SPRING TAILOR FRocks-
The Blazer Style lis Once More I'm
Evidence

@asSF SIyAe lis Once More IN
Evidence.
On the old-fashioned blazer plan are
many smart suits being made. some
most elaborate, for the revers of the
blazer are faced with white satin COW
cred with heavy lace, or are made of
white cloth.
Oddly enough, the white cloth fac
lngs are much more satisfactory to
wear than might be supposed. To be-
gin with, they keep clean surprising
length of time, and when they are
solled pipe clay will make them look
as good as new" These same blazer
suits can be made of white silk or satin.
A blouse waist is worn with them, for
the front shows to good advantage.
Elton jackets are not to be tabooed,
either, this season, although it must be
conceded they are no longer new. The
fashion is useful and sometimes much
becoming one and has too many ad-
mirers to be discarded. The jackets
are made both single and dnubIe-breast-
ed, and the revers turn back or button
over.
The fronts on many of the new ones
are cut IN long, square tabs, and there
is band of embroidery around the tabs
made OF white satin or cloth banded
with strips of narrow black velvet rib
bon. The most becoming of the jack
cts are slashed little way in the CEN
ter of the back so that the belt shows,
and the belt must be either of black or
gold or silver Russian ribbon.
Blue serge is to have a new lease OF
life this spring, and comes in several
different weaves as well as different
shades. The darkest is the best, and, if
well sponged, will wear splendidly.
Black serge is not so effective. Light
weight black cloth is better Black
brilliantine is shown in such quantities
as to make it certain to be popular, but
never for midsummer wear. Covert
cloths are charming, in any number of
shades of tan, and will be very much the
rage while whipcords will again be used.
Fancy waistcoats are to be one of the
fads, and in brilliant colorings they GER
tainly add greatly to the smart effect of
the plain suits. A bright waistcoat dot
ted with black and fastened with small
gilt buttons makes a blue serge cos
tune exceedingly smart, while the en-
broidered satin waistcoats, carefully
fitted TO the figure, will transform a
plain cloth gown into a costume elab-
crate enough for reception wear.
Wash materials for shirtwaists to
wear with these gowns are now to be
had, but the plain colored taffeta shirt
waists are the most in evidence at pres
ent. In every possible shade of color
they are made up, some most elaborate
ly, others quite simply, and to wear
with all are ties and bows of most &C.
centric design.
White net and lace ties two yards in
length to go twice around the neck and
tie in a large bow, stock collars of
tucked and hemstitched taffeta the
color of the waist and finished with a
double bowknot are two of the styles.
Often they cost more than the waists.
That is mere detail, however, in these
days of extravaganza and luxury.-N.

Civil Liability of Children.

The question of the civil liability Of
children was gravely argued at Black
burn county court, London, the other
day, when a lad of nine was sued for
the value of a plate-glass window
broken during game of marbles.
Judge Coventry ruled that children of
the age of nine had not sufficient know1-
edge of the effects of theiI acts to make
them responsible. - Chicago Inter

Brain Work.

Mental labor, if agreeable and pleas
ant, is a most healthful occupation.
There is no evidence for believing that
brain work of that sort ever disagreed
with the stomach or impaired its func-
tons in any degree; but mental worry,
discomfort, anxiety and gloom are most
unfavorable conditions for digestion,
and under their influence few stomacha
can long maintain their integrity

washington Built This House,

Not far from the village of Charles
town, w. Va, stands an old homestead
whicb, from a historical point of view,
is pronounced the most interesting in
that whole section of country. Hare
wood, as it is called, was owned by
George Washington's oldest full broth
er, Samuel, and was planned and built
under the personal superintendent of
Gen. Washington himself. According
to his suggestion, it is said, the house
was modelled after the early home of
the Washingtons in Sulgrave. North
amptonshire, England. Gen. Washing
ton not'only took much interest in the
erection of his brothers home, but was
4 frequent visitor there. At later
date, 16 years before he was made presi-
dent of the United States, James Madi-
son was married in the parlors of Hare
wood to the dashing Widow Todd; and
under that same hospitable roof were
entertained LOUIS Philippe and his two
brothers, Duke de Montpensier and
Count Beaujolais, during their sojourn
n this country.-Philadel Times.

SEX AND POPULATION.
Egypt Not the Only Land Where the
Men Outnumber the Women.

Egypt Not the Only Land Where the
Men Outnumber the Women.
The London Post has lately called at,
tention to the statement that Egypt is
TO enjoy the singular distinction of be:
ing the one country in the world where
men exceed women in number. BY the
latest census the male sex in the do
2ninionS of the khedive exceeds the fe,
male by 100000. This alleged distinc-
ton of Egypt, lacks, however, the i'm
portant feature of being accurate
Egypt is not the only country in which
women are outnumbered by men
there are others-several others-anG
in the number of these are the United
States. BY the census of 1890 there
were in this country 1,513,510 more
male than female inhabitants. In Aus.
tralia the disparity between the sexes
is even greater than it is here. Nor can
this preponderance of men be ascribe6
to the comparatively recent settlement
of the United States and of Australia
for in Italy men outnumber women
and by the last italian census there was
an excess of male over female inhabit.
ants in the proportion of 5000 to 1880
Nor is Italy the only European country
in which this disparity is to be found
in Greece the percentage of male in
habitants is higher even than it is in
Italy, and so it is, too, in Servia and
ROumania.
In all the South American countries
with the exception of Chilli and Vene.
zuela, men outnumber the women, and
this is particularly the case in Brazil,
and in the Argentine Republic. In Eng.
lands South African colonies, in India
and in Canada, as well as in Egypt, the
number of male inhabitants exceeds
the number of female inhabitants, and
it is not easy, therefore, to see how such
an error should have been made as to
say Egypt was entitled to the distinc.
tioi claimed for it, provided, always
that an excess of male population may
be regarded as a distinction, which most
certainly every gallant and chivalrous
man must unqualifiedly deny. Egypt's
claim to any particular prominence in
this matter is based on very slender
foundation at best. BY the census pre-,
viOus to the last one it was shown that
the total number of male inhabitants
was 3,402,0OO and the number of female
inhabitants was 3,416,0O0. In popu-
lation, therefore, of nearly 100000
the excess of female inhabitants at that
time was $4,000, and if since then the
scale has been turned slightly and now
shows small preponderance of men.
there is certainly nothing in it which
particularly calls for any great demon,
stration of surprise.-N. Y. Sun.

Hon. w. S. Glass candidacy for the
legislature has caused a peculiar con-
dition of affairs in regard TO printing
the official ballot in Codington coun-
ty. He announced himself some
time ago as an anti-machine republican
candidate for the legislature and was
endorsed by the different fusion con-
ventions and his name will appear on
all their tickets. His own filing Of
his nomination by petition as anti
machine republican was resisted by
the machine republicans, as they did
not want his name to appear on the
republican ticket. They applied to
Judge Bennett for an Injunction to
restrain the county auditor from
placing Glass name on the republi-
can ticket and after argument before
the court the Injunction was denied.
The auditor can now do as he pleases
and the probability is that Glass
name will appear on the republican
ticket also. The judges decision was
virtually to the effect that Glass was
the only republican candidate in Cod
ington county properly before the
people.

A prominent republican Of this city
said TO a REGISTER representative
one day this week that he thought
the republican party was making a
great mistake in taking the position
it had on the railroad question. But
who has forced the republican party
into this unenviable position? A. B.
Kittredge, Aleck Johnson and Har-
~ Hunter, assisted by their allies,
and who know no party or have nc
principle aside from what Is wrapped
I'M in their own selfish hides. AS
long as republicans allow them te
dominate the party for self aggrandise
ment, just that long they will contro
the party in the interest of the corpor
stions they represent. The question
is, will we allow them to DO itY

The Rro0kings REGISTER. viii

The Brookings REGISTER, which Is
being quoted by the populists as re-
publican paper, has not been republi-
can since one nf the editors failed to
receive a federal appointment, and
has been out-and-out populist since
another of it's editors was named for
auditor by the populists of Brookings
cOunty.-A berdeen Daily News.
Will the News please be more spe-
cific in its charges? When and where
did the change'take place? How many
years has it been since the REGISTER
ceased to advocate republican princi-
pies and republican doctrine? If it
will tell it's readers the truth the
News will say that "the Brookings
REGISTER, which is being quoted by
the populists as republican paper"
is a republican paper still. That it is
not an out-and-out populist nor never
has been. That the REGISTER is
fighting the machine and will contin-
ue the battle for clean politics and
freedom from corruption in the re-
publican party, is true. The News or
no other paper can read the REGIS
TER out of the party in one campaign
and if the News thinks it has bet
ter record for republicanism than the
REGISTER, we challenge it to produce
the evidence.

Then and Now.

Previous to the Mitchell convention
the Dell Rapids Times (rep) had this
to say:
Put the republicans to the fore in
all cases, but let them be men whose
garments are clear of the odor Of pO-
litical knavery.
In commenting on the above, the
Argus-Leader said:
1t has been done with the federal
appointments, now let the rank and
file compel the state convention to
follow. We want a ticket of unques-
toned republicans, men of firm, spot
less character, able and honest. Such
a ticket will sweep the state.
The Pierre Journal (rsp) then takes
up these clippings and makes the fol-
lowing comment:
II the republican state convention
follows the example Of Kittridge and
his late democratic side partner, Tom
linson, and nominates fellows Of the
same class as the federal appoint
ments 80 far recommended and made,
God help the republican party. From
observation and experience the rank
and file intend, IL possible, to side
track Kittredge, Tomlinson & Co. and
their ilk In the next state convention.
II this 10 not done there Is no show
for ohe republican party electing It's
'state ticket. Mark the prediction,

BY his decisive action In removing
Insurance Commissioner k1pp when
he found how he was conducting. The
affairs.of his Office, Gov. Lee has given
an evidence of his quality and made a
direct contribution to the cause or
good government. 1t is one thing to
get after your political opponents
when they are ia the wrong and quite
another to give your political assocl-
ates the same kind of medicine. 1t IS
the misfortune of this and other west
ern states that their insurance laws
have been cunningly framed appar-
emily to protect the people, but really
to enable insurance commissioners 10
levy tribute upon insurance corpora
tions. 1t is to be hoped that at the
coming session Of the legislature the
insurance laws will be 80 modified
and the powers of the commissioner
so limited that he will no longer be
able to use his position to sandbag in-
surance companies. If they are max
ing too much money the public is en-.
titled to it in the shape OF reduced
rates-not the insurance commission
Ter.
The Journal knows that Lee Is just
as good a man today as he was six
months ago, and it ought to be sup
porting him in this campaign. But

"Generally speaking, the newspaper
editor gives as good as he receives,
politically" says the Redtield Journal
Observer. "You cannot expect an

paper man to eat crow, as the saying

resent political imposition as the pol
itician in other walks of life. One re-
mains in his office and quietly sub
mits to the course of things, and the
editor quite NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. his
friends-aDd drops into the usual
method of treating his political
enemies"

IfMr. Kittredge had been guided
by the wishes of local republicans IN
the matter of patronage, IL he had
kept his nose out of the railroad as
sessment, showing by his acts that he
did not aspire to be the intermediary
through which the Milwaukee, road
should govern Dakota, If he had
stood aloof while the party elected its
delegates to the state convention and
nominated its ticket, opposition to
the republican ticket would have
been as hopeless as is our success with
with this "Old Man Of the Sea-
astride our necks. But he did none OF
these things. He interfered through
his own appointees in the county
conventions. He interfered with his
patronage at Mitchell. He interfered
in person at Pierre in the interest of
his client. He interfered wherever
interference was possible until he has
established for himself reputation
as a boss reckless of results and wei
nigh unscrupuous as to methods. sc
long as the party submits to his die
tation it cannot escape the odium OF
subserviency to his will. He holds
his position by appointment, for two
more years. He cannot be removed

that you are in favor Of paying about
