Mrs. Roosevelt and the ladies propose,
therefore, to introduce dinner coat,
modelled on the fashion of that of the
royal consort of Charles H., Queen 'eth-
crime of Braganza, A design OF this. coat
may be seen in the play of Nen Gwynne,
when the Queen visits her rivals l0dg-
ings. This garment might be dropped
from the shoulders with ease and again
readily readjusted. 1t is close fitting in
the back, with loose angle sleeves and
dolman shape. 1t may not come in at
once, but the influence of the cabinet Ia

and on the sleeves. One. example of this
fashion was a study in browns utilizing
four different materials Mixed black and
brown Scotch wool was for top of skirt
and foundation of bolero, camels hair in
paler brown was for waistcoat and
skirt tlounce, while nut brown satin-tin-
ished cloth appeared in stitched bands
on skirt and coat. These three fabrics
used with embroidered brown and green
silk produced a suit that was deemed an
especially fine expression of this fashion.
A less complex form of it was that
sketched for the accompanying small pic
ture. Here dark red zibeline was trim
med with narrow bands of white satin
faced cloth, and the odd collar was trim
med with a stitched band of bright red
silk. Four materials and as many shades
are often used. Three blues and white
are susceptible of very fine combination.
All this makes for pleasing variety, aud
it can be turned to the benefit of econom-
lzers, too But TO gain by it, the skimper
must not only be a shrewd chooser at
the remnant counter, but must know a
thing or two or three about color com
binations.
This fashion has overthrow the last
stronghold of the severe tailor gown.
which now is rarely seen. Aside from
the class of gowns just described, the
new tailor suits have sufficient decora-
ton to make them suitable for visiting
and even reception use, and the taste
and ingenuity with which these decora
tons are applied are strictly of the first
grade. Rough and smooth faced cloths
are used, and nearly all colors are suit
able, tans, browns and blues being the
more favored. Corduroy and velvet are
also made in tailor style, ard handsome
suits of velvet with sable trimmings are
also seen. Velvet gowns are made with
very little trimming as rule. stitched
bands of silk and cloth being the usual
Sarniture Small figured velvets are styl-
ish, especially in brown, green, metal
and fawn shades. They come in fine
line stripes anu pin dots in white very
close together. The skirts of these gowns
usually are not extremely long, yet trail
at least a little. Bodces are of many
kinds, but the position back fitting the
figure closely and the slightly bloused
front opening with small embroidered
revers over a lace front are features

Why MOI. Fire Lonre

President Roosevelt can possibly af-
ford to take some risks with his repu-
tation as a political idealist; his repu-
tation as a man of courageous honor
and justice he ought not TO imperil.
Until Mr.. Payne shall have begun the
restoration of the spoils system in
the postal service we need not dispute
his appointment TO Mr.. Rooseyelt's
cabinet. But if the time has come to
reconstruct the cabinet. why does Mr..
Long remain? He has destroyed the
morale of the navy and smirched its
reputation. He has affronted the pub
lie sense of justice and decency. Mr..
Roosevelt knows this. and his contin-
ued liberation of this unfit person
among his constitutional advisers. has
done more than any other thing to
impair confidence in the judgment and
courage of the President himself.
The issue comes plainly before him
in the miserable miscarriage of justice
in the case of Rear Admiral Sehley.
President Mckinley. who was origin
ally responsible for Long. would not
have allowed him the opportunities he
has abused. Dewey was designated by
Mckinley; the other two members of
the Court of inquiry were selected by
Long, and have carried out his orders.
Their absurd and outrageous finding,
in utter disregard of truth. was what
he expected of them and could not fail
10 receive his approval. But every in
stinct of Theodore Rooseyelt's manly
charaSter must revolt against it. And
ne. not Secretary Long, is commander
in-chief of the navy and responsible
Tor its security and honor.
If this preposterous finding be al
lowed to go on record, to the detriment
IF a brave and successful officer whom
he nation delights to honor, Theodore
Roosevelt must bear the blame and
suffer the resentment. The secretary
has had his way long enough; it is
lime for the President to take the
Ease out of his hands and set aside
he whole proceedings. He was not
responsible for the inception and
growth of the disgraeeful conspiracy.
but his administration will be dis
hOnored by its contamination. 1t is
for him to brush aside the bubbles of
the narrow naval pedagogues and give
expression to the nations confidence in
the men who have won its victories.
If this should drive Mr. Long from
the cabinet it will please the country
all the more The President is thought
to be turning his attention to politics.
1t will be very bad politics to load his
administration at the outset with the
disgrace of the persecution of Schley.
A still stronger argument for his cour-
ageous intervention is that it would be
right The American people will for
give much to one in whose controlling
sense of righteousness they can confde;
their disappointment will be bitter if

spicuous a test.-News, Macon. Ga.

closed with gilt cord frogs, and revers
and sleeve puffs were black velvet This
variation of the Louis coat counts as very
stylish just now.
The dominant feature of many a fine
new bodice is either bolero or snowy
lace collar, although both these items
have been long time stylish. A sample
of the collars appears in this picture,
and was ecru Irish crochet on biscuit la
dies cloth. White Irish crochet collars
are numerous, too, as are collars of grass
linen appliqued with heavy lace. EN-
broidered null is another much favored
collar material. Fluffy chiffon and lace
jabots may be worn with them and hand
some lace collars finish a number. They
are trimmed with braid, stitched bands
of silk and cloth, stitching and embroid-
cry. Those of fur and velvet show very
little trimming, but usually have a hand
some lace or chiffon jabot. A suggestion
of the military bodice in the trimming is
a brand new wrinkle. This may be faint
or quite huzzar-like. 1t was suggested
only in the bolero of this picture by
means of tabs of white silk embroidered
in black. The goods was willow green
broadcloth.

Washington ladies, without distinction Of

sneers at this full dress, or undress, have
been unavailing to compel the ladies' to

Descending to Machine Polite


According TO special dispatches In
some of ouj Republican exchanges
President Roosevelt has already began
a retrograde movement. and is de
scending to machine politics in order
to advance his personal political for

tention is ca,.ed at this time is that of

The Tor;g and The Trusts-

Congress man DalZell of PennS ylYania,
second member of the ways and means
committee of the house, and said to be
closer to Speaker Henderson than any
other representative, declares that the
Dingley tariff bill will not be molested
by congress.
1t should be remembered, incidental.
". that as Mr.. Dalzell is one of the
most influential Republican leaders in
the house, it may be naturally assumed
that he is in duty bound to protect the
interests of the trusts. That assumption
would account for the following re-
markable declaration he makes:
"The only excuse offered for tinker
ing with the tariff is that trusts may be
punished; whereas it is well known
that the trusts cannot be punished ia
this manner"
Many men of brains have declared
! that the only way to get at the trust is
through the tariff. Therefore when MIR.
Dalzell assumes that the. contrary lis
well known" he either purposely or in
advertantly errs.
If a protective tariff was justified
when our "fufant industries were real
ly infantile, it has proven the mother
of the trusts which were begotten by
manipulation of the monetary system
In reply to Mr.. Dalzen it might be
said that the attitude of such men as
himself warrants the belief that re-
vision Of the tariff is exactly the way to
punish the trusts.
The Republican party in the last cam
paign, as an offset to the cry raised
against trusts by the Democratic lead
ers. made volumnous promises OF anti
trust legislation. Now it's delegated
members in congress are growing red

OILY logical antitrust measures so far

ing that tariff revision would be futile
they fail to present any other means for
obtaining the end they professed to be
so DESTROYS of in 1900.
| If the trusts themselves were not so
| anxious to assert that the teriff has
nothing to do with them. the people
might receive the declarations of Con

why High Tariff Is Opposed.

There is strong and we believe a
growing sentiment in this country IN
opposition to the protective tariff based
on two grounds One is that protection
is not now really needed by any healthy
.adnstry. that there is not any import
ant industry that cannot easily hold the
home market against foreign competi-
tors. The other IS that protection Is
grossly abused. that 1t Is made the
means Of high prices AT home, despite
