sA- Tho editor of the New York

bachelor, who never enjoyed the
blessed influence Of loving sisters and
pretty cousins. Hear how ungallant-
" he rails at the present fashion of
ladies skirts: - .
1.-The mode now prevailing IL one
OF such cxtravagnncc, that only
princely income can support i and
family both, and, consequently, the
ladies haverto forego either criBoiine
or children-and OF course, in many
instances, crinoline carries the day.
In fact, TO such enormous proportions
have these things come, that q lady's
skirts, with all their addenda Of fur
bellows and hounces, now occupy SO
much space, that there is no room in
an ordinary house for cradles and
baby jumpers, not 10 mention the ba-
bies Themselves, at'fl = ias.N.fi
What supcrlativc nonsense, TO say
nothing of the impotence of the
creature. Talk about II requiring
princcly income to support the pre-
vailing mode Of ladies' skirts. Why
hoopcd skirts are really money saw
ing Institution, and the man With
manageable daughters, and small
means, may well exclaim with San
cho Panza, blessed be the man or
woman that first Invented them. We
will take young lady whose whole
stock Of dry goods did not cost 70 ex-
coed ton dollars, including one dol
lar judieiously expended in crinoline
and whalebonc, and she will dress
better, and presenta more comely APP
pearance than another, with all the
silks and jewelry you can pile upon
her without the crinoline. And then,
in this particular season Of the year,
she will enjoy the additional adyan.

coats, or sweltered in great rolls Of cot

LIQUOR QUESTION TO BE wrrHDRwn.

in favor Of electing federal ofIlcere by The
popular vote, and Recommending the with
drawal OF the liquor question from the poll
tics ofthc day Telegram Of June 81.
That is the faith and wish Of politicians.
Withdraw the liquor question from tho
politics Of the day, and let ruin and death
be spread broadcast an over the 1and.-
This question has always been in the way
Of politicians and always will be. The
Democrats Of Maine. as everywhere, open
~ oppose prehibiiaiion, while the Repnbli-
cans beg tohave nothing To do with it, which
Is equivalent 70 opposition And such we
understand to be the policy Of the parties

more value than the establishment of cor

But we are sure Of one thing, there arc At
least 10000 voters in Indianan who intend
TO make the abliahment and enforcement
Of prohibitory law, paramount to all 9th
err considerations, Perhaps o majority OF
these voted hast year with the Republican
party, but there are thousands who voiced
with the Democrats last year because this
question was not in issue, that will vote ior
