surprise among the lady prohibitionists
present, as many:of them remembered
that many years ago the doctor had
asked Congress to pass a law almost
identical with this bill. She said her
reason for opposing the bill was that
such a law could not be enforced. She
said Congress might as well attempt
to pass bill forbidding women wear
ing hoops, bustles, corsets, and trains,
or to compel them to dress like DIR.

PEOPLE are inclined to smile sarcastic
ally nowadays when the old fashioned
proverb, Honesty is the best policy" is
mentioned. And yet after a life time of
toll and the accumulation of wealth that
exceeds Il million dollars, old Jacob Sharp
Yesterday descended into his grave in New
York unwept and %unhonored, his very
funeral rites performed with secresy and
with shame. The death and burial of
Jacob Sharp recalls the proud career and
the miserable ending of Tweed; the dis
grace of everyone connected with him in
his gigantic thieverY; the subsequent
expatriation of some OF them; the social
ostracism and wretched death of others,
and the Nemesis that has mercilessly pur-
sued that once powerful %coterie. Day by
day we have practical illustrations to
prove that honesty, after all, is the best
policy, and we have lately had no stronger
reminder of this in recent years than
that furnished by the profoundly in
structive career OF old Jacob Sharp.
