There is always feeling that we in America
are extremely democratic, and especially so
when we see the liveried servants from foreign
parts; but in America the wearing of livery is
growing apace, and though occasional fuss is
made over the DOMINIC of uniforms, yet it is a
custom rapidly Spreading Our letter-carriers
policemen, messenger-boys, conductors on
street-cars and railways nurses in hospitals
Deaconesses, Sisters of Charity hotel servants
footmen, coachmen, and frequently house
maids-always hotel-maids-are in uniform.
Many of the large stores have a rule requir-
ing uniform costumes of the clerks. In New
York City the street cleaners have been put in
white serge uniforms. They objected, but so
did the policemen when it was first proposed
to uniform them. With our Army and Navy,
and the frequent militia men and cadets, and
the clerical gentlemen, in their straight collars
and high-cut waistcoats We are growing large
class of uniformed people. The objection to
this is always that il divides people off into
classes, and is, therefore, undemocratic and I'M
American; but on the other hand, it is the
only possible way to make existence convenient
in any place of dense population. It is the
necessary result of life in the big cities. It is
much better to be able 10 distinguish the police
men from other men on the streets, and rail-
way station where the officials were not in
uniform would be hub-bab. One could ask
10 men for information concerning the trains
before he found a railway official who could
answer his questions, and he could miss several
trains in the meantime This is only one case
out the hundred that woald come up if uniforms
were done away with In a small town where
everybody knows everybody else and his BUSH
ness, uniforms are not necessity, but in big
cities life would be uncomfortable without these
distinctions among men.

on the Republican side; and in this connection
il is interesting to know that at the request of
Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina, his
desk has been placed on the Republican side.
Dir. Butter is the Populigt elected by the fusion

two-years term to Dir. Pritchard, Republican.
The fact that Mr.. Butler has asked TO be scat

ton that he will act with the Republicans in

the next Democratic Presidential ticket. he
did not make bad Attorney General. He
will Ge 60 years old Sept. 10 next, and is in the

from the West there would be good deal more

Mr.. 0lney is not politician, and has per-
sonsl organ zation TO urge his candidacy. but
the politicians who have tried to be President
have usually failed, and it is much more
probable that he may be nominated than the
long-standing candidates will be, with all their
letter writing and office-promsin aud with
all of the clubs and machines behind them.
Certain it is that the modest, reserved Boston

years ago. has become not only the head of the
Cabinet officially, but in fact and in truth the
foremost man in this Administration.
