NEW YORK, August o. 1900
This is the season of the year when every
woman becomes a law unto herself In the
affairs Of the toilet and the power that at
other times dictates the very set of ones
necktie and height of ones heels is set at
naught or defied or forgotten.
What every daughter Of Eve struggles to
attain is comfort, let the sacrifice to looks
be what 1t will. OF course, where comfort
and beauty go hand in hand. content su-
preme holds reign, and sometimes these ele-
ments do combine to charming effect. For
instance, the gofing girls have got 1t into
their aspiring little heads that there Is
nothing like exercise "in the morning, oh,
SO early!" when the abr is cool and the
grass wet and the prospect Of sunrise and
a sharp breakfast appetite quite glorious.

Story of a Swindle.

A Vermont man, whose home is near
Bla'tleocro, but whose name is TO. dis

whittier he went to see the tr lleys, etc., a
W ser and a poorer individual than when
he w9nt. As he knew no one there he
made trierds with a baldhesde1 gentle
man whom he met in the Cate Roland.
The bal HEADED man was not of the city
government, but he claimed great irflu-
ence. The two were walking one dav
through Central Park when the baldheaded
man looked up at the statue Of Daniel
Webster and remark d, that there was q
chance tor public spirited man to do his
to wn great service. He said that it was
ia secret, but the city was G ling to replace
It1at statue by one more modern and that
heautho tiles would sell it tor the price o.

{ We monters stood toward Webster, who
{ replied,, "We revere him."
4 After this nothing more was said. The
next evening the two met in the cate again
when the baldhead, d man said that he had
been speaking to Mayor Van Wyck about
the statue, and th.t if the Vermonters
wanted it they could have it dirt cheap
Hereupen tie Vermonter asked the price,
sna in reply the baldhead-d man said ::
Two thousand, fve hui d led dollars. :"
The idea had by this time taken firm pos

the evening was over he had given his bald
head acquaintance $3.50 on account, and
he held Zip OF paper ON which was writ
ten an agrt EN- mt to let him take the statue
back to his native village on payment of
the balance.
The agreement purported to be between
the Vermonter and the may or, and to bind
it, all that was required was the mayors

Get Down to Business.

II would be truer patriotism and bet
ter politics If the gentlemen who are
firing distractions about the Philippine
question into the air at Washington
were to devote themselves to practi-
cal study of the system of government
to be put into operation in those islands
as soon as order is restored. 1t ought to
be plain to the meanest intellect that
gression" campaign has gone glmmer-
ing. The people will have none of it.
Democrats repudiate 1t. Populists gag
at it. All over the country men who
oppose the administration and the Re-
publican party but who do not choose to
live in graveyards are outspoken
against it. Even Gov. Rogers sees the
handwriting on the wall, and declares
that there is no other question to be
considered than the form of government
that shall be put into effect in the Phil
ippines after order has been restored.
The revolt OF the loyal sentiment of the
country against anti-Republican policy
is overwhelming and complete.
What we should be busted with is the
adjustment of an internal scheme of
government; a practical working plan
for the Philippines. There is plenty OF
time within which to determine what We
are going to do with the child after he
has grown up. The first duty is to pro-
vide for his safety, education and gen.
eraI welfare. A scheme for this is be-

Sibley's Defiance.

All over the country old-line DEM
ocrats have been nursing their wrath
and INDUCING in sporadic outbreaks
against the asinine policy of the
party. These patient beasts OF burden
have borne much for the sake of name
and tradition. They accepted free sill
yer in 1896. In 1898 they sat still and
heard the administration vilified on
of successful war that opened a new
era in the history of this country. Still
they waited. believing that the approach
of a national campaign would bring san
ity. And now, instead of the presenta-
ton of one item of sound, positive,
forceful policy, they are RECALLED day
after day upon the revival of a four
year-old Barmecide feast. with new
courses of Investigating resolutions
that only throw ridicule upon those who
offer them.
Men who followed Bryan in 1896 are
losing their ability to endure. No in
cident in recent politics is more sgn-
fcant than the open defiance uttered by
Mr.. Sibley on the floor of the house. He
is one of the most prominent figures in
his party. He could have had almost
anything that he wanted four years ago
at it's hands. His immense wealth and
influence were used i'm the cause of
Bryan and free silver. He has been a
prominent candidate for the vice-presi-
dency with Bryan. But he wants no
pinchbeck ornaments: he is tired of
playing with children. This is his dec
laration of principles. made to his party
and the country on the floor of the house

BATTLE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10.
Wisely Decided.

The adoption by the council of the
animous report of its committee on
operations against the application of
E Northern Pacific for concessions to
able it to build a depot and freight
lrehouse near the water front should
tile the question permanently. Both
committee and the council are to be
iiiTended for the wisdom OF their
urse, The details OF the Northern Pa
Hc's proposition were before the peo-
for many weeks Its advantages
Id disadvantages We're canvassed
loroughly. Every opportunity was
ven to the public to inform itself and
give expression to it's conclusions.
lille there was naturally some differ-
Ice Of opinion, the general sentiment
m strongly against the plan submit
d. and 1t was based on weighty and
Aid considerations.
In the process of discussion thought
Al people got rid of the inconsequen-
al arguments that might bias judy
lent They set aside all feeling against
ne Northern Pacific because of any
hing in past history, and also the
empting lure of an immediate expendi-
ire of money in the provision Of facil-
les that our travel needs so sorely.
he determining feature was the plac-
lg ir. single hand Of the commercial
:.stiny of Seattle; the possession by
ne company of what we believe to be
he key of the situation. 1t was i'm
'ossible to believe this either necessary
II safe; and the incidental interference
With the traffic of the water front
strengthened and confirmed the main
objection.
However opinions were divided on
h proposition to build passenger de-
Dot at the foot of Marion street. the OBJ
lections to locating freight yards and
warehouses on the spot selected by the
eompanys plans Were insuperable. The
action of the council committee reflected
his. When 1t was understood that the
of the railroad company
must be treated as whole, an adverse
report followed as matter of course
The ratification by the council says that
neither the city's interest nor the opin-
ion of its people would permit the car
rying out of the plan as proposed.
The demands of Seattle's business will
force the completion of terminal i'm
here by both railway COM
panies at no distant day. They can set
tie any controversies between them with
out the city's help. 1t is right policy to
give no undue advantage to anybody,
and TO hold our commercial facilities
and opportunities forever secure for the
people against all corners. The coun-
Gil has had placed upon II an exceeding
ly onerous responsibility. 1t has done
its duty with a regard for the best in
terests of Seattle that deserves high
credit and entities ii to the thanks OF
our people

there should be two parties: each active.
strong, positive. intelligent. The thing
now called Democracy Is easy enough
to beat; but its existence is an educat-

Manly men will not stand by It. They

liars, thieves, murderers, monarchists,

lie and its liberties. They are satiated,
nauseated, incensed. We have little
doubt that, on test. more Democrats
would follow the Sibley than the Bryan
standard today. We are glad of the
plain words that this man has spoken.

A valuable practical suggestion made
TO the fruit growers is one on which
the Observation-Disclosures has already en-
larged; the need Of more canneries in
the state. 1t is only indirectly capable
of realization by the men who grow
fruit because il cannot be expected that
they will engage also. IN Che business of
thinning 1t for the market Ent thsy
can advertise their need and invite TO
IL the attention of capital. II is alb
surd and wasteful to import canned
fruits into this state when tons upon
tons Of the choicest products rot every
year or are sold for song because
there are no canning establishments to
take care of them. There is no opening
Tor capital more promising, and the
business can be carried on profitably on
? small scale. Every town in the state
