The various recommendations of wa
department officials favor an increase oil
the standing army to 10000 men. The
changed conditions and increased terri
orial acquisitions certainly justify the
.nactment Of laws to this end, but the &C
.omp!ishment, according to reports OF
eciuitng officers, is going TO be more
difficult thing, Since the mlsmansge-
nent in the handling of troops during
he recent war, men who were willing
before to serve, seem to regard enlist.
nent as volunteering themselves tor
sacrifice and are CORE: ponding ly SLOW
about taking action. The administra-
tion will find il necessary to make some
weeping changes in the system, from
secretary Alger down, before It will be
possible to secure a standing army Of
10000 men to preserve our new colonle'
IN the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
work of the whitewash committees ano
the election 'vindication of Alger" will
not be effective in removing the untavor-
able impressions Of his management OF
the war department. Something more
effective, looking to the removal OF Alger,
himself, must be done before the propoS
ed increase of the regular army becomes
a possibility.

'CONCERNING EXPANSION.

The race problem has always been an
aggravating one in this country. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the president
or congress shall seriously propose state.
hood or local self government to Hawaii.
Puerto Rico and the Philippine islands,
with their hundreds of thousands of ne
eroes, half.breeds and Malays. Will
these ignorant folk be given the ballot,
or will the few thousand whites be
charged solely with the election fran
chise? Bad as is the domination of the
ignorant blacks, it can not be doubted
that an oligarchy of a handful OF whites
is repulslve to American sentiment. We
are not yet ready to crow over our acqui.
sitions in the two seas but approach the
consideration of the disposition of these
islands with fear and trembling. We
are apprehensive that we have acquired
something we would be better off with
out, but, of course, we can not yet see
our way clear to gracefully dispose of
these fruits of conquest. Senator Hoar
is clearly right in one matter, however.
There should not be one cent paid to
Spain for the sovereignty of any o. her
old islands. This sovereignty she either
has yet or has lost ny the prowess o. our
arms. If it is ours why pay millions for
It? This congress will have its hands
full when the treaty comes up for tonsld
Grafton and the signs are that the presl
dent will find opposition IN all parties
The jingoes are as EumerouN IN one as
be othel party, and the question has
not presented a political phase wherein
either party appears to have adopted
clear policy concerning expansion and
absorption.

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
New Idea in Tafeta Skirts-Dressy
Afternoon Gown of Grenadine
Jackets for Fall.

Blouse suits of plain and fancy weave
are made with revers, belt and apron,
with large buttons for fastening, and
finished with braid garniture.
A new idea in the taffeta skirts is
to have the founcesi edged with frill.
Skirts worn with silk waists are pret-
ty trimmed with cross ruches of mar
row ribbon.
Sleeves are being made smaller and
without trimming, except at the wrist.
Waists are elaborate. with revers and
epaulets, and skirts are tucked, ruff
fled and braided. Suits of cheviot,
covert and cloth are braided, while silk
and cashmere are rut1ied or tucked.
A pretty afternoon gown of grena-
dine is made with accordion-plaited
blouse and skirt, and cross-tucked
sleeves over black, with sash oflight-
green taffeta. To make it more dressy
the ribbon may be edged with a mar
row frill of black mousseline, headed
by tiny applique band of mousseline
embroidered with jet beads and span
giles.
Jackets for fall wear are to be made
longer than last year. Flat bands are
the most appropriate trimmings for
heavy goods. Costumes are made of
two shades of cashmere, cloth and
other heavy goods; the darker color
forms the side seams and upper part
of skirt. The jacket may be finished
with bands of velvet or fancy goods.
The rest is of satin or brocade.-Chi-

Care of DahIias in Winter.

When frosts come dahlias can have
the stems cut away and be lifted.
Stand clumps. of tubers in a shady
place out of doors for few days, COW
ering at night if frost is feared.
Thus exposed to the air the tubers
will lose a portion of moisture and be
in better condition to keep well in a
box or boxes of sand that is nearly dry.
Caladiums can be treated in the same
way. The cellar should be nearly
dry and quite frostproof; if damp there
is danger that the tubers will mold

prior to 1874 Liberty enjoyed an ex

at the head OF tidewater ON the Trinity
river. The railroads which traverse the
country north OF the place naturally killed
the steamboat trade, and the consequence
was that tho town for u number OF years
refrigerated In commercial Importance. The
influx of newcomers and the advance in
land values of recent years have caused
the old town 10 get a move on herself, and
today there are few towns OF the same
population as Liberty In she coast country
that have made more substantial i'm
provements with the last two years. THIS
is evidenced by the erection of q number
OF handsome cottages, residences, new
store buildings and II commodious city hall
and school house combined Mt cost OF
$500.
The town is governed by a progressive
council, who have recently purchased two
carloads of sewer pipe. which, when placed

Two large manufacturing plants, han
died by Northern capital. are expected TO
