FASHIONABLE TRIMMINGS.

Laccs Modelled Into Jacket Forms Are
Among tho Newest.
The jacket idea dominates in modes,
This picturesque accessory rounds away
or falls squarely over a bodice and must
needs be trimmed thcbetter to accentu-
ate its Importance. When not forming
a separate garment, the jacket is simu-
lated by garniture, almost every variety
of which lends itself to this pleasing
adjustment. If the coloring of textiles
Is subdued, it is left to the trimming to
crafty the prevailing fancy for gay
effects. Even black braid trimmings
are not in%frequently encrusted with
jewels or mixed with colored or metal
braids. The jet passementerics, though
hueless, emit a sort of dim radiance.
so sharply cut are the facets with which
these trimmings bristle. Then there
are the various ieweIed trimmings
made on such delicate supports as chif-
fon or mousseline de sole, and emulat-
ing oriental embroideries in their wealth
of rich coloring.
Even laces are influenced by this ca
price for bright effects, and the CLINT
of gold is in evidence in many of the
novelties. Gold flowers are applioued
upon point Venise foundations in n lace
that is offered in bands and also in
the piece. hen there are Irish applique
laces in wheel and other patterns glis-
tening with gold dots. Gold threads
outline some of the patterns effectively.
Gold gauze sustains other laces of the
Irish point variety. Heavy laces are
extensively used, popular among them
being point Nenise, Carrickmarose,
Irish crochet and u host of novelties
initiating the Irish laces.
Round, square and oval motifs are
displayed in heavy novelty lace. The
design is floral, and pale blue, pink,
heliotrope and cream are assembled in
1t. These conceits are applied on vests,
%revers, cuffs or jacket fronts with much
success. Straps of cream point Venise
lace with several pendants al each end
are favored for application across the
shoulders or over the puffs of sleeves.
Net bands support raised flowers cut
from chiffon or mousseIine and outlined
with white silk. Roses with petals like
those of the living flower are made upon
these bands, with beautiful results.
Linen anvas is Incorporated in other
heavy laces of the Irish applique sort.
These recall the linen batiste laces so
popular during the ummer a very
dark tan is now shown in point Venise
laces, and cream and ecru tones are
abiding.
Maltese lace, a heavy linen, hand
made lace much used many years ago,
is renewing its vogue and will no doubt
adopted with readiness by those
who appreciate the beauty of real lace.
and point applique laces are the
f%avorite soft laces employed for iabots,
stock frills, wrist rufies and for like
flowing effects. Renaissance lace re-
mains popular. 1t is often mounted on
white satin, accessories of that material
being modish.
Among black laces the real guipure
IS worm and so is o heavy silk point
lace, Black net, accordion-plait-
I'd and run with lines of black silk, is
used upon skirts in one, two and some
tines three friis, and on bodices in
dispositions.-The Delineator.

THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

AAaA1 SAA.A
Columbia Herald
The democratic party owes a duty 10
the young men Of the country to carry
on a campaign of education. The clubs,
lyceums, debating societies and other
SIMILAR organizations can do much good
in informing and educating the voters
of the republic and especially the young
men on democratic principles.
There lever was greater need for such
education than now Nearly every
great university in the land is in control
of the opposition. The political econo-
my de departments teach Hamiltonianism
and corporate wealth has silenced the
lips of many professors. The greatGai-
lies are controlled by the money power
which constantly clapors for a stronger
government. Young men are learning
at these schools and from these news
papers the ideas advanced which Jeffer-
son opposed. Aristos rules and Demos
is no longer to be trusted.
To meet this there must be education.
The people must be taught something
of the principles of our government and
the rights of the citizens. There should
be organizations everywhere to discuss
these questions.
The safety of the republic is in the in
telIigence and manhood of its citizen
ship.

O GRAHAM VEST.

During the present news famine tn,
reporters for certain daily papers ar,
forced to manufacture some news o.
else lose their jobs. Among this man
ufactured s'stuff' is the report tina
George G.. Vest has a fight on hi.
hands for reelection. Perhaps a more
absurd and unfounded story was never
wired out of the state capital. Per.
haps wisely, the democracy of Nilsson
II attended to the election of a United
States senator at the Sedalia conven-
ton. At that convention the delegates
representing the Missouri democracy
unanimously passed a resolution en-
dOrsing Vest for reelection. That res
oluton made him the party nominee as
did the action of the Jefferson City
convention make Lon Y. Stephens the
party nomihes for governor.
The democratic party Of this state
had fright torinstrnot the democratic
members Of the legislature and that in
struction is as binding as any instruct
ion the party has given. The resolu-
ton was not raIlroaded through the
convention but was the free act and
deed of the Missouri democracy, out
ling a policy that the party expects its
representatives to pursue. AS far as
the democratic members of the legisla-
ture are concerned, their duty is clear.
The reelection of Vest is part of the
platform upon which they were elected.
There is no special objections to the
democratic legislators holding a eau
Gus over the election of a senator, but
there is no necessity for such caucus
and the result of it can but honorably
be the unanimous endorsement of Vest.
The democrats of Missouri have eau
cused over this matter. They have CIV
en- instructions. They have made Vest
the party nominee and nothing is left
to the legislature but to ratify the &C
ton of the party.
And why should not Vest be ~reelec-
tedP What is there in his record the
democrats of Missouri do not endorseP
When or where did he aver prove re-
creant to a trust? Upon what occas-
ion did he ever sulk in his tent when
his people called for his services? The
fact is that tor twenty years George
Graham Vest has done as much tor his
party, his state and his nation as any
man who ever breathed Missouri air or
stood up in the councils of men. He
has at all times and under all circum-
been the same Missouri Vest
In the senate he has no peer upon the
floor ard no superior in the committee
room. His whole record has been that
OF 3 statesman who loved his people.
Had Vest served Vest more and his
less he would have had less enc
mics and more money. But he is not
kind OF a statesman. His ability
IL equal that of Benton, his oratory
That of Clay and his faithfulness to the
public veal that of Jackson. Missouri
has never produced his superior and
the nations history contains the name
Of few men who are his peer.
He will be reelected without oppo-
and the rest of the years vouch-
safe to him will be spent in tho honor
able service of his state and country
men. I

NAPOLEON'S VALUE OF VICTORY,

Napoleon knew well the value of a
