1t is many years since silks have had
the prominence that is given item this

worn even at very swell functions-all
depending upon the way they are made
and trimmed-the best dresses for all
occasions where handsome effects are
desired will be made of the new and
superb silks. I knew when | saw the

OF course the next national meeting Of
this great order should be held in the CAPT
tai of the United States. Washington is
the best convention city among all the
cities of the new world. It has accommo-
dations for immense crowds. is central be-

1t can house a crowd that would swamp

expand for their comfort.
Washington presents attractions for con-
ventions that no other city can. About
the only thing to be said against WASH

SO many charms that delegates are some
times tempted to neglect their convention
duties. When Washington gets a wonder

Higgins and Hughes.

The best-kept secret of the day is. does
Gov. Higgins desire denomination. and
if so, will he get it? He has been in the
limelight for months. and interr0gated al
most weekly on the subject. His every
act has been searched for clue. Still
doubt remains. He parties all questions
with the skill of politician. He has strong
claims upon his party, and if he runs should
make a good race. But there is persistent
rumor that he would prefer to retire and
have his party make nomination at Sara
toga which would be free from all factional
complaint. If not Higgins, will the candi-
date be Hughes? Another well-kept secret.
Mr.. Hughes is as cautious as the governor
in his outgivings on the subject. If the
suggestion of his name has produced a fut-
ter in his bosom he has not betrayed the
fact by anything he has said or done.

Maine.

Tie republican candidates are elected In
Maine by reduced pluralities. All of them
suffered Gov. Cobb and the congressional
nominees alike. In both houses of the legis-
lature the democrats will have increased
strength.
Not in years has the temperance question
stirred the people as it did in this cam
pagn. Every speaker discussed it, and
every voter seems to have weighed it. 1t
entered into the national as into the state
calculations. That is to say so far reach
ing were the divisions occasioned by it that
the congressional candidates felt them to a
degree almost equal to that of the state
candidates.
Mr.. Littlefield ascribes the reduced vote
In his case to this cause rather than to the
opposition of Mr.. Gompers. He would be
slow to make any admission in any circum-
stances that would give Mr.. Gompers any
comfort. but the figures of other districts
seem to bear out his contention Union
labor directed its efforts solely against
him, but he seems to have Jared but little
worse than his colleagues in the House,
Messrs Allen and Powers. both Of whom
lost heavily as compared with the figures of
four years ago, and yet neither of whom
was opposed by Mr.. Gompers. The truth
about the prohibition law and it's execution
and the republicans had to fight for their
lives.
This result keeps Maine in line and adds
senator and four representatives to the
republican strength in the next Congress-
1t is something, too, that the senator, Mr.
Frye, Is one of the ablest and most popular
men in his party, and a legislator of thirty
odd years experience. His defeat would
have been public misfortune as no demo-
crat in Maine, however worthy of his
party's support, could have served his state
or the country as Mr.. Frye will continue to
do in an office for which he possesses in an
eminent measure every qualification.
And in the next House, if the republicans
control it, Mr.. Littlefield will probably be
as prominent as he is in the present one.
