have you seen the girl who. having
been a Cooks tourist in England. now
pronounces Charles as if IL were in two
sylIables?
Don't you expect to meet the girl who
goes yachting for one afternoon and
afterward talks as il she spent her
summer in cruising and wears her
yachting costume day and night? At
least. her intimate friends say that her
nightgown has a sailor collar on it.
Don't you expect to meet, during
your peregrinations. that dainty young
gentleman who. having heard that the
harsh American voice is objected to in
London. has got his tones down so
low that you cannot hear a word he
says. and you are under the impression
,that his general idiocy has affected mis-
tongue?
Don't you expect to meet the man
who. having played three games of golf
and ridden a bike twice. does nothing
but talk of athletics and outdoor
sports?
Don't you expect to meet the child
who is impertinent through all the long
summer days and who comes home in
great, need of immediate treatment from
the professional spanker?
DON'T you expect TO meet on Broad
way the actor got up TO initiate
Booth and who is overanxious TO tell
you that he might have played leading
parts. but that he preferred smaller
ones?
Don't you expect to meet the girl who
goes in for being tailor made. whose

Tight sleeves-and sleeves grow so

the neck arrangement, which is much

seem to have no necks at all. This Is
the result of overcovering the neck.

You may take the cheapest of batiste

have it properly placed upon its skirt.
The fullness in the front at the top is
almost imperceptible. At the back the
plaits are a little fuller, but not much,
and the great mistake made by the in

Mercantile reports during the past week
present unmistakable evidence of marked

Of the tariff bill by the Senate, with votes
indicating the passage of a measure in
harmony with the protective theory, has
given confidence to business. The hopeful
address of the President and the optimistic
speeches of Secretary Gage, business man
of rare sagacity, appear to have had an
excellent effect not only in this country,
but in Europe, which is indicated by an in
creased demand for American securities.
AS has been noted by the Journal, the
volume of business transacted by whole
salers and jobbers in the leading cities is
well up to that of 1892. The chief complaint
is the depression of prices, which do not
afford trade'a fair return. Those who have
examined the matter say that the prices in
the leading branches of manufacture show
q remarkable similarity to those just be-
fore specie resumption in 1879, which was
followed by an unexpected advance, both
in production and prices 1t is true that
the warehouses in the seaport cities are
crowded with imported goods, and that this
fact may retard an improvement in bust
ness which might otherwise be rapid, but
this merchandise will be absorbed in a
short time when the conditions are such as
to give general confidence.
There is one drawback, but that should
not be very serious-the desire of a class of
demagogues that the depression should con-
tinue, to the end that they may gain some
thing in coming elections because of the
misfortunes Of people who have no employ
ment or fair compensation for what they
have to sell

The North Manchester Leader says

Can anybody tell US what has become of
Hugh Hanna-the Indianapolis. Hanna-who
moved upon Washington several months
ago, with his gold-fake committee to settle
the money question? We really supposed
when Hugh took things in hand that some
thing was going to be done.
There is nothing the matter with the In
dianapolis Hanna. Although he has not
made much noise since Congress met, he
and his committee have done some effective
work, the fruits of which will appear later.
Probably there is not a man in the United
States outside of Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet,
perhaps not another except the secretary
of the treasury, who has received a more
distinct assurance of the Presidents deVo-
ton to the cause of monetary reform and
of his purpose to take active steps to pro-
mote it either with without the co-opera-
ton of Congress. Those who thought that
when the indianapolis Hanna and his COM
mittee took hold of the money question
something would be done will not be dis
appointed in the outcome. Let them be
patient.

A. DEAD ISSUE.

1t does not take much political fore
sight to see that free trade as a leading
issue or controlling factor in American pol
tiles is dead. The course which the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate are pursuing shows that
they see it. If there were any chance of
defeating the pending bill or of making a
record available in future campaigns they
would fight every inch of ground, as they
did on the Mckinley bill. Instead of this
their opposition to the bill is so perfunctory
and listless as to show they have no heart
or hope in it, no expectation of defeating or
materially changing it, or of making out of
it political capital for the future. 1t could
hardly be otherwise. The experience of the
last four years has been enough to damn
free trade in the popular mind for long
time to come The American people have
memories. 1t will be a long time before
they will forget the false promises, the spe-
cious arguments and the deceptive object
| lessons and tricks of trade by which the
Democrats carried the country in 1892. 1t
will be a long time, too, before they will
forget now utterly all the bright promises
of that campaign failed and how crushing
were the business disasters that followed.
The history of the world does not furnish
another such record of disasters to any
people or government as those caused by
the present tariff law. Long adherence to
a destructive policy may have caused as
much disaster spread over a long period
of time. but no single law in any country
ever accomplished as much harm in the
