The New Dress Coat.

The new dress coat for the winter Of
1S9S-99 is now ready to be launched in
England. From time to time efforts have
been made by sartorial professors to re-
lieve the sOmberneSS of gentlemen'S even
ing dress. Last autumn vests Of divers
ornate kinds were introduced one vari-
ETY. being in positive colOrs that suggest
ed that the Wearer was a member of
some hunt or even a football club. This
departure was altogether too glaringly
unconventional to "catch on" few men
finding sufficient courage to appear at a
dinner or a dance in a vest of blazing
crimson or mustard yellow.
1t is still considered desirab bic that some
little touch of color should be given to
mems evening clothes, which, though adj
mittedly neat, are too funereal for occa-
sions at which they are worn. The great
difficulty is to hit upon the happy mean.
Fashionable tailors believe they have
solved the problem with a new dress
coat. In this coat pretty embroidery
work replaces the usual plain silk facings.
No important change has been made in
the cut of the coat, but the lapel is deco
rated with raised floral designs. The
background is. Of course, black. and
against this the sprigs of flowers, dotted
with the colors of the originals they rep
resent, show up to great advantage The
work is done by hand and done very
neatly, judging from the specimens
shown.
The customer may have any design he
chooses worked on his coat, as each has
to be made separately. Therefore it will
rest with himself whether much or little
color is introduced. SO far the tendency
has been to avoid anything too obtrusive
\ design that will probably gain much
favor is one in which threads of old gold
appear on the tips of the flowers. If de-
sired, two Or more colors can be en-
ployed, but authorities do not expect this
pan to meet with much favor Of all the
attempts made in recent years to give to
gentlemen's dress clothes little OF that
picturesqueness which characterized the
garb of their forefathers, this is undoubt-
eddy the most acceptable. And it will be
interesting to see to what extent the new
fashion is adODted

to read Teddy Roosevelt's character

"We have furnished you the facts

glect, Indifference, how men whom
the government was under every OBJ

cause they had right to ,ely or

GREEN FIELDS BUT NO GRASS

People GO simply wild at the sug-
gestion of possible gold mines in
Cuba or Mindanao, and the papers
teen with accounts of exodus upon
exodus planned by seemingly sensi-
BILE people to the new ell dorado,
wherever it happens to be. Mean
while, new strikes and rich discover
les are being made at our own door
yard by those who are less theoretic-
al but more industrious.
1t may safely be said that, com
pared with the sum of labor and
money expended, few camps in
America can show remunerative re.
suits equal to Neihart. Yet we see
men every day who are sitting
around, impatiently waiting for
spring in order to fly to some other
field to see nothing and return in
worse financial straights than before.
We would advise all such to stay by
Neihart, and go to work-at leasing
or any other occupation. This camp
is all right, and he who pins his
faith hacked by his works to this
place will not lose his reward.

DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR
TOWN,

The arguments of the Miner fav-
orable to the establishment Of
board of the citizens of this place to
investigate the various methods of
concentrating ores are we'll founded.
The whole subjest looks to the
construction of successful concen-
trating plant here which when once
accomplished would surely he fol-
lowed by others,
The success of this camp lies in
the efforts OF her own people. Dur
ing the reign of low prices of silver
it cannot be expected that outside
capital can be induced TO invest in
such property. And our only hope
is in the prospective working of our
numerous low grade properties.
The Florence, the Queen, and the
Seven with their rich pay streaks
will shortly have their day. Their
operations are temporary salvation
to Neihart, but they cannot always
run. Shall we sit on our hunkers
waiting for the free coinage of silver
till the camp has wholly ceased to
work? Here are thousands upon
thousands of tons of suiphide which
will average perhaps 20 ounces in
silver, all carrying more or less lead.
The mines so fixed are too numer-
Gus to mention, comprising in fact
almost every ore producer in camp,
and many which have never been
able to produce ore al profit. On
good authority we have it that the
Broadwater contains vast quantities
of low grade ore. So do the Moul-
ton, the lngersoll, the Dakota, the
London. the Gait, the Queen, the
Benton, the Compromise, the Roch-
ester, the Whipporwill, the Lexing-
ton and 50 on. These are mention
ed out of consideration of the great
amount of ore some of them have
yielded at profit. The fact of the
presence of quantities Of low grade
ore in these mines leads to the sur
mise that Yankee ingenuity and
American enterprise will find way
to handle all the low grade bodies.
The subject is worthy of popular
attention. Men may sit and think.
and wait for prosperity which never
comes. And never till our people
realize that within their own efforts
lies the future veal of the camp
will the town of Neihart assume the
state of busy activity warranted by
the known richness and extent OF
her mines.

WHO WANTS the PHILIPPINES,

President Mckinley's administra-
ton has been marked bv wisdom
and sound deliberation. Few pres
idents of this country have moved as
carefully and cautiously in all mat
ters OF governmental policy as the
present Que. The mastery manner
in which public questions have been
disposed has ma le the present ad-
ministration re"ered at home and
highly respected abroad. The atti-
tude of moderation generally OBJ
served in the governments actions
has led many to question what the
United States wants with the Phil.
ippincs. And it is we'll established
that the president is not so much en-.
crossed with this question as he is
with that as to how he can easiest
let go of them.
1t will be remembered that one oi
the first strokes of the war was the
attack on Manila by Dewey, surpris'
ing not only Spain but all the
world. This move, primarily in.
tended to cripple Spain was follow
ed up to the extent of arming and
supplying the Philippine insurgents
and thus taking common cause with
them. 1t is now too late to talk ot
the wisdom of this action. 1t has
been done. And now should the
United States abandon the insurg
ents before their freedom is accom-.
plished?
1t belongs not in the terms O.
peace to say what the United State,
wants with the Philippines. But j
accords with high sense of nation
al honor that our country will stant
by the insurgents till their indie
pendence of Spanish rule is assured
By this course the president is set
ting a laudable example to France
who pursued the opposite course il
the dHys of Maximillian, and to 9th
er European countries who claiming
to be civilized have committed acti
below TIC level of barbarians.
The wage problem, the labo
question in America is a serious one
And this fact is known to no politi
cal party more than 20 the republi
can. Can it be supposed for a min
ute that the president contemplate
a move by which the Chinese popu
lation of this country will be in
creased as much as 100000 a
one stride? Positively no.
