lie is one of the few men in publiu life who are
not atruid to place tlieir mouth to the ears of the
people and tell them a wholesome if unpleasant
truth about themselves.
1 it> there are not more such persons in public
life than there are;—
I he people themselves would welcome an addition
i to the number of these candid friends.
I lu re are siitus galore in the action of the people
that they are sick of the everlasting fulsome flattery
measured out by the sycophantic demagogues who I
be h and cringe to the multitude, much as does I
monarchical flunkdem at the feet of royalty.
The democratic axiom that the peopie can do no
wrong is a lame brother;" one might as well say
that humanity can do no wrong.
Mr Lincoln was a notable believer in the people.
Hut he was free to say that a good many of the
P-ople are liable to go wrong a good deal of the
time.
lhey went so far wrong in his time that at one
crisis of his great career he would have been driven
from the White house had this precious "recall"
been in operation.
But to return to Mr. Root.
I his keen statesman has applied the solvent of
ironical good sense tc the shallow proposal for direct
nomination of senators. As if whatever there may
be of inferiority in the personnel of the senate were
not ultimately and at bottom traceable to the politi-
cal indifference and shirking of the people them-
selves.
If the people fail in their civic duty to elect state
legislators who are fit to elect the senators, what
reason is there to suppose that direct popular elec-
tion of senators would better the matter?
Mr. Root put the (ase in a nutshell, and most
amusingly withal, when he suggested that the re-
solution lor the proposed constitutional amendment
be put in the following form:
\\ herease, The people of the several states
have been proved incompetent to select honest
and faithful legislators in their own states:
Resolved, That the constitution be so amend-
ed as to relieve the people from the resequen-
ces of',their own incompetence by taking from
state legislatures the power to ehoose senators
and '-rating the power in the hands of the same
ill' <■ ir.petent people.
Mr. Root arraigned the people as the a'lMiors of
half their political troubles by ueglect of tlieir ordi-
nary political duties.
And the people know he is right.

THE HAREM SKIRT.
There is more talk about the harem
skirt than the subject deserves, says the
New York Herald.
At various times in the past, women—
chiefly of the "advanced' 'order—have
essayed a bifurcated garment.
The bloomer disappearsl in the face of
popular derision.
Bicycling brought the divided skirt into
temporary favor, but the lncention of tlm
drop bar put it out of business, and it
survives only for equestrianism
The hobble skirt had its genesis in the
Empire, revived a few years ago by
Wading Parisian dressmakc-r, and it was
to offset this fashion that a rival invented
the hobble, which is nothing more than ci
.straight skirt with its fullness gathered
jusf below the knees into a straight
band.
The hobble was never generally taken
up, partly because it impedes walking
and also because it makes the f et iook
longer. The dressmakers have practi-
cally ceased to make it. and it will soon
become obsolete.
Models of the new harem skirt have
been in the hands of dealers in tins
country for some time, and the garment
itself will appear on the street among
the spring fashions. It will probably
create but little talk, because it will be
difficult for any one but a dressmaker to
recognize it at sight.
V. e may be quite sure that the harem
skirt will not be generally worn unless

The astute Diaz has probably doubled
by this time the price on the head of the
editor of Regeneracion, the revolutionary
organ issued from Los Angeles. If ha
hasn't, he will when the Royal Extraor-
dinary Guard of the president's simple,
mediaeval palace hurries in with the
latest copy of Regeneracion and the great
l'iaz perceives the annovng fact that the
editor is a poet, or this is the way the
revolutionary organ is talking:
"Do you hear it? It is the wind shak-
ng the leaves of the mysterious wood-
land' It is the gale of the future,
awakening the quiet and somnolent
underbrush; it is the first sigh of the
% Irgin forest as she receives on her
her pensive forehead the kiss of the
impetuous Aeolus.
' Do you hear it? It is the wind

in gusts through the thickly cluster-
ir* ' ranches of a vast nation, a wil-

that shakes the oak trees; it Is the
unveiling of the hurricane, sweeping
away, through the ravines and upon
t:ie peaks, the dim haze of sterile
resignation.
"Warm and fruitful breeze. pass

branch that you stir is an arm thai
ta;.ee> up a weapon-a voice that shall
join the heroic concert to salute the
mom of redemption, an arm that shall
stretch itself forth to find the breast
of a tyrant-"
What is all this? The editor answers:
It is the breath of the revolution." And
e presses on
Do ycu feel it? It is the upheaval
of granite which is cracking to pieces,
beaten by the iron fists of Pluto; it is
the heart of the world palpitating
beneath its enormous chest; it is the
| fiery spirit of a giant who breaks from
his prison and hurls into space tne
w >rds of fiame.
| "It is an earthquake announcing the
bursting forth of a crater.
Do you feel it? It is the vibration
made by the hammers of the gods
striking at the bottom of the abyss.
It is life that is being born in the
black whirlpool, life that creates a
shudder in the asylum of death when*
reign the gloomy vampires."
W hat is it? The poet-editor answers:
"It is the revolution which is advanc-
ing" There is a fine fury on our
borders.
At the White House a few days ago
President Tail actcd as host to uix In-
dians ol the Cheyenne tribes. A Wash-
ington dispatch said that the visitors
weie the finest looking Indians who ever
had visited the capital. All of them were
Ktalwait and athletic and of unmixed
red blood. The Cheyennes, better than
most of the tribes, have succeeded in
keeping their blood pure and their energy
as it was in the old plain days, when it
v*as proverbial.
In December, 1890, when the Sioux
went on the warpath they were joined
by tlie remnant of the warriors of the
race of Northern Cheyennes. That tha
Cheyenne braves were so limited in num-
ber was due to the fact that twelve
years before the nation, exiled and long
lng for its old home, had met with prac-
tical annihilation in the attempt to re-
gain it. The depleted family represented
in Washington by its delegation of six
men had managed to keep its tribal in-
tegrity under conditions which would
have changed the nature of any other
Indian family of the west, iioldiers and
civilians have a respect for the Chey-
enne* winch they feel for few others of
the race.
It is said that there never was a Chey-
enne coward. The respect and admira-
tion of the United States army for these
northern warriors dates from the Christ-
mas-day fight which a part of the Third
Cavalry had with a band of the braves
near Fort Robinson in northern Nebras-
The Cheyennes were behind a na-
tural fortfication in a saucerlike depres-
sion on the summit of a steep hill. The
troopers engaged them at long range, for
a charge up the slippery incline was
physi< ally impossible.
The siege continued for twenty-four
hours, and, as the soldiers afterward
learned, all but six of the Indians had
been killed. The six survivors charged
down the hill straight at the ranks of the
soldiers. It was suicide, but they pre-
ferred it to a return to the hated reser-
vation. Moreover, they did not think that
honorably they could survive when their
comrades had perished. The troopers
tred to spare the Indians, but they would
have death.
| John Boyle O'Reilly in a poem told
j something of that fight and final charge
of the Cheyenne;
"Then dow n through the field, and behold,
they dash toward the wondering
troopers.
The soldiers stare at the charge, but no
man iaughs at the foeman.
Instead of a sneer a tremor at many a
mouth in sorrow.

CALLS IT "GREED"
From Milwaukee Sentinel. •
The obfuscated standpatter, Dalzrli of
Pennsylvania, charges newspaper tup.
port of Canadian reciprocity to ne..s.
paper greed. These unconscionable pub-
lishers, thinks Daliell, actually support
an arrangement which would help then*
by lowering the cost of their print paper.
How shocking.
However, the newspapers may admit
Mr. Dalzell's soft impeachment of a tine,
ture of self-interest in their favor for
reciprocity without a blush.
And what's more, many of them may
even admit without wincing another not
strictly altruistic motive, namely, an in-
clination for an overwhelmingly popu-
lar side of a proposition—for it is sui
clear that the vast majority of our peo-
ple are for reciprocity.
But, on the other hand, the great
bulk of the papers are supporting this
agreement mainly because they believe it
is right.
There are, moreover, rcores of thent
in the middle west who in so doing are
at their own risk running counter to a
mistaken loral sentiment and fancied
local interest which thinks it sees its
own detriment in lower duties on or free
entry for Canadian farm produce.
That requires some courage of convic-
tion, Mr. Dalzell.
It requires more courage and more
faith in ultimate popular intelligence
than a lot of so-called "progressive. • pol-
iticians are showing. These are the fel-
lows who heretofore have been whoop- -
ing for lower duties to lower the cost ot
living. But the moment that doctrine
seemed to hit a "special interest" (witrt

it appears that opponents of the meas-

: enabling the obstruction in the seSite

comes to r vote the president will call

A PRACTICE TO STOP
The practice of throwing samples of
medicine and other products into yards
a« sn advertising plan should be con-
demned. for the reason that there is
ever present the likelihood that a child
will find and eat the articles so at-

package containing medicine or oth°r
proJuct that might cause serious results
if eaten by a child.
And the children who do no: eat things !
they find are few.
