FOR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Obio ¥OR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A, HOBART, of New Jersey Election November 3, 1896, | Come down, Mr. Laumeister. Regular Republicanism holas the fort. Now is the time for loyal Republicans torally to tue standard. ‘Where Democracy is in power it hits Populism with a club, and where it is weak, it tries the bunko game. The Democratic vote has fallen off even in Georgia. Nothing seems to be sticking to Bryan except Tom Watson. Unwise politics brought distress upon the country, but wise politics will re- deem it by the election of McKinley. The history of the country shows that a Republican victory is always followed by good business, and that is what we shall have this year. If Bryan should be elected and under- take to make his cabinet from among the men wio have taken the stump for him it would be a menagerie. Demcerats who are trying to get work- ingmen to vote for them ought to explain what their party did for American labor when it was trusted pefore. Secretary Morton is despondent over the outlook, and certainly not without cause, for his dearly loved free-trade Democracy has been smashed to smithereens. You may call Robert Ingersoll a silver- tongued orator, but don’t forget to note that his words are golden, and that the money he advocates, like his argument, is sound. The gold Democrats have fortunately secured a place for their ticket on the offi- cial ballot, and now conservative Democ- racy will have a chance to show iow much it amounts to. If the new charter should be adopted | the Mayor would be almost an autocrat, and San Francisco cannot afford to take chances with a Buckiey or a Rainey can- didate with such prospects. The Georgia Democrats treated the Populists of their State in the stame way that Bryan has treated Watson, and if the Populists of Catifornia are wise they will derive a profit from the double lesson. While we were not told what kind of | meat was served at the Democratic barbe- | cue at Santa Rosa the presumption is that it was mutton. Democracy is never so enthusiastic as when downing a sheep. By omutting to file a list of their nomi- nations in time the Stanislaus Democrats have a providential chance to keep off the official ballot and avoid the tidal wave. It is sometimes of advantage to be asleep. The attempt of W. F. Taylor to answer Congressman Butterworth at San Diego must have been well worth hearing. A monkey is no match for a lion, but when- ever he attacks one he is pretty sure to be amusing. According to the decision of the Su- preme Court the ticket headed by Colonel Taylor is the recuiar Republican ticket in this City, and there should be no more dispute among Republicans about sup- porting it. Chairman Danforth of the Democratic State Committee in New York is reported to have eaid Senator Hill will support Bryan, but will not make a public state- ment nor take the stump. What kind of | support is that? In his address on Thursday evening Mr. Phelan excused himself for speaking by Josh Billings’ argument, “Blow your own horn or the same it will not be blown,” | thus doing a real injustice to the blowing abilities of his friend Rainey. The attacks made by the Bryanite press on Geperals Sickles, Alger and Howard have proven to be roorbacks of the worst kind, and the fusion managers are wishing now that they could shut up some of the blatherskites that are talking and writing for them. e What grinds the Populists is the grow- ing consciousness that in fusing with REGULARITY SURTAINED. The Supreme Court has sustained the claim of the ticket headed by Colonel Charles L. Tavlor to be the rightfnl and regular Republican ticket in this City. Thus by the court of last appeal has Re- publican regalarity been maintained. The controversy over that issue isatan end. If any who call themselves Republicans continue in opposition to the ticket headed by Colonel Taylor they can do so only as avowed bolters and foes of the party or- ganization. The bistory of the controversy is fa- miliar to the public. The convention by which Colonel Taylor and his colleagues on the ticket were nominated was called by the Republican County Committee, and every action taken by it from its organization to its close was in strict accordance with party law and precedent. The title of the nominees of the conven- tion to a place on the official ballot as the Republican candidates was disputed, but was decided by Registrar Hinton in their favor, Anappeal was taken to the Re- publican State Central Commuittee, and that impartial body of Republican leaders representing all parts of the State sus- tained the ticket with but a single dis- senting voice. The Supreme Court was the only other authority to which the controversy could be carried, and that eminent tribunal has now spoken sustain- ing the decree of the Registrar and} con- firming that of the State Central Commit- tee. Tre CALL can justly congratulate all loyal Republicans on this termination of a prolonged and disturbing controversy in the party. From the first, THE CALL upheld the cause of the regular ticket on the broad ground that regularity is essen- tial to party cipline, organization and success. It hasbeen clear all along, mere- over, to intelligent Republicans that vic- tory could be attained only by harmony in the ranks and the cordial co-operation of all members of the party working together within the organization and in support of the nominees named by the regular convention, which represented the historic continuity of the party in.San Francisco. The decision of the Supreme Court puts an end to all doubts and questions con- cerning the right of the regular ticket to stand 8s the representative of San Fran- cisco Republicanism. The one plain duty of all Republicans is now to support that ticket. Loyal hearts cam win a sweeping victory. Democracy is divided and de- moralized. A united Republican party has before it an opportunity for an unpre- cedented success. Let us turn from party dissensions and go forward. Let us elect Colonel Taylor, give San Francisco a good government, and assure the elecioral vote of California to McKinley and Hobart. Our opponents say to one audience that our dollars are too dear, and to another audience they say the new free coinage of silver dollars will be just as good as the present silver dollar. Now, if this 1s 80, it will be just as dear as the present dollar. We want good money in this country, and we want good morals in this country, and we want public and private honesty in this country, and we do not propose to be a Nation of repudi- ators.—McKinley. DEMORALIZED DEMOORACY. The demoralized condition of the Demo- cratic party of California is a fit subject for the thoughtful consideration of all citizens, no matter to what political or- ganization they may adhere. That the Democratic party is rent in twain is due to the fact that an overmas- tering hunger for possible success led a bosterous and numerically powerful fac- tion of the party to indorse theories and isms foreign not only to the true princi- ples of Democracy, but antagonistic to the fundamental truths of American stat manship. The shifty temporizers of the Demo- cratic party, those who were willing to sacrifice principle and the honest convic- tions of a lifetime for the glittering bau- ble of a popular campaign motto, stood stolidly by and watched the old Demo- cratic party go to ruin by indorsing all the cranky ideas of the Populistic party, with a few anarchistic and revolutionary senti- ments added by way of variety. ‘When the overanxious and not too scru- pulonsadvocates of ‘‘success at any price” allowed their party to venture in these dangerous regions they were blinded to the ruin which threatened, and which men of finer sensibilities would have rec- ognized beforehand. The furious demagogues, who, with in- sult and contumely, drove from the Chi- cago convention all men who would not agree with them and Mr. Bryan on the financial question, could not foresee that they were inviting defeat instead of securing victory. Yet so it is. They fina themselves without sufficient funds to pay the legitimate expenses of the campaign because their former finan- ciers and supporters are now arrayed against them. The state of the Bryanized Democratic party in California illustrates the condi- tion of that party throughout the country. Bereft of the brainy, resourceful men of their party the shouting demagogues are everywhere struggling amid financial and intellectual penury. The Bryan men are dazed by this turn of affairs. . They are unable to understand how others should be more obedient to the ethics of political life than they. It 1s a hard lesson and it is being sorely pressed upon the minds of the Bryanistic min- | fons. The old Democratic ship was somewhat weather-worn and storm- beaten to be sure, but it was still seaworthy to a con- siderable degree and with its former vet- eran crew, inspired by the principles which had perpetuated its existence for nearly a century, it had a fighting chance in the Presidential battle now raging. With an inexperienced pilot at the helm, with raw lubbers aboard and with compass and charts cast adrift, thers is a certamnty of disaster at the close of the voyage. So far as the genuine Democrats of the coun- try are concerned the salvage from the wreck will not be worth mentioning. In twenty-six years we have collected from the tariff $4,200,000,000. That is an appalling sum. Our people have paid out to foreigners for foreign shipping about $4,100,000,000. The larger part of this vast sum of money could have been paid to our own people. It should have been kept in our own country, and would have been if we had extended the proper protection to American ship- Democracy they have allied - themselves with the worst elements of that party. They hoved to combine with decent Demo- crats, and behold they find themselves in the camp of Buckley. Bereft of its brainy men and its finan- cial supporters, the Democratic party of California is compelled to rely on a news- paper for a subscription to carry on the campaign. Hitherto the newspapers went to the campaign committer for funds, This “reversal of form” is something new in California politics. ping.—Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, United States Senator of West Virginia. e i S T ATTENTION, MR. LAUMEISTER. As a Republican representing a li‘kfi nominated in opposition to the regular Republican ticket in this City you occupy, Mr. Laumeister, a position that is by no means enviable. It is a position, however, which affords you an opportunity to give a convincing proof of your fidelity to the welfare of the City and your loyalty to the Republican party. Profit by that oppor- tunity and you will emerge from your awkward position with honor, Neglect it, and your political career will be virtually closed. You have received honors and favors from the Republican party in the past, It has twice elected you to the office of Sheriff. In the days when you received those favors at the hands of Republicans you were most earnest in urging all mem- bers to support and maintain party or- ganization, Why are you less earnest now? There are reasons for believing you are not without political ambitions which look to the future. These may be just and legitimate, we do not aispute it, but can you with any fairness or equity ask a united Republican support hereafter if at this juncture you swek to divide and weaken the party whep with union vic- tory would be within its grasp? You bave before you good examples to guide you to right action. Horace Davis retired from the position you now hold when he saw it threatened Republican success. Mr. Sonniag, who was chosen to succeed him, loyally bowed to the author- ity of the State Central Committee and declined to lead a faction in opposition to its decision. These men walked the plain path of political duty. What do you in- tend to do? You know you cannot be elected. You know you can only aid the Buckley or the Rainey Democrats to de- feat Colonel Taylor. Are you willing to do that? Mr. Laumeister, all loyal Republicans expect you to retire from your false posi- tion. They expect you to act like Mr. Davis and Mr. Sonntag, in the interests of party harmony. They expect you to as- sist in defeating the Democratic bosses and in electing Colonel Taylor. The path of duty is plain. It is easy to walk, and it leads to honor and preferment. ‘We intend to support this Government by taxes upon foreign imports and in- ternal revenue, and we Intend to have enough revenue in the public treasury, if the people elect us to power, to pay our bills. The Government is just like an individual—when it has not enough Income to pay its expenses it has to give its notes to raise money. 1t has to do that or quit business; and when the Government of the United States has not enough money to pay its running ex- penses the only thing it can do Is to bor- row money; and that is what has been done for the last three and a ha'f years That is what we propose to stop.—Mec- sinley. A LESSON FOR POPULISTS. The Populists of Catifornia can find a profitable lesson in the news from Georgia, if they are wise enough to heed it. The Democrats of that State, secure in their power and able by their absolute control of the entire electoral machinery to count out and to count in whom they choose, have shown how much they care for Pop- ulist fusion. They are willing to use it in National affairs to elect a Democratic Presi- dent, but they are not willing to give it any share of the spoils.., In weakness, Democracy takes the trouble to bunko the Populists, but in power it settles them with a bludgeon. The treatment of the Populists by the Democrats of Georgia 1s not essentially different from the treatment of Mr. Wat- son by Bryan and his Democratic man- agers. To all arguments of Mr. Watson they have turned a deaf ear. They have ignored him. They have humiliated him, as far as a brave man can be hurailiated by tricksters and traders who, secure in the possession of power, are able to defy all that can be said or done by persons who have no other weapons than those of reason and justice to defend themselves from wrong and spoliation. The Populist’s fight is none of ours. If sincere Populists know any reasons why they should surrender their party ma- chinery, as well as their party principles to Democracy, it is right for them to fol- low those reasons. When one considers, however, that Populisin and Democracy occupy ihe opposing poles of our politics, and that no men in the past have been more bitter in denouncing Populists than the Democratic leaders, it is aifficult to understand what reasons the Populists can find for an alliance with their old foes. All that is apparent on the face of itis that certain Populist candidates for office hope to attain that office by Dem- ocratic votes, and that Democratic candi- dates, possibly for the same offices, hope to succeed by Populist votes. There are trades here and there which can probably be fairly carried out, but the trade as a whole is bound to end in the confusion of one of the parties to it. It scems clear from what has happened in Georgia that Southern Democrats are determined that the confusion shall not be on their side of the house. We propose that the money of the country, whether in its various forms of silver and gold, shall, every dollar of it, be kept at a parity with every other dollar. We propose that there shall be no distrust accompanying the dollars, paper or coin, that this Government emits or authorizes. We belleve that these things will restore the prosperity we have lost. We propose to maintain against every assault the constitutional right and duty of the President of the United States to enforce all National laws without asking the consent of the Governor of any State. We propose that the Federal judielary shall be kept in full and dignified discharge of every duty that the constitution confides to it.—Benjamin Harrison. “THE SUNDAY OALL" To-morrow’s edition of Tar Cary will be one more example of a true Califor- nian Sund2y newspaper. The qualifying adjective is by no means one of limitation, for THE SUXDAY CALL admittedly ranks with the very best Sunday newspapers in the world. We consider the adjective as distinotive and at the same time a dis- tinction, for at all times and in all issues THE CaLL is distinctively the business and the home newspaper of California. It craves no higher distinction; it could bave no higher ambition. But thisisof THE Carn in general. Now a word of THE Suxpay Carr of October 11 in particular. There will be some novel and attractive features in this issue that you cannot afford to miss reading. If you want jour- nalistic freaks and fakes or the cheap syndicate matter turned out by the East- ern bureaus, of course you will not care for Tue Suxpay Carnr. But if you have a taste for the novelties in art, literature and science; for strange, out-of-the-way facts and fancies of genuine human inter- est; for good literature handsomely illus- trated, and for all of the news of the wide world impartially and fairly portrayed, then it is THE CALL you want on Sunday morning if you are a residentof or a visitor to California. A few of the more important of to-morrow’s features are enumerated as follows An Artificial Paradis Do Things ‘“Just Happen” Without Cause? The Man Who Gathers Skulls for a Liv- ing. A California Artist in Holland and Bel- ginm and a XVI Century Aubrey Beardsley. A Phantom Dog and a Major’s Son. Encounters With Forest Monsters. Live Bats Found Embedded Deep in the Earth, The Death and the Gold of an Alviso Miser. Some Plain and Fanciful Types of the New Woman. To Judge the Brain Power of the Horse. ‘Women With Shattered Nerves and the Medicine Habit, Telegraphing Without Wires. § Some Secret Appliances of Modern War- are, The War of the Milliner and the Man- ager, This is, of course, far from a complete list of all the features, and aside from the new features are the not less popular reg- ular features, such as Whist, In Child- hood’s Realm—always bright and full of interest for the young folks—fashions, Society, Books, etc. _ PERSONAL.

CAMPAIGN ECHOES. An esteemed contemporary belleves that David B, fi1ll is a goose. This is an ornithol- ogical mistake; he is a duck, and a dead duck at that.—Kansas City World. There are three kinds of bugs in the present campaign—the goldbug, the silver-bug and the humbug—and Candidate Bryan is two of them.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Boy Orator of the Platte could getinto the midét of large crowds with less trouble and expense if he would take up his station at Canton, Obio.—Kansas City Journal, Present appearances warrant the prediction that a month hence Willlam Jennings Bryan ‘will have ample grounds for a suit against the Democratic party for non-support.—New York Mail and Express, Uncle Richard Bland’s cheerful voice is also missing from the Popocratic chorus. If these desertions continue it will be only & little while until the whole free-silver outfit consists solely of Mr, Bryan and Jake Coxey.— New York Mail and Express. The voters of this country will commence to “roll” Mr. Bryan very early on the morning of November 3, and they will continue the work until sundown of' that day. By that time Mr. Bryan will have been resolved into s condition of tenuitly not witnessed in the case of acandidate for President since 1872.—St. Louis Globe-Demoerat, In his speech at Chicago which won him the nomination Mr, Bryan made a bold figure as he stood before the convention, and, speaking ofthe people of the - East, said: “We beg no longer; we entreat no more; we petition no more. We defy them!” Last week thisde- fiant individual was going around-in the East making speeches in which he begged the women to get their husbands to vote for him.—Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.). AROUND THE CORRIDORS. H. Prickett, conductor of the Sonora Rail- road from Guaymas to Carbo, & distance of 135 miles, and who is interested in a silver ming in Sonore, now closed because of the present price of silver, is at the Grand Hotel. Mr. Prickett is an old railroad man, and was formerly for elght years with Texas Pacific. He says the American conductors in the part of Mexico where he is receive $180 & month in Mexican money. ‘For use in Mexico,” he said, “it is worth rather more than $100 in gold in this country. Of course. an American buys very little there, All his clothes come from this side and uearly every- thing else; but if a man wants a meal—dinner, say—it costs him 35 to 50 cents in Mexican money, which makes it cheaper, really, than itis here. But, generally speaking, the hotels are not so good as here. “The Mexican people—those who labor— want this money to be worth more, so that they can buy more. There is a good deal of interest in the silver contest as developed in the United States. Some think one way and some another as to whether free silver here would be of advantage to Mexico. “Guaymas now has apout 8000 people. It is a pretty prosperous town. The main objec- tion I have to it is that it is so hot. Itis there just about as it is on the Mojave desert. “There are a good many oranges raised in that part of Scnora now. The season is about seven weeks ahead of California. The oranges which will go East on the Sonora Railroad this year will amount to about 160 cars.” Mr. Prickett is here for a few weeks’ vaca- tion, after long service in the hot regions of Mexico. Letters From the People. DUTY OF CALIFORNIANS. No Citisen Should Support the Party of Free Trade and Repudiation. Editor Call: In the Presidential election of 1896 I think it is the duty of the people of the State of California to cast its electoral vote for the Republican ticket to repay a debt of grati- tude it owes to the memory of Califor- nia’s greatest champion in her hour of greatest need, James G. Blaine, when he stood by you and fought for your rights and to protect you against the free-silver hordes of "Asia. Are you going to forget his services in your behalf and follow the banner of the budding states- man of the Platte ? Are you willing to follow the banner of the party that has caused the American people to be in misery and want for the last three years, a party that has eithera new flag or a new free issue to give youin every campaign since 1860 ? In 1860 it came out and opposed the restric- tion of slavery and made the threat which it kept: “That if the Republican party elected Abraham Lincoln it would establish a brand- new republic, with a brand-new flag and a new seat of Government at Richmond, Va., with & brand-new system of free coinage: and they did have plenty of it and its greatest ism, free trade, saying we, the Democratic party, shall protect and shield American labor by meking the cornerstone of our new Democracy human slavery, and the keystone of the arch asectionin its constitution to show its love and affection for labor and industry, prohibit- ing protection in its own home industries and manufactures.

Or do you want to be reduced to the level of the laborer of India, ‘whose only covering to his body is & turban and breecheloth, or to the condition of a Chinaman, whose only garment is & blouse and a pair of drawers?

Do you, the workingmen of America, want to go on the gallows, stand on the deathtrap of destruction to American labor and to be hurled into financial eternity from which there is no resurrection? Are you willing to follow the principles of the true friends of American labor—Lincoln and Blaine—in preference to the so-cailed po- litical principles of Bryan, dictated by an Altgeld or a Tillman?

SILVER TRUST CONSPIRACY Its Object and Prospective Profit Stated by an Official. New York World. Thomas 8. Merrill, secretary of the Bi- metallic League ot the silver States, haslet the catout of the bag as to the conspiracy of the silver mine owners to unload their bullion on the United States Government fn a letter hesent to the Salt Lake Herald. Mr., Merrill says In his letter: “If Bryan is defeated we must expect to see silver sold at a price that will be given it simply by its demand for use in the arts, which will certainly be not more than 40 centsan ounce. In view of these facts, the owners of silver-producing properties can affora to con- tribute at least the additional profits they re- celve from their own silver product for one month to the Bryanite campaign.” He closes with & direct appeal to well-knowa silver-mine owners, as follows: “I appesl to Messrs. McIntyre & Cunning- bam of the Mammoth, Keith & Kearns of the Silver King, Chisholm and others of the Cen- tennial and Eureka, Ryan & Knox of the Ajax, Packard of the Eureka Hill, Daly of the Daly, West, Beck and associates of the Bul- lion-Beck, Farnsworth & Sharp of the Horn Silver, and the owuers of the Sioux, Ontario (W.

Under free coinage the additional PR the mine-owners would have been 3,755, 280, The Governmentof the United buées, the people, not even the miners who dug the si.ver out of the mines would have ae- ceived one penny of this additional profit. Tt would have been pure velvet to the mine- owners. 2 The Utah mine-owners organized last Friday nightand formed themselves into & strong alliance for mutual profit.

The committee is composed of thirty-three members, includ- ing those mine-owners whom Mr. Merrill directiy addressed — Messrs. Daly, Packard, Beck, Knox, McIntyre, Kearns, Farnsworth, Cunningham, Chisholm and Merrill himself. This commitiee organized at once with R. C. Chambers, president of the Sait Lake Herald Company, & prcminent iree-silver organ, as chairman. Mr. Chambers, Mr. Hearst and Mr. Tevis are the prineipal owners of the Outario and the Daly silver mines, which together have paid over $16,000,000 in dividends in re- cent years. WHERE GRANT STOOD. New York Recorder. Grant was elected in 1868, and Grant, like all the other great leaders of the Republican party, telieved in maintaining an honest standard of money payment, and in keeping sacred the pledged honor of the natton with every man, foreigner or native, who held its bouds, its paper money, or its obligations of any kind whatsoever. So when Grani came to write his first inaugural this is what he said about it: **A great debt has been contracted in secur- ing tous and our posterity the Union. The payment of this principal and interest, as well as the return to specie is as soon as it can be accomplished without material detriment to the debtor class or the coun- try at large, must be provided for. ' To Kxolect the National honor every dollar of jovernment indebtednesss should be paid in goia, unless otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. Let it be understood that no re- pudiator of one farthing of our public debt will be trusted in public piace and it will go iar toward strengthening a eredit which ought to be the best in the world, and will ultimately enabie us to replace the debt with bonds bear- ing less interest than we now pay.” That is where Grant stood on the money is- sueof 1868. In the same inaugural he recom- mends the Tesumption of specie payment, and it was his pen that gave the force of law to the resumption act of 1875. Noteven Bryan has dared to claim Grant as a Po crat. And where Grant stood in 1868, ana from that time on till the re- sumption act was signed, William McKinley stands to-day—ior the good of the Nation and the honesty of its money. Next November it will be found that the American people are ;tnlndlng there, too, and by a very large ma~ jority. . THE FREE VUICE OF LABOR. Los Angeles Express.

F., Oaklana, Csl There is no such word in the English language as “phantomnation,” although it appears in the dictionaries. Pope wrote ‘‘The phantom nations of the dead.” In the setting up of the line it appeared as “The phantomnations of the deud,” the two words not having been “spaced” and the error not being discovered by the reader of the proof. Without inquiry the word ‘was taken and placed in an English dictionary as a title-word with a definition, and credited to Pope. The definition given is “an illusion, appearance of as a phantom,” and it is announced as ‘‘obsolete,” *‘rare.’’ This is a surprising illustration of the self- perpetuating power of & compositor’s error. ETiquertE—C. H., City. The rules of etl~ quette say: “Always bow to any one who has any claim of recognition upon you. This should be done promptly s soon as the eyes meet. Do not wait to see whether the other individual is going to bow or not. That does not matter so far as your duty is concerned. This rule should be invariable for either lady or gentleman. The decree which demands that & lady should always bow first 1o a gen- tleman is fast growing obsolete and is absurd, If there be a mutual recognition why should not the bow be simultaneous? If the gentle- man has been introduced to the lady snd recognizes her while she does not promptly recmgl him to her memory, why should he not Dby a courteous bow remind her of his claim 1o her consideration? When it is remembered that the acquaintance need go no further, un- less she chooses, the reason for the old rule falls to the ground. 70 return a bow commits no one to nearer fellowship, unless the lady ‘desires, and therefore it is simple courtesy for the gentleman to bow at once with greater or less cordiality, according to the degree of scquaintanceship. Of course & lady should never wait for & recognition be- fore offering it herself. A gentleman should always lift 1is hat to & lady, and 1f smoking, must remove his cigar from his mouth before bowing. To do oglerwxse is a rudeness. If walking with a lady, a bow made to her must also be acknowledged by the gentleman, al- though the one bowing is a stranger. Never fail to return a bow, even though you think it & case of mistaken identity. It is possible that you may have failed to recognize some one who has a claim to recognition, but in any case it is but a simple act of courtesy.” If a lady has been introduced by a mutnal friend to a gentleman, each has & claim of recogni- tion upon the other the next time they meet, be it on the street orin a parlor. A simple pre- sentation at & public ball does not give the right of recognition tn either party after the dance. If after the presentation and dance the lady should desire to become acquainted with the entleman she will seek the officesof & mutual riend to introduce her, and the gentleman should do likewise. Without such introduction nathex would have the right to recognize the other. GIRL’S DOUBLE-BREASTED JACKET. The pleated back which is preferred to the ripple shape this season is one of the features of this comfortable little garment. The shape is furthermore desirable on account of the collar, which buttons up close at the throat, giving more warmth than the tailor-made cols lars and revers. Plain colors are best liked for jackets, browns, blues and red being used, as always. When mixed goods is used small designsor the indefinite weaving of mottled effects are generally chosen. The collar may be of a con= trasting fabric or color. A dark blue jacket with a green collar cov- ered with rows of blue braid set on quite close and foilowing the shape of the collar was very pretty. A brown jacket with a brown velyet collar trimmed with band lace in twine color was very pretty for a best jacket. Extea fine Brazilnut taffy, Townsend's. * TowxsEND's Cali fornia glace frutts. 50c.
