THE POPULIST MANIFESTO. T is not the fault of Tom Watson if any doubt as to Populist opinions prevail in the public mind. He has now given his views to the world at a somewhat tiresome length but with a gor—we might perhaps say a recklessness—which leaves no room ambiguity. Mr. Watson has seen visions and dreamed dreams, but the hysteria which they have induced is not likely to be serious- nor extensively contagious. We are forced to the conviction ther that he is himself unaware of the conditions prevailing throughout the country and the world, or that he is trying to trade pon an assumed ignorance on the part of those whom he ad- resses. His efforts to establish a comparison hetween the Hindus of { ndia or the oppressed serfs of some European countries upon the and the citizens of the United States upon the other, may self to his own followers, but to the bulk of the nation 1 to be only grotesque and pitiable. Or are these illus- nished to us merely as horrible examples of the condi- into which we may fall unless we incline our hearts to Mr. i open our ears to Populist blandishments? Mr. Wat- ons of Judge Parker are of course interesting because they , and when we have been similarly favored with s opinion of Mr. Watson we shall have-a remarkable bject lesson in family candor. \ esto of this nature would be extremely mischievous if sed to a nation more inflammatory than the American. firebrand will be instantly quenched in the cold water on sense and sanity. Mr. Watson deplores class hatred son and a is ut to the opportunities for pillaging the property of ints out imaginary cracks in the social edifice and he to mend them by dragging down the whole fabric about Inasmuch as the millennium is not yet in sight there 1 any doubts whatever of the Republican faith that is esto of the Populist candidate would remove them. ch he draws of President Roosevelt is in the main re of the kind of man who would most adorn the Presi- ice and steer the national ship into ever smoother waters. told that “Roosevelt is a straight cut Republican who r Republican principles,” that “he is not in am- nd no blind, he stands out in the open.” This is 1e, and to it we would add the expression of our con- here is no man in America with a keener and a more insight into national needs or with a more hearty n to supply them, and that there is no man who knows | how to do it. It will never be done by frenzied appeals to | r passion, nor by the noisy arts of the demagogue. dent Roosevelt is above all else a strong man with a tem- | pered and sagacious judgment, and because he has these great and | indispensable qualities he is able to look at every problem in its t to invoke upon his words and upon his actions a spirit of justice which can reform without destroying, and to advance with | 1 inty because he has the wisdom of the true statesman in | and confidently along the lines of least resistance. | FOSTER ON PEACE. ersal congress of lawyers and jurists at St. Louis, Mr. | Foster made the leading address on arbitration. In| precated the statement by Secretary Morton in favor | 1 to the greatest in the world, trusting that the Sec-| d been misquoted. Mr. Foster said; “Our Government | 1 hold itself in readiness to enter into an agreement for inter- sarmament, and not to the increase of the navy. This | . hold itself to other and far more peaceful pursuits | e settlement of strife than to the making’ of implements of de- 1 and death.” Foster has been for many years the attorney for Mexico at Washington and is a diplomat and international lawyer of eminence. It has been remarked of him for several years that is view of international relations has been tinged by the condition | 1 interests of his clients, rather than by the needs and position | his own country. Neither Mexico nor China has a navy. - They | lefenseless at sea. Universal peace, desirable for all nations, is| specially desirable for them, but they are entirely without influence in advancing it. It is the hawk and not the hen that can make peace effective. If the United States had a sea power equal to all the rest of the world combined, it could dictate the disarmament of every other nation and then would disarm itself. When this and another, or | more nations, between which there is amity, but whose combined | navies unite a sea power that nothing can resist, decide for peace, | there will be peace, and not before. Mr. Foster, led by his profes- sional employment, has been in the habit of criticizing the power of his own country, until it has been doubted whether his allegiance | runs s or his clients. This last criticism seems to re- solve that doubt in favor of his clients. Every real American knows that without our navy our voice would not be heard anywhere in the world, no matter how much we might plead for peace and the disarming of the nations. Natur- ally the advocate of disarmament must have something of whicl to disarm, otherwise it is a laughing stock. When our navy is the strongest in the world we will be heard in favor of peace because we are prepared for war, but have no desire or occasion for it except it be defensive. The nations under such cireumstances will not question our good faith and will hear and heed us. When the Czar spoke for peace his plans were all laid for overrunning, in Eastern Asia, a people incapable of resistance. All that he had to do was to move into their territory, occupy and possess it entirely, peaceably! His plea for peace was as insincere as the deceptive and faithless diplomacy by which he kept his armies on Chinese territory after agreeing with the concerted powers to evacuate. ‘ It is unfortunate for The Hague court that it originated in the hypocrisy of that autocrat. Under the circumstances it is natural that St. Petersburg is sullen and angry because President Roose- velt will call another peace conference that will purge the movement of the poison of bad faith which it derived from the Czar. If the conference he called had resulted in general disarmament he would by this time be the autocrat of all Eastern Asia. Japan put no faith in his peaceful professions and with patient industry and matchless skill prepared for a struggle for existence. When Russia is thoroughly whipped and humiliated and all her bad faith is ex- piated with compound interest, the way will be open for universal peace, and not before. Mr. Foster not only lays himself open to the charge of unpa- triotism, but to that of advising a course fatal t6 the very policy he advocates. The nations he represents instead of building a navy hire an attorney. It is cheaper for them and more profitable for him. But he must look to his own couqtry, to its navy and its power, to make real the good dream of general peace. Meantime Mr. Foster should be careful not to encourage the dynamiting of our warships that are being built. to “If a body kiss a body, need a body cry?” Yet they say that the Republicans are going to lose Montana because one of the State Senators of that breezy commonwealth indulged in some surrepti- tious osculation at the expense of one of her fair daughters. e iatiiitfpmespeires An Eastern gentleman hired his mother-in-law to kilf his wife and then put the mother-in-law out of the way.

SERIERLERE | o THE WOMAN WHO DELIGHTS IN FLIRTATION ‘ PAYS DEARLY IN THE END FOR HER TRIUMPHS 'HE girl who flirts does not dare to look sad. A pensive face must have a clear conscience and a good record behind it, else truly does (mne weep alone—and not that merely, she weeps with the derisive fingers of the multitude pointing at her tears, says Dorothy Fenimore in the Chicago Journal. For if stories once gain circulation about a girl's heartlessness, or a girl's indiscretion, the subject of them is watched, by eyes sharper than those of a gquirrel after nuts, for any evi- dences of conscious guilt. ‘When the flirt is unhappy, pride must buoy her up. She must laugh down the rain in her bosom, though her breath comes so short that it hurts her. She must keep bright the light of her eyes, | though sunlight looks dim to their vision. She must keep a smile on her lips, though, unguarded, they tremble. She must make her life one tiresome succession of poses. Few girls count the cost when they begin the merry sport of flirtation. It looks like good fun to drive a mascu- line four-in-hand. It is exhilarating to feel the'spirit of a force stronger than yourself quiver along the lines that you hold in your slender fingers. It is intoxicating to see every one whom you pass turn to look after you. Yes, the whole experience acts on the blood like wine. The “morning head” is quite another thing, however, especially if you have to go about your business as if nothing were the matter. And you are pretty certain to have it sooner or later. I doubt If there was ever yet a woman flirt who did not pay high for her triumphs. Take for an {llustrious example Mary Queen of Scots—whom Maurice Hewlitt thus describes in “The Queen’s Quair’”: ‘“She meant no harm, but she must always bewitch some- thing, girl or boy, poet or little dog.” M T A 5 LOTS OF TIME. Justice—What have you to say? Prisoner—A whole lot, if youwll just| Captain (showing her over the ship) sionaries in China are sending out ap- give me time. Justice—I guess 30 days will be time anough. o g For her womanish folly she paid—first | With her princely throne, and then with her fair, queenly head. ‘What satisfaction can there be to a girl who is gentle born and tenderly matured to see any man with a barb in his heart through her fault, “like a deer at the end of the chase?” How can she rest without self-reproaches if she knows that through her vanity the night is long to one who loves her, as he listens to the many hours come and &0, and come and go relentlessly? And in nine cases out of ten, when a man’s life is embittered through love, the girl whom he loved is direct- ly to blame. No man is warranted fireproof; and she who touches the match to the loose lumber which is lying around in a young fellow’s imag- ination, gathered there for his castle in Spain, is responsible for the con- flagration that ensues even if she did mean no harm, but did it in careless mood, just to see what would happen. Of course there are thousands of sophistries which may be offered in her defense. Nature has endowed her, perhaps, with a manner which seems to imply so much more than she is willing to say. Or she has naturally a smile so personal that every man who sees it is sure that it is intended for him alone. She may assert that never once since the beginning of her ac- quaintance with her luckless lover has she thought of the possibility of their ever becoming nearer than “just friends.” But let whoever pleases belleve this. The first proposal that a girl re- ceives may actually be, as she de- clares it is, “so sudden.” But the same is never true again. It takes wonder- fully little experience to make a wom- an weatherwise in love. She is never surprised by it a second time. Both what a man does, and what he fails to do, in his relations with her, confess his preference long before his words do. Besides, a man in love rare- A : +_.__—;‘—+ IGNORANCE. —This is the quarter deck. Lady—Then I that deck down there is the 50-cent deck. =~ - —e ly makes an effort at concealment. If | he believes that the great passion of life has come to him he is proud of | the fact, and, like Heine's lover, he | would, if he could, grasp the highest pine from the mountains of Norway, and dip it into the fires of Vesuvius, | that he might write with it all over the earth, “I love thee!” According to European standards the American girl is notably a flirt. Such a part as this one is in keeping with the irresponsible career wlth] which she is credited by the world | abroad, and which has been likened to | the “undulatory, capricious flight of birds.” Yet this role is not in accordance with the ideal of womanhood to which her countrymen swear allegiance. Gen- erally speaking, she may be, as it is| claimed, in matters of love, mistress of | the situation. Yet mentally, morally, hers is a lofty heritage. And, morally, mentally, hers is a great opportunity. ‘Where the standards of life are high, | S0, too, are the standards of love. As | said that women poet, whose sonnets | from the Portuguese are classics in the literature of love: “Whoever lives true life will love true love.” ————— . Words Cheaper Than Stones. George Meredith, whose novels deal with English high life, lives simply. | He built himself a house not long ago. It was charming, but small. A young woman with a letter of in- troduction visited Mr. Meredith as his home was being completed. With some pride he showed her over the building, but she, a little disappointed, said: “In your books you describe huge castles and spacious baronial halls, but when you come to build you put up a little bit of a house like this. Why is it?” B “It is because,” replied the poet, “words are cheaper than stones.” o | © HE WAS WILLING. Mys. Henpeck (rgading)—The mis- peals for wives. Henpeck—That so?

To-morrow “Lohengrin” will be heard in the land from the rising of the sun till the setting of the same—and for seme hours thereafter. And by the way, spezking of “Lohen- grin,” is it within the memory of the present generation to have seen a nup- tial processional to any other “tune”— ‘Wagner, your pardon—than this fune- real anthem? ‘Well, anyway, to-morrow it's going to be as popular as “Down Where the | ‘Wurzburger Flows.” . . There's the Chase-Donaldson wed- ding at the home of the bride’s parents. to be celebrated by the Rev. Willlam K. Guthrie. A night wedding it will be, and the bride and her bonny band of attendants will make a mighty pret- ty picture. Over in the green hills of Piedmont a pretty nest awaits the bride. i e Then, there is the blg wedding of Miss Marie Claire Adam and Clarence | Musto at Sacred Heart church. A stunning maid is Miss Adam. Sure- ly, she should be a stunning bride in her regal robes. It has always seemed a trifle bour- geois to discuss intimate things like wedding presents and trousseaux in to Just merely whisper that Adam’'s trousseau is exquisite in de- tail. Parisian or local? Whichever it be, the verdict must remain the same. Why not? What's in a narhe? o Joseph M. Cudahy and his fair bride— | Miss. Jean Mortorr who was—have | made a nuptial promise to visit the sister of the groom, Mrs. Jack Casserly, before the honeymoon sets. The wedding at Nebraska City was an affair of magnificent detail, in which four carloads of palms and blos- soms formed an incident. And roses by the thousands. That sounds almost | Californian. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Casey of Chicago were entertained at dinner last night by Mr. and Mrs. Charles | Denslow Ford at the St. Francis. Mrs. Casey has attracted much at- tention during her visit to San Fran- | cisco. She is distinctly a Western type of young matron, chie, clever and on good terms with the profound science of gowning—which is in truth an inherent gift in woman. . . . On Friday, November 4, Edward Greenway-—genial, rotund, happy Ned Greenway, will celebrate his birthday at the Palace. Now, ordinarily, cele- | brating birthdays is rather a tame sort of thing, but not so the birthdays of the debonair Edward—Oh, no. And following the coffee and cigars will the first Friday Night Assembly flare forth at the Palace, under the guidance, to be sure, of Mr. Green- way. Who else, pray? Lucky the maids who are on the gilded list—and lucky the maids who ‘Will the debutantes show their +* coy | lar—win = | for charity on Friday night. | Richard E.

On Thursday Captain H. P. Young will start. East, taking leave of his flancee till the berries grow red in December. And then the wedding bells will ring. Lucky chap! In choosing the last lovely daughter of the Voorhies household he has chosen a maid who possesses an art rarely seem in sm set maidens—the art of perfect h keeping—and this but one of her ar not the least of which is that of ta- pestry painting. . Edgar D. Peixotto and his Gotham bride arrived on Sunday night and are temporarily quartered at the Palace. In a day or®two the young peo'le w announce an “&t home™ at the hote when the friends of the Peixottos d of the thrice lucky groom, in particu- bidden to meet the bride. The Locust-street home promises to be ready for its occupants rather earlier than expected, and domestic accesso- ries of a new domicile are already fill- ing the happy groom with woe. o Mrs. J.

Francisca was the honored guest at a reception given yesterday afternoon at the St. Francis. Miss Jean Pollok was the hostess. During the busy hour the red room was gay with smartly gowned women, who had come to bid a social welcome to the fair song-bird of our city, who will sing The white and gold concert hall at the St. Fran- cis will fittingly inaugurate its musi- cales with that affalr, with two chari- ties dear to the hearts of all women the beneficlaries—the Maternity and the Lying-In hospitals. Miss Pollok was assisted in receiving by Miss Susan McEwen. Among those who called during the afternoon—and many remained for a chat—were Mrs. Marshall A. Newhall, Mrs. D. S. Lisberger, Mrs. L. L. Baker, Mrs. C. M. Belshaw, Mrs. E. K. Johnstone, Mrs. C. D. Ford, Mrs. Fernando Pfingst, Mrs. Charles J. Deering, Mrs. Livingstone Jenks, the Misses Johnston, Mrs. Walter Me- Gavin, Mrs. A. T.

Fashionable World Is Racking Its Mind Over Dress Problems b o Here are the questions which are agitating the fashionable world and which wili noj be answered until the’ final fall styles are launched: The fate | of the long basque for bodices; the de- cree as to extenders for the bottoms of skirts: the height of the bust line and its consequence among the corset- | makers, and the sleeve and shoulder | mandates, savs the New York Sun. Early in the spring basqued bodices put in an appearance, but as yet they | of the ultra-fashionable. Coat tails, indeed, have been seen, but as yet they are classed by conservatives with the spectacular. Skirts have diminished in breadth, instead of widening. That is, they are narrower at the top, and with the preference for walking-length tafl- or-mades are less unwieldy at the hems. Few skirts that are bouffant on the hips appear, even in evening gowns. All, practically, are shirred, tucked or plaited and held In leash nearly or quite to knee depth. This, of course, does not include gauzes or the thinnest silks. But, as yet, the ugly, hunchy effects seen in the spring on cloth skirts, which were full clear to the waistband, have not been in evidence in incoming models. It has been a matter of surprise to many that the hip yoke has again appeared in tailor-mades. But such is a fact, or a:. effect, in some of the smartest mod- els. But the hip yoke is less pro- nounced than it was two or three sea- sons ago and Is far less used. There 1is less talk about the crinoline than there was in the spring. It is a matter of congratulation to women who clamor for a minimum of weight in their toilets that the silk under- skirts that have just come from the other side have no interlinings of hair | cloth and no reeds or wires in the | P hems, as it was predicted they would have this fall The raising of the bust line and the increasing vogue of close-fitting bod- ices that show the lines of the figure | is responsible for a host of new ma- | nipulations and treatments. There are | no darts, the material being drawn and draped over a fitted lining, but this is accomplished in divers ways. Surplice effects are seefi on many of the new blouses and in conjuction with them are pretty ribbon and velvet in- troductions. Waistcoat suggestions are common in the use of two or three wide folds of velvet, which shade from dark to light or combine contrasting tones. These fill in crossed fronts and leave V-shaped openings at the top to e — Some Delicious Dishes That Can Be Prepared With Fall Vegetables e — X ‘Writing in the October Housekeeper Elizabeth W. Morrison gives the fol- lowing delicious ways of utilizing au- tumn vegetables: BAKED EGG PLANT. ‘Wash, but do not peel, put n =« deep pot of bolling water and cook until tender, for thirty minutes; re- move from water and cut slice from top; scoop out pulp carefully; chop the pulp; season with salt, paprika, two tablespoonfuls parsley, half- pound cooked and minced ham; fll shell; sprinkle with fine cracker crumbs mixed with egg yolk and bake in oven for thirty minutes. When serving garnish with sliced tomatoes. GREEN PEPPER STUFFED. Proceed as In former receipt to prepare for stuffing. Have ready one cupful boiled rice, half that amount of left over minced meat; mix, then sea- son with butter, pepper, salt; add one beaten egg; fill peppers and bake twenty minutes in hot oven. VEGETABLE PIE. Line a deep buttered dish with bis- cuit crust, then fill with alternate layers of parboiled potatoes cut an eighth of an inch thick; carrots, turnips and onions cut thin as wafers; minced parsley, salt and pepper. Make a pint sauce of the consistency of cream, of water, flour and butter, or beef stock if handy; pour over and through the contents: bake in hot oven thirty minutes. Serve hot. POTATOES AU GRATIN. Bolil cubes of potatoes until almost tender; then drain and cover with cream or a cream sauce made of milk and thickened with flour. Stew in this seasoned sauce for ten minutes; pour into a cheese shell, either Edam or pineapple, cover with _cracker crumbs and grated cheese 8n top: set several thicknesses of cloth on a an to brown in hot oven.
