There is no binding on the lower edges

piece added cn that runs up high in
the middle and curves down to end on
the sides, and this band is covered
with ruff1es Cf the taffeta bound with
velvet, like big rosette that is spread

belt in front. The neck in front is
bound with velvet, with a single ruffle
turned downward. Elbow sleeves. The
same idea is carried out in white lace
with velvet bindings over rose.
A certain number OF gowns are made
with a fichu effect, but this style has
not had the success that was promised.
The reason seems to be reaction

Garrett A. Hobart, the candidate for
vice president, needs introduction to
the public outside of Paterson, N. j.,
where he resides. He is wealthy, and
is director in mercantile and business
concerns. He has not been very conspic-
uous in New Jersey, ven for a republic
an. How Hanna came to choose him as
a running mate for Mckinley has not
been explained, but the fact is that he
was Hanna's choice, and there was no
work left for the convention except to
shout, adjourn and to go home. IfHo-
bart is a big man he has successfully
concealed it. His responsibility for
the place is not questioned, any more
than is McKinley's for the presidency.
While Mckinley is known to show posi-
tive lack of qualifications for the presi-
dency, Hobart has the advantage Of
being above suspicion of lacking abil-
ity to administer the office ofvice presi-
dent.

of the regular "hollyhock" order. II
was one of the old-fashioned third-class
carriages, open from end to end, and, al
though it was full of passengers, the
pair began to squeeze hands and hug
as soon as they were seated. This, OF
course, attracted attention, and pretty
soon everybody was nodding and wink
ing, and several persons so far forgot
themselves as to laugh outright. BY

handed groom became aware of the fact
that he was being ridiculed and he
stretched himself to the height of six

Is the boss greater than the press2

The nomination of Mckinley would in
dictate that in the republican party free
dom of the press is worth little against
the license of the pocketbook. There
are few leading republican organs
which did not object to McKinley's
namc in connection with the nominal
ton when the campaign in his interest
was started. Now that he has been alb
solutely accepted by his party IS it's
chief representative, these same papers
are engaged in an effort to explain that
he is the universal choice of the peo-
pie. The country knows a good deal
better than that. 1t realizes that he Is
the choice of the bosses. not of the
masses. In view of the absolute con-
tempt with which the advice of the
party organs was treated, it is just to
conclude that, among republicans, the
Moss is mightier than the press and
that the purse is more powerful than
the pen.-St. Louis Republic.

The st. Louis nominations are no IN
prise. Everyone knew for several days
that Mark Hanna wouM nominate Nc
Kinley for president. To insure suc-
cess he packed the convention with up
wards of $50 contestants and the nom-
nation was bestowed upon Mckinley
amid a scene of uproarious confusion
and indicated a woeful lack of serious
appreciation Of the work in hand. The
demonstration was one of -recklessness.
Such a convention was never seen be-
fore. Such a thorough mastery of dele
gates wa never known before in a ma
tional convention. Such a rude and Of
fensive manifestation of mastery, by
a man who makes not the slightest pre-
tense to understand the eternal fitness
Of things in ~statecraft, has never been.
known in this country. And when the
nomination of Mckinley was finally ac-
eomplished, the restrained and restless
spirits of the convention broke out in
shouts that ~betokened the expectation
Of IN approaching deluge.
Mckinley is stronger to-day than he
will ever be again during this CANE
paign. His nomination was secured by
the suppression of the sober Judgment
of the majority of the republican party.
1t was a victory for the tariff extrem-
lists. Even in the case OF McKinley's
election the victory will be barren, for
the tariff reform that has been accom-
plished is bound to remain.
The nomination violates the wisdom
Of the party. It offends its best senti-
ments, and it does not add to McKin-
ley's strength that some OF the power
full bosses in the party were Inundated.
Mark Hanna has downed Platt and

consciousness of their inferiority will
