Lacing.

If all the women insane upon this
subject were in the asyluns, the
accommodations would have to be
largely increased. The habit is q
general one and is very Injurious.
A good authority says: at has been
found that the liver. the lungs and
the powers of the stomach have been
brought into diseased state by this
most pernicious habit and fixed
redness OF the nose and eruptions of
the skin are among its sad effects. If
prolonged, there is no knowing to
what malady lacing may not lead.
Its most apparent effect is an injured
digestion and consequent loss OF
appetite. OF this, however, it is OF.
ten difficult to convince the practic-
ed tight LAGER. for vanity is generally
obstinate. But looking at tight
lacing, without consideration of i.s
effect on health, and merely as re.
CARDS it's tendency to improve or to
injure the appearance, nothing can
be more absurd than to believe that
it is advantageous to the figure. A
small waist is rather q deformi.y
than q beauty. To see the shout

Is anything but agreeable. The fig.

US Monday caucus of Democratic
senators and Representatives vas
held in Washington to dictate how
Democrats should vote and how they
should accomplish certain legislation.
The South is oyerrun with bands of
men who live by stealing or otherwise
violating law, and who murder for
pastime. There is in the statutes a
test oath for jurors by which it is pos
sible to secure juries through whom
occasionally these thieves and MUIR
derers may be on trial convicted.
Southern Democrats want this statute
repealed. Some of the Northern
Democrats think that for Southrcns
to have the privilege of thriving and
enjoying themselves by law-breaking
willie Northerners cannot do so, is
inequality, and they would vote
against change, but the hot bloods
were determined to pin them down to
party discipline, and held the caucus
for this purpose. Is this not going
too far? 1t is proper enough to hold
caucuses and agree on committees or
appointments, but when men are cbo-
sen to represent the people, and sworn
to vote as their consciences and con.
victions as 70 right and wrong direct,
how does it look for them to be CON-
trolled by caucuses that direct them
to vote against their consciences and
convictionsg Think of high-minded
and scholarly gentleman like Senator
Bsyard of Delaware being compelled
by such q caucus-little better than
rabble to vote against his sense OF
right! Yet that caucus has put this
bond upon that noble Senator! They
think to carry their measures through

An lows Letter.


EDITOR HERALD As / have heard
90 much from Ksnsse and Nebraska
I will try and say something for Iowa
! have travelled in both of the above
named states and prefer south " est.
ern Iowa for myself. We are here
where we can grow the hedge without
any trouble. The hedge is an ever
lasting fence. My father has fifty
thousand hedge plants to set out 10
the spring on his section of land 10
Atchison County, Missouri, of which
500 acres are broken and part of it in
to winter wheat. -
We are here also where we car
raise peaches all you are q mind to
set ont trees for. Tho finest peach
that | ever ate we raised here in our
garden right in the town of Shenan-
doah. / think there is more corn
cribbed up in this place than believe
Mr.. Oliver or Elk Badger ever saw 10
any one place. and it is still coming.
1t comes from the south about thirty
miles and from the west about ten
miles and other directions about the
same.
As for railroads, we have them and
are still apt to get another. Il is built
from st. Louis to Elm Flats about
one hundred miles from here now.
And when it is extended we have
good show to get it at our town we
call Shenandoah.
We had very severe winter here
this winter for this country. We had
our first snow about the first of De.
cember, and our coolest weather was
about Christmas The thermometer
went down as low as 24o below zero
but did not stay below zero many
days. The snow is all gone week
ago, and we bad no mud when it
went off either. -
Timber is very scarce. Wood is
from three to six dollars per cord.
Almost everybody burns coal and no
corn is burnt in this part of the coun-
try. The corn is shelled, then sold,
and the cobs burned. They make
very good fuel and very cheap-about
fifty cents a load aud load will last
some time, say two weeks.

The New Pension Law.


No; we are not in favor OF the
new pension law. We are not in fa-
vor of any moro war obligations.
We want that Ratchet buried. Oni9
one more law, covering everything
Of the pension, southern claims OF
war relief nature, are We in favor OF
placing upon the statute books. That
one law should be that any Sena.of
or Representative who offers my
bill for such law, any man who De.
titions for such law, or any man who
writes to his Representative that
he would like such law, shall have
milestone tied about his neck, and
he be cast into deep waters OF the At.
lantic. The people have been hun
plugged and imposed upon by the
pension business long enough. We
have heard United States pension
officer swear that there had been
more applications for pensions than
there were soldiers in the last war.
We have not been able to find o
man but what believes large PROV
portion of those drawing penslnns
are frauds. 1t q man did not find
out for FIVE years, ten years or fit
teen years after the war was over
that he was disabled in it, it is had
enough to give him Il pension from
the time he made the discovery,
without going back 10 the time he
was discharged. We were told the
other day of a man who while in the
army hurt the sole of his foot. He
tore button from his coat and tied
on the sore. When the surgeon was
coming he would slyly displace and
hide the button and show the sur.
geon tho irritated sore. After some
weeks the imposition was discovered
and the man was made to stand on o
barrel head few hours every day
until his foot was we'll. He has
since been a strong, rugged laborer
Has travelled day after day barefoot.
Two or three years ago he walked
twenty miles, barefoot, to the same
surgeon who had doctored his bnt-
ton sore in the army, and obtained
from him certificate preliminary to
obtaining g pension. He is PEN
sioner now. If under the new law,
hs gets q pension back to the time
of bis discharg e, it will DO a little tor
tune he viii get for q dozen years OF
strong disability, and that little for>
tune will probably. not las. him a
month. We ought to say here ,aat
the surgeon who doctored his button
and certified to his disability lately
left the Republican party because Of
its corrupt squandering OF the PEG.
Piles money, and ran for Office on sn
opposition ticket. This case may
be exaggerated. We do not know
the facts. Bat who does not know
of pensioners whose disability is not
peroeptible and was not known to
the pensioner himself until years af-
ter the close OF the war? Yet these
are the very cases that will draw
four.ffths of the fifty or one hum
dred millions of the peoples money
under this new piece of pusillsai-
nous lsw-making.

The Whipping Post.

Inc proposition to have tramp
law in Wisconsin is under advisement
by the Legislature. A bill now under
consideration and presented by the
Judiciary committee, OF which Hon.
VIM. T. Carter is chairman, proposes
whipping as punishment for the
tramp nuisance. Some of Mr.. Carter's
old friends will be Mortified that he
should stand up in the Wisconsin
Legislature aud propose that our
State with its motto, Forward"
should establish this relic of barbar-
ism, the whipping post. But we
must not criticize too hastily. We
admit that the thought IS revolving.
Granted that whipping was practiced
in ages that we call barbarous. Is it
not strange that to our refined senses
and progressive minds hanging is less
revolving than whipping? Abolish
ing the whipping post was progress
but it does not follow that its use in the
past was in itself to be condemned. It
served its good purposes. Past ages
were more barbarous than now. One
OF the correctives Of their barbarity
was the whipping post Mankind
became 30 much improved that it was
not needed and it was abolished.
Who can say that it was not useful
instrument in civilizing and enlighten.
ing the world? tits certain that it's
day was a day of advancement. It 10
not 70 certain that in the present day
civilization is advancing. Crime is
more common and less abhorred than
it was with the people of the last
generation. Why (? Perhaps 1t is
because human images with brutal
natures are treated with the same
refined delicacy in punishments that
human beings embodying cody ma.
lures are. 1t is we'll enough to ir-
quire into facts and see whether we
are right. Hon. J. T. Mills is horri.
fed to think that any man 10 this
age and in this enlightened State
would even suggest going back to the
institution of barbarians. He and Col.
Clark and Hon. J. Allen Barber
were educated by the generation of
men that had discarded the whip.
Naturally it is more detestable. to
men of their education and age than
any others. At first thought one
would say that Mr. Carter would be
ssil' more Mortified at the idea of tie.
ing men to post and flashing their
backs, for his time is little later in
this bragyart l9th century. But 9
count of noses will show the average
ages of the advocates of the Lash for
the backs of tramps to be less than
the average of mon who are awe.
struck at the suggestion. 1t may
then be regarded rather az a pro-
gressiv idea than as backward step.
But at present we will pursue the
thought no further. 1t is safe to say
the present Legislature will not le-
galiss whipping posts, but unless the
boys of this country have better
bringing mp than large proportion
OF the living men had, there is no
telling what may he done one, two.
or three years hence. The methods
of barbarians may be necessary to
get US ont of barbarism.

Tilden on the Witness Stand.

more direct denial OF his completely in
or knowledge of attempts to purchase
electoral votes than his letter pub.
lished after the Tribune expose and it
will have the effect in measure to
relieve those who have had conf.
dence in him. But his testimony
will hardly bear analysis and be con-
sistent with capability as well as hon.
esty. Those who have regarded him
as very upright man have thought
his uprightness excelled by his abili-
ty-thought him even greater than he
was good. But supposing him to be
entirely innocent of the charge ofcon.
nection with attempts at buying elec-
toral votes, how can he be thought to
have even ordinary smartness when
every creature of his official house.
hold is proved to have been engaged
in criminal acts, in his interest, and
he know nothing of it? Mr.. Tilden
should have been walked around the
whole Presidential campaign. 1t viii
be remembered that before the ST.
Louis Convention was held advertise.
ments were sent to many Democratic
newspapers offering them pay to pre-.
mote his chances for nomination. Did
he know anything about that? Suit
was brought against him to recover
an amount of Government revenue al.
legged to be due. To part of it his
attorneys defended by pleading the
statute Of limitation. Does Tilden
know that? When The suit was in
progress in Michigan, to find out what
his income was there, some of his
friends stole and ran away from
court with the account books by
which his income was to be proven.
Did he know anything about that !?
The vote of Oregon was admitted by
all to have been cast for Hayes, by an
unquestioned majority I; yet his friends
undertook to obtain part of the cleo
toral vote of Oregon. Does Mr.. Til
den know anything about that? Sew
eral other questions could be asked,
and they place Mr.. Tilden in a tan
gled web. In regard to the negotia.

tests again and again that he knew

makes similar negations to every

answer was, 81 thought the best way
to act in the matter was to stop it,
