The New York Senatorship.

We should not lose sight of the fact that
among the prizes in the balance in New
York this year is United States sena tor
ship. Mr.. Depew is candidate to succeed
himself. He IS a young man of seventy.
who likes the Senate, and holds that one
good term deserves another. Washington
life agrees with him. His wife. too, it is
understood, likes politics. and this, of course
will add to his ardor in the present cam
paign. He is the stump rallying the
boys in his own way. and adding to mis-
prestige as popular orator and a party
leader.
There is a disluieting rumor however,
that Gov. Odell has his eye on the place for
himself. He has had ali the honors within
the gift of his people but that. The ma
chine is in his hands. If the republican
state ticket is elected he will be a very
powerful man. and a republican |, gisia-
ture might, yield to him if he should Put
pressure on It, Mr.. Plat is understood 10
favor his colleague, but he was so badly
worsted in the recent state convention by
Gov. OdelI that he may not b., strong
enough to renew the battle to advantage as
early as next winter.
Only a landslide could bring the demo-
Gratis In. But If that should happen there
would be a lively contest for Mr.. Depew g
seat. Bourke Cochran has long wanted to
sit in the Senate He was candidate years
ago when Edward Murphy. jr.. was chosen
and had the Endorsement of Mr. Cleveland
but Mr.. Hill vetoed the suggestion. He
might veto it again. Edward NJ. Shepard
having missed the gubernatorial nominal
ton is now mentioned for the Senate. He
has ability, but lacks popularity. Being
rich, he could afford the office. And there
is Mr.. Sheehan. who in the event of demo
cratic success will be a very influential
man. He. however, would be lkelier to so
into the cabinet.
Except that he says he is going out OF
politics. why not Mr.. Hill? He Knows the
arena well. and would be a capital leader
of the administration on the floor He made
during his one term as senator an enviable
reputation for debating power and dill
gence. He opposed his party on the tariff
bill. but other wise worked kindly in the
traces. His return to the Senate would.
1t is needless to say. be an event interest,"
ing to both parties.

Hawaii's Political Progress.

Ever since the overthrow of the monarchy
i'll Hawaii by the progressive citizens of
the Islands there has prevailed among GER
tain classes of the natives a deep-seated
dislike of the white men. When Hawaii
was annexed to the United States it was
hoped that this act. thus putting an end
to. all hopes of the restoration of the mon
archy. would result for good in the abon-
ton of The race lines and the softening of
the former spirit of hatred for the whites
by many Hawaiians. But for various rea-
sons this sentiment continued, being in fact
diligently fostered ~ few INSCRIPTIONS
native and part-native politicians, among
whom the late Robert Wilcox was conspicu-
Gus. 1t was the wise act of the United
States to continue in office as head of the
new territory the man who had been a
mainstay of Hawaii during the trying days
of republic making. Sanford P. Dole. Gov.
Dole, however, had earned the especial en-
nifty of the radical native Hawaiians by his
part in the overthrow Of the monarchy and
this antagCnism showed itself Indignantly
during the first days of the territorial ad-
ministration. There was never more
lamentable display of political incapacity
than that given by the so-called home
rulers, who controlled the first territorial
legislature, the unWlSely uDerdl eleC-
toral franchise granted by Congress.
In his latest letter to The Star from Hon
o!ulu "Kamehameha." it's correspondent at
that capital. gives evidence that the tide
has turned in Hawaii In this regard and
that the native population now looks IA
vorably upon the rule of the white men. He
believes that much of this good result Is
due to the recent change of governors. And
yet none will yield in loyalty to or admira-
ton for The great work done by Sanford P.
Dole in Hawaii ever since the first move
ments toward the overthrow Of the corrupt
and benighted monarchical rule. The SUBJ
stitution of Gov. Carter for Judge Dole gave
the natives a chance to prove their good in
tentions toward the new sovereignty and
their disposition to learn the enlightened
ways of American citizenship. At the same
time the appointment of Dole to the bench
saved his services to the Islands and Was a
deserved recognition of his valuable knowl-
edge of Hawaii and the Hawaiians
This news from Hawaii is most gratifying
1t means that the territory, having expert
erced legislative disagreement under the
influence of an incapable electorate will
now go forward to develop an intelligent
competent citizenship. Effective co-opera-
ton between the executive and the legisla-
ture and the elimination of the demoralizing
race lines in politics are expected to follow
assuming that present indications are re-
liable. "Kamehameha" bell .yas that Tie
tendency today is toward the formation of
strict party lines similar to those that pre-
vail here on the mainland. This will ensure
clear definition of responsibility and yield
the best possible results.

Mems CraVenetted
Rain Coats.

"Cravenette" is process-not a
cloth-as most correctly pronounced
by a reputable manufacturer. This
process can be, in fact is, applied
to almost all kinds of woven fabrics
-worsteds, woolens, cottons, linen
and silk-making every fiber of the
yarn of any of these cloths rain
proof, regardless of the quality OF
the cloth.
But the real value OF the garment
lies in its general style, trim, fit and
workmanship, and in the quality
and weight of the cloth.
If the coat bears the stamp Of
"Cravenette" it means that rain will
neither wet or spot it-and nothing
more.

tersection with railroads. Nor is the train
that strikes wagonload of dynamite at
such crossings particularly secure Fortu-
nately for the railroads. and doubtless I'M
fortunately for the road-using public. the
great majority of crossing accidents are
disastrous only to the drivers and pedes-
TRANS who get caught on the rails. But
If the embarrassing smash is to become
totally destructive of the railroad property,
as at Cumberland. 1t will soon become ex-
pedient for the corporations to make haste
to safeguard their tracks from the public.
That Cumberland dynamite driver 1t may
be safely assumed, was probably a carefui
man, who would never have driven upon
the track If he had known of the approach
of the train. 1t is therefore equally safe
to assume that he could not see enough OF
the track upon entering it to assure himself
that It was not dangerous. There are
thousands of just such crossings through
out the country where roads debouch upon
tracks without giving drivers warning of
the state of the rails. Trees screen the
track to the very edge of both road and
line Buildings obstruct the view. High
embankments or deep cuts shut or the
vision. Sharp curves conceal the line
trains length away. The country grade
crossing at which a driver can ascertain
the state Of the case in season to be per-
fectly safe In crossing is the rare exception
If country crossings cannot be sunken or
elevated to make accidents absolutely i'm
possible. or if gates cannot be placed at
every crossing at grade, whatever the dis
lance from the city. then assuredly the
laws should be so framed as to make every
such dangerous place a little safer by re-
quiring that for a certain zone about the
tracks at all such places there shall be no
Instructions to the view, of any kind what

or the highway should be moved to yield
this result.

New Fall
COrSetS.

In the current fashions the abso-
lutte correctness of the corset is
more than ever of vital Importance.
Its lines either make or mar the
beauty of the snartly modelled
gown. Our skilled corsetieres have
made close and careful study OF
the individual requirements of differ
ent figures, and with this very thor
ough knowledge, together with the
large varieties of fall styles, they are
enabled to fit perfectly figures of
every proportion. This is done in
less time, at less expense, and, as
rule, far more satisfactorily than in
corsets made to order.
