The Tendency to Crispness.
Philadelphia record.

Mr.. Greeley once said: THE fewest words
that fill convey the advertisers ideas are
the right ones" And not only the fewest
words but the shortest words. Advertisers
have to be crisper than they were in Gree
ley's day. though Greeley himself never
deaIt in circumlocution; and since the tend
encv is not peculiar to advertising, but
peryades all literature, it may be set down
NOT as a fad but as an evolution which
cannot go backward.

The protest of Japan against the annexa-
ton on Hawaii should be treated by the
United States with respectful moderation
but it should not be permitted to become
factor in the decision of the case. The
question is one between Hawaii and the
United States, and is to be decided by the
latter with sole reference to its own inter-
ests viewed in the light of the distant flu
ture. Japan has no rights or equities in
Hawaii that the United States is bound to
consider, and Japan has no more right to
protest against the annexation of the ISL
ands by the United States than this gov
eminent would have had to protest against
the acquisition of the Island of Formosa
from China by Japan. The assumption of
Japan that rights of the Japanese now in
Hawaii would not be respected or them
selves not protected under United States
rule would be insulting if it came from a
Christian power. The protest should he
treated with polite indifference unless the
insistenee of Japan should make some 9TH

THE HOWL OF THE GREEDY.

The New York Journal has printed a
table in which the duties of the present
tariff and those agreed upon by the present
Congress are given, and also its estimate
of increased duty by the latter rates 1t
has headed this table: How the Senate
would tax the poor mans food" The duty
on butter and cheese has been advanced
from to cents; beans from 20 to 40 cents;
cabbage from the free list to 2 cents each;
eggs from to cents dozen; hay, from
50 to $3.50 a ton; onions, from 20 to 10 cents
a busheI; straw, from Is per cent. to $150
a ton; poultry Qive) from to 3 cents
pound, and SO on.
The foregoing does not contain all of the
articles upon which the New York Journal
complains that the duty has been advanced
at the expense of the poor in New YORK,
to whose prejudice the paper quoted ap-
peals 1t would have them believe that in
the United States the small quantity of
eggs imported affects the price of all eggs
sold in the market, and that the small guam
tity of poultry imported rules the price IN
the United States. Most people know bet
ter. They know that the duty is advanced
for two purposes-to get more revenue ana
to keep Canada from crowding our markets
on the border, crowding out American pro-
ducers and crowding down the price from
time to time by oversupply. Many of the
cities which afford the West a market un-
der the present cold storage transportation
are situated on the northern border-Chi-
cago, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Boston
and New York. The trainers of the pro-
posed tariff intend to give American pro-
ducers the advantage in those great mar
kets. Thereat the New York Journal cries
out in anguish.
What of the New York Journal, now
making war upon the interests of the small
farmers of the West? What does it repre-
sent first last and every time? The mil
lionaire silver mine owners of the silver
States, from which the proprietor's family
has fortune of $3O.00O000 and wants more.
What does it want? Simply that every so
cents worth of silver bullion turned out by
it's mines shall be stamped 81. That its mil
lions may be doubled. it asks that all the
labor of the country shall be paid in dollars

THE INAUGURAL BALL.
1t Was the Climax of the Great Day of
Gorgeous SpIendOr.


Gorgeous SpIendor.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The inaug-
urrl ball was the climax of the day.
To the minds of many there was moth
ing comparable to it. The pension
building is admirably suited for this
spectacular display. 1t is an enor-
nous hall surrounding a vast court
supported by huge pillars of marble,
around which circle two galleries. 1t
lends itself to the most artistic decora-
tions and it was never so beautifully
decorated and festooned and lighted.
Hundreds of canaries in gold cages
tucked away in the greenery. sang
madly. The fires of thousands of cleo
trio lights flashed amid the flowers
and drapery. The artistic effect of
the lights was probably never equaled,
certainly not surpassed in this coun-
try.
The most striking feature was an
enormous counterpart of ''old glory"
done in red, white and blue bulbs, so
arranged that it seemed to be floating
in a stiff breeze. 1t was like the por-
tai of fairyland, with its visions of
of beautiful women, its myriads of
cleaning lights, it's gorgeous massing
of colors. it's wealth of blossoms, its
pulsations of soft music and the heavy
odor of thousands of perfumes. The
enormous floor space, 300 feet long and
half as wide, was so large that 1T was
divided into squares, each under
corps of assistants to the general floor
managers. Edward McCauley and Ed
win b. Hay.
The Presidential party arrived at
the ball at quarter before 10 o'clock,
but they came in so quietly at the main
entrance of the south side of the buildss
ing that only those gathered about the
door were aware of their presence.
The President and his wife were es-
corted by General Nelson A. Miles and
General j. NJ. Wilson of the army.
After them came Vice President Ho-
| bart, with Mrs. Hobart, Mr.. John
Addison Porter, the Presidents secre-
tary, the Presidents brother, Abner
Mckinley, and several members of the
Mckinley and Hobart families.
Mrs. Mckinley, mother of the Pres
ident, was one of the most sought for
women of the ball, and in her stately
black satin gown, trimmed in rare old
lace and half length train, she looked
quite handsome enough to be the
| Presidents mother.
Mrs. McKinley's gown was of pale
gray brocaded satin, tinting from the
gray to blue. 1t is lined throughout
with blue silk and the skirt is stately
train, with three panels of embroidered
brocade. The waist has fluffy fichu
of rare Point d'Alencon, producing a
decollet effect. The sleeves are full
length and finished with a wide frill
of lace. The lace at the corsage was
caught with diamond pins and she
wore a brilliant sunburst in her hair.
Mrs. Hobart is still.in mourning and
was, in consequence, simply gowned
but despite it's simplicity her dres3 was
one of the handsomest in the bal
room. 1t was white satin with a full

ITS SESSION is CLOSED.
Labors of the Fifty-Fourth Congress Are
Concluded

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Senate
of the Fifty-ffth Congress met yester-
day in extra session, with Vice Presi-
dent Hobart presiding, in pursuance to
call of the retiring President. The
closing of the old as well as the open
ing of the new were merged into the
brilliant spectacle marking the advent
of the Inauguration ceremony, so that
formal proceedings were confined
largely to the valedictory of the re-
firing Vice President, Mr.. Stevenson,
the opening address of the new Vice
President, Mr. Hobart, and the swear
ing into office of the new Senators.
The early hours of the day were given
to the final steps of important legisla
ton, the remaining appropriation bills1
One, the general deficiency, failed in
conference, and three, the agricul,
tu~al, sundry civil and Indian, failed
of executive approval.
Promptly at IL o'clock Mr.. Steven
son declared the Senate of the Fifty
fourth Congress adjourned without
day and the work of the new Senate
was at once taken up
The senators then withdrew to the
east front of the capitol to participate
in the inaugural ceremonies. On re-
turning to the chamber a resolution
was adopted for daily sessions at 10
o'clock, and the Senate then adjourned.
The house was still in the legislative
day of Tuesday when it adjourned
without day. The closing hours were
uneventful. The statesmen had work
ed all night to get the sundry civil,
Indian and agricultural bills to the
President, only to have them pocket
vetoed, while the general deficiency
bill failed of passage because the house
refused to subscribe TO the halt million
of Bowman claims which the senate
insisted upon. The only feature OF
the closing throb of life was the en-
thusiastic reception accorded Speaker
Reed and the unanimous vote Of
thanks rendered him.

Leaves for North Carolina as Soon as

WASHINGTON, March st was
little after o'clock when the new
President and Mr.. Cleveland reached
the White house. In the blue room
Mr.. Cleveland took formal leave Of his
successor, and, bidding goodby to all
who were present, he left the mansion
and, in company with Captain Robley
d. Evans of the army, drove to
the Seventh street wharf to take
the lighthouse tender Maple for
ten days fishing trip in the Caroline
sounds. There was an absolute lack
of show or ceremony about his depart
ure. Captain Evans was the only one
with him in the closed carriage and
only single coachman sat on the box
behind the two sorrel horses
Mr.. Cleveland had nothing to say as
he went aboard save that he was
bound for North Carolina, and when a
reporter asked how long he would be
gone, loosely remarked:
sThere's no hurry.
