parel. There is a close, habit-like skirt,
which is the extreme mode of the hour.
1t is so close and fits SO snugly over the
hips that it fastens by an invisible
row of buttons in the back seam. The
average fashionable skirt has the front
plain and close fitting on the hips, with
the fullness thrown to the back, but

instance, are ornamented by two rows

How to Wear Wells.

These are few new points about
wells. The latest edict is that two
should be worn. One is of dotted net,
white or black, and is put on close to
the face. The other, which is of chif-
fon or mousseline, is placed loosely
about the hat and hangs in waving
folds. Plain brown is the favorite color
just now, though dark blue is very
fashionable, especially when dotted.
Chiffon wells of dark colors have white
or black chenille dots. Plain white or
black net must also be dotted. The
sheer wells, without dots, save the skin
somewhat from the dust and are made
thin enough not to be uncomfortaby
warm, while the fashion of pinning
them loosely is another contribution to
comfort. A recent pretty fad brings
real lace wells into prominence. These
are worn on the broRd-brimmed hat
and are very becoming. Many of these
are heirlooms and have that soft vel
lowish color peculiar to laces packed
away for years and impossible to imi-
tate by artificial means.-N. Y. World.

A FAULTY FIFER.

Ex-Governor Fifer of Illinois, like all
other champions of protectionism, en-
tertains strange notions concerning
the relation of a civil government to
the people. In speech on the tariff
question some time ago the Illinois
politician with musical name said:
"The question is whether or not our
government shall, by tariff legislation,
protect its own industries"
Absurd as is the idea embodied in
this statement it is in keeping with the
regulation tyaddle that lerpetually
flows from the mouths and pens of
men who attempt to bolster up the
tariff superstition. AS our government
has no industries to be affected by a
tariff, high or low, of course the
Illinois statesman had reference
to the private industries Of the
country. Those industries are es-
tablished and operated, as they
should be. entirely by private parties.
Each industry should be severely let
alone by the government and permit

merits. No man has any moral right
to ask the government to help him
make his personal business profitable.
For if he has brains enough to qualify
him for running peanut stand he
must know that the government can
not aid him financially without rob-
bing somebody else. On the other
hand any legislator with brains enough
to qualify him for being third assist
ant secretary of crossroads lyceum
knows that the government has no
moral right to di scriminate either for
or against any mans business. On the
contrary it is the duty of the govern
ment to see that all citizens are equally
protected in the enjoyment of their
natural rights, and then let results
take care Of themselves.
As has heretofore been stated in
these columns, if one man anywhere
in these United States has a right to
special legislation in aid of his busi-
ness, every other person in the country
has the same right. All special legis-
lation, however, in the interests of pri-

For mother love, W tn tender spell,

While Mrs. Gill, over the tubs,
Scrubs and washes washes and scrubs.
Down through the areaway there floats
The cry OF the news boy, strident notes
Telling how on a field OF fame
warrior won him a heros name;
The sailors clung 10 a reeing de X,
And served the Guns OF a shattered wreck;
A hero mounted the ladder tall,
And plucked a fe from the flaming wall;
While Mrs. McGill, over the bs,
Scrubs and washes, washes and scrubs.

Lo from the throats OF a thousand bells;

She draws auout her a faded shawl
While sweet con Mt in the rough, worn face
kindles brighter than beautys grace
Home she hastes, where the long day through
The little ones watched and waited, too,

Wages In "stricken" Industry

While Chairman Dingley and his associ-
ates were writing that report in which they
express desire to encourage stricken in
dustries by adding 10 per cent to the
present duties on iron and steel and other
products enumerated in the tariff law, Mr..
Carnegie" and Mr.. Frick were writing no.
tees announcing an immediate increase
90 to 10 per cent? of the wages of their
employees in the coke district. AS sim
liar advance is made by other coke makers,
the number of men affected is about 6 900.
The first or the second OF the several nun.
dred increases of wages made last spring
ana summer was one of . per cent. affect
ing the earnings of these coke workers.
This coke and the iron ore of the Lake
Superior district are the chief raw materials
of the pig-iron industry.
How absurd it is to say that the iron and
steel industry is "stricken'' and needs the
announcement" of an addition of 5 per-
cent to the present duties-an industry in
which there has been large and general
increase of wages since March last, and
which now boasts of an output, for the first
year of the Democratic tariff, largely ex-
ceeiing that of any year heretofore New

SISTER UTAH

Saturday, at 10 a. M, President
Cleveland attached his autograph to
the document providing for the admis-
sion of Utah to the family of sovereign
states, and today the new common
wealth will inaugurate its initial gov
ernor, and the people will begin to ex-
perience the actual responsibilities of
self-government.
In Utah the sisterhood of states
have an acquisition to be proud Of
Outside of California no similar area
of the earth is 30 richly endowed with
valuable and diversified resources.
Within the borders of the newborn
state large majority of the staple fruits,
vegetables and cereals may be abund-
antly produced, while her mountains
are stored literally with the minerals
essential to industry, science and art.
To Utah it matters not which of the
three metals, gold, silver or copper, the
United States select for their monetary
standard, she has plenty of each, while
her immense coal and iron deposits are
practically untouched and are probably
even greater than is generally sup
posed up to date. Like our own state.
Utah needs but the power of capital in
the hands of enterprising and ambi-
tious people to make apparent her pos
sibilities as wealth producer. We
hope the state government just as
snmed will be conducted along such
lines as will attract in plenty the men
and the money the opportunities call
for.
In the admission of Utah Southern
California is materially interested. In
the development which the assump-
ton Of the powers of self government
may be reasonably expected to stimu-
late, it is altogether probable that the
great transcontinental railroad enter
price, with Salt Lake and Los Angeles
as the terminal points of the contem-
plated line, will receive an impetus
that will hasten its completion. Tne
general exploitation of resources and
possibilities that will ensue as the re-
suit of political freedom in local af-
fairs and the right of representation in
the councils of the federal government
is bound to focus the attention and
interest of the promoter and investor
In railway projects that seem to be
feasible in the new state, and we may
be sure that one so advantageous as
the Salt Lake and Los Angeles road
will not be omitted from consideration.
