Just about the most hopeless sign for the future of the uegTo
race was the outbreak against Booker Washington by the negroes
■t Louisville. Booker has l>ecn giving them too plaiu advice. He
told them at that meeting that no legal punishment was too severe
for the wretch who would outrage a woman.
Thu Power ul Muney.
Chlraso Nava.
The reported threat of Jewish financiers to retaliate upon Rus
sian stocks for the persecution of their brethren recalls Bismarck’s
surrender before a similar menace. It was iu 1806, when the Prus
sian government demanded an indemnity of $25,000,000 from the
city of Frankfort. The head of the house of Rothschild there seat
word to Bismarck that if an attempt were made to enforce the levy
the Rothscilds would break every bank in Berlin. Knowing the
power behind the threat, the man of blood and i{on yielded.
Evil Shifted is Nti Evil Cured.
Chailottt Otiiwt. 23rd.
Tbe plan of allowing certain classes of crimtuats to get out of
town does not cure the evil, but merely inflicts upon another com
munity the responsibility of tbeir presence. If tbe Indianapolis
negroes whose presence is undesirable have committed crime they
should be punished for it, aud if there are merely vagrants of
suspicious characters there is also a way provided for disposing of
them without chasing them off. If the Business League’s plan is
to aid the officers of the lap in legally punishing the "Jim Crow"
members of tbeir race, as they have been termed, well and good;
bnt If it merely intends to shift to some other community tbe white
man's burden which has been created within its borders it is doing
harm instead of good.
Still fllaaaa Cl aval and.
W J Hrymn u Chicago lath.
The odinm which Mr. Cleveland’s second Administration
brought upon the party which elected him did more to defeat the
party than any one planlc of the Chicago platform, or even than
all the planks that were most severely criticised. Bnt for the re
pudiation of the Administration, it would have been impossible to
make any campaign at all, and "even the repudiation, thorongh
and complete as it was, could not completely disinfect the party.
The greatest menace that the party has to meet to-day is not
the probability but thr possibility of the party’s return to the po
sition that it occupied from 1892 to 1896. This danger is not so
imminent as tbe corporation-controlled papers make U appear, but
,In so fax os it at all threatens, it paralyses tbe energies of tbe par
ty and 'nullifies its promises. Such a return would indicate a
degradation of tbe party’s ideals and a perversion of its purpose.
The Conclave.
Ntw Yort Him Mad.
The Cardinals who are to perform the delicate and important
function of choosing a successor to the Pope wilt meet in the Vat*
ican 30th of this month. The old custom of coufining each of
them in a separate cell was changed in 1878, at the time of the
election of I«eo XIII, and the rale then adopted of giving to each
Cardinal a suite of two or three rooms will donbdess be followed.
But the seclusion will be formally of the closest. The doors wili
all be closed leading into the outer world, save one. which will Be
locked so soon as the conclave begins, no one being admitted save
a belated member of the college, and no one permitted to leave
except because of illness. The sudent rules seemed to have been
baaed on much the same notion of securing a verdict aa prevails
in our jury system. Not only are the Cardinals put tinder lock
and key—hence the word conclave—but if at the end of three days
no conclusion had been reached the old regulations required that
only one dish should be served at each meal for the next five days.
And if thla process did not sufficiently clarify the minds of the
members of the conclave they were thereafter confined to bread
and water or wine. Pressure of a more effective sort is now felt
by the Cardinals and the former starving treatment is no longer
pursued.
Th# Poet's Farewell to Uio.
tat* William Snmt RhWt,
So let me heace as one
Whose part in the world has been dreamed out and done:
One that hath fairly earned and spent.
In pride of heart and jubilance of blood,
Such wages, be they counted bad or good,
As Time, the old taskmaster, was moved to pay;
And, having warred and Buffered, and passed on
Those gifts the Arbiters preferred and gave,
Flare, grateful and-content,
Down the dim way,
Whereby races innumerable have gone.
Into the silent universe of the grave.
Grateful for what bath been—
For what my band hath done, mine eyes have seen,
|fy heart been privileged to know:
With all my lips la love have brought
To lipe that yearned in love to fhem. and wrought
In the way of wrath, sod pity, and sport, and tong:
Content, this miracle of being alive
Dwindling, that I, thrice weary of worst and best.
May abed my dnds, and go
From right and wrong,
And, oeaaiag to regret, and long, and strive,
Accept the post, and be for ever at rest.
$S»jm OH CLOTHES.
A Woman Canid Easily Spend
that Mach If aha had It
New York Tehama.
The extravagance, absorption
and idiosyncrasies of women iu
matters of dress were the subject
of comment to-day by a fashion
able customer of this city.
"Indeed," said lie, "women
can and do put any amount of
money into their wearing ap
parel. .Five thousand dollars a
year will dress any -woman as
well as she ought to care to be
dressed, yet there arc those who
expend os much as $50/XX) a
year in this way, 1 suppose.
"I know," declared this man,
"that Mrs. Howard Gould pnt
$30,000 into clothes in one mere
season, and this did not include
liugerie, hose, boots or perfume.
"it is an eas • matter to do
this if one buys imported gowns
and wraps and uses real lace and
b a a d embroideries. Why,
designers abroad will charge
importers $800 for a gown. After
the 60 per cent duty lias been
paid aod charges for alteration
taken oot the gown must be sold
here for at least $1,200 in order
to make any profit. Women
who bay sach clothing think
nothing of purchasing fifteen or
twenty hats and putting $2,000
or $3,000 into them.
"When it comes to laces aod
fora one can sink any sum; lace
that has to be ordered three
years in advance of the time it
is wanted takes more than two
figure to cover its cost per yard;
she who wears a sable coat cau
put an entire fortune into that
one article. Thirty thousand
dollars is au ordinary price to
pay fot such a garment.
"Ordinarily, evening gowns
■ucli as ore bonght by well-to-do
persons in this city, cost from
$125 to $300. Tailor-insde suits
can be well gotten up fut $150.
I mean by this the regular street
with its elaborate em
ery, for the absolutely plain
tailored suit is now used onlv
for golfiog.
"Where women put the very
jarge sums into their spparel it
is often the result of some whim
or fad. and frequently raauy of
the things they buy are never
put on their backs. Those that
are worn do duty but once or
twice.
"I used to have a customer
who spent the afternoons of two
day each week from 1 to 5
o’clock in just buying and buy
ing new things. She had a
mania for dreas. Still another
has told me that often she would
get np at 3 o’clock in the night
and try on a dress, because the
idea bad struck bet that she
conld improve it in some detail.
"Again, there are persons who,
having found a style that they
think u becoming, will cling to
it season after season, and have
each successive garment model
led like it.
CmiU la the Act.
FhSUddpfaU Ledger.
A good many amusing stories
are told at the expense of ser
vant girls and domestics general
ly, but this which comes from
Chestnut Hill is at the expense
of the mistress rather than the
maid. It was a new servant girl,
who was, as a rule, truthful, but
who would tell a harmless white
fib when her mistress required it.
One day the rector called, but
for mow reason the lady did not
wish to see him. Answering the
bell, the maid very politely said
lierjmistress was out.
Now in the drawing room,
leading directly from the front
ball, there was a folding screen
which stood two or three inches
from the floor. Behind this the
isdy secreted herself.
"So your mistress is out?"
mildly said the minister.
"Yes- sir," answered the maid.
"Well,” remarked the caller,
as be looked toward the drawing
room, "the next time your mis
tress goes out will you kindly
suggest that the take her feet
with her ?"
few nights ago minks visited
the hennery of Mr. James Dither
who live, about three miles west
of Winatoo, and killed 54 young
chickens. Next morning Nr.
Disher secured a pack of bound*
and trailed the minks to a creek
bank on his plantation, kilting
five large ones.
