Familiarity OF Velvet.

velvets are to the front. Last win
ter they were we'll liked, but this year
they are universally popular. Perhaps
even more fashionable are the suits
of velveteen and corduroy. Every we'll
appointed outfit now includes gown
Of this rich yet durable material, which
is usually plain and tailor-made, In
fact velveteen has almost superseded
cloth for the walking costume. Plain
stitched bands form an effective trim

A Fetching Headdress.

Very effective for a headdress for
evening are two peacock feathers
made entirely Of sequins in colors, re-
producing the effect Of the feathers
with remarkable accuracy. The two
feathers are carried straight up from
two small knots of black velvet, which
finish a band Of the same material,
which is to be carried around the coil

There is no economy in public ex-
penditure--federal, state or municipal
that is so obviously necessary as the
pairing down Of the salaries of officials
and the wedding out Of thousands Of
supernumerarles who lnfest the SER
vice. Here is the first work for politi-
cal reformers, The rates at which sal
aries have advanced and positions in
the public employ have been multi
piled in the United States since the
close Of the civil war has outrun the
advance In population and the magnlfi-
cent increase in the national wealth
There has been no consequent i'm
provement in the efficiency Of govern
ment. The larger pay has apparently
brought on larger rottenness.

The President is an extremely capa-

Shrewd plotters, such as Senators

against man who can give them all
the fighting they want, and probably
a great deal more than thty will rel sh.

Trusts outdolng DIngleylsn.

When the Dlngley tariff was ar
ranged its authors provided in 1t a
means of qualifying its most repulslve
features by providing for the negotiat-
ton Of reciprocity treaties. The Re-
publican party In convention lndorsed
the policy thus set forth and hailed
protection and reciprocity as twins,
President Mckinley did his best to
keep faith with the people. But the
trusts have become more powerful
than their creators. They refuse to

The Republican newspapers are as
suring us that according to the recent
decision of the supreme courts, the
Philippines are as much a part of the
United States as Missouri or New

country are at liberty to come here at
pleasure. This being true, the Fill
pino may be imported here at the
pleasure of the rich corporations to do

to further mongrelize the inhabitants

Tho Trust Issue.

and discontended The trust issue will
not down. Within the last few
months some OF the great influential
Republican papers have seen the hand
writing and are daily increasing their
demands that the party in power shall
not wait till 1t is too late in graphing
the mighty giant by the throat, These
papers have heard, not only the
wall" as they formerly called 1t, Of
the Populstic press, but have also as
certained that the masses Of the peo-
pie, regardless Of party, are tired of
being overrun, robbed and lnsulted by
the trusts, and WILL II necessary, cut
party ties to protect themselves and
their posterlty from the greedy trusts.
They don't need to listen to the com
plants Of their neighbors, or to be
told in political speeches Of the prog
ress these trusts are making to enslave
labor and extort from the consumer.
They learn 1t from practical expert

DEATH KNELL OF SABBATH
is SOUNDED SAYS MINISTER

NEW YORK, March 10.-In discussing
Americas Religious Crisis" Rev. DR..
George c. Lorimer, pastor Of the Madison
Avenue Baptist church, said:
Religion, especially evangelical relig-
ion, is today Of very low validity. The at
tendance at church service is shamefully
small We are attacked by secular writ
ers They tell us that the ministry is dete-
riOrating. that the churches have lost
their influence to the schools, and that
education alone can encompass all the &C
tivities Of life. They say that the churches
spend more for the super1uities of life
than for the gospel. and point with scorn
at the ice cream suppers and other cheap
ening methods of obtaining money to sup
port the gospel. They condemn US for
sending missionaries abroad when our
people are spiritually starving at home.
But, however true these accusations may
be in part. they are overdrawn. They
must be taken with allowance Yet a
thoughtful man will not ignore them. He
must admit that there is a crisis in Amer
lean religious life.

is ACCOMPLISHED.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-The fourth
conference held by the house Republicans
on the Cuban reciprocity problem result
ed again in failure and after a stormy
session last night continuing until the
hour of midnight. an adjournment was ia
ken until next Tuesday. The adjourn
ment. it is claimed, is a decisive victory
for the advocates of reciprocity as the
leaders of the other side contended for
session at which something positive would
result.
When the conference was called to or
der last night, there were about 1S0 per-
sons present, The session grew and in
creased in sensational interest as resolu-
ton after resolution was brought before
the attention OF the body and votes were
cast for and against them.
When the conference was adjourned, 1t
was admitted by both sides that really
nothing worthy Of mention had been done
and the two factions were as much at sea
as before.
The next conference, according to the
terms of adjournment last night will be
held next Tuesday evening.
