Lillian Russell was chatting the other day
about the cost Of stage dresses. 1.-The price
of gowns" she remarked, made by first
class gown makers in France, England or
America is about the same. varying some,
but very little. The prices will begin at
say $50 for dainty ingenue dresses OF simple
inexpensive material, but pretty cuts run
from SIS to 500. $125 for tailor made
or calling costumes. sl25 to $50 for pretty
ball gowns and $50 TO $500 for more elabo-
rate ball gowns, or reception dresses, and
bcvond for handsome court costumes. The
price reaches up near the thousands If
handsome and expensive trimmings or laces
are used. These figures do not include
the complete costume, with the addition or
bonnets gloves, shoes. parasols, etc. At
the Coincide Franchise, in Paris, these
figures would cover the cost of everything.

the actresses in that company wish 10 go
beyond these stipulated sums they must
do so at their own expense. But In Paris
the dressmakers furnish the actresses more
elaborate costumes at these figures than 10
their ordinary customers, since all the
world turns to the Paris stage for the
latest fashions and fresh ideas. New YORK
ers are now following in the footsteps or

correspondent encloses-to us a let
ter printed in the New York Sun from
Judge w. B. Fleming to Secretary
Carlisle protesting against his removal
from a position in the supervising ar
chitect's office. The following para
graphs contain the substance of Judge
Fleming's protest, concerning which
our correspondent asks the G OBJ for
its opinion:

better than yourself the long friendship I had
manifested for you, the interest had taken
and the sacrifices of time and money made
by me in promoting your ambitions. In view
of all the facts, it seems to me that l was at
least entitled to some warning and notice be-
fore being kicked out Of Office without even

TO WED THE TWO OCEANS.
Endless Trouble and Delay With
the Nicaragua Canal

Like all Of the other great inter-
oceanic routes, the history of the Mic
aragua canal is replete with failures,
congratulations and heavy expendi-
lures before any visible work was per-
formed on the canal itself Nicaragua
granted concessions for the canal in
1889 to the Maratime Canal Company OF
Nicaragua, says writer in Chautau-
guam. This company was incorporated
under an act of congress in that year
with the provision that an annual re-
port be submitted to the secretary OF
the interior This corporation then
contracted with the Nicaragua Con-
struction company to survey and con-
struct the canal, locks, harbors and
cocks, and after exhaustive surveys
the route was determined upon and
actual work begun in October, 1859.
The first thing was to build an enor-
nous breakwater at GreytoWn to pro-
tect the mouth of the channel. This
breakwater extended LOCO feet out into
the ocean, and was built of cement and
concrete, and filled in with brush and
rock. The natural channel was wild
ened and deepened by dredging, and
the harbor otherwise improved and
projected from the ocean by expensive
measures.
Now. the present location at Grey
town is practically condemned, and
the breakwater will either be removed
or new one built An immense clear
Ing, extending ten miles back Of Grey
town. was made through the forest,
and similar clearing of nine miles
completed on the other end from Lake
Nicaragua. A harbor dock 26O feet
long was built. with machine shops,
houses and all modern steam appar-
atus necessary for prosecuting the
work. A railway line was surveyed
TO Ochoa,. twelve miles of it built. and
telegFaphic communications estab-
lished over the whole route Dredging
was commenced west Of Greytown har-
Dor. and nearly two miles Of the canal
were excavated- to a depth of seven
teen feet and from $50 to ESQ feet In
width
The value of a great interoceanic
canal or ship railway connecting the
Atlantic to the Pacific cannot be dis
ruted. and it will not be many years
before one of the three great routes
will be completed. but IT would be
hard for any man to predict rightly
at this time which will be the success

jured and agertevsd: It may contain
the facts and all OF them. On the other
hand, Secretary Carlisle may have
had reasons for this removal which do
not appear In the complaint OF the
person removed. No man and no
newspaper whose opinion is worth any
thing renders Judgment on hearing
only one side Of a case.
We may say in general that we be-
lieve heartily in that principle Of civil
service reform which protests against
federal ofiiceholders leaving their posts
and neglecting their work for weeks or
months at a time, in order to engage in
political campaigning. 1t is supremacy
silly for such people to talk about "the
rights of the American freeman" being
denied to them. 1t Is the right OF an
American freeman to vote and think as
he pleases. He has also a right to go
out and take the stump for his party
If he wants to make the necessary sac
rifice. But no employe of business
concern would write a letter to news
paper complaining because the head of
his firm had seen fit to discharge him
after he had been out making stump
speeches and doing no other business
for weeks or months In the same way
man who is doing business for the
United States government and receiv-
ing salary therefor has no right to
abandon his post to engage in political
activity
All this subject was covered long ago
by Mr.. Cleveland, during his first term,
in his orders relative to 'pernicious
activity" in politics. AS a matter of
course, this rule holds equally good in
both directions. If man is discharged
for taking the stump for Bryan, he
ought to be discharged with equal
promptitude for doing the same for
Mckinley or Palmer or any other can
didate. 1t is not the espousal of one
cause rather than another that is the
offense, but the substitution of politics
for business
From this rule, as from many others,
cabinet officers are properly excepted.
They are the confidential advisers of
the president, and their position gives
them greater latitude of action and
more personal independence than
others. Secretary Carlisle, therefore,
will probably pass this criticism as cas-
lily as he did that Of an injured en-
ploye who complained to Logan Car

DEMOCRATS IN THE CABINET

No doubt that he will settle It wisely. We
allude to the matter now only because Dem
ocrats are themselves discussing it in a
highly honorable and patriotic manner They
say that one of their number who should ac-
cept such an appointment would thereby in
cur certain obligations of loyalty to his chief
which would be, or at least might be, in
consistent with the maintenance of his own
sincere political convictions; while on the
other hand the coming administration could
not be successful from the public any more
than from the party point of view, IL the
president were embarrassed in the perform
ance of what he conceived to be his duty
by his desire to preserve harmonious rela-
tons with an adviser whose political creed
differed widely from his own.-New York
Tribune.
But their support did not identity the
Democrats who gave it with the Republican
candidate or policy on other questions 1t
did not commit them to support of his ad-
ministration. There is every reason, there
fore, why they should not allow themselves
to be placed in a position that will paralyze
their arm when they need to raise it in or
position to Republican policies that are at
war with every principle Of Democracy. The
patriotic Democrats voted as free men, They
must remain free to act upon the dictates
OF their coHsciences and under the guidance
OF their principles.-New York World.
