MR.. TAFT'S BREAK.

O,r President is now swinging
around a great circle, and IS inauig-
inc freely in the freedom OF speech.
In the multitude of words it would
VERGE on the miraculous, ii now ana
then he didn't make a break or
fall from the line OF thoughtful eN-
nression. We confess, however 10
SUNRISE that he should have marred
his maiden speech of the tour deiiV-
ored at the Hub. with so much OF
error as is crowded in one brief SEN
fence.
He was discussing the subject OF
oreat Central Bank, and took occas-
ion to alude to Mr.. Aldrich as the
Glowing financial light of the age and
as friend of this national moneyed IN
stitution. provided, that the control
Of tbe monetary system shall be kept
free from Wall street influences, and
the other that it shall not be manpu-
lated for political purposes. 80
Was Mr.. Taft dreaming when ne
THOUGHT of Aldrich, as statesman with
his back turned on Wall street, and
with power to do things without the
use of money? Or are there two
Aldriches. one known only to the
President and the other to the Amer-
can people? Or has Mr. TAFT started
out ON a Joking junketing party
In letter, though not in speech
Mr.. Taft has recorded himself as out
and out against restricted suffrage IN
the South. and this being so the dog
is dead, " the 'iig is up and Mr..
Taft should eliminate all Southern
States fron, his present itinerary. The
President must have known when ne
was eating that 'possum in Atlanta en-
loving the hospitality Of the good peo-
ple of Augusta. facing that splendid
audience IN Petersburg, that all the
peace and prosperity of the two States
were due to restricted suffrage pr-
marilv and chiefly, and why did he
not condemn the policy then and there
Would he have the work OF
restriction undone, and turn
sie hands of the clock to Southern
progress back for three decades And
this from a Republican President
when the Republicans in Virginia are
rejoicing that the negro has beer
eliminated from politics. ~ and con-
Tossing that it was sad mistake ever &c
have enfranchised him.
This is worse than mere break, Mr.
Taft, and we refrain from commenting
upon it as it deserves to be. To thi:
NAV be added Mr.. Taft's Bird break il
declaring war against the shackleC
West as well as the solid South.
Let the two mighty sections make re
ply by touching elbows, Joining forces
and boldly say Lay on McDuft anC
d--n be he who first cries, hold
enough.
He has been feeding on rich meat
but hasn't grown to be omnipotent.
1t is an honor to work. a disgrace
to be idle That's well said, but st
Paul said it better. If a man won
work. neither shall he eat. 80 Some
folks feel no shame, but no one cal
90 hungry long.

Mr.. Kent, in his opening speech
for the canvass (which was made at
Woodstock, said he would take the
Federal standard of Republicanism as
his in the conduct of Virginia affairs
should he be placed in command.
Forewarned is to be forearmed, and
now that the Virginia voters know the
policy this gentleman would pursue,
they will proceed to bury him so deep
politically that no resurrection horn
win ever sound out loud and strong
enough to wake him. Follow the poll
cies of Republican lawmakers at Wash
ington. and bankrupt Virginia within
one twelve months The mystery IS
that Nlr. Kent should have the cheek
to talk Of economy and in the next
breath avow allegiance to principles
that lead to reckless if not wicked eX-
trSvagance. The eyes of Virginia are
upon YOU Mr. Kent and though
YOU read your speeches in presence
of the people they give evidence OF
careless and thoughtless preparation.

the President to blow his own horn.

THE present styles are very contra

other. the gown made OF thin material
worn in the daytime and very much
looped and caught up. Which are we

one Of these black tunics over white
satin, the circular skirt of the princess
underdresa showing for a good fifteen
or twenty inches. Speaking of circular
skirts, they now are being made much
wider. Last year, If you remember,
they were all under four yards This
season they measure four and q half

Old fashioned fabrics of all sorts, liks

revived with great success. especially
