was the 18th regiment of regulars load
ed at Savannah on their transport in Is
hours, and only yesterday three COM
mands We're embarked on their trans
port at Charleston and sent to Cuba in
a single day, without a complaint as to
the care and provision for the men. The
contrast between the in which
Skaters and Duffield's army was han
dled and the way in which troops are
handled now, is very striking, and can
not fail to impress the observer. The
army is in better shape than it ever was
before, and who is there to deny that
the change for the better is not materi-
ally due to the publication through the
commissions hearings. of the glaring
faults and ignorance displayed in the
spring and summer camps and in the
Santiago campaign?
At the same time, the administration
has made no brass band display over
these reforms. There has been no proc
lamation to the world of what would
be done: but the serious question of
abuses and the elimination or worthless
or undesirable official material were
taken promptly in hand by the admins

and ere the public woke up to a realiz-

grounded and iustifiable complaints had
been removed. The president kept his
own counsel as to his intentions, profit
ed by the testimony brought out before
commission, and has effectually applied
the needed remedies.

senator will represent a state in the
north. One senator from Montana and
one from Utah may be classed as Dem
ocrats, but they will be elected by fu-
sion legislatures, and are as much Pop
ulists as Democrats. This situation will
probably be unparalleled in the history
of the country. Another fact is, that in
addition to the strength from the north,
the Republicans have broken into the
Democratic stronghold and will have
eight senators from the south.
In nearly all the Republican legislat-
ures which have to elect senators, there
will be warm contests for the party's
nomination. In almost every case there
will be several candidates in the field
for the honor, and to the credit of the
party it can be said that most of them
would fill the position admirably. The
certainty of SO large Il majority in the
senate is one of the strongest proofs of
the healthful condition of the Republic
can party.
1t is rare that a party, in the middle
of an administration. has been able to
point to so striking an evidence of its
popularity as the Republican party will
be able to do when the second congress
of William McKinley's administration
comes into existence.

Said Nothing, But Sawed Wood.

Specifically minded writers may
poke fun at the investigation of the con
duct of the late war by the administra-
TONS commission and affect to believe
there is really nothing in it, but to one
accustomed to reason from cause to eff
feet, it appears that the Investigation
by this commission of able men has al
ready had an influence wide reaching
in its scope and action. Is it not sug-
gestive that there are no more walls and
complaints from field and camp about
poor food, improper preparation of ra-
tions, of threatened e%pidemics of dis
ease, of insufficient service from the
quartermaster's and commissary's de-
partments? Is it not suggestive that
the sensational papers no longer TEEN
with narrowing tales of barbarities in
the hospitals and neglect of soldiers by
incompetent nurses and careless sur
geons?
Why all this cessation of this military
m%elodrama, grand stand plays and out
bursts of humane appeals for gallery
appreciation? Why are there no more
vociferous protests against furnishing
Montana rations for tropical climates,
Of Arctic clothing for Cuban wear
and further repetition of the long and
loud EXPLANATIONS against criminal
carelessness and stupidity in military
m~anoeuvres? 1t is nothing more than
fair to largely ascribe this notable re-
form to the Investigations of the pres
ident's commission, which have created
so profound an impression in the war
department, that the necessity of acute
and penetrating reform was made I'M
mistakably evident. There may be a
good deal yet to be done; but the work
of reform has beer taken up so energet-
ically and effectively by the heads of
the different departments that the
Transformation from incompetency and
chaos to ~thoroughness and efficiency OF
administration in this very short time
has been remarkable and praiseworthy.

The Senate OF the 56th CONGRESS.

The terms of 80 senators will expire
March 4, 1899. Six of the in
the senate which will thus occur have
been filled, leaving "a senators yet to be
elected. Senators Money, of Missis-
sippi: Hanna, of Ohio; Aldrich, of
Rhode Island: Proctor, of Vermont. and
Daniels, of Virginia. have been re-elect-
ed. and McComas has been chosen in
Maryland to succeed Senator German.
The other "a elections should all be
completed in January, unless there
should be prolonged contests in the state
legislatures. except in the case of Flor
ida, whose Legislature does not convene
until April 6. In the event of a special
session of congress being called before
that date, which is not at all probable,
one Of the seats belonging to Florida
would be vacant for a time.
Promising that Republican legislat-
ures will elect Republican senators, and
Democratic legislatures will elect Dem
ocratic senators, the political complex
ion of the seth senate FAN be outlined:
the Republicans will have a majority

Democrats and Populists, and the men,

The Philadelphia Items strong point


The Philadelphia Items strong point
is fighting trusts, whether it accom-
plishes anything or not. In a recent is
of that paper, said: IF industrial
combinations are permitted to multiply,
they will eventually overshadow every
line of Independent employment and eff
fort and create a nation of employees
and servants. 1t is time that the ten
dency is checked" That sounds all very
fine, but the Item forgot the most i'm
portant part of the matter: 1t made no
suggestions as to the manner of stop
ping industrial combinations. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to find fault
with conditions, to raise a row over act
u~alities. but it is another proposition to
put in motion the power which will cor
rect the evils complained of. Fewer
faultlinders and more practical workers
are what is needed, and unless the crit
les car suggest something better than
what they c~riticise they would better
maintain a discreet silence.

1t is an unfortunate thing for


1t is an unfortunate thing for a young
man in this day and age to be the son
of his father. No matter what he does
or 10Y assiduously he strives to do his
duty, there is always some one standing
ready to point the finger of ridicule at
him because he had a father who was
known to the world at large. No Won
der the rising generations take a
gloomy view of life and travel the pace
that kills. This matter never has Deer
called to public attention more forcibly
than during the recent wal with Spain,
and the criticism which has greeted ev-
cry act of the sons of men who We're
prominent in the years that have passed
has been enough to discourage every
boy in the country. A word of commen-
dalton now and then will do more to
bring out all that is good in a young
man than all the faultfinding that can
be printed in all of the papers in the
land in a veal.

menterie, but the waist should be left free.
The closing may be concealed under trim
ming or may occur under the arm
Collars are still worn very high for
bodices, jackets and wraps. Wrap collars
flare less than formerly, while the collars
of bodices are as straight and tight as pos
siblo. In capes the collar and yoke are
frequently cut in one, the requisite curve
being obtained by lengthwise seams.
The cut illustrates a gown of broche
silk, having a Louis XIII design in colors
on q black ground. The skirt is perfectly
plain and has a slight train. The bodice
has a long, round basque, bordered with
a plating of black mousseline de sole,
and opens over a yoke and plastron of
plated pink surah, the p%lastron being
crossed by bars Of black satin passing
through jeweled buckles. There are plat.
ed epaulets of black mousseline dc sole.
The toque of pink velvet is trimmed with
black velvet, black plumes and pink flow
ers. Lace frills are worn at the neck and
wrists, and pearl gray gloves accompany
the costume. JUDO CHOLLET.

The attitude of the Republican party
of New Mexico has always been coll
sistent on the question of the admission
of the territory as a state. We favored
the admission of the territory when the
Democratic party was united in their
opposition against it. We still favor
its admission, believing that there is no
good and substantial reason for keeping
us out of the Union as a state and be-
lieve that this can best be accomplished
by the election of a delegate to congress
who is in harmony with Republican
politics and principles. Republican

The Democratic-P opulist combination
is made up of 26 Democrats and ten
Populist and silver senator's. Among
the Populists is counted Kyle, of South
Dakota, but recent expressions from
him make it probable that he will be
found voting with the Republicans Oft
ener than the opposition. With his
vote, the Republicans will have a ma
jority in the next senate of 20. In this
statement the West Virginia legislature
Is n upon to elect a Republican
to succeed Senator Faulkner. There
does not appear to be much doubt of
this, although the Democrats nay de-
lay the election by some attempt at rev.
dictionary tactics. In the other states
set down as expected to elect Republic
can senators there can be no doubt as to
the result. The Republican majorities
in the legislatures are large enough to
| remove all uncertainty. In no proba-
bility can the Republican majority in
the senate of the seth congress fall be-
low 16, and it may rise to 90.
One of the remarkable features of the
next senate will be the large Republican
gain. Since 1893 the Republicans will
have gained IS seats, ten of which gain
will be over their strength in the pres
net senate. SO great a gain has not
come to the party before in 30 years, and
it insures long continued Republican su-
premacy in the upper branch of con-
gress. Another remarkable feature will
be the lack of Democratic senators from
the northern states. From the Atlantic
to the Pacific not a straight Democratic
