The DEMOCRATIC Canvass.

The expected Republican candidate for
Governor OF New York, THEODORE RoosE-
WILT, Is a guidepost for the Democrats, TO
which as yet they have failed to lift up their
eyes. They are nightly mistaken II they
think that they can contend successfully,
or even creditably, against clear think
ing, straightspeaking Republican like
ROOSEVELT, II they put up non-commlttal
straddler to stand as an apology for the
Democratic party rather than todefend It.
The New York Democrats cannot hope to
defeat their party platform, the Bryan
platform, either by failure to readopt 1t or
by nominating candidate hostile to it, and
win. The winners in either case will be the
Republicans. The Democrats must adopt
one Of two courses IL they wish to be able
during the campaign even to look the peo-
pie Of New York, particularly the support
ers Of Col. ROOSEVELT. in the face.
One is to take o Democrat whose ad-
herence to the cause of honest money is 30
unquestionably sincere that men know that
he would scorn to accept Democratic lead
orship except on the distinct condition of
BRYAN's condemnation. Here is sample:
For GOVERNOR:
W. BoURKE COCHRAN.
PLATFORM:
Reputation of Bryan and all his works.
The other and simpler way is this, nomi-
mating an open advocate of Organism:
FoR GovERNoR:
JOHN G. SHEEHAN.
PLATFORM:
The Chicago Platform Of 1896.
II Mr.. SHEEHAN is not the choice Of the
convention, what better man Is there for the
purpose than WILBUR F. PORTER, who ran
for Governor on the Bryan platform two
years ago? Any other sort Of Democratic
campaign than those here outlined will be
unconcealable trickery and humbug.

CONSIDER THE CORN.

All-conquering heat, O, intermit thy wrath! And on my throbbing temples potent thus Beam not so fierce. Incessant still you flow And still another feryent flood succeeds,
 Poured on the head profuse. In vain sigh, And restless turn, and look around for
 night
 Night Is far off; and hotter hours approach.
 So selfishly and complainingly said Poet Thomson in blank verse, and many in these days make a similar complaint ip language which if printed would show much more blank thanverse or anything else. But why complain? Isn't the corn waving Annie dear, and haven't all who know beans been ach- ing for some good corn weather? Don't the complainers know that corn is late and backward and needs encourage ment? Instead of sefishly bewailing their own woe let them seek corn field and see what the heat does there. All over the field such a day as yester- day the broad green blades are agitat- ed W1tn cOmlOrtdpie Joys lHey rustie gently in the slow hot breeze and one l who can hear we'll can hear them con- graduating each other on having come to a day that is just the kind of day they have been wanting to come to. They laugh and gossip as cheerily and softly as lot of good little women at quilting, and they feel glad that they are doing well.
 | Of course human beings can't be ex- pected to be as sensible and contented as cornfield, but they can fulfill their mission" better than they do If in these hot days they will consider the corn how it grows and rejoices.

4 ETR CTTON

"One who knows" tells us that Linn burger was not the kind of cheese used at the Democratic get-together pow-wow at Elks' hall, and we hasten to retract our erroneous statement that it was. But we still think it was just the cheese for the occasion, and saying nothing about the question of smell, there doesn't seem to us to be any question of taste. Its use would have been a delicate compliment to a large number of gentlemen who are now much needed in the Democratic party and it would have been decided ly emblematic, We regret that our idea of what is proper led us to ac- cept without sufficient investigation the statement that Hamburger was the cheese, and we also regret that the har- monizers didn't see the appropriateness of adopting it as basis of harmony.

4 SAN FRANCISCO PLAN,

For a year a wholesale house in San Francisco has experimented with the plan of closing it's place of business each day from twelve to one o'clock, during which hour all the employees ob- tain their monday meal. The ar- rangement was found to have many advantages over the old way of per- mittine the clerks to go to luncheon by relays, and it has so commended itself to other wholesalers there that a move ment is on foot to make the plan gen. eral. In most of the large houses the first relay goes to lunch at eleven o'clock, and generally it is well on into the afternoon before the last of the clerks get chance to get away from their work for the midday meal. The managers of the houses say that the working forces of the stores are demor- alized for at least, say, three hours each day on account of the lunch hour system now in vogue. With the proposed system the store would be closed for an hour every day, but dur ing business hours all hands would be

ONE OF THE "CoMMERcrAIs.o ;

Many Americans were wounded and are being brought in. One man had both arms shot off and was wounded in the hip, but was laughing"
 So reads one of the dispatches from Siboney. We are-not told what struck this thoroughbred as humorous in the situation, and there are not many who would discover anything funny in such situation. But it has been made plain within the last few weeks that this country isn't so lost in commercial ism' that its citizens take too doleful view of wounds and death encountered in following the beloved flag, It is still regarded as sweet and glorious to die for this country Here's hoping that the brave man who could laugh with both arms shot off and wound in his hip may live to enjoy the admir- ation and appreciation of his fellow citizens. He is too good man to lose entirely, even if a part of him has gone.

lived in Washington He sent for me one day to see about some clothes and told me that he would make a bargain with me. This was that I should take his coat and exchange it for that of the first midshipman who came into my place. He said he knew he would get the best of the bargain.
 II was at the house one day, waiting to take his order, when the card of a representative of magazine which wished to publish an article giving his views on some naval question was sent up. I was in the room with the admiral when the magazine man was admitted. He told the admiral what he wanted and asked him when he could do it. Admiral Porter thought for a. while, and then remarked that he knew of some one who was more competent to write on the subject than himself. The questioner was then told that if he would wait a few weeks-it was May at the time-the cadets would graduate at the Naval Academy, and any middy was more competent to treat the sub ject or so considered himself.-Wash- ington Post.

--'--- --'----'---7----- REAL WAR .NOW.

There has been hard fighting around Santiago and the Spaniards have been convinced that it wouldn't be healthy for them to stay In their outer in- trenchments any longer. So they have retreated into or toward the city. And 1T they haven't already retreated fur ther the indications are that they soon will if they can get away.
 It Is evident that General Shafter has not thought it best to wait until more Spanish troops could arrive before him or behind him, but has set out to get those present out of the way before others reach the scene of action. The result of the first days fighting has apparently been cheering to the United States, and there Is ample reason to believe that what is to follow will be-

Whether these goods are to last in fashion for a long time is really not of so great importance as it might be, for considering that they are plaids, their characteristics are not very strongly marked There is little danger, any way, that they will appear badly out or that they will recall bygone modes, in the life of the dress composed of them. All this makes them a safe and good investment. A tasteful method of making them up in shown herewith. The goods was blouse and white pom gee, and the skirt was plain. The bodice bloused all around above the belt and fastened at the side. It was trimmed with deep yoke of dark blue taffeta edged with frilling of the same. Just above the belt this trim ming was repeated in smaller size, and scattered between the points was ar- pliqued white lace. Collar and sleeves were trimmed with valencennes ruffies.
 Sashes for plaid gowns are likely to seem like trying to be too elaborate, and there is danger that against the brightly barred stuff the sash will lose all of its ornamental effect. There is no danger, however of the sash miss ing fire on plainer stuffs, and it's prom ises to be a distinctive feature of wo- mems attire all through the summer. Varieties of them are already numer- ous, and one of the latest notions for giving character to them consists in dividing bow in halves putting one loop and it's end quite distance from the other loop and end A pretty effect is secured by a sash the loops of which are so separated that they come al- most at the sides of the bodice, the portion of the belt between being double and folded to simulate the cross piece of the bow, while the part in front is laid quite plain and smooth.

FASHION NOTES.
Plaids Slammed 70. K.a

A host of brightly plaid silks were new on the shop counters for spring wear, and dressmakers for moneyed folk strove to end their fashionable life with the beginning of this month. They did not succeed entirely with even the most fickle fashionables, and as far as the ordinary run of women is concern ed, these beautiful stuffs are as accep- table as they were three months ago.
 New plaids have followed in the wake of the first ones, too, so the new plaid
 dress may be of the latest weave out.

The Fall River mills are to install im- proved looms. One corporation has jadopted the machines and others will shortly follow suit. In the South and in some New England centers mills are already equipped with them, and as the weaver can run twice as many as he now operates in Fall River the owners have found an advantage in using them. It will cost upwards of s1o00o0 to set them up in the one mill referred to, and so the whole expense of the important change in the other factories will prob ably approach several million dollars. Heretofore Fall River has been wont to consider the looms as experiments. But presumab ply this attitude is no longer prevailing in that city. Of course there will be a reduction in the number of weavers wherever the improvement Is accepted.

The noted German lion tanner, Julius Seeth, recently acquired valu- able collection of lions in a curious way. Last April Herr Seeth was at the court of King Menelik, In Abyssinia; the king had heard, through his minister, the Swiss engineer, Ilg, of Seeth's s prowess, and wanted to see proof of 1t. He had twenty-eight Abyssinian lions caught especially. seeth began his task of training them, and in a short time was able to produce them before the Abyssinian monarch per- fectly trained. Menelik was so amazed and delighted at the performance that he immediately made present of the twenty-eight to Seeth. The latter left Adis-Abe-ba at the beginning of May.
 A new locomotive cylinder, experi- mented with by the Canadian govern rnent railroad, has given such satisfac- ton that the engines on the road will be fitted with the new device as fast as circumstances will permit. Avoid ing the technical explanations, the ad- vantages claimed for the new cylinder are the absence of resistance, even at mospheric, as also of condensation; a saving in fuel of from 25 to 40 per cent, with a like saving in water eva poration; increased power and increas- ed speed; and a remarkable smoothness of action, reducing the cost of repairs and saving the roadbed.
