AT the democratic headquarters the work OF
compiling facts and figures relative to the issues

designed to employ any great force, but to do the
work quietly and efficiently

Nearly every day some distinguished democrats

People living in the great West will
Rrati6ed TO learn that a movement is on
foot in various portions Of the East to
raise funds for the purpose Of sending
missionaries to this benighted region. At
the head Of the movement arc some quite
noted Christian ministers and a few phil
anthropists who are alleged TO be gifted
with n degree Of common sense. Most Of
these worthy people have been settled in
their convictions Of the wickedness Of the
West by the lurid accounts given by
Joseph Cook and like mental dyspeptics,
who come here with p~reconceived ideas Of
the country's immortality, which all the
evidence in the world couldn't shake.
While these gentlemen are suffering from
such fearful attacks Of combined philan-
thropy and religious fervor, it would be
well for them to cast their eyes earlhward
in their own imme late neighborhoods
and observe the restitution, the crime,
the mental and moral d~epravity which
hedge them in on all sides. To many Of
the simple deniEsns OF tbs East this great
and magnificent empire is practically an
unknown country. Settled in grooves
and bound down by the shackles OF Gus
tom, they cannot grasp the breadth OF
freedom realized in this comparatively
new country. They fail to recollect, too,
that we ara already plentifully supplied
with ministers well fitted for the work
which they have to perform and to cope
with whom in practical religious work,
'tenderfeet" missionaries from the East
would be compelled to put in a probation
AIRY period that might extend over several
years. While the cities themselves con
tinue to fairly reek with crime. Eastern
philanthropists would do well to put in
their hard ticks at home before they at
tempt a similar task in the Wild West,
where the necessity Of over exertion is not

THEY still continue to have a few
clopements in New York. The coach
mans craze is dying out, although a few
of the profession still cling to their situa-
tons in hope that the Hulskamp-M Moro
sini affair may yet have its influence on
the romantic hearts of their pretty mis-
tresses. Long Island seems to be just
now monopoliring things in the elope-
ment line and three high-life affairs have
occurred within n week. One parsons
wife who ran away with a deacon in her
husbands church has already repcnted of
her bargain and signs for a glimpse other
two little children. Her mother has for
given this strange f ( on the part of
her daughter, but sol.nnly cautions her
to never do it again. Tie man in the
case writes his forsaken wife threatening
to kill himself unless she forgives him and
she relents on the promise that he will do
50 10 moro. The grand transforma-
ton scene has not yet taken place.
The erring wife has not yet returned to
the welcoming arms of the expectant
dominic, her husband; neither has the
truant deacon come back to bask in the
smiles Of the affectionate ~deaconess, but
things are rapidly tending in hat direc-
ton and Long Island will soon boast Of
W more happy and reunited families.

New York Postl
The number Of women VIII make, design,
or Mt least superintend the making OF their
own dresses according TO their own particu
lar style and taste-governed, Of course, in a
degree by prevailing modes-is no doubt to-
day much larger than it ever WINS since
fashion ruled the world. This is certainly a
token of wider culture in the best sense OF
the term, and a sign of a finer nppre-
citation OF what Is fit and becoming
in individual cases, leaving current rules
and set decrees Of fashion to be utilized
or not, to be received or rejected, when and
where it Is doomed best. Tho ridicule and
opposition Of those who blindly follow wher-
ever fashion loads seem rather to stimulate
than dampen the ardor Of women who in the
matter OF dress and its adornings dare to be
independent n free. and are ~infexibly
bent on being 30. This Is no new example Of
woman's will During the reign Of the coal
scuttle bonnet and the amplitude Of crino-
line there were found scores Of woman who
wore head-covering OF simple style, and fol-
lowed modes OF dress In which the natural
and graceful lines Of beauty were preserved
without doing violence to really good taste,
while Mt the same time serving as a decided
protest against the prevalent ungainly fash
ions OF the period.
