SIR ARTHUR Wears, ULSTER AT ARMS.
Wears, Ulster king at arms, was an
imposing and dignified figure in mass
i've gold and crimson tabard and
quaint Elizabethan ruff
At the command, "Ulster, summon
the knightsl" he disappeared, almost
instantly reappearing, like a quick
change artist, in a circling crimson
cloak, heading the knights companions,
10 in number, who, walking in order
of seniority, took their seats on the left
of the chapter table, where was one
vacant seat, soon to be filled by the hero
Of the function. The knights were hab-
tied in their blue mantles and insignia,
and, with the staff of his excellency,
they made magnificent tableau.
The roll was then called, Queen Vic
toria's warrant read, and, preceded by
the official rod Of the gentleman usher,
Lord Charlemont, an old time official of
the viceroyalty, the Earl of Lucan was
presented to the grand master, who,
taking sword from an aid-de-camp,
dubbed the gallant soldier "knight."
The procession on this occasion was
interesting and striking. The Junior
knights, Lords Arran and Roberts, con-
Quoted the earl between them to the
chair OF state. His heraldic properties
were severally borne by the different
officers of the order. AthlUne, pursui-
want Of arms, led in the pageant, and
the banner was held by the Marquis Of
Hamilton. The earl himself wore the
uniform Of lieutenant colonel Of the
First Life guards, his medals glisten-
ing On his scarlet tunic. After signing
the statutory declaration, read by the
chancellor, he was robed by the senior
knights, Lords Listowel and Kenmare,
to the accompaniment Of the prescribed
Rdmonitions.
When finally girded with the sword
and enveloped in the mantle, fanfare
greeted the unfurling Of the new
knights banner, and Ulster, in a reso-
nant and clear voice, declared his titles,
as already recited, with the addition Of
his new investiture. Ulster then con-
cluded the ceremony by rehearsing the
dignities of the knights present, each
knight rising to his name and remain
ing standing while the list Of his dig
mites was read.
Perhaps the Earl of Lucan, a grave
and stately old gentleman Of nearly 10
years, was highly pleased at being made
the central figure in such circuslike
proceeding. He appeared to be. Few
democratic Americans will envy him
the joys of knighthood.

"a narrow lengthwise tucks and a white
fold down the center. The collar and
cuffs were white. A black string tie is
to be worn with II.
The cravat or tie worn with these diff
ferent waists has much to do with
their style. A rich shell pink cham
bray waist had wide bow of mordore
satin of the richest quality tied in a
double bow with ends. There was
satin stock of the same. A gray madras
shirt waist had a high white collar,
with a cravat of ruby in tulip leaf
points and one center fold.
These are but few and very few out
OF all we saw. My little friend fiut-
tered about like an inconsequent but
terhy here and there, seeing one waisf
eclipsed in some way by the next and
not being able, after all, to make a
choice.
"I'll sleep over IT," she said, "and In
the morning I'll know just exactly what
want, and as like as not the very ones

the order of the closing words of John

beautiful and so very useful. Even the
most Of the wash dresses have the full
yoke waist, so that one could speak Of
It among the shirt waists.
Among the novelties for spring one
finds full costumes of velutina trimmed
with ruched ribbon and applique of

above the knees was row of the same
rich lace four inches wide.
The Dewey flounce has had Its day,
and now the tunic is the rage. There
are various kinds of tunic effects. Those
where there Is a sharp point front and
back, with the sides much shorter,
seem to be the best liked. Next to them
are those where the fronts are rounded
off. This is often simulated by trim
ming. There is a bias fold of the ma
terial, and over the edges of this is a
row of black passementerie. This par
ticular gown has a vest of black silk
covered with the passementerie and
over that a plain bolero of the whip
cord. 1t makes a stylish tailor CO.'S

Another style OF tunlc is where there
is a princess overdress. One in this
style is a so called tailor suit of dark
blue cravanette. There are two ser
pentine flounces, each with a milliner's
roll Of satin. The overdress-polonais
or princess tunic, whichever you like
to call it's stitched three times around
and fastens down the front invisibly.
There is white satin vest front, and
six straps button across this. In the
back IT is simply princess shape.
The other style Of skirt is fitted close
ly to the hips and flares a little at each
breadth from the knees down. This
style has from seven 10 nine cores. That
gives it very perceptible flare.
A pretty example of this shape is
called ia campanula." The material
is light fawn and white plaid. with

CREATING A KNIGHT.
MEDIEVAL CEREMONY WHICH WAS
RECENTLY PERFORMED IN DUBLIN.

How the Earl OF Lucan Was Made
Knight of ST. Patrick with Much
Pomp and Circumstnnce-wby He
Was Honored.
Traditions die hard in Great Britain.
The other day there was held in Dublin
a ceremony which revived all the pomp
of medieval times. The occasion was
the making of Lord Lucan a knight OF
st. Patrick.
Lord Lucan has done nothing more
brilliant in order to deserve the honor
| than to be the son Of his father, who
was field marshal and won distinction
in the Crimea.
The English Garter, the Scotch This
tie and the Irish st. Patrick are the
three most distinguished orders of
knighthood which exist in the United
Kingdom. 1t is not every day that any
Of these orders is conferred, and, accord
ing to custom and in Difference to the
British nobleman's fondness for partici-
pating in ancient rites, the occasion is
always made a great show.
Previous to the act of disestablish-
ment the installations were held in st.
Patrick's cathedral, where, above the
several stalls, are still suspended the
helmets and banners of those who held
the order at that period. But the
church has been divorced by the state,
and the ceremony today is purely lay
and is performed in the castle in st.
Patrick's hall. 1t is a noble chamber,
decorated in white and gold, against
which the crimson chair of state stands
out in bold relief, overshadowed by the
six royal standards. From the walls are
suspended IA banners of the knights
| created since the secularization Of the
| order
At the Earl Of Lucan's installation,
just as in days Of old, blare of trum-
pets announced the opening of the
medieval drama as the Countess Cado-
gan and train of ladies, in black and
white came in. They took their seats
at each side Of the chapter table, which
was prosaically covered in blue cloth
and dotted with blotting pads. Then
the national anthem heralded the pro-
cession Of the viceroy, who was resplend-
ent in the sky blue robes and jeweled
insignia of the grand master of the or
der, his flowing mantle held up by two
small pages similarly caparisoned.
The viceregal staff was in attendance,
in glittering uniforms, and Sir Arthur

Let Us Get Touether.

The legislature has taken away from the
people the privilege of saying whether
they desire a constitutional convention or
not, and has not given them any substitute
whatever. It has said to the people, you
are incompetent to decide any question
relating to the constitution. and 1t has ad-
journed without day.
However much we may regret the re-
peal of the convention bill-however much
we may be distressed over the strange
combination that did it, still it is the duty
of every democrat In the state-every or
ganizatien democrat-to forget the past,
and to turn towards the future without
bitterness or i'll feeling.
If ever there was a time when united
action on tho part of the democracy of
the state was imperatlvely demanded, now
is the time. The state is left by the legis-
lature in a pitiable condition. The cor
ruption and Generalization that attend
ballot box dishonesty have never been
adequately portrayed. State pride forbids.
But all know that the ballot box experts
do not hesitate to cheat each other when
other cheating is not in hand. There is
scarcely feature of the political life OF
the state that is not tainted with the pre-
all democrats to stand together in favor of
a correction of the evl } that afflict the
state. Let not leave the state that is
otherwise so full of promise perpetually in
the hands of ballot box suffers. Let US,
as soon may be, remove all faint of
fraud from the ballot. Let us look forward
to the time when the young men of tho
state will not be taught to look on vile
methods as necessary and even commend
able.
1t is not matter SO much of white rule.
or of representation in congress, as it is of
common honesty in politics. The situation
is absolutely dreadful, and it becomes
worse by contrast as state after state is
lifted out of the rut, and put on solid
ground. We cannot afford to be the soil
tary terrible example of the country. Let
us get together and act as one man. Let
us remember Alabama first, last and a.
ways, and forget the action of the repeal
ers even if we cannot forgive it. The state
needs in this crisis all the wisdom and
unselfishness that can be brought to bear
upon the difficult problem, and all should
bear in mind that patient endurance and
unity of action are the qualities chiefly
needed until in August, 1900, the people
can determine what is best for all.

WAGES AT THE SOUTH


FROM the Boston Herald.
Mr.. Charles B. Spahr, a correspondent OF
the Outlook, has been making recently an
extended tour through the southern states
for the purpose of studying the industrial
condition of the people of that section, and
the information which he has collected
and from time to time sent to the Outlook
is exceedingly important in the bearing
that it has upon the competition to which
wage-earners in various parts of this coun-
try are subjected. A great deal was said
few years ego about the pauper labor OF
Europe, and the impossibilty of meeting
the competition of this labor in this coun-
try, where the prices paid for manual SER
vices were so much higher than in the old
world. If Mr. Spahr is to be trusted, there
is no material difference between the price
paid for agricultural labor in Europe and
that paid for the same class of labor in
the south. In what is known as the black
belt, the wages paid, both to black and
white men, are SIS a month, If rations are
provided, but the ratlons OF the colored
men do not apparently, cost over ten cents
day, and the rations of the white men
may be considered to have value of IS a
month, because if a white man lives at
home and feeds himself, he is paid $13, in
stead Of IS, month. Now, $13 month is
equivalent to about So a week, or, say, 80
cents day, which for an able-boded man
constitutes an exceedingly meagure return
for his services, and one which, we are in
clined to believe, is no better than agricul-
tural labor receives in western Europe Ii
low wages determined prosperity in produc-
ton, then, entirely unprotected as we are
from southern competition, with its wages
at starvation level, our northern states
would speedily part with large portion of
their industries. AS a matter of fact,
wages, daily, weekly or monthly, count for
very little in the. cost of production; it is
what is received in return for the wages
that determines results, and it must fire.
quently prove the case that wage-earner
who earns $1S week is much more eco
nomical person to employ than one who is
content to earn $13 a month.

Exports Through Southern Ports.

Something over &c per cent. of the coun-
try's exports in the last fiscal year passed
through southern ports, the total sum of
such exports amounting to $S19,S5s,156. Raw
cotton heads the list of values, followed in
order by wheat, corn, wheat flour, lumber,
naval stores, cotton seed cake and meal,
timber, iron and steel manufactures, cotton
seed oil, lard, tobacco, cattle, fertilizers,
copper, and pig iron. The value of the lat
ter exported through southern ports was
81, 7SS, 500.
Great as the gain in shipments from
southern ports has Of late been, yet about
one-quarter of the cotton exports still goes
out from northern ports, and the shipments
of cotton seed oil from New York alone
exceed the shipments from all southern
ports combined. Freight rates to the sea-
board have an important influence over the
course and outlet of shipments.
New Orleans outranked all ports in the
union in exports of zinc pig, molasses,
raw cotton and slaves. Newport News ex-
celed all In shipments of spices, tanbark
and tanning extracts and graphite; Mobile
was first in carbon and brown sugar; Nor
folk excelled all in coke, pig iron and logs;
Savannah, in bauxite, sea island cotton,
iron rails, rosin turpentine and spirits of
turpentne; Galveston in cottonseed cake
and msal; Brunswick in cotton seed and
sawed timber; Pensacola in boards, deals
and planl1s, and Wilmington in tar.
The value of farm products exported
during the year through southern ports
was s2i0 1887 9S9; of secondary products from
agricultural sources, $2S, i17,195; of forestry
products, $2S ,61S,9S and of mineral
products, s14,O96,541. These are handsome
figures, but if the timber and cotton and
iron of the south had been turned into
manufactured products before shipment 10
other countries it would have meant much
additional wealth to this section of the
country. We sell too much in the rough,
thus permitting the foreigner to reap the
lions share of profits.

STAND BY ME, KELLY

From the Huntsville Mercury.
Had Governor Johnston been a member
of the Legislature instead of the governor of
Alabama, it would have been bad enough
for him to trade with member of an OPP
posing political party, but as governor it
was reprehensible conduct for Joseph For
ney Johnston to make a Legislative trade
with Representative Kelly.
"Kely, 1 want you to be with me on this
jefferson county commissioners court BILL -
is the way the governor addressed the
populist legislator. Kelly replied that a bill
was pending to abolish the court in his
county, and that he opposed it. to which
the governor replied: yes, and 1 am OPP
posed to it; If you will stand by me 1 will
see that shall not be DONE" r
If Governor Johnston thus traded on the
commissioners court bill, what did he do
on the convention repeal bill? 1t must
have been just such trading that bound the
nineteen house populists to him on the re-
peal measure Is not this opinion justi-
fable? If not, why not.
The democrats of Alabama cannot and
will not tolerate such bossism. Governor
Johnston ought to know that his duties
are separate and apart from those of duly
qualified legislators, and that any interfer-
ence on his part outside of messages
which are purely advisory, is strictly and
highly improper. He should at least act
under the advice OF the constitution he IL
sworn to uphold and defend.

That Long Island Colony.

No doubt it would ease along the negro
problem if the negro population could be
evenly spread over the country; but as
color prejudice exists in the north-eXcept
upon paper-and as the climate in that
section is not over genial, and as the white
labor Of that section would rise up in re-
bellion at the ballot box and at the railway
station, it is scarcely probable that the
proposed movement will be readily or
speedily accomplished.
However, it is said, start is to be made
at Jamesport, on Peconic bay. near the
eastern end of Long Island There three
up into small farms on which, says Editor
Fortune, red onions will be raised. After
while concessions will be granted to facto-
ries. These factories will be owned and
conducted by white men, but they will be
asked to employ negro help only. Outside
of factory propretors no white men will
be permitted to live in the colony.
The scheme is in the hands of Rufus L.
Perry, of Brooklyn, who is a lawyer,
graduate of the New York university, and
democratic politician, although full
b,ooded negro. He thus describes the
plan:
AS soon as the land is secured grants
will be made to certain manufacturers who
will put. up factories. To the manufac-
turers all the labor they need will be guar
ut tc in for
which they must engage to abide by the
rules of the corporation which is to con-
duct the affairs of the colony. Streets are
10 be laid out and houses built, and when
the factories are in running order and
there are accommodations for the colon
lists, 600 of them will come up Already
the selection of the emigrants from the
south has been arranged for by the agents
OF the colonizers, and it Is expected that
the factories will be running by next win
ter.
This may be feasible, but 1t probably
looks better on paper than 1t will look on
the sands, amid tho Shrub pines, of Long
Island. Colonizing is easy enough in con-
ception, but very difficult ct the other end
of the process. The experiment Will be re-
garded with friendly interest in the south,
and no obstacles will be interposed In this
sectiou. Its complete fulhllment will be
wished for here. Alabams n not, 1t seems,

The Passing of Protection.

The Boston Post calls attention to the
dwindling Importance of the great protec-
tive principle" In two short years the
country has actually outgrown the entire
fallacy, whether applied to infant or adult
industries. The cry now is, give us wider
markets. The Home Market club of Bos-
ton no longer needs protection. Mr. Car
negie with bullying pockets spurns it, and
republican congressman in New England
are demanding the repeal of the duty on
hides and other articles. No one now cares
a flip FOR ''the great principle" except
here and there a beneficiary in some
special branch of manufacture who is not
as rich as he desires to be, and who, there
fore. wants a longer opportunity to rob the
many.
A cheap coat no longer makes a cheap
man, for all coats are relatively cheap, and
the importer or foreigner no longer pays
the tax. All the sophistries of the past
have been forgotten. Even 1.-The pauper
labor of Europe" is taking a rest in Ameri-
can politics. The sacred doctrine is no
longer sacred and the organ of the Manu-
facturers club of Philadelphia declares that
no one believes such stuff nowadays.
what" asks the Boston Post, has pro-
dueed this revolution of opinion? The war,
unquestionably has had much to do with
it. But the war only put the finishing
touch upon the demonstration which was
in progress when the war broke out. The
war emphasized the possibilities of competi-
ton in the markets of the world, but the
necessity of such a field for the disposal of
American products was already shown. Be
fore the war came the importance of the
Dingley tariff as revenue producer was
proved; so. too, was ability of American
manufacturers to compete successfully with
those of Europe in their own field. The war
only gave an added impulse to a movement
which had already started And now that
the war is ended, the situation becomes
clearer than ever to the popular under
standing"
The force of monopoly that 1.-The great
protective principle" built up and fostered
and really made possible will now fight for
the right to plumber the people at pleasure,
but protection is passing away, and no
campaign will hereafter be needed to over
throw it. 1t is dying of internal hollow
ness and external hypocrisy-fading out, as
fakes generally do, unnoticed and unsung.
