deserves to be=censured for his part in the business. He knows, as every other senator knows, that the state ment made by TilIman in regard to the manner by which his colleagues vote was secured for the Philippine treaty, is absolutely true. McLaurin was openly opposed to the treaty until day or two before it was ratified. lie claimed to be a democrat, and was elected as such. From that day to thls all the federal patronage of the state has been under his control. Of what use for anybody to deny that this ar engagement was a trade? We notice that Senator Hanna was quickly on his feet to get ill a word for McLaurln- This was entirely proper. There never was more bare-faced sell-out of a senatorial vote for patronage than thai to which Senator Tillman has called attention several times, and we do not think that he has been guilty of any impropriety in doing so. McLaurln knew that he had Hanna, and other senators identified with the last admin istration, behind him i'll making the charge. Application of the epithe' liar to his colleague, under the eff cumstances by McLaurin was vicious and reprehensible act. Mir Tillman is not liar. The man who denounces as lie that which is well known to De true, and which he knows to be true is better fitted to be outside than te occupy a seat in the United States sen ate chamber

LIFE OF WEST POINT CADET

In describing the daily life of a cadet it is unfortunately necessary, at the outset to refute the idea that this life is made up largely of leisure and frolic. Nothing could be further from the truth. No college in the country manages to crowd into course of four years so extensive a curriculum. Yet, in addition to all the long hours spent in study and recitation, every cadet is obliged to master thoroughly all the in- tricacies of drill, minor tactics, the out door application of academic studies, and, in general, the essentials of a sound technical and military training. A young man there is obliged to rise at C o'clock every morning, except Sun- day, when he may stay abed until 1. Just enough time is allowed him in which to dress properly, and to DO lice" the room which he shares with one other cadet Policing consists | in what would be called chamber work in civil life. but in no hotel in the country is this work so systematically and tidily performed as by cadets, for l ill the army neatness is insisted on as one of the first duties of a soldier. By the time the police work is over, the battalion forms and marches to break ] fast in the cadet mess hall. After the meal, forty minutes are allowed for rest and recreation.
 l Punctually at o'clock the sections ] file to the various recitation rooms for the first recitations, an hour and half l in length. Sections alternate in hours. After II o'clock recitations are an hour l long. For two and a half hours in the morning cadets are subjected to long series of mental ordeals, the interven- 1 ing hours being used for study. There l is no chance for q cadet, even if he is J so disposed, to shirk his recitations. He cannot offer the excuse of mot pre- pared" He must be ready. There is no hope for him to escape unnoticed in I the recitation room, for each class is divided into sections, these sections consisting usually of eight men, and never more than twelve. The profes- sors and instructors have abundant l time to draw out of each man just what he knows of the subject under discussion. Nor is there any hope of hiding ignorance by asking the instruc- tor what he means by question. All the professors and instructors are con- I versant with these little artifices of the class room, and such an attempt on the part ot cadet would be sure to re. bound upon the offenders head. The motto for academic work is, Every cadet every day. and the standard Every cadet proficient in everything" "
 From this strain of five hours men. tal work i'll the morning the only cadet l who can expect to escape is the one
 who answers the ''sick call'' at THO a.
 m, and is excused from duty. If he is ill the young man is taken into the cadet hospital; but, if his illness is 1 slight. he is ordered to keep to his quarters and is excused from all work until his name is stricken from the ''sick report Each cadet is sup posed to make up the time lost when
 he becomes i'll. If he cannot do this
 he is either turned back to the class next below, or else is summarily dis
 missed from the academy for deficien

FOR ELDERLY WOMEN.

It is mistake as a women grows older to buy what are known as tnoyel- ty gO0ds-thOse which come into fash lon every spring and autumn-for how ever attractive they may be in their bright colorings or intricate weaves, they are marked by their very beauty, and soon go out of favor. For street wear there is nothing like a camelss hair or black broadcloth. A medium length skirt with straight lines of trimming, sufficient width around tbe hlpsaand yet fitting closely, and q lilfee-quarter-length cloak, make a capltal street gown. The coat can be Ill the one-piece style, Or have the at tached skirts, as desired. but the fit- ted coat with the straight front is the best. A very good gown of this des- cription is of iron-gray cheyiot or caneFs hair. so dark as to look almost black; it is made with line of black braid down the front. finishino in double circles toward the hem of tbn skirt. The coat is faced with stitched black revers, or with white. on which is again the braid like the skirt. If is very simple gown and q very smart one. An excellent inyestmant for any women as she grows older is good black peau de soie or silk gown made with train, trimmed with iet Or lace, with the waist in jacket effect and Dostillion black. and with some soft white chiffon or lace in from. Lace gowns are not suitable for elder " women, but there can be nothing handsomer than lace and velvet oI. lace and silk. Velvet is another ma terial always in fashion for elderly women, and long black velvet cloak IS a very handsome outer garment Most elderly women prefer to wear black. relieved with white at inc throat or the front of the gown. and q black velvet or jet bonnet with aig- ret of white is always suitable. But some women look well in dark pur- pie and gray relieved by touch of lighter purple. It is q mistake to wear bright colors. For the moment White IS the most fashionable color even for middle aged women. It seems odd to see a women of fortv- five or fifty with white hair, wearing a white hat, and yet it is exceedingly becoming, and is seen everywhere Harper'S Bazar.

Last week in congress witnessed a tedious iteration and reiteration of re- publican misgovernment as applied to the affairs of the United States and it's possessions, writes d correspondent. Beginning with the tyrannical rule which was adopted by the republican majority i'll the house of represents tives and which effectually prevented the amendment of the bill abolishing the war taxes, and ending with the admission of Governor Taft that the newspapers of the Philippine islands are deprived of the right of free speech and that their editors would be liable to the law promulgated by the com mission of which he is the head, if they were to publish any article favor able to Philippine independence, the week ill Washington has borne sad testimony of the extent to which the government, under republican admin istration, has departed from the great principles of liberty and the spirit of the constitution. Not only are the newspapers of the Philippines mug zled, but so also are those of the United States. Senator Lodge has seen fit to exclude from the rooms of the Philippine committee, before which Governor Taft is testifying, all newspaper representatives except those of the tliree principal press as sociations. In1admitting the latter he appreciates that he is safe from ad- verse criticism, as they all serve many republican fas well as democratic pa pers, and1 therefore, dare not report many facts which would offend repub- lican editors, as to do so would be Ito run cchnter to the business office"
