AN IMPORTANT GATHERING.

The fourth annual convention and
exhibition of the Dressmakers'
Protective association is now in
session in New York city. Before
it adjourns the nation will know
definitely whether or not gussets
are to be worn and how cores
are to be trimmed. 1t will know
whether skirts are to dip in the
back with "belp' finish or whether
they are to be slashed on the side with
bias ruf11es. It will know, too, Wheth-
whether sleeves will be pulled or plain,
and whether shoulders are to be retain
ed or abandoned. In fact, the conven-
ton will decide whether the summer
girl of 1904 is to be early Victorian,
Second Empire or Colonial, and since
spring fashions wait on the announce
ment, The Importance of the convention
cannot be overestimated.
But the dressmakers' convention will
busy itself with even more serious
matters than the fashions. The ques-
lions that are to be come UP for dis
cussion at this convention would lead
a mere man to infev that the dress
makers are not without their grew

confess the last topic is puzzling Is
this moral responsibility mere mat

1t something entirely separate from
the money consideration? A man
owes much to his tailor, but it is
probable that he would discIaim the

LEARNING SOMETHING.

The admitted anxiety of Russia to
placate public opinion in this country
and elsewhere is a good sign. One of
the effects Of this war, particularly
In so far as it is unfavorable to Rus
STA, will be to bring her into closer re-
Iations than she has maintained with
her fellows among nations, and to in
crease her sensitiveness and her re-
spect for that public opinion which
she has hitherto so largely either ig-
nored or defied.
The position of Russia has been one
of proud isolation. Her institutions
are peculiar in Europe and her sys-
tenn OF government extremely little I'M
derstocd il any part of the world. Her
civilization is crude and her racial
tendencies are those of very primitive
people. Confident in her bigness and
her power, she has sought no intimate
associates and has INDUCED that pro-
found contempt which only the mex
perienced feel for the judgment Of
others.
There is nothing like the stress of
misfortune to teach the value of SYM
pathy. = reverse at arms Is scarcely
more irritating to one of the great pow
ers thaa to find itself without an adj
herent or a friend when it is engaged
in a struggle for life and death. The
nation can no more be Indifferent to
the value of international alliances than
the individual can be to his place and
standing among his fellows. Russia
has been surprised. grieved and indig-
nant at the coldness with which the
world at large regards her cause. She
will understand now as she could not
before that this is due to her calm in
difference heretofore to the worlds
opinion.
Her trials and her possible misfor-
tunes will bring her into closer rela-
ton in this respect to the family Of
nations. She will learn that there is
an actual, as well as a sentimental,
value TO human goodwill; and it is
likely that, in conformity with her novel
experience and her new need, she will
insensihiy but materially modify those
social and political traits which are re-
SponSibita for her low standing in Dllb-
lie estimation almost everywhere.

Color Question Engages House.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
In the house yesterday letter was read
from Grover Cleveland to Representa-
tive Webb, of North Carolina, denying
that J. H. Taylor, a negro, had dined
with him at the White house while he
was president, as charged by Repre-
sentative Scott, of Kansas, few days
ago. Mr.. Scott promptly offered his
apology to the former president, say
ing he never before had heard the
statement which he had made denied.
A discussion of the race question fol-
lowed, during which Mr.. Williams, the
minority leader, criticised President
Roosevelt for having invited Booker I.
Washington to seat at his table.
Representative Webb said Mr..
Cleveland had been friend of the ne
gro. but never had held out to him the
hope of social equality Mr.. Williams
said that objection to the appointment
of negroes to positions was met with
the statement that there could be no
discrimination, but asserted that a
Chinaman would not be appointed
postmaster on the Pacific coast.
Mr.. McCIeary (Minn.) cut short fur
Their discussion by a point of order
against remarks not germane to the
bill.
Mr.. Lind (Minn.) complained of ex-
travagance in District of Columbia af-
fairs, asserting that it costs more to
run the District of Columbia than the
entire state of Minnesota.
The house passed the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill and took up
the Indian appropriation bill.
For almost four hours the SEN
ate. while technically engaged on the
naval appropriation bill, discussed
wide range of subjects, including the
policy of the United States in the
Philippine and usso-Japanese war.
The principal participants were Sen
ators Hale, Bacon, Lodge, Depew, Pat
terson, Perkins and Money. Mr.. Hale
criticised the plan of the naval bill as
tending to an establishment beyond the
needs of the country. Messrs. Lodge,
Depew and Perkins defended the naval
officers. Mr.. Lodge declared a large
navy essential to the movement OF
peace. Mr.. Money said he did not re-
gard the total appropriation of $97,-
100000 carried by the bill as excessive
under our present policy in the Orient.
He, however, attacked that policy, as
did other Democratic speakers.

Emancipation Day Celebrated.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-For
the first time since the emancipation
of the serfs in 1861, the anniversary
Yesterday was observed throughout

pen freed 100000 serfs, declaring
that the present celebration may be re-
garded as a turning point In Russian

1T is ALL AN ABUSE.

The debate in the house over an al
legged abuse of the franking privilege,
and the virtuous indignation displayed
by a member when envelopes bearing
his frank were caught in the act Of
carrying matter not entitled to free
distribution through the mails, raises
cynical smile wherever the actual facts
are known. The truth of it is that the
entire ranking privilege has grown
into an abuse of colossal proportions,
that there is no sound or honest spot
in it and that it ought to be swept
away by an impulse of honesty and re-
form.
Since the franking privilege was es-
tablished 1t has been totally perverted
from its original purpose. The first
idea was simply that the servants Of
the public should be entitled to trans
NIT their correspondence on public af-
fairs at the governments expense. It
was simply to do this by carrying free
packages duly stamped by person en-
titled to such favor, and to pay him
for postage stamps purchased and used.
From the first moment, however, the
congressional frank began to cover a
multitude of sins, until now its improp-
er and illegal use costs the government
great sums Of money annually. There
| is nothing, from laundry packages to
| transmitted at the public charge by
authorization Of some Of the most
reckless and constituencies members,
while the use of the frank to carry
campaign documents and to scatter ar
guments in favor of particular individ-
uals or measures has become habitual.
Today the ranking privilege is all evil
and ought to be swept away.
The political air will be wonderfully
purified when congress shall finally
conclude to take the step recommended
| by The Clio b e. This is to cut off and
abolish absolutely and forever every
kind of sinecure and perquisite con-
| nected with the congressional office.
| Let senators and representatives re-
| ceive a salary proportionate to the i'm
portance and value of their work, and
| let that cover everything. The coun-
| try would be no loser financially if ex-
listing salaries were made $4,000 each
per annum, instead of $4,000, and all
| the little CRAFTS were at the same
| time destroyed. Abolish that ancient
| iniquity known as mileage, cut off the
nasty little stationery and supply
steals, do away with the franking priv
ilege, repeal the law authorizing the
employment of clerks at the public ex-
and let each mans salary be his own,
| to live upon as best he may and to
| save what he can without being tempt
! ed for the sake of economy into thou
sand dirty little meannesses that are
| in some respects worse than actual
stealing. 1t is almost a miracle that
senator's and representatives can have
the example that they have and the
persuasive opportunities permitted
them by legalized grating privileges
| and still attain as high a standard Of
personal honor as they do. Why can
not we get rid of all these privileges
that have been abused, pay proper liv-
ing salaries to public servants, and
then cut off every outside perquisite?
