IAN invention sure to interest tai
lors and dressmakers, as well as their
patrons. is method of reproducing
the individual form with scientific
accuracy. The slightest peculiari-
ties of figure, poise and height are
faithfully carried cut, in a replica
which varies not a hal's ; breadth
from the original. The time spent
in fitting and the annoyance of try
ing on garments is therefore saved
the possessor of one of these forms
which enables those living at dis
tance from their tailors or dressmak-
ers to order by mail or wire with as
surance of as perfect fit, as though
they had tried on each garment the
usual number of times.
In this age hurry and hustle, the
immense saving of time and annoy
ance should make this invention in
valuable. not to speak of the addi-
tional merit of its almost entirely
precluding the possibility of a gowns
destruction 10y bad fitting.

Nlaht Scenes in This City.

Even during the heated term Bir- mingham's business center presents a metropolitan and cosmopolitan scene both day and night" said one of the delegates to the plumbers convention In front of the Florence last evening. "Especally am I impressed with the night scenes on the streets
 'The bright lights in the show windows the brilliant electric signs, the well pat ronized and frequent trolley cars with the jingle of their bells of warning, the pray CTS, preaching and singing of the Salva- ton army and the Mormon elders. the street sweepers and garbage cleaners. the fruit stands luxuriantly laden, the open saloons, the crowded hotels. the police sentinel on his beat with steady tread and the passing throng of beles and beaux, the sky-scraping buildings and well paved streets, all speak wonders for a city so young as Birmingham.

The Money Question.
Q Nashville Banner.

From the Nashville Banner.
 The republicans are desperately anxious to keep alive the money question In the present campaign, but their efforts to that end are of no avail Free silver is dead The coffin nail which Charles Dickens said should be the deadest piece of iron mongery in the trade. is not so fit an em- blem of the state of it's defunctness as Is the contents of the coffin. Free silver is corpse that cannot be revived for a successful political issue.
 As for past party records the republi- cans are almost as deep in the mud as the democrats are in the mire. It is the Cleveland democrats alone who have a consistent record in support of sound money, and MT. Cleveland and virtually all of the old squad that stood with him against the free silver wave that over. whelmed the Chicago convention of 1896 are enthusiastic in their support of Judge Parker. It was while the Cleveland ele- ment of the democracy was il tho ascen- dency that a republican national con yention declared for "bi-mettalism" and denounced the democratic administration flor it's effort to demonetize silver" It was only when the republican party recognized the advantage given 1t by the ascendancy of the radical democracy at Chicago that it decided to become the champion of sound money and then 1t did so tentatively, placing plank in the platform in favor of international bl- metallism.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Power of the speIlbInder.

From the St. Louis Star.
 The impression seems to prevail that the campaign spellbinder has outlived his day-that the newspaper so fully sup plies the political news, together with ar guments pro and con that the stump speaker cuts little or no figure.
 This Is a mistake, for the spellbinder, while his sphere in comparison with that of the newspaper is limited, yet If he really understands his business, exercises an influence impossible for the newspa- per to achieve.
 His business Is not so much to talk politics as to amuse, interest and con- centrate the minds of those who hear him upon the duty of the American cit izen to exercise his right of suffrage.
 In this connection abuse of the opposing party Is never profitable and to accuse 1t of downright dishonesty is equivalent with charging each individual member of being either a fool CT rascal, and most men would prefer to be chased with the latter than with the former.
 1ne true spellbinder always gives the party which he opposes the credit of be- ing honest-for the people are the party
 He can ponit out what he believes to be the mistakes of that party and by apt illustrations-that Is. the submitting of object 1essons-general1y prove his prem ises.
 In national elections 1t Is the principle that governs not the men who are candi- dates.
 The democratic party Is opposed to the protective tariff system, while the repub- llcan party favors 1t, and, really in fact, the two systems of tariff are the only issues in the coming campaign.
 California was carried for Mckinley in 1896 by a single speech, made by a man almost wholly unknown in the state, and that speech was devoted almost who'll ly to the effect of the tariff upon the prin- cple product of the county in which il was delivered.
 The change in that one county gave the state to the republicans.
 Tn this instance the spellblnder, al. though 1t must be said he was not 8 professional, accomplished that which all the republican papers of California had failed to do.
