It seems as though it might prove to be something more than an impulse, a mo- mentary ecstacy, a delightful caprice- Something more than fifty Philadelphia. staid matrons have pledged themselves to wear skirts which will clear the ground by at least three inches. Per- haps this little leaven will leaveu the whole lump. The millennial bells look as though they were on the point of ringing a chime, and we may at least indulge the faint hope that the feminine mind will become sane and reasonable in the matter of dress. Why not make this this sanity and reasonableness universal? The women are beginning to take the lead in most matters, but why should they monopo. l'ize dress reform? The present style of masculine garments is, in many re- spects, atrocious. There is nothing‘on earth so‘supremely rediculous as a pair of trousers. They are unbecoming, and only long custom has made them tolerable. The bicyclers have taken the first step in the right direction, and even the most fossiliferous among us wishes he had courageto follow the ex- ample. He will probably be buried in his trousers, but there is no reason why the younger generation should not a- dopt the knickerbockers for everyday wear. They are convenient, and, more- over, they are picturesque. They give one a kind of freedom of action which 11118 been heretofore unknown, and in stormy weather they are a been and a blessing.

The New Haven Register gives the following interesting items .of po- litical information annent the candi- dacy of Hon. Lorrin A. Cooke and Hon. John Addison Porter, editor of ' the Hartford Post, for the next Gov- ernorship of Connecticut. The Regis- ter article opens by saying that— “The Cooke canvass managers are apparently alarmed over the strength that the Porter element has assumed. This all relates to the strife over Repub- lican nomination for Governor. It has been reported that John Addison Porter was in the way of getting the Gubernat- orial nomination and the ones who are behind the project to nominate Lieut. Gov. Lorrin A Cooke are beginning l0 hustle. There is left but little room for doubt that the State machine, which is repre- sented by the State Central Committee, is for Cooke, but the evidences point 10’ repudiation of machine dictation by the younger element in the Republican party. The young men want Porter; are bound to have him and there is nothing lacking to show that when the young men get aroused they amass a great strength ' From what can be observed, the Cooke men are desperate. Since it was . announced that Porter’s chances were the best, the once shoutera for Cooke have come out to about more loudly for their man, and insist that he should be nom1nated.’1‘hey' are talking about nominating their man on the first ballot, and 1111 this talk makes the Porter men wink the other eye. The truth is,there is a big turmoil over the Gubernatori 1| question, and wise ones saythat out of it P rter will show' a surprising strength. The survey of the situation from an observant standpoint gives this as a possible Republican ticket for state offices this year: For Governor, John Addison Porter; fer Lieutenant Governor, James Gra- " ham of Orange, or James D. Dewall of this city; for Secretary of State, ex”- Sanator Phelps; for Treasurer. the present incumbent, Hodge, and ' for Comptroller, the present officer, Meade. It has come to the surface that an in- formal canvass of the Porter and Cooke men at the Savin Rock meeting of the ‘ Executive Committee of the league, ’ or three in his favor. revealed that Porter had all but two It was a surprise to Mr. Cooke’s following, and they _ hays since been doing agood deal of ' thinking.” , It often occurs in politics that the most accurate information comes from the opposite party, and so it would seem to be in regard to Mr. Porter, if recent attempts to “down him” in his own town in the interest of’Ihe Cooke candi- dacy, may-be relied upon. ' This .is the report sent abroad from Pomfretié- “A so-called Republican caucus was held here yesterday afternoon. and elected four delegates to the state con- vention at Hartford. This convention was “snapped” with only four days’ warning, whereas it has been customary in the town to give a Mr. Porter’ :1 friends were denied knowledge of when it would be and as a matter of fact did not know it had been called until two days before the meeting. Mr; Porter himself was un- able to reach Pomfret till the evening before the caucus and when he learned what had been'done, declined to allow his name to be used as candidate for delegate or to take any personal part in the proceedings of the caucus. Mr. Porter’ '11 friends claim that al- though they were defeated by about twenty votes in‘ a total of ninety, the number of bonatide Republicans and especially of the representative citizens who voted for the Opposition ticket, ,was really larger than tnose who voted for Grosvenor.- A number of Democrats were in the caucus and voted the Gros- venor ticket. ' Mr. Porter is not in the least disturbed by this circumstance, belteving that fair minded citizens of all parties will condemn such methods as were used in this caucus.’ Surely the trickery charged above iEl not a good way to “down" a candidate in the minds of honorable men. Mr. Porter has little to fearIfrom such mis- taken tactics. Windham County in the one hundred and seventy years of its history has had but one . Governor and he not a Republicin. Of Mr. Porter, the Hon. John M. Douglass of Middle- town, in grateful reconiticn of his ser- vice in making the nomination of Gov- ernor Coflii passible, said:— “You can never honor him too highly or trust him too implicitly, for he is es honest and worthy a man as lives in Connecticut today ."

In a. few moments she rushed from the study to the kitchen, where she had left her mistress, and in less time than it takes to narrate had given the astonish- ed lady notice. “But whatever is the matter, Mary?” inquired her mistress: What has your master said or done to annoy y on?” ‘He hasn’ t said nuthin.” replied Mary, as she flourished acheck in her mistress’ s face, “but he’s on y given me this for a month’s salary.

Little has been heard for a long time of Father McGlynn. who once figured so prominently before the public and who was severely disciplined for his activity in connection with the Anti- Poverty Society. After he had been deprived of his priestly functions Father McGlynn lived in retirement in SOuth Brooklon until about eighteen months ago, w hen he was restored and assigned to the parish of St. Mary’s in Newburgh. The pen 1sh is one of the largest in that part of the State. It comprises 1, 500 or 2. 000 souls, and the priest has one assis- tant. Since he has been there Father McGlynn has attended quietly to his the bustle and activity of a. city parish. No one who knows the man can doubt that the same intense interest in public afiairs has been maintained beneath the surface. But since his unfortunate ex- perience he has refrained from giving expression to radical theories. Father \IcGlynn will probably be transferred to New York as soon as a. vacancy oo. ours in any large parish. The Secret Out. The great hotel was crowded and the newly- married couple who had just ar- rived from Rising Sun had been com- polled to take apartments on the four- teenth floor. The fair young bride put her head out of the window to take a look at the city, but quickly drew it in again. . “It’s no use trying to keep it secret, George. ” she said with a. blush and a pout. “Everybody has found us out already.
