the wearers to walk without getting

THE Woman Did It."

There is no food for reflection in this com.
ment by the Pittsburgh Dispatch:
"Where female extravgance Is alleged to
have driven men into the more common and
less criminal misfortunes of bankruptcy,
there is also the decided presumption that the
man Is as big fool as the woman"
The man who spends more than he earns
being tempted bv an extravagant wife, then
pillories that wife MS the cause OF his bank
ruptcy and business disgrace, is not alone a
fool, but coward.
The average wife Is a good deal more re-
luctant TO tempt into courses of reckless ex-
penditure than the husband is to be tempted.
The history OF American business failures
taken as q whole, would tend to prove, could
the facts be known that wives have far
oftener been checks upon than spurs to ex-
travagance in living; aud that usually when
they have consented to SHARE with their bus
bands the insanity Of needless and useless
outlay, they have been deceived as to the ex-
tent OF the husbands income.
Idle extravaganza Is u feminine, but much
more q masculine trait In America, taking the
people as they average: and those business
failures are very few which are chargeable to
the women of the household, vet which the
men might not easily have prevented had
they been In the least so disposed. -

An English war correspondent gives the

order reigned about his headquarters, and
that no peaceable inhabitant need be afraid
at finding tue standard Of the Crown Prince

was a typical German in his fondness for
smoking, and the handsome pipe which the
Crown Princess had given him, enriched with
printing by her own royal hand, was The

Princes views OF the Franco-German war,

heard him speak. lie was a German patriot

soldier, and a skilled tactcian, as became

the French he was the mildest of men. On

downfall of Napoleon Ill, and when we ar

THE LATEST PROHIBaTzoN IDEA

And now it is announced that the prohi-
bitionists will try to stop the manufacture
aud sale of liquor by asking the Supreme
licenses granted under the authority of State
laws are unconstitutional and therefore void
They think they have good ground for such
a request in the recent decision of the court
in the Kansas liquor cases. In that decision
Justice Harlan says: "We cannot shut out of
view the fact, within the knowledge. of all,
that the public health, the public morals and
the public safety may be endangered by the
general use OF intoxicating drinks, nor the
fact, established By statistics accessible to
everyone, that the idleness, disorder, pauper-
ism and crime existing in the country are, in
some degree at least, traceable to this evil"
The court then affirms the right of a legisla-
ture to pass prohibition laws, aud reafirms
doctrine previously laid down by it in anoth-
er case in these words: So, in Stone versus
Mississippi, where the constitution was in
voked against the repeal by the State of a
charter granted to private corporation to
conduct lottery, and for which that cor
poration paid to the State valuable consid-
Grafton, the court said: tNo legislature can
bargain away the public health or the public
morals. The people themselves cannot do it,
much less their servants. Govern
ment is organized with a view to their pres
ervation and cannot divest itself of the powell
to provide for them"
The prohibitionists feel that in this de-
csion the court has declared that the use of
intoxieants may hurt the public health, and
that no legislature can bargain away the pub
lie health by giving authority to grant liquor
licenses. It is an ingenious idea, and it will
be interesting to see how the court deals
with it.
