The Mic. Distinctions in Dress

Flowers of delicate shade of color. ad-
justed on the Jacket collar with extreme
care as regards the matching of color
and the rest of the costume, are a very
pretty hnlsh for dressy occasions; but
nothing could be more tawdry and un-
pleasing than huge common geraniums
stuck on each side of a black Jacket
which is worn over a blue or green skirt.
The same may be said of colored sill,
fl onts than which nothing is capable of
being in worse taste unless chosen with
care, a consideration for the occasions
upon which they will figure, and with re-
gard for the rest of the toilet-St. James

The Endorsement of Major McKin-
lCy's candidacy by Mr.. T. V. Powderly,
formerly general master workman of
the Knights Of Labor, is significant.
Mr.. PowdeTly is II of the ablest and
fairest OF labor leaders. and he knows
the needs OF labor as well as any man
in America. His Endorsement of Nc
Kin!ey and Hobart is therefore prac-
iiCally Il declaration that the interests
If labor require the success of the re.
publican ticket, and that the election
Of Bryan wo.ld be a misfortune to the
wagc-earner. Mr.. Powderly's words

have been foremost in promoting the

state very ~anXiously. Maine will vote
next Monday, and for the last 20 years
Maine has been the political barometer
of the country, indicating what kind of
weather is promised each party in No
vcmbcr.
Maine has generally been republican.
hut whenever the democrats have been
able to reduce the republican majority
in Maine at the state election in Sep
TENDER they have had high hopes for
success throughout the country in No
vcmher. In 1880 the democrats and
grcenbackers in Maine fused, nominat-
ing General Plaisted. an old republic
can, for governor. and they elected him
by n plurality of 1888. 1t was the last
republican defeat in Maine. and it was
regarded as ominous for the party in
the November election. But Garfield
carried Maine by S,S6S in November,
and swept the country. Since 1880 the
republican majorities in Maine have
varied from S.S72 in 1882 to 3S,97S in
1894. Blaine had a majority OF 20.O60
in 1884. and Harrison had a majority
of 23.253 in 1883. but in 1892 the repub-
lican vote in Maine dropped from 49,
134 in 1883 to CO. 1923. and the republican
plurality vas only 1879. This was re-
garded as a dangerous low water mark
for the republicans, as it indicated a
large stay-at-home vote. And it was
indicative of the result. for the repub-
lican stay-at-home vote in 1892 elected
Mr.. Cleveland. Last year Maine gave
her largest republican majority. 3S.97S,
and ii was indicative of republican in
tcrcst in the election. Again Maine set
the pace in September for the republi-
can maioritios in November.
The democrats are particularly anx-
iOus about the Maine state election be-
aus Mr.. Sewall lives in that state.
and the question is whether he is a
help or an embarrassment to the ma
tional ticket. If Maine gives a good re-
publican majority e. Monday the
democratic committee may be forced
to take Tom Watson's view of Mr.. Sew
all, that he is a "wart on the party, a
knot on the democratic log" Then
will come the question to Chairman
Jones whether he shall pull down Sew
all and run up Tom Watson.-Inter
Ocean.
