 Some of this years little tailor jack cts are very pretty While as simply as any healthy mind should desire, they are not characterized by severe finish, and are better for that fact, because of which, accompaniment or other than the strictest tailor millinery is permissi- ble. Young women have their choice of braid or folds in these, and some taste- full models combine both methods of finishing. The jacket sketched here with was finished with heavy tan silk cord, it's material being light tan beav- CT. Shirt and of glove fit in back, these jackets have very jaunty look.
 Scarlet coats are occasionally worn horse shows and the like or who do much driving. Most of them have a readymade look, however. The scarlet jacket is the right wear for a showy golf rig, but such a garnet must be just right, and even very full ward robe can get along without one. Long ulsters of the coaching variety are very stunning and sporty looking, and the right sort of box jacket in oyster color, with the correct baggy wrinkles in the back, is fine garment for any woman to have who is deeply interested in horses.

4 rrEW OF THE NEGRO QUESTION.

%h 'AEW ,oH HE NEGHO UUES1ION. Ex-Governor Bullock of Georgia was | shareholder and Confederate sol dier, but after the war was over he stood up for fair play for the negro and an honest acceptance of the results of about the negro question is we'll worth attention, and it will receive it. Gen \ eral Bullock has long believed in and advocated a State suffrage based upon | intelligence and property qualifications, | and he now says: While there may | be those among us who would seek to | limit the suffrage on color line no | one who can read the Fifteenth amend | ment is fool enough to attempt such a. | proceeding. It can be safely accepted | as fact by our friends North that the | intelligent property-owning and tax | paying colored citizens of Georgia have no objection to modification of the | franchise of our State upon such a
  | franchise is greater than that of the white man, because a white man can care for himself even under adverse circumstances. The first effect of such modification of the franchise would be lenity toward white men who are not legally qualified. But the riv- airy of candidates would soon enforce the law equally" In the meantime, General Bullock suggests that if con- gress has reason to believe that in any district in the South the member re- l turned as elected to congress was not fairly chosen by a majority of | the qualified voters, it decline to seat him and order new election. "The result of such action, if persisted in by congress will" says he, "be a full, free and fair vote, and an active opposition | canvass in each district. There can be | no doubt that it is better for us, bet | ter for the country, that we stand un- represented while we are bringing about such election systems in our districts as 1 will command the confidence not only l of congress but of the people at large" | In conclusion General Bullock says: Whenever it is understood that the ] negro is simply a citizen like the rest | of us, and not the ward of the na- | tion' or the pet of a party he will receive justice from the people among whom he lives. Sporadic cases of un- 1 just, unlawful and barbarous treat ment of the negro cannot be denied, nor is it entirely confined to the South But such instances are light compared with the total number of the negroes There is no recorded history of any race having equalled the progress of the negro from slavery to the present 1 day"
 It is pretty generally admitted that this country has been too generous with the suffrage, and there is a great deal of force in what General Bullock says.

MIR, nnANDEanE,s CANDIDACY.


 That Frank B. Brandegee of New London will be speaker of the house of representatives is now practically certain. He has had very little cpposi- tion from the first and that which did exist hasn't made progress enough to encourage itself and is therefore neither aggressive nor hopeful. The people of eastern Connecticut feel that their man is entitled to the place both by the lo- cality argument and the fitness argu- ment, and as few in other parts of the State oppose the former argument and none the latter, MT. Brandegee's call ing and election seem sure.

PEOPLES PARTY CONFERENCE
To Decide on Policy for the Coming Cam
 palgn.

The meeting of the populists, which was called by number of prominent men in that party to consider the present political situation, will be held in the court house at 10 o'clock today.
 There were at first only about a dozen names signed to this call, but since that time the number has been swelled to over fifty.
 The object of the meeting will be to dis cuss the present relations existing between that party and the democrats, and to de- eide whether the chairman of the county executive committee shall or shall not be urged to call meeting of the entire peo- ple's party of Jefferson county to consider what course they will pursue in theAap- preaching election
 As is well known, this is a question that is being widely discussed, and whether or not the popuists will participate in the democratic primaries and re-enter the party is of great interest all over the United States.
 John T. Shugart, acting chairman of the county executive committee, said to an Age-Herald reporter yesterday that he had no doubt but that the call on the chair man would be made.
 Dr. G. B. Crowe the chairman, will soon return from Washington. and it is SUD- posed that he will make the call for the general meeting and fix the date at once.
 Mir. Shugart said that he did not know what the mass meeting would do. There has been great deal of talk of harmony and of re-entering the democratic ranks, but that he did not think this was set tied fact. "Whatever they do or what ever plans they adopt" said Mr Shugart, "Ill stay with them"

A large proportion of those present enlisted last night, and a special meeting will be held Wednesday night, at which other names will be added to the muster roll, which already embraces some of the best-known and leading military spirits in the city.
 The uniform has been adopted and pre- scribed by the supreme conclave, and the tactics will be the United States drill reg ulations for infantry.
