NO VAR IN SIGHT.

Senator Mark Hanna says there will be no war, and although he may possi- bly, be mistaken the probability is that he is right. Of course there is an un- easy feeling and there is real war on the New York Stock Exchange, with great slaughter of the lambs. But that isn't war with Spain. Some people are unduly excited by the indications that some preparations for war are being made. They are, but such work is only the exercise of common prudence. There will be no rashness at Washing ton and there will be no war until all reasonable and right measures have been exhausted in efforts to keep the peace. Spain can't afford to fight and doesn't want to fight if she can help it.. The official talk between the two coun- tries will be carried on calmly and courteously by men who feel the tre- mendous responsibility resting on them. They know that "war is hell,'' as General Sherman called it, and they will not carelessly plunge their coun- tries into it. So we can wait with pa tience and reasonable confidence that "the war clouds will soon be dissipat- ed by the sunshine of honorable and equitable peace.

 .I VICrORY OF PE.a CE,

Peace hath her victories, and the peaceful conquests which this country is making in foreign markets are very pleasing to the national pride and the national pocketbook For instance, foreigners are finding out that we can make shoes. Slowly but surely our shoe manufacturers have been increas- ing their sales in European countries. At first the styles, though correct and beautiful, did not satisfy the notions of foreign customers. Their tastes be- ing studied it was not long before lasts were introduced adapted to the pecu- liarities of the English and German feet. As soon as this was done the superior quality and cheapness of our factory made shoes at once gave them standing in foreign markets. Foreign manufacturers could not compete with us in the shoe- making line. It is now said that a large corporation in Scot- land will equip its shoe factories with American machinery. The announce n1ent produces much talk in that coun- try. The Edinburgh Scotsman, in an article on American machinery for shoe factories says: Someone may ask Why American machinery?' The an swer must be, Because 1t Is the best In the invention and production of machinery for the rapid manufacture of boots and shoes America undoubt- edly stands unrivaled." This admis- sion does not altogether account for the extension of American shoe trade Much of the success that has attended it comes from the higher skill and ac- tivity of American workmen. A Ger man firm sent on an expert to look into the shoe business in this country He sent back word that in certain Massachusetts shoe factory which he visited, the average wage earned by all classes of operatives was $15 per week and the net labor cost per pair of shoes produced, 40 cents; whereas, in German shoe factories, where the average earnings of operatives are only t marks (ss.S0) per week, the labor cost for shoes of similar grade is 5s cents per pair
 Such victories as this are worth hay. ing. They are more pleasant ant
 profitable than a war with Spain woult be.

Another reason for your not making good appearance in this cut is that you probably do not wear fine grade corset. So many women have the idea that a corset should wear and the bones not break. Directly you get into a princess dress the hard edges of the corset will show, the top in front and back, the sudden finish of pressure at the edge over the hips, and the straight pinch towards the waist It you will wear princess gown you must get a corset that will be featherweight in the hand, made of silk and unlined :; that is, the silk should be soft heavy double-faced weave. The bones should be countless and small. The body should be rounded slowly and gently to a tiny waist, not suddenly smashed in flat. To attempt to get corset suita- ble for wear under a princess dress at less than five dollars is madness. Eth CT give up your notion of wearing prin- cess, or give up your present idea as to what is a good corset.
 Notifications of the princess cut that are not quite so trying are many, and
 gowns consisting of skirt and bodice that will not detract from the wearer' S height are not few. It is your tall l woman who wants to look queenly who most often rushes to her discontinue in a princess dress. Here is a skirt

 Not recently" she replied
 The judge shook his head and looked thoughtful
 AS recall it," he said, when you first became engaged nothing would satisfy him but an Immediate mar riage.,"
 He was inclined to be rather hasty," she admitted,
 And that disposition on his part lasted from early spring until late in the summer" continued the judge.
 Until the latter part of August or the first of September he was very urgent" said the judges daughter, but l was opposed to summer wedding; now must confess his ideas seem to have undergone a change and he is quite ready to wait until next spring, in fact, he has said that there is no hurry, and that spring weddings are the incest, anyway. I don't under stand 1t at all"
 T do," returned the Judge grinaiy
 You do?"
 "Yes, do I can see through 1t all, and I want to say that think you have got the most designing young fnan that is to be found in the whole state of Illinois," T don't understand you, papa" she protested.
 Why, it's simpler than a general police order,' explained the judge, and don't know whether to con- graduate you on getting young man who is sure to be success in the world or to get mad because he Is putting | me In such a hole" What has his silence got to do with | you?"

 Why. papa, you don't think"
 T don't have to think when things are as plain as they are in this case At the beginning of the season when you have a new bicycle he wants you lin a hurry, and he continues to want you until near the close of the season .

If I take her now I'll have to put up for it; if hold off for few months can stick the old man for f and get the bicycle with the girl Ant he holds off,
 "But don't think much of the chain less wheel, anyhow she said ''It rather have the wheel I've been riding. | Say that to him!" exclaimed tn, l judge. It doesn't do no good to tell mt about 1t, Say it to him, say 1t witt sufficient earnestness and you'll b, married before Christmas. -Chicagt Post.

4 SOUTH CAROLINA ATROCITY.

Let us turn away for a moment from mortified contemplation of Spanish atrocities" and contemplate the atroc- ity committed in Lake City, South Car olina. in this land of the free and home of the brave.
 Fraser B. Baker was appointed post master of Lake City last September He was negro, and of course his ap- pointment was not pleasing to those inhabitants of Lake City who look re- gretfully back to the time when people like Baker were slaves. They objected to taking their mail from Baker. Their objection found favor with Senators Tillman and McLaurin, and these gen. tlemen requested that Baker be remov- ed from office. The Postoffice depart ment decided that 1t could not justly and constitutionally remove a postmas- ter because he was darker in color tha n some of those whose mail he received and distributed. But those who want ed him removed were not satisfied with
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-02-24

this decision, and it was finally dee'd- ed to remove him without regard to the attitude of the Postoffice depart ment At midnight the remoyers went to Bakers house and set ire to H' Baker, fleeing from the flames was shot dead. His wife was wounded and the babe in her arms was instantly kill ed. Three other children were shot, but they may survive.
 The people of this country have been thanking God that they are not as Spaniards are. It is the spaniaras' turn now We are solemnly talking Of intervention in Cuba in the name of outraged humanity Perhaps Spain will have something to say about inter- vention in South Carolina.

FASHION NOTES,
Lures to DIscoInfitnre.

Princess dresses are still tempting women who haven't the figure for them by the appearance they make on the women who can bear them off nicely. They are more trying than one woman in ten realizes. In a princess dress one hip is likely a little higher than the other, or, rather, you stand slumped down on one hip, which makes it seem higher, while the shoulder above it droops. This skews your back. The slump and skew may be so slight that they never showed in the usual cut of gown, but they will spoil your looks in princess gown.

ZOLA,S CONYICTION.

The Frenchy trial of Zola ended yes- terday and ended in Frenchy way. Zola was found guilty on all the counts. He was sentenced to a years impris- onment and to pay a fine of 5000 francs. The jury declared that there were no extenuating circumstances and Zola cried, "They are cannibals!" It is not reported that the jury answered, Con spuez Zola!" but if they didn't they ex- ercised more self-restraint than most of those connected with the trial seem to have exercised.
 Zola may be closed for awhile, but it is not probable that the Dreyfus incl dent is closed. It will be heard from again and perhaps in very unpleas- ant way and at an unpleasant time M. Laborie, Zola's counsel, said in his argument: "I believe the country will soon realize the gravity of the situa- ton and will revolt and protest in the name of eternal morality. This is what M. Zola has done." If such wrong has been done as Zola and some other lovers of justice think has been done the situation is certainly grave. What ever happens, Zolas skirts are clear He has done what he thought to be his duty, and has done it with true. cour. age. He and his able advocate deserve and have the respect and honor of all who are not blinded by prejudice.

An apparatus for purifying the air of buildings by means of what Is term ed the plenum system has been brought to public notice by the inventor, chusetts. In such system the exter- nal air Is drawn into flue by means of blower to box of heating coils, and thence forced through hot-air shaft, whence it is conveyed to the va rious rooms of the building. The ar rangement for carrying out his princi- pie consists of an air-cleansing appa- ratus composed of one or more vertical portable tubes or bags having walls of porous fabric located at the entrance of the air flue, the upper end of each tube being open to the external air and the lower end being closed, so that the air will enter the tubes and pass through their walls into the f1ue. The upper end of each tube Is distended by means of a frame and held to the un- der side of frame secured to the sides of the vertical portion of the flue. Eacf tube is distended near the lower enc by hoop, and maintained taut and steady by cords, which hold the tube in cleat at the bottom of the fiue When the air enters and passes down 2 tube it, with any foreign substance, al dust, lint or carbon particles from coal smoke. strikes against the inner wall of the tube diagonally; the ail passes through, while the foreign mat

The correspondent of the London Times in Vienna says that the order, issued by the police authorities in Prague, forbidding students to wear their colors and Insignia in public places seems likely to be even more mischievous in it's effect than expected. The conflict is no longer confined to the original prohibition, but has become question of the joint education of the various nationalities at the existing universities and high schools. The de- mand for separate educational facili- ties has been revived by the Slavs in more positive and urgent form, and the whole affair threatens to assume the proportions of a political question of considerable importance. It. in- creases immensely the difficulties in the way of the governments efforts to bring about a compromise between the conflicting nationalities.

As to the influence of tobacco on health, this appears from an analysis of facts gathered by 8 Russian doctor: Out of 100 smokers, 1909 per cent. fell i'll from affections of the respiratory organs. and out of 100 non-smokers only 10.96; Ill from affections of the diges- tive organs, out of 100 smokers, 11,sS, and out of 100 non- smokers. 9.92; affect ed in both apparatus, respiratory and digestive, out of 100 smokers, were SIT per cent, and out of 100 non-smokers only 322; in general, 36.74 per cent. of smokers and 23.S3 per cent. of non- smokers were taken i'll. As these facts were derived from an inquiry among one thousand young men of about the same age and physical condition they seem to show enthusiastically that smok- ing is deleterious to health.
