Mr.. BPYAN'S DILEMMA

Ever since the Kansas CITY Convention de-
clared that all territory belonging 10 the United
States was by the self-eXtending power of the
Constitution subjected to the rules of govern
ment prescribed in that instrument. and that
The action Of the Republican Administration In
selling UP a distinct and peculiar government
suited TO local needs in Porto Rico uncon-
siitutional. Republicans have been asking Mr..
Bryan TO reconcile that doctrine with his pro
pCsal 10 set up a stable government in the
Philippines over which the Constitution of the
United States will not operate. but which the
Government of the United States will protect,
defend and be responsible for. In the last two
months Mr.. Bryan has made many speeches, but
he has never thrown light on that subject. He
is glib with phrases about the Constitution. He
can cleverly dodge around a corner from
troublesome question like that Of the govern
ment OF negroes without the consent Of the
governed in North Carolina. he has all the
tricks Of the smart debater at his tongues
end. But he viii not squarely and manfully
face the fundamental questions raised by him
self ard his party.
We are glad to notice that few days ago at
indianapolis Mr.. Seth Low took occasion to
dissect Mr.. Bryan's shallow reasoning about a
protectorate for the Philippines, such as he as
Low showed that the so-called protectorate of
the Southern republics is no protectorate at all
and then he drove home TO the Democrats their
utter Inconsistency. According TO their point OF
view, there was not a shadow of authority to
establish n protectOrate conferred by the Con
stitution, and If the Government had no powers
independent of the Constitution II was helpless:
to carry out Mr.. Bryan's programme The
Democrats themselves said that Porto Rico and
of course, the Philippines, which are in exactly
the same status with respect TO the Constitu
lion, were already an integral part Of the Union
and, If so, there was clearly no constitutions
authority fer alternating any territory once in
corporated into the Union and to set up an indie
pendent government there would clearly volat
the Constitution. Mr. Lows conclusion was
Don't you see that on the Democratic line Of
strict Interpretation of the Constitution wha
Mr.. Bryan proposes to do cannot be done and
he s elected and tries 10 do II he has got to tax

A GLOOMY CALCULATION.

If one Of the young men employed by the Re
publican County Committee should fit to
beguile his leisure moments by computing the
number of jumps in which jack rabbit could
cross the Desert of Sahara he would not neces-
sarily subject himself to castigation or
proach But if the result of his figuring should
be officially distributed as an important con-
tributiOn to the literature Of the campaign the
opinion would probably prevail that the postal
revenues were being injudiciously fructifed by
the committee. With all due respect for the
gentlemen in charge at county headquarters
and possibly in ignorance Of the precise cir
cumstances. we venture TO suggest that the
recent tabulation of Mr. Croker's absences from
the city of New-York during the last six years
does not supply an unanswerable argument in
support Of the Republican ticket
When David B. Hill INDUCES in acid allu-
sions to Richard Croker's frequent and pro-
tracted visits TO England his purpose is plain,
and the fact that this method Of attack has
not as yet produced brilliant results does not
prove that it was not worth trying But we
fail to see why Republicans or other opponents
of Tammany Hall should lament Mr. Crokers
growing desire TO live abroad as much as posi-
Bile. On the contrary, we should say that the

The consentng voice which signifies that the
Naval Arch must go takes on the emphasis Of
rams horns. The arch has grown dirty and IS
particularly shabby about the feet, so proudly
planted only few moons ago. The prospect of its
reproduction in more solid form somewhere else
does not improve with the wasting away Of the
glories of the original. The idea may be given
up, and the glittering and grandiose structure
of triumph subsist only in memory, photographs
and designs 1t was 8 thing Of beauty and might
have been a Joy forever If the subscriptions had
come in a little more literally. It's coming and
going will point the melancholy moral that the
brightest trophies of triumph In this hurrying
age are spun of the texture Of clouds and
vanish in the beam that gids them. The Dewey

simply a matter of taste and choice
with the wearer as to which side shall
be worn in or out. The little jackets of
the same material are double breasted
and sometimes show smart gilt or sill
yer livery buttons. They have reveres
of the plaid, and are often blessed with
buttoned pockets ample enough to hold
cumulate about women in wet weather.
A boutonntere of violets or a red carna-
ton on the revere adds a pretty, defiant
touch and distinct charm to the en-
semble of this triggest of girls-the
rainy day girl.
And now two words as to her boots
and umbrella. She never makes the
mistake of selecting an umbrella with
an ornate or cumbersome handle, but
gets one that is simple, transformations
and easily grasped in the hand. Some :
times she launches into color and has
the frame covered with cardinal, violet
or Yale blue, to sound bright note
through the darkness of the weather.
With stout pigskin cork-soled boots she
may venture without goloshes, which
remain the one hideous and clumsy adj
junct to the wet weather toilet.

A Rainy Day Girl.
LaureIs belong to the woman who
manages to look spruce and Jaunty on
a rainy day She has merited triumph
over the rest of her sex and gains a
new place in that doubtful territory for
which the whole of fenininity strives
the heart of man.
The rainy day girl has entirely dis
carded rubber coats and mackintOSheS.
She has found that they do not serve to
keep her trim and dry, for they have a
nasty way of shedding the water at the
rim of their capeS and skirts and letting
it drip on the instep, getting her boots
all soggy and moist about the ankle,
besides which they are awkward and
unmanageable. She wears now one of
the new patent reversible skirts of
Scotch plaid. with a little dOuble-breaSt-
ed jacket, which leaves her ans free to
struggle with her umbrella Her skirt
reaches to the top of her boots and is
waterproof; just heavy enough to keep
the slightest moisture from permeating,
and yet light enough to give her free
and unhampered action.

How strange? No, not at all. This big

skirt is plain on one side and plaid or
