spect is anomalous. 1t is not only anon
the doctrine Of the spread Of the foreign
carrying trade of the nation when our
attitude toward all other trading nations
is one Of exclusiveness. We are saying
much about our Oriental trade, while we
are stretching the national ingenuity to
devise means by which every native of
the Middle Kingdom, no matter what or
who he is or what his mission may be,
shall be debarred from these shores. We
preach foreign trade to European nations
when their statesmen are daily giving
public recognition to the truth that re-
prisal not trade is demanded with ref
erence to their commercial relations with
this nation.
The chairman oT g. commerce com
mittee of the senate has introduced his
bill for tie establishment of a merchant
marine. 1t is, in measure, only
less shameful avowal of the determina-
ton of certain ship-owning combines to
induce the government to pay them
bounty as it is paying ether manufac-
turers than those which have gone be-
fore it, and which have been advocated
by Senator Hanna, the national cam
paign tinancier Of the party. In no other
direction has any action whatever been
taken which could operate to promote
the foreign commerce of the country.
The measure of Senator Nelson has
this object in view, and it is generally
recognized that it will have positive
and practical tendency in this direction.
If it is defeated its defeat will be vir-
tual notice served on the country that
instead of the future of the
foreign commerce of the country
depending on any modification in
any direction of the bounties paid to
domestic manufactures through the tar
if or otherwise, that commerce must
depend entirely on the ability of our
manufacturers, with government aid, to
so far underbid the foreign manufactur-
er in his own market as to practically
drive him from his own market. How long
or how far the governments whose sub
jects may be so affected will consent to
meet such competition without having re-
course to measures of protection does
evidently not enter into the calculations
Of the protectionists.
The fate of Senator Nelson's bill will

opinion, it seems. When the subject Of
forcibly annexing the Philippines was
first suggested, he holly declared 1--WE
want no Asiatic dependencies, and sit
was not our duty to be policeman for the
world" Then he accepted an appoint
ment from President Mckinley and went
to the Philippines and advocated the re-
tention Of the little brown men by force,
with or without their consent. But now
he comes out in favor of ultimate indie
pendence for them. Well, it is a wise
man who will relearn the things he
once repudiates.

The testimony of those Kansas soldiers
as to the shooting of native prisoners
may exonerate Gen. Metcalf, but it will
be at the expense of the army of the

treating prisoners as those two unhappy

in a fair fight, represents mere savagery,
and the officer in whose command such
brutality exists and who does not shoot

She sat on the top rail of the ram

the landscape before her Her hat was
tipped from her white forehead, releas-
ing dozen tendril-like yellow culls,
slightly dampened by her walk in the
summer sun. Her short skirt was a trife

and under one arm she carried box
of paints and brushes. In her lap & light

in a patch of clover on the other side
of the fence.

Dorothy Mann turned quickly. A beard

SPRING FASHIONS.

Natural linen -colOred batistes are nu-
merous among the new thin fabrics and
are made up very stylishly with a bodice
of lace of the same color and trimming
of white silk braid with fringed edge
The old-fashioned pull-back is coming
In and many skirts are glove-fitting al
most to the knees, where they flare out
very full. Others are tight almost to the
hem and there are finished with an en-
broidered nainsook or batiste f1ounce of
white or linen color. Tucking, shocking
and shirring show on many.
Handsome silk and velvet waists NAV
be bought very reasonable just at present
and will be good investment for evening.
or theater wear White is the best choice
They are handsomely trimmed with lace
or applique work or some kind and many
are made with a delicate colored velvet
belt or collar. Several belts and collars
will be a wise purchase.
OF embroidery we cannot get enough.
The expensive sets, consisting of vest
fronts, cuffs and pocket flaps, are exceed
ingly modish; so is the crepe house dress,
which is embroidered all over. not to
mention the fancy blouse. If all these are
beyond one the very least one can do is
to embroider few French dots on stock,
cuffs or blouse front.
Deep Vandyke lace collars are much
worn on dresses and outdoor cloaks this
winter. Ruffles on the waist are also
much liked, since nothing displays an
aristocratic hand or tones down an ugly
one to better advantage. The fashion
cannot become too common, since the
difference between cheap and handsome
lace can always be told.
A new hair ornament, consisting of a
string Of gold with pendant which lies
on the center of the forehead, is called
the ferronicre, so named from La Belle
Ferroniere, the unknown woman in one
of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous pic
lures.
Spring ribbons are very beautiful or al
most ugly, according to individual taste
SO many are the odd colorings and weird
designs. Nearly all have a soft, satiny
finish and come very wide. Persian and
Dresden effects are more pronounced than
they have been and nearly all have white
grounds. Black predominates in many of
them. New weaves Of satin and Louisine
ribbon in plain colors are shown and
are to be used extensively for hat trim
mings, two or three shades being used
on one hat. Colored and striped ribbons
will be used chiefly for sashes and for
dress trimmings.
