VICTORIA MEANS BUSINESS.
AS the Presidential Champion of
Labor She Proposes to Knock
Out Henry Smith.

| AS the Presidential Champion OF
Labor She Proposes to Knock
Out Henry Smith.
| Milwaukee Sentinel.
A cloud no bigger than woman's
hand is On the horizon of Henry Smiths
presidential aspirations. We have re-
ceived from Victoria Woodruff
Martin several-column proclama-
ton with request to publish.
This proclamation Is clearly intended
to make Victoria solid with the,
labor party. She is now in London,
but will soon invade her native land,
and if we can read between the lines
she means to make bid for the labor
nomination for the presidency. AL
though she has married a London
banker, she has by no means given up
ton to run again for the highest Office
in the republic.
Henry Smith wants to keep jealous
eve on Victoria. She has many advan-
tgges which he does not possess. Not
only has she brains in abundance, but
she has most persuasive tongue
and most eloquent pen. She
can dOuble-discOunt Henry in
the manufacture of pasSiOn-Stirring
phrases. Her keen and vitriolic attacks
on capitalists are far ahead of Henry'S
awkward and stale TRADES, and must be
more popular among the extremists of
Henry's party. She even knows some
thing of grammar and rhetoric. Take
this, for example, from VictOria'S proc
lamatiOn:
"Our government should be the eX-
ample to the world, but above its doors
of state are written in letters of blood,
Meme, Meme, Tekel, UpharSin.' The
people want the leader capable of Crap
ping with this hydra-headed social
monster"
No need to ask whether Victoria
means that she or that Henry Smith
shall be this capable leader. Or, again:
"To-day is as pregnant with revolution
for independence, and is laden with as
mighty import as was that memorable
day in Philadelphia when Tom Paine
rose to the situation and said, what
this country wants is independence, and
l mean revolution"
Henry Smith should note the neatness
of that reference to Tom Paine. If it
doesn't secure for Victoria the support
of the Milwaukee Tom Paine club, then
the club is not what we take it to be.
We feel BIT of local pride in Henry
Smiths prospects for the labor nomi:
nation, but we are bound to admit that
Victoria would make more stirring
campaign Of it. Yet we stand by
Henry and as friend urge him to keep
his eye on the Woodruff.

particularly ''tenderfeet,' their eX-

The Wearer of the second gown illus
trated will appear dainty parsonage.
AS all home toilets should be, it is
gracefully gentle in outlines, charm
ingly subdued in color. A little frosty
glitter here and there of silver en-
broidery mingles with the grayish blue
of the robe.
0, poverty, where is thy sting? one
asks, and we would answer, it wounds
most sadly in the inability to possess
the dainty trifes which go to make up
a perfect wardrobe. 1t is cruel when a
pretty girl has spent all her allowance
on this blue gown and cannot order the
silver-embroidered slippers made in the
remnants of the blue silk; when she can
not afford the patent leather tips for her
walking boots.
Benevolent people do no doubt in
vestigate and ponder well the best
means for benefitting mankind at large
with the money they distribute. Why
do they not think OF the gentle Woman-
kind? Why has none of them estab-
lished fund for supplying yearning
young women with pretty boots. Think
of the pleasure Unreasonable such
philanthropy would give, the wrinkled
brOws it would smooth, the heart burn
ings it would sOothe. At the same time
how it would brighten up the commu-
nity at large!

appellation, writes Annie E. Myers in
the Chicago Tribune.
In this spirit ladies will be glad to
have called to them the French word

have in our language no equivalent
term, aud will hereafter use it as do
Partisan mOdisteS for all underwaists,
puffS, and vests of toilets.
Ii allowed peep behind the drawn
blinds of some domiciles to-day an opti-
mist might be shocked to find the Len
ten gloom pervaded not alone by sack
clock hablliments and cute little urns of
ashes. This is eXplainable. The thrifty
woman knows good thing when
she has it thrust upon her. She recOg-
niZeS it is desirable to have her spring
sewing we'll under way during the quiet
weeks before Easter. She draws the
DortiereS and busieS herself deyising
toilets which will not see the electric
lights before the full-fledged coming
season is at hand.
There is nothing somber in her sur
roundings, thus employed. Potent
whispers indicate much gayety in col
ors for those toilets. White and the
most delicate tints in bright colors will
be worn, even in street dresses. Long
clOaks in contrasting shades will, how
ever, in the latter case be used to pre-
serve the toilet and protect 1t from too
critical eyes.
We anticipate the needs of these la

robbers and relieved of his valuables,
while the others kept up the chase. The
sergeant who was with Whipple had
by this time found his rifle and began
to return the fire. A well aimed bullet
struck him in the breast, and he fell
back in Maj. Whipple's arms, dying
soon after, but not before he had fired a
shot which gave one of the pursuers a
wound he will remeber until his dying
day. Whipple emptied his revolver
without effect. and then, gathering up
the lines, lashed the mules into still

known to themselves, and suffering
from constitutional inability to work
for an honest living, devoted their en-
ergy and time to coralling other peoples
cash in various ways. Of these the
highwaymen who devoted themselves
to holding up stage coaches, were re-
cognized as the leaders. Contrary to
the general opinion they still exist, and
many neatly performed robbery takes
place that never finds its way into
print. The GLOBE representative
was personally cogniZant of one that per-
haps you might care to hear about. But
it is we'll first to know something about
the stage robber and his methods; in
fact, how stages are held up before lis
tening to the incident that will be re-
lated. In the first place, dismiss from

victims that renders the question of
courage insignificant. Now for the
modus operandi. You must know that
though there are several transcOnti-
mental lines of railway there are very
few north and south lines. COmmuni-
cation in these directions is still by
stage. From Butte City, for instance,
and from Helena to neighboring mining
camps. and from Bismarck to
Deadwood. The same is true
of. the southwest. These stages
frequently carry a good deal of wealth
in tile way of express treasure and bull
ion, and sometimes have as passengers
business men OF miners who have small
fortunes sewed up in their clothes.
These are the highwaymen's victims.
There is generally an organized band of
the robbers, whose leader is a man of
superior intelligence and whose orders
are implicitly obeyed. He makes it his
business to find out when desirable
stage is to be on the road. He then no.

for work. Winchesters are inspected,

money to work on. There are plen<
ty of splendid claims hero, but
would not advise any one to move
here unless he has enough money TO
fence his section, bulld a house, dig
a well, buy team of horses, COW,

least a Year, until they can raise
crop. This would require from $500
TO 81 900; but when you are settled
all right you have 100 acres of good
land that has not cost you one cent,
except the Land Office fees, and you
can go to plewing the next day afs

grubbing is necessary. Nature has
done everything except milking the
improvements. Sod ground turned
over last fall is now just as mellow
as AN ash-heap, and will produce
anything you plant in it, if the seas
son is not too dry.
Many would suppose from our
lack of government that this would
be a refuge for outlaws of all dcscrip
tions, but such is not the case.
While we can not secure titles to
our land now because no surveys
have been made nor can be until
Congress gives us relief, yet the
people see to. it that law breakers
are punished by provisions which
they themselves have made, and
which are vigorously executed.
The result is that no State is ireur
from crime and criminals than the
neutral strip. No judge or jury
could improve our status in this re-
spect.
