
the colored man has a right to object
to them, but a protest against negro"
is unreasonable. To speak of him al
ways as ''colored" is and is
quite as open to objection as the other
term. Perhaps the Journals CORE
%spondent prefers the word African, but
it is as manifestly improper to call an
American negro an African as to classify
other Americans whose ancestors came
over a century or two ago as English,
Irish, French. When it is necessary to
speak of colored men as a race or as in
dividuals there is no word which seems
to the Journal more suitable or respect
full than negro, and until a better me
is put forward 1T will continue in use. =
