THE FASHIONS FOR SPRING.

Goats and skirts are now being made
of the same material, but they are no
longer fashioned upon lines of almost
geometric severity. The newest mate
rial for these, and one that is rapidly
coming forward is crepe de Chine.
The Tpring coat may be made in any
one of three distinct shapes; one is the
short sack coat, loose and straight,
which was seen last season; another is
modified Russian blouse, somewhat
suggestive of the kimoni; third style
is plain, loose caot with cape.
From presen1 indications, two Tote
worthy features of the new gowns are
likely to prevail. The more important
is the increasing vogue of the
short skirt. The other is the frequent
use of drapery across the front of the
waist.
Too much importance cannot be Civ
en- to the soft, sheer fabrics that lend
themselves so rapidly to the graceful
tlo,, ing lines of the seasons modes.
The voiles and veilings are, perhaps,
in highest favor. Bordered materials
in soft silk and cotton mixtures, sheer
cottons and linen canvas are among the
popular novelties. A CLINT of goldis
introduced in everything. Gold braid,
buttons, cords, frogs and pendants are
some Of the forms of this military dec.
Grafton. Laces that are fine and fimy
are the choice of the moment. The col
ored cotton embroideries are among
the novelties. There are lingerie frills
and ruchings without number for the
sleeves and neck of the fashionable
gown, and buttons are conspicuous. -

In order to allay excitement and sup
press conjecture, the CourierJ ournal
desires to say that whoever receives
two-thirds vote in the next National
Democratic Convention as candidate
for President of the United States shall
receive the support of this paper
If the platform contains matter we
cannot honestly indorse and approve,
we shall repudiate SO much of itas may
meet our dissent, and go on with the
campaign as if nothing had happened.
If the nominee be not to our liking, we
shall discount oar objections and give
him the best the shop has in stock.
There are a dozen possibilities whom
we can heartily support. There are but
three whom we have challenged. Hav-
ing discharged our duty with respect to
Mr.. Cleveland Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Hearst, we are not much concerned as
to the issue. The truth to say, we do
not look to either one of them as the
candidate, nor should we hope for the
election of either one of them, if he
were. But, any halt in the headlong
speed travelled by the Republicans, any
check to the reckless and dangerous
ambition of the present occupant of the
White House, would be distinct gain
to the country and the people.
We are not in the least afraid ia
two-thirds OF the next National Demo.
cratic Convention will be cast for az
unfit candidate, or that any Democratic
candidate receiving majority of the
votes, either as cast by the people or as
counted in the Electoral College, will
be an unfit person to set the clock bach
to where it was when we began oul
break neck journey toward personal
ard party absolutism, expressed 10y

individual likes or dislikes to overcome

Murphy for Grover Cleveland.

Nav York Special to the Banner,
March 18.-Mr. Murphy's attitude is
defined by one of his closest friends,
who said:
"Mr. Murphy now realizes that he
cannot possibly control the State Con-
vention. But he is not going to quit.
He will, in the convention, oppose in
structions, and will be able to make q
showing that will convince Democrats
all over the country that Judge Parker
is not the unanimous choice of the
Democrats of New York. There is no
secrecy or double dealing about his

Mr.. Cleveland can be elected, if nomi-
mated, and that he can be nominated,
if the campaign to that end is properly
managed.
The Brooklyn Eagles staff CORE
spondent wires from Omaha that Mr..
Bryan will not bolt the nomination Of
Judge Parker. There is every proba-
bility that he would bolt the nomination
of either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Hill,
having reasons which his Western as
sociates would justify. It is said here
chat Mr.. Bryan has never contemplated
extreme opposition to Parker. Hi
friends, who say they will act in the
convention as he desires, are, in many
cases, frankly in favor of the Judge
nomination. Much of their friendli
ness arises from the Tammany Cleve
land opposition to the Judge in New
