[Special "Washington Letter.] j "And still they como. Nothing short .f & lightning calculator in good run? ing order can keep up with the Re? publicans of all degrees who are de? serting the sinking old hulk. The most distinguished recruit to the Democratic ranks since my last writing is thc Hon. OEEenry U. Johnson of Richmond, Ind. He served ten years in congress, with constantly growing prestige. I state now a fact which everybody stated ithen, that he was one of the ablest members of the house. Nobody doubt? ed his courage, his capacity or his in? tegrity. Ile was an able congressman IR every way. He was strong in com? mittee work and especially strong on .the floor of the house. Withal he was a man of conscience. He placed right above party, and when his party began this imperialistic crusade Johnson was the first man in the house to make a speech against it. Ile hud then, as I have reason to know, ."?opes of in? ducing his party to refrain from this un-American and ruinous policy, and he made a heroic fight. Finding the Republicans, like Ephraim of old, " joined to their idols, there was but .one thing left for him to do r.s an hon ??st man-to leave the Republican ;party, which he has done, lie will be welcomed generally as an auxiliary of great power. :?ot All '-Has Beens." The Republicans have been claiming ithat all the Republicans who had de? serted them were "ex's" and had no future. This theory is completely .knocked in the head by the action of Hon. George L. Wellington, senior Re? publican senator from Maryland, who has just announced his intention of taking the stump for Bryan. Senator George F. Hoar and Senator William E. Mason went to the jumping off place, but wouldn't jump. Wellington went the whole hog. What they will say about Wellington 1 don't know. They will get up some i^lausibie lie, no doubt, for that is their long suit; but nobody cares what sort of lie they tell, for nobody believes them. Another sample of an actual Re? publican officeholder of high degree jumping the fence is that of Mr. Tal- j bot of Omaha, president of the state ? senate of Nebraska. Perhaps no man in Nebraska had a brighter future in i the Republican party than Mr. Talbot, J but he couldn't stand the corruption j of the Republican party and he has quit it incontinently. I Another ominous fact for the Repub- j lican spellbinders and file leaders to consider is that Arthur Rue Gorman is going to take an active personal in? terest in the conduct of the campaign in the east. First and last 1 have dif? fered with him on many propositions and I may do so hereafter, but I have never departed fr om the belief that he is the greatest parliamentary leader of this generation, and that as a political manager he has perhaps but one equal in the United States, und that is Mat? thew Stanley Quay. In 1396 he took no part whatever in the campaign. This year he is to be actively associat? ed with Senator Jones in the manage? ment of the campaign, a fact which j will set Marcus A. lianna to rubbing | his bald pate at a furious rate. Contusions enthusiasm. j V The monster meeting at Indianapolis j at which Bryan and Stevenson ac- j cepted their nominations probably en- ? gendered enough enthusiasm of itself to carry the state of Indiana for the Democrats, for enthusiasm is the mest contagious disease known ?.niong men, being more contagious than the mea? sles, the black plague or smallpox. It made little difference whether any one heard the speeches or not, though they were of most excellent quality. It was the event itself which engen? dered the enthusiasm. 1 have always believed, and do now believe, that had Bryan accepted the nomination in In? diana instead of New York he would now be president. Everybody who takes any interest in the workings of the lower house of con? gress will he glad to know that the Hon. Henry I>. Clayton of Alabama has been renominated. He is a young man of extraordinary force of char? acter, handsome, courageous, capable and honest as the day is long. Ile has been in congress some years, is a mem? ber of tho national committee, and as be seems to have a lone: lease on his seat in the house lie bids fair to be? come a conspicuous figure in the pol? itics of the country. Trnst* After dulscon.n. . The trust magnates seem to be dis? posed to stop at nothing in thfir effort to rope in the unwary ami to catch gudgeons. They have started out nov/ to use the Rev. Samuel P. Jones of Georgia as a bait. That he is one of the most attractive speakers in the country everybody knows, consequent? ly they baie taken some rather loose remarks that'the Rev'* Sam" made are circulating them through the vertising agencies. The scheme hardly work, for if he linds out tha trusts are trying to use him as a < paw to pull Mark lianna's c&est out of tho fire they will hear s< thing drop. If Sam ever does opci on Mark, it will seem that he is u the English language as a bull A about the oars of that past ms boss. Another illustrious Republican has deserted the G. O. P. is Miss Ph W. Couzins, the only woman wh< the history of the human race < lilied the office of United States i shah lier father was one of the r. eminent of the old line Republican this state and held many ofiiccs trust and profit, dying in that of U I od Stales marshal of the eastern j trict of Missouri. Miss Phoebe . appointed to lill out his unexpired ti and did it with credit to herself an< the satisfaction of the government, was a prominent and influential fig in Republican circles, but she cc uot stand the corruption and imper istic tendencies of the G. O. P., so ? too, flew the coop, and in flying coop she let fly a broadside into M Hanna's serried ranks entitled America again a vassal of Englan with a subhead. "Shall the British L Typify the Sacrifice of American i diers or a British Hireling Wri Dub the Farewell Address of Geo Washington as a Curio of Histor Then she proceeds to belabor the ; publicans through 20 pages, in wh she absolutely flays the hides off the whole gang. I cheerfully cc mend the pamphlet to all who wa good campaign literature. Fighting? For tlie House. Two Washington dispatches in 1 public press show what a despert fight the Republican managers t making to control the next house representatives. One is to the etti that that palpitating and aspiring ] triot Cclouel R. C. Kerens, merni of the Republican national commitl from Missouri, has employed Coloi \V. W. Dudley of "blocks of liv fame tr? orjranizo tho Republicans Missouri. Of course this means tl every method known to the most c< rupt politics is to be employed for t purpose of debauching thc Missot voters ami electing one or mere cc ! gressmen from districts now represci ed by Democrats, i The other dispatch of importance j along the same line as this and is j the effect that the beloved Babcock j Wisconsin, chairman of thc Republics j congressional campaign committee, h; i agreed to put $2,000 boodle in j each of the congressional districts < ! Missouri. Now, Brother Babcock like Major Joe Bagstock. "sly, sir, de ilish sly."' Ile is generally suppose to be as wily as any fox, but if it true that he has promised to ser $2,000 into each Missouri district f< corruption purposes, then a great co: fidence game has been played < Brother Babcock. The chances ai that instead of the delegation standir 12 Democrats and 3 Republicans in tl next congress, as in this, it will be 1 Democrats and 1 Republican, a groi improvement. But if it be true thc they are sending lins money into Mi: souri it will demonstrate that they ai fighting with as much desperation fe the next house as they are for the prc: idency itself. .In;la,v Grists* o? Georgia. One of the brightest, ablest and mos genial young men in the house c representatives is Judge J. M. Grigg of Georgia. Usually be is a man o great discretion and tact, but unies the Baltimore Sun is the greatest lia in the country the judge reccntl; stirred up a most ablebodied hornets nest tn delivering an address at Rome Ga., to the graduating class of Shorte College For Young Ladies, for h< tackled the new woman and pro nounced a eulogy for Die old fashioner woman which it does the heart goot to read, but which is liable to brinj down on the judge's devoted head tin wrath of every short haired woman ii the land, and I fear that my genia friend will not have as easy sailing ii the contest which he has evoked as ht generally has in his debates with hi.? fellow congressmen, where he is thor oughly capable of holding his own. 1 have no doubt that somehow he wil ! be able to come ont victor, but he will need to have all his wits about him j Xo doubt the judge was influenced by ! patriotic and philanthropic motives. His address as reported i:i The Snn is ono of thc most brilliant that I ever read. It shines and glistens ami sparkles like the ocean in the morning sunshine. But tbe trouble is. tin* moro it shorn* and the more it glistened and sparkled the madder his audience got, for it was composed of young woinen who want to belong to the nev,' wom? an class.

Speaking of poetry, here is a quat? rain by some unknown genius which every stump speaker should fasten in his memory: Almighty dollar, thy shining face Bespeaks thy wondrous power. My pocket make fiiy resting place; I need thee every hoar. The Trouble With Connelly. It seems that I am in no sort of danger of falling into that class of persons to whom the Saviour said, "Be ware when all men speak well of you/' My memory has been refreshed on this subject by an editorial published in the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, and presumably written by a brilliant, er? ratic gentleman named J. M. Connelly. The trouble with Brother Connelly is that he mistakes epithets for argu? ments. Ile jumped on to me with both feet about my Boulder (Colo.) speech. The part of that speech which seems to have stirred Brother Connelly's bile to overflowing is the following: I am this day in favor of annexing every foot cf the North American British possessions clear to the frozen ocean, lt is contiguous territory', in? habited by much the same sort of people that we ere and who would become good citizens, but I am eternally opposed to holding Asiatic territory, 10,000 miles away, mere thickly inhabited than any state in the Union, inhabited by people alien to us in color, race, thought and habit. I would keep only such places in Asia as we need for coaling end naval stations. 1 am opposed to ex? panding our territory in Asia because it is dan? gerous to our institutions and would inevitably involve us in endless complication?, quarrels and wars. We cannot afford to jeopardize our own liberty in any such wild, reckless and wicked manner. Now, that is a very rational state? ment, notwithstanding Colonel Connel? ly's strictures on it. I undertake to say that it is a great deal easier to call j me names because of the above than to j show mo wherein lies what he i< pleas j cd to call ks "blatant idiocy." The ? colonel also seems angered because I ? said. "I don't care a bauble about j Aguinaldo and the Filipinos/' Now. j what the deuce '?? the matter with the j colonel I can't fell. A Wolf In Disguise. The real thing sticking in the craw of The Commercial-Appeal is that 1 am a Democrat and it is not, though it claims to be. Colonel Connelly is a very able man, but if he is a Democrat he ought to quit editing that paper; if he is a Republican, he ought to quit calling the sheet a Democratic news? paper. Perhaps a liver regulator would do him good. Another thing-lie should rub up on his geography, as he seems sadly deficient. Somehow he has got it into his noddle that I live in the Ozark mountains. While that is a delightful place to live, and while I am firmly persuaded that the capitol of the United States should be moved to the Ozarks, I dp not reside within 200 miles of them, but live in thc great Mesopotamian country between the Mississippi and the Missouri and rep? resent perhaps the finest agricultural region on the face of the earth. I wish to suggest as gently as may I be to The Commercial-Appeal that gen i nine Democrats don't care a copper j what it thinks about any subject under the shining sun. By calling itself a Democratic paper it is playing the wolf in sheep's clothing and could be con? victed in any court of justice as a rank fraud. I class it with other Re? publican papers and consider its abuse as positive praise. A paper which drove Ed Carmack from its editorial chair because he was honest and a silver man surely cannot have much influence with Democrats down south. Germana For Bryan. The two most illustrious Germans in America are Carl Schurz and Dr. Emil Preetorius of the Westliche Post. Schurz is openly supporting Bryan and Dr. Preetorius is saying things which are helping him greatly. For instance, rr ^ since he said editorially: .y ene who has even a superficial knowledge ( .?ist^ry knows the menacing danger (drohende (Jefahr) which militarism carries to the free in stitutions of a country, especially of a republic. France of today should serve as a horrible ex i ample (abschreckendes Beispiel). If anybody has ever had a good word to say about Colonel Teddy's asinine, outrageous and libelous speech at St. Paul, I have not heard of it. So far as ! 1 have been able tu observe it has been ? received by the public press with sul? len silence, defensive remarks or open denunciation, lt perhaps did the Re? publicans more harm than anything ; else that has happened this summer, j John Peter Altgeld, once a Missouri? an and later governor of Illinois, jump j ed on Teddy at Toledo and danced a ; war jig on him. John Peter grew sar? castic and alliterative and said, "Re? cently a gentleman in New York who had become famous for being alone in Cuba, a gentleman who has adopted as liifeglifc motto or coat of arms two 'p's' and a double's.' which four letters sig? nify 'pompous posing' and 'strenuous strutting.' left the capital of New York and v.rut ti? Si. Paul and delivered a speech." etc.. and then for about an hour John Peter proceeded to cut the "pompous poser" and "strenuous strut? ter"' into ribbons, to borrow a phrase from the pugilistic fraternity. That John Peter did the job well gees with? out saying. lnor> Ralnten't. "You keep me waiting so long!" com? plained the customer. "Madam." said ih<' worried grocer, who was economizing in his business by employing only one clerk, "ain't you the woman that \v:is in here yesterday kicking about short weights?"-Chica? go Tribune. THE SUMMER WARDROBE. Tailor Made and Other Thin, Cool Costumes. Tailor made gowns of pique, linen or cotton duck or khaki Holli are among the leading model?. They are trimmed with stitched straps, heavy embroidery or thick guipure.

I Formerly pique was to be found only , ia white, pink <?r blue, but now ir is to be i : had ra ali ?.<>].irs from tho most delicate ! co blae?. j Gowns <?;' dimity, nainsook and organ : die are tucked and hemstitched entirely by han?! and trimmed with narrow, fine handmade lace. The materials are of the simplest, but such gowns cost im? mensely because of the thru- and thc deli? cate work employed in their construction. Every detail i- most carefully finished, and all is as rino as a cobweb. Under? wear is made in the same elaborate way, not that it overloaded with decoration, h::: what there is is perfect of Ls kind and all hind work, j The cor. shows a costume of black em? broidered net over pink taffeta. The skirt has a plaited flounce of pink mous? seline de soie around the foot, and the net forms a long tunic, gathered around the waist and ornamented at thc edge with jet cabochons. The blouse of black net over pink taffeta ferms a plait in front and has a wide belt of black satin. ; The plain sleeves are of net over taffeta, i and the cravat is of white tulle. The I wide hat of beige straw is trimmed with : black est rieh plumes and a hov,- of black satin with a jeweled buckle. Pink flow ; ors are placed under the brim next the ! hair. .TUDIC CHOJCLET. MODES AND FAfeRICS. j GOW?K ot Thin Cloth and Their Ap I>roprinte Decoration. Cloth costumes of very light weight I are among the most elegant- of the sea? son. The material called pastel cloth has a finish resembling ile- powdery pig? ment for which it is named, and the sur? face is as delicate ns the bloom on a plum. Thin fabrics are ornamented, as they were last year, with painted garlands of Howers. These are mostly for bail gowns and are very delicate and expensive. Sim? ilar designs are painted on silk, cotton and linen muslins at a comparatively low price, and the effect is almost as good.
