In an article in the North American
Review, Senator Newlands, of Nevada,
writes thus of San Domingo: "Revo-
luton has followed revolution. Re
publican in name, the government is
really military despotism, where one
dictator succeeds another, each possi-
bly, more cruel and more conscienceess
than his predecessor. Moneys are bor
rowed and bonds issued at enormous
discounts. The bonds are floated, the
interest defaulted, and foreign govern
ments, urging the claims of their citi
zens, are met with the prevailing mis-
rule and anarchy as reason for non
payment. Concessions improvidently
granted are withdrawn or interfered
with, and claims arise out Of these"
Not long ago Uncle Sam, as is we'll
known, decided to go down to the in
debted and incompetent little country
and try his hand there as revenue col
lector: hoping in this way in time to
satisfy foreign creditors and keep them
from declaring one Of their peaceful
blockades" with not impossible later en-.

The man who next realized the am

try was Jiminez, but he did not long
remain in the high place. In the five
years succeeding the assassination of
HueureauX, San Domingo averaged a
president year, and four of the five
obtained their places by means of re-
bellion. Gen Morales resorted to arms
to attain his eminence, deposng Pres

Some Ornaments for the Hair

Newer modes are outstanding sprays
of gold and silver wheatheadS inter-
mingled with grasses and we should
speak of the use of other shimmering
adornments; the year has been marked
by spangles and a subdued glitter Of
gold and silver trimmings in dress and
cOiffure decorations follow suit, There
are silver and gold roses silver and
gold foliage, and occasionally the tips
of soft pompom will be touched with
gold or silver. One of the prettiest
and simplest modes Is the use of a
twist of tinsel gau2e across the front
Of the coil. Good gau2o should be
employed, cheap tinsel is a thing TO
be avoided
II may be in place here to speak OF
the arrangement Of the hair The low
coil and braid are not so much in fash
ion now as the hair drawn up well on
the crown of the head The pompa
dour, a nicely modified one, IS the
thing. although the part is seen quite
frequently and when becoming is most
attractive A pompadonr drawn up
pretty well from the sides and falling
over the middle of the forehead is
affected and there may be a little curl
just at the middle We recently no
ticed a pretty arrangement of roses
across the back of a soft knot of hail
piled high on the head.
