The DaIrymen Who Succeed.

Do you ever find a herd of COWS
yielding 300 pounds of butter apiece
in the hands of one of these farmers
who sheer at the experiment stations,
farmers institutes, dairy schools, dairy
conventions, and dairy papers and
books? OF course not. AS the man
thinketh so is he. 1t takes faith in
better things to do better than we are
doing. We must have faith. These
skeptical, disbelieving farmers, who
kneer at every element of progress, are
the men who make no progress. They
are the hand to mouth" men.-Hoard's
Dairyman.

TO WEAR IN THE SADDLE.
Becoming Costumes for Women Who Ride
Horseback.

The woman who rides should remem-
Der that in the fit and style of her habit
depends her appearance in the saddle.
Fashions in riding costume change but
little from year to year, but that little
change means much.
The entire outfit should be obtained
from the best habit maker in town.
This year there are two riding coats in
vogue. One is jaunty double breasted
cutaway, made to show n vest and linen
chemisette. 1t has a small turnover
collar and peaked lapels to roll open;
also a mannish pocket near the left
shoulder. The other coat is single
breasted and ends at the waist line in
point, with coat-tail back. The first
coat is the more popular, as every wom-
an who rides delights in vest, and it s
il this coat that the vest is displayed to
advantage.
The latest vests are of Tattersall vest
ing in plaid designs. They are extreme
ly stylish and give the correct touch of
color to dark costume. The novelty
of the season is a dark blue and bright
green plaid. Plain red vests are always
in favor during the fall, and they are
pretty enough to be worn the year
round.
Shetland cloth is perhaps the newest
material for riding habits, but the
standard cloths, like whipcord, melton
and covert are always to be relied upon.
The favorite colors are dark blue,
brown, black and deep green. The skirt
of the well-made riding habit does not
fit too tightly over the hips. 1t meas
ures two inches below the foot when in

Jeweled Censers Which Actually Burn a

Jeweled Censers Which Actually Burn q
Dainty Perfume.
The modern woman has taken to
burning incense at her own shrine. The
latest thing in jeweled smelIing-bot-
ties is a veritable censor that swings
from milady's chatelaine and when
lighted diffuses a delicate perfume and
a tiny cloud of incense.
At an Cperatic matinee the other day
very elegant young woman in tailor
made gown and fetching millinery
getup produced her whilom smelling
salts at the most affecting moment OF
the performance. AS she snapped open
the cover and fine streak of circumam-
bent vapor curled softly up and stole
athwart the :ootlights, there was a
craning of nccks in her neighborhood
for two whole minutes, while the
women tried to investigate the latest
idea in elegance.
This new perfume burner, as it Is
called, has displaced the vinaigrette and

Hanna's tool to any considerable ex-
tent. He is congratulated by such
men as Governor Russell, of Massa-
chusetts, in the most cordial tones.
The fact is that Major Mckinley is a
great large hearted American, and
this fact outweighs political prejudice
in the minds of large men. 1t is only

Considerable opposition is develop
ing to the schemes of Mr.. Chamber
lain for the aggrandizement of the
British in Guiana. The colonists there
are averse to. the propositions of the
colonial secretary, and his specially
accredited agent, the new governor Of
the province, Sir Augustus Hemming
is withstood by the high court on pre-
sentation of his plans. This leads to
the superstition that the colonists
know that Chamberlain is pushing
them over the divide and they do not
propose to submit to it. This inciden-
tally strengthens the views of the
situation taken by Venezuela and con-
firms the opinions held in this country
of British lack of title.

Spain will find out before she has
pushed her arms over Cuba that war
is an expensive luxury. She has al
ready expended vast sums of money
and sent to the theater of operations
an army of $4,000 men, and yet she
persists in saying that there is no war
in Cuba. Under this Interpretation it
might be difficult to determine when
a war was in progress anywhere.
This however, in no sense vitiates the
proposition that as a humane nation
the United States should put a stop
to a conflict in which the persons of
women are subject to the lust of a
brutal soldiery, the babes of the
household liable to have their brains
dashed out by soldiers musket, even
while in their mothers arms, and
murder in cold blood the rule and not
the exception. Spain knows or she
does not know that these things are
so. If she does not know she should
be taught right speedily; if she does
know she should be made to stop
such horrors at once.

Spain perspires like a man in a
Turkish bath over the situation, and
her press fumes like the man in the
throes of the rabies when it delivers
itself on United States affairs, but all
the same, when it comes to declaring
a rupture by official act of her senate
Spain does not do it. In this thing is
the wisdom of method. Let Spain
break her treaty protocol of 1877, in
fact. and it would not be long before
the United States would serve notice
on her to look out. That document
agrees to preserve the rights and prop
critics of American citizens in Cuba at
any cost. Spain is not doing this now,
but let her serve notice on the United
States that she has no intention of do
ing it and then the fun in Cuba would
commence in dead earnest.

Foreign nations are pleased with the
nomination at st. Louis. In so far as
it relates to the monetary planks of
that platform the satisfaction is open
ly expressed, but with the declaration
on tariff this is not the case. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is accepted as the great Amer
lean protectionist, and this fact, coup
led with the strong ground taken in
the platform for protection and recip-
rocity, are accepted as threatening
the productions of foreign countries.
There is no doubt that the intention at
ST. Louis was to declare strongly in
favor of what is accepted as the
American doctrine, and this is not
likely to please either Germany or
Great Britain.

There is a real sound feeling of sat
isfaction on the part of the working
classes with the nomination of Mr..
Mckinley. The major has always
favored the arbitration of the difficult
ties arising between capital and labor,
and while in congress supported every
measure looking to the establishment
of boards of arbitration. He is also
known as favoring such conditions in
the industrial world as will insure to
American labor the highest possible
returns, for he is himself a man of the
people, and is not unmindful of the
struggles of American laborerS. He
is more man of the people, in the
best. sense of that term, than any man
nominated to the presidency since the
days of Lincoln. His speeches in and
out of congress demonstrate this.

Corpus Christi Caller with its usual
decency and good sense calls William
Mckinley n Tool. Correct. McKin-
ley is the tool nominated by the up
rising millions of the Republican par
ty to save the nation from the free
wool and free hides and free ponies
and free cattle that have come into
Texas by the swarm since the adj
ministration at Washington declared
against home industry and in favor
of Mexican productions. He is the
tool chosen to work out different
financial policy to that of Cleveland
by which the public debt has been
increased S263, 100000 in time of
peace and the industries Of the nation
stranded. He is the tool chosen to
force open the shops and mills that
have been closed by the hand of the
policies of the past
three years, and possibly in time to
open the ears of such stupidity as
manifests itself in utterances like that
taken from the Caller. He is that
kind of a tool.

Those South American states of the

Sam because he is so outspeken in his
denuciation of Spanish atrocities in
Cuba, and threaten to cut off their

increasing numbers of these indepen-

obtain and men will be selected for
office because of their fitness to bear

A Good Law,

We are glad to note that the legisla-
ture of New York has passed law
prob biting, under penalty of from 800,
to $500, the exposure of fish, game, or
poultry before any shop or store. This
will do away, in the state of New York,
with the exposure of the dead carcasses
of animals in ali conditions of mutt
lation which have heretofore decorated
the fronts of butcher-shops in every
civilized city of the globe. The law
has moral as well as hygienic value,
in the protection of the eyes of the
public from revolving spectacles; hence
it is to be hoped that the example of
New York will be followed by other
states. Good Health.

His Argument Not Sound Enough.

Senator WolcOtt's jaunty remark that
"there is not nation in the whole
world that would take one of our SOW
ereign states as gift, with its people,"
sounds well. 1t has spunky, independ-
ent ring, that is calculated TO tickle our
patriotic ears. Its rhetoric may be
somewhat strained, for how can a
sovereign state be either given or
taken as gift? But that point is dis
regarded in the joyous thought that our
people are so brave, so self-reliant and
so impatient of the effete despotisms
OF the Old World that none of its ma
tions would consent to accept their ter
ritory with the attendant responsibility
of governing them, collecting their
taxes and making them do anything
but what they please. 1t is a grandil-
tquent sentiment, but is it true? 1t
was not true when England fought for
eight years to keep the original thirteen
states as her colonies. 1t was not true
when the same power tried to grab the
northern half of Maine, nor when she
succeeded in grabbing a large slice Of
our northwestern territory, nor when
John @. Fremont saved California from
her clutches by a hard ride across the
desert to hoist the American flag on
the Pacific coast few hours before a
