The loyeliest thing In the shape OF a dress
was onened 10 our wondering gaze yester'
terday, on its way TO Miss Mary Anderson,

The texture is white India muslin, painted
in landscape. The coIorlng Of the flowers

while the texture OF the dress Is so sheer
and fine one wonders how the brush could
even trace the outlines. She Is to wear II

Referring to the recognition
which Delegate Cannon of Utah
at last succeeded in obtaining, the
Stubenville Herald says: Why
not? The United States govern
ment hasn't got sand enough in its
craw to crush out the scandalous
practice of polygamy, and its no
more than right that its congress
should have as a member a man
who is a polygamist, and who with
his constituents daily de6es the
civil and moral law. If the Nor
mons are permitted to violate the
laws and pay their taxes then they
should be represented. Further
comment is unnecessary, but the
stain still exists"

Ec's-Ne see how life gets coined at
our mint, so that the world somehow
wears the stamp Of the die cut into our
hearts. We know how piece of good
fortune brightens the air: how some i'm
pending evil puts the edge of spiritual
eclipse upon the sun; how suddenly i'll
fortune in business will seem TO make
the very springs Of beauty bankrupt;
how the sickness of dear friend turns
nature pallid; how the death of one
whom we love will convert all the trees
10 expresses and the music of the uni
verse becomes a requium; but how can
you expect your city TO prosper il you
dOnOt patrOniZe the local press? How
can Nou succeed as a merchant. or a
mechanic, and not advertise?

Es~The free lands of the west are
being taken up and settled this year 10 a
degree most gratifying, in the face OF
the Oyer-crOwded mechanical depart
mentS Of metropolitan life. Several mil
lions more acres Of hOmesteadS have
been entered for settlement at the var
iOuS land offices this year than in the
past year, and still the western movement
continues i'm force. And this is the only
solution of the labor troubles. Let the
unemployed come and become producers
instead of Consumers.

.s,-rhe fime has long sin

Es-Ihe time has long since passed
nhen mechanical trades provided our
sons witha living. I.abOr-SaYing ma

robbed the trade OF the future it offered
tO our boys in the days Of the indentured
apprentice system. The idlerS and do
composed largely Of tradeSmen and
professional men. and merchandising is
a failure, if the number Of bankrupt
merchants WHO had 10 succumb 10 the
pressure. Of the times can be taken as a
criterion. Whatfhe country needs is pro-
ducerS. and the waste fields Of unculti-
waited land offers an opportunity 10 place

Rev. ID. J. Pierce has returned
home from his tour OF Idaho,
Oregon, Montana and eastern
Washington, and concludes that
if 1,S00 miles of staging in three
months don't cure man Of con-
tinuous travel, he may be consid-
cred incorrigible. 1t is like the
traditional hash Of the average
boarding house-very good for
thirty or forty days, but not the
thing for a regular diet. His trip
over the Kelton stage line cured
