CHICAGO, ILL, Sept ia complain
ing delegation OF prominent Missouri Re-
publieans arrived at National Committee

made no cohcealment of their dissatis-
faction with Chairman Filley's manner of
conducting the Missouri campaign aud
admitted that the object of their mission
was to present the true status of the party
affairs to Mr.. Hanna. suggesting that Mr..
FIlleY be induced to turn over new leaf
without delay and to ask that an abnn-
dance of literature and speakers be sent
into Missouri, or the State would be lost
to Mckinley.
The delegation complained that stacks
OF literature which had been sent to the
State Committee In St. Louis was living
there because the committee, which was
really Mr. Filley, had no money TO distrib-
ute the printed arguments among the coun-
ty committees and elsewhere. Richard @.
kerens, who was defeated by Mr.. FilIey
at the st. Louis convention, headed the
delegation and spent yesterday in Canton

story. In the party were also Congress

men are depressed. They have nobody to
send after a man like Mr.. Reed and Mr..

TO be measured when it is considered that
Senator Gray, Senator Villas, Senator Lins-

have all been driven into opposition. Elk
Governor Campbell is silent, ard Senator
Hill can be of no service no matter what
the Buffalo convention may do. These
men are all capital speakers, and without
them Democracy, which ordinarily could
command their best efforts, goes begging.

WANTS GOLD MEN TRIED
A Minnesota Politician Asks
That Bourke Cochran Be
Indicted.
Says That Thousands Are Dying of
Starvation B cause of Scarcity
of Silver.
CHICAGO, I'LL, sept.16.-A special from

CHICAGO ILL, Sept, ia special from
st. Paul, Mimi. says:
Attorney General Childs has been asked
to secure the Indictment of Bourke Cock
ran while the New Yorker is within the
State making an address at Minneapolis
this evening. The complaint against
Cochran is contained in written COM
munication signed by H. Ellingston, a
writer in favor of free silver.
Mr.. Ellingston maintains that the pres
ent depression is attributable and legally
traeeable to the depreciation of prices due
TO the criminal reduction of the amount
of legal tender money in circulation by the
demonstration OF silver.
As direct result of this Ellingston in
sists that thousands are yearly dying of
enforced starvation throughout this coun-
try, in Minnesota, as we'll as in the States
where silver mines have been forced to
close, and he declares the blood of these
martyrs is on the hands of every official
who has an open part IN the advocacy of
the maintenance and continuance of the
present, as he terms it, unfair and parti-
san standard.
Mr.. livingston demands that Bourke
Cochran, as the open and aYowed apostle
OF the conspiracy, be apprehended and
proceeded against with due form OF law,
anu Win Oh t.le legally NECESSARY 10 the
preservation of the rights OF the American
citizen. Ellingston processes no desire to
take snap judgment on any citizen, but
saws he demands that the rights of man
kind be tried before tribunals which the
fathers of the Republic in their wisdom
established, and that persons responsible
for The terrible con ditlons which are eaus-
ing the death OF thousands of human
beings year after year be brought to JUS
tIce, regardless of political, social and
other prominence and OF prejudice to ex-
isting political contests.

The first institution of packet services
across the two channels and the North
sea probably dates back to very ancient
times. In the days when England was
a province of France, and during the
later period when France was a province
of England, the need Of channel for
regular correspondence must have made
itself irresistibly felt; and even after
the loss of Calais the long presence OF
English troops and English agents in
the Low Countries called for almost as
constant means of communication with
Holland.
The service probably made a great
stride in the days Of the protectorate
for Secretary Thurloe, who hung the
secrets of all Europe at the protector S
girdle, could do so only by means OF
uninterrupted correspondence with his
agents abroad, and, being postmaster
himself, could regulate the packets to
suit his wishes Still the system was
not extended outside the narrow seas
either during Cromwell's reign or that
of his successor. The need for such ex-
tension became pressing only through
the growth of our colonial possessions.

Here, as is usually the case good
form is in accordance with good sense.
A blotted page is not uniform in ap-
pearance. More ink is taken from the
lower, the more freshly written part,
than from the more nearly dry writing
above, and so the writing upon the low
er part of the page is paler and for that
reason it is less legible. The blotting

the recipient of the letter, His taste
may be offended by want of uniform
Try, of harmony i'll its appearance, and
the fact that the letter has been Hotted,
that the writer has hurried to get

GOLDEN WAND OF TACT.
Absolutely Essential For the Achievement
of Social Success.

MY dear girl, writes Ruth Ash
more in response to a girl inquirer in
Ladies' Home Journal you fail so
cially because you look uninter2sted,
you stand off and have a don; care
expression on your face. This drives
would be acquaintances away and sug-
gests to a hostess that if you donoi care
and show it so plainly she need net care
to send you cards another time. Society
is really based upon the golden rule,
and it demands from you not only SYM
pathy, but that outcome of the best Of
sympathy, tact To be u social success
you must learn to say the right things
to the right people. Do not talk about
flirting widows to a woman in mourn
ing nor Of the value Of beauty to an
aged spinster forced to wear blue glasses.
The aged spinster may be apcrfect well
of learning and wit You will find this
out if you touch her with the golden
wand of tact.
Possibly you are nervous and shy.
Try to overcome that. Force yourself to
say something. If you are unfortunate
enough to be easily embarrassed, at
least get used to the sound of your own
voice, and then you will not find your
self screaming from sheer nervousness
when you wish to speak low or whis-
pering in husky manner when your
words should be distinct. To be a social
success you must govern your voice, and
usage is the only thing that will make
that possible. Do not be afraid to speal,
of simple things. There is no man toe
learned not to be interested il that
which interests a pretty girl and nc
woman too old or too world worn not tC
care about ribbons Or flowers, sweet
meats or novels.

MODERN DRESS,
Its Remoteness From the Happy Effects
Demanded by Art.

We are not so quiXOtical, says the
London Telegraph, as to ask sincerity
and carnestncss from the modern art of
dress, which has quito VIGOROUSLY hid
den away the divine outlines of the
feminine human form in outrageous
costumes" and CONNECTIONS, utterly de-
stroying folds and drapory, upon the nat
ural grace and value Of which in classic
days the chief sculptors did not disdain
to employ their careful chiscls. Imagine
Pheidias or Prayitclos today copying a
blouse or a divided skirt in q Pentclican
marblel Imagine even Hindoo or a
japanese lady being rather pleased and
proud than otherwise that her French
bonnet maker had supplied her with ge-
raniums or lilies in dyed muslin which
deceived hee. Apelles, indeed, thought
| it legitimate praise to hear that the
birds came to pick the grapes which he
had painted on the archon's wall at
Athens. but painting has illusion for
| its proper object There is, we repeat,
an unmistakable air Of reprOach and re-
bukc to modern fashion i'll this little
anccdotc of the bee at the London gar
den party, which warned beauty and
youth how artificial they are in the way
of becoming, to the point of upsetting
the orderly course of things, and max
ing even the bees and butterflies sl1epti-
cal about flowers We shall not pursue
this line of moralizing nevertheless
in the first place because every line
which could be written would but add
to the undesired pride and complactncy
of the artificial flower makers, who will
soon, we suppose, offer to supply our
gardens and greenhouses, and, in the
next, because the strongest representa-
tions of reason and of taste are vainly
made against the mysterious goddess of
fashion. She will go on decreeing what
extravaganza, what enormity, what bar
barism pleases her and her votaries-
not ashamed because a honey bee took
her false blossoms for true ones, but de-
lighted at the compliment, and bent up
on fresh devices to mislead and cajole
the world which humbly obeys her man
