Ex"Cengressman Foer-in the campaign as a gold Democrat,and who has just been appointed Com-missioner of Internal Revenue to suc-ceed Mr. Miller who resigned to enterprivate business, is said to have receiv"ed assurances that he would be allowedo keep the office under the McKinleyadministration. In tact, it is said thathe would not otherwise have acceptedthe office. These rumorsautherticated, and ft would be difficultto believe such things possible had itcannot benot been tor the political happ2nings ofthe last year. Just imagine whatwould haye been thought of the manwho would have correctly forecastedthe pelitical event of the past twelvemonths one year ago.The larger the number of Reputliean Senators and Representatives inWashington grows the more probableit becomes that no real effort is goingto be made by them to pass the Dingl. ytarift billin the Senate. While thereare a few conservatives among themwho favor passing the Dingley bill orsome other bill slightly amending thepresent tariff law at this session ot Con-gress and sparing the country the worryof an extra session, the great majorityof them are determined to have anextra session and to pass a high tariffBill in the House and to try to pass itip the Senate, and will probably haveAbvirway.Senator Mills, of Texas, is amongthe early Congressional arrivals. Hesays he doesnTt care to guess what willhe done at the coming session of Con-gress, but his telk indicates that hedoesnTt expect any tariff legislation.He had a few words to say that are- commended to the gentlemen who are melined to tollow the advice of Senator_ Peffer and favor the organization of a~Mew party to combine all the elementsopposed to McKinleyism and the goldstandard. Said Mr. Mills: oTheDemocratic party will live as long asthe government hves, No amount ofowhipping can kill it.�acministration are hot talking as wiselyas they might ~abdut ~the possible re"lations of the, silver ~Republican Sen-i des proposed. protection tariffWhich is to obe� pat! ~through the.} on ea to be put through~ripe experience.Some vf the friends ot the McKinleyoeae ngdhoncil _Seaaion of Con- | uetmont, after expressing the belief thatthe constituents of these Senators would |compel tkem to support a protectiontariff bill, goes a step further and makesthe threat that if they do not vote forit they will be ignored in the distiiba-tion of Federal patronage in theirStates during the entire term of Me-Kinley. While this threat wouldalmost surely be carried cut, it» is cer-tainty impolitic, not to call it absolutelyfoolish, to publicly make it before theSenators have indicated their intentionsHigh spirited men are seldom controlledby threats, and if the fool-friends ofhad ro threats been made.Senator Vest, of Missouri, isn t oneof those who thinke there 1s the slightest chance for the Dingley tariff bill tobe passed by the Senate at ths session.He said: oI have no doubt that theRepublican Senators who voted withthe Democrats at the Jasv sessionagainst the consideration of the Dingleybill, with the possible excep.ion ofCarter, will stand with us again, and ifthey do there is no possibility of pass"ing the bill.�Senato-elect Pettus, who will on the4th of next March succeed SenatorPugh, of Alabama, was a law pattnerof Senator Morgan about thirty yearsago and might have been in the Senatetwenty years ago had he not declinedthe nomination.

Lle is foreshadowed, out-lined, indicated in resolutions passed atconferences of advanced ladies, and hissilhouette flits through the pages ofan oecasiona! magazine article emanat-ng from the new school, but he is notvet here in the flesh. He remains anideal, an abstraction.Let us consider him for a momentquite seriously. There is no doubt thatthe relative positions of the sexes inthese times have changed a good deal.That is too big a question to go intoere, but if anyone doubts the fact letium consider broadly how far the east-ern and western gvilizations havedrifted apart in their views of marriage.So I do not deny that new sentimentsinay from time to time become engraft-ed upon human nature. The modernrepugnance to slavery would have beenunintelligible in ancient Rome and Idoubt whether flooded-out or burned-out negroes and yellow men ever under-stand the altruistic subscriptions nowand again got up at the Mansion housefor their benefit. On the other hand.the Chinese, with their worship of an-cestors, indulge in sentiments whichare caviare to ourselves. No sect, nobody of enthusiasts, need therefore de-epair of bringing round society to itsopinions; it is quite entitled to try.But do the ladies who are clamoringfor the new man realize all that their actimplies? Ican hardly think so; becausethe renewal of the British constitutionwould be a fleabite to what they pro-pose, as a little reflection will show.First of all, however, let us be agreedupon our terms. The demand is thathere should be but one standard ofmorality for both sexes. Of course, thisis vague. There might be a levelinglownas well as a leveling up of morality.or there might be a compromise be-tween the two soxes"a meeting halfway. If there was any hesitation injudging of this matter it would hardlybe for the advanced ladies to complain,seeing that one section of them is in-viting manufacturers and others to sendin designs for a new odual garmentT"or, vulgarly, trousers for everyday fe-male wear; while another section claimsthe right, as I understand, to retaliatein kind, for infidelity. However, not tobe ungenerous, let: us assume the preva-lent demand to be that men should con-form to the existing standard of mor-ality. |Well, that idea requires following outa little more closely than has yet beenattempted on advanced platforms, be-cause it leads up to rather strange is-sues, for which I can hardly imagine itspromoters to be prepared.Morality, it is clear, ought to be some-~thing more than a verbal profession; itought to spring from inner sentimentand to be closely allied to modesty.Given modesty of thought and m@destvof demeanor amorg members of themale sex, there would follow, as a mat-ter of course, the new morality, whichin turn would yield us a race of bashfuland blushing men, coy in love, lackingin initiative, who would let conceal-ment, like a worm in the bud, feed onthier sentiments. Nor would the changeend here. We can hardly doubt butthat the new man, actuated by his newfeelings, would be at some pains to dis-guise the contour of his figure. If headhered to the odual garment� he wouldprobably puff it and frill it into fantas-tic shapes and serupulously avoid theslightest exposure of ankle. The ath-léte would blushingly fling aside hisconventional garb as too indelicate.Side by side with these developmentsthere could hardly fail to be a completechange of the inner man effected. Pro-posals for marriage would have to comeindifferently from either side. Indeec.many new men would probably neverget over a. sort of maidenly repulsion tothe opposite séx, and there would be-sides be little attraction to them in theprospect of mating with a creature asemotional end retiring as themselves.Virtue itself wonld heeome a drug inthe market. Tt would cease tobe prized,because temptation, would cease to as-sail it.Too modest. to confess his passion, ifhe had one, the new man would be con:strained to take a leaf cut of the booT:of the Burmese maiden, to light his in-patiently for the suitors of the opposite |many cases perhaps not, and therewould arise the difficulty which will beReanedict, as to how the world shouldbe peopled. = sae an- The universal sameness of the sexeswould cause them to lose all interest in, | °Peach other and there would be an end ofwith the female pretenses.oDo the advaneed ladies Tike this picture?

Referring to thisone day, the manager of a large estab-lishment said that the girls in theirdressmaking departments are requiredto have all these qualifications and ferthe most part they come from goodfamilies, preferring this to the over-crowded occupation of nursery gov-erness or companion. There is hardiymuch to choose from in point of frec-dom, for all the girls are obliged to livein a building provided by and underthe supervision of the management.These homes are doubtless com-fortable, but the rules are extremelystrict.
