J. ALEXANDER, Secretary of State, Now let Mr. Bolmont, beaten by Mr. Blaine in a contest where brains were required, challenge him to a duel at polo. That will always continue to be Mr. Belmont's strongest hold. Puass Couzins is being urged as one of the members of the Utah com- mission.

The pattern was the same in all as far as the band was concerned. The band was a full inch wide, made of fine elastic and covered with beauti- fully-woven silk of every conceiyable shade, pale blues and warm reds pre* dominating. They are designed to match the tint of the dress worn with them. In one case two heart-shaped clasps of colored gold, inlaid with eross-bars of turquoises and pearls, joined the ends of a scarlet band with little frills ot silk along tho edges. The price was 8100, A pair with two oval clasps of hamwered gold, perhaps an inch in length, could be bought for 848, while the cheapest pair, with plain gold clasps was $46. “‘It’s a curious fact,” said the jewel- er, ‘‘that the cheap ones won't sell. When a customer wants an elegant garter, he—1 wean she—is willing to pay for it " A pair that cost $226 had two shields with three big pearls in each and little diamonds at the edges. Another pair was expensive through its delicate lace which was arranged in a flufly bow- knot, with two little gold discs clasp- ing in the centre. At another ‘establishment the jew- eler said: ‘“I'he majority of them are made to order. Your visit.is opportune, as I have just finished the most expensive pair that ever left my factory.

THE OMaHA DatLy Bee very cor- rectly observes, in its issue of Friday last, that the growth of public senti- ment against the menace of monop- oly has “‘more than kept pace with the exteusion of monopoly power.” But this sentiment, although fast tak- ing shape, is a thing of comparatively .| recent growth. The rapidity of its extension is the best procf of the firm | hold it has taken upon the bulk ef the people. Originating obscurely, it now overshadows the union, and there is no room whatever to doubt that, press and people being united, it will become a mighty factor in na- tional politics. The party that ig- nores it, or that fails to cons'ruct its platform in accordance with its spirit, will inevitably go to the wall.
