Economy and Diplomacy.
Washington Star (Ind.)

Washington Star Qnd)
Whenever the question of pay of our
representatives abroad and their manner
of living has been presented in Congress
it has invariably been disposed of upon
ground of prejudice, provincialism and
transformation. The opposition to more
liberal allowances has been successful on
the strength of highfalutin' disquisitions
about Jeffersonan simplicity, when, as a
matter of fact, Mr.. Jefferson, both in Office
at home and when abroad, lived we'll. He
had no taste for a cock-loft on a side
street, and no fancy for solitude. If he
were in the flesh today and consented to
serve the country in London, Paris, or
Berlin he would present himself to the
people to whom he was accredited i'll the
style demanded by the best customs of the
environment. And, ten to one, he would
be- in entire accord with the views which
Mr.. White now announces. He would
want Uncle Sam, in his present state of
prosperity and Importance, to foot the
bills. Strange fate, that of Mr.. Jefersonl
A scholar. philosopher, statesman; a
lover and good judge of good things; a
man who lived high and kept an abun-
dance of silver plate on bis sideboard and
in everyday use, has been represented for
many years to the roundlings as shabby
old skiDfint, and played by demagogues
against all growth and progress.

THE GIRLS OF CASHMERE.
Are Willingly Sold by Their Parents
and Are Carried to the Punjab
in India.

The girls of Cashmere in former
times were sold and carried away to
the Punjab in India. They commanded
a large price, and parents in moderate
circumstances for centuries past have
been in the habit of parting with their
daughters to place themselves in
easier circumstances, and the daugh-
ters have generally been quite willing
to escape from life of penury and
labor to one of opulence and ease, says
the Philadelphia Enquirer.
A laboring man in this part of In
dia cannot earn over two or three dol
lars a month, while many receive for
their daughters as high as thousand
dollars. There are some cases where
81, 900 were paid, but the usual price
has been from 500 to $500.
The practice became so common, as
well as so damaging, that a severe
law was enacted prohibiting anyone
from removing any woman from the
country; but it is said that the bust
ness goes on now as it has done for
hundreds of years, and to that prac-
tice may be charged the fact that the
women of Cashmere are not as beauti-
full as they once were.
The process of taking all the beauti-
full girls away, leaving only the ordi-
nary and ugly ones to continue the
race, has lowered the standard of
beauty. Most of the women and girls
perform field labor as much as the
men, and their dress is of the coarsest
and plainest materials, consisting of
a garment like night gown, made of
white cotton. There is no effort to
have it fit.
The condition of women in Cashmere
is very sad one, but one from which
there does not seem to be any present
escape. 1t is a constant struggle to
live, without the least hope of any ac-
emulation or of ever seeing better
days.
The men only receive about five
cents a day and the women generally
about three cents, and that will pro-
vide only the coarsest food.

THE SOUTH AND POLITICS
The Gain that Would Come from Two
White Parties.
Nashville American DEM

Nashville American (Dem)
The american" has from time to time
discussed the question of two white par
ties in the South and contended that the
existence of two strong parties composed
of white men would be to the South's adj
vantage, politically and materially 1t
would give the South greater voice in the
national conventions of the two parties. 1t
would exert a greater influence in the
nomination of candidates for President and
in the shaping of political and government.
tai policies. The South would be more
potent in the matter of national legislation;
in the distribution of offices and of the
public expenditures. 1t would be some
thing more than a newer of wood and
drawer of water, paying taxes and receiv-
ing little in return. It would develop
stronger political leaders and greater free
dom of thought and action.
If the South imagines it has any con-
siderable influence in national affairs it
is mistaken. Politically it is stepchild
which is treated as an orphan. Demo
cratic platforms have been made with a
view of capturing votes in other sections
on the theory that the South would vote
the ticket no matter what the platform
contained. Republican platforms are
framed without any reference to the South
whatever. AS to the Republican con.
tingent in the South the party pays no
attention to 1t, having small respect for its
character or its influence. Thus the South
is regarded as sort of province or out
lying district on which one party has a
mortgage and which is worth nothing to
the other party. The Democratic party ex-
poets the South's Electoral vote regardless
of whether it is satisfied with the ticket
and platform; while the other party ex
poets nothing from the South, and there
fore treats it with contemptuous indiffer-
ence, beyond securing for this or that
candidate, by purchase or otherwise, the
votes of Southern Republican delegates in
national conventions.
With two white parties, each strong
enough to make the South fighting ground,
all this would be changed. There has
been reason for "solid South" 1t was
natural and necessary. The practical
elimination of the negro from politics
makes a solid South no longer necessary to
the preservation of white supremacy. We
should not like to see the Democratic
party lose control of the South, but we
should like to see that party confronted by
a strong opposition party composed of re-
spectacle white men, thus forcing each
party to put forth the best men and the
best efforts toward good government.
Then no matter what might happen to win
its success would not be menace to hon
est, decent government.

DO CROWS REASONp
An Account of Some Wise Birds
Which Seem to Have Thought
About Things.

The following stories of the crow
we have on the authority of "Un-
beaten Tracks in Japan" They are
related as happening in Yezzo, the
northern island of the empire, where
these birds are feature of the coun-
try:
There are millions of them, and
in many places they break the silence
of the silent land with a Babel of
noisy discords. They are every
where, and have attained a degree
of most objectionable impertinence,
mingled with cunning and sagacity
which almost puts them on a level
with man in some circumstances.
Five of them were so impudent as to
alight on two of my horses, and so
be ferried across a river. In the inn
garden at Mort saw a dog eating
piece of carrion in the presence of
several of these covetous birds. They
evidently said a good deal to each
other on the subject, and now and
then one or two of them tried to pull
the meat away from him, which he
resented. AT last, big, strong crow
succeeded in tearing off a piece, with
which he returned TO the pine where
the others were congregated, and
after much earnest speech they all
surrounded the dog, and the leading
bird dexterously dropped the small
piece within reach of his mouth,
when he Immediately snapped at it,
unwiselT letting go the big piece for
a second, and two of TIE crows flew
away With it to the pine, and with
much Anttering and hilarity they all
ate it, the deceived dog looking va
cant and bewildered for a moment,
after which he sat under the tree
and barked at them.

AN UNCLEAN LEADERSHIP.

There are many thousands of honest,
clean men in the Democratic party of the
Ninth District who are disguised with the
leadership they have been forced to fol-
low in recent years. They do not hesitate
to express their contempt for Rhea and
his methods. We have heard many of
them, some of them among the most
prominent men in the party, express their
disgust for the men who used the Scott
county ballot and the fraudulet ballots
that were used in the counties Of Pulaski,
Russell and Dickinson in the election of
1900. They know that these disgrsceful
ballots we're originated by Rhea's friends
and managers; they know that it was by

The alsatIan Eraid Eo,y.

A recent and worthy invention for
the retaining of the hair when done UP
in braids is called the "Alsatian Braid
Bow This is clever little arrange
,ment through which bow of ribbon
lis passed in such manner that there
is no necessity for the ribbon being
wound around the hair.
1t is well-known fact that when
you tie the ribbon around the hair
Ionce it is mussed up, SO when you
come to tie it the second time it ap-
pears much like wet string. With
but quarter of yard of ribbon it is
possible with this new invention to
make bow which requires neither
tying nor sewing and can be used for
an indefinite time.
I, The young girl who is always using
hair ribbons will appreciate another
valuable characteristic of this new
braid bow, which is, that it is impos-
isible for the ribbon to become united
from the hair without being manipu-
lated by the fingers. The ribbon can
be changed instantly, and attached to
the hair in minute.

the newest designs in gowns of this
description have the lining foundation

color of which may be varied from
time to time. Bought skirts of this
kind are, as rule, somewhat full
round the hem, so that the silk
foundation will have to be in seven
breadths-this is, front, two side
pieces each side and two backs, and,
whatever the length of front may be,
the center of back seam must measure
five inches longer, or if it is to be of
cotton six widths will be sufficient.
And should the ready-made skirt be
too short narrow frills of lace or glace
