THE PEOPLE AND BONDS.
Scheme of the PlutOcrats to Hood
wink the People by the
Popular Loan.

Naturally enough, there was feel
ing of opposition to the popular loan
on the part OF the trusts and syndi-
Gates, but as a rule the expression OF
disapproval was smothered. 1t has re-
manned for the New York Times to
give away" the sentiments of the plu-
tocrats under a mistaken idea that
the bond issue as a popular loan has
proved a failure. The Times says:
1T was the theory of the demagogues
and certain very ignorant and bane-
full newspapers in this city eagerly
helped them in their labor-that the
workingmen who put up a few hun
dred dollars would be quick to draw
his money out of the savings banks,
where he was getting four per cent.
interest, in order to invest it at three
per cent. in government bonds The
truth is-and he attempt was repeat
eddy made to get it into the thick
heads of the demagogues-that the
American wage-earner is and has al
ways been an investor in government
bonds. His investments are managed
for him without charge by the trustees
of his savings hanlA and the govern
ment bonds have always been a favor
lite form OF investment for him" But
the bank trustees did not manage"
the workingman's business for him in
the recent issue of bonds. In fact, the
workingman showed himself quite
capable of managing his own business.
As simple matter of statistics. the re-
suit of the bond issue stands as fol-
lows:
Total amount of bonds loans 200. 00n. 100
Total amount subscribed ........ 30. of0 900
Total amount of money deposited so, coo 900
Highest individual allotment 10 900
Lowest individual allotments.... %
Less than 5000 subscriptions
Less than $500 subscriptions ac-
Whenever any means is suggested
which has in il my considerati ton for
the rights of the people the plutocrats
can be counted ON to raise the cry of
"demagogism.' But in the matter of
the war bond issue the people seemed
to have secured the best of the bar
gain.

Labouchere sees in the Italian riots
his lesson for England: From the
terrible condition of Italy we should
learn lesson, or what has befallen
her will ultimately befall US. We
should give home rule to Ireland, and
thus put an end to the discomfort
there; we should reduce and not in
crease taxation; what we do levy in
taxes should be spent for the welfare
of the community, instead of being
squandered in buccaneering and in
the ornaments that are rendered nee
essary for c,ir predatory habits.
Peace, economy and reform are
secuted nowadays as not fitted for this
enlightened age We should revert to
them" Public taxation in Italy has
reached a point at which every dollar
a laborer earns the state takes half to
spend on the army, the navy. the Off
Gals and the aristocracy. Meanwhile
the unofficial taxation levied by mo-
nopoly, by landlords, takes a good
share of the remaining half, or denies
opportunity to earn any dollar at ALL
England is not the only nation that
may learn this.

TIT EN AND NOW.

It has been many long year since this country has had genuine and continuing war excitement like the present. There was slight war scare two or three years ago when scrap" with Great Britain was threatened, but that was of comparatively slight duration. The present one is more en- during, and from the reports from Washington yesterday it appears to be coming to head rapidly. The present war excitement is the one topic of the hour all over the nation. This is we'll exemplified in our own city, where the war question is, as elsewhere, so all- absorbing. A large number of our leading men who were accosted yester- day on the subject by Courier man were of the opinion that war would yet be averted and were still 10th to believe that any struggle would occur. though admitting that the present sit- uation was shaping ominously toward a fight. Wall street was evidently of the idea yesterday that with the or ders for the departure of the flying squadron and the reports concerning the action of congress there was much more of an outlook for fighting than for weeks past. Spain has one more chance of averting war, but the ad- vices from Madrid and Spain's new purchases of vessels for war purposes, and increased preparations for war; give no indication that she is prepared to yield to the demands of the United States. Yet with all these indications and continued warlike preparations, the war excitement of to-day is as nothing compared with that which pre- vailed when Sumter was fired upon
 Gust thirty-seven years ago Monday and the nation found itself on the eve of that tremendous struggle for the preservation of the Union which shook the world. Thirty-seven years have elapsed since the word was flashed all over this great land that this nation must fight for its integrity and it's uni- ty. There are hundreds of New Ha- veners who recall the excitement that prevailed here when the news was bull letined that Sumter was fired on. For
 four long years the country was the theater of a vast conflict, during which hope and fear alternated in the breasts
 of the people,-when news of battles
 and carnage was of almost daily oc-
 currence. Should war with Spain oc- cur, no such fearful, devastating, far
 reaching and dreadful contest need be expected. The fight will be chiefly on the sea,-a sea conflict. The fight will be with a nation weak and already handicapped by a long, fruitless and costly war and treasury nearly emp ty. Let us hope that Cuba may be freed without our recourse to arms, but if war comes the nation stands as a unit, North and South, East and West standing shoulder to shoulder for the old flag.

WARTIME.

Preparations for war and the pend- ing national situation have turned the attention of great many thinking people in this land of ours to the theo- ry that this country has emerged from it's non-combatant and non-interfer- ference attitude and become one of the worlds great war powers. It does not necessarily follow that Uncle Sam is now to go around with a chip on his shoulder daring all other war powers to come out and have fight. Nor does it's mean that this nation is de- parting from it's peaceful and peace loving character, as witness the im- mense forbearance of this country in the pending Spanish-Cu question. This is a Christian nation, and it has behaved like one in the present sorely never did allow other folks to tread on his toes with impunity and great and
 
 of the brilliant sea fights in which the Stars and Stripes won undying lustre. But the fact remains that our country has not been reckoned as a sea power until now. Now, however, this is changed as our big fleet of gallant war vessels attests and the fact remains that one effect of the present contro- versy and war expenditure will be to establish the United States on war footing as one of the powers of the world. Heretofore our nations tradi- tional policy has been that of non-in- reference. It has been taken for granted that we would have little need for war owing to our geographical po- sition, and the fact that as the re- sources of the country are practically

unlimited there would be no need of taking measures for defense. It was assumed that if menace of war came all that this nation would have to do would be to press the button of the treasury and funds sufficient to build stream of warships would be provid- ed immediately for any emergency. But this nation has become so large and important a factor in the worlds affairs that it can no longer be merely g spectator of the procession of old world nations and no matter how peacefully we are disposed, emergen- cies may arise which may force the country into war. The United States is likely in the future to maintain more warlike front than it has ever done before. With it's thousands of miles of seacoasts and it's many cities bordering on the sea, with it's vast commercial and industrial interests, with it's need of control of the Nicara- qua canal, the constantly recurring cry for the annexation of Hawaii, etc., this country Is likely to become and remain a sea power that will command respectful treatment from other na- tions.

 Baltimore Sun: The American Mu- scum of Natural History has recently obtained in Wyoming the bones of a dinosaur, or land reptile, which is. of an extraordinary size. It is the largest form of reptile that flourished during the age of reptiles, and our present al- ligator is baby to it. The thigh bone of the specimen found in Wyoming is six feet long and it was sixteen feet high at the withers. Its tail extended back tWenty-seven feet and was of use, it is believed, in assisting locomo- tion. The entire length of the animal was sixty-two feet. It is the largest land animal known to have ever ex- isted. Notwithstanding his size, the dinosaur in question had had his troubles. There gre deep cuts in the vertebrae of the tail, which show that some ferocious beast had bit it.

You may rent there if you like very fine house, For six weeks 1t will cost $15,000 There is no reason for such values, The advan- tages are not compensatory. Newport has not the charm of the country. It lacks the enticements of town. There is no scenery. There Is no snap.

And yet if their occupants wish for dip, they must go a mile away On Bellevue avenue there is no bathing, of course.

The sole at traction is the society. That is indeed unique. Never perhaps save in the petty and pretty Italian courts of ear Her days has there been gathered to- gether a set of people so rich, so good looking, so idle, so profoundly uninter- ested in anything but themselves, as those who congregate there each sum- mer. It is a privilege, of course, to be in such fine company. It is like lolling in a club of millionaires where few of the members think and none have emo- tions.

FASHION NOTES.
Have Fringe to It.

The fringed Roman scarf ought to seem common by now, but it does not because there is so much room for choice and taste in color, quality and combination. They are put to all sorts of use, beside that of passing stock fashion about the neck and knoting with long ends in front. They are drawn about travelling hats, knotted to one side at the back, the fringe lying on the hair. The idea doesn't seem suited to travelling, but it is stunning for street wear. Sailor hats are to be

thus trimmed, too. scarfs extra long are used for belts, and are tied after passing twice around the waist; para sols are ornamented with knotted fringed scarfs, and tiny little bows are set on slippers and are fringed at the ends; indeed, when in doubt use a fringed striped scarf, no matter what for, would seem safe rule Summer material of gauge striped with silk in bright colors are finished with knotted fringe, and 1t is possible to buy by the yard fringe with generous head ing, so that you can finish out your scarf properly and not have the put ting on of the fringe show conspicu- ously.
 New embroidered scarfs are appear ing, and are pretty enough to win pur- chasers, but they are not as distinctive as the fringed sorts and will not sup plant them. One of them is added to the novel blouse waist pictured here. Tying in a widespread bow, it's ends were spread also, so that the delicacy of their embroidery should have thorough display. To harmonize with this waist, such tie should be black satin embroidered in violet silks, pref erably of several shades. This because the waist was violet peau de soie, It had overlapping fronts bordered with revers of violet satin, and these were again edged with rose quillings of black satin ribbon. Vest and the flaring col lar were violet satin. The fronts and back were decorated with bias folds of the silk, and the violet silk sleeves | were covered with shirred black chif- ion and ended in pointed cuffs.
