Isn't it about time" said a gentleman
to me the other day, that these vulgar
pictures displayed in tobacco and cigar
stores about town as advertisements of va
rious brands of cigars, tobacco or cigarettes
are suppressed? Scarcely a day passes
that our wives, mothers or daughters are
not insulted while passing the joints where
such pictures are displayed. Young men
and BOYS cOngregate there and make re-
marks about the pictures, and passing la
dies are compelled to hear them. It's a
shame that such state of affairs exists,

Strangers coming to Springfield, and
realizing the extent of territory covered by
the city, are surprised that the peace and
good order are so well preserved with
such a limited number of policemen. Very
few cities covering an equal area with so
large a population, has numerically so
small force as Springfield. The force
should be increased by six or eight men,
and it should then be placed in the hands of
a police commission.

One OF the most ingenious mechanical
eontrivances ever shown in Springfield is
now on exhibition at the II. & +. Jewelry
Co.'S store, few doors west of the GLOBE
REPUBLIC office on Main street. As | was
passing the store about midnight last Friday
night, my attention was attracted to a large
and peculiar looking clock in the shOwwin-
dow of the store. A workman was putting the
clock together. and took the liberty to enter
and examine it. AdOlph Hube, the inven-
tor of the clock, and who was setting it up,
calls it the Worlds Clock" because by q
glance at it one can see what time it is in
any one of the thirteen principal
cities of the world. There is
one central dial which is eighteen
| inches in diameter. Around this are ar
ranged twelve dials, six inches in diameter.
| The large dial indicates the time, both
city and STANDARD, in Springfield, while
the smaller dials indicate the time in Den
yer, San Francisco, HOnnalulu, Pekin, St
| Petersburg, Jarusalem, Berlin, Rome,
Paris, London, New York and Washing

ated by one central movement and are not
opearted by separate movements as one
might think at first glance.
Mr.. Hube, the inventor of the clock, is a
pleasant gentleman who came to this coun-
try from Berlin in 1875. He says that he was
fully three months making the clock after
having studied out the plan and reduced il
to writing. This clock was his masterpiece
which he turned out for his father, who
was also jeweler, before leaving home
Mr.. Hube has taken up his residence
in Springfield, and the city extends &
most hearty welcome to him.

Persons who come TO market from that
part of the country lying west of the city
complain that the bridges across Mad river
and Buck creek on Main street are becom-
ing really dangerous places. During the
last three or four weeks several persons
have been stopped by gangs of toughs that
infest the bridges and in some instances had
the wits nearly frightened out of them. No
cases of actual robbery have come to light,
but in two or three instances the fellows
have faxed few small articles from the
the wagons. Last night week ago two
persons, William Donaviu and Mrs. Win
gett. were stopped in the Buck creek bridge
while on their way home from market The
footpads who halted them 60 nothing for
their pains, but that was not their ault.
The gang ought by all means to be
broken up, and the best possible
way 10 accomplish that end would be fol
some market man or woman promptly to
shoot the first man who lays hands on the
reins to stop the horse.

The season of the camp meeting is upon
us and the good brothers and sisters are
burning the incense OF contritiOn on the
affairs Of repentance. A vast change has
taken place in recent years in the methods
of conducting camp meetings and many
people who attend the meetings make up
for the loss of religious fervOr by elaborate
tent trappings and spiritual welfare is,
therefore, assisted by material comfort. A
christian can praise the Almighty much
more satisfactorily after resting on patent
spring mattress than he could after passing
a restless night on a shake-down of straw.
Camp meeting has become a fashionable
way of making an economical visit to the
country with just enough of religious exer-
else thrown in to keep up the interest. The
proportion of the younger element OF the
church is larger than il was some years ago
and il is not altogether religious zeal that
induces the young peoples attendance at
camp meeting. Prospective strolls in the
cleaning with some cOngenial member of
the opposite sex is thought to have some
thing to do in arousing their interest
A camp meeting is, in short, a sort of
holy picnic, where all of ones physical, as
well as all his spiritual, wants are satisfied.
That the physical wants do not suffer is ev-
idenced by the following menu, which was
served at the dinner table of the Smiths,
Whites and Heffelfngers at the Urbana
camp ground, on Friday:
First Course - Watermelon. daintily
sliced.
Second Course-Fried chicken, stewed
corn, mashed potatoes, sliced tomatoes,
picked beets, cucumbers, bread and butter,
blackberry jam.
Third Course-COffee, lemon pie, cake.

Summer trade is about over, but there Is
still some demand for lightweight fabrics
and wearing apparel. Business Is general
ly reported only fair. but at this season of
the year trade is always quiet, and
merchants have no special reason TO COM
plain. Indications point to good fall
trade, which will open in the near future
and make happy the heart of the busy
merchant. The season has been remark
ably fine one for farmers, and they rejoice
accordingly. II generally happens that
when the farmer is feeling satisfied with
himself and his years work, few of the rest
Of lis have just cause to be disgruntled.
DO you know" said thoughtful wage
worker to me the other day, Il think We
ought to have change of payday. You
can preach economy until you're blind, but
when man gets on his Sunday toys and
is down town among the boys on Saturday
evening, with his weeks wages in his
pocket, and nothing to do but
loaf, he is bound TO spend more
money than he ought To, or even
means to. 1t would be better for goOO
many of us if we got our wages on Mon
day instead of ON Saturday. In some places
in the city Monday is pay day and | know
that the plan works like charm. @

The story of a colOred man 15S years old
comes 70 us from Baltimore. This is at
least an innovation upon the time-worn
summer paragraphs about the sea-serPent,
the toad found in piece of solid rock, and
the snake that waits for the child to bring
it saucer of milk every morning. But
why stop at 153, when IT'S would have been
still more extraordinary? After the bounds
OF probability have been passed, it is mere
affectation to make display of discretion.

Springfield as il grows i'll size and pOpula-

creatures are beginning to bob serenely to

promises Of pay, but it is to be hoped that
candidates will never part with any of their

would be infinitely more honorable 10 pay a
gambling debt than to pay them. To bOr-

date is very little, if any better, than black

politics should be abolished by candidates
tiatly refusing TO put up for their sup

MAN.

round and pillar-lke. The waist should
be twice the size of this tower of iyoryn-
not, as fashion has too often made it. about
the same size. The shoulders should be
A0ping and not too broad; neither should
they be too narrow. but occupy that soft
and rounded mean that is offered in the
Venus of Milo. The figure should be.
above all, easy. Too small waist is an
actual deformity, and young ladies who
are foolish enough to imagine that waist
OF eighteen inches is lovely should bear in
mind that the famous statue of the Venus
Gle Medici, the acknowledged highest type
OF female beauty, measures tWenty-seven
inches. The hips should be high in
woman and wide; the feet small, but in due
proportion to the hight Of the figure; high
lnstep is beautiful, and following of the
Sole is considered by the Arabs mark of
nigh birth. The arm is seldom sufficiently
developed in woman of fashion to reach
the standard of classical beauty: she does
not use her limbs, particularly her arms,
sufficiently to give them the muscular
growth of which they are capable. The
arm should have a round and flowing out
line, with no sharpness at the elbow; it
should taper gently down to small wrist.

LITERARY ENTERPRISE.

The well-known publishing house of TICK
NOR, FIELD & Co., Boston, Mass. have
in process of preparation full and COM
prehensive history Of the state of Mime
sofa and adjoining territory.
g The best literary talent and scholarship
of the NorthWest-in cooperation with the
chief editor, Prof. ALoNZO PHELPS,
A. MIS- engaged in the work. The
method adopted by Prof. PHELPS in the
arrangement of this work is the same
method he employed in his history of the
Pacific states. work consisting of three
quarto volumes. Instead of giving an ac-
count in laborious detail of all the events
that have occurred from time to time, in
the growth of the state, he has combined
biography with history, grouping together
the most striking and picturesque features
that have distinguished the early and more
heroic period Of Minnesota pioneer life,
thus illustrating each important stage in
the states progress and development. AS
biography is the basis of history, this
method exhibits the political, social, re-
ligiouS and intellectual condition of the
people at every period of the states exist
ence. Among the many excellent illustra-
lions of the work is included a fine collec-
ton of steel-engraved portraits of the rep
resentative men of the Northwest.

NOT HIDE-ROUND.

We agree with the New York Star that
it is about as easy for camel to go through
the eye of needle as for a Republican
paper to be consistent friend of tariff re-
form; but when the Star says ''the st.
Paul GLOBE has been trying the experiment
and not with the most complete success" it
simply shows that the Star doesn't know
what it is talking about. The GLOBE has
freely criticised Mr.. MoRRIsoN's incompe-
tency, because it thought that Mr.. MoRRI-
SON honestly desereed criticism, He is not
capacitated for leadership, and the cause of
tariff reform will never succeed until the
Democratic party reduces Mr.. MORRISON
to the ranks. The GLOBE is a Democratic
paper that doesn't pin its Democracy to any
mans heels. The Star can have mo-
nopoly of that kind of Democracy, so far as
we are concerned. The GLoB E is no hide
bound organ.

A LIVING CAUSE.

There are some peculiar features in the
result OF the elections in Great Britain. Of
the three parties neither has a majority i'll
the house of commons. The Tories and
Unionists combined have majority against
Irish home rule, but as that is the only
issue upon which they are united it is not
expected they will pull together very long.
Another Curious feature is that although de-
feated in the parliamentary canvass the
GLADsTONIAN party had a majority of the
popular vote. Of the four countries which
constitute the British realm three declared
in favor of the GLADSTONE policy, En-
gland alone standing out IL opposition,
while Wales, Scotland and Ireland favor
it. Under these conditions it does not
seem probable that Mr.. GLADSTONE will
be disposed TO relax his efforts or to ac-
knowledge himself vanqui>hed. With the
parliamentary majority opposed 10 him
composed. as 1t is, of such heterogeneous
elements it will be great sport for GLAD
STONE 10 lead The opposition. If SAILS
BURY goes in as premier then CHAMBER

A TALE OLE SHAME.

The doctrine of total deprivity finds
strong illustration in the story of the de-
serted family of children which is reported
in the columns Of the GLOBE this morning.
Seldom. if ever has there been its counter
part in the history of crime. The GLOBE
adds its voice to that of contemporary in
demanding that there shall be a change in
the laws of this state relating to the pro-
lection of female children. 1t is hard to
realize that such fOulnesS could occur in
this land of enlightened civilization as
did occur in this case, and the fact
that it has happened necessitates the
enactment of more stringent laws. Nor IS
it alone in the matter of protecting minor
females that the law should be amended.
There should be equal protection thrown
around women who from poverty or other
causes are subjected to the temptations of
a life of shame and are allured into evil
habits by the seductive influences of such
Scoundrels as the monster in human form
who betrayed the DE MARY woman. The
recital of the story is enough to arouse the
Indignation of any community, and if the
parties escape lynching it will speak vol
umes for the forbearance of the people of
Minnesota.

NIr. Hill and That Veto,
New York Star alleged Administration Or
raD1.

New York Star (Alleged Administration Or
GAM
Mr.. James J. Hill, president of the St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway company, is
just now receiving great deal of rather
maudlin comnseration because the presi-
dent has vetoed bill authorizing him to in
wade the Indian reservation of Northern
Montana with a railroad. We are told, in
terms of almost reverent pain, that Hill sub
scribed $4,000 to the Cleveland campaign
fund of 1854, and we are asked to consider
the ingratitude of president who would, in
the face of such facts, veto the bill of his
benefactor. The Sun is especially alert as
furnishing medium for this upbraiding, and
double leads the various howls in token of its
sympathy.
We are very sorry for Mr.. Hill. If he really
gave S25, 600 to the Democratic fund of two
years ago-which we perhaps doubt-he did
a most proper and meritorious thing. But if
he gave this money with a view to paving the
way for his job, and nourished the Illusion
that Mr.. Cleveland would be brought to re-
cognize the obligation, he committed most
egregious folly. The fact is that the presi-
dent vetoed the bill because it involved an
injustice and breach Of faith. Those who
expected him to do otherwise must have
strangely Inexperienced his character.
Those who think he ought to do otherwise
had better overhaul their own.
