1t is possible yet Cat this writing)
to pass Senator Buffers bond bill
and stop the deal, but THE CAUCA-
SIAN entertains but little hope that
it will be done. Such course of
procedure is too much at variance
with the policy of the greater num-
Der of the Democratic and Republi-
can members of the Senate. They
are truckers to the money powe r
and such Infamous schemes as the
President is bent on carrying out.

The President attempted to make
a secret deal of this bond issue as he
did with the others, but be it said to
the credit of press and people, that
while the most influential of them
did not oppose an issue of bonds,
they did oppose the nefarious
scheme of secrecy, and did so with
such vigor that the President stop
ped negotiations which had been be-
gun with the Bankers and Jew Syn
dicates, and advertised for bids
from the people of the country for
these bonds. While we think the
bond issue absolutely unnecessary,
We are certain that all offered will
be bid for at not less than ST.. IL on
the dollar--perhaps at 81. II, and this
will show the measureless rascality
and trickery that attended the sale
of the last batch of bonds at little
over $1.04. The New York World,
which favors all the bonds and still
more bonds, denounced in the strong
est language the proposed secret
deal with a syndicate, and threw a
bombshell into the Cleveland gang
by Offering to take one million dol
lars at $l.17.

The Populists will vote either

neither Republicans nor Demo Gratis
will vote with the Populists to stop
it, we want to ask how either of the
old parties can shift the response

come forward now and crush this
blood-sucking system. The Popu-
lists are appealing to them to do so.
II they will not, let both forever
stand under the condemnation of an
outraged and BETRAYED people.

bonds will involve an interest pay

In thirty years it will amount to one

must pay it and the already strong
money power will add this much to

BLOSSOMS IN THEIR HAIR.

Il rs the fashion among the summer re-
sort girls to wear two or three bios
SONS tucked in their bair.
L Though 1t is considered a novelty
this year, the idea is an old one.
Our grandInarnmas, when they wished to
look most coquettish, would pin rosey in
their hair and then blush as red as its
petals. But for years the wearing of
natural flowers In the hair has not been
considered good form. Ribbons. feather
pompons, and aigrettes have taken their
place.
But the French girls OF today have agreed
that their summer toiletis not complete un-
less a flower or two rests against their hair,
especially when they are gowned for the
evening.
And. OF course. lis the aim of the Ameri-
can girl to copy her French sisters. There.
fore the old fashion is again revived, and
the summer girls never looked prettier.
The young woman who has never before
attempted wearing flowers In her bair will
do well TO remember that there Is right
and a wrong way OF arranging them. To
obtain the best effect, the flowers should
look as though they had been tucked in the
hair without thought and In the most
careless manner.
This is the way they should look. but
not the way they should be arranged.
Great care should be taken not only as
to their selection but the position they
occupy in the hair.

CHANCES or AATRiAoNY.

" HE Radcliffe College authorities are
delighted when an alumna or u
senior announces that she is en-
guged 10 be married.
There seems 10 be an unformu-
lated and certainly unspoken feeling that a
girl by becoming engaged vindicates her
self aud proves that the higher education
has not impaired her charm and attractive
ness TO the other sex.
This attitude reminds one of the noted
Englisllnan OF whom Col. Higginson tells
who visited u large and unusually siscess-
ful girls school In London, and who. after
expressing admiration Of the curriculum
and methods, inquired ingenuously of the
principal: But after all. madam, doesn't

little time TO comprehend that he referred
to their chances OF matrimony.

II was during the proinenndes that Miss
Baird attracted the attention OF young
Bryan and Irritation was begun. This led

ranged at the home of a relative OF the young

first meeting was but q forerunner OF q

But the enjoyment OF the young couple was

A few days prior TO this event Bryan had

their consent to visit the young lady. Al

SOCIETY WOMEN BEGGING
They Want to Go on the Cruiser
Brooklyn's Trial Trip.
An Invitation to Constructor Hich-
born's Wife Makes Them Envious.
Gossip OF the Gay World.

Fair society women OF this city may, al
though it is hardly probable. be aboard the
great cruiser Brooklyn when she speeds
along the New England coast. TO prove ter
self worthy to carry the banner OF Uncle
Sam and incidentally to earn a few premi-
ums for excess of contract speed.
Just now. however, the officials Of the
Cramp Company at Philadelphia, are hav-
ing trouble OF their own with the immense
assembiage that would like to accompany
the ship and enjoy an ocean voyage as
guests of the builders.
No government ship ever had woman
aboard during her trial trip. and while it Is
scarcely likely that the Brooklyn will have.
she is in the record breaking business just
now, and this record OF precedent may be
fractured, as well as the cruiser speed
| mark.
The idea OF any women being aboard had
its origin some days ago In this city, when
Charles II. Cramp invited Mrs. Philip Hich-
born, wife of Chief Naval Constructor Hich-
born, to visit the Brooklyn In Boston harl,ur.
he having learned that the Hichborns would
be in that city about the time OF the ships
arrival.
1t soon became nosed about that Mrs
Hic.lborp would accompany the ship On the
trial run, and Mr.. Cramp found himself del
Cged with applications from many prcmi-
nentsociety women Of this city who thought
| they would ike the trip.
| Now the Cramps are used to having thou
sands of applications for passes at various
| functions connected with the big SHIPS they
build, but this is new experience. Even
| Henry W. Cramp. whose ability TO smooth
over such difficulties is well known, trem-
bles when he opens Some dainty missive
| and discovers a fashionable maid or ma
| tron who could find it convenient to go on
| the trip il she had an invitation
AS yet no invitations have been given,
but as one OF the firm expressed it yester-
day: ..Wedou't know what will happen
next, maybe we will give the ladies' a spe-
cial excursion on the Brooklyn, but as for
the speed trial, we'll, that is aBother story"
| When it is considered that the trial is
| run at the expense OF the builders entirely
| and that SO much depends upon the event
| the absence of any who are not actually
engaged in the work OF the trial can easily
be uDderst TODD.
