 First the bodice front is strung up and down with a network of big beads reminding one of those queer portieres of dangling bead-work that make the men swear so; and upon this are sewn four frogs, and at the bottom is huge satin bow, and the shoulder straps are set with sequins and glittering gew- gawry.

 Mrs. Craigie was herself a study in black. It is no longer news, but it may be of interest that she wore big black picture hat with plumes, that her eyes were black, her cheeks red, her girdle golden, her gown black, with sable and seal lines in the bodice, and her orna- ment bunch of pink roses; and that Mrs. Burton Harrison stood stolid in a tiny toque, a study in brown tints; and that the American woman who lives in England looked much less Eng fish than the American woman who lives in America, and acted with more animation.

A HopeIess Cause.

The state of Colorado appears to be more prosperous than ever before, and the consequence is that the people have to a large extent stopped talking about silver The Engineering and Mining Journal takes notice of the fact that at tue recent Festival of Mountain and Plain" in Denver there were no refer ences in the banners and placards to the legend of sixteen to one and none to any phase of the silver question as a political issue This" says the Jour nal, was the more striking since the parade of the first day was intended to be an allegorical representation of the development of Colorado and it's in dustries. The fact of the matter IS that the silver question is as dead in Denver as it is in New York. We do not mean to say that the people of the western city are no longer interested in the price of silver, for the metal is one that they produce in large quantities, but, with the exception of the dema- gogues. everyone has come to the con- clusion that the cause of independent tree coinage is hopeless, and no one pays much attention to the dema~ gogues.

 The Speaker Apperrs to Be Favorins
 Cheap Money Men.
 There are few over 100 democrats in the house. About one-balf of them are sound-money men. The rest are advocates of the free coinage of silver. It is the speakers present policy to ignore and humiliate the sound-money democrats and to bring the silver men to the fore He will brutally suppress all that element of the minority that is safe, wise and of good counsel, while be gives prominence and such power as he can to those members who would instantly destroy the nations credit if they could
 The committee on rules is one of the most powerful and important of the house committees. Speaker Reed and Speaker Crisp made it so. This commit tee can at any time bring in a rule that will determine the fate of a pending measure. It can guide and virtually contro. the action of the house. In the 53d congress this committee consisted of Speaker Crisp, Mir. Catehings, Of Mississippi; Mr. Outhwaite, of Ohio, and Mr. Reed and Mr. Burrows of the republican minority. Speaker Reed will be a member of his own commit tee One of the two other republican, members will succeed Mr Outhwaite. But it is MT. Reeds intention to depose Mr. Gatchings and put in his place MT. Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, an ob- stinate, utterly unreasonable silver man and one of the leading promoters of the unconstitutional income tax. Mr. Crisp, an equally hopeless silver lunatic, will be the other democratic member.
 We need not remind Speaker Reed that this proceeding will give the lie to the solemn assurances he gave to some of the leading business men and ffnanciers of New York, that it would be his aim to promote sound and con servative business legislation. Mr. Reed knows it, and the New York busi- ness men who relied upon his honor and good faith will know it. He cannot play the honest patriot here and the dishonest and dangerous partisan ill Washington without detection and dis grace. The silver craze is dying out i'll the country. It is dying out in the democratic party and in the republican party. Every business man has per sonal interest in it's early and complete extinction For MT. Reed to give it every encouragement in his power, to make it prominent, to give it prece- 1aT,ca i7, fha T7iD01,i+y naftfV in the house, is not only an act of unsPeakabie perfdF, it is an infamous attack upon the credit and the industries of the country.
 The soundness of Mir. Reeds own financial views are by no means beyond suspicion His ambitions and his poli- ties are his own. of course, but he has no such holl upon the confidence of serious men and sensible voters as to put the realization of the one beyond danger of fatal hurt from even small mistakes in the other.-N.

Chinese Tactics.

The Chinese soldiers accepted their fate from the outset, after their first decisive experience; resistance to the enemy never really entered their minds, their sole preoccupation being 10 make room for the enemy as he ad- fanced, while keeping up some form of fighting. This relation between the two armies became so we'll under stood before the close of the war that the Japanese commanders were wont to send word to the Chinese that they would attack such a point at such a time, when the Chinese general would place his main body in a neutral position, leaving small de- tachment to fire off some cartridges for the honor of the flag. and retire. This incredible procedure is quite in keep ing with Chinese military traditions, the campaign against the Taeping rebels was conducted much on the pro. forma system till toward the end; an imperial officer on one occasion, speak ing to q foreigner, summed up his own justification in the neataxiom that two people eould not occupy the same place at the same time-'.if they come,

SOUND MONEY SAYINGS.

....It is reported that the free silver ties have formed an oath-bound secret organization, and it is to be hoped that they will thus be able to conceal at least a portion of their abundant folly.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 ....When the silver miner and bullion owner shall have established by legis- lation government grist mills, which shall convert every 50 cents worth of farmers wheat into a dollar of flour, it will be time enough for the farmer to advocate laws which shall convert every 50 cents worth of silver bullion into dollar of coin.-J. Sterling Morton.
 ....The man who wrote "Coin" has descended far enough to be the head of a secret-bound society for the promo ton of free silver. That is always the last step The American people do not long tolerate secret political societies. They respond to open, manly appeals and to no others-Iowa State Register
 Senator Jones, of Nevada, thinks that there will be a separate silver party in the field next year. It looks as if there will have to be, if the advocates of free silver are to have chance to vote for their hobby. Nothing in poli- ties is surer than that the democratic party in 1896 will have nothing to do with free silver, and the sentiment of the country on this issue has become so manifest that it is probable the repub- lican party will for once not attempt to straddle the financial question: Tol,isVilIe Co,lrier- IOurDal

FREE SILVER CRANKERY.
Advocates of White Metal Money Should
 Be Squelched.

Populist Allen, of Nebraska, pre- tends to want the senate of the United States to instruct it's committee on finance ito inquire into the advisabil- ity of opening the hints to the free coinage of silver" He says his reason for this is the fact that ''the first es- sential in time of war is money" If he had sufficient sense to know that the first essential of money is buying power, both in times of war and of peace. he would not father an asinine resolution to adopt which would cut down by one-half the buying power of every dollar left in circulation in the country the day after his foolish scheme was made law.
 Nearly one-third of all the money in circulation in the United States is gold and gold certificates. That would dis appear instantly with the adoption of the free coinage of silver, and the re- maining two-thirds, consisting of silver dollars, subsidiary silver, and various kinds of paper, including the national bank notes, would shrink one-half in buying power We then would have total stock of money nominally two thirds as great, but having a purchas- ing power only one-third as great as at present. Secretary Carlisle stated publicly few months ago that with their present capacity all the hints of the United States could not add more than about $40,oo0,ooo per annum to the stock of silver money. So if Senator Aliens in sane notion were aetualized we should have an immediate shrinkage of CT per cent. at time when the sinews of war were most wanted to pay for the con struction of numerous vessels and forts, for the manufacture of ord nance, small arms and ammunition on a vast scale, and the clothing and feed ing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors. this to be com pensated for by the addition of a miser able three per cent. per year to the ter ribly reduced amount of effective power Of the money in use. The fellow who talks free coinage of silver at sixteen to one" now is a public enemy and should be summarily squelched as such. for the adoption of the mad scheme would do more than all else to render the government of the United States unable by force of arms to de- fend and maintain the Monroe dee- trine-Chicago Tribune.

had been built at Salisbury, Mass,
that year and was named from the
treaty which had been concluded
with France. in January, l779,
he sailed in her to Brest, France,
when General Lafayette returned
to that country. In February,
1870, his ship was joined to the
squadron of John Paul Jones, and
cruised with it from L'Orient as
far south as Bordeaux in June of
same year; then sailed north
along the Enlish coasts until the
engagement between the Scraps
and Bon Homme Richard took
place. On this cruiser the Alliance
captured the Betsy, % guns, and
Union, % guns. She then sailed
to Texel, and then to Croix,
France, arriving there in February,
1880. After a short cruise in the
Bay of Biscay, on July 9th of the
same year she sailed for Boston,
Mass, arriving August 16, 1850.
In February, 1871, she sailed
again to France, arriving at
Torrent, from whence at the end
of March she sailed on cruise,
and on May 2Sth captured two
briggs, the Atalanta, 16 guns, and
Trepassy, IA guns, after a severe
action in which she lost II killed
and 81 wounded, afterwards
reaching Boston in safety. In
1882, the last year of the war,
practically, the Alliance fought
her last action while on her way

Outlook for Cattle and Beef.

The National Provisioner says: with
the decreasing demand for poultry. and
the thereby increased demand for beef,
it would not at all be surprising to us
TO see the price for the latter commodity
somewhat higher in the near future.
We believe that the low cattle and beef
prices are 70 a larger extent due to
sympathetic influences than to heavy
supplies, since the quantity of cattle re-
ceived at the principal packing centers
is not by any means very large or much
in excess of that disposed of in normal
years. We do not agree with some of
our contemporaries representing the
interests Of the farmers, who believe
that there will be a shortage. but bet
ter demand, now that the holidays are
over, and a consequent stiffening OF
prices can, in our opinion, be safely
looked for, the more so since there does
not seem to be any prospect for very
heavy supplies in corn-fed cattle, in
spite of the fact that there is more corn
to feed them with than there has been
for many years. This is probably due
to the fact that while prices for beef
are low or reasonable, those for feeders
are comparatively high. Better prices
in the market for beef would certainly
induce the farmers to hold their cattle
for higher prices, and that would prob
ably bring out better class of beeves
than has been in The market of late.
In other words, we foresee higher prices
for the better grades"
