Sedentary men either get too fat or too
lean, and they do not create good i'm
preston in this style of garment.
Then, too, the foot should have a
symmetrical shape in order to match this
kind of apparel. A fiat, long foot with
abnormal heel and stupendous bunions
on it does not fit this peculiar garb. It
looks cut of place and sui generis, as it
were.
Another reason for strong opposition
on the part of the press relative to the
knee pants is the fact that the ladies.
who are now rapidly adopting the mod
ern changes in mems apparel, will, of
course, take up with this one. We do
not feel, as husband and father, like

The Legislature passed bill to
pay its members for their extra do
nothing session. They voted a half
million dollars into their pockets
Gov. Pattison vetoed their bill for
pay, but they passed the bill over his
veto. The Governor does himself
justice by the veto. The only refec
ton that can be cast upon him is that
he called the Legislature in extra
session. Of course the Governor
could not foresee that the Legisla-
ture would take advantage of the sit
uation to plunder the Treasury by
sitting day after day and doing moth

Grave Yard Insurance.

Adespatchf from Reading under date
of the 9th inst. says. Life insurance
circles in this and the Lebanon Val
ley district are very much agitated
over war that is being made upon
number of spectators who hold
assigned policies Not long ago the
heirs of woman secured a six-thou-
sand-dollar award against the men
who had insured her and who held
policies assigned to them. To- day a
number of suits were tried before
arbitrators and decisions rendered in
favor of the heirs of the deceased
people upon whom the policies were
held. Ii these decisions hold good
at court, a lively time may be expect
ed as it is said about fifteen hundred
such speculative policy holders are
in the Lebanon Valley, involving
thousands of dollars
One case decided was that of Jo-
seph Hettinger against Samuel B.
Leinbertger and Ephriam Borgner.
Hettinger took out policy for $3,-
600 on his wife in the Union Benev-
olent Mutual Aid Society and after
wards assigned it to Leinbertger and
Borgner, who were neither relatives
nor creditors of his wife. After the
death of the wife the Aid Society
paid the amount of the insurance to
Borgner and Leinbertger, taking
from them . bond of indemnity
The husband afterwards brough:
suit against them as receivers of the
money for him, and the arbitrators
found in favor of Hettinger against
the defendants for s3,7S3.4 AZ.

Trade Dollar.

The better class of public men of
the respective States are In accord
with the mind of the people, on the
question of the redseming of the
trade dollar. No one is against their
redemption excepting perhaps small
number Of business men, and lot of
silver miners, but what is the view Of
a few business men whose opinion is
gagged by money, and what is the
opinion of few silver miners whose
opinion is also gagged by money,
worth, when compared to the worth
of the confidence OF the rank and file
of the people of Nation. The peo-
ple now stand amazed at the act of
Congress that produced such state
of confusion, and opportunity for un
scrupulous business men and specu
lators to manipulate the silver coin
that was stamped with government
stamp. Shall that amazement be
turned into disgust, and destruction
of confidence in the business ability
and business integrity of Congress?
The good faith of the Congress of the
Republic is at stake in this dollar
question. But says one, if the trade
dollar is redeemed, spectators will
make 10 and 10 cents on what they
hold Well, what if they do? What
is it that the spectators will keep
hands off if they can skin a penny
out Of it That is where the bad
management Of Congress comes in.
1t should never have permitted such
q state of affairs, and now that their
is complaint of the evil, it is the COM
mon sense thing for Congress to cor
rect the evil as speedily as it can
Because the spectators will make
some money, is that an honest reason
to keep Congress from doing justice
to itself, and the people. by giving a
uniform silver currency to the coun-
try? Is it a good reason? to urge
against the redemption of the stan
dard dollar, that spectators have tax
en- advantage of the stupid, if not
dishonest act OF Congress, when it
permitted the stamping of two silver
dollars with the stamp of the United
States, and called the one standard
dollar, and left the other unprotect-
ed to float at large upon its own sill
yer merits.
