lace shawl also may be draped on the

trimmed; it is sometimes cut round. Now
there is a tendency towards the basque
waist, but the handsomest of all The
gowns have the back cut lit prircesse
fashion. This is not a possible style for
any but a good dressmaker to undertake,
and the basque waist is almost always
the best. 1t must, however, not be too
long nor too wide, just the length to
be becoming and give the desired long
lines.
One Of thethandsomest gowns worn this
spring had no trimming on either waist
or skirt. The waist was made only of
the satin draped in most graceful folds.
IT was cut high in the throat and long in
the sleeves, and fitted to perfection.

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.

The approaching election of a mayor
of Greater New York is an event of far
larger Importance to that municipality
than state or national election and
may have bearing on the future of the
entire country. In it's relation to the
45 states of the Union it is second only
to a presidential election.
The New York Press editorially calls
the attention of Republicans to the fact
that no greater calamity could befall
the party than the election of a Demo-
crat to the mayors chair. When it is
remembered that the consolidated city
will poll well toward a million votes and
will in all probability determine the po-
ntical complexion of the state with its
SO electoral votes the force of the Press
suggestion must be apparent.
The power of a partisan municipal
administration to control the vote of the
city, by patronage, manipulating the
count and other methods, especially in
New York, with its immense foreign
and nOn-tax-paying population, is we'll
understood, What reason, therefore,
can there be for saying that the cleo
ton of a Republican mayor is not
equally inimical to the interest of the
Democratic party and that the election
of either the one or the other is not det-
rimental to the future welfare of the
city and the entire country?
Given a partisan mayor of Greater
New York and the city becomes domi-
nant in the state councils of the success
full party. With the SO electoral votes of
New York state reasonably certain for
any political party it at once becomes a
dangerous if not a controlling factor in
naming the national candidates and
shaping the national policies of that
party.
Taking this view of the situation, it
should be the aim of the patriotic citi-
zens of. the great city-Democrats and
Republicans alilke-to strive for theelec-
ton of a man who would not use his
position to further the interest of either
of the great national parties. 1t ap-
pears that they have an opportunity to
vote for such a man in the person of
Seth Low. Will they do it?
Either party organization in eIecting
ats candidate is likely to defeat the best
interests of its own members as well as
the opposing party.

REV. MR.. DIXON ON Low.
1Tew York Pastor Says Tammany is
Invincible This Year.

New York, Sept. S-The sermon of
Rev. Thomas Dixon, delivered Sunay
is still the topic of conversation among
his congregation. 1t was in regard to
the nomination of Seth Low and in part
is as follows:
This is naturally Tammany year.
Reaction, foolish or wise, usually fol-
lows a radical and successful reform
administration such as William L..
Strong has given the city. Tammany
has been chaStened, strengthened. and
made wiser by two terrible defeats, one
local and one national. They are now
harmonious, united, and eager for the
gigantic local battle. They are enter
ing the campaign we'll nigh invinci-
BILE"
After declaring that the Low petit
tions meant nothing, as most persons
signed all petitions in a perfunctory
way, and that Mr.. Lows candidacy
ion against Tammany, the Rev. Mr..
Dixon continued:
This, of all times in our history, is
one when union man against Tam
many must be man of the people to
win. Is Mr.. Low such a man? The
question answers itself. He is multi
millionaire, lives in a palatial home on
one of our great avenues, is a man of
exclusive and ariStocratic tastes and
habits.
THE men who have managed his
candidacy have disregarded all reason
and common sense, with so utter a stu
pidfty as to stamp them as geniuses.
They have given us the most remarka-
BILE exhibition of the college bred fool in
practical politics that we have yet wit
messed. Even if the Republican party
now indOrSeS Low at least $4,000 of its
voters will scratch him from the ticket.
Seth Low, with the Endorsement of eve
ry force against Tammany, can be beat
en- by any decent man Tammany NOM
mates by $4,000 majority.
But upon the shoulders of the Citi-
zens' Union committee the responsible
ity of the triumph of Tammany must be
fixed. 1t was in the fertile brain of
that little clique of appointed, con-
ceited political associates that this
blunder, which is a crime, was conceiv-
ed and executed.
Personally I will vote for the strong
est man against Tammany, whoever he
may be, Seth Low or anybody else, and
L believe Mr.. Seth Low has about as
much chance of being elected mayor of
Greater New York as the Ahkoond of
Swat has to become president of the
United States"

KANSAS A GARDEN SPOT.

The Wellsville, Kan, Globe of last
week is an example of what newspaper
enterprise can do even in the small
towns in Kansas. The Globe issued an
S-page all home print fair edition and
three entire wages were devoted to de-
scribing a score or more of the magnifi-
cent farms of that section, which, as the
Globe says, are richer than the Klon-
dixie diggings and will last longer. Mil
lions of bushels of corn has been raised
around WellsvilIe this season, besides
wheat. The Globe in it's fair" edition
shows that the wealthiest agricultural
section in the United States cannot sur
pass Kansas
