Ambassador Bayard's plan and effort to make the people of this country and the people of England more friendly to each other have had at least the effect of making the English feel very friend ly to him. The London Daily Tele- graph announces it's intention of open ing a public subscription for tho pur- pose of presenting to MT. Bayard na- tlonal Christmas gift as a token of re- spect and good will on the part of the English people, in view of his approach ing departure from the country. The Telegraph will head the list with do- nation of e100 and will welcome the smallest contributions. The paper sug gests that rare and unique editions of the works of Chaucer and Shakespeare, of which it has already secured com mand, be procured as suitable gift to MT. Bayard. The Telegraphs principal editorial article is devoted to advocacy of the proposal and to warm tribute to the good and high-minded Ambas- sador, who has shown patriotism for America and filial affection for Great Britain-roses growing from the same generous stem.''
 Ambassador Bayard can safely take whatever may be offered him by the appreciative English. The Venezuelan Rquestion has ceased to disturb, and he will not be charged with lack of pat riotism. His diplomacy has been more successful, perhaps because more sim cere, than some expected it would be.

JAPANESE CHEdP LABOR.

When the Japanese surprised the Chi ing up'' the Chinese in a few short rounds they acquired such a reputation that it seemed to many that they could do anything they wanted to do. So when it was announced that they were going to conquer the industries and trade of this country as easily and quickly as they had conquered China there was quite scare. But the scare has subsided and it is now seen that this country will not have to shut up shop soon on account of Japanese com- petition. A very reasonable view of the situation is given by a correspond ent who writes to one of the leading English papers stating that, as the re- suit of his careful examination of the matter, he feels assured that the Jap
 anese will not, for a long time to come, be able to compete with the people of the western world in the Asiatic mar ket, to say nothing of European and American markets. The scare that was started about the manufacture of bicy- cles in Japan at an absurdly low price is, he maintains, a fair sample of many of the assertions that have been made on the general question of Japanese competition. These Japanese bicycles, he says, were handmade affairs, the work of rather dexterous blacksmiths, 1 but would no more find a market in l Europe or America than watches made | in Morocco would find ready purchasers | in these same places-except as curiosi- | ties. There has been, undoubtedly, a stimulus given to manufacture in
 Japan, growing out of the opening up | of the country to new ideas; but, so long as the people are compelled to im-
 port practically all of their machinery and practically all of the raw materials used by them in the processes of man.
 ufacture, there is not the least chance that they can compete with those who manufacture machinery, and who have the raw material close at hand.

manded by it's readers changes, the de- mand for light fiction decreasing and the call for more substantial works in- creasing. This natural tendency has been stimulated in the Philadelphia library by a rule permitting a reader to take out two books at time, but limiting him to one book of fiction at time. Even with this regulation, however, fiction represents more than 72 per cent. of the books taken from the Philadelphia library. The travel ing-library system has lately been in troduced, and these travelling libraries make the circuit of the railroad sta- tions, the re-englne-houses, and the police stations

.rusr,cE BEFORE GNsERosrrr.

An interesting point of ineligibility
 was raised against the fusion candi-
 dates for county offices in the recent election in Sac county, Iowa. They were not chosen, and there was conse-
 ouently no occasion to test the point
 fin court, but had there been it is believed that the point would have been
 sustained, as the Supreme court had ruled before on a like case. The in- eligibility consisted in public promise made by the candidates that, if chosen,
 they would make a united effort to have their salaries reduced twenty per cent. This. it Is claimed, was open bribery. The Supreme court has ruled that while an offer to pay money into the public treasury is not, in one sense, an offer to pay money to an elector, yet, as all electors are taxpayers, an offer to pay money into the public treasury, with the intent thereby to in- f1uence the electors to choose to office the person making the offer, has all the effect of the tender of 8. bribe. It does not matter, the court said, that the compensation allowed is larger than it should be; that is a question for the legislature alone. Choosing a candi- date to office because of such an offer, the court added. is akin to selling the office to the highest bidder; it invites corruption, and. by diverting the at tention of the voter from the personal merits of the candidates to the price to be paid for the office, it leads to the

upper side finished with several rows of small frills. This gives double measure of fluff about the hem of the skirt and makes very pretty effect when the skirt is held up to show the pretty under side and the silken skirt lining.
 This new skirt will be used for house and reception gowns, while the skirt moderately full and either of bell cut at the back or not will be worn on the street, just clearing the ground, It is notable that suiting that is double width heavy wool such as used to be called cloaking, is being used a great deal for street dresses, the skirt cuts to so much better advantage from dou- ble width goods An example both of this use of goods and of the new bell skirt just described is presented in the accompanying illustration. The skirt was dark brown plaid suiting and the bodice was a novel affair, suggesting somewhat bolero jacket. Its back and sides were brown cloth, cut away in front and bound with mink fur. A jabot of the goods was cut in one with the bodice and fell prettily from the neck. The vest was brown and red checked cloth, and fastened at the side. The sleeves were small and of the brown cloth and the high standing col lar fastened in front with a. tab of the goods and two pearl buttons.

FASHION NOTES.
Bell Skirts. Ahoy?

A change-indeed, more than one, is assured in skirts. While the uneXag- gerated skirt of the past season will be admitted for year or so, the narrow skirt is already hailed. It Is bell cut, but with a slight flare in front that ob- viates the tendency of the old bell to bind across the hips in front and'em- phaslze the abdominal line. At the sides the new skirt clings closely to the hips and while the graceful bell folds fall at the back, the swirl of pipes to which we have been educated lately disappears. The skirt touches all around, and distinctly trails at the back and is set on a silk lining, that is, the silk lining is separate, except at the waist band, from the skirt. The skirt itself is finished with rows of silk dust ruffiing, and the silk skirt is on the

The Idaho Board of Canvassers has made an interesting decision in regard to the vote for the woman suffrage amendment. The vote was 12,126 for and 6,282 against, and as the constitu- fion requires only a majority of the votes cast to amend the Fundamental law in any respect it might seem that woman suffrage was adopted. But the board says that the constitution in- plies that there shall be 8 majority of Rll votes cast at the election rather than of those for and against the propo- sition. On this ground 1t is to de- clare that woman suffrage was de- feated. The case will be at once taken to the Supreme court of the State.

Isaac R. Allen, the coloretl politician, whose election to the Executive Coun- cil was one of the accidental results Of the Republican victory in Massachu- setts, is apparently nc better liked by the respectable negro voters of Boston than by the white ones. At any rate, seventy-three of the former have is- sued circular letter, in which they declare that Allen is not a representa- tive of the colored people and unite with other citizens in condemning the nomination of men of his stamp, what ever their race, for public office. They call attention to the fact that of the seven delegates to the Republican con- vention, four voted against the selec- tion of Allen, even for what was then regarded as an empty honor.

President Wilson of the New York board of health has hit upon a practical plan of ascertaining how far the cem- plaints against the ringing of church bells or so-ca.!led "chimes" are sup ported by fact and public sentiment. Taking as a test case the opposition of the residents of Stuyvesant square to the bells of St. Georges Church, he has directed the inspectors of his de- partment to make house-to house in- quiry in that neighborhood to learn how far the objection is upheld by the com annuity immediately affected. If it ap- pears that the complaint is general the board of health will then give for nal hearing upon the case, and base its further action on the evidence thera adduced.
