fell in love yesterday with n young
friends dress, and because it was go
pretty and stylish and at the same time
80 neat and simple, had a picture made
Of it. This young girl could have a
dress made of spun gold set with al
sorts of precious stones if she liked,
therefore the simplicity Of 1T comes from
refined taste, not the cruel needs of
pinching poverty. 1t was Of the pretty,
fluffy wooden goods 30 popular this sea
son, drab with cream white figuring.
The skirt is quite plain with deep plaits
in the back, and it just touches the
ground in the back. The waist is as
plain as the skirt, only with double

SENATOR EDMUNDS Is a man who does not form his judgments hastily, and the fact that he has not yet accepted with out reservation the Mormon declaration against polygamy is, therefore, al. the more significant. Nor does he, on the other hand, assert that these declarations are insincere and unreliable. He simply suggests certain facts, which in view of all the circumstances, must be regarded as somewhat remarkable. He calls at tention to the fact that until the laws against the practice of polygamy were made so effective that by no trick or device could they be evaded, they were evaded, that the adoption of the decree against polygamy was forced by vigor- ous execution of the law, instead of being q matter of conscience. The senator also suggests that if congress should now, because of the decree abolisking polygamy, admit Utah to the Union as soverign state, the country would be left without valid assurance that the Mormons would not at once re-establish polygamy as part of their faith. The territorial laws now in force would at once become null, and political power in Utah would be entirely in the hands of the Mormoms, who constitute a large majority of the people. He believes that it will be unsafe to admit Utah to statehood until there exists no doubt of the real death and the burial beyond hope of resurrection of the infamous twin relic"

Experiment. with Ropes and Wires.


 Some interesting experiments have been made by . French engineer to as- certain definitely the strength, e1tena- bility and elasticity of round and flat ropes of hemp and aloe, and of iron and steel wire. In these Investigations there were employed a horizontal hy- draulic press and weighing apparatus consisting of steel yard and sliding weight by which tsndon of 1S0, 900 pounds could be recorded, and for higher pressures a gauge on the body of the press was used Specimens were fastened by winding each end on a grooved pulley of special construction, the usual length of the specimens being thirteen feet.
 The result of all the tests gave for the average tenAls strengths of ropes the following: White hsmp, 10, 800 to Il, POO pounds per square inch; tarred hemp, 7,7O0 to s,400; white manila, $500 to 1O,600; white aloes, $500 to 7,o0o; flat tarred hemp and manila, 7,s0O to s,4O0. A factor of safety of four, or even three in some cases, is considered safe rope. A rope of un- Annealed wire has an ultimate strength of about 56, 900 pounds per square inch of section of metal When annealed the ultimate strength is reduced to about AZ, 900 pounds; but the elonga- ton is nearly doubled, being nearly 12 to IS per cent. in annsaled wire. The best wire ropes for mining purposes have 8 much higher tensile strength.- New York Telegram.

THE Farmers Alliance may secure some good results, but we fail to see why the Farmers Alliance should run the country any more than the ButcL CTS, Grocer's or Newspaper Alliance No trade nor profession can successfully band itself together to secure P ,rsonal aggrandizement at the expense of the remainder of the country. We are a com mon country, and there should be no dividing line between farmers and pro- fessional men; labor and capital; Irish Germany or French citizens All should, and must work side by side and hand in hand to secure prosperity. The sooner all ideas to the contrary are rooted out, the stronger and more prosperous we will be as na- ton.

IT appears that one of the Enterprise staff was recently assaulted, because-o -oi something which appeared in that paper during the recent political contest. We are a careful reader of the Enterprise and failed to see anything which would call forth such an attack, A news paper in the discharge of its duty toward the community often has to attack the official records of persons, when person ally the matter is repugnant. The question of choice, however, does not lie with the editor. If his best friend has proven recreant to public trust, or if there is anything whatever in con nection with public office, which should be revealed, personal friendships and desires are the last motions which in- fiusnce an honest editor. The editor of a newspaper sinks to a great extent his individuality in that position, and he has no right to urge his individual wishes against those of his community, unless he dissatisfied that they are and not himself is wrong. We consider that an attack upon the editor in the discharge of his simple duty is cowardly and deserv ing of warm reception. No intelligent community will uphold such things and they should not.

PARTIZAN PRESS

Carl Snyder, of the Council Bluffs Qd) Nonpariel delivered the following senti- ments at the last meeting of the Ma tional Editorial Association in Boston:
 would not seek the entire divorce ment of press and party. The conduct of a republic must be by political par ties, and so long as they exist so will the party press. And, great as is the worth and utility of the independent press, that of the party press is not less. Criticism from the ranks is far more quickly and graciously accepted than from the professional critic, or from the newspapers of the opposition. And when shall we recognize the larger free dom and functions of the party press, shall recognize that Its provinces is not less to critiZe the mistakes of the oppos- ing party than the mistakes of its own. A newspaper had better oppose its party when it is in the wrong and en- compass it's defeat, than support it and win fer it victory,
 This may be optimism. The party or gan, I know, is still here. But there is a better spirit abroad, a splendid earn est of the newspaper of the future. And
  paper shall recognize it's own high of flee, and lead the public to such a re- cognItion; when it shall be recognized that newspaper is a business, profes- sional and educational, and not politi- cal or partizan enterprise; when it shall be recognized that the individual and the newspaper is always greater than any party that ever existed; that the newspaper is the creation, not the crsa- ture of parties, and that parties are in themselves nothing, save as a means to an end; when, moreover, it shall be re- cognized that office IS bribe, and that an acceptance of such by a newspaper is an abdication of its high functions as teacher and preacher, legislator and reformer, sentinel watcher, a leader and guide for the people, then will the the emancipation of the party press be achieved.

 AN amusing little episode occurred during the visit of the Duchess of Teck to Exeter Hall, where she went the other day to distribute the prizes given by the Ragged School Union. A regu- lar programme of songs, recitations, etc., had been arranged for the enter tainment, and first on the list stood the "Hurrahr' chorus, by which the Prin- cess was to be welcomed. Most un- usual thing, however, for her, she was very late, and the chairman, Lord Kin naird, was obliged to begin before her arrival. The chorus and a song had al- ready been sung before she appeared; the children rose to welcome the duch- ess with the next song on the list, which, by queer chance, happened to be entitled: Wake up, Mary"

When they reach place con- venient for the purpose they poison the water or food of the passengers, who become insensible, and then they decamp with all the property. They also at times polson the passengers water when being drawn out of wells, or sweetmeats brought from the bazar, or food when being cooked"
