No Apathy Here.
this fall.


There has been much talk OF apathy in
the present campaign. and on the al
legged existence Of that apathy the DEM
ocrats throughout the country have been
banking high hopes The showing OF the
registration books OF this city Is one of
the things which shows how faliacious the
hopes built on this foundation are. The
registered vote of the city Of Seattle will
be at least so per cent. in excess of the
vote cast In the city election last spring.
after one of the most exciting municipal
campaigns which the city has ever seen.
II will be about 1000 in excess of the en-
tire vote cast in King county In the coun-
ty and congressional election OF two years
ago.
This does not look like apathy among
the voters. or any inclination on their
part of lack OF earnest interest In
the campaign. 1t is true there Is de-
cided difference In the manner OF mani
Testing that interest as compared with
four years ago; but the Republican party
has reason to congratulate itself upon the
change. Then the streets were thronged
with idle men. shabby OF dress and hope
less in spirit on every street corner was
a free silver agitator. pouring into the
the plea that their poverty and distress
was due to the decentralization of silver,
and that the only way in which they
could expect TO better their condition was
to elect Bryan.
Today there is an entire absence OF
street corner agitators. Both they and
their auditors have something better to
do than to discuss politics. They are
more interested in the silver dollars which
line their pockets as the result of album
dant and well paid labor than they are
in any abstract questions OF finance. Tho
streets are stiii thronged. but by persons
buslly engaged In asocations which are
bringing them money. and they have little
time for street corner politics.
But busy as they are. they are taking
sufficient time away from their work to
get their names on the register. so that
they can vote this fall. when election
day comes they will be out in force. and
Il is safe to say that In overwhelming
majority their votes viii he recorded for
continuance Of the policies which have
brought them good times, and against
return TO the conditions which prevailed
four years ago.
This Ia the kind Of apathy which is ex-
isting In Seattle; and it is safe to say
that conditions in that respect are du-
plica;ed in she other parts OF the coun-
try from which the cry OK apathy Is
coming.

has no more connection with the Repuo-
iican party than has the Midland Railroad
Company of Great Britain.
What could the election Of Mr.. Bryan
do TO suppress the Standard oil TrustF
he says that he would repeal all tariff
trusts. But the Standard OIL people would
laugh at that. They have no protection
and need none. Petroleum. both crude
and refined is on the free list. The STAN
dard OIL is corporation organized under
state laws and amenable only to state
control. A constitutional amendment to
give congress jurisdiction was beaten last
spring by the solid Democratic vote.
Therefore the standard oil is as safe from
legal molestation. unless the authorities
OF the state having jurisdiction should
move against IT, as II II were operating
in Germany
These are the facts. known to the Re-
view and to all men who have looked into
the subject OF trusts. The implication
which the Review seeks to convey. an
implication common to Bryan and his fol-
lowers everywhere, is made with prejudice
and intent to deceive.

RRYIN AGAIN IN NEW YORK,

William Jennings Bryan is again in New York, and his visit is going to be a very interesting one to himself and to all who are trying to keep track of him. Last evening he ate dinner with O. H. P. Belmont and several other distinguished Democrats, and this evening he is to "unofficially" eat at the Democratic club as the guest of its president, the Hon. John w. Keller, unless the re- markable protest which has been made prevents such eating.
 Brother Bryan's heart etill seems to be true to 16 to l. To an inquiry as to whether he intended to discuss only trusts and imperialism while in the East, to the exclusion of silver, MT. Bryan said that he would discuss all three of them, whether he was in the East or in the West. And when a re- porter asked him if there was any truth in the statement that he was gradually abandoning the silver issue he answer ed: T am tired of denying those sto- ries. I will keep right on in the same line I have followed all along I ad- here to my belief in the Chicago plat form; but, of course, I don't object to throwing in some more issues for good measure"
 It is to be hoped that Brother Bryan will find time and have an inclination to visit Connecticut while he Is in the East. He is not as popular here as he was, but there are still many here who think he is great man and great Democrat.

INKLESS PRINTING.

l As these are the days of smokeless powder, wireless telegraphy, horseess carriages, soulless corporations and boneless codfsh, it is perhaps not sur
 prising that inkless printing is in sight.
 A process has been devised in England
 by which printing is done without ink,
 by means of electricity-which acts from
 the face of the types upon damp paper
 containing certain chemical which the electricity decomposes The print
 obtained by this process resembles In clearness a copper plate or litho-en- gravlng, and is obtained in a more sirn- pie manner than by letter-press print
 ing, The ordinary printers type forms,
 stereotypes or electrotypes, constitute
 in themselves suitable printing sur-
 face, and may be used in a similar way, merely coming in contact with the damp paper to form the print. The chemical additions to the paper which make it susceptible to the electric cur rent are to be added to the pulp, and are said to be so cheap as to make no appreciable addition to the cost of the paper. The paper does not depreciate by keeping in stock, and can be SUD- piled either in reams or rolls. It is claimed that all printing presses now in use can be adapted, at slight ex- pense, for electrical inkless printing. The only changes will be to leave off the rollers and all of the movable parts of the hiking apparatus, fit sheet of fine rolled zinc around the cylinder as conductor, connect the negative and positive poles from the electrical sup ply on the press, and it is ready to print. The same motor that runs the press will supply the current for print ing.

GOOD ROADS RY BAD MEN.

The bad men for good roads" idea Is
 Carolina, where an average of eighty
 prisoners has been employed in road making for the past two years. Last year thirty-one miles of road radiating from the city were remade, graded, ditched, laid with sand on clay or clay on sand, and converted into smooth and satisfactory highways, capable with timely and systematic care of indefinite maintenance in good condition. During the preceding year fully ten miles had been remade, so that now there are over forty miles of these permanent roads leading out of Columbia. With the levy asked for the mileage can be doubled this year, the work on each road being taken up at its present terminus, from five to seven miles from the city, and carried an equal distance beyond By following this plan every main road in the county can be remade in from three to four years more. Columbia is now far more accessible by highway than it has ever been,'' comments the State of that city, "a fact daily evidenced by the number of wagons and carts coming to and going from the city. the traffic on certain roads at certain hours assuming r,ronortious"

Sketched here is a shopping gown worn by an exquisite in dress matters. Such do not consider that it is all right to shop in any old thing, as the details of this dress will show. Its goods was violet Italian cloth, the banding of the skirt being black Persian lamb, a nar- row stitched panel of white cloth pass ing over the front. Yoke and collar were heavy cream lace over white cloth, bretelles and revers matching, the latter fur edged. Below the yoke was a panel of the cloth. The belt was heliotrope pannel velvet. With some cheapening substitutes for it's fur, most women would welcome this dress for other use than for shopping, but shopper in such a rig will have little difficulty in holding the attention of salesfolk.
 Black gros-grain in lustreless, heavy quality is reappearing in swagger boxy, straight-front coats worn over black cloth skirts. One of these jack cts had steel buttons. The sleeves were comfortably wide coat shape, and the shoulders were padded square the way men have their coats. This garment was buttoned over a daintily yoked bodice. It was very tasteful for mati- nee wear, and hat of stitched silk and crushed fur went well with it.

JOINERS

The people of this country are great "joiners." For instance, there are no less than two hundred fraternal insur- ance societies in the United States, with 100000 members. It is interest," ing and impressive to notice what some of the big societies have done and are doing. Here are the latest facts con- corning ten of them:
 Modern Woodmen of America; found- ed In 1883; members, 427,766; benefits disbursed since organization, $14, ,S33, ,6S5; benefits disbursed last year, $3, ,263, 050.

FASHION NOTES.
Gros Grain in New Use.

It was a discerning shopper who ask ed at the wash goods counter: Have you any of those glossy linens you sold last year? The dress I bought last spring. she added, washed beautiful ly, and I want some more.'' Many other women must have asked the same thing, for the clerk knew just where to turn. They will be all the rage this summer" he assured her, and you see there are new colors. This coral pink is already on its last piece and the pastel green will soon be out. The pastel green is going into a good many of the cotton and linen fabrics, but this glossy linen takes it beautifully" She bought three gowns, and then. went to the hamburg counter to by trimming, bands of insertion for the blue and the pink, and an all-over to cover bodice and hips of the green.
