rison, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, and b. Har-

IN THE DISCUSSION concerning the Army
bill in the House on Tuesday the aqueduct
tunnel scandal came up. Yes, and 1t will
keep coming up. Fortunately for the Army,
it is the only thing of the kind which can

scandal, however, in way which would
indicate that nothing of the sort ever oc-

be nonsensical.

FORTY YEARS AGO in Naples two brl-

period which it was thought they could
not outlive. The other day, having served
their sentence, they were set free, Think

ment in dungeon. Truly, they are the
modern prisoners of Chlllon.

Ever since this Administration came

No sooner did the country feel that

The description of his aches and all

Something About Stationery.

There is hardly anything about which peo-
pie in society are so particular as their sta
tionery. 1t has been said that the, social
status of the writer of a letter can be told by
the envelope. The--1s recognized "formr
in the style of the stationery used for certain
occasions, just as there is in the way note
is written, an invitation worded or an en-
velope addressed. Styles in stationery change
like style in clothes, and it is possible to be
out of the fashion in one as well as the other.
Tue most elegant as well as genteei paper
sold is q heavy cream white sheet folding
once into a square envelope This sheet may
have a rough finish and the curiously mottled
appearance of coarse wrapping paper
by the irregular arrangement of water
lines when IL is known as Grecian antique.
1t may be smoothly finished, with no gloss
and very heavy and silky in texture, when it
is called "kid tinished.n 1t may have rough
cloth finish, or peculiar rough effect, known
as ''parChment vellum." Quite the largest
paper used is a so.called etching paper"
which has rough surface with various ir-
regular depressions, and rougher still, almost
like Bristol board is the socalled handmade
parchment. A new variety Of paper has
broad water lines stamped across the paper
horizontally and diagonally applied to the
envelope. There is an effort to revive mono
grams and crests, but it is not likely to meet
with much success.

1t may seem the apex of audacity for me to
address to YOU an open letter but | take it
for granted YOU are all Temperance men and
in favor of the promotion oftemperance; and,
asI have been life long advocate of the
same principle, 1 take the risk of being con-

AS temperance men YOU advocate no
doctrine which would increase the number
of saloons, or throw them open more hours
of the day, or more days in the week, in the
community where You are expected to look
after the morals of the people AS there is
one Sunday before November ., and you
must want to know the truth, allow me to
suggest that you appoint committee Of
your number to 90 about this city Sunday,
Octo Der 20, and see if the saloons are closed,
Then drive to Council Bluffs and see If they
are closed there, If you do not find them
Closediu Omaha and open in Council Bluffs,

every church in this city to be used for
you are to announce to your congregations
the fact, with or without comment
Do you know that while you are preaching
prohibition sermons on November =, with
every saloon in the city closed, the ministers
in every city in Iowa. with possibly one ex-
ception, will be preaching with open saloons
on every hand some of them un der the shad-
Ows of the church spires Do you know that
after trial of prohi bitiou In these towns for
nearly decade, the number of saloons is lin
tied only by their ability to subsist, and that
they are regulated only 10y the will of the
proprietor, except where the city authorities
in violation of the law, for the protection of
the community have put them to some
extent under police regulationi Do you
know that the saloons at Cut-Off lake, where
so many Sunday fights and brawls occur, are
on prohibition soil, Do you expect differ
ent state of affairs in Omaha if prohibition
prevails: If so, on what can you base your
expectationi If it can be that you advocate
theory, be it never so good in itself, which,
If it prevails, will turn the saloons loose upon
the community TO open where and when they
please, then there is a gulf between prohi bi-
