A GOLD STANDARD VIEW.

The New York World, an ardent gold
standard advocate, inadvertently admits
that Tree coinage will benefit the masses
by the publication of non-p litical com
ments at the head Of its commercial and
market reports, in which it explains the
causs OF the present business depression
and makes predictions for the future
The World says:
There is a good deal of foolish talk
going the rounds. but this is nearly al
ways the case when the public mind is
agitated by financial or commercial con
ditiOus that are at best but imperiectly
understood. What the investor as well
as the Spectator wants 10 consider is
whether we have not already discounted
the possible effect OF the success Of the
silver men. Let any one run his eve
down the official printed list OF sccuri.
ties OF the Stock Exchange. lie will
find that there are mighty few proper
ties today that are not selling at figures
which formerly would have been con
silered low even for the stock and bonds
OF companies in the hands OF receivers.
For every one stock selling at par
and over there are twenty that would
only bring $50, $40, $50, $50 or even $40
share now. The argument Of money
Spectators who are selling stocks short
is that the success Of free silver will
knock spots out Of the whole market
They acknowledge that it would put up
the neceEsaries OF Of lie, such as cotton,
grain, provisions and manufactured ar.
tlcles OF most kinds. and right here it
may be said that if free silver should
carry the day the owner OF securities
would lore no time in marking mp the
price OF his wares, just the same as the
farmer or the manufactured in order TO
compensate for the increased payments
he would be called upon to make fJr
most OF the articles OF commerce.

TIE court house ring attempted to
carry the Republican primaries in this
county by voting Democrats. In Rath-
drum with Republican vote OF 81 over
80 votes were cast. It was not so bad
in this precinct, as well known Demo
Gratis who attempted to vote were
challenged. The same story Is told Of
Democrats having voted in almost every
precinct for the ring delegates. Men
who resort to such methods 10 OBJ

and their records, from the time
they were s1ck!ing babes at their moth

rap,u .l.,ess rootls are losino cassie an

Fancy dress goods are losing caste 30
quickly that those who bought them
carly in the season stand aghast. Yet
very pleasant it is to welcome once
more the plain materials. Serge, cash
mere and lady's cloth are all great fa-
vorites, and are exactly suited to per-
son who can afford but one gown sea-
son.
At present lady's cloth is the material
which is in greatest favor. 1t is used
most effectively in q charming gown
that is purple in color. Four and half
yards of the cloth were bought to make
skirt and bolero. The side seams of
the skirt and the jacket were trimmed
with gold embroidery, while the loose
bodice was of pale yellow silk. ...
The design is exceedingly pretty, and
may easily be carried out in other ma
terials. i2.i"
The purple cloth costs one dollar n
yard, and is both too costly and too
striking in color to be suitable ordi-
narily The color, however, may be
changed to dark blue or green. By
treating the cloth carefully after it is
bought, 5O-cent material may easily
be made to look as well as one twice that
price.
The cloth should be rolled between
wet sheets and laid away to dry. When
it is nearly dry it should be pressed on
the wrong side. and lined with thin
canton flannel, which gives it more
elegant appearance.
To replace the silk waist what could
be prettier than bodice of Shaker
| flannel, say in one of those fine checks
that come in such dainty colors? Some
that saw to-day, in a soft fawn and
white, would be simply irresistible with
green skirt.
Over it should be worn the jacket of
, green. That and the skirt might be
braided with a fine white cord, and as
pretty costume rs possible would be
the result. And, if made at home, its
cost would not rise above six dollars, in
Guiding margin for those innumerable
nothings that do make gown cost so
much.
The collars of this years coat are
novel and exceedingly chic. They stand
high upon the back, then flare outward
In front not an inch of throat is seem
it is entirely covered by the close-fitting
collar.
Another popularity of this years
coat-it buttons invisibly under far
on one side.
Smooth cloths are more generally
worn, but the new fur jackets, with
vests of erminc, are so pretty that q

similar effect, in cheaper materials, is
aimed at.
This is secured by the use of heavy
boucle, or astralihan. Gray astralihan
makes a pretty, Inexpensive coat, but
one would soon tire of it if it had to be
worn continually. For the vest of q
coat designed in this way velvet, prefer
ably gray or green, should be used.
Or, if that is too expensive, veiveteen
may easily be substituted by one who
understands the proper use of that ma
terial-which is to have the nap run the
wrong way. Try it, and see what q
beautiful luster is acquired and how eX-
actly like silk velvet it looks.
A band of ribbon crossing the belt and
tying at the side adds pretty finish.
In this, however, it is essential that
! quality be considered. The great lesson
to be learned about gowning is, that
while very cheap materials can be made
to look well, it is absolutely necessary
that ribbons or laccs be of good quality.
Little tots are particularly bewitch-
ing just now. They toddle about in
fairy clothes-lilte tiny travellers from
another land.
Poke nonnets, with wide brims tied
under the chin, will be worn. They are
of the heavier materials, velvet, ben
galine, felt, or the material used in the
| cloak, and are trimmed with feathers,
lace, ribbon or fur.
Although one would suppose the con-
| trary, children's cloaks should be care
fully fitted, especially over the shoul-
ders and back. The cloalls are all cut
alilte-tight-ftting in the back, with
loose fronts.
Small bishop sleeves are required, and
! the collar may be either round or
pointed. If pointed, it may be edged
with a ruche of the material, or fur; if
round, flounce of lace, or null edged
with lace, should cover it.
Bengaline, smooth-fnished cloths
and yelvets, are the best materials.
More serviceable cloalis, not quite so
dainty, may be made of rough-haired
materials. The lighter colors should
be chosen, such as soft pink, gray blue,
or light brown. When q darker color
is used, it is we'll to introduce pink in
the bonnet strings, and also on the
collar.
Hght-colored cashmeres make in.
expensive cloaks that are exceedingly
pretty. This material may now be
bought for about 25 cents a yard. II
has not any great degree of warmth
but by lining it with fiber chamois II
can be made as snug as fur cloak.
Cloaks are. ankle length, and fit close
around the neck. To make the neck
still warmer, many bonnets tie with &
great bow of ribbons under the chin
and have a small cape around the back
If one cares for the additional ex
pense, a narrow edge OF shaggy fur may
be put around the collar and sleeves
and used in the hat trimming.

FOUR DAMS ARE LOCATED.
Preparatory Work for Big Ohio River
improvements.

Preparatory Work for Big Ohio River
Improvements.
The Government survey of the Ohio
river, between Pittsburg and Marietta,
preparatory to the building of seven
locks and dams, Nos. 2, 8, 4 and 5, has
been completed.
At the last session of Congress 81, 1,oo0,-
900 was appropriated for the building
of these locks and dams, and s25, 900
appropriated for an accurate and de-
tailed survey of the Ohio river for this
purpose.
Early in August of the present year
parties under Messrs. A. L. Spreen, G..
L. Mehlhope and Clinton Harris were
sent out to set low.water guages to be
used on the survey. In the middle of
September the main party left Cincin-
natl, and joining the first parties at
Pittsburg started down the river on
the survey. The expedition was under
the command of Mr.. R. R. Jones, AS
sistant Engineer to Major Heuer, U. s..
G. E., stationed in Cincinnati. Mr..
Jones is an engineer of long experience,
and has been in charge of Government
work throughout the country.
The entire party consisted of ~ men
and had its headquarters on com
modious quarterboat built especially
for the survey.
The United States steamer Edna had
the quarterboat in tow and was also
used in transporting the different par
ties and their instruments.
Lock and Dam No. l, at Davis Island,
has been completed and has been in
satisfactory operation for a number OF
years. 1t gives Pittsburg a good har-
bor during the entire year. -
Lock and Dam No. 6 is now in the
process of construction, at Merrill, Pa.
The lock walls have been completed,
but work was discontinued for the win
ter on account of high water. No work
has as vet been done on the dam.
Between these two locks and dams
four new ones ,, 3, and 5, are to be
built. The location of these has al
ready been determined upon, with the
possibility of few slight changes.
The survey for this year was tied ur
at Industry, Pa, about thirty-threc
miles, by Government lines, from PIT
Bridge, Pittsburg. This distance in
cludes the entire six locks and dams.
The survey will be continued next
summer, as soon as there is suitable
weather and good stage of water
probably after the June rise.
Too much attention can not be giyer
to the improvement of the Ohio river
Commercially it is of vastly more i'm
portance; than either the Missouri OIL
the Mississippi. The immense Goa
fields along the river in Pennsylvania
West Virginia and Ohio will ultimately
necessitate good stage of water from
Pittsburg to Cairo. The army engi
neers have asserted that the river i:
capable of mnch improvement, anC
with proper appropriations great dea
can be done.
