BAILEY ON DRESS SUITS.
wouldn't Wear One Even to Attend
the Presidents Dinner.

Interview in Washington Correspondence
of the New York WORLDLY
Mr.. Bailey was not averse TO talking
about his dress-suit episode, but he did
resent any criticism that such styles are
not known down in Texas.
"The people here in New York are more
provincial than those down in my ais
trict," he said. whenever l walk along
the street they turn and look at my
broad-brimmed hat with curiosity. You
would never catch a Texan doing hat
New Workers imagine that every other
place is provincial, and that they are
the only correctly dressed people.

Of people who wear dress suits, and

should criticise what L wear. | was not

NO TINE FOR FASHIONS.
$50 far as l am concerned, this wearing
of dress clothes is entirely a matter OF
taste. | consider it time wasted putting
on a dress suit and going around dining
with people. 1t might be better spent in
study.
IL can't afford the time for that sort
of thing. Now, l wouldn't be Secretary
of State or Chairman Of the Committed
on Foreign Relations, because. for one
reason / would have to wear dress

MS DANGER.

Acting upon the suggestion OF Presi-
dent Mckinley in a special message TO
Congress. that body yesterday passed a
Joint resolution appropriating 100000 for
the relief Of the southern and western
flood-sufferers The President was right
in saying there are precedents for such
an appropriation, but Mr.. Walker Re-
publican) of Massachusetts, was doubt
less equally right in declaring that there
is no constitutional warrant for it.
Appropriations Of this character par
take of paternalism, and are against the
spirit of our institutions, even should
IL be found that they do not violate the
letter of the organic law. However, Con-
gress could hardly infringe upon the
Constitution for a better cause, and GER
tainIy several times since the war
paternalism has assumed a much more
fragrant and obnoxious form than in the
present instance.
Under the circumstances, no one ought
to object to the appropriation in itself.
There Is no harm in 1t, considered in
that light On the contrary. II is to be
applauded But it is dangerous as an
other precedent, and there is no telling
TO what lengths in the matter OF tramp
ling the Constitution under foot the
piling I'D Of presidents may finally lead.

oru EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

when we talk about cutting down the
expenses of the State Government. let
us examine the list and see which one
OF the following items we would reduce:
Public schools. ............''''.' '>sSoc'o
Universities. Institutes, semina-
rles. and colleges. aoo'ovu
Interest on public debt.........''. ooo Wy
Care OF lunatics.......'.... o.S'o' '
Pensions, ,o'0 ~
Support of government........... '1oVo
There are other items, but they are
not OF great consequence. These are the
chief fixed expenses OF Virginia.
In the second item on the list, we
include more than 100000 of excess OF
interest" on state bonds which Is
usually included in the interest account
The $4,000 spent for the care OF luna
tics might be reduced very consde-
rably II saddled upon the counties ana
cities, as they would be more careiui
than the State Is to recover their ex-
penses out Of the estates OF the insane
where such estates exist.
About one half of the sum that we
put down for the support OF govern
ment" goes for criminal expenses. ms
sum might be considerably reduced IL
the habit of continuing cases had not
such a strong hold Upon the Virginia
courts-or upon some of the Virginia
courts. we would better say.
Possibly some of the court charges
that are now put upon the State might
be safely put upon the several counties
and cities. At present there are couh-
ties that draw out Of Virginias Trea-
sury for criminal expenses and Tor
schools much more than all Of the taxes
that they pay in. But TO compel eacn
county TO pay all of its criminal eX-
penses might sometimes result in the
defeat OF justice. Rather than burden
themselves with the expenses OF a great
criminal trial, the people might be IN
clned either TO let the criminal go scot
free, or else lynch him.
In considering criminal charges we
must remember, however. that we have
a net profit of about $4,000 per annum
from the hire of penitentiary convicts'
All these things we should consider
when we go TO figuring upon Virginia
expenses and how those expenses might
be reduced by the Legislature or by a
constitutional convention.
1t seems quite certain that in many
counties an era of retrenchment and re-
form would begin at once If the counties
were made to assume some Of the charges
now assumed and paid by the State.

The Democrats view the elections with
considerable pleasure "While l am not
at all disposed to attach too much impor-
lance to purely local elections" said Sena-
tor Jones, the Democratic national chair
man. Il do believe that the result in
Ohio Is largely due 20 the dissatisfaction
with the National and State Government
OF the Republican party. There is no
doubt i'm my mind, either that the cause
Of bimetallism has made tremendous
strides since last November and believe
that more has been accomplished for our
cause by the very logic OF events than
was done by all the campaign methods.
In Ohio, the result against home rule is
a very gratifying thing TO all lovers Of
good government, irrespective Of party
afliliaton."

There is a picture in my room
No stranger eyes Snail ever see.
Fit food for mirth to them, perhaps,
a holy thing TO me.
She labored i'm a barren land,
Barren Of hills or river shore;
Barren of woods or prairie sweeps;
Small things about her door.
Her face was brown with sun and toll;
Her eyes were truthful steady, gray
Her hands were firm and fixed 10 work
Through al the changeless day.
Between the tasks she painted it,
a child's cheap Daint-boX all she had;
The drawing, color. you would say,
Absurdly, wholly bad.
But she who held the wretched brush.
In hands but used 10 WELD a broom.
Put all her starving soul in this,
Her love OF bird and boom.
She saw faint. gold sunset sky,
That glorifed the broOding hills;
She saw the river still with light
Like 10 a soul Gods presence fills.
She saw the birds fit silently
Homeward against that tender llght;
She felt the fragrance OF the rose
Before the dew Of night.
Deep feelings made her heart grow great
Grow great within her as she wrought.
What If the hand that held the brush
Was rigid. and untaught?
The poor, pathetic. faded daub,
With the cheap tints and shaky lines,
Grows glorious as a masterpiece
When once the eye divnes.

To tell the things my soul would see,
Hang IL away from scorntul eyes,
