H. A. Wilkes Dead.

Early this morning Mr.. H. A
Wilkes died. He had been a great
sufferer from rheumatism for MANY
years, and was very feeble at the
time his house caught on fire and was
destroyed Thursday morning. 1t is
presumed that the excitement and
perhaps the unavoidable exposure to
the night air at that time hurried on
the fatal attack. He leaves a wife
and two daughters, who have the
sympathies of the entire community
in their sad affiiction.

AMERICANS FIRST.

| Former Congressman johnson, o.
Indiana, who now leaves the Repub
lican party because he cannot bring
himself to support the Hanna Nc
Kinley policy of imperialism and
miIitarism, is but one of many faith
full Americans who place their duty
to their country above their duty tc
their party, says the St. Louis
Republic.
1t is not at all strange that con-
sistent Americans be unable to
follow President Mckinley into
the paths of empire, abandoning an
overthrow republic to the fate OF
all betrayed governments. When
President McKinley's dream of en-
pire first began to develop, following
the Tempt ton created by the results
of the war with Spaln,. it
alarmed and dismayed some of the
soundest thinkers among the Repub-
lican leaders. A very notable group,
comprising such men as ex-Speaker
Reed, of Maine, Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, ex-senator Edmunds,
of Vermont, Congressman Burrows,
of Michigan, and others of equal dis
tinction, opposed the Presidents i'm
perial policy on principle. They
clearly saw the danger to free insti-
tutiOns.
This plain perception of the peril
now confronting the American sys-
tenn extends downward from these
eminent Republicans through the
rank and file of the party. With
the vast majority who see that the
time has come when they may not as
Americans follow their old party
coIors there is no disposition to seek
notOriety by loudly proclaiming their
intention of voting against the plot
tiers for empire. They still love their
party. They hope to see it re-
claimed from the error of its ways.
They pray that it may be brought
back to the true American faith. In
the meantime they will so vote as to
prevent that betrayal of liberty
which is now sought by the men
who have already made the Republi-
can party an unamerican party.
There is something, of a surprise
in store for the arrogant plotters who
count so confidently on the blind
obedience of the rank and file of the
Republican party. The imperialists
have apparently forgotten that many
thousands of these voters are Amer
leans first and Republicans after
wards. 1t is their Americanism
which will be heard from On Noyem-
Der 6 next. And it is in the volume
OF this protest against Empire that
will be found the surprise in store for
the imperialist.

AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE.

AIN OINlNESLAO0ANA A<<AA
The expenditure of a large
sum of the peoples money to
remove the seat of government
and erect a handsome, extensive
and costly Capitol building
which is not needed for the
transaction of the peoples bust
uess-would be a most radical
and grievous departure from
the time-honOred and oft-ap
proved policy of economical
managementof the State S affairs
which has been consistently fol-
lowed by the several Democratic
administrations in Florida from
1876 to the present time.
For twenty-four years Demo
cratic government in Florida has
stood for economy, low taxes
and opposition to every form of
extravaganza The States pub
lie debt has been reduced, the
burden of taxation for State
purposes has year by year been
made lighter and unnecessary
expenditures have been discon-
&inued and disallOwed.
There is now no branch Of the
State government which could
be safely dispensed with, and in
each branch the strictest ecOnO-
my of administration prevails.
No complaint has been heard as
to the manner in which the work
of the several departments is
conducted, and it can not be
claimed that any Of them are in
any way embarrassed in the
proper discharge of their duties
by lack Of Accommodations in the
present State-house.
The present Capitol building
at Tallahassee is sufficient for all
the needs of an economically
administered State government.
A large expenditure for a new
State house will necessitate a
material and unnecessary in
crease in the States bonded
debt. 1t would be an extraVa-
gance, pure and simple viola
ton of the most fundamental
and most important principle
upon which has rested the claims
of Democracy for the confidence
of the people of Florida.
During recent years Florida
has probably enjoyed as much
prosperity, and progressed quite
as rapidly, as any State in the
Union. Some sections Of this
State have been especially ia.
vored, and there business has
doomed. Still, Florida. is pre-
eminently a fruit-groWing and
agricultural State, ana on &C,

and ruinous storms and adverse
agricultural conditions which
have visited this State during

SUMMER GOWNS
PICTURESQUE SHAPES
AND BECOMING STRINGS.
Favored Fabrics and Mercerzed Cotton
and Wooden Voiles-Feminine
and Fixy are the Modes in
Hats.

Summer gowns are now the whole
subject of attention and study, every
day developing new ideas and charn1-
ing notions as to their construction, con-
sistency and adornment. Every day
brings fresh temptations to the shopper
who is doing her utmost to improve the
opportunity that summer brings to look
d~eliciously dainty and sweet: retaining
at the same time the charm of her trig
winter style.
The array of thin gowns varies from
the gossamer mousselines over linn
silk, to the taffeta costumes with Elton
jackets and skirts to match, which are
to be worn in the place of cloth dresses
of similar mode. TIL cotton and linen
dresses, however, occupy the first place
in interest and Investment. Here again
there is a wide range of weight from the
flmiest %organdies, mulls and new mer-
cerized linens, grass linens and piques.

range of colors is somewhat limited. In

thinner materials there are many new
schemes for trimming, but the main ef-
feet Is the use OF great quantities Of en-
~broidered insertions in combination with
the heavier materials, n ace insertions

TAILOR MADE WASH GOWNS.
Tailor made linen and cotton gowns
are among the unique features Of the
summer styles, and are considered very
smart. They are substantial and COM
pact, being heavily stitched, but not stiff
fened by n whale boning or mohair.
Ihey occupy a particular place in the
summer wardrobe n are in pleasing
contrast with the more fixy and decorat-
ed costumes everywhere in evidence.
The wash goods tailor gowns, by COM
paTisOn with other reigning styles, is
very severe as to outline and cut. h
gowns consist almost entirely Of a skirt
and jacket. both of which are firmly and
heavily stitched. The skirts of these
suits return somewhat to the close styles
of last fall, though different In cut. The
seven gored bell skirt. composed of mar
row cores. fits smoothly to the figure,
having many vertical lines Of heavy
stitchings. The Elton and bolero jacket
covered with stitched lines, is the cor
rect jacket for these skirts. One Of our
most reliable and exclusive houses has
displayed white pique skirts with a deep
circular flounce at the bottom Of a duck
ed skirt. The jacket accompanying this
skirt was an Elton Wit a circular stitch
ed collar.
POPULAR LIGHT WOOLENS.
Although this is a great year for wash
fabrics of every sort, with the insatia-
! BILE craze for elaboration which still pos
sesses us and urges us to the use OF
labyrinthine tucks, stockings, insertions,
appliques and pleatings the claim of
light wooden goods or the fashionable
world is not to be disputed. These Voiles
and their kindred canvasses. as we'll az

well merited popularity. There is no ma

The vogue of these ideas is gaining

There is little of the trough rider in the

gone. However, the cavalier style,

seen in the s~oftest, most pliable bamboo
