Word yesterday from Paris that Velour trimmed with braid, fur, silk and jet is the fashion favorite for Women's Coats and Capes. That was the Wanaviaker xuord more than a month ago, and we prepared accordingly, as with the other braid and fur-trimmed goods that women of taste are taking so kindly to. Fashions are not born in a day; styles do not spring into favor on the instant. There is studying and trying and flashes of inspiration and then a something. Very likely a failure possibly a success.

The man of foresight, wise in the Wrap wants of women, watching at the fountain-head says, "This will go." He has said "no" to dozens. The same genius that wins battles wins in these things. Fast as steam can carry it the thought, the "model," crosses the ocean. Duplicates by the hundred before the Fashion world suspects anything. This not once but time and again the season through.

The fact him hreoiue more apparent to-day that thu sort ion and maintenuocu of the Monroe doctrine will constitute the principal part of the annual meigo of the President to i'lingretw, ulcus, in the meantime, it xlmuld hiTome mM-enry for the eurlicr dec lantion of the ad hen net ol this rout try to that doctrine.

It in known at the I--art-m. lit of State, and in I ho Navy Department na well, that thu silmumn at Rio do Janerio is becoming more and more critical. The in-urc i.t admiral Is encouraged and aided in his(lH'lligurt ney by Kuropean powura. That state mrut may be made without modification. It is nown to be true, ami it m.iy not he very long before othcial announcement of the fact may be made.

One of the diplomatic and experienced offi-cinla of the Navy Department to-day said; Nobody hut the Secn-tary knows what the policy of this department may be upon any question. Kveryt-ody, however, knows that our bent tnthipa and cruiw rs are headed for Rio. Kvrrybody knows that it costs money to nmuuuvro a navy, an nulxidy bt-lieves that our ship are hastening to Rio merely for the health of their olliecrs and crews." MELLO HAS A It is lenined at th piTartment of State that the revolutionary lender is nursing a per son-il affront apninst this srov. rnmeiit. The removal of Commodore Stanton for aaluting Melln ha mado that rebel anry with this KrpuMic, and if ho can make trouble for us he will do so.

As soon as it can be officially demonstrated and official ly promulgated that the nations of tho Triple Alliance arc furnishing aid and comfort to Mcllo, a crisis will have been reached, and the insurgent admiral can havo ample opportunity to nurse his troubles and exploit in resentments. If thu fact of a foreign conspiracy shall be demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of tho administration of this Republic, the Secretary of State will promulgate a formal protest. Our vussels are hastening to lirr.zil. and will be there in timo to sustain the protest of this government with force, if necessary. A PASSIVE ATTITUDE AT PRESENT, It is a singular thing that the insurgent admiral and his supporters should be permitted to fit out a fleet in this country, international law is elastic, tender, peculiar.

When rebel fleets were fitted out in tlreat Britain thirty years ago onr people wero highly indignant; but there seemed to be no international law to prevent the unfriendly act. In like manner, although this country is friendly to the Republic of Rrazil. there has been no opportunity offered for governmental interference with the purchase of ships and munitions of war in this country, although wo are morally certain that they are for the use of revolutionists and they may possibly be used against our own country. Although this government has information concerning the facts of an international conspiracy, wo can do nothing until the foreign powers commit some ov-ort act. We may maintain our navy at Rio, ready for any emergency, but we can say nothing and do nothing in the way of mcdiatiou for the Rra-zilian Government.

Thus the status quo might be long maintained without hostilities, hut it is presumed at both tho Navy and State Departments that something will be done by tho insurgents or their powerful allies at an early date. WAR MAY RESULT. The governments of the world cannot afford to be forever making "naval demonstrations without accomplishing anything. Hen co the higher oflieials anticipate occurrences which may shako tho earth with tho thunders of war. Because, if the Brazilian complications compel a resort to the final the Triple Alliancearrogantly interfering with the Western hemisphere, our old friend and eternal ally, Russia, will be heard from.

The man who said that British interference in American affairs during our civil war would cause Russian powder to be burned on the Thames, has left a son upou the imperial throne of Russia who will un-hesttntingly take occasion to "permit a million Cossacks to take a vacation on the German frontier." as he once suggested when tiie young War Lord of Germany announced that he wanted to do business of a warlike nature. While it is to be hoped that diplomacy may scatter the clouds which now lower upon our horizon, it is undeniable that apprehension of serious results permeates onr two executive departments which deal with foreign affairs for peace and for war.

Mokuim.n. Thu election was practically uncontested. While the Di-mocrnts have a reaMtuiUy good orgaulaition In the State and arc not without earnestness and devotion. It wua impowiltlo for them, at this time, to make a hopeful fight again the large Republican majority and they wasted very little effort in the attempt, from which there was nothing to be gained. Except in a few counttoa where local contests had around some particular interest, thu vote was very light, and a usual under such conditions the majority party polled a larger proportionate vote thnn the minority.

The turns have therefore little significance, and not many persons thought it worth while to stay up Into lust tiljiht to learn the exact extent of Fell's plurality. Justice Thompson, iu his briuf term, has shown himself possessed of all the qualities required in his hih position. lie has proved, a be must have done, a distinct addition to the intellectual force of tho Supremo Court, and his recent isscuting opinion in the rase of the Building Commissioners commended him especially to Philadelplnaus as a courageous as well as npnght Judge. There will be general regret his turn came at a time when his election was practically impossible. For while the absence of political excitement ought to make it the easier to retain a good Judge on the bench irrespective of party differences, the fact ia rather that some excitement is needed to shake people out of their party traditions or to arouse the interest of those in whom voting is not a matter of party habit.

Some such interest might possibly have been aroused at thin time had there appeared any pressing need of it. Rut the Republican party had put forward good candidates and both Democrats and the many citizens of independent thought who have occasionally reversed the usual majority in Pennsylvania were content to accept tho inevitable. Fortunately, the result gives no cause for regret, the successful candidates being worthy men. Rut as a test of public opinion it is entirely without significance.

The curious and calculating are beginning to figure on tho direct and indirect outlny incident to tho World's Columbian Exposition, and although only two or three of the half dozen important items connected with preparing and viewing this marvelous pageant can oven bo approximately stated, the figures aggregate a very pretty sum. The outlny of the local corporation, which reached f26.000.000, is only one of three items of expenditure within the Fair enclosure. Assuming the amount paid by the concessionaires to tho management, which reached upwards of $1,000,000.

to be twenty per cent, of their takings, this would indicate that more than 20.000.000 were spent within tho enclosure for food, drink, entertainment and souvenirs of the Fair, aud in all probability the sum paid for goods which paid no tax to the Fair management swelled tho total to $26,030,000. An equal sum is said to have been spent in transporting, installing and caring for the exhibits, making a total of $78,000,000 as the outlay within the precincts of Jackson Park. This estimate, which it is claimed falls below rather than rises above the actual outlay, is interesting as denoting that each visiter spent an average of ono dollar per day within the enclosure in addition to the admission fee. Those who read this estimate of the outlay at the Fair will not fail to notice that it does not include the railway fare and hotel hills of tho visitors. Assuming that the twenty odd millions of paid admissions represented five millions of actual visitors and that the round trip fare of each averaged eight dollars, which seems a sufficiently low estimate, $40,000,000 will have to be added to the outlay consequent upon tho Exposition.

It is hardly possible that board and lodging of visitors at the Fair averaged less than the railway fare, which would absorb another $40,000,000, swelling the total outlay by visitors. Fair management and exhibitors to nearly or quite $160,000,000. Astounding as these figures seem at first sight, tho estimate is probably a conservative one and it is quite probable that the actual outlay reached a still higher figure. With such a vast sum spent upon this marvelous display of the world's achievement in all departments of human endeavor, a fair proportion of which was poured into he lap of Chicago, it would naturally be supposed that the peopleof that city must have derived great pecuniary profit from the undertaking. Chicago has a good deal to pay for yet, however, and until an account of dead and worthless stock has been taken and the books have been closed, it would not be safe to gamble on the profits.

To begin with, nearly nine millions of the original subscriptions to the enterprise, the bulk of which was taken by individuals, firms and corporations located or centering in Chicago, have been sunk. To this must be added the tremendous outlay for hotels and other places of entertainment in the city, and especially in the vicinity of Jackson Park, much oi which will prove to have no value now that the Fair has closed and the throngs of visitors and guests have vanished. The extra railway equipment necessitated by the rush of visitors will now rust and rot in disuse, and Chicago may be expected to suffer a period of collapse similar to that which was the i.iitln mrer ta or any pnriteulur part of the i city, but are tube eucountrrd all over, by wiiu ii jiii miiu mt-j i rum uHr iu uimr, to well us actttal lha ntur-hy.

The Swing of the Pendulum. Yesterday was ono of the days when it The first elections after a new administration has co tue into office generally go against it. There are plenty of reasons for this, in the indifference of its friends and the resentments of its enemies, especially when the administration Las not devoted itself to political activities. And hard times always tell against the party in power. It matters little whether that party is responsible.

The hard times may have rosnlted directly from the policy of the party that has been supplanted. To the average voter that is merely theory. He lias to do with a condition. In the present case he only know that the times were hard and that the Democrats were in. So he was against the Democrats.

The silver question has also hurt the Democrats. In Massachusetts the delay in repealing the Sherman act was an argument against them, while the repeal itself was against them in the West There is as much logic in one case as in the other, but off-year elections are rarely determined by logic. The most interesting of yesterday's rosnlts, and the only one that was not generally expected, is the Democratic defeat in New York. But that is not a defeat of the administration. It is a defeat of Hill and his Tammany organization and methods.

The revolt against the nomination of Maynaed has carried with it the whole ticket. New York is the Empire State of popular revolutions. It voted for Cleveland last year in spite of Hill, but when this reckless trickster undertook to make himself master of the State the people took the first chance to turn on him and bury him. The lawless methods of Hill's campaign and his lawless associations intensified their hostility. This is well illustrated in Kings county, which gave 30,000 majority for Cleveland, and now gives a majority for the Republican ticket.

This is not a vote against Democracy, for Democrats were leaders in the revolt. It was against a boodle Mayor and the race-track ruffians and the whole Hill combination. It is a splendid example of independent voting. It is not probable that the administration will be much distressed over the result in New York, which is largely if not mainly due to its own supporters and the influence of the administration press, which fought the Maynabd nomination almost unanimously. In New Jersey also the contest was entirely outside the lines of national politics, and if the Democratic party there has suffered from its race-track associations it will lave served it right.

The straightest party fight was in Ohio, where McKixley'b success has been taken for granted. It gives him, of course, a temporary prominence as a Republican leader, but it is a long time to look ahead to 1896. There will be other and much more important elections a year hence under very different conditions. The Republican organs will naturally and justifiably derive great satisfaction from yesterday's sweep. They have been feeling badly for a year and this will give them a less despairing view of life.

And yet the fact remains that these elections determine nothing and change nothing. They will not frighten the President, and they will not change the attitude of Congress, which will go right along with the work marked out for tl Thus, when we come to the Congressional elections of next year, the people will have quite ft different state of facts to pass Toting yesterday. Somebody might raise the I point of no quorum. On thk whole, a foot-ball match is more pleasing thau an if-ycar elm-turn. The County Oflieoa.

The election of the Republican county ticket was not much more than a matter of form. The election was probably rondurted fairly and the votes couuted honestly, for the reason that there was no occaMuu fur anything else, so complete is the cheerful a quiescence of the peopleof Pbiiadcli hia hi the selection of their officers by thotie to whom they have transferred their oriviual power. There were opposition candidates, who very worthy tneu. Rut uobodv took tluiu tf-riotisly. The men to be elected bad bucn designated by tho recognized authority and th it was the end of it.

These candidates are of the regulation kind. Magistrate Clement, who has been duly chosen to the high office of Sheriff of Philadelphia, represents the machine ideas and methods that have controlled that office, except for ono brief interval, for many years. It will bo administered by him, as by his predecessors generally, for what, there is in it, Tho policy that has made the Sheriffs office an oppression to the poor and an extortion upon the rich will continue to flourish. Nobody could havo voted for Mr. Clement with auy other idea and therefore nobody will be disappointed.

With this particular plum secured, the minor offices are unimportant, except that of Controller, in which Mr. Thompson is continued because It would have been inconvenient and dangerous to oust him. The people do sometimes show a little sensitiveness about the Controllership, and the combine showed the discretion to be expected of it in avoiding needless complications. With the cordial and even enthusiastic support received from the organs of public opinion and tho triumphant indorsement of a large majority of the voters, the gentlemen who kindly conduct tho affairs of Philadelphia for us have fresh reasons for self-congratulation. There may be a few fault-finders and kickers, but these are mostly Democrats or possibly free-traders, and as long as they don't kick on election day it makes no matter.

It is cloar that the people kuow what they like, and they are getting plenty of it. If the G. O. P. seems to shout more than the size of the victory justifies it must bo remembered they had a lot of unused enthusiasm left over from last yoar.

Even the political world is all a stage. Some are selected for leading characters and others cast for offensive partisans. Race Track Legislation Doomed. The Legislature of Now Jersey may not bo Republican on joint ballot, although this is not clear, but tho complete overthrow of the race track interests in Camden county William J. Thompson only saving his own election to tho Assembly out of the wreck indicates that the infamous racetrack legislation which has disgraced New Jersey iu tho eyes of the whole country is doomed.

This was tho sole issue in the election in that State, questions of tariff, currency and other interests, State and national, sinking into insignificance beside it. In view of the brutal outrages committed in the Camden county election yesterday every honest, order-loving, law-abiding citizen, regardless of party, will rejoice not only that the debauchery of he ballot perpetrated iu the race track interest in that county signally failed of its purpose, but that tho moral sentiment of tho State asserted itself so positively as to win a complete victory over the gambling element. The first duty of the citizens of New Jersey was to redeem the State from the clutch of the gamblers, and this seems to have been done effectually. After the race track legislation has been wiped from the statute books the people of New Jersey can divide on party lines again. To A certain extent voters are disinterested.

They can very well elect a Sheriff, and for that matter like him personally, without caring about his having an attachment for them. The independent voter may stay at home in an off year when there is nothing for liira to do, but when he does fret stirred up he is apt to make things lively. It is evidently tho independent voter that has unhorsed Hill in Democratic New York and turned down the race track interests in New Jersey. He was not so much concerned about the tariff this yoar aa he was about public decency. If Prohibition didn't win it's an odd circumstance that it can say others are in the same boat, and yet not on the same water.

While there may be a chill in the morning air at Wood ley, there are also some warming rays of sunshine. Under existing conditions in New York, it is probable that a certain distinguished citizen of that State now resident in the District of Columbia will not be inconsolable for the overthrow of Hill. Mr. Hill will not run the United States Senate this year. And Hornblower will be confirmed.

New York's achievement in independent voting recalls the time when the State gave 13,000 Republican majority, in 1881, and the next year went 192,000 Democratic, returning in 18S3 to 18,000 Republican. These last figures were also Harrison's plurality in 1883, while in 1889 the State went Democratic by 20,000. There is no State in the Union that can equal New York in lightning changes.
