The Lafayette Journal thinks that
President Harrison deserves credit
for appointing, in most instances,
resident of territories to territorial
positions, and that President Cleve-
land, IN appointing nonresidents to
these positions""did wrong Results
will show. President Cleveland ap.
pointed non-residents in order to
get men who who were not identified
with the territorial rings, and, by so
doing, accomplished great deal of
good. If he had gone to the terri
torres for his judges, land agents,
surveyors, etc, the rings would
doubtless have had fsll swing during
the last four years, as they had had
fer many years before. Most of
President Harrison's territorial ap-
pointees are notorious iobbers. They
are mp tie their eyes in land grabbing
and other corrupt schemes, and the
territories will probably be prolific in
official scandals during the next four
years.--Indianapolis Sentinel.

Theland grabbers are still at work
to pervert the power OF the state and
make it their ally and assistant in
ropbing the widows and the father
less. Their last assault on the help
less is made in the stronghold Of
capitalistic rascality. A bill is before
the legislature of New York for the
purpose of abolishing the wife's
right of dover in lands owned by
the husband during marriage and
before death. This will enable the
heartless Spectator to turn widows
and orphans destitute upon the cold
charity of the world when death has
robbed them of their natural protec.
tor. Is there any limit to the depth
of heartlessness to which mercenary
humanity can descend? 1t does seem
that avarice is capable of reducing
man TO state lower than the very
beasts. They would rob the widow
of her inheritance and then compel
her to labor for wages that oblige
her to ask churity or starve. Can
the vengeance of God against such
beastly instincts be long Delayed

The Empire Gown.
Take large sized tablecloth
Stitch two sides together,
Run pucker round the top
On ribbon tether
Cut some armholes near the neck,
Put the belt below them,
Just to touch the shoulder blades,
So as not to show them.
Let the skirt be flowing loose,
Like sail that's Tapping
In the vaSrant southern breeze,
Mast and yardarms tapping.
Tack some buttons up the back,
Two or three is plenty,
For you know an empire gown
In the waist is scanty.
Put some lace about the neck,
Sew it there or pin It.
Then, to make the gown complete
Let the girl get In it.

NTEMPERANcE AND THE EATIoNAL GAME.
II is a significant fact that even profess
sional baseball playing now enforces the les
sons OF abstinence and chastity as indispensa-
BILE 10 the highest degree of achievement and
efficiency. Spalding's "Official Baseball
Guide for 1887 says; "The two great obsta-
cles In the way Of the success OF the majority
OF professional ball players arc wine and
women. The saloon and the brothel are the
evils OF the baseball world at the present
day, and we see it practically exemplihed in
the failure Of noted players TO play up TO the
standard they are capable Of were they TO
avoid these gross evils. One day II Is a noted
pitcher fails to serve his club at a critical
period OF the campaign. Anon it Is the dis
graceful cscapade of an equally noted um-
pire. And 50 IL goes from one season to an
other, at the cost OF the loss Of Thousands OF
dollars to clubs who blindly shut their ewes
10 the costly nature OF intemperance and dis
spation in their ranks" 1t adds: 1--WE tell
you, gentlemen of the League and Associa-
tion, the sooner you introduce the prohibi-
tion plank in your contracts the sooner Won
will get rid Of the costly evil OF drunkenness
and dissipation among your Players" There
should be moral conviction against the use
OF alcoholic beverages; but, in any event. we
are glad that the fact that the best physical
condition is possible only ON the basis OF alb
stinence, Is at last becoming more general
Hat1onal Temperance Advocate.
