ONLY FIVE ETC HTHS.

Yesterday we congratulated the es- teemed Register on it's skill and ingenu- ity in making a serial story out of a Westville gentleman by speaking of him as Albert $ Downes," with as we sup posed, the cute idea of completing him by publishing the remaining as in some other issue. It appears that we gave our young friend too much credit for skill and ingenuity. It had no notion of continuing and completing MT. Downes and thus keeping up the inter- est. Its idea was to cut him off in one issue. Last night it said: "The fact is that MT. Downes sacrificed ss of his personality when he mixed up in the Westville educational contest He can never recover it, we are sorry to state We therefore took the only means known to us to present him fairly and squarely to his friends
 This seems to be a rather arbitrary performance, but if MT. Downes is sat- isfied we are. Perhaps he is a Demo- crat like the esteemed Register. If he is he may be willing to confess that he is only E this year.

4 NEW KISS.

There is a new kiss which is interest," ing, though it is not a kiss in which male beings can share or take any com fort, except that which comes from sec ing duty done. This new kiss has, it is said, made it's appearance among the women of the most exclusive soci- ety circles in New York, and if it has of course it will soon spread to New Haven. It is not literal osculation, but simply a touching of cheeks. The kiss CTS approach quite near each other. and while shaking hands each inclines the body forward, the heads pass and a soft cheek of one is pressed against soft cheek of the other.
 There is evidently something to be said in favor of this new kiss. It les sens the danger from microbes It is more elegant than the old kiss, if not as hearty. It isn't any more hypocriti- cal than shaking hands, even if it is as much so. It doesn't, or needn't, disar- range or muss anything. The sight of it doesn't disturb the male spectator as much as the sight of the old kiss does. And it is a mark of exclusiveness. It is cheering to think that it is Society kiss, and will therefore not be likely to spread out of Society among mere men and women.

THE DEMOCRATIC EyENT.

They started in to pull off" the great Democratic event in Bridgeport last evening, and the report shows that the rounds so far fought were pretty lively affairs. Gold drew first blood, but Sil- yer soon got in some fine work, and at last accounts was having decidedly the best of it. The indications now are that the remaining rounds will be easy for Silver, and that the knockout of Gold will happen when Silver gets ready to have it happen. The attend ance at the ring-side is not large or en- thusiastic, and the betting is not brisk.

FASHION NOTES.
As Silks Are Used.

Scarlet is still conspicuous among the stylish colors. It is called hunting pink, but it is really scarlet, and is one of the pet shades for dress Things. silks are still advised, though the lat CT effect is given by plaid It is nec- essary that a pronounced plaid should be matched, and that means lot of more goods than would be necessary in plain silk. A great many skirts are not lined about the hips, the Spanish flounce portion being the only part lined, but a silk petticoat is supposed to go underneath all.

GOVERNMENT IN AUSTRALIA.
How the Colonies There are Admins

How the Colonies There are Adminis-
 tered
 The movement in favor of Australian federation has naturally directed public attention to the system on which each of the antipodean colonies is at present goverened. When, on July IS, less than half century ago, constitution was granted to New South Wales, making, by the granting of equal privileges, the colonists the equals of their countrymen in other parts of the empire, the ties which bound the colony to the empire were in no way loosened, for the constitution act simply conceded to the people of New South Wales the same rights which prevailed in the United King dom, namely, of taxing themselves, and of being governed by ministers respon- sible to Parliament elected by the people. The authority vested in the sovereign remains the same as before, though the mode of it's eXcerise is widely different The sovereign, pre- viously to responsible government, ex- ercised, through the governor, almost despotic power. This official, in times past, united in himself the executive and legislative functions, and personal liberty and independence were to no small degree in his power. With the establishment of responsible govern ment, this state of things ceased, and the greatest measure of individual liberty is now found compatible with The readiness with which the people of the colony adapted themselves to the forms and practice of their new govern- ment was not a little remarkable, and fully justified their assumption of its

The low quail ty of the Indian coal at first raised seemed prohibitive of its use either for iron-smelting or for railways, but it is used now for both purposes.

Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to the United States, says that China's awakening is a fact. Free schools he says, "have been opened in Peking, her laws are to be codified and revised. and everything will be done to fit her to take her proper place among the family of nations. I have been direct ed to select the most valuable of the text books of the schools of the United States, to translate them into Chinese and to forward them to Peking for the use of the government. It is recognized that the way to modernize China is to educate the youth of the country The emperor has, therefore, directed the es- tablishment of a university, a high school and an elementary school in Picking, and officials and others have been invited to send their sons to these institutions as students. For the past 200 years it has been customary to ex- anime them on ancient history, but in the future examinations will be con- ducted on modern subjects, and the honors will be awarded to the students discussing them most satisfactorily"

The Gospel OF Cleanliness.

New York, October 9.-Cleanliness
occupies high place in the creed oil
a church society recently formed here
whose members are bound by the
rules to take a bath every day. Fol
the benefit of those who feel that toe
much bathing is not to be encour
aged, the rule reads: ITO take a
sponge bath or a cold water bath
every day, unless prevented by ILL
ness"
The name of the organization is
the Order of Silver Gross of our Mas
ter and Cleanliness. 1t was organized
by the Rev. Vim. w. Moir, assistant
rector of the Church of the Holy
Communion, at Sixth avenue and
Twentieth street.
AS given in the manual and cate
chism of the order, the one requisite
for membership is Ito be a clean man
ones self and to belp others to be
clean.n
The condition of cleanliness is also
applied in the moral and intellectual
senses. 1t is not unlikely that the
mem bers of the organization may oc-
casionally neglect to observe the
main rule and the corollaries.
Dir, Moir has, therefore, asked them
to report any neglect of the observ-
ance on their part. Every month be
receives reports telling OF neglected
cold tubs and other derelictions Of
duty Mr. Moir gives these persons
such counsel as he deems necessary
The imitation into the order follows
prescribed form, and the person
who has become member receives 8
small cross of silver, which he is tx-
pecued to wear constantly.

For Congress-,

At the meeting of the Grand Camp
of Confederate Veterans, held in Cul
pepper recently, Mr.. William l.. Roy
all resigned as chairman of the His
tory Committee of that body, because
the Camp refused to adopt that por-
ton of the report which said, that the
South recognized that the right OF
secession no longer existed, and has
since refused to reconsider his resolve
in that respect. Mr.. Royal ought to
be permitted to retire, and ought
never to have been allowed to reiter>
ate his desire to do so. The fact that
he is so unnecessarily unhappy over
the question of secession seems TO
indicate that he ought not to be re-
tanned in a position in which he
might be allowed TO dictate what
shall be taught the children OF the
South. Nobody wants TO secede now,
but every Southern man, with rare
exceptions, Mr.. Royal included, be-
lleved we had the rgnt 10 seceue
from the Union when we did, and if
our cause was lawful and just one
then is it any less so now? II the
right existed once it still exists, de-
spite the claim of Mr.. Royal to the
contrary. Truth crushed to the earth
by superior force nevertheless lives
on, and TO adopt the views of Mr..
Royal is but TO say that might
makes right Secession, to use a
homely expression, is dead as door
nail at this time, and it is to be
hoped that the right will meyer be
asserted again, but to teach our chill
dren it was once our right and not
now, is not only misleading, but is an
insult to the memory OF the dead
heroes of the Lost Cause.

"Jim Grow Cars'' are legal.

The Court of Appeals OF Kentucky
has reversed decision OF a lower
court, which had declared the
separate coach act unconstitutional.
The act, which was passed in 1872,
compelled railroads to provide sep
arate cars for white and colored pas
sengers.
In the Christian county Circuit
Court the Ohio Valley Road was sued
for damages by colored passengers,
who protested against being made to
ride in the Jim Crow car" and who
recovered damages on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional,
because it interfered with interstate
traffic. The full Court of Appeals,
two of the five Judges being republi-
cans, held that this was erroneous,
saying:
IF it was not conceded (Which it is
not, that the statute is invalid as to
interstate passengers, the proper con-
structlon to be given it would then
be that the Legislature did not SO in
tend it, but only Intended it to apply
to transportation within the State,
and, therefore, it should be held
valid as to such passengers. 1t seems
to US that passenger taking passage
in this State, and railroad companies
receiving passengers in this State are
bound to obey the law, in respect to
it's statutes, so long as they remain
within the jurisdiction of the State. !"
The court also held that the rail-
roads had the right, without enact
ment of law, to place passengers in
separate coaches if they desired to
do so.
The decision is in line with similar
decisions in Mississippi and Louis
lama. Many damage suits have been
brought by negroes against railroads
for enforcing the law.

Tuesday, November Sth, is election
day, and unimportant as the election
may seem to most of the democratic
voters of the county, because OF the
almost absolute certainty that Hon.
w. A. Jones, the only democratic
candidate to be voted for on that day,
will be his own successor, it is
we'll not to be too apathetic
and Indifferent in the matter
That Mr.. Jones will be reelected
beyond any reasonable doubt, is
probably true. but the consequences
involved are too important to
take too many chances as to
the result. Over confidence might
be disastrous to US, if it keeps
too many of US from the polls on
election day. The enemy might take
advantage OF il, If we are not on guard
While it is true, that the opponent
of Mr.. Jones is not a very fornida BILE
one, it should be remembered that he
has constituency, for the most part.
which responds readily to the induce
ments which Mr., Hanna might offer
them and could be organized in a
might if the word was passed down
the line to them. That We cannot
afford to be too apathetic or in
different 10 the result, we submit in
proof thereof the following from the
Richmond Dispatch:
The whole property owning, tax
paying population of Virginia should
become deeply interested in this
campaign. The arm of the demo-
cratic party in this State must be
held up, unless we would see repeated
here such condition of State affairs
as prevails in North Carolina; con-
dition from which the noble people
of that State are now CALAMITY striv-
ing to break away.
If, through the supineness or hard
medicines of our people, this YEARS
election ends in defeat in districts
where we should have won victories,
we shall find our enemies greatly en-
couraged to make hard fight for the
Legislature in 1899. The Legislature
to be chosen next year will elect a
senator in the Congress of the United
States, and Hanna will not scruple to
scatter his funds where they will do
most mischief to the democracy and
most good to his own party. Further
more, that Legislature is to prepare
the State for that transition period
when we shall enter upon the pay
menr of per cent. interest upon our
Century bonds.
So we see that whether we look at
the question from a national or State
standpoint we fiud that great conse-
quences are involved. For the demo-
Gratis to elect the next House would
be to ensure the country conservative
legislation on all matters relating to
our war with Spain. For US to fail
to do so would be to give the republic
cans full swing to increase the army
and navy to imperial proportions and
to saddle upon US all sorts of new
tariffs and new war taxes.
In short, it is time for us to be Civ
ing more of our thought, and time,
and means to the coming elections!
1t is a critical period in our history
and those who fail to do their duty
now must be content to be set down
as undeserving of the honors of our
party or of the name of democrats.
