Half Nude Ladies at Church and on the
Bench.

For some reason a wave is going
over the country that is liable to rev.
olutionize the summer dress (what
there Is Of it, of some of our ultra
fashionable ladies. The following
telegram from Washington D.. G..
shows what is going on there in this
direction
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 19.-The
mania for correcting social evils is
spreading. Washington has de-
.Teloped a peculiar phase. Capitol
Hill has been placarded in numerous
places with the following proclama-
ton: "To men and women We
recommend public meetings to be
held under the auspices of the
churches to decide as to a speedy
means of purifying the temples of
God and preserving public deeency
and morality from inconsiderate fe-
male attendants of our churches who,
through ignorance Or worse, dare to
enter the house of prayer in a semi
nude Or transparent garb, more in
harmony with the votaries of the
comique or the shrine of babel than
the humble penitents seeking God.
We therefore proclaim that all fe-
males who can so grossly insult their
own and the opposite sex as to ap.
pear in tight-ftting dresses made Of
white, thin, transparent muslin OIL
other Transparent material, without
another outside garment covering
the form, can have no claim to mod.
esty and are unfit persons to enter
the house of God or be with respec-
table people. If parents, pastors
and the press are incapable of teach
ing and enforcing propriety in dress.
offenders will hear from us in palmer
terms.
"By order of a committee of dis
gusted gentlemen"
The mercury is too hich to MAKE
this reform popular.

Judgment for Kitz.

Upon special presentation of facts by Ernst
Kitz against the Commissioners of Marion
county, Judge Ayres, of the Circuit Court yes
terday decided in favor of plaintiff. Kitz was
trustee OF Center township and as such received
certain pay from April 10, 1892 until March 16,
1883, out of the county fund in addition to So
per day allowed him out of the township fund.
Part of the trustees duties is to oversee the
poor, but at the solicitation of Kitz the commits
sioners gave him permission to employ visitor
to the poor who was paid out of the county
fund. But since March 16, 1883, Kitz received
no pay for the service of overseer of the poor,
although he claimed that he had performed ex-
ira and nightly service The court dee led that
after deducting the amounts already paid him he
was entitled to recover at the rate of 81 per day
$l40 The commissioners have taken exceptions
to the decision.

"Modern Medical Progress. !"

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In your last Sundays editorial on this subject
you say truly that at the end of the Eighteenth
century "Empiricism, authority and theory
ruled the medical practice of the world and
that ''the physicians of that age dosed and bled
by books" but untruly that "Hahnemann ig-
nored all previous medical knowledge denied
that medicine was branch of natural science,
or that there is any curative power in the human
system" Valentine Mott (the once noted sur
geon of New York; after visiting Hahnemann,
speaks of him thus: "Hahnemann is one of the
most accomplished ard scientific physicians of
the present age Many noted authors and
allopathic physicians speak equally commend
unreasonable to suppose that SO much ability
could go so far wrong! What man has done
more to conserve the inherent curative power
in the human system" than Hahnemann-who
sensibly and insensibly, directly and indirectly,
ished bleeding purging, salivation-of whom it
may be SAID that no man, save Christ, has ever
conferred upon his fellows so great blessing as
hel You intimate that his discovery had been
anticipated before him. Hippocrates r. 400
years ago) and Paracelsus dimly limited at it. as
Hahnemann quotes in his book, but in practical
utility the comparison is about the same as be-
tween Benjamin Franklins kite experiment and
the perfected telephone of to-day Hahnemann
was master of eight languages, and had
1000 books in his library. Through all these
books ran the silver thread that one man cured
disease with remedy. while another man
caused symptoms like that disease with the same
remedy This thread he followed up and by
years of study and experiment with remedies
perfected his system, which, as says the British
Medical Review (allopathicl, comes before us
now, not in the garb of suppliant unknown and
helpless, but as a conaueror, powerful, famous
and triumphant" Any article on medical prog
ress must be incomplete that slurs or leaves out
homeopathy, for many of its teachings are
now being modernized and enunciated in all the
me1ical colleges, even though not as we'll cred
tied" as they should be. The newest medical
literature is saturated with it, and all for the
public good The medicine makers are vieing
with each other to produce the handsomest and
most accurately subdivided little Doses and solu-
tons containing 10000 grain to the drop are
confidently used to kill the dreaded germs of
disease where but few years ago the crude
drug itself was thought necessary Xarily,
modern medicine does progress.

What Next?

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In recent issue of your valuable Journal, a
correspondent signing himself High Tax says
THE late General Assembly proposed and
passed an amendment on a trifing subject and
that is pending. so the question Of submitting an
amendment on the subject of prohibition cannot
be made an issue at the next general election. 1t
is well understood that the Democracy put this
barrier in the way in order to rule this question
out OF the next political canvass. Now, what
nexta am prohibitionst but believe in do
ing something, and If not what / want to do,
then what can do"
If High Tax" will be as determined to ride
ION the crest of the Indiana wave for prohibi
ton as he AYERS the Democrats of the last Legis-
lature were ''to ride the crest of the wave for
free whisky he will see that this trivial amend
ment need not stand in the way of temperance
legislation. Let all friends of temperance de-
mand the election of men to the next Legislature

the latter the former would remain dead letter
so far as execution of the law would be concerned
A Legislature Of such complexion could, at an
early day in the session, refuse to resubmit the
amendment now pending thus getting it out of
the way of the more important prohibitory
amendment. It is easy enough TO circumyent
either the devil or Indiana Democracy if saints
and Republicans will be as determined on no
form of compromise, but keep their eyes steadily
upon the desired end Try it.

The Benefit of Pools still a Problem.

Have pools been benefit to railroad interests
is still a problem. One thing that pooling his
tory has definitely established is that the pool
can sustain rates permanently only when the
traffic equals the capacity of all the roads. At
all other times its utmost power is to produce
the rapid and demoralizing fluctuations from ar
tifcally high rates TO ruinously low ones, which
have marked the operations of the pooling rail
ways for the past eighteen months. AS the bust.
ness at the present low rates is not in excess of
the capacity of the roads, it is not hazardous to
predict that the present attempt to put up rates
on June l. will result just the three similar at
tempts already made this year have done.
