Political Tide in the West.

No calamity party is in sight for next
year. Its foundation has gone to pieces
Nebraska banks report deposits amount
ing to 81, 600, 600. Ia the dark days of
the Cleveland failure and the Bryan scare,
the Nebraska bank deposits amounted to
only ST, 200, 600. They have doubled
under Republican administration. Bry-
an, if renominated, will be pushed hard
in Nebraska. Though state pride is en-
listed in behalf of a second trial, the Re
publican vote has grown since 1896. The
fusion plurality last year was only 2121
for Governor, the Republicans carrying
the Legislature and gaining Senator.
Bryan has no certainty in Nebraska in
1900. In fact, the chances are the other
way. Some of the Western states in his
list before are sure to go against him next
year. One of these is Washington. Bry-
ans anti-expansion views alone settle
that. Washington is for commercial de-
velopment on the Pacific. Its Republican
plurality last year was S023, quite a
change from Bryan l., 493 in 1896.
Kansas has parted company with the
silver party. Its Republican plurality
last year was Is, $40. Kansas and Wash
ington combined take fourteen electoral
votes from the Bryan column. A change
OF 1000 votes last fall would have given
Nebraska and South Dakota to the Re-
publicans. The gains of Republican Con
grsssmen in the transmississippi states
last November were remarkable, and had
the high distinction of saving the House.
All of Nebraska's neighboring states are
as prosperous as itself. Speaking in the
light of mathematical facts, Bryan's pros
poets in the states west of the Mississippi
have generally faded. Figures of all
kinds proveit. Nor can he count on gains
east OF the Mississippi, unless in Ken
lucky, in which the Democratic party at
present is more seriously divided than in
1896. The facts in the case suggest a
change in the Democratic candidate, but
even that might cost more votes than it
would gain. Prosperity, expansion and
sound money, are winning combination.

The HatlesS Fad.

1t is only occasionally that a fad is worth
following. but the hatless fad, induced by
a comfort seeking tendency and Endorsed
by common sense, is growing in favor
until even the eIstwhile budding sunbon-
net is threatened by a survival of The fit
test. Girls, young and old, are going
everywhere bareheaded this summer.
The mountain girl, the seashore girl, the
city girl at home and the country girl
(who really set the style, but doesn't get
the credlt), will be seen roaming at will
without hats, just as they have been doing
without gloves for year or two.
The advantages the bareheaded girl de-
rives are two iold. In the first place it is
the richest kind of refreshment to get
into the open breezes without a hat or
bonnet and let the wind play havoc with
the hair and cool the hot and tired brain.
1t is quite the reverse of an effort to
make an after-supper call when the hat
can be left at home, and there is delicious
freedom in not having to bother with any
more accessories to dress than are neces-
sary this hot weather. But the greater
advantage Everybody but the milliner
Will agree) is the economy of the fad.
Think OF saving the expense OF two or
three hats in a season. Economy. gener-
ally considered, is at variance with luxury,
but to the hatless CIR they walk hand in
hand; one is suited to the other and fash
ion attends them both.
As long as hot weather lasts this bles-
sing is promised to women wherever in
clination leads them they can wander
without being stared at for their immod-
esty, because hands and heads are I'M
dressed. Ii ever there was need OF eman-
cipation for women it is in these days
when we stand in the pillory of fash
ion, at the sacrifice of health and ease.
