NOTE AND COMMENT.

Queen Victoria, with her retnue, has
left Ireland. The dispatches 10 not
mention that she breathed sigh OF re-
lief when he. felt shoes touched the
shores OF the Emerald Isle for the last
time, but is probably a fact. nevertheless.
Mark Hanna declined to be delegate
to the republican national convention
from Ohio, but his "slate" went through
He will simply manipulate the throttle
lever and turn on or shut off steam at
will in the manipulation Of his great ma :
chine.
Gen. James Ashton says The republican
delegates of this state to the national
convention favor Judge Bartlett Trip OF
North Dakota for the vice.presidency.
The Judge needn't make any great prep
arations for a trip to Washington in
March next, even il he does Sc 'ure the
nomination.
At the great democratic national con-
vention which will be held in Kansas
City on July 4, it will be shown that even
the nails used in the construction OF that
vast hall, which is to hold the disciples
OF Jackson and Jefferson, were paid for
at an advance Of over 30 per cent. on the
quotations of year ago, and that the
price of nails, under republican-trust adj
ministration, has risen from 81 20 to
500 per key. 1t will be sad and eff
fective commentary on the present policy
OF government.
The lower house OF congress has over.
whelmingly passed the bill for the amend
ment OF the constitution for the election
of senators by direct vote OF the people.
The recent dsgraceful public exposure
of the corruptive methods used in Mon
tana, and the knowledge that similar
tactics have prevailed in other states,
should be sufficient to force the U. S.
senate to consent to privilege for which
the people in general have long been
asking. In such an event the sack"
while it might still be effective, would
haye greater difficulty in attaining its
end.
The influx OF Japs has caused feeling
of unrest on the Pacific slope, and not.
withstanding Japanese immigration has
caused that government to announce
restrictive measures, the little brown
men continue to pour in to an alarming
degree. The open door policy of the re-
publican party seems to work on pivot.
A dispatch of April 26 states that 400
Jsps arrived on the coast that day, and
100 more will be here this week Re-
publican papers depict Uncle Sam with
a benign smile on his face and friendly
hand extended to foreign nations, but
the afflicted sections of this country are
beginning to grimace frightfuly.
A celestial diplomat in commenting on
the American women and especially the
evening costume said "Yes, suppose
you do consider it beautiful In this, as
in all matters of taste, one must follow
the customs. But the long skirts that
train along the street-what is the
reason for that? 1t drags in the dirt, is
inconvenient or takes the constant use OF
one hand to hold it up. The corset is
harmful if it cramps the body and i'm.
pedes the free circulation Of the blood.
To me a woman is beautiful when she
dresses to her natural figure. If she is
fat let her dress becomingly and to her
natural figure and not try to appear thin.
If she is thin there is no use in putting
on more than nature has given her in
order that she may appear pretty. She
is pretty when she is her natural self if
she is pretty at all. II you ask me what
improvement could be made in the even
ing dress should say use less cloth at
