conditions there:
"Unse asonable weather during
most OF October and the first
week of November was the
means Of causing a decided lull
in the cloak business, particu-
larly among the houses that
make a specially of goods suit
able for the masses. 1t is a fact
recognized the country over,
that the general public will not
buy winter garments until the
rigors Of winter weather compel
them to do So. The weather,
therefore, is no small factor in
the development Of the season.
Unfavorable weather conditions
have retarded the movement of
the retail stock, of popular
priced cloaks, the effect of which
of course, is Immediately felt
among the manufacturers Dur
ing the month of October most
of the sales made consisted of
the better qualities of goods and
a ma jority of the recorders re-
ceived in the market were from
houses that cater to the best
class of trade in their respective
localities. Manufacturers who
make medium and fine goods
were fairly busy during the past
month-busy enough, at least,
to keep their regular force of
op ratives employed.
To all appearances, the sea-
son is bound to close with no
goods in the hands of either the
manufac turers or the retailers.
Some who are waiting with the
expectation of being able to buy
goods at cut prices, as has been
don in former seasons, will be
disappointed. Manufacturers
will not gamble, as in days
gone by, upon the probability
of strong late demand, and
stocks Of goods available for
sacrificing will no doubt be con-
spicuous by their absence This
season the risk OF accumrlatng
stock S ofgarments is gr reater than
ever, considering the high prices
that rule in the wooden and labor
market. AS the manufacturer
look at the matter it is a great
deal better to hold materials un-
cut than to put high priced
labor into a garment and then
in all probability be compelled
to accept cut price on the
finished product
However true this predic'
ion may prove, we have II

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian pre-.
mier, has returned home this week from
his visit to Washington, during which
several amicable conferences we're held
with President Mckinley and the state de
partment on important matters concern
ing the two countries. The tariff, the
fisheries, the sealing dispute, and immi-
grafton were all under consideration. put
the main subject of Sir Wilfrd's advocacy
is understood to have been reciprocity
treaty between the two countries. We are
told, however, that the discussion on this
went no further than a friendly inter
change Of views. 1t appears that Sir Will
frid's visit was arranged in London last
summer at the time Of the Queens Jubi-
lee.

The full returns from the election in
Kansas Indicate a healthy reaction from
the craze of Populism No state officers
were chosen, but every county elected Off
GERS for two years. The Republicans made
almost clean sweep and their total ma
jority was between 1900 and 10000. A
year ago the combined fusion party, with
several thousand Free Silver Republicans.
cast III, 900 votes, as against 1j9. 600 votes
for the Republican ticket on presidential
electors. The question now is whether
the Republicans can hold their forces to-
gether for another state election. Kansas
is normally Republican. Popuism was
never triumphant except when allied with
Democracy. If fusion is accomplished
again in 1898 the "Demo- Pops" will again
outvote the Republicans and retain con-
troll of the state government. But if the
Republicans act together they will carry
the state, and can elect presidential electors
in 1900.

The ideas of sport" which are enter
tanned by European royalty fud good il
lustration in the exutant announcement
that on recent shooting expedition the
Emperor of Germany shot 1924 pheasants
at the rate of five a minute. These fig
ures have an imposing sound. but admira-
tion for the royal skill and Workmanship
is greatly modified when it is known that
in Germany, as in several other European
countries, pheasants are bred in hocks and
fed until they are as tame as chickens, and
when royalty goes out with guns and at
tendants the slaughter is very much like
that of SO many barnyard fowl. But the spir-
1t of the performance varies little, after all.
from that of our own l.r ers and 'sports-
men" who kill innocent and confding
chipmunks and red squirrels by the score
and even by the hundred for no purpose
under heaven except to add so many
points" to their ill-begotlen "string."
