A Slip of the Tongue.
From the Boston Herald Qnd.O,

Mr. Bryan is TO be congratulated upon
his abandonment of his favorite phrase,
the enemys country" describing those
sections where the sound money senti-
ment is so overwhelming. 1t was an I'M
fortunate phrase for a presidential candi-
date to indulge in, but Mr.. Bryan did not
appear to have arrived at full apprecla-
ton of this fact until his political oppo-
nents had taken advantage of his oratori-
cal blundcr.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Climax Approaching.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)

Our country has survived great many
political encounters in which each
party has charged the other with
the awful purpose to destroy the
republic. We have reached that
stage Of the campaign of 1896, though,
with which no "spellbinder" would be
caught acknowledging that there could be
escape from monarchy or despotism I'M
der any party but his.

The information is that Gen. Weyler is
about to form a military drag-net and
sweep the island of Cuba from end to

The republican spell-binders that have
been at work in Maine are to be sent
to the southern states, according to the
New York Press. Already a number OF
them have left the east for Maryland.
Virginia and West Virginia, and more are
to follow. 1t is said that the republican
managers have hopes of largely increasing
the republican vote in several of the south
ern states, and possibly carrying those
mentioned above. The democrats GER
tainly have no objections to the enemy
hugging such delusons. as It will draw
republican fighters from the really de-
batable grounds.

1t is stated that Secretary Herbert has
decided upon California, Alabama and
Pennsylvania as the names to be given to
the three new battleships, contracts for
which have just been awarded. The Sc
lection will meet with general approval,
except possibly from a few sore-heads,
The three states named are among the
greatest and richest in the union, and de
serve the compliment of having new and
modern naval vessels named for them.
From sentimental point of view, how
ever. 1t would have been more desirable
to have the sister ship of the Kearsarge
given the name of Alabama.

The populists of Mcpherson county.
Kansas, have precipitated a fight on the
matter Of Bible reading in the public
schools. The treasurer Of the school fund,
populists, objects to the teachings of
the Bible, and is making efforts to throw
1t out Of the school houses. The other day
he tore down all Of the scripture quota
tons that hung on the walls of the school
houses in his district The action so en-
ragged the patrons of the schools that VIC
lence to him was narrowly averted The
matter has been turned into something Of
a political controversy, the democrats and
the republicans supporting the Bible, and
the popuhsts supporting the atheistic
treasurer.

a Louisiana man and his two sons have
been successfully prosecuting what might
be called a skin game during the sum-
mer. They have been catching alliga-
tors for their hides, and are said 10 have
averaged 500 a month from their sales
during the season. Their success illus
trates two things; first, that alligator
skins are not so scarce as people who sell
alligator skin bags would have buyers be-
lieye, and the second Is that the bayous
Of Louisiana will probably not become IA

Congressional Delegate Catron of New
Mexico, has two sons. He has named one
OF them candidate for West Point, and
the other a candidate FOR the naval coll

West Point is named as the alternate for
Annapolis, and the one for Annapolis as
the alternate for West Point. BY this
means the thrifty delegate is sure to have
his boys taken care Of. at the public ex.

DRESSING THE HAIR.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
Ladies',


The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it ;s very long. very
thick. and II most beautiful color, yet
cannot be worn hanging down in braids,
because you are too tall for anything so
childish. nor fastened up in graceful
Psyche knot at the back of the head,
quite near the neck, because it is too
heavy. and comes tumbling down at in
convenient seasons. Lovely hair, but
an embarrassment OF riches, is it not I?
If it were my hair, and | were the
dear young girl who finds it a bother
and u burden, | would coil it up on top
OF my head and wear it like Il crown. /
wouldn't mind its having the effect of
making me look taller, and l would
stand up very straight, and look as tall
rs l could. In my opinion height is a
beauty, and | never care about girls
being tall, except to admire her. Tall
girls must mind that they carry them
selves well, and do not stoop nor crane
their head forward us if they had lost
something and were pcrpetually look
ing for it, You remember Tennyson's
picture, do you not, a word picture such
as only a poet could paint:
"A daughter of the gods,
Divinely tall and most divinely fair"
If the coronal effect were unbccom-
ing, or gave n feeling of weight on top
of my head, then would braid the hair
in several strands, and mass it all over
the back of the head. I would simply
part it in the middle, and avoid fringcs,
and bangs, and little curls, crimps, and
other attempts at decoration in front.
When hair has natural wave or ripple
it is very pretty, and should have its
way. but straight hair ia pretty too. and
girls should be satisfied to wear their
hair in the style nature intended for
them.-Harpers' Round Table.

vote stood 77S for Gaymon to 433 for
Westerman. The Grand county vote Is

there will be sufficient to bring Gay

In one of his addresses in Denver, Mr..
Bryan said:
"When preach equality before the
law, am not seeking to take from any
one that which is justly earned or to in
terfere with the earnings hereafter of
any amount that person can acquire
by his own intelligence, his own indus
try or his own thrift simply mean

gain, and that the great masses who
aro tao ,,nr,a.a... -, i.~.--- -i,-..A i~-:..i"
tive halls shall not be plundered by the
few who can send lobbyists there"
The above brief paragraph is an ex-
position of what the people want and
WILL have, and is expressed in words
which will become historic. What a
grand leader in righteous cause is this
man Bryan.
