WEDNESDAY, JULY 12
n..EmrvT ArnKiNLEY has found
the Philippine question a, burden too
heavv to carry, bo he will unload the
responsibility for its settlement
upon Congress. This is not the first
time Congress has had to come to the
rescue of some hard-pressed Admin
istration policy-
Mayob Jones has offered to buy a
pis plant and turn it over to the city
free of charge after the purchase price
has been paid for by receipts from
gas consumers. He has adopted this
plan to demonstrate how easily the
people can purchase and operate
their own public utilities if they but
muster up the courage to do so.
IT is announced that the Presi
dent and Administration leaders
ii rvvnnrrPKR n.iss at the
"expect w oco v..&- --
coming session a bill providing for
. . urt rlfl cfnnfl-
the maintenance ox "' t ---ard,
authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell gold bonds that are
necessary for that purpose, and for
bidding him to give the Government
creditor anything but gold in ex
change, if he desires it, in payment
for government securities." Ana
less than eight months ago the
Administration pretended to be
ardently in favor of having an inter
national agreement to do away with
the single gold standard!
IN BEHALF OF TRUTH,
i Several weeks ago, Mr. Kelley,
member of the Board of Education
from the Third ward, prespnted the
following unique resolution to the
Board:
"Resolved, That a committee of
five members of the Board bo
inslructed to inquire into the con
ducting and management of the pub
lie sclTools. That said committee
u- all possible means to ascertain
the true condition and make a report
witl: recommendations as soon as
possible. The committee to be ap
pointed by the chair."
Believing perhaps that a resolution
of that kind needed some explana
tion, Mr. Kelley said:
"In view of the misunderstandings,
the rumors and the accusations made
against the conduct of our schools,
and having in mind the fair fame of
our schools, I believe an investigation
should be made and truth again
placed on its pedestal."
So the people took the investiga
tion for what it was worth as an at
tempt to have "truth again placed on
its pedestal."
The investigation has been fin
ished. If the people are to conclude
anything from what Mr. Kelley and
certain of his associate members
upon the Board are saying in private,
it is that Truth has not been placed
upon her pedestal.
Here is subject-matter for another
resolution. Will fallen Truth find
another worthy champion? Time
may tell.

CHEERFUL SACKCLOTH.
Some of the Interesting: Fentnres of
Summer ruxhloni.
Special Correspondence.
New York, July 10. Who would
have ever imagined that burlaps would
be classed among the materials for
summer or any other gowns? Sackcloth
and ashes in the olden times signified
sorrow and grief. Now the ladies wear
sackcloth. The ashes they get as a free
gift from the ash cart man as tbey pass
along the street. I imagine that tbo&e
nnregenerate ash cart drivers enjoy
tcattering the asbeg promiscnously
whenever they see a person coming
along half way well dressed. They
never seem to raise such clouds of the
fine and penetrating stuff at any other
time. And how sweetly they smile
whenever they see any person pass to
the leeward. That is the signal for the
small Vesuvius. Well, I have allowed
my sense of personal suffering to get
the better of me. I started in to speak
of the sudden fancy for burlaps as a
dress material
Bnrlaps is made of rough fiber and is
woven loosely like sacking iu fact, it
is sacking. It is generally in a natural
color, between tan and havana brown,
just the color above all others to take
I'.ICII SUMMER ATTIRE.
all sorts of colors well as trimming.
But so far braiding senis to be the
farcred garniture aside from straps and
Btitching. A very pretty model of a
burlap suit will be found in the illus
tration. The skirt is cut with a flared
flounce, and it is overlapped in front
and piped with white down the seam.
Along the front breadth is a light
braided design in white soutache.
I went down to that good and inno
cent place, Ashury Park, yesterday
just to take a look around. I inquired
cautiouely as to what was to be the
prevailing style of bathing snits there
this season. Of course what goes in
Asbnry goes also in Ocean Grove, which
is only a half a city, block away. I was
told that the "panties" are to be of
dark stuff, made like two bags sewed
together, with or without drawing
strings. Preferably with them. These
ought to gather at the ankles, but
somehow the vicious and sinful things
will work up. So they may end by sew
ing them together at the bottom. The
waist portion should be high in the
neck, with a yoke, gathered waist, belt
and half long sleeves. This last is a
concession impossible to imagine as
having come from the deeply religions
anthorities at Asbnry and Ocean Grove.
It is a curious circumstance that while
Asbury is a bright, snappy, up to date
city, with theaters and ice cream par
lors and drug stores, the laws regarding
Lathing dresses and public decorum in
general aie far more stringent there
than in Ocean Grove, which lives and
has its being almost on purpose to draw
together the most religions of all the
country. This is a place where you
couldn't fire a peashooter without hifc
ting one preacher and stampeding a
dozen more. Camp meetings and all
such gatherings are in progress all the
time. And indeed Ocean Grove, with
its delightful shade, cosy little cottages
and the grand old ocean almost meeting
the gardens and the primeval forest, is

Well, at Ocean Grove women wear
whatever they like without restriction;
but, like all things where one has per

privileges. The bathing suits are mod-e-t,

Today I saw a very elegant and de
cidedly novel effect in a summer gown
at one of our leading stores. There was
a dark blue lawn dress, the skirt trim
med around the bottom with soveral
rows of dark bine ribbon shirred on
like ruffles, with a space between each
two rows-. The lawn was in two shades
of blue. The akirt and waist were lined
with red, which gave elusive purple
shades as the folds were displaced.
Over this was a tunic of the new shade
callad violac china crape. This came to
a deep point front and back and was
scalloped. There was a jacket of the
same made seamless over a shaped lin
ing. All edges had a rucbing of the
dark blue ribbon. To match it was a
white straw hat with dark blue crape
shirrings and bow and violac plumes.
Some pink crush roses were set under
the left side of the upturned brim.

Omaha. July 11. Tha Greaier
America exposition is now on in all its
flory, and. judged by the opening
Days, it will be a tremendous success
The gates, which were thrown open
on July 1, will remain open until Nov
1, and through them will swarm mul
titudes of spectators They will find no
dearth of entertainment. The 2,000
acres which compose the exposition
grounds are crowded with things to see
and richly worth seeing not too
crowded, however, for convenience and
pleasing artistic effect.
This exposition i in a measure the
outgrowth of last year's Transmisis-
sippi exposition, though cast in a hoine-
what larger mold and with a much
wider scope. It is no parochial fair,
but as big as its namo implies. By vir
tue of the magnitude and wide range
of its exhibits it has a right to call it
self the Greater America espo'ifion.
The present company acquired by pur
chase the grounds and the twenty or
more large buildings of the exposition
of 189H, which represent an expendi
ture of about ?2,UU0,000. The bnild
ings have been pit in thorough repair
and brightened up generally, eo that
they are as attractive and artistic as
ever. There has been much new con
struction, enlargement of facilities and
improvement of grounds.
The war with Spain was doubtless a
detriment to the exposition of 1808, as
it engraved the attention of thonpanda
of intending visitors and prospective
exhibitois as well as lessened the local
interest. But there are compensations.
The war. which hurt the fair Inst year.
will help to make it a great success this
year. "The trnits of the war" is made
the great card of the exposition,
though in no sense to the disparage
ment of other exhibits. While "the
colonial exhibit" will be a big featnro
and a nwrvelout-Iy attractive and in

many features which will cause the
exposition here in this thriving inland
city to rank among the world's great
fairs.

encampment which was one of the
distinguishing features of the exposi
tion of 1898. Indeed ethnology holds a
prominent place in the exposition this
year, and there is an excellent repre-
cuuiubiuu ui luc 1,10, i.u3iuuja duu en
virons of the aborigines of every sec
tion of Greater America.
A perfect reproduction of a Filipino
village is one of the attractions of the
exposition. It is designed literally to
portray the Filipinos as they are.
About 20 families of natives have been
brought over. There is also a band of
musicians and a troop of performers.
Besides furnishing entertainment
and instruction to the sightseer and
the ttudent, the colonial exhibit has in
it a large element of utility. It will
tend to show the variety of articles
most in demand among the inhabitants
of our newly acquired islands, and
from the uatives can be learned just
what range of American products may
find ready sale there.
Whatever may be the diversity of
opinion as to the wisdom or otherwise
of the so called policy of expansion,
thero is nnqnc.-itionably an almost uni
versal desire for information regarding
these insular possesions. The people
want to judge for themselves, so far as
it is 'possible for them to do from the
knowledge obtainable, whether, a a
result of our war with Spain, we got a
"golft brick" or a "bonrnza." I know
of no better sotirce for ench informa

TRIBUTE
To Memory of Founder
of Chautauqua.
H. H. Moore Urges That His Work be
Kept In Mind.
H. H. Moore, in a letter to the
Cleveland Leader eulogizes the work
of the late Lewis Miller in. organiz
ing and prosecuting the work of the
Chautauqua. He pays a glowing
tribute to the memory of the depart
ed. In part he says :
S"Again the proceedings of the
Chautauqua Assembly are affording
columns of matter for the public
press, and for the thousandth time
historic sketches of this movement
are given, but, strange to say, not in
a single instance that we have
noticed has the name of Lewis Miller
been mentioned a case of "Hamlet."
with Hamlet left out. It was only
last January that Mr. Miller passed
away, and so soon forgotten!
Tho undisputed fact is that the
local Chautauqua idea originated and
was initiated by Lewis Miller, of
Akron, O. For the time spent and
the labor performed he received no
compensation except the conscious
ness of doing good and seeing reared
his own monument. We must not
forget him, but keep his work in
mind and his name fresh and green
for years and years to come.''

BUILDING A NATION.
FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIAN COLO
NIES IS NOW ASSURED.

Special Correspondence
Melbournk, June 1. A new nation
is about to take its place in the sister
hood of nations. The federation of the
Australian colonies is now assured be
yond question, and the first year of
the new century will see a great Anglo
Saxon commonwealth established in
the southern seas. The late action of
New Sontii Wales, heartily approving
the consolidation scheme on a referen
dum vote, removes the last vestige of
donbt as to the snecess of the move
ment, most of the other colonies having
previously expressed themselves in
favor of federation, though in some of
them the referendum is yet to be snb-
mitted. In the colony of Victoria, of
which this city is the capital, the refer
endum will be taken the latter part of
next month, but as this colony has al
ways been in favor of the nnion, in
deed having taken the initiative in the
movement, the final vote will be over
whelmingly in the affirmative. Thus
the world may hail the "United States
of Australia.
While not an independent nation, it
is sufficiently so as to be the master of
its own destiny. Though still loyal to
Great Britain, there is hero an intense
ly national spirit, particularly among
people bcrn in Anstralia and who know
no other fatherland. During the more
than a century since the Anglo-Saxon
occupancy of this vast continent there
has grown up a distinctive Australian
native white population which is proud
of its country and has great faith in
its fntnre. It is this strong element
that has been mainly instrumental in
bringing about federation, and it is
this element which will make the fed
erated colonies a republic should the
political domination of the mother
country ever become burdensome. But
this is perhaps remote. England is not
in these latter days alienating her
colonies. She had an all sufficient lesson
in that direction when over a century
ago she lost the brightest gem in her
cclomal diadani.
It cannot be said that the Austra
lians have acted with undue Trepi
tancy in the matter of federation or
that there has been any of that haste
which is supposed to characterize
young communities. The movement for
federation commenced in the early
sixties, when Sir Charles Gavan Duffy,
then member of the legislative assem
bly of Victoria, was chairman of a royai
commission which sought the passage
of an imperial act permitting two or
more of the colonies at their discretion
to join together. Nothing came of this.
Recently a conference of the six
colonial premiers was held in this city
which cleared away most of th,e diffi
culties which Etood in the way of fed
eration, and there now only remains
the referendum to be taken in some of
the colonies and the approval of the
British parliament .and crown, which
will be readily granted, to complete the
formation of the new commonwealth.
The federation embraces Victoria.
New South Wales, Queensland, South
Australia, 'Western Australia nnd Tos-
GOVEBNMENT HOUSE, JIEI BOUBHE
mania or Van Dieman's Land. Some
idea of the extent of the territory af
fected is afforded by the fact that in
one-balf of it could be placed the whole
of England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark Germany,
Belgium, Holland, Anstria, Switzer
land, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy,
Greece and even Palestine, leaving the
other half open for the reception of
other countries. With federation, Aus
tralia, which is second to no country
on the face of the earth, would become
a power among the nations and would
produce abont the best of all races
something like the true American type,
a mixture of English, Welsh, Scotch
and Irish blood.
The Australian federation will have
a parliament composed or senate ana
house of representatives, modeled quite
closely after the congress of the Dnited
States, except that the senators, sis
from each colony, will be chosen by
popular vote. Many of the constitu
tional provisions have been adopted
from the United States constitution
and others from that of Switzerland,
there being a general desire that the
basis shonld be as broad as possible.
There will be a high court of Anstralia,
but the-right to appeal to the court of
appeals of England will be retained.
The federal government will assume
the collection of all customs and excise
revenue and take possession of the mili
tary, naval defense, lighthouse, quar
antine, postal, telegraph and telephone
appliances. The railroads, however,
will remain the property and under the
control of the several colonies in which
they are situated, although preferential
rates, which has been a great barrier
to intercolonial commerce, will be dis
allowed. One of the greatest benefits
of federation will be the abrogation of
the perplexing and almost ruinous in
tercolonial tariffs.

had a bad cough; I got so bad I had to be in bed
all the time.
" Mv husband thought I had consumption.
lie wanted me to get a doctor, but I told him if
it was consumption they could not help rae. We
thought we would try Dr. Pierce's Gotdcn Medi
