A very creeditable feature of the
lives of Vanderbilt, Gould, and nearly
all the very wealthy men Of our day, is
their sobriety, morality, and the prac-
tice of domestic virtues in all respects.
With unlimited opportunities and the
knowledge that their wealth would en-
able them to indulge with comparative
impunity in riotuous excuses, they live
in careful accordance with the approx
ed rules Of good conduct, and in this
way not only refrain from the exercise
of a aemoralizing influence, but set an
example which must act as a powerful
restraint upon the immoral tendencies Of
many who with the same wealth could
not withstand the temptations, which
were like Vanderbilt and Gould I'M
doubtedly put aside every day. What
ever may be said of the financial meth
DDS they represent, their social inAu-
ence is happily on the side of good
morals aud respect for the accredited
standards Of propriety, and they are
entitled to fair share Of public regard
on this account

The New York Sun denies that the
boiling Republicans of 1882 are the
boiling Republicans of 1854.
Exactly the opposite is the case. The
Republicans who helped to defeat Mr..
Folger and to swell Mr.. Cleveland S
majority to enormous size were Garfield
Republicans. sometimes called half
breeds, and these are the voters who
ate now most enthusiastic for Blaine.
The Hon. Ellis H. Roberts of Utica is
type of this class of Republican voters.
They cannot be counted as against
Blaine because they we're against Fol-
ger. They are for Blaine for the very
reasons that put them in opposition to
Folger.
Starting from the fixed fact of Gov
ernor Cleveland's great majority two
years ago, it is not quite 50 easy to
work out a satisfactory result in New
YorkState for next November as some
Of our friends seem to imagine.

of cattle. But the new town is what
interests everybody now. Lots are be-

The Western Kansas newspapers
want to discourage the Dodge City bull
fight. The Larned Optic says:
It is intimated that the bull fight
which is advertised to come of at Dodge
City on the 4th proximo is a wicked
scheme concocted by the denizens Of
that incorporate village to draw in a
big crowd Of tender-feet. Dodge, how
ever, is determined to have great fes-
tival season, and if the bull fight don t
come off as advertised, there will be
other fights not down on the programme
equal as interesting to the uninitiated
spectator. The crowd won't be en-
tirely disappointed.

Medicated mud baths are the new
cure-all. They are in operation in Gin
cinnati. The mud is heated by steam
and is keptin semi-6uid condition, and
the patient immerses himself in the Ii
quid from half an hour to three hours.
Natural mud baths are in use at Las
Vegas, Arkansas Hot Springs, karls-
bad, Baden-B Baden and other health re-
sorts, but the establishment of artiflcl-
ally medicated mud baths in the metro
politan cities is new idea. For skin
disease mud is probably very efficacious.
One bath is used by the same person
for ten consecutive days, after which, 1t
is thrown away and more mud prepared;
For most people the mud bath Will
probably prove more potent remedy
than the faith cure.

that in the grazing or buffalo grass re-
gion of Kansas the only industry that
can be followed with safety Or success
is live stock growing, 1t is an ac-
knowledged fact now that to-day in the
United States, grass is king. In Kan
sa5 the value Of It's live stock products

grazing regions should be devoted solely
