THE Chicago Tribune wants TO apply
reconstruction methods to some of the
smaller northwestern and western
states. The commemorative which
particularly arouse the indignation OF
the Chicago republican paper are Ne

led to representation in congress on
the basis of population. a state ought
to have 1898 inhabitants to each
representative in the lower house of
congress. Nevada had in 1920 a popu-
lation of 40, 791, not one-fourth enough
TO secure single representative. But
neither Delaware, Montana, Wyoming,
Utah or Idaho had in 1890 population
enough to entitle them to a single
representative in the house. The Chi
cago Tribune remarks that no state
not actually entitled to such represen
tation should be permitted to enjoy
and exercise it.

MR. BRYAN has returned to the pen.
He contributes an article to the De-
cember number OF the North American
Review, in which he insists that the
defeat of free silver is only temporary.
He finds some satisfaction in recalling
that, although Mr.. Greeley was de-
feated in 1872, Mr.. Tilden was elected
in 1876, and that, although Mr.. Blaine
was defeated in 1884, Mr.. Harrison
was elected in 1888 AS Mr.. Bryan
continues to regard the presidency as
a personal matter, and insists that be
must be the candidate in 1900, it may
be pointed out to him, although Mr.
Greeley was defeated in 1872, he was
not elected in 1876, and, although Mr..
Blaine was defeated in 1884, some BODY
else was elected in 168S.-New York

THE San Francisco Chronicle prints
a New York dispatch saying that the
officers of the National Wool Growers
association claim that there has never
been in the commercial history of this
country so great loss in a few months
as that caused to the wool growing in
dustry by the Wilson-Gorman measure.
These gentlemen, the dispatch goes on
to say, are authority for the assertion
that the change from the Mckinley
tariff has cost the wool growers and
those Immediately dependent upon
them $500, 600, 900 since 1892, and
a government revenue of 50 O0O,O q
year. They say further that every
sheep grower in the country has been
impoverished, q number wrecked
financially, while others have lost
their farms and personal property. In
parts of Texas, it is said, sheep raisers
have driven their flocks Off on the
prairies to get rid of them, as no one
would accept them, even as gift.

ADVICE TO MEN.
Don't Wear Long Hair and an Air
Dishabille.

DishabiIle.
In seeking to win the affection and
friendship of women, dear boys, you
will find dress an important thing to be
considered, says woman writer.
Although l will not go as far as to say
hat a woman's heart has ever been
,roEen by a badly-brushed hat, have
Known a woman to look at Il bulginS
shirt bosom and decide that even II she
Gould ever consent to pillow her head
IDon such an rtable-lOOkln%
spot the loud vivacity of the waistcoat
beneath would make rest there quite
impossible. I am not going to tell you
what to wear. That is the work of
nightier intellects than mine. And
here are the young lady male imper-
senators of the variety stage to copy.
These represent the woman's ideal of
mans clothing. I may, however, prove
myself useful in telling you what not to
wear. To begin with. there is one rule
you should have written on your mir
rors. 1t is this:
Do not dress like genius, even if you
are one.
The average woman has strong
aversion to go out with a gentleman
who-because laurel wreaths have gone
out of Observation-Disclosures for them
long hair, short trousers. decOllete
shirts and a generally carefully ar
ranged dishabille.
The average woman is Il silly little
thing, you know, and she would rather
that you looked commonplace and well
groomed than that every newsboy
should be able to tell that she is walking
with an intellectual giant.
As for the woman above the average
well, she knows that you're not Il
genius, anyhow. You can't fool her
with freak neckties and doorknob
studs.
Remember that | am directing your
doings to meet the tastes of the ma ior-
ity of women. There are ladies who
go riding on tandem bicycles with gen
tlemen who wear red suits, and some
women love the society of a neclltie or
vest that almost banks.
The ring, watchchain and bric-a-brac
habit is popular with young ladies who
stand on the other side of the foot
lights and have a taste for anything
that glitters even if it isn't IS carat.
BY this class of lady you may be loved
for your scarfpin, but a large percent
age of the weaker sex prefer to do all
the glittering that is to be done them
