device probably for use in Chicago,

ure of big feet. Mrs. JENNEss-
MILLER, who is accepted as one
of high authority. objects that
skirt extending to the tops of the
shoes is not elegant and throws all the
lines of the figure out of proportion"
She and several others would have the
skirt stop at the knee. with cloth-top
boots extending to that elevation and
disappearing. Miss LILLE DEvEREAUX
BLAKE is a woman of much grace and
beauty herself, and she would not have
any style adopted that would attract
unpleasant attention. She says that
business women, least of all, can af
ford to SO dress as TO excite ridicule.
She would consult comfort without
shacklng fashion, and keep three or
four inches from the ground. If it is
so important to suit the tastes of men,
perhaps the decision should be left to
them; but there is no personal desire to
serve on the commission.

USE OF A BIG COUNTRY.

The Milwaukee Sentinel notes among
the advantages of having big country,
with room for all sorts of opinions, that
the superior court of New York requires
LILLIAN RUSSELL to pay her manager
B2,00O for refus ing to wear tights on the
stage, while in Minnesota the leglsla-
lure would make it penal otfense to
wear the cloSe-ftt!ng encaSement. The
solution of the divergent view, however,
is not happy. The Sentinel supposes
that the humane legislators in this state
sympathize with the waarerS OF dia-
phanOus attire, and would shield them
from the rude, chilling winds, while the
milder conditions in New York obviate
the objection. In his memorial address
npon DANIEL WEBSTER, RUFUS
CHoATE said the high qualities in the
human composition must be sought
near the sources Of the streams. Min
nesota is at the head waters of the
greatest river, and a different status in
these artistic and ethical observations
should be expected. Pastoral simple
ity may send down the lessons of
draped out unperyerted nature with its
lnVigOratlng waters.

and climatic conditions. The chief es-
sentials for prosperous season are
good crops and remunerative prices.
For some years past farm products have
been at figures that did not afford
satisfaction to the agriculturists, bat
they have been advancing of late.
The present prices would induce
cheerfulness with the producers if
they had much surplus. They have adj
vanced at greater ratio than have the
articles in the main that the farmers
have to buy. If the prices of what they
are likely to have to sell this year can
be maintained and the surplus meet the
seeming promise, the farmers will be
more prosperous and all other interests
will share the better condition. At all
events, it is the wsest way TO see the
brighter aspects when the hints thrown
out by nature and events afford reason
able basis for them. The food supplies
for the increasing consumption of the
world have hardly kept pace with the
demands Of late, and however generous
the yield Of the crops this year, it is be-
lieved there will be No material reduc-
ton in prices.

The Connecticut Usurper.

Louisville CourierJ ournal.
Without entering at all upon the alb
stract question of law, it may be re-
marked that if Bulkeley is governor de
facto he is so wholly by reason of his
own wrong. If he had used his infiu-
ence to induce the house to perform its
duty, Gov. Morris would long since have
been seated. Bulkeley has pursued di-
rectly the opposite course; he has done
all he could to prevent the house from
declaring his successor elected. The
acts OF the house are his acts. because
he has advised, inStigated and procured
them. To all intents and purposes he is
an usurper in fact, even though he be
regarded as having a colorado legal
title to hold over. Whatever title he
has, if any, has been derived from the
lawlesS refusal of the house to perform
plain duty, and this refusal he has adj

Will He VETO TIP

The question is asking nowadays. eff
the usury bill shall be finally enacted in
its present proposed shape by both
house and senate, will the governor
veto lt?''
The answer is, probably not. 1t looks
now as though this would be the first
important measure on which the eXecu-
tive will be required to pass Judgment.
This is unfortunate. because it puts orr
jovial king in trying position.
He probably agrees with the GLOBE
that the bill is an unwiSe one, and that
it would be better for the borrower if
money were left free to regulate Its own
maximum price. But if ne vetoes it.
people will say that he did so because
his own personal interests influenced
him.
This would be untrue, because Mr..
MERRIAM is too honorable gentleman
TO let his pecunlary advantage dictate
his course in an official eXigency. But
there are some citizens in remote part
of the state who do not know him as
well as the GLOBE does. 1t would be
hard to convince them that he acted
from disinterested desire to do what
was right should he kill the bill.
But, if he does not, will he not ex-
pose himself to the charge of cowardice.
and greatly disappont his admirers and
his friends who are in the money loan
ing business? Is it not his duty to ex-
ercise his right of veto when it is his
honest opinion that the good of Mime
sofa demands its exercise? And ought
he to consider at all what people will
say about him?
These are not easy queries to reply
to. All this shows how much easier il

ALLEYS BILL.
1t Charges Certain Fraudulent
Proceedings.

CHICAGO, March 12.-In the "Monon"
litigation Judge Tuley has allowed the
Fit. Wayne, Terre Haute Sc Southwest
ern Railroad company to become party
defendant. The bill filed by William
S. Alley charges the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago railway with making
fraudulent contract and lease with the
Terre Haute road. and also alleges that
the "MOnOn" guaranteed the bonds to
aid the Terre Haute in its construction
of its road. A petition in behalf of the
Terre Haute denies that one dollar for
its road was deriued from the "Monon,"
and it is insisted that the lease and con-
tract with the 'Monon" is bona tide.
Leave was granted the Kentucky &
Indiana Bridge company to file an
intervening petition i'll the case. The
petitioner operates railroad bridge
crossing the Ohio river from Louisville
to New Albany and there is due it from
the defendant S10,750 on account of
rent of terminal railroad in Kentucky
belonging to the bridge company which
extends from the bridge to the Louis
vile Southern Railroad company.
There is also due the bridge company
from the "MOnon'' 1864 for services
and material and supplies furnished.
On the representation that the bill
made serious charges against President
William l.. BreyfOgIe without making
him party to the suit, the court
allowed him to become party defend
ant and he will file an answer.
