DEMOCRATIC SOREIEADS.

Congressman Bryan, OF Ne
braska, is a brilliant orator, but
he hardly possesses the ability
to become the leader of the Ma
tional Democracy or the founder
Of d new party, which can win a
National election. His address
to the country, wherein it is in
sisted that the majority Of Dem
ocrats favor the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at a ratio
Of 16 to 1, and that this assumed
majority should take charge of
the organization of the Demo
cratic party, is not only all Insult
to the Democratic Administra-
ton in Washinhton, but is in
open defiance Of tie platform
and declarations Of the Chicago
Convention, whose principles
and nominees We're approved by
an overwhelming majority Of the
people of the United States.
About twenty members of Con
gress, it is stated, have signed
the address. However, the only
signatures made public are those
of Mr.. Bryan and Editor B.. 2.
Howell, of the Atlanta C0nstitu-
ton, both of whom hate Mr..
Cleveland with an all-comsuming
and devouring hatred, because
he has not aided them in their
mad desire for office ana noto-
riety.
Bryan sought to capture the
control Of the Democracy Of Ne
braska that he might go to the
Senate to preach his frantic sill
yer heresies. Mr.. Bryan was
repudiated by his Democratic
neighbors and charged that the
administration beat him." How
ell has never enjoyed a sane
minute since Hoke Smith, one O.
the owners, at the time, of the
Atlanta Journal, the Constitution,
very live competitor, was invited
into Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, two
years ago.
No man in the West, whatever
his politics, has done more dam
age to the Democratic party thar
Bryan; and no two men in The
South, whatever their politica
affiliations, have demoralized anC
injured the Democratic party
moro than Howell.
Shall these two sore-heads b
permitted to assume control o
the National Democracy? Shal
petty spite be the inspiration o
Democratic leadership? Not i
the Democratic rank and file cal
control party management an
they think that hereafter the,
will have about as much infenc
as they have had heretofore
which means confusion in tn
councils of Bryan and Howe
and destruction to their scheme
of personal ambition.

Dress Reform.

Dress
There was a touch of genuine
feminity about the session Of the
Woman's Council at Washington
last week, devoted TO Dress
R FORM" which will tend to re-
assure those persons who fear
that women are in danger of be-
coming mannish and unseXed.
Every delegate who had a theory
on the subject. reports state,
illustrated it by wearing a fetch
ing garb of her own creation.
One speaker was attired in a
costume ''subdued but neat"
another in a ''graceful variation
of the Empire" another in a
striking blouse and skirt, anoth-
Ell in a ''Directoire gown" anoth-
er in a magnificent robe" and
so on. In spite Of the deep in
terest which the fair attendants
at this gathering have displayed
in the grave problems they have
discussed, it is evident that the
delightful feminine desire to be
outwardly pleasing is as strong
among them as among their more
retiring sisters.
1t would be a waste Of time to
detail the merits and dement's of
the subject of Dress Reform"
The question is trite and the pub
lie is. thoroughly familiar with
all that can be said upon it. I'm
duobtedly the dress of women is
capable of great Improvement
from the standpoint Of physiol-
logy and hygiene, and probably
none understand this better than
the feminine sex. The chief
obstacle to Dress Reform" is
the difficulty of making fashion
conform with the laws of health.
If fashion dictates low neckeC

of fashion usually means grace

seriously at the hands of its owl
advocates. Many of these have
insisted upon modes of dres:
which, in feminine language, ar

Woman's Council sensibly put it

absolutely useless because NJ
ordinary woman will wear it." [
is noteworthy that this fact is
becoming better appreciated
Perhaps the surezt way to brins
about dress reform is to refe.

AS to the Late Lamented.

The Fifty-third Congress has
not fulfilled the Biblical theory
Of the destiny of man. Its last
state was not worse that it's first;
on the contrary, it was very
much better. AS a matter of fact
the work of the Congress, now
that it is completed and of re-
cord, is far more satisfactory
than the country had anticipated.
Some comissionS and neglectS
there have been, no doubt. We
should have liked to see financial
legislation in the interest Of the
Nations credit, legislation cal
culated to put our great railways
on a more healthy basis-legisla-
ton, in a word, as to several
other matters relating to the
common welfare and prosperity.
But, upon the whole, the out
come has been more satisfactory
than seemed probably a week
ago, aud we feel that congratula
tons to the country and thanks
to Congress T in order.
It would, of course, be absurd
to deny Or even to pretend to ig-
more the fact that these two
years of Democratic ascendency
the first since 186O-have not
redounded to the party's credit
or strengthened its hold upon
public respect and confidence.
On the contrary, the record is
discouraging from a purely par
tisan point of view. The party
has not developed those qualities
Of coherency and strength which
are Indispensable 10 leadership
and without which successful
government is impossible. Il
has developed nothing SO much
as scnisms, crOss-purposes, and
discord. One House of Congress
opposed the other in the matter
of the tariff as bitterly as ever
the Republicans opposed the
Democracy on that OF any other
issue. The party leaders were
hopelessly divided as to silver
and inharmonious to the point OF
embecility with reference to ii
nancial legislation. Congress
permitted an im%pudent and i'm
Fortunate lobby Of naval officers
to defeat the bill to reorganize
the Maya measure strongly
approved by the administrator
and formulated, after patient in
v~estigation and laborious appli
cation, by a joint committee com
posed of members selected from
it's own body. Congress refused
to enact a railroad pooling law
and in the matter of the Pacific
railroad debt deliberately left tn,
government confronted with 6
dilemma which offers no alterna
tive Of safety or satisfaction.
Still, as we have said, the tern
of the Fifty-third Congress ha.
left a record Of achievement
much more creditabIe than WI
had any reason to expect whel
that body reassembled last De
Gender. It has at least not starv
ed the government or utterly i'm
Poverished every great nationa
work of development and expan
sion. The new Navy is not to b
crippled in its youth by a with
drawal of all sustenance. nor ha
the parrot cry Of economy" &C
Icomplished in other direction
the harm it might have done. A
the eleventh hour there seems t
have been a revival of courag
and of conscience, and the Fifty
third Congress, though it died
did not pass into eternity withou
, the hope of forgiveness and sa-
walton.
