For THE CLARION.
Who Should Favor Prohibition.

The preacher, because he is looked
upon as a leader, and should be able to
say to his flock Follow me as L follow
truth"
The teacher, because he has for his
object the improvement of mankind by
properly guiding the minds and hearts of
the young; and in this work he has ne
greater enemy than the whisky power.
The merchant, because the whisky
traffic takes money from his customers
that is justly due to him for the neces-
saries and comforts of life.
The doctor, because most of his prac-
tice is done on credit, and the less
money his patients spend for whisky the
more they will have to pay on their doc
tor bills.
The farmer, because all the money he
spends for whisky, is needed at home to
increase the comforts of his family.
The wife, because it is the only safety
for her dram-drinking husband.
The mother, because it is the only
assurance she has shat her darling boy
will never, never be drunkard.
The young women, because they are
responsible for the influence for good
which they can exert upon mankind.
Inc boys, because tne DANGER 10 tnein
is imminent.
The drunkard, who is lost to all that
is good and noble, because it is his only
s1tre means of restoration.
The moderate drinker, who is uncon-
ciously leading more boys to drink than
the drunkard, because it will put the
means of evil beyond his reach.
The saloonist, because it will destroy
his unholy business, and compel him to
find employment that is respectable.
Every person who has had friend or
relative injured by whisky, because the
danger is still pending, and Prohibition
is the only guarantee that future friends
and relatives will not be destroyed in
the same way. G. L. II.

Shall There be Trousers and Sus-
penders for Women?

! can quite conceive that a man thor
oughly imbued with the prejudices re-
ceived from biased education, indis-
posed to accept new ideas, and deeply
endowed with a love for the beautiful.
might be reluctant to pay his address
es with view to matrimony to a wo-
man wearing trousers. Still. under
the influence of familiarity with the
idea of change in the neither gar
ments of the sex, and especially should
they be generally adopted by pretty
women, it might reasonably be ex-
pected that change of opinion and
emotion would ensue, and that perhaps
in time he might even be brought to
regard trousers as filling more COM
pletely his idea of the beautiful than do
skirts at the present day.
There is another point that requires
consideration, and that is the practice
of wearing the gown cut low In the
neck, SO as to expose the breast, and
without covering for the arms. 1t is
doubtful if this leads to any i'll conse-
quences. 1t has been continued for
many generations without apparent in
jury. 1t might be supposed at first
thought that bronchitis, pleurisy,
pneumonia, and many kinds of rheu-
matism and neuralgia would be the re-
suit of the custom, but such is really
not the case, all of these affections be-
ing much more frequently met with in
men who cover the chest and arms
with several thicknesses of wooden ma
terial in addition to a shirt of linen OF
cotton.
l 1t has been strenuously urged by
many so-called sanitary reformers that
women should support their skirts by
straps passing over the shoulders. and
some few have been induced TO adopt
the method. 1t is to be hoped that it
will NOT spread A woman's hips are
proportionally wider than those of a
man, and there is no better way of
keeping up the many petticoats that it
Is sometimes necessary to wear than
by fastening them with strings or bands
around the waist, over the corset.
Shoulder straps hinder the movement
of the chest and tend to make those
who wear them round-shouldered. Be-
sides, they could not well be worn with
a low-neek dress. Even if trousers
should come into general use for wo-
men it would be better that they should
be kept up by the support of the hips
than by suspenders passing over the
shoulders.
1t is true that many men wear sus-
penders, and this fact may, perhaps,
lead to their adoption by some women;
but again, no inconsiderable number
of the male sex support their trousers
from the hips. If comparatively mar
row-hipped man can do this wide-hip-
ped woman ought to be able to do it
better A good deal more might be
said in regard to hats, shoes and stock
ings- But women viii settle all the
questions of dress for themselves.
There is no evidence TO show that in
this respect men have ever interfered
with them, and if they should presume
to make the attempt it is not at all
likely that their advice would be heed

A Most Laudable Purpose.

FDTToR COLUMBUS INDEX: The article
in your columns of last week, relative
TO NV purpose to labor for the endow-
ment of the "Industrial Institute for
white girls" which you say Is noticed
extensively by the press of the State,
makes me ask you for space IN your
paper to say what my hopes and purpo-
ses are.
NY hopes are: That the Trustees will
so eonstrue Section of the Act of the
Legislature creating the industrial
Institute" that they win provide for
the education of the girls hands as well
Al their heads and hearts, fitting and
preparing them for the practical industries
OF he uge, such industries as now largely
engage the attention of both Europe and
the States-and in whose field thous-
ands of women are not only making
fame but ssbank accounts
NY purpose il to labor 70 endow such
Department or Chairs of the Institute
as will instruct our white girls in the
bread d-winning industrial Arts.
When the Trustees decide TO give the
girls of the State the opportunity at the
alustitnten to acquire such industrial
Arts 50 that they may be skilled, then
will | take up the work of endowlng
such Chairs or department, feeilne
every confidence in finding the women
of the State and country responsive IN
hearts and hands, and that the whole
press of the State viii be our efficient
allies. Very respectfully,

They Were Painted.

Half an hour after painter had fin
ished painting the front steps OF a
house on Fremont street, and had put
up board with the warning paint"
in large letters, boy came along and
gave the job thorough looking over.
Had the painter painted, or had he
not? Did that sign on the board mean
paint on the step or around in the back
yard? He pondered over these things
for long i've minutes, and then de-
cided to investigate. If this was an
old gag, all right, if it was a new
wrinkle he wanted TO catch on early.
Without stopping to spit on his
hands the boy boldly advanced up the
walk, removed the board. and walked
up the five steps and down again. He
left tracks and he smelt paint, but it
needed more than that to convince
him. A woman came around by the
side-gate. She had the broom raised
over her head in both hands. She
brought the brush part down on the
boys head as if she meant to drive his
heels through the pine planks, and as
he fell against a tree-box and rolled in
to the gutter she yelled: Them steps
has been painted" Yes" replied
the boy as he started off for a walk,
''but ! wouldn't hardly have believed
it?"-Detr0Et Free Press.

The Remains of Washington.

pondent of the Boston 1r0CeEer, sends
the following to his paper:
Mr.. w. III. Burgess, of this city,
makes public the fact that Washing
toms coffin was opened in 1886. when
the bodies of Washington and his. wife
were removed to the new tomb. He
gives the following account: II was
but a lad and this was about my first
piece of work. When the vault was
completed | assisted in removing the
bodies from the old tomb to their pres
ent resting place. 1t was decided to
open Washington's coffin. and when it
had been conveyed to the new tomb
the lid was raised. A number of peo-
pie were present, and stood in breath
less silence, while the workmen ex-
tracted the rusty screws. When the
top of the coffin had been lifted, 1
looked in. The body was apparently
perfectly preserved. The feat0fHs of the
face were complete. and there was
nothing to indicate the length of time
he had been dead. The exposure to the
air, however, had its immediate effect.
In minute or two the body suddenly
collapsed and shrank into an almost
unrecognizable form. Other than this
my recollections are very indistinct. L
do not remember how the body was
dressed or anything further about il

A Warning Against slippers.

A gentleman who had Travelled .
great deal and spent some years in En-
gland was speaking of English women
and expatiated, as usual. says the Tor
onto bail, on their good health as
compared with american women, and
theIong walks they took. and finished
with the remark: ..But the English
ladies never wear their thick shoes in
on slippers. This idea seems to pre-
vail to a great extent among American
women also. that it is the proper thing
to wear slippers in the house. This
may be a good plan for those who live
in houses kept at a summer heat at all
times and nei<- go out except when at
tired for visiting. shopping, or some
thing of the kind Ii is also a relief
to the weary housekeeper who has been
ON her feet all day to sit down in the
evening with her slippers on.
But the practice of wearing slippers
in the morning, when one is liable to
be called on to step out doors at any
moment while the grass is wet with
dew, is productive of wet feet, which
in its turn is one of the most fruitful
causes of colds and all the evils that
follow in their train. In the fall and
wiQtsr months, too, the floors are cold

And then, with such deadly effects
fastened upon all the rights of society,
and the invaded households of this land,
we are told by sensible men, and astute
editors, and church members, that we
must still rely upon moral suasion, and
religious agencies, to disport this mon
strous iniquity: protected and armed by
legislative authority; was there ever
before launched upon helpless women
and children, such cruel, cold, sarcastic,
and devilish irony. Oh, for the power
of language to gibbet such an argument

any other subject affecting the welfare
of our homes, and the protection of our
sons and daughters7 And such non
sense is not even raised to the dignity of
a common grocery argument, although
sanctioned by famous United States
Senator, under the cruel delusion of
high license; to think of arresting so
damning a curse to our country under
any form of license at all, is solemn
moekery to the pretense of common
sense.
The money argument perhaps will
reach the pocket nerve, and it must be
thundered into the ears of our legisla-
tors; for we are losing more money,
and bankrupting more people, and put
ting a greater strain upon our State
governments, in retarding their progress
under the high or the low license sys-
tenn, than by any or all other hindrances
of which We can conceive.
The Roman government, in the climax
of her glory, declared, "that the strong
arm and power of the whole State should
be welded to protect the life and happi-
ness of her poorest citizen"
And yet, this civilized Christian gov
ernment, so-oalLed-that's the word--with
legislative malice and aforethought,
sacrifices the bone, and muscle, and
labor, and happiness of one hundred
thousand of her citizens annually; and
when Congress is petitioned by tens of
thousands of her best citizens to give US a
commission of inquiry, to look into this
monstrous evil, Congressman, under the
corrupt dictation, and lash of the lager
beer brewers, and for corrupt party
purposes, refuse the people of these
States such a committee. Turn out the
whisky rascals by cyclone of prohibit
ton. War and the devil is bad enough,
but whisky and the devil and lager
beer, caps the climax of this noble gov
agould hasten TO protect
her poorest citizen by the strong arm
and power of the government
War and the devil slaughters thous-
ands of the human family; but whisky,
lager beer and the devil, slay their tens
of thousands.
And there stands the bloated manu-
facturer of lager beer, and the wealthy
manufacturer of whisky, crying out,
'know ye,not, ye men of these United
States, that by this craft we have our
money"
