The New York Commercial Adver-
ttSer refers seriously to the nomination
OF Grover Cleveland by the Democrats
in 1904. The Commercial advertiser
says that Mr.. Cleveland wrote a letter
congratulating the President on his
course in the coal strike. The New
York paper adds: "This would go far
to indicate that the two men are not
widely apart In their views as to the
proper regulation of corporations and
trusts, for the chief grievance of the
latter toward the President is his in
reference in the coal strike" 1t Is
doubtless true that Mr.. Cleveland's
attitude toward trusts is not widely
apart from that of Mr.. Roosevelt or
any other Republican who has no
serious intention OF providing the peo-
pie material relief from trust imposi-
lions. 1t was just that sort of a policy
that made Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministration a failure; and 1t was just
that sort of a policy that the Demo
cratic party was called to account
upon in the two presidential campaigns
following the Cleveland administra-
ton. Democrats want no more Re-
publicanization of the party.-Me

A Real Trust Fighter.

The Globe Democrat in a recent issue
tells how President Diaz of the Next
can Republic thwarted the Standard
Oil company. According to the Globe
Democrat the oil trust got control of a
Mexican railroad and attempted to
freeze out a rival by putting a pro-
hibitive rate on oil from the compet-
ing we'll. The matter was brought to
the attention of the president, and he
at once put the legal machinery into
motion and the railroad soon had to
choose between the restoration Of the
old rate and a forfeiture Of its charter.
The result was that the railroad re-
duced its rate for carrying oil and the
Standard Oil company had to meet the
competitive price of oil.
Our President could do the same
thing in effect IL he desired to do 80.
If he was really anxious to extermin-
ate the trusts he could do so in short
order. He could prepare a bill MAX
ing it unlawful for any corporation TO
use the mails, railroads or telegraph
lines for interstate commerce until the
corporation showed that Its stock was
not watered, and that it was not try
ing to %monopolize any branch of bust
ness or the product of any article of
merchandise. His power to appeal to
the people and his ability to focus
public attention upon a question would
enable him to secure the passage of a
really meritorious law-but such action
would antagonize the money power
and bring a fight in the next national
convention THE C0mm0ner.

The St. Louis Republic provides Mr..
Roosevelt with food for thought when
1t says: 1.-The President OF the United
States has, either for politics or from
ignorance Of conditions, inaugurated a
program Of irritating the southern
white men. Unless he is after some
object In party machine politics he
will utterly fail. He cannot help the
negro and will only increase the social
distance between the races

Sacred Songs and Spanish Dances.

The final union of the church and
the stage will be marked by the ad-
vent of Mrs. Florence Halliday Brown
as q vaudeville attraction in New York.
Mrs. Brown ia the wife of the Rev.
G. S.. Brown, an Episcopal minister
and worker In the City Mission Society.
She has sung solos In church choirs,
but ~"steadily refused to appear behind
the footlights," we are informed, until
a specially tempting offer was made to
her. Then the minister's wife, ''say-
ing she would never consent, con-
sented," and as a consequence she will
make her debut February I'd.
She will first appear in the robes Of
a choirister, singing sacred music.
After the encore. which she seems to
consider inevitable, she will flash upon
the astonished gaze OF the audience
and give a Spanish dance, In short
skirts, to the sound Of castanets. OF
the fair Mrs. Brown 1t is said that
..she Ia exceedingly graceful and can
dance with great cleverness."
The connection between sacred
music and a Spanish dance is SO APP
parent as to be grasped at once, even
by the most obtuse mind. The soften
ing effect Of the one, followed closely
BY the b%ewildering inspiration Of the
other. affords such a contrast that the
auditor will be treated to a sort Of in
tellectual loop-the-loop. Mrs. Brown
as the amalgamAtor Of church ana
stage, seems destined to make q mark
that will not soo be- rubbed out BY
tho sponge Of time which has alb.
sorbed many 4 reputation heretofore.

WfIAL
CLOTH GOWNS

New York, Dec. 19.-Cloth Gowns are
becoming more and more elaborate in &C.
sign. until it seemed as tnoueh there
might be a revolt from so much over
loading of trimmings. so much pleating
end shirring, and already cons eIva i've
minded women are talking of when the
times comes for perfectly plain gowns to
be the smartest. Absolutely plain gowns
for everyday morning wear are now quite
the smartest. but unfortunately are not
suitable for afternoon, carriage or recep-
ton, and quite a different style of dress
is demanded
Heavy cloth, like silk velvet always
seems as though best suited to simple
lines, but the cloths of this season, while
they look heavy and thick, are in reality
light in weight, comparatively speaking,
and so can be gathered shirred or tuck
ed without looking clumsy. Plain skirts
are rarely seen; there are founceS, one.
two or three folds. and bands of the ma
terial OF velvet, braid or fur, all skirts are
long, and long at the sides as wei as
&t the back, made over a silk drop skirt
extremely wide around the foo, but close
fitting over the hips.
ranged to give the long shoulder effect,
ere very smart; fichus or capes in cloth
are on waists as well as coats, and al
though too much of a blouse in front of
the waists is not thought smart, a tight
fttinfi waist is completely out of fashion,
Long dropping sleeves, finished with ruff
fies of muslin and lace or lace, are nee
essary, and often the sleeve is slashed
from wrist to shoulder and accordian
pleated silk chiffon Or silk is insrted to
give the required appearance. These
white ruffles and lace ruffles are very
effective, but when worn with black cloth
jackets are almost too sharp in contrast
and may become too popular before long.
In all the light cloth gowns they are
charming and most becoming, but, be it
remembered. they become soiled and tum-
bled very easily. so that it is necessary
to have several sets for each waist;
otherwise the fashion is one to be avoid
ed.
Black cloth costumes are always smart
nd this year seem to be especially at
tractive, in them are so many different
ways in which q variety of style can be
gained, but the dark colored cloth gowns
nre most charming in color and design.
Purple is very fashionable, green, one
shade, rather a vivid one at that, brown
and an exquisite violet are all in demand
The satin finish smooth cloths are used
for the more elaborate gowns. but there
are many different styles in the zibelines
that make up effectually and in which
the coloring is decidedly good.

OF a big haul recently made there by a
mysterious American. He arrived In his
own schooner of West csicos. an islet In

There he stayed for some days. doing
nothing and telling nobody his business.
He had evidently come FOR aaIt or spong-

seafaring men ordinarily visit the csioos
for. Nobody could imagine why he was
there. for West caicos - the last place n
