Under the heading IA Mckinley Vic
tory" the Washington Post. which Is
not a party paper. calls attention to a
phase of the war developments which
deeply impressed itself upon the minds
Of the public some time ago. and Is be-
coming a subject OF frequent comment.
The Post refers TO the fact that among
the great incidents of the war, and quite
as fortunate for the United States as
any Of them, history will set down the
Victory that President Mckinley won In
the text Of the declaration OF war.
The public win recall how, during the
debates in the two houses OF Congress,
there developed a strong following of
those who commended for the recognl-
tion OF the Cuban republic, The conser-
valve senators who stood out against
this proposition were denounced by the
LIMOGES the country over. while Pres-
dent Mckinley WINS charged with at
tempting to delay action. 1t was the
main point between the house and sem
ate, the majority OF the latter seeming
to place great faith in che so-called Gu
ban republic and stood out for rceog-
milton.
In the editorial referred to above the
Post statOs fact which the critics Of
the conservative policy Of the admins
tratlon have doubtless come to realize
Gully during the progress of the war,

ua;,ssfaBl. Assumptions.

There is nothing under the heavens
like unto the tenacity with which our
friend. the Register, sticks to the yellow
journal faIsehoods and misrepresenta-
lions concerning President AicKInley's
attitude with reference to the acquire
meat of the Philippine Islands and their
retention, No act nor word OF the Pres
ident has ever justified any one In con-
strung what his policy would be, until
his reply to spaln's overtures was given
out.
Public men who advocate the posses
sion permanently Of the Philippines I'M
der certain conditions do not speak for
the President, but for themselves, fake
newspaper publications to the contrary
notwithstanding. These men are gov
erned by their belief that an expansion
Of American influence and commerce
will be one Of the logical results OF the
war AS to government policy Of ter
ritorlnl extension and conquest in the
Orient, there is no evidence that such a
departure has everSeen Contemplated by
the administration. The Presidents de-
mands on Spain certainly do not Indi-
cate an opening for such a policy.
The country has felt all along that in
the settlement Of the problems to come
as result Of the war the situation
would be solved with the wisdom which
has characterized the solving of ali
grave problems confronting the Nation
from It's foundation and in the conduc:
of the war up to the present time.
Incidentally It may be well to note
that in an article chiefly notable for it's
repetition OF exploded mlsrepresenta-
lions concerning an administration pol
Icy which had no existence. and in Its re-
sentiment of a statement in this paper
to the effect that the Register had re-
flected on the Presidents honesty OF
purpose, our contemporary has convict
cd itself of inconsistency by referring in
one paragraph to the "ignominious
abandonment OF the lmperiallstic policy
by the administration" and In another
admitting that the President has ex-
hibIted backbone" in adopting his
course. There Is not newspaper in the
United States of standing that has been
guilty of half the Misrepresentation of
the President which has found its way
into the columns of our contemporary.
The severcst of his critics at the start
are coming to recognize the great heart,
the courage. the cool judgment, the con-
servatism and the patriotism OF the
President. In our last great national
trouble Lincoln was SO abused and mis-
represented by his political enemies and
chronic critics. History has vindicated
him, as 1t will vInd!cate the Executive
who is faithfully carrying out the duty
imposed upon him by the representa-
tlves of the people.

How to Clean Carpets.
From the New York Tribune.


With the near approach of the house,
cleaning season, the easiest and best way
to clean carpets is a question worthy OF
consideration.
The methods employed in the British fac
tories for cleaning velvet. moquette, Au-
bisson and other heavy carpets is to bo
commended for its simplicity as well as the
good results obtained. Two large pals of
hot water are provided. one clear and tepid.
the other hot and soapy, made so by shaw
ing white soap into water. Plenty Of good.
strong white cotton rags are a requisite.
ard n scrubbing brush may be added IL care
Is taken not to apply 1t too vigorously.
A square of the carpet is then taken at
time and the surface washed quickly
with a clean cloth and this soapy water.
An Englishwoman recommends the fol-
lowing: Take up much OF tho soiled
water as possible, then wiring out the cloth
into a third pan of tepid water. and with
q cloth wrung from the clean water wipe
the soaped and Cleaned surface thoroughly.
wfping deftiy over. but not wiping In. Now
wipe with clean cloths until IL Is as dry
as possible.
Proceed in this way until the entire sur
face is covered. Change the water FREE
quentiy. and when finished let the dry,
sunny air sweep over and raise the tuft OF
the weaving until 1t Ie as good as new
I his washing is good for the textile, and
should be done every six months n possible.

turned back in triangular revers. An ex-
cellent gray cloth dress showed delicate
touches of yellow in the scroll embroidery
that circled the gracefully hung skirt and
came down to the points of the long fitted
bodice. For the rest there was profusion
OF safiron-tfnted lace at the throat and
other lace yelling the gray satin revers. A
gray straw, flat-brimmed hat was worn,
wreathed with cowsiips.
Rather striking dress was a princess of
white cloth. The double-breasted front,
fastened with large pearl buttons, was cut
away from about the line of the bust to
show blouse and underskrt of black lace,
draped on long graceful lines. There was
a narrow tomato-red velvet waist belt and
tomato-red tOque was worn, Veiied in
black net and tinSel.
Dresses for the country include uncount-
ed plaid taffetas and ginghams. One in
bright checks of many colors is cut with
three skirts opening. one above another,
on the side of the front. Each skirt is
banded with white, and is held together
just below the skirt on top of it by large
button. The bodice is blouse opening on
the side, belted with white and adorned
with large square white reVers.
Cycle Costumes and Shirt Waists.
Tailor dresses for walking bicycling or
golf-'plain tails for the hills" as some
people call them-are coming out in their
usual abundance. One of the newest bicy-
Gle costumes is navy blue homespun suit
with REFER coat, a white piQue shirt
waist, navy blue straw hat and a tur-
quoise blue hat band and necktie. Another
suit Is dark green striped with lines of blue
This has a sack coat and is to be worn with
plaid tie and sailor hat with a black
ribbon.
There is no use telling anybody that shirt
waists are no more. The dressmakers have
done their best to down them, and dress
makers are very nearly all powerful; but
climate Is more peremptory even than
dressmakers. and climate demands the
shirt waist, beginning with May. Bright
plaid taHeta DlouSes are to the front. They
are usually piped with one of the colors in
the plaid, are tight-f1tting, smart and be-
coming. Another style is exempiified in
emerald green soft satin with a hemstitch-
ed collar and belt and vest of tucked
white satin This worn with green straw
toque, cool with shaded green leaves and
white violets. makes a decidedly pretty
spectacle. Crepe-de-chine shirts or blouses
are more dressy. One in pale blue, crowned
with a Tuscan hat trimmed with blue ro-
settes. was in evidence at one of the country
clubs few days ago
Fine, white pleated linen shirts are plen-
ty. l saw one yesterday worn with a tailor
dress and almost covered by black silk
muslin tie that fell down the front like a
jabot. Some of the daintiest of the French
novelties are made of white or colored
batiste and trimmed with white embroid-
cry, edged with lace and outlined with
braiding Washable silks In pink and
white or blue and white stripes are being
made up for morning wear with piuue
skirts or for bicycling.

Keeping Meat.

From the PhilsdelphIa Press
A scientist gives a bit of information for
housekeeping that may be found useful
He says meats ought never to be wrapped
la paper. even while coming from the
butchers, much less should they be left
in paper over night or when put away in
the ice box. A large-sized sheet of paper
will absorb half of the juice of good
steak If it has the opportunity, and thus
destroy the most delicate and relishable
portion of it. One housekeeper has a COW
cred china dish that she sends to the mar
ket, and in this meats are placed. When
she requires a large amount she often
sends the porcelain-lined preserving ket-
tie with a rack in the bottom and a piece
of ice underneath. OF course, this is not
necessary I'm very cold weather. but dur
ing fall and spring people do not realize
that meats deteriorate very rapidly upon
exposure TO the air. The temperature is
so much cooler for them that they forget
that chemical changes take place quickly
even in moderately cool weather. A mar
ket basket fitted with an agate tray or
basin is excellent for meats. An ordinary
cover may be used, and in this way The
steaks and joints will come to the table
in a much better state than as though
they had been allowed to give up their
substance to a bit OF MANILA. The GUS
tom of sending home butter in wooden
trays is severely criticised. The wood IS
almost certain to impart a disagreeable
flavor to the butter. 1t may not develop
immedia tely. but the butter will not keep
as long. and is quite sure TO become OBJ
jectionable before 1t is used.

Neckwear Up to Date.
q the Philadelphia Times

From the Philadelphia Times.
Neckwear for women is what bothers
them now. The best and the latest is
summed up as follows:
In addition to the Bingham ties fair
throats will be ornamented this season
with handsome satin puff scarfs. the ends
left to hang spreading and free or folded
neatly and fatty into the Lady Babbie
pattern. This last let's fall its satin ends
from neck to waist line, is made up on a
frame and sold complete and ready for ad-
justment, with pretty pearl pin settled
in its folds. Summing up the full COM
plement of summer neckwear mention must
be made of the brocaded silk Teck and
Ascot ties and of the big, snowy Princess
Of Wales. This last is built Of gay benga-
line or soft faille .puffed up on frame
with or without a high throat stock 1t is
sold in white and the palest tints, else in
vividly Roman striped taffeta. Neckties.
In common with gowns, hats, sashes,
gloves, sunshades and under petticoats, are
rejecting the all-pervading tint of the sea-
son, which is blue. The spring skies are
repeated everywhere on the streets and in
the shop windows, and not to wear blue
Of some tone is to be one season behind
the times. Azure and flag blue arc the
two favorite knots Of this color.
