Notwithstanding General Fitzhugh Lees
| recent declaration that he will not be a
candidate for the senate it is thought
his friends may induce him to make the
race. He and Senator Martin, the incum-
bent. were rival candidates six years
ago.
James S. Clarksnn. formerly of Iowa,
but now resident of Philadelphia, will
probably be a candidate for secretary of
the senate He is understood to have
strong backing. He was at one time
chairman of the national republican COM
mittee, succeeding Quay in that place.
James Mason Hoppin. for 20 years pro-
fessor of the history Of art in Yale uni
versity has resigned. to take effect at the
close of the college year. Professor Hop

study art under Gerome in Paris. He
went through the Turkoman campaign in
1867 and in 1874 visited India to gather
materials for his. wonderful pictures. In
the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 he found
splendid opportunity for developing his
talent. The fruits of his travels in Sy-
ria and Palestine were his well-known Sc
ries of pictures of the life of Christ.

GOOD STYLE.
1t Is Largely the Result of Perfect Pbysi-
cal Poise,

cal Poise.
That indefinable quality we call style
is. in measure, born with woman,
although a very fair imitation of it can
be secured by care and patience. 1t is
not what you wear but how you wear
it, and that fact can not fail to impress
itself upon you if you will observe with
care each woman you meet. You will
get, in time, to be able to pick out just
the point in which each excels.
One of the best dressed, and conse-
quently most stylish women in Phila-
delphia has reached that position in
four years. l distinctly remember my
first sight of her-plain of face, but
handsome in figure, and dressed in a
neat. up-to-date manner. Nothing
alarming about that, you see, because
there were hundreds Of women Just as
well off. Bit by bit she developed until
observers began to talk of the change,
and to-day she has no equal. She be-
longs to the world of busy women who
earn every dollar they spend. and not
to the leisure class, so the change Is
more remarkable. How she accom-
plished this remains secret, which she
carefully guards. But this l can say,
more than one-half of the responsibility
belongs to the carriage of her body.
She must sit up nights to attain that
perfect command over her muscles
which looks as if it were natures gift.
The woman who keeps her shoulders
well back has no wrinkles in her bodice.
If she poises the upper part of the body
easily and lightly on the hips she keeps
her waist line well defined and allows
the front breadths of her skirt to hang
in graceful folds. Squirming about in
ones best gown will ruin it's effect, so
the stylish woman cultivates repose.
When she walks she holds her chin well
in and her head slightly back, allowing
the shoulders and abdomen to assume
their natural and proper positions. I
don't know that ever said this before,
but if / did, no matter for it is true.
There is no need of a woman webbing
through the latter part of her life with
a protruding front that Is destruction to
the hang of her gowns. 1t is purely a
question of poise and a proper one is
just as easy to maintain when once it
has been found. That is my objection
to the uncorseted figure-so few women
will take the trouble to avoid a general
slumping in the figure. Women of the
stage, who regard their forms as part
of their stock in trade, avoid this and
are joy to the eye, particularly when
some artistic eye Grapes the cloth of
their dresses with special reference to
natural lines.

ditions, but they will not vote to give
this corporation everything it asks, re-
CARELESS of the rights of the citizens.
Wine suppers should not be necessary
to obtain that which is right.
The Miner declared that the principal
issue of the campaign is the corporation
issue. Very well. The principal corpor-
alton with which the council has to do
is the street railroad corporation. 1t
asks favors of every council and dill
gently seeks in both parties to get al
dermen nominated who will stand by it
on every proposition. Next to the street
railroad corporation, the water compa-
ny is the corporate power which has
most favors to ask. The Anaconda
company never has anything to ask at
the hands of the city. The corporate
powers which need watching are the
street railroad company and the water
company. Let aldermen be elected who
will represent the people and not these
corporate powers.

as the ore hauling franchise is

That is good news and it is to he
hoped that the street railroad company
will not change its mind. But for the
general condemnation by the people Of
hhe ore hauling franchise, it would have
passed last fall. There has been great
fear that the request would be renewed
and similar ordinance pass the coun-
ell. 1t is welcome news that the cor
poration has no present intention of re-
newing the request, but who can tell
what unreasonable requests it may
make in the future?
The safe thing to do is to elect men
for aldermen who will grant reasonable

bought it all. On Sept. 2s the price was
$1.25 "Old Hutch advised the shorts
to settle at that price. A few of them
did, but the majority held off. The
next day wheat was at s1.5O; and the
day following, being Sept. 80, or settling
day. it rose to s2.05. AT the latter figure
the big operators were compelled to

who made enormous sums of money out
of his corner Subsequently, however.
he lost his mental balance and became
an easy prey ITO the spectators. He
lost in the pit all that he had made
there, and more too. Five years ago
he drifted to New York city, where he
embarked in trade as a secondhand
dealer. He soon failed, however, and
returned to Chicago, where he haunted
the scenes of his one great triumph
and his many miserable failures,
harmless, penniless old man.

Shiny on Your Own Side.

sC ONE people are wondering
~ why a convention which could
so cordially indorse Mayor
Harrngtons administration couldn't
give Mayor Harrington a single vote
for denomination"
That is from the Butte Miner of yes
terday. Mayor Harrington did not re-
ceive any votes in the democratic con-
vention for the reason that his name
was not presented as a candidate for
denomination at the hands of the con-
vention. So far as the Standard is
aware Mayor Harrington was not de-
sirous of a denomination and he Ger
tainly did not ask for it.
But what business is it of the Min
er's? The affairs of the democratic
party are of no concern ITO the Miner
and it would confer favor by not in
terfering with things which are purely
of interest to the democratic party. The
Miner is a full-fedged republican. IT
has placed the regular republican ticket
in its columns. After years of knitting
democratic candidates it opposed the en-
tire democratic ticket last fall and il is
supporting the republican ticket again
this spring. 1t is republican and it's
interference in democratic affairs is not
wanted.
BY a unanimous vote of the demo-
Gratis of Butte in convention assembled
Mr.. Clark and his bribery methods were
denounced and the action of the Silver
Bow members of the legislature was
Endorsed. Unless the Miner can SUBJ
scribe to the principles enuncated in
that platform it has no business with
the affairs of democrats. Skinny on
your own side!

~ MALLPOx is still RAMPANT in til

q MALLPOX is still rampant in the
~ South. North Carolina is the
latest state to report the cpl
demic within its borders. The advent
of the disease was at first mild and lit
tile attention was paid to it, but within
a week past it has spread rapidly and
appeared in twenty different counties.
The assistance of the state board of
health has been called in and an effort
will be made by compulsory vaccination
to stay the epidemic. The smallpox has
been unusually prevalent in the South
ern states during this year. Georgia has
had 300 cases, Kentucky 157 in Louisville
alone, Texas ACT cases, Virginia 800 cases
and the full number in North Carolina
is not known. The Northern states af-
flicted the most are Nebraska with PIG
cases and Ohio with 294 cases. In near
ly every instance the spread of the dis
ease is due to a neglect of vaccination.
An unusual number of southern whites
have fallen victims to it on account of
the many employed in the mills, which
have acted as points Of dissemination.

Is still possibility that

~ HERE Is still possibility that
the Montana regiment of volun-
teers may return this spring.
According to one report all the volun-
teers will be freed from service
the moment the war with Spain is
officially ended, and that announce
ment must follow the signing of the
treaty of peace by the queen regent.
Some of the volunteers are needed in the
Philippines, for the regulars there are
not numerous enough to continue the
fight against the insurgents. However,
there is little danger of trouble arising
from the ending of the volunteer service.
All may be in a hurry to leave for
home, but the great body of the volun-
teers in the Philippines no doubt will
be patriotic enough to hold on until their
country has no further need for their
services. There will be no lack of men
to fight the Filipinos, even after peace is
formally declared. Besides, it will take
a week or two to conclude the exchange
of notifications, and then the president
can be slow in issuing the proclama-
ton of peace. BY that time the regulars
on the way to Manila will have reached
their destination, and the prospect is
that the fighting will be about over.

ENTION was made in these COL
M umns yesterday of the treat
! ment received by the three
democratic members of the Delaware
legislature who voted for Addicks, the
republican. Later reports show that
their condemnatio is even severer and
more general than anybody anticipated.
They are ostracized by their neighbors,
put out of office by their fellow demo-
Gratis and refused credit and trust by
business men. The five republicans who
voted for w. A. Clark in 1893, and the
eleven republicans who voted for the
same notorious boodler last January,
are experiencing the same obloquy. 1t
is natural, logical sequence to their
treachery. "A superficial view" says
the Philadelphia Press, would call it
bulldozing and an attempt to brighten
man from exercising the right of in
dividual opinion. 1t is nothing of the
kind. 1t is the punishment public opin-
ion gives for betraying confidence. Free
government is carried on by the help
Of parties and unless parties can have
confidence in the men they elect to office
all political organizations must fall to
pieces. Every democratic member of
the Delaware legislature was elected
with the understanding that he was an
anti-Addicks man and that vote for
Addicks would be a betrayal of the trust
repOsed in him. The sweeping con-
lenOatjO of the three trpacheroIIs
democrats is a punishment not for ex-
ercising individual opinion but for be-
traying confidence"

Long-Heafled Emperor.
From the Omaha World Herald.


Emperor William may be supreme ego

keen enough to take advantage of a very
interesting situation. Older and wiser
heads have failed to act with as much
speed and wisdom William has evil
denced in the Philippine matter.

From the Savannah, Ga. News.
The extravaganza of congress IS appar-

tent to this extravaganza, the interest
bearing public debt has increased in the
last six years FROM s5s5,O0O 900 to 81. O26. 0OO-
600. Very few congressman ever think of
economy in public expenditures. Their
idea seems to be that as the government

Effect of Senatorial DcadIocks,

From the Richmond, Va, Times
We believe the amendment of the con-
stitution to permit the election of senator's
by direct vote of the people is on its way
to place in that instrument The people
have seen so many miscarriages in the
choice of senators that they are weary of
a system which can bring about such OBJ
noXious results. Nothing has tended more
to accentuate popular inquest in this mat
ter than the legislative deadlocks that
have been recently seen all over the I'M
ion.

Poor Prospects in Business Life.

from the Boston Traveller.
The competitive principle is rapidly be-
coming eliminated from all business en-
terprises by the mad rush of greedy mo-
nopolists to swallow up in a trust every
kind of business. The chances of success
of young men starting in life to-day are
handicapped at the outset, They can only
become subservient employees of these
merciless corporations. The young life
of the nation is fast becoming blighted
and paralyZed.

TTHE present year has started out
with an exceptionally bad fire
record. January fire losses
throughout the country were very large,
but large as they were February broke
all records in the matter of losses, which
reached the enormous total in the Unit
ed States of s1s,40O, 900. New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago were the
heaviest sufferers from the fire of Feb
ruary, and the underwriters who con-
sidered last year bad one are very
much exercised over the outlook for the
present year especially as it is given out
that the exceptionally great destruction
by fire in February will settle the aues-
ton of the underwriting profit for the
entire wear
