ing Masters Association.

NG" ~ III - ny AAS /S%aA&-
ing Masters Association.
Fashions change III dancing as In
dress, and In all parts of the country
young people are learning the most
recent dances approved ~ tho lnterna-
tional Association of Masters Of Dane
ing at its recent convention. vt is the
custom of the dancin. masters asso-
citation to select each year three OF the
dances Of the many originated by its
400 members to be introduced as the
seasons novelties.
In such detail that each dance can
easily be understood. Professor j. Mark
Macdonald, president OF the or'gailiza-
ton, recently told Il reporter of the New
! York Evening Journal the proper steps
for this year.
"Onc of the features Of this season,
selected ainong the many presented to
the convention of the masters assoc;a-
| ton. is the Mildred-a twostep." said
Professor Macdonald. mo prcttier
dance has been seen in years. 1t is the
creation of Professor a. j. Giaconia Of
Tlompsonville, Conn, and can be
| danced in any two-four time. In begin
in;~ this dance open position Is assumed,
| the nearest hands of the dancers being
joined. the lady starting with the right
foot and the gentleman with the left.
After this the whole figure is executed
to sixteen bars of music as follows:
make two walking steps forward;
! count ona and two. Twostep forward;
| count one and two. MAXI two walk
in- steps forward; lady with loft foot.
gentleman with right foot; count ona
and two. Assume waltz position and
execute two rocking steps. as pas de
basque; sidewise; count one. two, three.
four. Make three galop slides. ending
on gentleman's right foot. lady's left
| foot: count one, two. three, four. With
| out any loss of time, make half turn
and again execute the rocking steps:
count one. two. three. four. Three
| galop slides. ending on gentleman's left
foot. lady's right foot: count one. two
three, four. Now twostep four times.
making two turns. half turn to the bar
and counting one and two to a bar.
1.-THE Pamala, originated by John
| Hackett. who is instructor to the vice
regal court Of Canada. is n sort of re-
fined cake walk to twostep time. and
is bound to be used widely because of
the undiminished popularity of the
cake walk. The Schenectady dance. by
f. S. Capello. is another sort of two
step cake walk.
One of the most striking novelties is
the American Belle, a new dance
| executed in trios and not in couples
as are all Of the time IGNORED round
and square figures. In this dance the
lady is attended on either side by a
gentleman and the movements are all
forward, with some very pretty toe and
knee work. ~HIau
Those summer resorts where. during
certain parts of the season. the ratio
Of population shows a preponderance
of the fair sex have not been forgotten
in the schedule. and there need be no
heartburnings or bitter tears over the
lone masculine if the Summer Hotel
threestep be introduced, In this dance
the man clasps hands with a girl on
his left and another on his right.

Great Britain. Coal supply.

Great Britain is likely to be a power
full competitor of the United States in
the worlds coal market for some time.
According to an English expert the
supply of coal yet remaining to be
mined in the United Kingdom amounts
to sO,6S4. 10000 tons. which, at the
present rate Of mining. would last $40
years. The same authority gives the
total output of the world in 1900 as
767, ,2O4 tons, of which Great Brit
ain produced 229, GOO, 1000 tons. or 30 per
cent. and the United States 245,O00,0O
tons. leaving a balance of about 35 pei
cent for the rest of the world.

There are some who are not yet
absolutely satisfied with the state
ment that the condition of his health
made the retirement of Schwab inn
peratively necessary. Some incline
to the belief that he proved to be not
quite equal to the position and the
directors took an easy way of telling
the public that some one else would
get the job.

WAS NO SURRENDER.

. l
Much as they may say and think
to the contrary, it is very evident
that Governor Cummins does not
agree with the democratic editors OF
Montana that he made an abject sur
render to the stand patters" when
he consented to the compromise and
became a candidate on the platform
adopted. The Iowa idea" while not
exactly promulgated in the plain Ian
guage that some of it's adherents
may have wished, is still not smoth-
cred, but on the contrary is a part of
the wool and warp of the main fabric.
The platform declares for a revision
of the tariff from time to time as the
changed conditions demand and also
declares that the tariff shall not be
employed as an instrument for the
benefit of trusts and combinations or
in the furtherance OF m%onopolies. This
declaration is a tolerably fair endorse
ment of the Idea" and is regarded
as such by Cummins, who, in his
speech of acceptance, said:
II believe that the mighty transfer
nations of the last six years demand
a change in some of the schedules
that were enacted to carry this policy
%(protection) into effect; and | find
in your platform a distinct recog-
milton of the necessity. l believe that
some of the tariff rates are too high
and that they should be reduced; and
/ find in the platform the warrant
for my position. believe that mono-
poles are intolerable, and that all
Just powers OF the government should
be INCREASINGLY exerted to overthrow
them: and | find in the platform that
tariff schedules must be opposed to
domestic monopoly, as we'll as foreign
control. l believe in the reciprocity
which will increase the production OF
American farms and American work
shops; and | find in the platform that
reciprocity between nations is trade
for mutual advantage and both sides
must give and take. "
"Conscious of the differences Of
opinion that l have already outlined,
and conscious of nothing but a spirit
of amity, l yet intend to exert all my
mower. humble and feeble as it is,
to make the views l have SO made
auately stated, the prevailing views
of the republican party"
1t will be seen that the governor has
not receded from his well known pc
sition on the tariff. He reinterates
all he has said in the past in thai
respect and makes it plainly under
stood that he intends to continue hls
opposition to a tariff that is calculated
to foster and encourage domestic mo
nopolies, which is only another wa.
-.
of saying that he still believes nj
schedule should be maintained at
rate where it is a shelter for trusts
1t is admitted that the platform
was adopted as a result OF a com
promise and where a compromise i
made there must be concessions iron
both sides, hence the tariff plank is
perhaps, less radical than was expect
ed In some quarters, but for all tina
it should not be construed as a CON
plete surrender by the revisionists t
the men who think no change shoul'
be made in the tariff as it now stands

In view of the performance Of the
generous clouds during the last week
or so some of the men who have done
a little prophesying will probably find
it convenient to return to the stories
of dry summers of long ago.

While the liberality of nature in
making rather late amends for its
n~iggardliness earlier in the season
may have in%terfered with some OF
the celebrations planned for last Sat
urday, still the disappointment caus-
ed thereby vas not great enough to
have caused a wish that the conditions
of the last few weeks should continue.
Given their choice between a rip snort
ing time and the generous showers
that prevailed it is safe to say that
all except the small boy would have
voted for Jupiter Pluvius.

The trouble seems to be that some
people cannot understand that favor
ing a revision of the tariff so far
as some of the schedules are concerned
is not a surrender OF the theory OF pro-
lection, The Iowa and other republic
cans who believe that the time has
come when some of the imposts should
be reduced are no less protectionists
than they ever were. -

A Cautious Look Into 1904

Hicks. the weather prophet, says
from time to time 1t Is our custom
carefully 10 sum up the causes and
give our readers our conclusions, In
General way, concerning the
seasor able outlook for the coming
year. Hundreds of importunate let
tiers are being received from farm
ers and leading commercial men,
asking our opinions concerning the
rainfall In the spring and summer
of 1904 This information Is the
more earnestly sought thus early,
In order to determine whether they
will seed heavily this fall. We say
very frankly that we expect an
other time OF shortage In rainfall,
over the great western and north.
western grain regions, within the
next two years. The probabilities
are that the crisis will not be
reached before the summer of 1905.
If we were In the farming business,
we would plan this fall for larger
crops of wheat, and other products
calculated toiwithstand dry weather
In the summer of 1904, We would
make a careful inventory of our
lands, setting apart the fields on
middle and uplards for wheat-a
crop more likely to develop before
drouth sets In, and reserving the
bottom lands, or fields better suited
for corn. We do not figure that
general, disastrous drouth will
come, even In 1905, but we advise
careful planning for rain shortage,
even In 1904.
