Jermane, the Minneapolis Journal
Washington correspondent says that a
count of noses was taken in the senate
yesterday afternoon to see if there had
been any change of sentiment during the
past two or three days and it revealed the
fact that thirteen Republican votes are
still ready to be cast against the house
bill. and eight Republicans are uncom-
promisingly for free trade and say they
will not change. Thirteen has a bad look
for the Porto Rican tariff.

THE PRACTICAL SOLUTION.

1t is said that Carl Schurz is holding
forth to his followers that now the fnan-
cial question is settled, it is the duty of
all who are opposed to trusts and i'm
perialism. to oppose the Republicans and
support the Bryan Democracy, which by
its Nebraska platform shows that it has
not dropped one of the dangerous
vagaries to which it was attached in 1896.
And this desertion of Republicanism is
the reward Mr.. Schurz would give to the
party that so faithfully fought and won
the battle for sound money. He says the
question is now settled. Mr.. Bryan. the
boss of Democracy. says it is not. and di-
reefs his party in Nebraska to declare 10
to one of the fundamental creeds of the
party And if the Bryan Democracy
should be successful, the agitation for
CHI cap silver dollars, which has cost the
country so dearly during the past few
years, would be renewed with more or less
vi or, to the detriment of the business in
terests of the country
AS to the matter of imperialism, there
is no imperialism nor any danger of it. 1t
is simply man of straw put up by the
Bryan Democracy to scare voters with if
possible. The same old cry was raised at
the close of the war, and it is brought for
wa I'd now simply because it is thought it
might serve purpose to help out Demo
cracy from the desperate straits into
which it has fallen. No move or act of
the Republican party savors in the least of
so-called Imperialism.
And what does Mr.. Schurz see in the
position of Democracy toward trusts that
is in the least re-assuring. The whole
attitude of Democracy toward trusts has
been that of unreasoning antagonism
against aggregated capital. 1t has de-

themselves to roses, although this flower is
more used than any, both in its natural

rette, and in almost any one CT the pastel
t.nts and low-toned pinks, mauves. lilacs
and violets. when they are considered to
be most suitably employed in trimming the
brims of hats and toques, either laid along
Its upper side or underneath in the form
of half coronets or in a small cluster over
the ear.
There is a pretty large demand for pan-
sies which are produced in fanciful colors
as well as their own varied tints; some new
varieties with their petals prettily gauffred
are in the market. Poppies. which also lend
themselves to fanciful treatment, must be
rcckoned among fashionable flowers and
the list of these Is sure to be prolonged as
the season advances. Orchids, so much th.
vogue at the present date, especially for
trimming fur toQues. will probably go out
