such state of things shall have been continued so long as to make 1t clear that the Cubans have established their independence and have a government capable of maintaining itself, then our duties will change; but every govern ment has the right, without interfer- ence from other governments, to restore order in it's own territories, al- though the prolongation of that resto- ration, as we found in the time of the
 Civil War, may run into years and
 years, without the right of any other
 government to interfere on that &C.,
 count. And supposing our navy is able to contend successfully with the
 Spanish navy, that would not clear the
 seas of Spanish commerce destroyers,

 There is, therefore, no ground that

frequently the notion is to have the whole gown a cobweb of lawn, chiffon or liberty silk, held together only by the sash, and afloat below the sash over the lacy elaborateness of the un- der dress.
 Some are not open down the front, apparently do not open at all, and have long trains. and some are made much too long in front, so the skirt must be held high as the wearer walks. The idea of this is that she does not walk much in the gown, but just reclines and wants folds about her feet. There is prejudice against white for such gowns, because nothing but White IS used for the night robe, and there must be no confusion between the two. Gray, yellow, black and lavender are also tabooed as unbecoming in the morning. An effort is being made to introduce distinctly low neck boudoir gown, but it is regarded as impracti- cal. The gown to be right should seem to be slipped on for use, not dressed up in.
 It is this last rule that leads to en- dorsement of less fanciful dresses than the empire models. Certainly a gown like that shown herewith is freer from the suspicion of having been donned in very careful attempt to seem care less than is the more delicate sort. This dress was of pink blue and pale green French gingham. It was made with a wide, comfortable skirt, and a sailor blouse that had yoke and collar of olive green pique trimmed with nar- row black braid. The cuffs were also of the pique. The waist was held by heavy green silk cord with tassels.

Let's go back, 0 brother mine, 10 the precious ways of the days gone
 by
 Back to the gleam of the glad sunshine, When we were children, you and I. We are growing old, but long so much Fol, the grasp of mothers hands to Me away from sin and it's soiling touch As they used to do in the days of old. I'm tired of dogma of church and state; Let's trail with our feet the dust of the
 lane,
 As we wander down to the pasture gate, And bring the cows for mother again. And see once more the woodlark dip From stake to stake of the ridered fence; And feel the old-time fellowship We felt in our boyhood innocence. Let's -nlb to the rafters overhead, And build swing on the old barn floor. Lets hide nj .s,. and seek" eek in the wagon shed Let's part the weeds where the truant hen Has stolen her nest; then stoop and fold The shetering weeds OCT the nest again As we used to do In the days of old Oh, the endless joy of the days of old! With the path that led to the fruited
 trees,
 Where the dandelions their coins of gold Down in the grass was the crickets chirr, And overhead was the dragonfy; And round about us everywhere Was the dreamy gleam of the days gone
 by.
 And oh the years and tears since thenl The miles and smiles that have lured us
 on!
 The graves we have passed and the mo-
 ments when
 The cradle and coffin seemed almost one! So let's go back, o brother mine,
 Forgetting tonight our greed of gold, And talk awhile of the glad sunshine That gilded the ways of the days of old

The gown is fitted over the bust by swathing the figure in the soft folds of silk or lawn scarf. Below the scarf the gown falls free, opening all the way down in front to show lovely petticoats beneath. The edges of the opening are mist of foamy frills, for

 Belgian engineers, backed with Bel gian capital and using Belgian machin- cry, have about completed the railroad, two hundred and sixty miles long, from Maladi to Stanley Pool, going around the rapids of the Congo river, hitherto the main obstacle to commerce in Central Africa along the line of that immense river, fed by it's innumerable navigable tributaries.
 Enactments of the Iowa legislature, which has just ended it's session, in- clude an important measure creating a board to have control of all the public institutions of the State; a collateral inheritance tax law designed to meet the objections of the Supreme court to the previous law on the same subject; and a law increasing from 1 to 3 per cent, the State tax on the gross earn ings within the State of express con- panies. The first step toward biennial elections was taken in the adoption of resolution for a constitutional amend ment. A bill to place the city depart ments in Des Moines under the merit system was rejected.
 Some idea of the expense and loss entailed by continuous dense fog in London may be gained from the fact that the excess in a days gas bill would equal the supply of a town with from 10000 to 10000 inhabitants for a whole year. The total consumption on one foggy day was 150,000,000 cubic feet, the excess in the output by the gas light and coke company alone be- ing 35,00o,O ,OO0 cubic feet. The total cost of the gas consumed was $12o,000, of which about s4O,OO0 was due to the fog. Iii addition there must be added the cost of electricity, oil, etc., and the loss of business by stoppage of traffic and lack of custom is a serious matter for the west end shopkeepers.

In the case of the Wilmington trouble,

full to the whites. was added Editor
Manly's assault on the virtue of white
wives and daughters. His editorial ar
ticle was one that no white man with
vestige of self-respect could stand. That
he was not hanged, offhand, shows an
unexpected power of self restraint on
the part of the whites. 1t was a taunt
and challenge, defense of brutes
and an encouragement to the crime that
has caused so many lynchings in the
South. If the negroes are IN a position
to utter such maddening things, they
are hardly in need of Northern help or
sympathy.
If the negroes have lost all that the
Rev. Mr. Grimke recites, what is the
reason? The white people of the North
are not usually tickle in their friend
ships or their principles, and their re-
lations with the Southern people are no
more Intimate than they have been. If
they have changed in their sentiments
toward the colored race, there must be
some other reason than their own sur
render of principles. Where the negroes
have done well, as in the war with
Spain, there has been no lack of appre
citation, by people, press or. pulpit.
One very intelligent negro insists that
the conditions in the South would be

Not Pence HUT Victory.

In telling the Atlanta celebrators that
in peace aggregation, when Victory is
the copyrighted name of the play to be
produced, Mr. Mckinley shows his
good sense and proper desire to pre-
serve the unities of the national drama.
Carping critics might object, and say
that it would have been better if he had
conveyed a like hint to the Chicagoans
before he consented to become part and
parcel of their great festival of wind
and peace. But it should be remem-
bered that that occasion was in sense
an ante-election dress rehearsal, and the
same principle may not apply.
Exactly as the President holds, our
celebrations and thanksgivings should
be for the success of American arms in
war for civilization and humanity. in
the course of which they have never met
with a reverse Mr. Mckinley knows,

peace today as the Universal Peace
Society would like to have us and that

soon, be called forth again.

For his complete authority to do so it

decisions of the highest tribunal in the

Tho yortb and The Ncproe.

In his thoughtful address to his col
ored hearers Sunday morning, the Rev.
| Francis J. Grimlle noted certain signifi-
cant facts in relation TO the race trou-
bles in the Carolinas. He stated that
the white people of the North, to a very
| large extent, are either Indifferent to or
in sympathy with these wrongs; that
many who were once the best friends of
| the negroes are now on the other side;
the negro-hating spirit of the South
has diffused itself all over the North;'
that even the children of the old abol-
itionists are now among the detractors
of the negroes or the apologists for
Southern outrages; that the children of
the white professors in the schools for
negroes, the press of the country and
the pulpits of the land seem to be
against the negro.
That there is, in the North even more
than in the South, disposition to treat
the negroes as beings of an inferior race
is too plain TO be denied. The Southern
people, used to them all their lives, en-
tertain more friendly feelings toward
the negroes and like them better than
Northern people, until they assert them
selves in politics or socially. But it is
not this that silences the North in the
matter of the recent race troubles in the
South. There is widespread belief
that the negroes in this case have al
lowed themselves to be used, as politi-
cal majority, to put into Office white
men who are not qualified and not dis
posed to administer the local govern
ment in the interest of the people; that
in their efforts to drive out the officials
elected by the negro majority the
whites are engaged in a life and death
struggle. Many leading Republicans in
the North have urged the Southern ne
groes to cease acting as a unit in pol
itics, when inevitably the solidity of the
whites must be broken and each party
must have an equal interest in protect
ing the negro in his political rights.
But, as in the days when Southern
States were almost ruined by carpetbag
officials, the negroes act together, them,
selves drawing the racial line as though
local administration were simply a
question of color.
Northern people while shocked by the
violence that accompanies the least
trouble between the races, do not believe
the Southern whites can have any in
terest in expressing the negroes; their
own living depends on negro labor and
the prosperity of the negroes is to their
advantage. When their violence creates
panic among the laborers, their enter
prises are suspended from the family
kitchen to the shops. 1t seems to the
Northern observer that only a serious
condition of the municipal government
can drive them to extremities that i'm
