The FEARLESS NEWSPAPER
The influence OF a fearless newspa-
per in the prevention of vice is a
potent factor M the welfare of any
community. Hundreds of evil pe0-
pie care nothing about the lies you
tell on them, but they are afraid OF
the truth. A fearless paper prop
erly conducted deters many from
the commission of wise by the
wholesale tear of exposure, for fear
is the only preventing element with
many persons whose wealth aud
high social standing secure them
from the legal consequences Ot
crime. A journal of this kind
must not be hampered by the per
sOnal produces of its editor nor its
friends. It's influence must depend
on its serving all alike, treating
every one impartially and not rec
ognizing poverty as a crime.

Paris Made Garments.

Some OF the Features Which DistinguislI
Paris Made Garmenta.
The modistes who remainlate in Paris
confirm many of the designs noted
early in the season, and add to these,
the freshest novelties. The short
basques, long draperies, and polonaises;
already described are repeated with
various Few accessories. Shortdresses
are shown for all occasions, ever for
formal dinners in the summer; demi-,
trains with the medium or three-quar-
ter trains are the exceptions, and these
are usually for matrons and older.
ladies. The short dress is made to re-
semble a full round skirt. but is inva-.
riably mounted on a false silk skirt,
which measures only two and a quarter
or at most two and a third yards in
breadth. The da nty French dresses
now have this skirt faced with silk and
without a binding, or else a depassant,
or hangingpleated frill, is sewed in the
edge between the skirt and the facing;
instead of a musl n and lace balayeuse,
modistes now put two pinked frills Of
the silk of the skirt inside the silk fac
ing. which gives a full and tasteful
finish at the foot of the skirt when
seen by accident. The outside of
the lover skirt is not usually
made in a separate piece from
the foundation skirt, and attack
cd to it at the height needed to conceal
its top under the drapery. One of the
favorite ways of adding this is to have
a square panel front made of a single
width trimmed squarely on three sides
with GALLON if the skirt is silk. or with
wool braid on wool, and to this is add
ed another panel on each side which
has a row Of the trimming at the foot
and up one side. For thin surahs and
$ ks a lining of crinoline lawn is used
to keep these panels IN place, and the
front breadth laps slightly over the
sides, An apron droops low on these,
or else is draped in many folds across
above it, with its lower edge turned
under and sewed to the lower skirt.
The black drapery may be of two sim
gle breadths, but is often also of three
breadths gathered to a very narrow
space at the belt, lined throughout
with lawn, deeply hemmed at the foot.

in at the sides, and is there tackled
across Con tapes) and at the foot to
form three large soft flutes or organ-pipe

made with the double box pleats used
during the winter, and still others hang

BY THE removal of republicans on the
ground of offensive craftsmanship democrat
ic Office holders are given to understand by
implication, that they are not to NEEDLE
with politics in any manner whatever. II
they do, they will, of course, be decapitated.
We are glad that this is so, and, since the
term offensive partisan" is applicable to
democrats as well as republicans, we would
suggest that President Cleveland, to be COR
sistent, should enforce this wonderful pre-
cedent by turning Manning and Whitney out
of Office, as they are dabbling altogether too
deeply in the politics of New York to be
recognized as non-partisans. Also the post
master at Chicago, who was appointed with
a view of assisting Col. Morrison in his po-
litical aspirations.

SMALL Pox has become epidemic in Mon
treal, where il is said there are not less than
1900 cases. In these days of rapid transit,
Montreal is a near neighbor to Michigan,
and the disease is more than likely to be
conveyed to our state. Proper precautions
ought to be taken, not only to prevent its in
PRODUCTION, bat its spread. Vaccination
should be promptly attended to, and those
who fail or refuse to attend to the matter
voluntarily, should be compelled to do so.
While il has been demonstrated that
vaccination is not the success il was hoped
and reported 10 be as preventive OF
cholera, it is almost a certain protection in
case of small pox, and should not be neg
lected nor evaded.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND is entitled to the
gratitude of all the people, except, perhaps,
the cattle kings, for the firm stand he has
taken in reference to the removal of western
herds from the public domain. These cattle
men have, in many instances and without a
shadow of right, taken possession of and
fenced in large tracts of public land, and
have, by force, prevented the entrance of ac-
tual settlers thereon. 1t is and long has been,
the wise policy of the government to reserve
the land owned by the government for actual
settlers. This forcible occupation of i'm
mense tracts thereof by wealthy cattle owners
has been high handed outrage from the
very beginning. Let us thank the president
because he has had sufficient frmness TO re-
sist the pressure brought to bear upon him
and to pronounce rs his ultimatum, "The
cattle men must CO."

The RAPID spread of cholera in Europe in
creases the probability that the scourge will
visit America. The danger is imminent and
extraordinary sanitary measures should be
adopted everywhere to guard against it.
Several deaths have already been reported in
various localities that had the appearance of
having resulted from this terrible pestilence.
Ii is not probable, however, that any of the
cases so reported were genuine Asiatic
cholera, but, nevertheless, too much care
cannot be exercised in the matter. Even If
we should, by unexpected good fortune,
escape visit from the dread destroyer,
proper sanitary precautions will result in
much benefit by preserving the health of the
people and preventing other diseases.

Renewed or Brain Cells.

According to the novel computation
OF German histologist, who has been
calculating the aggregate cell forces of
the human brain, the cerebral mass is
composed of at least 300.000,000 nerve
cells, each an independent body, organ
ism, and microscopic brain. 30 far as
concerns its vital relations, but subor-
dinated to higher purpose in relation
to the function of the organ, each living
separate life individually, though So
cially subject to higher law OF func-
ton. The life term of nerve cell he
estimates to be about sixty days; so
that 100000 die every day, about 200,-
600 every hour, and nearly $500
every minute, to be succeeded by an
equal number of their progeny; while
once in every sixty days a man has q
totally new brain.-ScientUic Ameri-
