Old-TIme Personal Ornaments.

One of the great charms of the personal
ornaments of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries is their individuality. almost each
one having some special and abusive design
embodied in it: for there seems in those
better days to have been no Birmingham
whence these things came by the gross, and
one OF the best means of improving the con-
dition of that much enduring race of art
workers, the working goldsmith, silver
smith and jeweler would be. by all who can
afford such luXurieS, insisting on an indi
vidual design and an individual work
being produced for them. The Interior
value of such jewelry would be increased
far beyond the additional outlay at first re-
quired, and as family relics such would be
of enduring interest. During the periods
above referred to even the ordinary
bourgeoisie had their personal orna-
mentS made for them, and the clasp
of q girdle worn by a lady of the
middle class, painted by an unknown artist
now in the Brussels gallery, affords good
illustration of how simply this can be done.
1t is gold disk. chased and set with pearls
and coral, and bearing the initials of the
wearer or the donor, and which faStenS a
girdle composed of twisted wire and coral.
Neither of the suggestions thus offered be-
longs to the costly order of jewelry, and
they have been purpoSely chosen for Illus
tration as being within reach of the many.
When we come to examine the designs, the
tours de force of the jewelers. and gold
smiths art depicted by the great painters,
we ascend almost to the unattainable, and
are wonder-struck at the evidence of
wealth almost beyond credence: though it
is to be remembered that then stocks and
shares We're not, that cOnsolS did not
exist, and the readiest investments of
those days were such as could easily
be transported or consigned to the
Lombard or ISraelitish pawnbroker for the
nonce. too many. alas! to find their Interior
destination to he the crucible; and thus it
is these painted records of them become
the largest and best field for the study of
the suggestions in design preserved to us.
This is particularly the case with regard to
those larger articles, the greater value of
which led to their more frequent deStruc-
ton, save when the custody of the church
or the fear OF sacrilege preserved them.
The great pieces of domestic plate have
well nigh all persisted. and excepting for
the notices of them in old inventories and
wills, and the record of them in old pic
lures we should be ignorant of the mar
yelous amount of art with which the gold
smith dressed the Bullets and the high
tables Of our ancestors. Fortunately the

A Sculptor at Work in Jail.
Liverpool Courier.

The new statue of Queen Anne. which
the corporation of London has erected in
front of st. Peters cathedral. is to be I'M
yelled on the 18th of December by the lord
mayor, with full civic ceremony. Mr.. Belt,
who is now undergoing long term of I'M
prisonment, is the artist, and his incarcera-
ton has in no way impeded the progress of
the work. The statue has, in fact, been
modelled in Jail, and its execution in perma-
nent form has been personally superin-
tended by the sculptor. A canvas cloth at
present conceals it from public view. but it
is admitted by all who have seen it to be an
exceedingly successful work.

Utilizing Chicago wind.

Chicago Herald.
One of the latest novelties is miniature
windmill to be worn as a scarf pin. 1t has
little fans of liver which fly around with a
pleasant buLzing sound whenever current
of air is thrown against them. The current
OF air is produced by rubber bulb or pump
held in the wearer's hand, worn in his
pocket. little tube leading therefrom to
the windmill on the scarf. The windmill
is not only ornamental but useful. 1t fills
the place OF a chestnut gong, but performs
its Office much more neatly. Whenever a
loQuacious friend seizes the possessor of one
OF these windmills and talks too long or too
extravagantly, his earnestness is distracted
by whiZ-z-z! WhiZ-Z-z! Slightly discon-
certed the loquacious man endeavors to
continue his discourse, but utters no more
than dozen words before again comes the
whiz-z-z! whiz-z-z! from beneath his vic
TINS chin. The talker stops short, looks
puzzled and slightly subdned, and inquiries:
''What in the name of heaven is that"
''Oh," replies the man who has his hand
on the rubber ball in his trousers pocket,

GOVERNOR WARNER.
From the Odessa Democrat. |

The Lexington Register has been pa
rading the name OF William Warner in
its columns for some weeks past, as
the candidate of the Register for gov
ernor in 1888. Warner is " ithout doubt
the strongest man in the republican
party in the state for that position, and
no candidate the republicans can name
would suit us better, if we could have
the naming OF the democrat to oppose
him.
The Democrat will take the liberty
anyway, by naming John F. Philips as
its candidate against all aspirants in
the democratic party. In such an event
as Philips and Warner meeting each
other as the candidates of their respec-
tive parties for rgovernor, nothing would
please us more than 10 welcome War
ner, with "hospitable hands" to poll
tical grave. He would find that the
rotten borough, Kansas City, would
play but small part in the election.
Warmers contest with Mr.. Graves
two years ago, and his late race with
Philips, show that he cannot stand the
pure political air OF the country dis
tricts. 1t is only in the corrupt and
foul air OF city politics that he thrives.
You are on the right track, brother
keiler-encourage Warner all you can.
Make him believe that he is the great
est man in America if you can. BY all
means bring him out for governor.
Philips will give him a rest from poll
ties that will last him the balance of his
| life

SENATOR C0OKRELL AND JUDGE
PHILIPS.
From the Odesss Democrat. ]


The Warrensburg Standard states
that Senator Cockrell secretly opposed
the election OF Philips. We cannot be-
heve the charge well founded. 1t is the
duty OF the Standard to either prove or
retract it. On the one hand, if it be
true, the democracy of Missouri ought
to be apprised of the fact. If it be
false, its publication ought to be atoned
tor as far as possible by its retraction.
While the Gazette Is opposed to the re-
election of Senator Cockrelj, il regrets
that such charge has been made, and
as democratic paper feels called upon
to demand the production of the evil
dence upon which it rests st. Joseph
Gazette.
The above falsehoOd coined by the
Warrensburg Standard has been float
ing around in the republican press for
some weeks, but no paper worthy of
being called democratic save the ST.
10 Gazette has seen fit to copy the
bald-faced lie.
Senator COckrell is not a man who
acts from impulse. He is the coolest
and most methodical of men. Neither

could not possibly have anv motive
either personal or political, to desire
the defeat OF Col. Philips. There was
no rivalry between them whatever, as
Cockrell's election to the senate had,
long before Philips was nominated Tor
congress, become fixed fact, IN so tal
as declarations on the part of demo.
cratic candidates to the legislature and
instructions in democratic conventions
could insure an election. Aud in ad-
di.ion, Cockrell strongly urged hi.

the fifth district.
The charge is 80 silly and maliciou.
that even the stupid editor of the Var
rensburg Standard has lowered his
character for sagacity in giving cur.
rency to so tlimsy charge.
The Gazette is certainly hard pushed
for point against COckrell. The proo
it demands will not he forthcoming
for the simple reason that there is no ie
to be had, and the Gazette knows it
or ought to.
1t is difficult to say what could in
duce the Standard to lie upon its fel
low-townsman, Senator Cockreli. Th'
Standard has no love for Philips, ant

LEGISLATION ON THE SURPLUS.
Articles.

LcSlS lON YIN DE nILOSs
In my last annual message to the
congress attention was directed to the
fact tha:e the revenue of the government
exceeded its actual needs, and it was
suggested that legislative action should
be taken TO relieve the people from the
unnecessary burden OF taxation. In
view OF the pressing Importance of the
subject, deem it my duty to again
urge its consideration. The income of
the government, by its increased VOL
ume and through economies in its col
lection, is now more than ever IN ex-
cess of public necessities. The apph-
such portion of the public debt as is
now at our option subject to extin-
guishment, if continued at the rate
which has lately prevailed, would re-
tire that class of Indebtedness within
less than one year from this date.
Thus continuation of our present
revenue system would soon result in
the receipt of an annual income much
greater than necessary to meet govern
Inent expenses, with no Indebtedness
upon which it could be applied. We
should then be confronted with a vast
quantity of money, the circulate.
medium of the people, boarded in the
treasury when 1t should be in theil
hands, or we should be drawn into
wasteful public extravaganza with all
the corrupting demonstration which
follows in its train. But it is not the
simple existence ot this surplus and its
threatened attendant evil which furnisl
the strongest argument against Or
! present scale of federal taxation. I:
worse phase is the eXactiOn Of such q
surplus through Il perversion of the re.
lalions between the people and theil
government and a dangerous departure
from the rules which limit the right o
federal taxation. Good government
and especially the government OF which
every American citizen boasts, has fol
its objects the protection OF every cili
Zen within its care in the greatest lib
erty consistent with the good order o
society and his perfect security in tht
enjoyment of his earnings with th'
least possible diminution for public
needs. When more of the people,
sustenance is exacted through the torn
| of taxation than is necessary to NEE
the just obligations of the government
and the expense of its econmical al
ministration, such exaction become
ruthless eXtortIon and violation of th,
fundamental principles of tree gov
ernment. The indirect manner il
which these exactions are made has
tendency 10 conceal their true characte
and their extent; but. we have arrived
at stage of superfluous revenue whicl
has aroused the people to a realization
of the fact that the amount raised pro
lessedly for the support of the govern

STATE RIGHTS.
From the ST. Louis Republican.

In declaring that the separate organ
ization OF the states and the rights OF
the people under them must be main
taiued, Gov Gordon, of Georgia, has
stated one of the living issues of the
day. All democrats will indorse the
doctrine, and not even among the re-
publican scribblers who write that
estate rights were surrendered at Ap-
pomattox" are there to be found any
bold enough to say that the system of
state governments and local autonomy,
which is the very foundation of Amer
lcan institutions. is disused, or ought
TO become so. More people believe iu
state rights" in 1886 than did in 1856.

For the current year to end of June
80, 1887, the ascertained receipts up to
