DRIFT OF OPINION.

sEIt is becoming harder every day
for any intelligent and self-respecting
man to remain in the democratic party.

State issues? Of course the re-
publicans will discuss state issues
They will discuss them every day in
the newspapers and every night on the
stump during the campaign. But they
will insist on national issues also.
They will insist the more on them, be-
cause the democrats are afraid of them
Oh. so afraid.-Iowa State Register.
President Cleveland is still
doomed to disappointment at the nom

government receipts for the month will
probably not amount TO more than

ONLY a SHAM.
Useless Fuss and Firing In the Ranks of
the Democracy.

Useless Fuss and Firing In the Ranks of
the Democracy.
Real battles have not been witnessed
In this country for thirty years Hence
It is supposed that the new generation
may take profound interest in sham
fights Two democratic wings are
blazing away at each other with all
the fury of blank cartridges, and as
some recruit may carelessly load with
ball, it is possible that somebody may
be undesignedly killed. But what is
the object of all this fuss and firing?
Ex-Speaker Crisp demands that the
democratic party declare for free coin
eye of silver, not in equivocal and
tricky phrases, but in words so plain
that they cannot be misunderstood.
His declaration bears on it's face the
belief that this is the only chance his
party has of success; by making this
the controlling issue he expects to
cause many people to make new party
alignments." Senator Vest, Of Mis-
souri,, has just sent out eight hundred
letters to prominent democrats of that
state urging the call of free silver
convention. The son of Senator Palmer,
of Illinois, himself opposed to silver
coinage, declares that the silver craze
has taken complete possession ''of the
democrats of Illinois outside of Cook
county" that the free silver convention
in June will unquestionably control

Magazine covers assuredly are not

nevertheless they always make accepta-

costing more in labor than In pence.

To make it, buy one-half yard of

Announcing the Enga<.men..

Ladies' Home Journal. This Is done

friends or by note to those whom Il n
desired shall receive early information

Churlish, indeed, would be the spirit to
withhold interest In new engagement,
and the telling Of it by the principals
almost always inspires kindly feeling
for them IN those told. Lovers have,
perhaps, the best founded claim 70
thinking themselves Of first interest to
a community Of any class Of people,
and are quite entitled to assume all Of
the honors and privileges of the situa-
ton.

the party, and the effect will be ''the
reorganization of both parties on new
lines" The Iowa democrats have gone
to pieces on the same issue. Mean
while the president, at the other ex-
treme, demands vigorous agitation
against free coinage and for gold mon
ometallism, and Secretary Morton has
made most emphatic declaration in
favor of the gold basis only, while Sec
rotary Carlisle is 20 make two speeches
il Kentucky, and one of especial i'm
portance at Memphis IN June before
the sound money convention" to be
held there.
These are all democrats. They are
all fighting most desperately to get
control Of the democratic party, its Or
ganization and conventions, in order TO
force upon the country the naked issue OF
free silver coinage. What they all want
is "a reorganization of both parties"
in the words of hard-money Palmer, or
to cause people TO make new party
alignments," in the words of soft
money Vest. Behind the smoke and
the thunder of the firing they both
want the same thing-to get the people
away from the issue on which the dem
ocratic party fought in the last cleo
ton. and dishonored itself in the last
congress; away from its pledges and
peridies on the tariff question; away
from its cowardice and corruption, its
shameless barter and its bill of sale to
monopolists- Both hostile factions in
this sham fight agree that on the tariff
issue the democratic party Is dead and
doomed by the people to extinction,
and its only chance of success is TO
abandon past principles and pledges,
and force another issue and'a reorgan-
ization of parties, on the chance that
it will cause many republicans to
make new party alignments."
In certain sense, il is real fight.
Each OF the factions seeks to control
the democratic party organization. so
that it can hold the sharp sword Of
party discipline over the other. Each
wants to seize the leadership, the con-
troll of the organization, and the Offices
wherever and whenever the party can
get any. Thus the battle IS desperate
II earnest as between the two factions,
but every body will observe that neither
one nor the other proposes to step out
and fight for its ideas in another or
new organization if beaten in the dem
ocratic convention. President Cleve-
land and his free-trade friends of the
reform club do not propose to help the
republicans in order TO save the coun-
try from populism and free silver.
Speaker Crisp and Senator Vest, also
free traders, do not propose to help the
republicans in order TO save the coun-
try from gold monometallists- What
they both want, with all the despair
i-g energy of drowning men, is to get

SECURING TALENT.
Thea. F. G. TO Give the Best Entertain
ment Of the Season.

The various committees to whom were
entrusted the arrangement Of details in
connection with the musical and dramat-
is entertainment to be given by the AS,
toria Football Club on next Wednesday
evening at the gymnasium have reported
highly satisfactory progress. Some Of the
best singers in the city have very kindly
consented to participate, and these with
Mr.. Herbert l.. Brown and Professor
Newton win make an attraction greater
than any that has ever been offered in
Astoria for some years past. The club
has invariably been successful in its ef-
forts to please, and the presentation of
the program on Wednesday evening win
no doubt be a browning triumph. The
following deserved encomium from Judge
Stephens, of Portland, will show the ap,
preclation in which Mr.. Brown Is held:
"Your very evcellent and pleasing man.
ner Of expressing legitimate mirth was
fully exempldfied at the last two enter
tainments at which had the pleasure OF
beng present. assure, my friend, you
were deservedly popular with the mem.
bers of the A. o. U. W., who will always
give you a warm and fraterual welcome
In the future"
Many other equally high compliments
have been paid Mr.. Brown by the officers
Of the Multnomah Club, Brigadier-General
Beebe, and other prominent society men
Of Portland, and by the press generally
throughout the country.
OF Prof. Newton the Oregonian recent
ly had this to say: "Mr. Newton has a
laugh which is inim.table, and his imita-
tions are so funny as to bring down ths
house in a perfect storm of p,audits"
The entertainment, which will be for
the purpose of raising funds for the pur,
pose of fixing the grounds for the sea,
sons outdoor games, should certainly
realize a sufficient sum to make the
needed improvements.

FASHION NOTES.

Skirts remain straight and round, with
godet and organ pipe backs.
The newest materials for costumes are
alpaca and bareges of the Old kind re-
vived.
A fetching cotton fabric showing fancy
stripes on dark and light blue grounds is
known as marine twill.
The general revival Of wash material
for gowns will be an interesting phase
Of the summer world OF fashion.
All bouffant effects should be left en-
t.rely to the thin woman, who needs them
and can wear them with good results.
Patent leather shoes with black stock
ings ard tan shoes with stockings 10
match are the reigning styles of the sea-
son.
Tan women may wear long capes with
good results, but those who are short or
Of medium height should wear them
much shorter.
Among silks taffeta has the preference
for spring and summer wear, as 1t is OF
light weave and Is produced in great
variety Of effects.
New silk waists of Rob Roy plaided
taffeta silk are made with plated fronts,
BIAS yoke backs, full elbow sleeves, and
velvet stock collar.
Hats of combination straw and satin
braid are trimmed with bands and
rosettes or standing bows of the same
pliable fancy braid
Crepe ribbons are made with satin
edges that often contrast in hue with
crepe, which is very soft and is particu-
larly effective in stock collars.
Corsets made especially for cycling are
fitted out with elastic on the hips and In
the fastenings back and front, so that
they give perfect freedom to the figure.
Blouse waists of finely striped washing
silks, with turnover collars of lawn or
white silk edged with lace, are the coolest
things possible and dainty to look upon.
Morning suits are made of plain or
fancy linen, duck or Tev1ot suiting with
flaring but not godeted skirt, pleated Nor
folk basque, and immense sleeves and
sailor collar.
Fine laces will be used for trimming
gowns of India muslin. 1t is a novel de-
cree of fashion that coarse laces are most
suitable for use on brocaded taffetas and
similar fabrics.
A stunning boating costume is made of
blue and white striped canvas, with a
box plated blouse waist open in front 10
show a shirt of tucked lawn trimmed
with narrow lace.
Nalnsooks, batistes and linens are much
used for little folks dresses. The tiny
tots look very charming i'm colors, but
they are sweetest when dressed in pure
white from tip to toe.
White parasols of plain silk and no
trimming are the prevailing fashion for
general use with light gowns, and in ad'
dihon to these are the changeable silks
for greater service, and some that are
covered with large Scotch plaLds, very
conspicuous, but rare in the procession.
