Approved The 15th day of June, A. D., 1897. Altgeld Talks to 2000. Ex-Governor Tohn P. Allseld of Illinois addressed over 2000 people at the Academy ot Music m Brooklyn. on Monday. The meeting was held under the auspices of King's County Democratic Leacue. He was loudlv cheered, and at the mention of Bryan's name tne applause was deafening Among other thincs he said w O "To-dav the most wonderful nation on earth is in distress. Its children are suffering, and its foundation stones are slipping away. Whv ? All nro- . . w I gress and growth has come from below, evolution works from the bottom an J never from the top. In society and in government there is constantly forming at the top a crust which tends to repress all there is beneath: Es tablished wrongs and legalized injus tice are always imbedded in this crust. Reform is simply an effort to imnrnve a condition or right a wrong, and every reform earned out had to force its way through this crust." " In Illinois we have hist hart a carnival of official debauchery such as tne world nas rarely seen. The living have been robbed : the unborn have been defrauded of their rights and saddled with unjust burdens ; public property, privileges and franchises. worth untold millions, have been given to monopo'ies; laws striking down liberty have been passed, and the people are helpless. "Had corruption burned fifty cities a free people would have rebuilt them in ten vears, but the destruction of in srut!ons blasts the hopes of man and must increase the sorrows of the world. " 1 he people see the black flair nf o - - hunger floating over some of the rich. est sections of God's earth, and they are crying for justice. The Benedict Arnold of 1780 sleeps on English soil. i.et tne Benedict Arnolds of this age make their graves beside him." Democralio State Delegates Chosen. The Democrats of the Third Legis lative District at Wilkesbarre on Tuesday elected W. H. Loughrey, Dr. D. F. Smith and T. H. Oplinger delegates to the State Convention. State Chairman Carman was present, and the Chicago platform was indorsed. The Difference, As a sort of companion, or rather opposition query to "What is the difference between a Cleveland panic ana a Mciviniey Doom t " it is now asked "What is the difference between a 'calamity howl' in 1802-1 and a 'calamity howl' in 1807." There is a very big difference. In 1892-3 there was a pretty good share ot business activity and commercial prosperity in this country. But it was about to be turned over to Democratic management with the probability of tne passage of a Democratic low tariff. This was not altogether satisfactory to inose statesmen who had been en deavoring to scare the people into the belief that Democratic success at the polls meant commercial disaster. They decided to destroy confidence and kill industry and arraign the Democratic party as the murderer. They did this They began the calamity howling against live industries and continued it four vears. When prosperity had vanished they prepared for the new presidential cam. paign and succeeded in electing their candidate. Now, while trying to pass a tarm quite as unjust and harsh as the McKinlev law. thev misrenrpsrnt . ' ' 1 ------ the true condition of affairs, chronicle untruthful rumors and monthly firing of furnaces as great industrial revivals due to the influence and effect of the new bill. Any honest effort to show the true condition of industry is, by the aforesaid statesmen, labeled a "calamity howl." To refrain from telling untruths about business condi Hons and thus prevent the unsusnect ing from investing money in precarious enterprises is by them denominated "pessimism." That is the difference between the "calamity howls." The first was naspd on untruth: the second is a publication 01 tne truth. fix. HINTS ABOUT MOURNING- To be in good taste deen mmirninar demands lustreless materials and gar nitures. Diamonds and iewelrv are not npr. missible with first mourning. Some women do it, but it is not in good taste. Crape, of course, alwavs indicates the heaviest mourning, and more or less of this tends to make yov- first o - gown handsome Lustreless let and lustreless cord passementerie jackets and girdles all come especially for mourning wear. There need be no difference in the fashion of making ; many of the deep est mourning gowns have exact re productions of the short Jackets, has- que bodices, guimps effects, inserted vests, oretelles, revers and collarettes seen on the collared gowns. fcxeept for a widow white worn over black or with olack garnitures is considered quite proper for warm weather mourning. ine widows veil is the longest ever worn and is always accompanied by the crepe lisse "widow's can" in the . . . o - - - front of the bonnet. Unless for a husband or a mother, when the wear er is of middle age. the short veil with crepe folds at the edge is much more worn ot late yenrs. ror still another sta? for inst he. fore putting on eclors lovely twills in gray, gray ana white and mauve and white come. A gray grenadine seen lately, striped with violet made up over violet moire, was exauisite. A white Swiss dotted in black over vio let taffeta would be pretty and in keeping.
