Tmperial Preropatives.

BY signing his name to the Porto
Rican bill, President Mckinley confers
upon himself imperial attributes in that
islard. BY the terms of the act passed
by his political associates in the Senate
and House, the authority which he may
exercise over the Porto Ricans is little
less absolute than that exercised by the
Negus of Abyssinia or the Gar of Rus
sia. He is authorized to govern the
Porto Ricans without their consent,
and to tax them without their having
any voice in the matter. The governor
and the governing council, every one of
whom he is empowered to appoint or
remove at viii, makes them merely the
instruments of the executives inn

Something decidedly new in skirts was
put in the last of these three gowns.
Here was a lightweight, smooth blue
cloth starting in deep yoke of shocking.
Below the shocking there was very lit
tie fullness, for the skirt was set on so
cleverly that the seam was hardly dis
coverable. The result was that the re-
quired fullness was given about the hips,
yet the skirt below was not bunehy. No
wonder the Jacket was cut up the side
to show that wonderful yoke. Lining of
black taffeta showed all about the edge
Of the jacket, and cutting of the cloth
showed the taffeta in shaped band about
the shoulders Collar and yoke of hgur-
ed white silk were part OF the jacket.

cess under gown was sheathed from well
below the hips to half way up the back.
Here the edge Of the short bolero met it.
The under gown was double breasted, fiat

was gray cloth. gray silk lining turning

Degeueracy of the Republican Party.

Degeueracy of the Republican Party.
Once the Republican party stood for
great principles, once it had a message
for humanity, once its leaders were
men of conviction. once it believed in
the declaration of independence; but
the finger of the corporation has erased
every great motto from its banners.
and to-day the great party Of Lincoln
sits meekly in the market place and
takes i2s instructions from the trust
magnates of America.
Once it had conscience, now only
hunger; once it loved liberty, now it
worships the dollar; once it stood for
humanity. now only for plumber. Time
changes, men degenerate and parties
rot Cant is at premium and nypoc-
risy passes for coin. The creed of
King George has become the platform
of Mckinley and Mark Hanna's dollar
sign brooches has. become the flag of
the Republican party. Hon. j. 2. Alt
