lesser lights of the urban sistcrhood.

from emancipated manhood, while the
tempest of conservative protest is Still
ed. The shirt waist it is, and the shirt
waist it will be more and more here
after. Let the tailor, the shirt-maker
and the outfitter, therefore, take
thought for the morrow, for new
order is at hand and the old has passed.
Our conscience is clear in the matter.
Weeks ago we served notice that I'M
less the innovation was nipped in the
bud it could never be nipped at all.
1T was not nipped. The women foil,
might have met the emergency, but
they didn't. They only smiled and re-
garded it as a comforting proof of mas
culine weakness. And the mischief Is
done. What shall profit the kicks OF
the hotel and transportation people?
The best drawing card for the railway
line next summer will be the announce
ment that the shirt waist man can
ride anywhere he wants to from the
cow-catcher to the rear platform. The
cafe where the masculine shirt waist
is tabooed will, according to contcm-

been done.

press discriminating Americans.
Mr.. Bryan writes like man whose
conviction precedes the utteranCcs. His
expression. therefore is free. flowing.
spontaneous. 1t is delightful to read
his natural. unincumbered and direct
sentences. vigorous and yet melodious.
His elucidation of Imperialism is des-
tined for place in literature.
Mr.. Mckinley writes as one by whom
the conviction is Il thing assumed for
the pen and is no part of the spirit.
His diction, therefore. Is stilted. me-
chanical, labored, making up in phrases
what it lacks in viriity, and his para
graphs show That they have been sub
Jected TO painstaking effort to conceal
the want OF belief.

A GENERALITY AND A GENERAL.

Was not the howl OF delight with
which the Republican press received
Gen. Joe Wheeler's Chicago speech
rather ill-advised? General Wheeler
declared outright for a big standing
army; he declared for Militarism. The
Republicans have pcrsistently assert
ed that they are not aiming at Mill
tnrism. Why. then, this joy at Wheel
er's speech?
Surely there is nothing very remark
nble in this latest declaration Of
Fighting joe" lie is an officer of the
regular army. There are perhaps
hardly dozen officers of the army who
are not in favor of largely increasing
it. Loyalty to their profession would
make any other stand improbable.
1t Is not with Nyheeler's views, there
fore, which are necessarily ex parte.
but with his facts that we are concern
ed. He relterates the hackneyed phrase
that preparedness for war is the best
guarantee of peace. That is a glitter
ing generality which, like most of its
class is subject to exceptions. Is this
generalization true as regards the
United States?
From the point of view of the mill
its history as n nation been in n state
of preparedness for war. Leaving off
the last decade, 1t has had next to no
army. next to no navy. And yet, from
1872 to 1898, q period OF sc years, the
United States had but one foreign war.
Has any one of the military Powers en-
joyed SO long period of peace? Has
Russia, has Germany, has France, has
Austria, has England?
We are not concerned with theory,
but with fact The fact is, that, I'M
prepared for war, we have had peace.
Prepared for war, other nations have
had war and plenty OF 1t. Prepared
ness for war is the best guarantee OF
peace" is European phrase that has
never had any applicability in America
while In Europe it was true only In q
limited and qualified way. If one ma
ton OF Europe is prepared for war then
the preparedness of others is a guaran-
tee of peace. But If each had but a
small armament the peace OF Europe
would be much better guaranteed than

Issue which is called up by the Phlla

issue which is called UP by the Phila-
delphia Times:
I'VE read that in the yatch squad
ron upon Long Island Sound, many
yachting women may now be seen
dressed sensibly and nautlcally in
white duck trousers. This happy
thought suggests u possible solution OF
the shirt waist problem. The women in
trousers must wear shirt waists and
they can be relied upon to wear them
properly and to adjust the trousers to
them in "a satisfactory way. BY study
ing their example the men may learn
how to do it,"
Shall world -conquering man. Boosting
of his inventive genius and creative in

his shirt waist to his trousers waist?

Nashville, Tenn, June S.-Evelyn B.
Baldwin, an Arctic explorer Of note,
who participated in the second Peary
expedition and in the Wellman expe-
dition, is in this city. on a visit to
friends. To the correspondent of the
Commercial Tribune he made a state
ment regarding the probable fate of
the Andre party. Mr. Baldwin offered
to go with this party, and did go to
Spitzbergen, from which point the
balloon left the earth in 1897, but there
was no room for him. He said;
There may be said to remain bare
possibility that Andre may be heard
from this coming fall, as it is the con-
tident belief of Captain Andre, the
brother of the explorer, that some in
formation will come of the long-absent
aeronaut from somewhere among the
numerous islands comprising the
Peary Archipelago. lying to the north
OF the British American coast. Should
Andre not be heard from by next Oc-
tober, then all hope of his safety must
he abandoned. l, however, believe
chat something will be found in the
near future thatwill give a clue as to
the fate of the expedition, as in all
probability more of the floating buoys
or other items of equipment will be
picked up on the sea or ice or upon
the shores of Arctic lands. In any
event, l do not believe that disaster
resulted from accident to the balloon,
but that. should nothing be heard of
the explorers, they must have per-
ished in the attempt to regain civlliza-
tion, after having made.a safe descent
upon the sea ice.
"As the expedition did not leave
Spitzbergen till July II. 1897, they may
have been carried into the very inter
Tor of unexplored sea ice, covering the
entire Arctic Ocean, before making
etheir final descent, and then having
no dogs to assist them in journeying
southwark toward land the time would
be short in which to make a consider
able journey where abundant game
could be secured and hut for the ap-
preaching Arctic night be built"
Mr., Baldwin is returning from trip
to South America. He announces that
he will undertake Polar voyage on
his own responsibility in 1901.

City Affairs.
DECENNIAL APPRAIsEMENT.

DECENNlAL APPRAISEMENT.
When it comes to rating real estate
for taxation there should be no effort
TO fix up the lists so as TO make a big
showing. Ten years ago the central
district of the city was put up to the
highest notch and much complaint was
made at the time about the abnormal
ly high rates which were put On the
real estate in the city as compared
with real estate in the country.
Within the last ten years the outly-
ing real estate Of the city has increas-
ed in value in surprising manner
and much more rapidly than the real
estate in the central district of the city
and the readjustment of values that is
now going on should relate largely to
this outlying land which ten years ago
was considered of little value. The
fact is, If the taxes on this central
district are raised much higher, the
owners will feel like selling out and
moving away from a city which has
no consideration for the tax payer.
1t is claimed by the advocates of
high valuation that the rate of taxa
tion which is now nearly up to the
limit of three per cent, will be reduced
so that the amount to be paid by the
taxpayer will not be any larger than at
present, and very likely it will be
much less than we now pay. That
certainly is "consummation devoutly
to be wished" Where is the Moses
who will lead us out Of this wilderness
and secure to us this desirable end.
We fear that the present generation
will never see any lower rate, or at
least less taxes than at present. We'll,
you say, you will elect men to Council
and School Board who will bring this
desirable thing to pass, but want to
say right now that you can't do 1t.
