Thin window draperies and lace cur tains come in infinite variety. but the very latest have plain backs, with a border down the front edge and across the bottom. Those of applique are very showy Irish and Brussels point, Cluuy and Renaissance are also handsome. AIl-over backs are the exception rather than the rule, but when used the en- pire wreath design still holds it's own. Flowers, vines and medallion also are favorite patterns.

Massachusetts applies Bishop Fowler
principle of throwing rays of light into
moral rat holes. The rats have not all dis
persed yet, but they will in time Recently
the Board of Lunacy and Charity has made
a report on the county almshouses of the
commonwealth which ought to make the
cold chills run the whole length of Beacon
street. In these institutions there is no.
where any attempt to separate the insane
from the sane, and, in many of them, no
separation of the sexes nor of adults from
children. Moreover, those whose only in
trinity is old age or helplessness are re-
quired to mingle with those whose vices
have brought them TO the alrnshouse We
are deferred from pointing the finger of
scorn at Massachusetts only by q fear that
the picture of the almshouses in some parts
of Missouri would not be much brighter
than this. In all cases it is well to turn
the light into these rat holes.

FRANCES DANGER.
The Russian Alliance Not Likely to
Help Her with England.


Harper's Weekly.
There is no doubt that France is in dan
ger. We do not believe that the Russian
alliance will be of any help to her in any
difficulty which she may have with Eng
land. Morally, 1t has been a distinct dis
advantage to her. While n. Hanotaux IS
protesting friendship for both Spain and
the United States, and promising neutrality
in case war breaks out, the sympathy of the
official press is largely with Spain, just as
it was the enthusiastic advocate of the Rus
sian alliance. But the Russian alliance is
an unnatural one for the French republic.
1t is mainly an alliance compelled by money
consideratiOns--in other words, by the needs
and hopes of profit of the Paris bankers
who hold Turkish bonds. This alliance be-
tween the bankers of Paris and the Rus
sian Car made the republic the enemy Of
the supporters of the Sultan in his war with
Greece. At the present time it has made
,he repupnc the treacherous enemy Oh bIS-
land in Africa. and an intriguer against her
interests in China. has also made the
French press pretty generally the unfriendly
critic of our own Republic in its trouble
with Spain. The French press is full of
sneers not only at the folly of our jingoes.
but at the wise and conservative course of
our government, and of our naval officers
who have been investigating the cause OF
the loss of the Maine. So blind are these
Paris papers to the facts of the situation
that their editorial columns are simply
temptuous manner which is natural to
French wits. We do not believe that the
people of France like this attitude towards
us any more than they really like the at
titude of the republic in it's adherence to
the interests of the Sultan and in it's hos
tiity to the Cretan struggle for self-gov
eminent. If the spirit which is dominating
France. which includes at present the mill
tary spirit seeking to increase the prestige
of the army in view of the recent assault
upon it's honor by lola, succeeds in bring
ing about war between England and France,
France will probably suffer a serious de-
feat, and an important loss of territory in
the East and after that the bankers and
bourgeoisie will, we fear have to reckon
with S0ciG ism

Did Not Insult the President.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:

porters of the administration here, to brand
the story as an absolute falsehood, which
is only noticed for the purpose of prevent

course, the sentiment in the city is divided
and many do not believe that the President
has pursued the proper course, but the
great majority are decidedly of the opinion
that it is better to wait until there is some
thing more tangible to grasp; that they will
not criticise hastily. There has been even
less war talk the streets here of late
than farther East. and absolutely no dem
