Straws

"StrawS show which way the
wind blows" is an old and true
saying. We have, within a cIrcum-
scribed circle, it is true, made
diligent inquiry, and we have failed
to find but one man of our section,
or III other sections we have visited
who does not sympathiza with the
Beers in their struggle for freedom
against the invasion of the British.
We believe that if caucus of the
entire country could be taken that
All overwhelming majority of the
people would express themselves on

Of the United States once passed

The Citizens MEETING.

As will be seen from an announce

purpose of nominating a ticket for
the Town Council for the next year.
There is a pretty general desire, we
believe. to select the best men for

NATIONAL CAPITAL.
SENATOR TILLMAN AGAIN APPEARS
WITH HIS PIT chFORk. :

rhe DAILY Clark Quarrel Arranging for
Centennial Celebration For University
at Washington Senator Depew Speaks
on Expansion.
The strong minded women who have
been here all winter urging their suf-
frage hobby upon the attention OF Con-
gress are now up in arms against Or.
Lyman Abbott, who has been about
considerable lately speaking against
woman'S suffrage. They boldly say
that he might be in better business
than standing up to oppose the rights
of any individual, no matter what his
inward opinion may be Well-inform-
ed women at the Capital are very much
afraid that the new athletic wave for
women and girls that is sweeping over
the world is destroying a good deal
of the feminine in women. A short
skirt. rough boots, wool gloves, hat
cooked over the eye and a pendulum
gait are all harmless, and, moreover,
exceedingly comfortable, IL with these
authorized irregularities Of dress there
comes an unauthorized f1ippancy and
coarseness of manner which will cut
man the clothes, the new athletic wave
for women is a bad thing for the fair
sex.
Another deplorable fad in an entire
ly different direction is the woman's
society pin. Nowadays those women
who indulge in clubs and societies are
stuck up with pins to the verge of Pa
ganism. Really, there seems to be no
room on the female breast now for
another pin. Fancy any man, other
than bicycle rider, covering himself
all over with club pins. Any society
emblem is superfiuous as an adorn-
ment, and women in this respect are
not moving onward and upward to the
angel stage, but retrogressing to mon
keyhood.
Mr. pepcw's Speech.
Mr.. Depew's speech on the Philip
pine question drew a large crowd to
the Capitol. He declared emphatically
not only for control of the islands, but
asserted it as an unquestioned right of
the government. He said: by cap
turing Porto Rico we closed the har-
bors where fleets of Spain could go
outside of Cuba and cut off her sources
of supply. BY threatening with fly
ing squadron the coasts of Spain we
kept troops within her home fortifica-
tons and ships within her own har-
bors. The wisest of the many wise or
ders issued during the war was that to

MIR. Bryan and the WorkInqman
