NEW BRITISH UNIFORM.
Neither Red Nor Kahki, But Yellow.
 ish Pawn Invisible Serge.

It is probable that within a very brief period rhere will be considerable changes made in the material used for clothing the army on home as we'll as on foreign service. The committee dealing with the subject, which has been in session for about a couple of years, has at length been able to come to final decision. Probably the events in South Africa have helped the mem bers to make up their minds. At any rate. they have chosen an excellent wo1len serge-like material, in which for the future practically the whole work of the tro,ps will be performed. It is not kahki colored. though that well known servicable hue Is somewhat closely approached. Trousers will nCr be made from exactly the same mate rial as the jackets. but If one some what roughe. and thicker in texture. The new material is of yellowish lawn color, and is of excellent quality. It was selected from great number of samples submitted to the committee, and has been approved, by the war of flee. Two other materials of the same tint, but of rather stronger texture. have been selected for the mounted branches. and a stout Bedford cord Of ghe same color will be used for ridin" brooches. No regulation dealing with the new clothing has yet been issued. but one may be expected shortly. and from thenceforward, uniforms made of the new cloth will supercede the serges and dark cloth trousers now worn for drill and field work, both al home and abroad. The same pattern of jacket will be used for all branches of the ser vice, but each unit win wear a distln- gushing badge on the cap and shoul- der strap.
 It Is not, however. intended that the new clothing shall entirely supercede the old style of dress. The tunic is 10 be w>rn for full dress, so that on full dress parades the familiar blue and scarlet and black will still greet the eye. Of course. 1t will be considera- ble time yet before the uniform will be ready, but it is probable that the spring issue of clothing 10 Lhe troops will in clude the new suit It will be more handsome than kahki, while 1t will be far more comfortable and serviceable and so far as experiments go to show, It VIII possess equal fnvisibility. 1t is to be hoped that a suitable head dress may soon be devised for the army. The helmets worn by the regular troops In South Africa are excellent, and su- perior to the much vaunted "smasher'' felt hat, but they are hardly suitable for home wear. A peaked cap of the new cloth. picked out with scarlet lines, and made somewhat approaching the Russian pattern, would look very smart, and he suitable for general wear. At any event, the ridiculous for age and field service caps should be relegated to the museums. along with the blue and scarlet serges now about to be superseded by the nv uniforms.

jured. But for the little rock on which

the majority Of intelligent people were
tired cf machine Democratic rule, and
thought that the ticket put up by the

publicans was put up in good faith, to
give the city n genuine business ad-
ministraton. II 1t had been simply
partisan matter-a matter of suDsti-
tuting one machine for another, the
city would not have been carried by
the Republicans. But the result of Il
good Republican administration Of city
affairs cannot help being good for the
Republican party and helping it TO re-
gain and retain the confidence of n
majority of the people of the city. Such
an administration Mayor Wright
seems likely to give and If he does
the Republicans may retain control of

1t is no walk-over, by any means; and

Lie. tho Axe Fall Hard.

OF the reported disclosures of dishon-
esty in the commissary department Of
the American army in the southern
Luzon district, 1t should be said, as in
the case of the Neeley peculations in
Cuba, that they We're discovered from
the inside and promptly made known.
1t is unpleasant that there should be
evidences of corruption to mar in any
mind the impression of the splendid
efficiency Of our army in the Philip
pines or to qualify Its cretlitable rec
ord. But alongside of the rumored
and exaggerated revelations of wrong
doing should be put the fact that the
machinery to discover 1t and the i'm
pulse to punish 1t come from the cir
cles in which 1t raised its head. 1t Is
an ugly incident, but it serves to ac-
centuate the wholesome fact that the
cure exists in the very organism on
which this eXcrescence has appeared.
The only thing to do is to get to the
bottom of the charges with no prede.
termined purpose to shield or condemn
and then let the axe fall hard.-Ari.

Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington, now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy Of his royal
station. but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper,
and it would have been too much. to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at so unwor-
thy note as her own. This polite
speech" suggests that even in paying
compliments there are fashions" as
in other things. 1t is not certain,
however, that the letter to Washing
ton typifes the fashion of that day.
Doubtless President Mckinley. would
be greatly surprised to find such a
compliment in letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his effusive correspondent. The things
done in jest or in eccentricity in one
generation are oftel taken as. wholly
serious by those who read of them N
a later one.

The Kansa. Elections.

In the light of the returns from Tues
days elections In Kansas two facts are
particularly prominent. One is that the
great revival of Republican power
which swept the state last fall has lost
none of Its momentum, and the other
is that prohibition sentiment in Kansas
is stronger to-day than it has been at
any time in recent years. Nearly all
the cities in the state have gone Re-
publican, and in almost every commu-
nifty where the issue hinged oil the
liquor question the Prohibitionists have
triumphed
This decisive upheavhl of Prohibi-
Zionist influence Is easily explained. The
liquor law has been dead letter for
several years. AS ex-senator PETER
says in the current number of the For
um. politicians and joint-keepers have
nullified the statute and prevented its
enforcement. Saloons have been OPEN
ly conducted in every neighborhood,
and the people who have made prohibi-
ton part of their fundamental law
have been openly deficd by the bene-
ticiaries and protectors of the liquor
traffic. The recent saloon-wrecking
warfare under the leadership of Mrs.
Nation at least called attention to n
fragrant situation and made the state
sensitive to outside criticism. 1t has
now reaffirmed Its belier that rrohi-
bition law is good thing to have on
its books. If Its sensitiveness shall
reach the point where it also believes
that it is n good thing to enforce, so
much the better-New York Mail and
Express.

A woman was recently arrested for
begging In the streets of New York.
She was well known to the police. and
when her case was called some curious
information about her was brought
out. She always had thin. fretful
baby in her arms. and the baby con-
stantly cried. That was her capital,
and to keep 1t unimpaired and produc-
tive, she made practice of pinching
the child whenever 1t seemed inclined
to settle into quiet. The ruse was so
successful that the beggar had a COM
Portable bank account and, we'll
furnished home. All of which bears
out the wisdom of little investigation
before bestowing charity, even when
the case appeals strongly to the SYM
pathies.

One Of the striking things shown by
the last census is the remarkable in
crease OF tenant farming. The per-
centage Of farms operated by tenants
showed considerable increase by the
census Of 1890. For the whole coun-
try this percentage has increased in
the last ten years nearly twice as fast
as the per cent OF population of the ma
ton. four times that of the purely
agricultural population and twice that
of the farms operated by their owners.

people knew as little of them. An ac-
quaintance cultivated at the bayonet's
end was not the sort to lead to an
understanding of the American char
acter. Apparently the insurgent chief
did not get the right idea or after two
years of hostility he would not have
exclaimed, the other day, when his
friends told him what had been done
in the way of civil government: II
never believed the American govern
ment would be so fair and liberal" He
never believed 1t because he was mis-
led from the start by the precious CO.
tere of "anti-imperialists" What
formed his now-discarded opinion of
our people was the stuff these gentle
men sent out to him. In his own way
he has done what their countrymen did
before him-he has thrown them over
board. Let him come to America, II
only to find that the dominant Ameri-
can sentiment toward his country as
embodied in the national policy which
they libelled has been one of consistent
good will and that his act of submis-
sion has been to the friends and NOT
the foes of his people.
