We have received a copy of the
handsomely illustrated prospectus
for 1892 issued by the Detroit Free
Press. The achievements of this
famous paper in the past have been
great, but if its promises for the
future are to be fulfilled and there
certainly is no reason to expect
the contrary-the Detroit Free
Press will in 1892 be, as its publish
ers, confidently claim, the most en-
tertaining and instructive paper
published, giving additional pleas
ures to its thousands of old subscri-
bers and fresh enjoyment to the
many thousand new ones that its
merits deserve. Its list of contribu-
tors for 1892 includes many of the
most famous names in American
literary and public life, and most
of the articles to published are
of unusual Importance and interest,
presenting splendid array of val
liable features in addition to the
inimitable work done by its own
staff of bright and famous writer's
The publishers of the Free Press
will mail copies of the paper and
prospectus to all applicants. p

War To The Death,

The fight over the Ohio Senator
ship is growing hot and the weap-
ons are becoming CORY.
The mud singing goes on on both
sides, and it is difficult to tell which
of the contestants will get the
worst of the battle.
The Cyeveldnd Plain Dealer of
Sunday thus portrays the situation:
The war of the razors goes mer-
rily on. The fierce Foraker stands
knee deep in gore while the ungen-
ial John presents the melancholy
appearance of having gone down
in a sitting position where the COWS
are kept. There is no limit to the
vile abuse and vindicitive mud
singing. Senator Sherman is
openly charged with having pur-
chased his seat on two former oc-
casiOns and with n braZen attempt
to purchase it again. He is accus-
ed of amassing millions out of Il
salary that has at no time in his
career exceeded $4,000 year. This
mystery of Sherman's millions has
been solved and he is boldly charg-
ed with having sacrificed his offici-
al honor for the sake of gains in
deals whereby he was enabled to
cast his vote in the Senate in be-
half of measures that meant finaI-
cial success to himself.
On the other hand Foraker is re-
ferred to by Sherman's supporters
as ballot box forger and danger
Gus citizen generally. The charges
against both these gentlemen come
from men high in the ranks of
their own party and have about
them all the force which attaches
to authoritative statements. They
are not new, but they gain a new
Importance coming as confession
from men who ought to know
whereof they speak.
Much more than has yet been
said no doubt can and will be given

NO INDUSTRY got more deadly
stroke from the Mckinley tariff
than the carpet industry. The fol-
lowing picture, drawn by the Bos-
ton Journal of Commerce., is not ex-
aggerated:
The carpet manufacturing indus
try is apparently in deplorable
condition, with no immediate pros
pect of its being better. 1t points
inevitably to the stoppage of a
considerable amount of machinery
in the near future, more than what
is already idle. The prices at which
carpets are now offered are below
the cost of manufacturing and mar
keting. They represent loss that
may be den ominated almost peri
lous, which the richest corporations
soon must seriously consider if it
continues much longer. That there
is an overproduction must be adj
mitted, and this condition will be
deeply impressed on the industry
if no relief is derived from the late
reduction in prices, by which Az
ministers can be bought ut $1.2O,
brussels at 924 cents and ingrains
at 524 cents per yard.

IT is hopeful sign TO see the
Democratic party in Louisiana
throw off the baleful influence of
the lottery. The splitin the Con-
vention left the organization in the
control of the anti-lottery delegates
who resist the debauchery of the
State will make the Irregular NOM
nations. If the lottery men shall
decide to run a separate ticket the
voting is pretty sure to be done up
on this issue. Several of the lead
ing Republicans are also leading
supporters of the lottery, but the
white Republican vote is believed
to be largely "anti." When a great
gambling institution seeks to alter
constitutions, control legislation
nominate parties and debauch the
State it should be cut up, root and
branch.

Rcprel,ensible silence,

We have not been informed as
yet, whose cause the Republican
Gazette champions for Senator.
The editor, Mr.. Pursell, is u di-
rect beneficiary of John Sherman,
and nevertheless the Gazette is as
silent as the tomb, on the question.
Editor Pursell is individually for
the Mansfield icicle, but this ends
it.
Every one knows that had it not
been for the potent influence of the
Man of Mansfield, some other Re-
publican would now be performing
the duties and squandering the sal
airy attached, to the postofilce and
the favorable influence of this po-
tent power Mr.. Pursell could only
obtain by reason of his connection
with the Gazette. Why is it then
that the Gazette is silent?
Does editor Pursell fear that in
the final round up of the contest
he may be found on the losing side,
or is he restrained by the strong
popular sentiment among the lead
ing men of his party in this locali-
ty IN favor of Foraker?
The Republican Gazette is rapid
ly becoming back number 10y
reason of the reticence of its editor.
Speak up, Bro. Pursell and de.
fend the cause of your political
god father.

The War Record of Elkins.
Plain Dealer.

Plain Dealer.
The Republican biographical
sketches of Stephen Is. Elkins say
he served in the union army, al
though his father was a confeder-
ate and two of Steve's brothers
were in the confederate army. The
"official" account of his career sent
out with the announcement of his
appointment as secretary of war
says: Gle served in 1923 as a
captain in the Seventy-seventh
Missouri regiment and in the later
year went to New Mexico, where
he was admitted 10 the bar in '64."
The st. Louis Republic says: "Elk-
ins' war record is somewhat cloudy
and mysterious. There are hints
thrown out from time to time that
he served for while in the Mis-
souri, militia during the war, that
there is a record of his entrance in.
to that service, but no record of his
discharge or retirement from the
service. In fact some are unkind
enough to make the direct charge
that Steve took French leave of
the Missouri militia on the eve of
an expected fight and went direct
to New Mexico, where he grew up
with the country and got rich"
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times says: "Some
Missourians here are of the opin-
ion that records can be found in
Missouri that will show in good
black and white that Elkins, at the
outbreak of the war, was in the
service of the confederacy in Mis-
souri, and that he remained in that
service until it became apparent
that the other side would win"
Ianman's typographical Annals"
compiled from the congressional
directories, omits all mention of
the military service of Elkins.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Well how did you like it? Don't
answer right away. Think little first
Put yourself in the place of any actor or
public speaker who can not go on with
his lines for fear of being interrupted at
any time by drunken fellow who walks
around over the house, in first one place
then another and whom you feel sure
will turn your best sentences into ridi-
Guile If this can embarass and handicap
an actor or speaker in the same measure
it spoils the pleasure Of the audience.
It seemed to me that I never saw more
trying situation for any actors.
This is an old play and had been seen
by some in the audience mapv times yet
it is from a work that has been trans
lated into almost as many languages as
our bible.
1t was a novel with wonderful politi.
Cal effect. Won't you look up the date
of it and something of its influence on
the political issues of its day.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of
Uncle Toms Cabin is now a very old
woman. Her work is done. She has
lost her mental powers, has the simple
intelligence of child and is utterly in.
capable of any literary work. But she
has done enough. She was grand
woman and while she wrote many books
had still time to look after her family,
and perhaps the last is the greatest
accomplishment of all.

If you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be well to re-.
member that the Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than q mere
mention for the reason that every man,
!! woman and child in the country is so
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule "ELI"
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph IN the morning, placing the passen-
ger IN st. Louis IN the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
st. Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

TO KANSAS CITY AND RETURN
School Girls Dresses.

Do you think I could have forgot.
ten the school girls when they
work so hard? Well, you mustn't think
it, not for minute. I studied them as
closely as they studied their arithmetic
Let me tell you first OF one observed in
a Pullman car. She isn't first but you
know she keeps coming up before me
with her black eyes, black hair and pretty
quiet manners till I must tell you about
her to get rid of her.
Her dress was of a brown gray trimmed
with golden bro wn covered buttons with
the cord "buttonhole," or loop attached.
The skirt was such a pretty length for
twelve year old girl, not quite to her
shoe tops. The skirt was plain. The
waist had full vest set in almost blouse
effect. At the waist line in front was a
half belt point IN front. Two short
rsveres turned back from vest. Belt and
reveres were trimmed with buttons. The
back of the waist had three stitched
plaits on each side. A bow with long
loops and ends finished the back of the
waist. Her hair was banged straight
across and hung straight and free in the
back like cape. And I've been wonder
ing ever since how she kept it SO nice. It
was always just in place. 1t wasn't all
over her sholders switching here, there
and every where, but now think of it
again, believe it was all because of her
pretty manners. She was SO graceful and
made no awkward, or boisterous motions.
I think that is the secret of her pretty
head of hair.
Another little lady of about fourteen
years was having such pretty dress
fitted when called to see about my own
work. Her dress was brown serge. It
just occurred to me to look over my notes,
and do You know the suits are almost all
browr. It must be true, what the dress
makers said, Eyes, brown is very fashion
able this fall" Not only that but the
dressmakers name was brown too.
But we must go back to the little lady
who is standing all this time fitting her
dress, and talking very little, 80 little that
you wish she might say more for she had
the sweetest, most perfectly modulated
voice that I think ever heard from one
OF her age. And that voice will be worth
more to her in the way of making friends
than all the fine dresses in Christendom
would be for persons of some voices.
But we will describe that dress. The
skirt was plain with band of shaded
beaver about six inches from the bottom
all around. The bodice was a short
pointed basque, plated vest and beaver
bands on each side of vest from shoulder
to bottom of basque. It fastened in the
back. Sleeves were finished with cuffs
and band of beaver.
Now girls if this isn't plain just come
over and I'll make it plain.
